StaxRip 2.0 Support Thread

[tormento]

Thanks you both

[Natty]

i want to load 2 videos at once on and use some frames from video 1 and some from video 2. is it possible to index 2 videos in 1 job?

[Khun_Doug]

Natty, could you explain what you are trying to do? For instance, are you trying to merge part of video #1 and then append part of video #2, to make just one video? Or do you want specific frames from video #2 interspersed with video #1 as the output video?

[Atlantis]

You can surely do that in an avs script.

Hi. How to encode in EAC3? I tried with eac3to and it ended up outputting a normal ac3.

So you are saying that msvc builds are no longer faster than gcc builds on intel cpus? Also, is there a way we can force the encoder to use avx2? I have seen x265 builds with avx2, avx tags and supposedly, for avx2 pcs, avx2 builds are slightly faster.

maybe --asm avx2? from x265 docs:
"Performance Options

--asm <integer:false:string>, --no-asm

x265 will use all detected CPU SIMD architectures by default. You can disable all assembly by using --no-asm or you can specify a comma separated list of SIMD architectures to use, matching these strings: MMX2, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, XOP, FMA4, AVX2, FMA3, AVX512

Some higher architectures imply lower ones being present, this is handled implicitly.

One may also directly supply the CPU capability bitmap as an integer.

Note that by specifying this option you are overriding x265’s CPU detection and it is possible to do this wrong. You can cause encoder crashes by specifying SIMD architectures which are not supported on your CPU.

Default: auto-detected SIMD architectures"

I can compile versions with gcc and msvc (both with avx and avx2) and you can test them.

That will be great, if its not too much of a bother for you

you cannot encode it properly using command line. Even if you could the result would be bad as ffmpeg eac3 encoder is very bad.

You need Dolby Media encoder for that

Hi, I got same result still

Hi,
is it possible to change/modifier parameters of a saved job ?

thanks,
proper 88

[stax76]

@Arkana

Code 126 means ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND, it should mean DLL could not be found but unfortunately Windows does not tell which DLL, it could be a dependency.

is it possible to change/modifier parameters of a saved job ?

The Jobs dialog has a Load button, this should work for normal jobs, for batch jobs I'm not sure.

only taking some frames from each source. lets say i have 3 sources with 100 frames each. i would like to take 20 frames from source 1, 40 from source 2 and 40 from sources 3 selectively and filter all of them selectively scene by scene and make a hybrid encode of 100 frames.

i can get that to work with my AVS/VS script and there are many other things which can be done but for that to work. i think i would need to index 2 - 3 videos at once. or is it possible without it?

You almost certainly need to manually write an AVS or VPY script for that. And the really nice thing with manually editing a script is you can apply different filters, different resize, etc.This sounds like an interesting project. I have an AVS script I use to read multiple sources and then I have different methods of viewing the sources. Stack vertical/horizontal, and view differences between them. Manually editing a script can do some really neat things.

good morning people,
I'm having problems with staxrip using VapourSynth, since they released the new version r49 I can't use staxrip stable or beta, only previous versions like r48.
now released version VapourSynth r50 and the same error occurs see the printscreen.
when loading the video file it already gives error of VapourSynth did anyone experience the same problem?
NOTE: I have already tried the portable version and the problem continues, if using R48 it works normal, this version of python 3.8 is installed.
thank you

who can help me thank you.

@jonrodrigos

Probably your vapoursynth setup does not work, it happens often.

If you use the last staxrip beta 2.1.1.2 you can use the included portable vapoursynth version, to do so there are two ways:

1. Uninstall python and vapoursynth

2. Go into the Apps dialog and define a custom path to the included python and vapoursynth version

good afternoon, thanks for the reply but I pointed to the internal folders as requested and the error continues. my current version is the latest beta staxrip 2.1.1.2 if i install the R48 version it works, only at 49 and 50 that happens, I have tried several versions of staxrip with the r49 and 50 versions and it does not work.
any video file when it finishes loading it presents this error.
I already did a virtual pc to test and the same happens.
