@Atlantis, you need to grab beta 2.1.7.3, it has full unicode for x265 and other fixes.

Any way to create the softlinks for avisynth manually? I cannot get staxrip to not fail to create them automatically, forcing me to use the installed version, and thought that it might work if I create them myself?

They can be created with mklink which is a cmd built-in.

https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/win...%20hard%20link.

But they are needed for all tools that don't support a custom avisynth path:

ffmpeg, x264, x265, VCEEnc

edit:

but this will not work due to how the feature is implemented in staxrip

Sorry, I should have been more specific, I know how to create symlinks, it's something I do a lot of, but I don't know what links need to be created where.

DId you try running staxrip as administrator, only on time, so the links are created

Installed the beta. What is the new High Tier option in x265 encoding?

Right click on it.
And on Apps Manager(F9), go to x265 > Help > Online, and search.

It's not new. It's been around in some other category.
However, you don't have to touch it in reality in almost all cases.

I love those options. The best options are the options that you don't have to touch!
Maybe it was better to be in another category if it is not that important. Better to keep the main, first page options simple and clean.

It's placed there because it's very closely related to Level.
Activating high tier becomes meaningful only when a specific level(--level-idc) is set.

Of course, first thing I tried.

@uNderdog_101 there could be another reason why symlinks caan not be created: something is already there.
Go to the following folders inside Staxrip's tree:
APPS/Encoders/ffmpeg
APPS/Encoders/QSVEnc
APPS/Encoders/x264
APPS/Encoders/x265

If there is any avisynth.dll in those folders (with size zero or other than zero), delete those avisynth.dll.

Then retry.

You're welcome. The behaviour you're describing is normal behaviour of a newly "installed" staxrip, since maybe forever. There was no bug indeed.
I think your other issue is also something "normal" that you'll figure out, since it has not been reproduced elsewhere...

I have figured it out why it fails to create the softlink. in my case AviSynth+ was installed, so I uninstalled it and remove/delete the avisynth.dll file that was left on the system32 folder. Then run StaxRip and all works fine.

I don't see how it would cause a problem, and it also cannot be reproduced. But DJATOM wants to add an option to define the avisynth location, then soft links are only needed when x264 or ffmpeg load avs.

For ffmpeg, soft links are needed even if avisynth is not installed, because ffmpeg does not use default DLL loading which would search in PATH, it uses a limited DLL search for increased security.

A possible solution that would remove the need for soft links altogether is described here:

Are there avisynth smoothing filters included in the staxrip menus? I don't find any.

Just a simple question regarding audio issue.

I do a lot of VHS recording and all of these recordings come out like this

Code:
Format                         : AC-3
Format/Info                    : Audio Coding 3
Commercial name                : Dolby Digital
Muxing mode                    : DVD-Video
Duration                       : 1 h 8 min
Bit rate mode                  : Constant
Bit rate                       : 256 kb/s
Channel(s)                     : 2 channels
Channel layout                 : L R
Sampling rate                  : 48.0 kHz
Frame rate                     : 31.250 FPS (1536 SPF)
Compression mode               : Lossy
Delay relative to video        : -288 ms
Stream size                    : 126 MiB (3%)
Service kind                   : Complete Main
Now all I want to do is keep them at AC3 but boost the sound slightly using this custom command -af
dynaudnorm=p=0.94:m=70:s=22
though it won't let me keep the 256k bitrate at the same time as using the command.

Is there a way of getting Staxrip to let me keep the same audio bitrate of 256kbps and use the custom command.

Ps...sorry forgot to mention it will only let me set the bitrate at 224 if I got to 256 it says it's an invalid bitrate.

you solve my same problem on win10 LTSB . i uninstall it a while ago but never manage to use it in staxRip. delete 2 avisynth.dll C:\Windows\System32 & C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and no nag for creating soft link anymore.
thanks
