It's not hard-wired in anymore, which is a reasonable decision. You can still use DGDecNV but you have to jump through a hoop or two. No big deal. It's been addressed here and a search should help you along.

So what's the problem? What should I do? It's video shot by iPhone 11 Pro. It's detecting the framerate incorrectly it seems.

It also says:

Code:
Frame rate mode          : Variable
Frame rate               : 60.000 FPS
Minimum frame rate       : 54.545 FPS
Maximum frame rate       : 60.000 FPS
It's not something I know much or have interest, I hope somebody else can help, maybe ask in the synth section or better in the l-smash support thread.

Yes, it is the LSMASHVideoSource reader. Maybe it is good after all to index!

I put the file in an mkv container and now it encodes without any error.

How to register DGDecNV in StaxRip (>2.1.0.7) with the macro %startup_dir%

As you know, starting with 2.1.0.8, StaxRip stopped supporting DG Tools natively in the app {per the developer's request (X)}.
<= fix: see this post.

Four tools are affected by this change: DGIndexNV, DGSource, DGTonemap, and DGHDRtoSDR.

Among them, DGIndexNV and DGSource are packaged as DGDecNV, which is a non-free program you need to buy for $15.

In this post, I show how to register DGIndexNV and DGSource using the StaxRip macro %startup_dir% assuming that a purchased/licensed copy of DGDecNV is unzipped to a folder somewhere under the app folder which is denoted by the macro %startup_dir%.

Here, I assume DGDecNV folder is %startup_dir%Apps\Support\DGDecNV.

For this setup, you need to launch a new StaxRip window without any project.


1. DGSource

1) Add DGSource in AVS Filters => Profiles



Under the [Source] section, add the following lines:
Code:
DGSource =
    # Setting is changed since 2.1.0.8 after native DG Tools support is dropped.
    LoadPlugin("%startup_dir%Apps\Support\DGDecNV\DGDecodeNV.dll")
    DGSource("%source_file%")



2) Add DGSource as a source filter

Go to Tools => Settings, and register DGSource as a source filter for dgi.




For VapourSynth, switch to VapourSynth and repeat similar steps as follows:






Code:
DGSource =
    # Setting is changed since 2.1.0.8 after native DG Tools support is dropped.
    core.std.LoadPlugin(r"%startup_dir%Apps\Support\DGDecNV\DGDecodeNV.dll")
    clip = core.dgdecodenv.DGSource(r"%source_file%")



2. DGIndexNV

Under Preprocessing in Settings, register DGIndexNV as a command line demuxer.



You can create 2 types of demuxers with DGIndexNV depending on the input file types.


[Index, No demux]


Arguments:
Code:
-i %source_files_comma% -o "%source_temp_file%.dgi" -h
Depending on your situation, you may want to add additional Input File Types.

See this.


[Index & Demux]


Arguments:
Code:
-i %source_files_comma% -o "%source_temp_file%.dgi" -a -h
Make sure to put the command that points to DGIndexNV.exe file directly since DGIndexNV is not registered internally under Apps => Manage.

Code:
"%startup_dir%Apps\Support\DGDecNV\DGIndexNV.exe"

Sorry but that is false. As I mentioned several times, I asked that instead of bundling my binaries that links be provided. Completely removing the dedicated support was stax76's decision.

Nevertheless, thank you for your guide. It will help a lot of people, I hope.

I see. Sorry about the misunderstanding. I fixed the post accordingly.

BTW, I have a question: Are DGTonemap and DGHDRtoSDR free of charge?
My understanding is that they are free to use, but I want to double check.

I'd like to put a post on setting up those two filters in StaxRip after your confirmation.

I used the exact same method of encoding, I need to encode it so it will play on a Apple Mac hence the aac setting.



I just tried to convert it but got this error

Code:

It's unclear what the exit code means, in case it's a Windows system error then it possibly means:

Re-open the project under:

File > Recent Projects


In the audio settings you can try:

Encoder > qaac


After that override/replace the AAC audio profile to use qaac, it's probably better and should be made the default AAC encoder.

Cheers mate will try that on my next conversion see if its any better.

Ps...just a small question regarding the actual bitrate of the audio when setting it to encode to aac it always puts it down to AAC 106 kbps, I have just set the encoder now to use qaac like you said what setting should I be setting it on to get the same bitrate as 256 AC3.

I changed it to qaac CBR 256 is that correct?

How to register DGTonemap & DGHDRtoSDR filters in StaxRip (>2.1.0.7) with macros

As we can register DGDecNV in StaxRip (>2.1.0.7) using macros, we can add DGTonemap & DGHDRtoSDR filters in a similar way as follows.


■ Download & unzip the filter files

Download DGTonemap and DGHDRtoSDR from the developer's site.

Make sure to put x64 versions.

DGTonemap supports AviSynth only while DGHDRtoSDR supports both AviSynth and VapourSynth.

For convenience, I assume you put the filters in somewhere under the StaxRip app folder as follows:

Code:
%startup_dir%Apps\Plugins\AVS\DGToneMap\
%startup_dir%Apps\Plugins\Dual\DGHDRtoSDR\

Now open an empty StaxRip window and do the following setting.


■ AviSynth filters

Open and edit AVS profiles:



<DGTonemap>

Replace/Add the following item related to DGTonemap under the [Color] section:


Code:
HDRCore | Tone Mapping =
    # DGTonemap setting is changed since 2.1.0.8 after native DG Tools support is dropped.
    LoadPlugin("%startup_dir%Apps\Plugins\AVS\DGToneMap\DGTonemap.dll")
    $select:msg:Select the Map Tone You Wish to Use;DGReinhard|DGReinhard();DGHable|DGHable()$
<DGHDRtoSDR>

Replace/Add the following item related to DGHDRtoSDR under the [Color] section:


Code:
DGHDRtoSDR =
    # Setting is changed since 2.1.0.8 after native DG Tools support is dropped.
    LoadPlugin("%startup_dir%Apps\Plugins\Dual\DGHDRtoSDR\DGHDRtoSDR.dll")
    DGHDRtoSDR(mode="$select:msg:Select transfer function;Perceptual Quantizer|pq;Hybrid Log Gamma|hlg$", white=$enter_text:Enter overall brightness in integer (max 3,000 for PQ, max 10,000 for HLG)$)

■ VapourSynth filters

Change the filters type from AviSynth to VapourSynth by clicking Fiter Setup => VapourSynth:


Open and edit VS profiles:


<DGHDRtoSDR>

Replace/Add the following item related to DGHDRtoSDR under the [Color] section:


Code:
DGHDRtoSDR =
    # Setting is changed since 2.1.0.8 after native DG Tools support is dropped.
    core.std.LoadPlugin(r"%startup_dir%Apps\Plugins\Dual\DGHDRtoSDR\DGHDRtoSDR.dll")
    clip = core.dghdrtosdr.DGHDRtoSDR(clip, mode="$select:msg:Select transfer function;Perceptual Quantizer|pq;Hybrid Log Gamma|hlg$", white=$enter_text:Enter overall brightness in integer (max 3,000 for PQ, max 10,000 for HLG)$)

You can edit the profile code by referring to the StaxRip macros document.

You're welcome.

BTW, I found a syntax error in DGHDRtoSDR VS filter core.std.LoadPlugin call in my original post.

Code:
path=
is obsolete. So I replaced it with

Code:
r
I've updated the post, so update your code in your app please.

I'm very sorry, but I think I still need your help
I exactcly followed your HowTo for registering DGIndexNV and DGSource, verified everything many times, but I always get an error message, when I want to load a Video-file. Here an Example with an MPEG2-File (this worked with Staxrip 2.1.1.2 (Beta), the last Version supporting DGIndexNV):

Code:
Script error: There is no function named 'DGSource'.
(D:\Video-Encode\Evanescence - Sweet Sacrifice_temp\Evanescence - Sweet Sacrifice_source.avs, line 1)

DGSource("D:\Video-Encode\Evanescence - Sweet Sacrifice.mpv")
My StaxRip-Folder is located here: C:\Sonstiges\StaxRip-Beta-x64. I copied the DGDecNV-Folder (including 64-Bit-Versions of DGDecodeNV.dll, DGIndexNV.exe and my Licence file) into that directory: C:\Sonstiges\StaxRip-Beta-x64\Apps\Support\


In both created demuxers, the command points to: "%startup_dir%Apps\Support\DGDecNV\DGIndexNV.exe"
I also tried: "C:\Sonstiges\StaxRip-Beta-x64\Apps\Support\DGDecNV\DGIndexNV.exe"
I filled out the rest of the fields with the informations from your Manual.


I added DGSource as a source filter for dgi (Avisynth AND Vapoursynth) and also edited the AVS and VS-Filter-Profiles as described by copying and pasting all the texts from your code boxes to the places where they belong. Afterwards I exited Staxrip, started it again, but I still get that error Message above mentioned. What did I wrong? (Please don't blame on me, I'm new to Staxrip)...

@ stax

The qaac works brilliant mate thanks for that much easier to do than to change the extension all the time.

Just a question mate I have asked this before about boosting the volume on certain vhs captures I used this command

-af dynaudnorm=p=0.94:m=70:s=22


It works when I'm doing ac3 audio but it doesn't work with qaac can the audio boost be done when converting to qaac?

thanks

It seems like you didn't include LoadPlugin in avs profiles.
See if this line is missing in DGSource = before calling DGSource("%source_file%")

Code:
LoadPlugin("%startup_dir%Apps\Support\DGDecNV\DGDecodeNV.dll")

I put this into the [Source] - Section of my AVS-Filter-Profile:

Code:
DGSource =
    # Setting is changed since 2.1.0.8 after native DG Tools support is dropped.
    LoadPlugin("%startup_dir%Apps\Support\DGDecNV\DGDecodeNV.dll")
    DGSource("%source_file%")

And I put this into the [Source] - Section of my VS-Filter-Profile:

Code:
DGSource =
    # Setting is changed since 2.1.0.8 after native DG Tools support is dropped.
    core.std.LoadPlugin(r"%startup_dir%Apps\Support\DGDecNV\DGDecodeNV.dll")
    clip = core.dgdecodenv.DGSource(r"%source_file%")

.
LoadPlugin(...) and DGSource(...) should be indented.
Otherwise, DGSource(...) is recognized as a separate item.
