So I did more tests and it turns out it's the video player. I use PotPlayer to watch and take snapshots and it seems PotPlayer shows 10bit video a little different than 8bit video. Slightly brighter and more yellow.

I used VLC to take snapshots and it seems VLC shows more accurate colors. Snapshots taking with VLC from 8bit and 10bit show the same colors.

What other software do you recommend for taking accurate snapshots from videos?

Bluray encoded with 10bit is, imho, more saturated colors, because max-luma is 1023 and not 255 as 8bit.

MPC-HC/LAV/madVR or mpv.

Next mpv.net to be released this weekend has config editor support for all of mpv's screenshot settings.

I've found that MPC-BE+MadVR gives the best overall results for 10bit->8bit conversion for watching HDR on an SDR display.

Anyone built a Ryzen 3xxx machine yet like 3900X? Curious how staxrip performs on intel i9-9900k vs AMD 3900X. All the benchmark guys always use handbrake and I assume the results would be similar for staxrip. Just curious if anyone's built a new ryzen machine and tested or not.

Some options that might help with benchmarks are:

x265 > Other > Decoder

and:

x265 > Other > Piping Tool

its been a while since aq 4 and hme was added in x265
mediainfo, mkvtoolnix and many avs plug-ins were updated.
maybe stax needs an update for it.
thanks.

Tried the latest version. I've re-extracted a few times, regardless if I run the .exe from the 4.7 or 4.8 I get this same error.

DirectoryNotFoundException (2.0.2.4)

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Encoding Tools\Staxrip.2.0.2.4.x64\v4.8\Apps\Versions.txt'.

EDIT
Apparently you just take the contents from 4.8 and bring it into the root folder and it runs perfectly! My apologies.

Where can I get the correct FFMS2 version? It's saying the latest version here isn't supported? (https://github.com/FFMS/ffms2)

So the program is calling for FFMS2 version 2.3.0 but that doesn't exists? I can't find it on google/github anywhere? The only version I can find is 2.23.1 and it was made a good while ago. What am I missing here?

I'm using staxrip maybe three times a year, it's really sad.

mpv.net is my new favorite project, using it every day, it's been great fun working on it.

Anyway, I'm trying not to code some days and then I think I can write a little code for staxrip and upload an executable, but no tools, Revan does manage that. It would probably be possible to manage this together but it would need some server technique and it's not the kind of stuff I know much about.

no problem. i understand.

i update avs/vs plug-ins, and other integrated tools manually, no problem in that. just sometimes i make mistakes if some x265 options are not in GUI. I'll try to be more careful with that.

I'm trying to convert an x264 file to x265 and downsampling audio from dts to aac. It keeps crashing with STATUS_WAIT_1 on audio.

What am I doing wrong?

Violating forum rule 6 perhaps?

Latest version of StaxRip. I notice that after you index a source (specifically 4K with ffvidesource) it minimizes StaxRip and does something in the background for about 5 to 10 minutes before it comes back up and you are able to make changes with the UI etc.

However, on the last release it didn't seem to do this.

I can do the 9900k part for you. I don't have a 3900 build though.

P.S. To the people wanting new x265 features go to msystem.waw.pl/x265/ and get the latest VS 2019 AVX2 under the stable branch (use the ~15MB exe it contains 8+10+12 bit) and replace the old x265 in [StaxRip Folder]\Apps\Encoders\x265

Hello Frank.

Are there two versions maintained by you and Revan654 or just one and where can someone find it/them ?

I can see a numbering of latest official build of 2.0.2.4 here https://github.com/Revan654/staxrip/...es/tag/2.0.2.4 but the same version has also a different number of 2.0.0.30 here https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Reva...taxrip/history

The latest build is 2.0.0.33 here https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Reva...0900/artifacts

Thanks.

I'd like to know what's the preferred way of rotating a video using StaxRip (2.0.2.4). My sources come from Ipads and Android phones and sometimes are long enough for me to be willing to use GPU encoding so I use StaxRip for that. But sometimes the sources have improper rotation.
No immediately helpful information about this was found in the help, site or this thread. Or maybe I'm just blind...

@NikosD

You have to ask Revan about his builds, Revan is now project lead.

Ok. Do you have any builds on your own, regarding StaxRip and where can I find them ?

Thanks.

I don't have own new builds. I just made a commit, let's see if it appears in Revan's auto build pipeline.
