It opens source and target dir, shouldn't that always be of interest?
No, because:

1. I will not always check out the encoded files at once. I often batch-encode many smaller files and then start working on some Office stuff for example. Windows that are opened without request are just annoying then.

2. I never use the windows explorer. Using it is a complete waste of time (and functionality) compared to programs like Total Commander IMHO.

Stax,

I kinda second Warrex on this "Opening of source & Target" pop ups,It would be nice to be able to select or deselect "Target" & "Source" pop up after encode.

Also cleaning up(removing) (all) non essential files from the source after encoding will help the Noob Factor Usage..ie folders like temporary files & the .avs ,demuxed audio & video + *_EncoderOutput. (This might just be me though,i sometimes just throw everything in one folder),then i just gotta pickout the finished encoded and delete the rest.

Cheers

Since it gets requested so often I should start to think about it. It's a difficult topic. Meanwhile maybe telling how I work helps. I'll make a directory for every source, I've defined a default target directory so my target files go always out of the source directory and when I'm done with encoding I delete the complete directory.

Stax, maybe you should think about introducing few different "layouts": "basic layout" (current StaxRip layout, or maybe even simpler), "advanced layout" (with all options ever requested), "pro layout" (with ALL (almost) possible options, requested or not, that can be changed). This includes encoder options GUIs, dialogs, etc.
It's hard, but this will solve all "i won't do this because this feature were requested only by you alone" issues.
At least, remember this idea for future SaxRip v2.0
Good idea as stated before but too much work.

Hi Stax,

I've been meaning to mention this...

Whenever I try to manually enter a new value into the "Video Bitrate" or "Size" box, I've noticed the backspace key jumps over and leaves the last remaining digit in the box, instead of removing all the digits. Can these boxes be amended to work in the same way the "Resize" boxes do?



Also, why does the "Video Bitrate" value I've entered in the box change whenever I fiddle about with the "Audio" (or "Container") parameters?


Cheers

Because video bitrate is calculated this way:
VideoBitrate = (FileSize - FilmLength*AudioBitrate - ContainerOverhead)/FilmLength. I.e. changing File Size, Audio Bitrate or Container (type and options) will change VideoBitrate. I thik...

Good request, thanks. You can use a hotfix already if you like to.

This build is for batch and x264 people worth a try btw., check out the changelog.

whoa! have completely forgotten about "project options", tanks!


now that I've seen it... BUG REPORT
  • open View / Project Options / Advanced
  • on the right windows there is a list of items (general-advanced automation-filters-assistant-dangerous)
  • normally they are all collapsed, but it is possible to open them with a click on the cross
  • BUG: if more than one is opened, when clicking on one of the options all the others will collapse, it shouldn't

are you sure this is still working, FPS should be decreased from 29.9 fps to 23.9 fps when forced film is selected ... but the DGINDEX output window still shows 29.9 fps ...

Thanks mate...

That works more logically now

You may be interested to know Kurtnoise13 has compiled a build of MP4box which currently supports the importation of one VOBsub subtitle stream within the MP4 container....

Maybe you'll be able to make use of it


Cheers

Please elaborate, in case you mean the image size changes after opening a source, that's because of the option 'Auto resize image size: 195000'.

Thanks, I'll follow the topic and add support for it when it turns out to be mature.

Stax,

I've noticed that the LAME parameters aren't working correctly. It seems that the presets, like "--preset fast standard" or "--preset fast medium" do work. But, the more custom parameters such as "-V 5 --vbr-new" don't. With that setting it will actually use what looks like "-V4". In fact, it will use "-V4" (or whatever it is using) even with other options too, like "-V 6 --vbr-new".

StaxRip had this problem but due to some feedback the problem was solved. According to the BeSweet docs '-V 5 --vbr-new' should work like it would work using lame.exe but it don't, what works instead is what StaxRip is using: '-v --vbr-new -V 5'.
