1.7 has no such issue.

I need the latest ffms2 in order to encode 4k HDR. As I have read (correct me of I'm wrong and point me in the right direction) FFvideosource is the only 1 that supports over an 8-bit pipeline?

Thanks!

This is what I'm saying windows 64bit won't let you, you extract them straight into the system32 folder it looks like it's extracting to the folder but once complete they are not in there they go to the syswow64 folder.

The solution to your problem.

Uninstall avisynth all the way. Control panel, add and remove, uninstall.

Go into regedit, search for all traces of AviSynth. Remove them.

Inside the staxrip folder there is a tools or app folder. There will be an AviSynth+ installer and python and something else. Install all those and that will solve your problem.

remove yuv420p8 from ffvideosource line to retain same bitdepth as source.

I've sorted the problem, I have teracopy installed on my pc which for some reason didn't have access to the system32 folder I removed teracopy and windows copied the dll files straight away all is working fine again....thanks for all the advise gents.

I know one of the builds had leaks, I think it's been plugged since. I don't even bother with these filters anymore, since there rarely updated anymore.

.netFramework is officially dead. Everything is heading to .netCore. With today's announcement it put the final nails in the coffin of .netFramework. .Net 5 will be pure .netCore. Which may make things a bit more difficult to with StaxRip 2.0 or older programs. I have to see what works in .netCore, if I can ever get it to show up in VS 2019.

@Revan654

It's dead but also will live forever like 30 years old win32 apps. I don't think it's a good idea to port a big app like staxrip right now, maybe it's never a good idea because I heard in a Build interview that they can only make it work with a huge rewrite running the form designer out of process making it unstable possibly for years or forever. The form designer wasn't always as stable as in recent years, there were times it had issues.

New apps should rather be Core but also should not be WinForms but rather be WPF or UWP. I'll probably wait 1-2 years before I port mpv.net, I don't see any real advantages to port it right now, too risky.

I'll try to fix a couple of issues in staxrip2 using a new repo at:

https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip

You probably can write to it because I've sent a invitation. Right now I really don't know much about git unfortunately, it's something I need to learn.

Most important thing now is watching a few Build sessions.

What filter so you recommend for 4k HDR encoding?

You can try the following ffms2 build:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...mHKYLzO3elemlC

This build supports only VapourSynth!

Thank you. I guess I'm going to have to learn VaporSynth

@Revan

I started doing a little work today. What I've changed is:

https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip/b...r/changelog.md

600 MB disk space is a lot. I was thinking to offer different downloads for people that prefer a lightweight package. It could look like so:

light AviSynth only
light VapourSynth only

full AviSynth only
full VapourSynth only

fat which includes everything

github don't seem to have a download counter like sourceforge unfortunately.

@stax76
like the different version idea
Like I mentioned earlier, I create my own scripts and encode with x265 or NVEncC, then mux to mkv
A lighter version would be awesome.

Here is a first build. I hope it don't has major bugs and I hope the download link works.

Mirrors?

[stax76]

I'll add a dropbox mirror shortly.

Today I was trying a quick encode for a friend. I needed to resize from 1080p to 720p and, as I was using NVENC H264, I opted for Cubic_Catmull resizing.

StaxRip gave an error message stating that I needed nppi64_80.dll. That file is in C:\Users\ashlar42\Documents\StaxRip\Apps\NVEnc but I got the error anyway.

If it helps, I'm on Windows 10 Pro x64, using a GTX980. StaxRip 2.0.0.0 Stable.

[stax76]

You can try copying it C:\Windows\SysWOW64
