can someone help me out with an issue, staxrip 1.7 specifically using x264 blurs the top and bottom of my encodes for some reason, I can't figure out what the issue is, grainy vids are the worse as the top and bottom few pixels in an encode are completely devoid of grain and stand out like a sore thumb... Any help is greatly appreciated, here are some pics which show the issue https://imgur.com/a/xJMmZ

@suprasaiyan123:
I can see the washed out borders.
Please save your screenshots as png in the future.
Because jpg compression adds all kind of artefacts to the picture.
Did you crop or upscale the source file?
Maybe a sample from the original and a mediainfo report?
And your settings for x264.
and, and, and.....
Without any more information nobody will/can help you.

Thanks for the reply, here is another encode with the same issue https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...VY4RBhEmqW4QDi png files as requested, the same issue is present on the top and bottom of the encode(blurred and blocky) while the rest is almost transparent. The settings on staxrip 1.7, x264, crf 15, very slow, tune grain, 10 bit, high 10, and cropped to 816 height from 1080, everything else remains default for tune grain. source bit rate 37.4mbs, encode is ~10mbs, no upscale.

I can see the distorted lines on both = original and encoded file
Did you try with different crop parameters or resizers?
And why did you crop down to 816 ?
Did you apply the black bars later on to go back to 1080?
Your stills are perfect 1920/1080 16:9 (with the black borders).
I dont think it is a encoder error.
Your x264 settings should be almost transparent at crf 15.
So we can sort this out.
Any way, this has nothing to do with StaxRip.
Maybe the avisynth or vapoursynth decoder faults on your sources.
Without a sample of your source and your exact avisynth/vapoursynth script nobody can help you.
And mediainfo report of source and encode might be beneficial.

I reinstalled staxrip and avisynth and couldn't fix the issue(happens on 99% of files, more evident on some than others.) It certainly isn't a source issue or lack of bit rate in the encode. Tried an identical encode in Megui and the encode was transparent, there was no issue of the blurring/blockiness on the top and bottom of the encode, so I still can't figure out the problem unfortunately, it's annoying as I really prefer the staxrip GUI

I found awasharp2 ported from avisynth to vaporsynth. Can someone tell me the proper syntax so it would work in staxrip?

warp.AWarpSharp2(clip clip[, int thresh=128, int blur=2, int type=0, int depth=16, int chroma=0, int[] planes=<all>, bint opt=True])

Happy new year Mark and everybody, I'm fine thanks. I'm not very exciting about coding at the moment, especially not with VB.NET/WinForms, if somebody 20 years younger wants to step in and maintain staxrip would be best because I don't encode much if anything, otherwise I will maintain it like I promised.

I jsut updated from the ancient 1.3.7.0 to the latest 1.7.0.4 version and now I'm missing the "Demux and index before creating jobs" options in the file batch menu. Is this on purpose or can I somehow manually enable this option again?

Hello,

Go to "Project" > "Templates" and select " Manual Workflow"

Then go again to "Project " > " Save as Template " > and tick the " Load template on Startup " Option, and save.


By default it is now set to "Automatic Workflow ", following the steps above and it will be back to manual mode like before

Thanks. I tried it but it still doesn't work.
I even reset the templates to make sure I didn't mess anything up but still after adding files via Files Batch option it just creates a job but doesn't automatically demux and index the files before adding the job.

Ah i think i understand now, still cannot see the screenshot you attached to your post, still pending approval,
for the batch mode it seems i can't trigger this either, using manual workflow, having the project option "Hide dialogs for demux" disabled like in the following picture :

+ still in the project settings, the demux options for video and subtitles set to "Show Dialog" but it skips the manual demuxing, not sure if it's on purpose for batch more or if I'm missing something obvious or else.

For now you select batch mode and all is automatically processed once the jobs list is started it seems, not sure how it was done in older versions.

Only Stax could answer this i guess :/

Thanks again. Unfortunately it still won't work. Whether I tick the box from your screenschot or not it still just adds a job. I also set the Demux option on audio and subitles to "All" but still nothing.

Here are 2 screenshots to show which box I mean is missing:

Old:


New:


It seems to be by design. Maybe one day when Stax has the time he can give a short answer or even release something new but until then we have to live with it. No biggie.

just curious and there are a lot of knowledgeable people here - but with Rigaya's NVencc 3.27 being released - is it as ''good as'' 3.22 and older nvidia drivers where we can use th -weightp option? thank you.

Hi Stax

Happy New Year to you too.

It's a bad thing that you're not going to continue, the support especially last year was sensational.
I would be very happy if someone would find someone to continue the project. Even if it is only so far that the newest tools and versions are installed. I still need Staxrip every day and that won't change that soon.

Hi,
haven't touched StaxRip for about 4 weeks.
I mainly use it to convert h264 1920x1080 50fps progressive material
from Camcorder quick and dirty to h264 1280x720 50fps progressive.
Using a template for NVEnc with hardware resizing.
All over sudden video playback of the encoded files is stuttering.
Using StaxRip-x64-1.7.0.4-test.
The only thing I have changed are the GPU drivers.
Didn't touch the Stax directory for weeks.
Stuttering occurs on default NVEnc settings and modified ones.
Older encodes with the same settings dont show this behaviour.
Any help for troubleshooting is really appreciated.
Trying newer/older nvidia GPU drivers for now.

Try a newer version of NVEnc, it might solve your problem
