Can I ask why does StaxRip keep complaining that my Avisynth plugins directory is missing? It is not missing and present in both Staxrip's directory and in my Program Files folder. I have also tried installing the provided installer as suggested, with the same results.
There was a bug, it happened when VapourSynth was used, I think it was fixed before the last stable version 2.0.3.0 was released.

Also, recently all my encodes have been erroring out with the following:

Code:
Video encoding using x265 3.1 failed with exit code: 1 (0x1)

The exit code might be a system error code: STATUS_WAIT_1

The exit code might be a system error code: Incorrect function.
I'm encoding with x265, and I have verified that the encoded file is fine actually. This results in me needing to manually mux the .hevc with the audio file which is annoying...
I would guess it's a x265 issue, people who use the command line, batch files or other apps might not notice this, staxrip does not tolerate error exit codes for x265 however. Please try 2.0.3.0, it uses a new x265 build compiled by Wolfberry. If the error persists post the x265 command line or better the full log file.

Hi, can confirm that the first mentioned bug is fixed with 2.0.3.0. Thanks!

As for the second part, I have tried to reduce my encoding job to the simplest possible, just feeding a file with ffms as input to a very simplified x265 setting.

I will be happy to post the full log file. To avoid cluttering everyone else, log file on following Pastebin link:

https://pastebin.com/mjCEy7QE

One thing though, I did notice that during x265 encoding there's a complain about "The system cannot find the path specified.". Not sure as to the cause of this, it might be one faulty PATH environment variable on my system, which I'm trying to narrow down at the same time.

Hi all,

I managed to resolve that error on my own.

As it turns out, it was related to cmd.exe showing "The system cannot find the path specified"

I followed the following thread and it turns out I had a rogue registry key in my command processor autorun pointing to a file that didn't exist:

https://superuser.com/questions/7273...path-specified

Deleting the autorun key solved it.

It's unlikely that anyone else will encounter the same issue as me, but I work in IT and I believe in documenting such stuff just in case it helps someone else.

Hi, I think we will need to see the full log file, use pastebin.com.

It's in the temp/work folder which you can go to with:

Tools > Folder > Working

The name is:

*_staxrip.log

Also try the log viewer:

Tools > Log File

There is also a log file history:

Tools > Folder > Log Files

Need the Logfile from Vidcoder, so i can say, why your staxrip encode is bigger. I think, Vidcoder uses other values in the settings. Use you 2pass encoding with bitrate 4 017 in Vidcoder, too?

U using 2 pass with a defined bitrate.

Quote:
x264.exe --pass 2 --bitrate 4017
Your original file has a bitrate from 3386. Change your bitrate lower, or better use a quality based encoding method, for example CRF20 and a slow preset.

I never even noticed that until I read the log file where is the option to stop it from doing 2 pass? I can't find it...thanks.

No worries found the option.

Use x265 for best quality encodes. NVENC has lower quality then x265.

Guys,

How do you PROPORTIONATELY change the aspect ratio of the image? I'm getting squeezing look of the image. I want something that will shrink the image proportionately

Thanks

if your source is a progressive video from BD/UHD, the correct AR is 1:1 (x264/x265 --sar 1:1). Also set this sar if you crop and/or resize your movie.

I'm afraid using Turing's HEVC encoder this is no longer true...

Hey ho!
Hm... in the past there was a place to download builds of the betas.
Is there one for the most current versions?

edit: Nevermind. Found it. https://staxrip.readthedocs.io/intro.html#download

Staxrip Jerky Playback video Output

I'm selecting output x264, ffmpeg mp4 with 2 passes, Preset: Medium (Default) I got output "Jerky Playback" video in result. I've downloaded Staxrip latest version and tried again with said settings but same "Jerky Playback" video output.

Appreciate any advise/suggestions for this problem.

@deepfrayder, cross post is not allowed in this forum.

You must select the staxrip version used, the staxrip here or the 2.0 revant654.
Also you must say something about the source used, better if you upload a sample.

Hi.

I'm using StaxRip 2.0.4.0 on a Windows 8.1 PC and with a CPU without AVX2 instructions. I'm getting a "System exception - Illegal Instruction" as soon as I try to enable QTGMC Medium.
The two errors in question are:
(C:\StaxRip-x64-2.0.4.0-stable\Apps\Plugins\avs\QTGMC\QTGMC.avsi,line 882)
(C:\StaxRip-x64-2.0.4.0-stable\Apps\Plugins\avs\QTGMC\QTGMC.avsi,line 639)
I already replaced "dfttest.dll" with the AVX version included in the 7z inside the folder, but obviously I'm missing something else. I'm not using StaxRip 2.0.6.0 because it doesn't include a 7z with an AVX version inside the DFTTest folder.

Any idea what the problem might be?
Thanks.
