New QSVEnc v3.08

In order to pass options to the audio encoder.
Example: - audio - codec aac: aac_coder = twoloop

so that profiles can be specified during speech encoding. (- audio-profile)

· Added option to specify tier of HEVC. (- tier)

· Slightly reduced memory usage at high bit rate.

· Improved to be incomplete frame rate in case of variable frame rate and so on.

· Improved synchronization when audio starts first.



New NVEnc v4.09

Now --audio-codec can have option to audio encoders.
Example: --audio-codec aac:aac_coder=twoloop

Slightly reduce memory usage, especially encoding with high bitrate.

Add option to add padding to videos. (--vpp-pad)

Improve frame rate detection.

Improve avsync, especially when video has delay.

Add option to specify audio profile, but most of the time it is unnecessary. ( --audio-profile )

I was trying out this program but couldn't even successfully load a vapoursynth script. It always returns the error "core is not defined". I searched and found the same complain 2 years ago on the project page. I guess it hasn't been fix for 2 years.

I investigated myself and found that every time I load a vpy script, it will auto create a temp folder and duplicated my script to a temp vpy script with some lines added on the top and the program will run that temp script instead. And that's where the problem came from. From the added lines, there's a few calls to core.std but on top of those calls there is no declaration of the vs object or the core...that's why the "core is not defined" error. This is just so silly.

Hope everything is fine for you Frank regarding StaxRip and in general.

Many, many thanks for your time and effort, fixing bugs, replying posts and fulfilling requests.

You were acting as a good paradigm of a developer for the rest to follow.

Have fun whatever you do!

Hi Stax,

Sad to hear that, still had a tiny hope you will come back to it one of those days.

Thanks a lot for this fantastic tool, thanks for all the help and support you provided, thanks for answering my too numerous questions or requests, thanks for all the things you made me learn while messing with Staxrip, like powershell scripting that i use more often now.

Staxrip is a great tool with a lot of customizations possible, it's really not common nowadays to see such program versatility and open possibilities for the end user to customize it to it's needs or even add some stuff to it while not being it's primary usage, this tool is really outstanding for that.

A big thank you for all Stax, wish you the best for whatever you will do in the future.

Frank, I feel deep regret that you leave us. But I fully understand you.
As time goes on, I have less and less time to deal with my favorite things.
You will remain in my heart with your responsiveness and altruism.
Thank you for everything you did for us!

nooooooooooooooo

So sorry to see you go Stax! Any chance you'll be working with the new dBpoweramp Video Converter? You'd bring a lot of experience to the table with them

I'd like to thank you for the work you put in this project, I have been a longtime user... your work is and was very much appreciated!
IMHO, the GUI is very nice and suits my needs as an educated user (though no pro) in most ways, so thanks again!

you can easily and without fear of breaking something replace the x264 codec manually by yourself. I've done this a few times already to be up to date with newer encoder versions.
to do so, just replace the executeable located in 'path-to-StaxRip\Apps\x264'. you have to rename your new version to 'x264.exe' or 'x264-10bit.exe', depending on which version you are using (if you don't know which one, replace both, though you prolly are using the more common 'normal' 8-bit version then).
also, make sure to download and use the 64-bit version of x264, unless you are still using an older version of StaxRip with 32-bit support.
there are many places to get a newer version of x264, e.g. here:
http://download.videolan.org/pub/vid...inaries/win64/

for cosmetic reasons, you also may want to edit the version textfile located in 'path-to-StaxRip\Apps' scroll down untill you see 'x264' there on the left and edit the version number on the right to '0.155.2901 8-Bit'. otherwise, the encoding window will still display the older version number IIRC.

@Digga : you can edit the version directly from Staxrip ,
go to tools > apps > manage
on the top left in the search field enter x264, select/highlight it on the list of results,
then on top of this window see "version", click on it, enter new version in the little popup and done.

Same for easily locating one .exe or plugin, just need to click on "Explore" at the top after selecting it on the list

Enjoy your retirement Frank. It's one of the best jobs I ever had. Unlike me, I hope your retirement does not bring on a sense of boredom.

Revan654, are you still on the list? If so, do you plan to move forward, beyond the 1.8.2.0 release?

Hello.

Your last post here is three weeks ago.

Is everything OK with StaxRip support ?

Are you going to keep on developing on this project ?

You seemed very determined in the beginning and full of energy.

I hope everything is fine.

New NVEncC v4.10

Now progress info shown by NVEncC will consider --trim option.

Avoid freeze with some environments which has OpenCL API causing crush.

Would you provide some additional information. For instance, please specify the filters and their order. Are you able to successfully preview the video? Are you using VapourSynth or AVS?

FYI, I recently had trouble with almost every encode that used SMDegrain. I wasn't able to determine the exact source. There were newer versions of AviAynth+ and masktool2. Updating both of those resolved the error and I can encode again. If you are using AVS please see if you have latest AviAynth+. Also check the revision(s) of your filters.

Problem

Hello,

I tried to encode a video with Staxrip using NVEnc on my laptop that uses Intel HD 630/NVidia GTX 1070 optimus. It does not work because I always get an error message. Also Intel hardware encoding (Intel H264/H265) is not working. Is there a problem that the computer uses two GPUs at the same time?

On my desktop with a single GTX 1050Ti it works.
