Thanks, you are a life saver.

I wish something like LSMASHVideoSource would be available for mkv, is it impossible to build, absolutely not!

No worries then, i don't use it much as source myself as it failed to read some files often in the past and now almost doing all in manual mode for sources, was just wondering if it was on purpose or not, no need to bother with this then

Thank you.

Guys,

I noticed that most bluray, the audio is really low. Trying to increase the 'Gain" does very little. Can you recommend a good setting?

You use ffmpeg? Frank use the "volumedetect" filter option in his script but there are also "loudnorm" and "dynaudnorm" as filter option.

Where do I find this? How?

Is it possible to encode from HDR file to HDR with staxrip? How? When I encode an HDR file in staxrip the tag is not passed and when I play the staxrip encoded file with TV, it does not trigger HDR.

ffmpeg manual. To use this filters write -af loudnorm or -af dynaudnorm as custom switch.

Thanks Patman.

Stax, maybe you can include this option in the UI of staxrip?

mcjordan · 26th September 2017, 18:12

Update:
NVEnc 3.2.3
* fix vpp-afs returning error, when last frame was dropped.

Hi Frank,
which script do you use for audio normalization with ffmpeg?

Atlantis · 26th September 2017, 18:24

No one knows? Can you encode HDR?

In Staxrip 1.7, the default audio is now set to Opus. What is this codec and is it really better and more compatible with devices than AAC?

no,
not as compatible as aac,
better only in cases of really low bitrates, or voice communication

So it's weird that it is set as default in Staxrip 1.7 because we are not encoding voice communications.

opus 96kbps stereo has same quality as aac 115kbps stereo, similar saving of nearly 20% bandwidth also for higher number of channels, so obviously better bang for the buck

NikosD · 27th September 2017, 19:52

+1 by me that AAC could still be the default setting for audio encoding.

Opus is too new and too incompatible with a huge range of devices.

Atlantis · 27th September 2017, 21:53

Also they changed the Quality settings a version back. Originally the CRF was 22. Now it's 20. Same for audio. Audio was at 0.35, now it's 0.40.

u can always change that, and use qaac encoder, tvbr @ q91

Hi Stax.

I really, really love your tool! *thumbsup*
Super comfortable and I love that integrated video comparison tool!!

What I'm missing somehow during daily reencoding is something unorthodox:
That would be some batch tool to make out videos which could be far better compressed by i.e. reencoding them with x265 and some user given settings.
I know that there is a compressibility check available for two-pass encodings but it's a hassle to use for this purpose as it's not batch-friendly.

After all I'm missing some tool that would go over a list of videos, do a rather quick compression check and give me the candidates with the best compression gain.

Been already looking for some tool like that... but I guess it's too special? Or too nonsense?

But usually I start a reencoding... and already during the first very few percent I see whether it makes sense to go on or not.
From my observations the bitrate changes very rarely after the encoder passed the logos at the beginning.
