I can add more options but in order to make it more manageable I'm refactoring a lot code which might result in new bugs and reset settings.

I have a automated test that is checking for common problems and compares my code file against the help console output of x265, nvenc, qsvenc and vceenc, theoretically staxrip is in sync 100%, there are some small issues sometimes but generally the CLI interface and documentation of most encoders are fantastic.

stax76 - how do I batch resize a folder please? I have a folder of 1080p content which I want to resize to 720p. Thank you.

I see, so the error messages:
x265.exe: unknown option -- analysis-file
x265.exe: unknown option -- refine-level
are from StaxRip. Impressive!

I just remind that:
old option name ==> new option name
--analysis-mode ==> --analysis-reuse-mode
--analysis-file ==> --analysis-reuse-file
--refine-level ==> --analysis-reuse-level

From ver. 2.4+85 up to 2.4+87 doesn't work 2-pass encoding (we are waiting for a patch).

[stax76]

I think the newest test build has everything changed correctly but I'll double check it when the patch is here.

hey, can delete temp file/folder delete the files permanently? as the temp folder can be as much as 40 G.B. mere moving to recycle bin doesnt save disk space. thanks.

I've forgotten there is already a setting under: Tools > Settings > System > Use recycle bin...

In the next build I move both to the settings as menu:

Disabled
Recycle Bin
Permanent

It's simple I believe, first you setup your empty project and then you add the source files in file batch mode, it then creates a job for every source file.

Thank you for the fix; staxrip has taken every audio i have thrown at it and processed it as expected. great stuff

Another small bug (in 1.5.0.0 at least); it seems that staxrip can't burn in .sup subtitles (don't understand why, but fair enough). In tools > advanced > hardcoded subs, the extension filter has *.sup (and others) in the list but when a .sup file is selected stax throws "only idx, srt and ass file types are supported" error dialog.

[stax76]

It could probably be more intuitive and more clear, unfortunately AviSynth has no sup filter, only VapourSynth. At the moment I cannot change it as I'm trying to implement parallel audio processing, the code quality of this area is a total mess.

Hello Frank.

A new QSVEncC v2.70 is available: (with a few new options and bug fixes)

Hi Frank
just want to thank you for your great and hard work in staxrip ، and we strongly appreciate that

thank you very mush 😍👍

Excuse me guys, might be stupid question but I am newbie to StaxRip. Is recent "unstable" version really unstable? I like cutting edge software and what to try recent version if it is "beta" and not "alpha" quality.

[burfadel]

Seems for me Staxrip is preventing the monitor to turn off after the 5 minutes I have it set to. Not standby, just monitor off. Using knlmeanscl, but was never an issue before with earlier builds. Using latest test build, but was happening with the previous one as well.

@gonca

As far as I know there isn't a AviSynth+ x64 compatible sup filter that is working in a .NET client app. There is a filter from somebody who also worked on a player but it's discontinued and don't work in StaxRip.

A new QSVEncC v2.70 is available: (with a few new options and bug fixes)
https://onedrive.live.com/?id=6BDD43...DD4375AC8933C6

I'm getting:

D3D9Device: Failed CreateDeviceEx: -2005530516.
Failed to initialize HW Device. : null pointer.
Failed to CreateHWDevice. : null pointer.
QSVEncC.exe finished with error!

2.66 is working, maybe my driver is old, in device manager it shows as: 21.20.16.4534


@ABDO

You're welcome.

Some are more stable than others, unless you want x265 2pass encoding the last test build should be fine. One issue the stable release for instance has is with mp4box muxing.

I've not changed the code since it was added. I've changed a flag now and tested it successfully afterwards (without knlmeanscl), new flag is called PowerRequestExecutionRequired, old was PowerRequestSystemRequired.

[burfadel]

After some playing around it seems to be fine now! Must be one of those little glitches in Windows because of the use of the video card with knlmeanscl.

My Haswell Core i3 works fine using latest 15.40 drivers which is 4624 (compatible with Broadwell/ Haswell)

Take a look here:

For Skylake/ Kabylake latest 15.45 drivers you can download 4678 version from here:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/pro...D-Graphics-630

[stax76]

Thanks for the link, with the new driver neither worked, after a second look at the error:

D3D9Device: Failed CreateDeviceEx: -2005530516

I remembered there are related options so I tried --d3d11 and this works.

[NikosD]

Ah OK.

I have my only GPU (iGPU) connected directly to the monitor, so D3D9 always works fine.

I think you need the latest driver/API and Kabylake for some new features of 2.70 to work, anyway.

Dear stax76,
Where did the 'fixed bitrate' option at Project Options go?
