Thanks for this . For me, the best AVS based encoding GUI.

Excellent!

I'll try it using it with QSVEncC.

Get a good start for your new project.

Thank you all for the path of the latest version.

With my Skylake Core i5 6500, Win 10 x64 iGPU v6326, it seems that QSVEnc HW decoding doesn't work for any source codec (MPEG2, VC-1, H.264)

QSVEnc complains regarding missing DLL files which they are all present inside the app's folder.

Regarding this issue, I maybe have to check it out with rigaya.

Also when I select "Execute command" from the drop down menu inside StaxRip, depending of the path of the file on the disk, the CLI app crashes.

But the same process during normal dialogue of the StaxRip app works fine.

I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the CLI app or of the GUI.

rigaya has a habit of leaving out import dll files, it happened with the last two releases too. My coding PC doesn't have intel encoder support so I have no way to test the exe file.

Apologies, would you mind explaining the simplest approach to doing HDR to SDR using Staxrip? New to HDR content and it would be appreciated.

Simple ha, HDR is very complex. There are help files for most filters.

Apps -> Manage -> Avisynth -> DGTonemap -> Help

Do I need to copy dlls to a specific system directory to run NVEnc?

Hi.

Here's my system information and error log:

-------------------------- System Environment --------------------------

StaxRip : 2.0.0.0
Windows : Windows 10 Home 1803
Language : English (United States)
CPU : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7300HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz
GPU : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 with Max-Q Design, Intel(R) HD Graphics 630
Memory : 8 GB
Resolution : 2560 x 1080
DPI : 120

...

---------------- Error Video encoding using NVEnc 4.20 ----------------

Video encoding using NVEnc 4.20 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.


------------------- Video encoding using NVEnc 4.20 -------------------

avcuvid: avcodec: failed to load dlls.
avcuvid: please make sure "avcodec-58.dll", "avformat-58.dll",

End: 10:45:15 PM

...

The dll files are put in the same folder where NVEncC64.exe is.

This may sound like a very basic question but what extra steps do I need to take to avoid this error? I just copied the files in the released 7z file to my own specific folder and that was it. For a reference, I have no problem encoding a file using x264 or x265.


BTW, I run into the same 'missing dll files' error when I try to use qaac for audio encoding.

The Creator of NVEnc has a Habit of leaving out required dll files. Just download the Shared version of FFMPEG and replaced all the dll with those.

I don't have a Nvidia Card on this PC so I can't test if give Encoder works with a given Card.

I think I figured out the cause of the NVEnc error. It happens only when I choose 'NVEnc Cuda' as a decoder. 'NVEnc Native' and 'AviSynth/VapourSynth' do not cause any errors, although 'AviSynth/VapourSynth' imposes much more work load on CPU than 'NVEnc Native' does, which is quite natural considering the properties of the scripts.

BTW, I looked up the qaac issue on your GitHub site, and found your solution on the issue track. I applied it and the issue is fixed. Thank you very much.

Avisynth & VapourSynth means CPU decoding.
NVEnc native means HW DXVA2 decoding, which means < 5% CPU usage.

Forgive my noobishness, but just starting to get into 4k encoding. From your description (HDR Metadata Injectors), does that mean if I encode using nvenc h.265 and output to mkv, it can retain the HDR10 metadata tag? I've been messing around with the main version of StaxRip and the files I've been producing contain the correct color info, such as color primaries, maximum content light level, etc. But the HDR10 tag is missing.

It means it adds the remaining Metadata for HDR10 to be fully up to Spec to the latest HDR10 standards.

If the HDR10 is missing your missing something in the basic Encoding settings in x265. My guess is the no-open-gop.

FYI 4K != HDR.

x265 VUI Transfer Options: https://x265.readthedocs.io/en/defau...ption-transfer

This is why VUI Import Keeps Breaking:




MediaInfo keeps changing the Names to Names that doesn't even exist from the Transfer list. There not Such Transfer called HLG, It's called arib-std-b67, At lease use the Proper Name. This forces me to build even more functions on top other other functions that wouldn't even be needed if they just use the correct names.

Plus half the Metadata is missing from HLG file.

Atlease FFProbe Got it Right: Stream #0:0[0x1c9]: Video: hevc (Main 10) ([36][0][0][0] / 0x0024), yuv420p10le(tv, bt2020nc/bt2020/arib-std-b67)
