Yes, for PAL DVDs using MakeMKV has some advantages.

I'll try that, thanks, never heard of MKV before. I suppose it converts the entire VIDEO_TS folder into one MKV file (losslessly)?

Indeed, too many questions, I hope you can answer as many as you can, WHENEVER you have the time of course! (they are at a descending order of importance to me).

Also, I'd like to congratulate you for the great work you're doing with StaxRip, it's an exceptional tool for encoding my videos. Although, I'm a newbie, I prefer StaxRip over Handbrake due to its better performance, ability to trim video(with preview) and the fact that it has many filters available with VapourSynth and AviSynth.

P.S. I like that you frequently update StaxRip to latest x264, x265, NVENC, ffmpeg, etc. Don't want to rush you, but are you planning to release a new stable soon? Couldn't find your beta builds, are they stable enough for encoding without errors?

Hi,

I used StaxRip for some time with my Intel/Nvidia Setup.

As I changed my hardware to AMD Ryzen3000/Navi10 I noticed that VCEEnc seems to be outdated. Is it that Rigaya stopped development by the end of 2018? I do hope that this is not the case...

If it really is, is there another Enc that should be used with AMD CPU/GPU?

Thank you very much,

Tom

Rigaya is like Frank (stax76)
He never stops development.
Unfortunately AMD stopped development of its SDK called AMF.
Take a look at GitHub of AMD AMF and I think you will conclude the same think.
I don't think you will find a better encoder, try ffmpeg with built-in AMD encoder to see if there is something more to add to VCEEnc.

If we have 2 instances of Staxrip, is it possible to have 2 Job Lists?

At the moment we have only one Job List. I think it is important to be able to tell which instance should get which job.

Sometimes you have long encodes that you want in one instance and other short encodes that you want in a second instance.

No, it's always shared.

Makes sense to be able to separate them if it's easy to do.

I think temporary workers similar to MeGui would work instead of two seperate UIs.

I finally switched to VapourSynth to do my encodes and just found out that there is no FFT3DFilter in VS menus. I can see that it exists in the plugin directory of VS.
I used it in Avisynth alot and found it very useful.

I am using MCTemporalDenoise in VapourSynth and I get this message

Script exceeded memory limit. Consider raising cache size.

The encoding still continues and finishes. Do I have to do something? Is something wrong?

Thanks.
core.max_cache_size =xxxx

But I have no idea what I should put in xxxx and is it necessary? I prefer not to add things and not to complicate. It already encodes, does it mean that it is encoding incorrectly?

[stax76]

It's documented here:

http://www.vapoursynth.com/doc/pytho...max_cache_size

If search don't help you can ask in the VapourSynth thread, I'm not really an expert in VS because I'm retired from encoding...

I use core.max_cache_size = 8192 for my fmtc script and the warning is gone

Thanks

I'm asking this question in here because it concerns the entire pipeline which staxrip uses. It's about MCTemporalDenoise.

I'm using MCTemporalDenoise to process some HDR 10bit video. I look at MCTemporalDenoise script and it's dated 2010, 9 years ago.
Safe to say that there was no HDR back then. I just want to be sure that if I use MCTemporalDenoise inside staxrip and feed it a 10bit clip,
it will not get converted to 8bit or a lower color space inside the pipeline, right? Is it HDR 10bit compatible?

Question:

In VBRHQ

If we have checked "Constant Quality Mode" we must deactivate the other options or can have AQ checked too?

Hi Zero,

default setting for --aq is off (look here) but the AQ-option can also be enabled.

avisynth+ or HBD weren't introduced at that time afaik. you might need to look at some another denoiser

Hello, I have a problem about deinterlacing with VapourSynth in StaxRip. I want to use QTGMC without doubling the framerate. In order to do that, in Avisynth I simply add SelectEven() below QTGMC. In VapourSynth, how do I do that? I tried several combinations(SelectEven(), clip = havsfunc.SelectEven(), clip = havsfunc.SelectEven(clip)) but nothing works. How can I use it? Is there an alternative to QTGMC but one that's better quality from yadifmod?

[stax76]

I think you want SelectEvery.
