StaxRip

[jimbobub]

Staxrip, Hybrid and Ripbot264 all have audio sync being off. Handbrake, Clever ffmpeg, avidemux and tmpgenc all have good audio sync. I'm converting a home video from dvd that is, according to mediainfo, 29.97 interlaced tff. h264 is the encoder output. I've tried encoding the audio to ac3 and other times I tried passthrough. With various staxrip decoders some show the source file as 29.97 and others 29.918. My goal is to be able to use qtgmc deinterlacer. I tried yadif bob as well with no luck with proper a/v sync. Is there a setting that I am missing that could help? Thanks.

You may report the sourcefilters that assume the wrong fps,
and for DVD decoding I suggest DG's MPEG2Source or DGSource (indexing comes first)
http://avisynth.nl/index.php/DGDecode
http://avisynth.nl/index.php/DGDecNV
and you may feed a Avisynth Script to Staxrip ending with Assumefps("ntsc_video")

[jimbobub]

Thanks for you response. I'm an intermediate, just barely, when it comes to playing around with stuff such as with the code editor. I'm willing to try but will need some help if you or others are willing. I have staxrip 2.42.2. I did see mpeg2source listed in the source options and I did try that decoder before and it did list the source frame rate correctly but after encoding to mp4, the audio is out of sync. I did not see dgsource listed in source decoders. Regarding dgdecode and dgdecnv, I do not know how to add them to staxrip if not already in there. If they are how to adjust the settings?

[jimbobub]

To be more exact on what I am trying to do. I have home videos that were transferred from vhs to dvd. I want to convert the dvd mpegs (29.97 interlaced tff) to mp4 bluray (59.94 progressive). Using handbrake for example I was able to do all this with no problem. I used yadif bob for a nice smooth motion video and sync was fine. Handbrake however has no color, contrast and brightness adjustments. On the original vhs videos these are a bit too high. What I like about staxrip is qtgmc and the color, contrast and brightness adjustments.

You may upload a sample.

iam just use Staxrip recently, but now i want to try external filters like sharpening, so can somebody gave me the tutorial to use external filters?

[Emulgator]

You would feed an AviSynth script to Staxrip.
Any tutorial comes with the script or can be taken from

I got an error like this when use anti-aliasing script.

And how to automatically not include subtitle and attachment if the video we want to encode already have that?

[Emulgator]

core.std.LoadPlugin(r"L:\Fansub\StaxRip-v2.44.0-x64\Apps\Plugins\VS\nnedi3\NNEDI3CL.dll", altsearchpath=True)
the r in Front is suspicious to me. Does it belong there ? Remove it. Reload.
Goto L:\Fansub\StaxRip-v2.44.0-x64\Apps\Plugins\VS\nnedi3\NNEDI3CL.dll
Is NNEDI3CL.dll there ? If yes, report to the StaxRip developers.

Sub/Attach muxing settings: Staxrip implements these project-based and assumes these as default=yes, keep them
You just untick these:
Project -> Options -> Subtitles -> Default Subtitle -> None
Project -> Options -> Attachments -> Add Attachments to Muxing -> untick

It's python "raw string literal" that basically just saves the need for escaping (i.e. you can see the single backslash is used instead of double backslash you would normally need)

The template and start up option is likely what you want. Although I'm not sure if the container options is saved with template, haven't used staxrip for quite a while.

r -> python "raw string literal"

Ah, ok.

Happy New Year to all
In the X264 encoder section (StaxRip 2.44.1) I can't get the commands to hide the items displayed in mediainfo “Witing library and Encoding setting”.
Any ideas?
Thanks

There's no such setting in StaxRip. You can remove that information with ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c copy -bitexact -map_metadata -1 -vbsf filter_units=remove_types=6 output.mkv

Can I include the command line in the Custom section?

Has anyone a solution for this, this is every time during x265 Encode.
Have sync issues with the DV layer, can't fix this error.

Thank you very much
It was what I was looking for, I will keep it carefully.

If you have a new x264.exe you can send it to me and i will modify the file .

Ok, here the funny result. Using an Old StaxRip Version (v2.3.1) with most identcal settings:
(I can't use 2.44 templates with 2.3.1, so i rebuild it for 2.3.1)
