Hi Patman, I just noticed there are no ffmeg builds in your repository... is there a problem (hope not!!)

I have some problems with different libs. Compiling errors...

[44vince44]

I hope you'll have them sorted out ! if you need testers, i'm here ;-))))

[Patman]

Some tools have been updated. x265 hopefully this weekend with vapoursynth support.

[44vince44]

Thanks very much Patman!! I'l give them a try a bit later!

[44vince44]

@Patman,This is working very well. Thanks !!!

Of course for FFMPEG to work correctly, either Avisynth must be installed on the system, or you must create a soft link for Avisynth.

After summer, I'll make feature requests at all avs reading tools used by staxrip to allow a custom avisynth path via command line option.

These are the tools:

ffmpeg, x264, x265, NVEnc, QSVEnc, VCEEnc

[44vince44]

also Xvid_encraw ;-)

I hope the authors will cooperate!

[44vince44]

never mind, Xvid_encraw is not required since there is ffmpeg>xvid

Hello, this is a small thing, but StaxRip 2.1.3.0 after May Update incorrectly shows the usage of gpu:



NVEnc UHD encoding, Win10 version 2004, NVEnc 5.03, Nvidia driver 451.48

how i can transfer pending jobs from a previous version of staxrip to the latest one? in the past, i just copied the jobs.bat file to the new version! but in the last version, that didn't work! is there is any option to batch transfer the .srip files from the temp folder? i can add pending jobs from the .srip file, but one by one? i use batch for files that don't need any adjustments, but there are some videos that needs adjustments like cropping or replacing audio files that i added to the jobs list to process at later time! how i can transfer the job list to the newest version of staxrip? thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hello, what is the best setting for QAAC sound? That mean, that i have the best filesize and the best audiosound.
Thx

[44vince44]

Mister XY it depends on what material you have as source (quality and type).
If audio is not very important (only speech and some backing music), q=45 is ok. Otherwise you should use above q=70.

[Mister XY]

I mean 2.0 stereo sound or 5.1 Dolby Sound. The Input is in most case dts.

hi all, I'm encountering this error with StaxRip 2.1.3.7 beta and don't know what it means.

Error Audio encoding 1 (2.1.3.7)

It's unclear what the exit code means, in case it's a Windows system error then it possibly means:

is it a bug or an error with my filename being too long? thank you.

[44vince44]

No it's not a problem with filename.
65902619/66242587 samples processed in 0:01.641 => the total number of samples couldn't be processed so mo output (no resulting file)
Something is wrong with the intermediate streams.

Did you abort previously the processing? try deleting the flac file in the temporary folder and do the processing again.

[craigpro]

thanks for the reply 44vince44 - yeah I had manually deleted all files in the temp processing folder, same thing every time. One trick I've found which most of the time works is use mkvtoolnix gui and just process the file to a temp directory, if there any issues with headers etc. that usually seems to fix it.

I might try splitting the audio and video and then remuxing them - file plays fine but obviously there is an error in every episode from the original ripping.

[44vince44]

I had this every once in a while with some mp4 files. And remuxing with mkvtoolnix did fix the problem. I never new exactly what caused the problem...
What I did is convert all the suspicious files to mkv, then process the mkvs in staxrip.
If there is too many files, I can show you how to use a command line to convert all files of a folder to mkvs using mkvmerge (which is provided with mkvtoolnix)


Here is a suggestion you can try (i'll try it when i bump into one of those files): try to disable mp4box:
in SETTINGS > Preprocessing, just untick mp4box and see if it works. (and delete the project temp before retry)

[almanteka]

why the best feature of staxrip disappeared a long time ago and nothing was done to repair the issue, if any? i'm talking about the option of "Demux & Index before creating jobs" for the file batch! i'm using older versions of staxrip just to continue to use that feature & updating the apps manually! there is no way to add multiple files to the jobs list and fine tune some files after adding them to the list because the files are not demuxed automatically. the new way of adding files by batch don't let me fine tune any of the files on the list if it's not added manually one by one. not even the gui is populated with the file when you load them from list!!! so, why is this happened? if the option is never to return, why is there is no way to demux the file beforehand if i load it from the jobs list so i can fine tune it?

Thx for the Thread

But i have a problem with 3.1 Sound.
If i use QAAC, than i get this error

[flac @ 000001fd4897c840] Channel layout not supported by Flac, output stream will have incorrect channel layout.

If i use FFMPEG, than i have a correct 3.1 sound layout.
