1.3 Setup

It’s important to understand that x64 and x86 can never be mixed, everything StaxRip requires and everything it uses
is x64, x86 plugins generally don’t work in x64 applications.
Windows 7 x64 is the minimum required Windows version.
.NET Framework is required in verrsion 4.8.
Another requirement is Visual C++ 2019 x64 with minimum version 14.25.28508
StaxRip has portable versions of AviSynth, VapourSynth and Python included, a setup is not required.
Hardware encoding works only on newer hardware and up to date drivers.
It’s not possible to start StaxRip from a location without full write access.

4.1 Preprocessing

4.1.1 Demuxing

StaxRip supports demuxing via MP4Box, mkvextrakt, ffmpeg, eac3to and DGMPGDec.

25
StaxRip Documentation

Supported are three different demuxing modes:

1. Everything is demuxed automatically.
2. Only audio and subtitle streams of preferred languages are automatically demuxed.
3. A dialog is shown where users can select which audio and subtitle streams should be demuxed.
The demuxing mode can be defined in the project options under the Audio and Subtitles tab.
When demuxing is disabled StaxRip will still find and include audio and subtitle tracks directly from the source file
using a demux free mode, to prevent this the Preferred Languages option has to be cleared.
Custom preprocessing tools for demuxing, re-muxing or indexing can be integrated and configured via command line
to either execute a preprocessing tool like a demuxer directly or with a scripting tool like PowerShell or Python. When
a preprocessing command line executes, all console tools are added to the path environment variable and all macros
are available as environment variables. Preprocessing can be customized in the Settings dialog under Preprocessing.

4.2 Video Processing

Video processing is supported via AviSynth and VapourSynth, both being equally well supported.
The script code of AviSynth and VapourSynth can be edited directly or easily be generated via menu selection for
which a profile system is available to integrate and customize custom filters and plugins.
With the help of a macro system script parameters can be changed with convenient GUI features like a resize slider
and menu or a cropping dialog, due to the macro system the parameters can change at any time allowing much greater
flexibility compared to a one dimensional and limiting one step after another approach.

4.2.1 Filter Profiles

StaxRip includes a large set of filter plugins and filter presets for the plugins. The presets can be selected in the filter
menu.

Custom Filter Profiles

The filter profiles editor can be used to customize the included filter profiles and to create new custom filter profiles.
The profile editor can be found at:
Filter Menu > Profiles
The filter profiles use the INI format:

[Filter Type]

Menu item name = Filter code

Cascading/sub menus:

Top level | Level 2 | Level 3 = Filter code

Multi-line code:

Menu name =
code line 1
code line 2

26 Chapter 4. Usage
 StaxRip Documentation

Many of the included presets use Interactive Macros to show a selection box.
Example:

[Field]

yadifmod2 =
LoadPlugin("D:\yadifmod2\yadifmod2.dll")
yadifmod2()

4.2.2 Opening scripts externally

Opening AviSynth and VapourSynth scripts with external apps from outside of StaxRip might require adding various
directories to the PATH environment variable.
The Apps dialog has a feature that helps adding the directories:
Apps > Manage > Tools > Path Env Var
Consider adding the following directories to PATH:
Apps\FrameServer\AviSynth
Apps\FrameServer\VapourSynth
Legacy apps like VirtualDub2 or MPC player are VFW based and therefore require AviSynth/VapourSynth being
installed. For modern apps like mpv.net it’s sufficient to add the portable AviSynth/VapourSynth folder to PATH.
Apps\Support\VC
This is a VC++ runtime All-in-One package which many apps, libraries and plugins depend on.
Apps\Support\FFTW
This a library which many AviSynth and VapourSynth plugins depend on.

4.3 Templates

StaxRip uses a template system, technically a template is a empty project file. When StaxRip starts it loads a default
template, this default template can be changed at:
Main Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Startup Template
Project options are saved in templates/projects while Tools > Settings are global settings.
A template can be saved using:
Main Menu > File > Save Project As Template

4.4 Video Encoding

Supported encoders are:

• xvid
• x264
• x265

4.3. Templates 27
StaxRip Documentation

• nvenc
• qsvenc
• vceenc
• rav1e
• SVT-AV1
• ffmpeg

4.5 Parallel Processing

4.5.1 Job Processing

The jobs list can be processed with multiple StaxRip instances in parallel. This feature is only recommended for power
users that know exactly what their hardware is capable of.

4.5.2 Chunk Encoding

StaxRip supports chunk encoding for the x265 encoder, it splits the encoding into chunks and encodes the chunks in
parallel. Only recommended for power users that know exactly what their hardware is capable of. This feature can be
configured at:
x265 dialog > Other > Chunks
Main Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Maximum number of parallel processes

4.6 Batch Processing

For Batch Processing first wanted options have to be changed, after that files can be added at:
File > Open Video File > File Batch
Not only encoding is supported but any task like remuxing, demuxing or AviSynth/VapourSynth script generation, this
can be achieved by disabling unwanted features, almost every feature can be disabled:
• The video encoder profiles have a Copy/Mux profile.
• The muxer profiles have a No Muxing profile.
• The audio profiles have a Copy/Mux and a No Audio profile.
• Indexing can be disabled by installing LAV Filters and by enabling the DSS2 source filter.
• Audio and subtitle demuxing can be disabled in the Options dialog.

4.7 Command Engine

StaxRip uses a command engine for the following features:

• StaxRips command line interface
• StaxRips configurable main menu and various other menus

28 Chapter 4. Usage
 StaxRip Documentation

• StaxRips Event Command Feature (Main Menu > Tools > Advanced > Event Commands)
The Event Command feature allows to run commands on defined events under defined conditions.

PowerShell Scripting

StaxRip can be automated via PowerShell scripting.

9.1 Script Folder

The Script folder is located at <settings>\Scripts and can be opened from the main menu under Tools >
Scripts > Open Script Folder.
Scripts located in this folder are not loaded automatically but rather can be invoked from the main menu under Tools
> Scripts.

9.2 Auto Load Folder

Scripts located under <settings>\Scripts\Auto Load are loaded on startup.

A second startup folder is <startup>\Apps\Scripts, this folder should only be used by StaxRip maintainers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Contents

• Frequently Asked Questions

– How can I encode with a fixed bitrate?
– How can I batch encode with a fixed bitrate?
– Why is encoding with 2 pass using a fixed bitrate not recommended?
– Why don’t settings persist?
– How can I use custom AviSynth and VapourSynth plugins?
– How can I use custom AviSynth scripts?
– Why does AviSynth portable mode require soft links?
– Where can I find the log file?

10.1 How can I encode with a fixed bitrate?

In the video encoder config dialog go to the Basic tab and choose a fixed bitrate mode like 2 pass.
At the bottom of the video encoder config dialog there is a drop down menu where a profile can be saved.

10.2 How can I batch encode with a fixed bitrate?

StaxRip remembers if the file size or bitrate was edited last so if you edit the bitrate last it will encode using a fixed
bitrate.

55
StaxRip Documentation

10.3 Why is encoding with 2 pass using a fixed bitrate not recom-
mended?

Sources can vary greatly in complexity depending on the nature of the source, there still might be situations where
fixed bitrates are useful.

10.4 Why don’t settings persist?

StaxRip loads a default template on startup, templates can be saved with:

Main Menu > File > Save Project As Template
Project options are per Template/Project/Job and settings are global.

10.5 How can I use custom AviSynth and VapourSynth plugins?

Custom plugins can either be loaded manually using LoadPlugin():

http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Plugins
Or they can be loaded automatically using the plugin auto load folder.
This folder can be opened in StaxRip with:
Main Menu > Tools > Folders > Plugins
StaxRip is only available for x64 and therefore only x64 plugins can be used.
The AviSynth script can be edited manually using the code editor (Filters > Edit Code) or the filters menu can be
configured using the filter profile editor (Filters > Profiles).

10.6 How can I use custom AviSynth scripts?

Custom scripts can either be loaded manually using Import():

http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Import
Or they can be loaded automatically using the plugin auto load folder.
This folder can be opened in StaxRip with:
Main Menu > Tools > Folders > Plugins
The AviSynth script can be edited manually using the code editor (Filters > Edit Code) or the filters menu can be
configured using the filter profile editor (Filters > Profiles).

10.7 Why does AviSynth portable mode require soft links?

StaxRip has portable mode enabled by default because many users have incompatible AviSynth versions installed,
portable mode can be disabled in the settings, if AviSynth is installed and portable mode is disabled then soft links are
not necessary.

56 Chapter 10. Frequently Asked Questions

 StaxRip Documentation

If AviSynth is installed and portable mode should be used instead of the installed version then it can only be achieved
with soft links because there is no way to tell a tool from where it should load AviSynth, default DLL loading of the
OS applies and that includes the system folder where AviSynth is installed. A tool needs an implementation to use a
custom/portable path and right now not all tools have such an implementation.
If AviSynth is not installed then only ffmpeg needs a soft link because ffmpeg blocks default DLL loading of the OS
which searches in the PATH environment variable which StaxRip sets in portable mode.

10.8 Where can I find the log file?

The StaxRip log file ends with _staxrip.log and can be found in the temp folder, by default the temp folder is located
next to the source file.
If a project is re-opened from the Recent menu, then the log file can be opened from the main menu:
File > Recent Projects
Tools > Log File (F7)
The log file history can be found at:
Tools > Folders > Log Files
