StaxRip v2.36.0

💡 The last two releases had to be rushed to prevent users creating broken Dolby Vision encodes. Because of that many related issues are fixed and improved with this release. When it comes to Dolby Vision and Cropping I highly recommend reading this updated guide, especially when you think the crop is not correct:
Encoding Dolby Vision with StaxRip using x265, NVEncC, QSVEncC, VCEEncC
Please check out the Changelog as always to know what has changed and start with fresh settings to avoid side effects.

Changelog:

StaxRip v2.35.0

⚠️ Important:
This one is an important update for everyone, who also uses sources with Dolby Vision metadata and wants to transfer them to the encode/target properly while cropping the image. As it turned out, a lot of guides and information are wrong, misleading or at least incomplete from a general point of view. It took me hours to get and verify all the information about that topic and develop a way to ensure all different types of sources are treated the right way, so the encode will be as accurate as possible.

Basically almost everything should be straight forward and handled by StaxRip, definitely a lot easier, faster and less error prone than before. Please make sure to run a new instance with new settings and jobs to avoid side effects like lost or changed settings and handling.

So what has changed regarding the Dolby Vision handling:
Currently only x265 is supported!
Currently using the Custom section to add Dolby Vision parameters by hand will interfere with the procedures, so please avoid that.
For the actual metadata to be included, you have to use Import VUI metadata - nothing new, but I wanted to mention it.
The VBV settings have to be manually set as required by the encoder. In a future version the values might get set by StaxRip, but currently you have to do it by hand. If not, the Assistant will help you.
The Auto Crop on opening feature, that was activated by enabling the Crop filter on a template, moved to the Options. Now you can decide between No auto cropping, Dolby Vision sources only, which uses the metadata to set the right crop, and On all sources which uses the normal Auto Crop feature in case no Dolby Vision metadata was found.
eac3to will be forced to extract also the Enhancement Layer and use it to extract the metadata depending your choice on Extract HDR metadata.
When dealing with Dolby Vision metadata, Resize and Cutting filters are currently not allowed. In case of a problem, the Assistant will guide you. You can avoid that by putting the code into a different filter as the Assistant only checks for the filter names. Be aware that you will probably mess up with the result!
When dealing with Dolby Vision metadata, the Crop feature is limited. In case of a problem, the Assistant will guide you. You can avoid that by putting the code into a different filter as the Assistant only checks for the Crop filter. Be aware that you will probably mess up with the result!
Special thanks to @Morku for testing some scenarios and finding some bugs. 🙏

* StaxRip is now distributed with a installer checking if .NET framework 3.5 is installed. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to make the auto updater of the old version beware of setup versions so the first setup version has to be downloaded manually
* The following external applications were updated: NeroAACEnc, DGMPEGDEC, DivX, MP4Box, XviD, x264, VirtualDub, MKVtoolnix. Furthermore more applications are hosted by myself since my webspace now has unlimited traffic
* A bug was fixed causing a crash using the 'Edit' feature in the profiles dialog
* A bug was fixed regarding the setup, settings location, local and roaming application data directory
* A bug was fixed with the turkish and maybe other locales causing a crash while encoding
* A bug was fixed causing StaxRip to auto resize the image size even when this feature was disabled
* A bug was fixed not allowing to define the escape key as shortcut in the menu editor
* The 'Deblock' filter of DGIndex was added to the profile defaults
* On a crash StaxRip now saves the active project silently instead of showing a dialog asking to save which had a recursion issue. On next startup the crashed project gets loaded automatically


1.0.0.1 (2007-05-27)

* The mkv muxer supports now text subtitles which can be reordered and edited in place and are loaded automatically
* There is now a option to define the maximum aspect ratio error

* Fixed bug with AVI source files having more than one audio stream. For such sources only the last stream was demuxed
* Updated to another silent DivX update
* Updated to x264 rev 654
* Since the local and roaming application data directories has better names under Vista the setup has now options for both
* Minor improvements regarding setup and error handling


0.9.9.9 (2007-03-31)

* Command Line was broke due to a command handling bug
* Another command handling bug causing StaxRip to crash if a menu was reused instead of reseted while updated from an old StaxRip version
* The homepage was updated from Drupal 4.7.2 to Drupal 5.1, it uses the garland theme now



0.9.9.8 (2007-03-28)

* Fixed Vista crash due to wrong use of MediaInfo (thx to paulotwo for providing the patch)
* New command 'Perform/Delete Files', new event 'Application Exit', new macros %install_dir% and %download_dir%. With all that a event command could be created to delete all zip files from the download directory on application exit as keeping them is usually pointless. The command can also be used to delete temp files after encoding
* Updated to another silent DivX update
* Fixed bug with the pause feature which pauses external processes
* Fixed bug causing non film material to be detected as film
* Fixed bug audio encoding with multiline command line didn't work

Some commands where renamed and some are new. This means command line parameters have changed so please check your command lines
* More tooltips, new option to disable tooltips, if disabled a right-click still shows a tooltip, more controls support now tooltip with right-click
* 'What's this help' (the quotation mark title bar button/quotation mark mouse pointer to show context help/tooltips) got dumped. This button shows now the help document of the dialog. Almost all new Microsoft applications do this now, StaxRip has right-click tooltips (even for main/context menus, toolbars and most other controls) and now also popup tooltips (can be disabled in the settings).
* Gradient colors are now system color bases, that means theme colors.
* All dialogs respond to the 'Escape' key for closing the dialog and F1 for showing the help (all dialogs are derived from the same base dialog now)

* The button to open a source in the main dialog shows the 'Source Files' dialog directly instead of displaying a context menu. To show the file browser directly the text box can be double clicked, the file browser shown here supports multiselect, multible files will be alphabetically ordered. Hovering the mouse over text boxes in the main dialog shows a hint that the text box can be double clicked
* Check for updates can be performed manually ('Help/Check For Updates')
* Lanczos4Resize added to the filter profiles as 'Very Sharp'
* Saving a template profile from now on flags the active project as saved so StaxRip won't any longer bother asking to save
* The title bar shows now always the name of the template used
* Auto Resze is now restricted to not resize the width higher as the source width (only applied if the source width is higher than 576). Please report a Issue if this is a limitation for you
* Improved initial directory for file browser dialogs

Automatic internet updates are now fully supported. When StaxRip starts it checks the internet if there is a new StaxRip version available. If a new version is available it downloads and installs it automatically after a user confirmation.
New setup wizard with Vista like command buttons so the user don't have to bother with a next button and got the tooltip right on the button.
New DGIndex feature to use relative file paths is now supported in that all AviSynth scripts are written to the source directory
External Applications get the message that informs about wrong versions back enabled after downloading
Anamorphic encoding: In case no auto resize is performed the resize value get adjusted to the image size actually used
Crop dialog: Opening the crop dialog now disables the crop reminder assistant tip so the tip is skipped automatically and doesn't have to be clicked away with 'next' manually
AAC uses now the new encoder by Nero
x264 and AAC are now the default codecs
x264: The 'Quality' value (--crf) of the profile 'Constant Quality' was changed from 20 to 22
Jobs: Starting encoding has now to be started with the job dialog. Pressing 'Next' creates a job and opens the job dialog so the only thing left to do is pressing 'Start' in the job dialog

The x264 switch '--no-fast-pskip' was added as 'Analysis/No Fast P Skip'.
The x264 switch '--direct' was added as 'B-Frames/Direct Mode'.
Updated x264 to revision 516 using sharktooth's build.
DivX was updated to version 6.2.2.
Opening a audio source file that has a filename containing the language will cause StaxRip to pick up the language from the filename so it's no longer necessary to set the language manually.
Opening a source file while another source file is already open will show a dialog to select a template from. Previously just a warn message appeared asking to load a template first.
The options dialog has several new options allowing to disable certain assistant instructions. For now the following reminders can be disabled: crop, filters, cut and comp. check.
When StaxRip shows a dialog for the very first time it will automatically show the help of the dialog. It's now possible to disable this behavior in the settings.
For HDTV the image size is ofter larger then the monitor screen size, in that case StaxRip shows the crop dialog maximized fitting exactly the monintor size.
The command 'Perform/Clear Jobs' was added allowing to clear the job list.
The command 'Correct/ImageSize' was added. It changes the image size to the cropped image size in case no resize filter is used. This command is always performed after the crop dialog closes.
The command 'Correct/Crop Mod' was added. It crops until crop width and height is a multiple of 4 or in case no resize filter is used 16. This command is always performed after the crop dialog closes.
The command 'Perform/Add Job' was added allowing to add a job to the job list.
The command 'Perform/Run Jobs' was added allowing to start encoding the jobs.
The quality percent value that is used in conjunction with the compressibility check defaults now to 60% for XviD and DivX and 50% for x264. StaxRip will offer to reset all video encoder settings.
StaxRip no longer uses a default project but allows to specify which template to load at startup.
The main window supports now tooltips showed with a right-click or by using the 'What's this?' menu item (command: 'Help/What's This?'). StaxRip will offer to reset the main menu to make this menu item show up.
The automatic correction of crop values uses now two sides.
The crop dialog shows now mod values and labels in the status bar.
The menu editor uses now a menu instead of a drop down to select a command. The advantage of a menu is a hierarchical presentation and tooltip context help.
Added project option 'Advanced/Dangerous/Save Cropping' to disable forcing save mod values for cropping.
Updated the guides regarding multipass vs quality mode.
The size menu in the main window has new default values allowing to set the size/bitrate based on a quality of 40/50/60/70/80% which can be useful for codecs with multipass better tuned then quality mode. StaxRip will offer to reset this setting.
The audio settings for the PlayStation Portable were improved. StaxRip will offer to reset audio related settings.
The profile menus support now a tree structure based on slash signs ('/') in the profile name. StaxRip forces to reset audio and video encoder profiles to have new profile names.
The open files dialog supports now Drag & Drop to add files.
Open the target directory after the encoding was removed because windows explorer might crash for unknown reasons.
The dialog for opening source files has various new options for batch processing.
The PayPal donation link was broke due to changes from PayPal.
The 'More Guides' help document was updated with a italian guide.
