StaxRip is a free and open source application that converts DVD and DVB captures into MPEG 4 files like xvid, divx and x264
StaxRip uses the avisynth engine in order to offer great quality video conversions with no effort at all.
In order to get some decent conversions just load your source file, select the "2pass - x264 Film Medium" and as container use the "MKV Container".
Now we can set the size of our final video. Set for example 2000 (MB).
By using the mkv container you can easily add your subtitles by clicking into the "Container configuration".
We now press next and hit the start button.
We are done!
The supported output formats are :
* Video Formats: x264, XviD, DivX
* Audio Formats: AAC, MP3, AC3, Vorbis
* Container Formats: MKV, AVI, MP4, DIVX
Please notice that StaxRip requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
