StaxRip
StaxRip is a free, open-source Windows application for video and audio encoding. It provides a graphical interface for command-line tools and uses AviSynth+ or VapourSynth for video processing. Output can use MKV, MP4, and other FFmpeg-supported containers. Listed encoders include x264, x265, XviD, Rav1e, SVT-AV1, NVEnc, QSVEnc, VCEEnc, and FFmpeg. Hardware encoding is supported for AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA. Batch jobs can encode, remux, demux, and generate AviSynth or VapourSynth scripts. The application also offers audio extraction, cut and trim for MKV output, and copy or mux mode without re-encoding. Integrations include x265, mkvmerge, ffmpeg, MP4Box, eac3to, and MediaInfo.NET. PowerShell scripting, macros, custom commands, and parallel processing support automation. StaxRip is portable, has no installer, and is distributed through GitHub. Windows 7 x64 is listed as the minimum, with Windows 10 x64 recommended.
