StaxRip
Video encoding GUI for Windows
StaxRip is a powerful, open-source video and audio encoding GUI for Windows that orchestrates industry-standard console tools (such as x265, FFmpeg, mkvmerge) and frame-server systems (like AviSynth+ or VapourSynth) to allow users to transcode, mux, remux, or process media files with fine-grained control. It is not a “one-click” encoder; instead, it grants the user deep control over encoding settings, filtering, resizing, cropping, subtitles, audio processing, container formats, and more — making it a tool of choice for videophiles, enthusiasts, and anyone needing high-quality and customized media output. Because StaxRip automates the invocation of complex command-line tools via a GUI, it lowers the barrier for less technical users while offering advanced configuration for experts. The tool supports batch processing, hardware acceleration (where supported), scripting, and automation through PowerShell or built-in project templates, making it versatile for single-file conversions.
