Where Does StaxRip Store Settings?
StaxRip keeps encoding profiles, settings and job lists in app data on Windows. Folder layout and backup routine.
Last updated
StaxRip centers on an app data folder holding settings, encoder profiles and job lists. Source videos and finished encodes live in media folders outside it. The two sides serve different masters.
That split keeps profiles portable across machines with matching encoder installs. Copy the tree with the app quit and the templates return. Missing encoders after restore point to installs, not paths.
Where StaxRip stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\staxrip
Settings, encoder profiles and job lists below one root. Back up with StaxRip quit. portable builds keep settings beside the binary instead, so check there when this folder is empty.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up StaxRip?
Copy the staxrip app data folder with StaxRip quit, especially settings files and the profiles tree. Encoding profiles and UI tweaks travel together. Source videos stay in their media folders, so include those for full moves.
Where are my encoding profiles?
In profile files inside the app data tree, one per encoder template. Loading a profile rebuilds the whole filter and encoder chain. Keep one profile per source type with names matching the workflow.
