I'm getting the error "avs2avi.exe has stopped working" with VC-1 sources.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled ffdshow, AviSynth and Haali Media Splitter with a reboot in between and reinstalled Ripbot264.

ffdshow video decoder is set to wmv9 for VC-1.

I'm running Windows 10 Pro 64bit with Windows Media Player 12.

Can anyone help? Thanks.

I always have those issues with VC1 unless I set the decoder to intel quicksync in ffdshow. Solves all my problems.

Hi All. Noob to Ripbot, trying to take advantage of the Distributed Encoding feature.
So far I’ve been unable to get an encode to continue past the window with the text at the bottom declaring “Please Wait… Copying tools to shared folder…” Shortly after this window appears, it drops back to the main window. The last line in the log file says:
Error: The file 'D:\Temp\RipBot264temp\video.265' could not be opened for reading: open file error.
I’ve searched the forum and google and have come across a couple posts that raise the same issue with the video.264 file. Taking into account the RipBot264 Distributed Encoding Tutorial and the few posts I’ve found, I’ve:
• Setup RipBot264 to run as Administrator
• Set the necessary flags in RipBot264.ini
• Set Temp to D:\TEMP [only folder designation that seems to work]
• Shared the D:\TEMP\RIPBOT264TEMP directory and confirmed can be accessed from other Server computers on the same network
Despite the above, I still get the error.
Greatly appreciate any assistance on resolving this

How? My VC-1 decoder choices for ffdshow are 'libavcodec' or 'wmv9'.

Record your desktop with fraps or similar software and upload on youtube or somewhere. This will help me to understand what is happening on your pc.

Are you sure that your movie has been correctly decrypted? Can you play that playlist 00001 in MPC-HC?
Can you also show me mediainfo reports of 00001.m2ts and 00002.m2ts ?

I always have those issues with VC1 unless I set the decoder to intel quicksync in ffdshow. Solves all my problems.

I reinstalled ffdshow using a modified version that allowed me to pick Intel's QuickSync for VC-1 decoding and I enabled my CPU's integrated graphics via BIOS configuration. VC-1 encoding is now working. Thank you, fatpizza.

It seems each time I open Ripbot264, the ffdshow encoder for VC-1 changes back to 'wmv9'. I have to change it to QuickSync after opening Ripbot264 when dealing with VC-1.

I have to do it every time I reboot which is annoying. But at least it works. :)

Movie plays fine when decrypted when double clicking on index.bdmv or double clicking on 00001.m2ts , I decrypted it it twice just in case.

@Grafox
This is what I suspected.
Audio 1 in first file is PCM while in second file is AC-3.

I'm afraid you will have to manually separate those streams in some Eac3toGUI or in MKVToolnix.

[wraith]

Hi. I've saved a couple videos [due to Fraps 30sec limitation] to here: https://1drv.ms/f/s!Aszu1bOAzXDajgMAgzV9w6eDDWjK.

The first video is the initial setup [copy video to temp directory etc]. The second video is copy the shared files etc. It "crashes out" just after the video stops

Do not press manually ON button. (I'm even surprised that you are actually able to do that because on my machine it is impossible). Encoding client will connect with specified servers automatically.

Downloaded the above file into the RipBot directory. The program continues to crashes out. No EncodingClient_crash_message.txt can be found in either the job1 folder or the Ripbot folder. Should I be looking somewhere else?

If it helps, the contents of job1_log.txt follows:

Incidentally, the first file I tried was a small 2Gb H265 video. I ripped a small 300Mb+ file using MakeMKV and tried that. Still the same issue.

Hey Atak.
Drag and Drop into RipBot window would be nice. Any plans for that?

Use this version of EncodingClient.exe (http://www.mediafire.com/download/xy66s7t686az95g/EncodingClient.exe) and show me error message in EncodingClient_crash_message.txt

Hi Atak,
Tried the EncodingClient provided. Still crashed and no .txt file was created. Not that I could find in the job1 or Ripbot folder.

I created a more detailed reply but this has not made it to the forum, for some reason. I can only assume it's been flagged for review [I tried to re-create the post, via copy and paste, and I was informed it was a duplicate]

[wraith]

Hi Atak. Tried, again, with the EncodingClient provided. No luck. Same issue and no txt file is created. Not in the Ripbot or job1 file anyway.

I created a detailed post a few days ago. I suspect that, as it was quote of yours with the link to the EncodingClient, it has yet to be released. Not being sure when it would be, I decided to post again. Apologies to the Moderator if this is the case.

[Atak_Snajpera]

So I guess something else is terminating EncodingClient.exe. If EncodingClient.exe crashes it should generate file with error message. No .txt means no crash.

[Jake802]

I have a question I am using the Onboard Realtek Audio from an ASUS 970 Pro Gaming/Aura Motherboard. It has worked with No Issues, the minute I start encoding with RipBot264, the audio goes from being all crackly to completely losing audio at times and I have to uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Any ideas as to why this would occur? Thanks!

[Atak_Snajpera]

Update audio drivers

Why is there still needed for both FFDshow and Haali Media Splitter and not LAV Filters??

Any plans for change??

[Atak_Snajpera]

If ain't broke don't fix it

[Zetti]

I know but me and maybe other just use LAV Filters and not FFDshow, Haali Media Splitter and Lav Filters or just FFDshow and Haali Media Splitter.

[fantasmanegro]

I know but me and maybe other just use LAV Filters and not FFDshow, Haali Media Splitter and Lav Filters or just FFDshow and Haali Media Splitter.

From your point of view...

what is the benefit or advantage of using LAV or FFDSHOW over Haali??...

[Zetti]

I don't use FFDshow and Haali Media Splitter anymore, because its not updated in some years.

And i don't want to have different decoders and splitters, i think also others have same point of view like me.

But maybe a day Atak_Snajpera will make an option for chose between FFDshow and Haali Media Splitter or LAV Filters.

[fantasmanegro]

I think that is the point. There is no need to switch completely but giving an (hidden) option to choose LAV could satisfy both sites.

[Zetti]

Absolutely. :)

[soneca]

So far I do not use Lav Filters, but I think the Atak should take into consideration this update.

[nekrosoft13]

any chance could you add Flac audio support?

[Ronski]

I started a batch distributed encode going this morning, added the two files I was working with and set it going.

I noticed that the encoding client was alternating between encoding and not for all three servers, I looked in the server window and found an error of file not found, so aborted it. It then carried on with the next job.

Looking in the Ripbot window I saw an error for Job 2 and realised what had happened, job 1 and 2 were old jobs which I hadn't cleared off the list, but I'd deleted the source files, I must have inadvertently ticked job 2 thus adding it to the batch job.

I use the option to move the source file, so surely an error should have been logged here if the file is missing and the job skipped rather than trying to encode it?

[BlockABoots]

Im trying to preview my script (via the AviSynth button) but when i click on the preview i get the following.....

Have been trying the process Warcraft 3D, which has TrueHD ATMOS 7.1 audio (as well as an AC3 track), and when trying to prepare for encoding, it states that it's converting ATMOS to flac, but after quite a long time, it fails.

Any hints ??

Also, I've also noticed that the embedded version of MKVToolNix is v9.3.1, whereas the latest version is 9.4.2.....

[Ronski]

@Burt123 I use MKVTOOLNIX to extract just the video, then process that, then use MKVToolnix to mux the audio, subtitles, chapters etc back in. This way I retain the Atmos and audio tracks exactly as they are as I have an Atmos system, but the audio is usually bigger than the video part using H265.

I've been having this issue as well with some jobs.
As others have suggested it was the FPS being different. I just changed the FPS in MKVtoolNix and that fixed my problem without having to re-do my job.
I has also seen the issue where the audio gets stretched, ie double or more.
For the later issue I just use another program to process the audio or copy in the source audio and call it a day.

[lemaireus]

Each time I load a video with 224kbps E-AC-3 track into Ripbot I get the following error:

https://s12.postimg.org/4x9pc88jh/E_AC3_Decoding_Error.jpg

The source is .mkv video with 224k E-AC-3 audio (for some reason E-AC-3 640k does not create any problem). The only way out then is to load the video after demuxing the audio track, and remux the audio once the video has been encoded. The audio works perfectly well using this workaround.

Any ideas? The AC-3 header problem appears only when loading the file in Ripbot: Mediainfo works fine with the same file, as does playback, and MKVToolnix processing.

[byteshare]

Try re-muxing it with most recent MKVToolnix, and if that doesn't work remux it without audio and use another application to process audio. I've had this issue from time to time.
This last part is only a temporary solution, hopefully Atak_Snajpera can figure it out and fix.

[sneaker_ger]

Is it trying to use nicaudio? I think nicaudio never got E-AC-3/DD+ support so you need to use a different audio source filter.

[lemaireus]

This last part is only a temporary solution, hopefully Atak_Snajpera can figure it out and fix.

That is exactly what I have been doing, as I mentioned in my post: I demux the audio, encode the video, and then mux the original audio back in using MKVToolnix. But I was hoping may be someone has been able to find a better solution via an audio decoder update?

Is it trying to use nicaudio? I think nicaudio never got E-AC-3/DD+ support so you need to use a different audio source filter.

I don't think Ripbot is using nicaudio for audio processing, is it? Also, I don't get the issue when the audio is 640k E-AC-3/DD+.

[sneaker_ger]

I don't think Ripbot is using nicaudio for audio processing, is it?
I believe it's still shipped but I don't know when it is used. There should be a log or scripts available to show it, right?

[lemaireus]

I believe it's still shipped ...

Nic audio comes as one of the Avisynth plugins. My point is that if an audio decoder's inability to handle E-AC-3/DD+ is creating the issue then I should run into the same issue in a file with a 6 channel 640k E-AC-3 audio as well. However, that works fine. The issue crops up when the audio is two channel/stereo at 224k.

I have a file with 224k stereo E-AC-3 audio lying around. Will load that sometime after the present encode finishes (x265, will take a good 12 hours or so), and will see and post if there is anything worth note in the log file.

[lemaireus]

Accidentally deleted the file I referred to in the last post, so will have to wait for another file with stereo 224k E-AC-3 in order to post the log, but since the file isn't even queued by Ripbot I doubt if there will be an error log different from the one I posted in the screenshot in the first message about this issue, on p. 728.

Still looking for ideas on solving this one...

What you need to do is to choose the Microsoft own VC-1 Codec. FFDSHOW does not work anymore.
To do that please download "Win7DSFilterTweaker" from here (https://www.codecguide.com/windows7_preferred_filter_tweaker.htm) and as said, choose "Microsoft" for VC-1 for both 32-bit and 64-bit.
Remember, you always have to do that after you restarted your machine.

P.S.
Maybe you should uninstall ffdshow completly and reinstall it. During installation (where you see all the checkboxes for each codec) choose Microsoft for VC-1 and maybe you don't have to set it any time again after rebooting. But I haven't tried that for now.

[smuperman]

I recognized that the setting of ffdshow vc1 change to "wmv9" everytime I start Ripbot. So I am able to fix the problem by using ffdshow settings and change "wmv9" to deactivated after I started RipBot.

If I close Ripbot and start it again, it changes to "wmv9"

Same outcome while using Win7DSFilterTweaker.

ffdshow Install does not activate WMV9 by default. (Installed it and reboot -> ffdshow VC1 Setting: deactivated) Started Ripbot -> Activated -> WMV9.

It automatically changes to wmv9 because for Win7/Win8 microsoft's VC1 decoder is better. Last Time I checked libavcodec couldn't decode interlaced VC-1. I will check for solution on Virtual machine.

So WMV9 ist pure Microsoft? But why does changing to "deactivated" (ffdshow Settings) or using Win7DSFilterTweaker "Microsoft" instead of "ffdshow" option after starting Ripbot fix the problem?

-I've been able to add a custom filter to RipBot by editing the AVIsynth script as such:
This is for QTGMC (3.33) for better Deinterlace/decomb.
#Deinterlace
#LoadCplugin("C:\RipBot264v1.19.4\Tools\AviSynth plugins\Yadif\Yadif.dll")
#video=yadif(video,mode=1,order=1)
LoadPlugin("C:\RipBot264v1.19.4\Tools\AviSynth plugins\RepairSSE2.dll")

LoadPlugin("C:\RipBot264v1.19.4\Tools\AviSynth plugins\mvtools2.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\RipBot264v1.19.4\Tools\AviSynth plugins\yadif.dll")
Import("QTGMC-3.33.avsi")
video=QTGMC(video,Preset="Slow", ShowSettings=false, FPSDivisor=2)

This is for MDegrain2 for better denoise.
#Denoise
LoadPlugin("C:\RipBot264v1.19.4\Tools\AviSynth plugins\mvtools2.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\RipBot264v1.19.4\Tools\AviSynth plugins\flash3kyuu_deband.dll")
super = MSuper(pel=2)
bv1 = video.MAnalyse(super, isb = true, delta = 1, overlap=4)
fv1 = video.MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 1, overlap=4)
bv2 = video.MAnalyse(super, isb = true, delta = 2, overlap=4)
fv2 = video.MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 2, overlap=4)
video=video.MDegrain2(super,bv1,fv1,bv2,fv2,thSAD=400).f3kdb()

This is for MDegrain3 for even more/better denoise.
#Denoise
LoadPlugin("C:\RipBot264v1.19.4\Tools\AviSynth plugins\mvtools2.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\RipBot264v1.19.4\Tools\AviSynth plugins\flash3kyuu_deband.dll")
super = MSuper(pel=2)
bv1 = video.MAnalyse(super, isb = true, delta = 1, overlap=4)
fv1 = video.MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 1, overlap=4)
bv2 = video.MAnalyse(super, isb = true, delta = 2, overlap=4)
fv2 = video.MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 2, overlap=4)
bv3 = video.MAnalyse(super, isb = true, delta = 3, overlap=4)
fv3 = video.MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 3, overlap=4)
video=video.MDegrain3(super,bv1,fv1,bv2,fv2,bv3,fv3,thSAD=400).f3kdb()

These all seem to work with Distributed Encoding, I say seems because sometimes the info.txt (FPS and such) gets deleted after editing the script the GetInfo.avs seems to mess up somehow. I don't have this issue if you don't need to "cut up" the video (small clips).

[Atak_Snajpera]

You have to provide error message.

[byteshare]

You have to provide error message.

There was no error, but I figure it out. I had to remove the "Video." from "super = video.MSuper(pel=2)"
I updated all of the syntax. If you want I can send you the files I used if you're interested in adding these feature to RipBot or you can also download the files from their official sources.

I think I have a better idea where the issue is, but don't know why...
When I edit the script in RipBot (during edit mode) it looks like:
#VideoSource
video=DirectShowSource("C:\Intel\Other\!-Files-!\temp\example.mkv",audio=false).ConvertToYV12()

But when RipBot goes to package everything for Distrubuted Encoding it converts the code to:
#VideoSource
LoadPlugin("\\I2QB3_6T9QF02\RipBot264temp\Tools\AviSynth plugins\ffms\ffms2.dll")
video=FFVideoSource("\\I2QB3_6T9QF02\RipBot264temp\job1\video.mkv",threads=1)

When I run the same script with only those different in AvsPmod I get an error with QTGMC (line 377)

Also update on the script I used I found when using AvsPmod that the MDegrain2/3 wasn't working I needed to
add back the video. and remove it from the others like so:
super = video.MSuper(pel=2)
bv1 = MAnalyse(super, isb = true, delta = 1, overlap=4)
fv1 = MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 1, overlap=4)
bv2 = MAnalyse(super, isb = true, delta = 2, overlap=4)
fv2 = MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 2, overlap=4)
video=MDegrain2(super,bv1,fv1,bv2,fv2,thSAD=400).f3kdb()
But either way the info.txt issue is stopping me from doing a full test with Distributed Encoding.

Update: When I changed my test file from a RGB to a YV12 color source I didn't get the info.txt issue.

Hi,

how to disable automatic conversion of TrueHD to FLAC ?
I do not want it (FLAC) nor need it.
I prefer bitstreaming of TrueHD, so it is just a wasting of time...

Thanks :)

[Ronski]

@squeezer. I found the same problem, so I use MKVTOOLNIX to extract just the video, then process that with Ripbot then use MKVToolnix to mux the audio, subtitles and chapters back in that I require.

There should be a way in ripbot to select/keep what's required but I couldn't find it.

Hello,
First of all, I love this app.
I've been using it for a while and it just gets better and better with each revision...
So, thank you!

Issue:
The distributed encoding network configuration mechanism seems to be broken in 1.19.4.
Whenever I set up other computers as encoding servers, they eventually time out and never actually connect to the master host.
There are errors of the timeouts being reported in the server console.

https://s14.postimg.org/ldgxefqr5/2016_11_09_232007_000008.jpg

I took the liberty of doing a packet capture and I noticed that the IP the encoding server is being instructed to connect to isn't on my local subnet (see line 30 in packet capture).
In fact, it looks like the IP also matches the IP being displayed on the master host's encoding server console.

Slave encoder network capture:
https://s14.postimg.org/pnvla0vu9/2016_11_09_232058_000009.jpg

Master host server console:
https://s13.postimg.org/eew3fr0wn/2016_11_09_23_32_17_Master_Host.jpg

I looked at the Distributed Encoding settings on the master host and the first server in the list is the localhost, 127.0.0.1.
Although that is a valid IP for the localhost, I think it's actually causing an issue with control messages being sent to the slaves.
You can see the control message in the TCP stream below instructing it to connect to an invalid IP address.

https://s14.postimg.org/cc9u4jfnl/2016_11_09_234336_000010.jpg

I tried changing that IP in the settings to the actual IP address of the master host but it didn't fix it.
Also, I tried looking for that IP in all of the INI files but it doesn't seem to be in any of those files.
I don't know if this IP is hard set in the code so I figured I'd send this post so you were aware of the issue.
Maybe it's a simple fix and recompile?

Do you have mutiple network adapters (Phisical/Virtual) installed in your main pc?

[Tazlord]

Do you have mutiple network adapters (Phisical/Virtual) installed in your main pc?
There are physically 2 built into the motherboard but only 1 is actually enabled. I think I should mention that distributed encoding worked fine until I upgraded to 1.19.4.

EDIT:
After this post I decided to look and make sure my 2nd NIC was disabled. I found out there are actually 2 new network adapters in my system. I believe they were installed by VMware, which I happened to install around the same time I upgraded RipBot. I disabled them and it works now. THANKS!

I don't suppose there's a way to add an interface selector to RipBot? I would imagine I'm not the only person who might be running more than 1 network adapter.

Thanks again for all the help!

Once in a while a chunk will try to encode at bitrate 99 (not 99k, just 99) or similar and the encoder will fail because that is too low. I'm assuming it's probably during the credit roll of some movies and the ABR algorithm probably doesn't see much need to use a higher bitrate. That's just my assumption. Aborting the process just recreates the chunks and doesn't solve the issue. The only way for me to fix it is to edit that chunk's CMD file and replace all instances of "--bitrate 99" with something like "--bitrate 9900" and save the file without aborting the process.
I was considering lowering the BDO to 1 or increasing the chunk size to 120 to get more real content in the clip but I figured I'd ask you first just in case you're not aware of this.

Thanks again!

I tried to go back and re-rip a title I thought was giving me this problem but everything worked fine this time. I know it happens about 10% of the time so I'm sure to run into it again. I'll update you when it happens.

EDIT:
I should mention that I only do 2-pass encoding and this has only happened on the 2nd pass, after the "proper" ABR has been modified for encoding.

I think a good workaround would be to parse the command line scripts of all the chunks before the 2nd pass encoding starts and replace any bitrates below a threshold with a set minimum. For instance, if a threshold of 512 is met then encode this chunk at a minimum of 50% of the requested bitrate but no less than the threshold.

Just a suggestion.

[Atak_Snajpera]

the problem is set hard limit to 100 kbps in code. If calculated bitrate is lower than 100 then inject value 100. No idea why you got 99???

Really? Interesting. When this happens it's almost always 99. A few times I saw 98.
It just happened again today. This time it happened on the first chunk. I've never seen that before.

Are you going to post some release notes/change log, etc ??

I'm sure Atak will, but two of the new features I can confirm are GTGMC for better deinterlace/comb and MDgrain2 for better noise removal (hopefully we'll get MDegrain3 at some point?), which is awesome. Thank you so much!!
Update: You can manually do MDgrain3, can confirm works.

[byteshare]

Question about batch mode and interlace:
-Is there option somewhere I'm missing to say no audio like I get when I do 1 file at a time?

-For Deinterlace in RipBot why do I not get the option for some files? (greyed out and the drop down list won't show when clicked on)
-Side things once I enable QTGMC instead of Yadif are the best options (when I get them) to pick:
------Deinterlace: Inverse Telecine
------Decimate: Restore (ie 23.976 FPS)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Deinterlace option is disabled if fps is other than 25 or 29.97

[byteshare]

Deinterlace option is disabled if fps is other than 25 or 29.97
Something might be wrong then, because RipBot is showing the FPS is 29.970 (media info too (and constant)) but it doesn't give me the option. However for a video that is 23.976 FPS (media info says is variable FPS) the options were available. I can manually add in the deinterlace code and it works (I made a slight modification):
#Deinterlace
Loadplugin("C:\Intel\other\!2Tools\RipBot264v1.19.5\Tools\AviSynth plugins\Repair\RepairSSE2.dll")
Loadplugin("C:\Intel\other\!2Tools\RipBot264v1.19.5\Tools\AviSynth plugins\RemoveGrain\RemoveGrainSSE2.dll")

Import("C:\Intel\other\!2Tools\RipBot264v1.19.5\Tools\AviSynth plugins\Scripts\QTGMC.avs")
video=QTGMC(video,Preset="Slow",FPSDivisor=2)
Don't need the Yadif.dll when the present is Slow.

Update: I can force the deinterlace in batch mode and then for videos that are 29.970 I can change the option. The limit of 25 or 29.97 seems strange with QTGMC, because as far as I understand it there isn't specific FPS limits.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Have you ever seen footage encoded as 23.976i,24i,30i and so on?

PAL is either 25i or 50p
NTSC is either 29.97i or 59.94p

The preset medium is better in my opinion.

Yes medium preset is used by default. You can verify that in script.

In settings check 'Use QMTC instead of yadif' and then activate deinterlace.

Hello, my RipBot264 just installed some updates, since then it keeps giving me this error, with every video that I try to import.

ConvertToYV12: invalid "matrix" parameter (RGB data only)
(C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)

How can I fix this?
Thanks!

Edit 1: I tried to re-download RipBot (1.19.4) and I could add videos again.
Then I closed and re-launched it, updates was automatically installed (1.19.5) and it started to gave me that error message again.

Edit 2: I reinstalled all codec packs and everything seems fine now, sorry!

Compelling photos. I'll have to do some more testing. I'll be honest I took it more on faith that the slow was better because of someone I know. I usually test these things more myself.

"Have you ever seen footage encoded as 23.976i,24i,30i and so on"
Don't know if I have but I also don't keep a good memory of that stuff. I was having issues with some videos not giving the option, but I figured a way around it by forcing the settings in batch mode, and if they didn't stick just manually copy pasting the code into the AVIscript. Also, my issue could have been a fluke, IDK.
:thanks:

Update: Ran some of my own tests, and indeed. Medium is performing better than Slow.

@Atak
on a two-monitor setup with extended desktop when I press the cover button the "download poster" window appears half in each screen (in the middle of the extended display)

not a big problem but I thought I should mention it

[burt123]

Hi Atak,
Just got around to updating and using the latest build, and have discovered a strange problem.
When using video preview, instead of the player showing a video, it throws up an error message:-
"The Script's return value was not a video clip, (Is the undefined value)" in red letters.
However, I did a couple without adding a Level Change (eg:-PC-TV), and it previewed a video, BUT if I then added the PC-TV filter, the error message came back.
Any thoughts ???...I'm yet to process said queue, so don't know if error will jeopardize the process.

Update...nothing was processed, just errored the whole queue, have gone back to 1.19.4...

I've been using 1.19.5 and loving it. My guess is you need to reinstall your AVIsynth and/or codec packs.

[Tazlord]

the problem is set hard limit to 100 kbps in code. If calculated bitrate is lower than 100 then inject value 100. No idea why you got 99???
Just an update,
This still seems to be an issue. It's interesting because more are showing up as --bitrate 98 now. I wonder what made it change to 98 from 99?

[slalom]

Is there a problem with downloading posters after today's update?

[burt123]

Thanks for the info, but it didn't make any difference, and what codec packs are you referring to ???

One thing tho, if I set up a job in 1.19.4, there's not a problem, and if I then start 1.19.5, it previews & encodes that job, without a problem.

any way to have the temp drive be a share on a network NAS box?

I think that would be slow
(don't you have a letter on that shared drive?)

[Shrekage]

slow... my NAS has 4x1G links on a RAID 10. when all the distributed encoders hit my main PC it kills the I/O for my single drive

[slalom]

Don't you have a letter on that shared drive?

[slalom]

Yes medium preset is used by default. You can verify that in script.
How can I change that preset??

[Shrekage]

Slalom, no, because in Windows 10 you have network places since mapping drives is from 1990.

however, I did map a network drive, pointing Ripbot temp folder to it, launching it and finding it could not access the shared drive because it insists on running in the elevated environment, mapping the drive in the elevated environment. adding a job, pressing the go button, and watching it error out...

Just as I expected, the EncodingClient can't share a mapped drive! it errors out immediately after copying the tools there

so what I am asking for is that the temp location can be \\server\share. and then the encoding client can use that as the shared location for all of the files and it can skip trying to share a folder on the machine in that instance...

doing it this way will take all I/O load off of the machine running ripbot, except managing the encodingservers and it's own encoding tasks, and put it on a device made to handle it--the NAS box...

[byteshare]

How can I change that preset??

Either when adding a video or editing encode settings:

Hi I'm new to this forum. I wish I'd found it sooner. I hadn't used Ripbot264 for about a month. I was on 1.19.4 and it updated to 1.19.5 and I started getting the error. I reverted back to 1.19.4 and then checked each update file until I discovered that is was the Ripbot264.exe (1.19.5) that was causing the problem. I just kept the 1.19.4 version of the file and the program is running fine again. After reading this thread it appears all I needed to do was re-install the codepack. Strangely the core.zip downloads each time I run the program but the Update log says it's corrupt.

Regarding "invalid matrix parameter (RGB data only)" make sure you have AviSynth 2.6 installed. I suppose you are still on pretty old 2.5.8 version.
CRC32 error was most likely caused by incomplete download (lost connection/aborted). Do not worry about that.

Regarding audio topic I will have to check.

Hello all. I just noticed something when using Distributed encoding. While encoding in the "Ripbot264 Encoding Client" Window, I can not seem to scroll down the chucks section. Encoding works fine but the scrolling either manually(mouse clicking on scroll-bar, or arrows) or using the mouse wheel will not work. All other dialog windows on the PC work fine. I've encoding 5 movies so far with the same issue.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue??

[Wishbringer]

I did a fresh install of Win10Pro x64 (14393.447),
installed Avisynth 2.60
ffdshow tryouts rev 4533
Haali Media Splitter (MatroskaSplitter)
Java (newest 32bit release 8u111)

And Ripbot264 (download-link in #1 Post).
Updated Ripbot with Autoupdate.

After creating a job all wen't fine. Whole movie was encoded (was native 16:9 without cropping).
Then I added a movie 2.40:1 and enabled autocrop and resize (1920x800).
Preview didn't work. Encoding failed.

After I removed ".Sharpen()" behind resize-function, preview and encode worked.

I am curious. Isn't "Sharpen()" a buildin-function of avisynth.
Function doesn't seem to exists in my Avisynth.

I though it was just me! I found if you let an encode start and don't click off the window you can still manipulate the scroll and encoding servers, but once I click off I lose control. I can't even click abort in the window, have to do that from the main RipBot window, which always works (don't lose ability to click on items).

[Wishbringer]

Hm, found another odd behavior:
I am encoding with DE.
Have 8 Server (E3-1240v5 with 64GB Ram each)
When a Encoding server crashes and I close Encoding Server and restart App,
I can't enable that Server in central Encoding Client again.
It is still disabled till end of whole encode.
In next batch it starts as normal enabled.

Seems the "On"-Button in Encoding Client doesn't work.

Encoding-Client chunks window:
I can scroll with middle mouse wheel, but bar and arrows doesn't work.
Like mentioned by byteshare and Viper714.

[Viper714]

Okay I am not the only one either. Yes, I noticed the same as Wishbriner. None of the ON or OFF buttons work on the Encoding client window. Byteshare, I just tried keeping the window in focus and it does work, but as you said the minute I click outside that window, it looses focus and I can't click on anything else.

Apparently it is loosing focus and can't get it back... :scared:

Okay, so here is the latest.
When the encoding client windows first opens everything works (mouse wheel scroll, scroll-bar [dragging or click outside of scroll bar] ,scroll-bar arrows, ON & OFF buttons).

When I click on the Ripbot main window and go back to the encoding window only the mouse wheel scroll works. Nothing else works. Not even the abort button as byteshare & Wishbringer mentioned.

Thank you for creating this software.

I am using 10 machines connected over internet via OpenVPN and after some problems, I am happy with the speed.
Quick tip for those who might want to try connecting computers over internet via VPN:

On all clients connecting via VPN, edit C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts file and add at the end:
Main_PC_IP Main_PC_NetBiosName

example:
192.168.100.15 RipBot264PC

If a client connected over VPN cannot resolve the computer name, it will flick from Idle to Encoding because the client is set to work with computer name instead of IP.

Of course, 1 Gbps will help a lot. I do not recommend using anything lower with so many computers.

I have tried to re-encode a file with --stitchable, but the result is the same.
Using Google Chrome to directly play the mp4 from a web server or Plex, freezes the play at ~1:00 min.
Using Internet Explorer 11, Plex will not freeze.
So I guess this must be a Chrome problem somehow.

I tried re-muxing the mp4 as mkv, but no luck. It is still freezing.

[byteshare]

I usually use the [MAIN x.x] 8bit Progressive profile H265, could somebody explain the benefits and pitfalls (if any) of using the [MA10 x.x] 10bit progressive profile please?

I've tried Googling and can't really find anything.
I'm sure others will have very different opinions (also not the right forum for this), but quick differences IMO are:
8bit faster encode, slightly smaller filesize (sometimes), and higher degree of compatibility (number of devices that can play smoothly).
10bit better handling of dark scenes and banding (noticeably in CRF 20-24 (were I mostly encode)).

Try Kodi just to test since they have similar players.

@byteshare Thanks very much for the explanation, much appreciated. All players I currently use can handle it, and as time goes on I expect more will, so I'll switch to using it.

Hi Atak,
I think I may have discovered a bug when using the new noise filter MDgrain2.

If you abort a job (when using DE, haven't tried it without), and when the pop up comes up "Do you want to keep the current progress ?", and you chose "Yes"...when you come back to it, it starts from the beginning :(

Please feel free to try it, I don't think it's just my setup, as it does it on a couple of different pc's, either W8.1 or W10.

But having said that, MDgrain2 does a really good job on "noisy" files, worth the wait, as it is quite a lot slower.

Which brings me to my next comment / request.

I know I have asked you many times to add more DE servers, 10 is nice, 12 or more would be great...the more help you can get with these new filters and settings, the better.

It would be a great new feature to start 2017. Please consider :)

Happy New Year y'all.

I haven't had this problem, unless you mean the segment starts over, or do you mean the whole encode (all the chunks)?

I know I have asked you many times to add more DE servers, 10 is nice, 12 or more would be great...the more help you can get with these new filters and settings, the better.
My thought is it would be great if you have 9 servers idle they could start on the next encode, meaning once all the chunks are filled another encode would start so no server is ever idle.

Only the segment stars over, unless you edit the job

Well, what I have noticed every time so far, is the whole encode starts from scratch....no editing, just having aborted it.

But it's only when using the new filter.

Not too sure what you mean about the 9 idle servers...or do you mean you might be able to have multiple encodes going, on each DE server, so up to 10 jobs, not 1 job over 10 servers ?!?!?

Either way, the more DE servers, the better, especially if you have many powerful pc's.

I just tested it using MDegrain2 and MDegrain3 (manual edit) and only the chunks restart on me, not the chunks already finished. I'm testing on Windows 8.1

For the 9 idle servers I mean near the end of a job when you only have a few chunks left and servers start to go idle because there are no chunks left to encode, if those idle servers could start working on the next job that would be awesome.

Hi byteshare,

Yeah, on further observation, I have noticed that the problem occurs on other encodes, not just with MDegrain, so I must have a problem somewhere.

Interested in your mention of a manual edit to use MDegrain3....more info on that, please :)

Yep, I have to agree with your idea about the servers activity at the end of a job....good idea !!!

But I'd still like MORE.....

You're talking about 3-5 minutes max of idle time. Not worth the trouble

That would depend on your encode settings/FPS, not to mention how many server you have sitting idle to multiply that by. With slow encodes that use MDegrain I can have a 60s clip take 30 or more min. so that means I can have all but 1 server idle for 30 min. just waiting for the job to end and start encoding again.

[Shrekage]

I have found a bug in encodingclient.exe. I have 1 server at 10.0.0.100. and after the client connects to it and the chunk starts to encode, it changes the address to 10.0.0.116. when the chunk finishes encoding, I get an exception shown in the attached PNG file

it reads "Exception EConvertError in module EncodingClient.exe at 00024122. '116:1000' is not a valid floating point value."

What is the shortest segment length you can get away with without losing compression and/or quality for CRF? For 2pass? Right now the default is 60s.
I mostly use CRF but sometimes I use 2pass.

In order to reduce some of my server idle time I was hoping to reduce the segment size.

Has anyone else noticed issues with multi-playlist titles not showing the correct playlist in the "Select Streams" "Playlist" drop-down? So far I've run into 2 titles that have the multi-playlist protection where the correct playlist wouldn't show up in the drop-down. I verified the correct playlist on both titles using the Process Monitor method and also verified the playlist via BDInfo. However, when trying to select the proper playlist in RipBot, the correct one is nowhere to be found. I figure since the BD Structure is established from the eac3to executable, I'm going to assume it's probably a problem with that application. I just wanted to see if anyone else is having this same problem?

Atak, in case you're monitoring this. I've attached a link to the BD structure of one of the titles so you can see for yourself. The correct playlist for this title is 541 but it doesn't show up in eac3to's output.

The "quality=0.X" Setting.

The wait for more sound options could be a long one. I'd recommend if you're not already using a 3rd party app to process the sound and then mux it back in yourself.

[jlpsvk]

@Atak_Snajpera

Hi. First of all, thanks for the RipBot distributed encoding...using 32 cores on my LAN I am able to get 30fps with HEVC slow settings. :)

Hust a few suggestions.

- Why you still require ffdshow, which are old and no longer maintained? What about switch to LAV Filters?
- option to output filename preset... for example if file is INPUT.MKV than after selecting it, output will automatically be named INPUT_HEVC.mkv or whatever I set
- option not to demux audio...spare time, when I want to mux external audio later
- option to set DEFAULT, FORCED signs to audio/subtitle tracks, and codepage to SRT subtitle tracks (for the muxing part)

And one question...what aboout audio delays? If the source file's audio has some delay, will it be maintained after encoding and muxing?

[byteshare]

There is no quality loss in cq because in this mode bitrate is adjusted on fly. Those posts have nothing to do with cq mode.
If the chunk size doesn't matter for DE with CQ mode than why do you force 60s chunks?
Would that also mean that "BDO strength" doesn't have an affect when doing DE with CQ?

[byteshare]

When encoding on 1 machine with 2-4 encoding clients on the 1 machine at the end of the encode the server window (shows the status of each chunk and such) stays open and shows my encoding clients as idle. If I close the server window the completed chunks mux with the audio as desired and I get the file I want.
It doesn't happen with every file. What logs should I provide on files this does happen with?
Windows 7 SP1
RipBot 1.19.5

It seems to be random because if I retry the encode it usually doesn't happen, which is what I was doing the first few times, but now I know I need to just close the main server window.

I might have been wrong, looks like the encoding clients do turn off

[Atak_Snajpera]

What has happened to those buttons? Did encoding client combine chunks?

Update:
I reckon that application is unable to completely close main form after work. It looks like it hung after form1.close command. Weird...

It combines the chunks in the main window when I close the server window.

[byteshare]

I can confirm since switching over to the full/official 19.5 (not just the update from 19.4 to 19.5) something has changed with the window behavior in Windows 7. I haven't tested on Windows 8. I know you applied some fixes for loosing window control that I know I personally had with the server window in Windows 8.
I used to use a program called Turbo Mouse (clicks for you really fast) so I could move things around the queue with less work and faster, but not the program no longer works in the RipBot window, but still works in other applications normally.
I wonder if this is related to the issue with the server window getting stuck open and not auto muxing a video on complete when in DE mode?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Tomorrow I will post improved EncodingClient for testing. It should fix all those odd behaviours (stalls and so on). I've just noticed that I had very ugly code here and there remembering 1.17.x times.

This was after an encode was finishing and needed to be mux'd. I closed the error and the video was mux'd correctly and RipBot went on to the next encode (opened the EncodingClient for the next video).

Could you give a video narration for Ripbot264 distributed encoding?

I could not connect two computers with WiFi, would you tell me how to switch between two computers ?

[tkwou]

Hi Atak_Snajpera, I've noticed a problem with the last two blu-rays I've tried to recode. I'm using 1.19.5 and distributed encoding with a total of 4 computers. For some reason one of the chunks is much smaller and at a much lower bit rate than all the rest. If you look at my attachments, block 1.264 is much smaller than all the other following pieces despite it's similar 1 minute duration. The video is highly pixellated and macroblocked compared to all the following pieces which encoded properly. This occurred with another movie but it was more towards the end of the movie. Again it was only one block with all the rest being normal. Please let me know if there is any other info you require. Thanks.

[tkwou]

Sorry I guess I should include that I'm re-encoding Blu ray to Profile AVC High 4.0 at an average bit rate of 20000 on a 2-Pass.

[Atak_Snajpera]

increase chunk size from default 60s to 300s or even 600s.

[tkwou]

Thanks I'll give that a try. What about the BDO strength setting. Should I leave it at 2? Also, as I've asked before, how do I demux a TrueHD soundtrack without it automatically converting to Flac? Thanks.

You could try BDO 1 or 0:

As for Demuxing TrueHD soundtrack, I'd manually do this with MKVToolNix

[tkwou]

Thanks byteshare, it's just that the TrueHD track is already in the Blu-ray .mkv so that I would have to remove the track first by creating a new .mkv file before using Ripbot264. Otherwise it will just demux the TrueHD track and start converting it to Flac which wastes a lot of time. Then when Ripbot264 is finished I would need to remux the .mkv again to add the TrueHD soundtrack back.

[Ronski]

I also use MKVToolnix to strip out the video only, then use Ripbot264 to process that, then re mux again with MKVToolnix, leaving out the original video stream and mux in the new stream. It does take extra time, but I don't do many so not a problem for me.

It would be ideal if ripbot can be told to just process the video and leave everything else as it is.

Then when Ripbot264 is finished I would need to remux the .mkv again to add the TrueHD soundtrack back.

If the copy audio isn't working for you, than you'll have to do it manually, however...I recommend using a batch file to do these things. I can help with that if you need it.
I'd use these for now (in .bat form) for stripping out audio (going from audio/video to just video:
for %%a in (*.mkv) do "C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "..\output\%%a" -A "%%a"
Just audio (audio/video to just audio):
for %%a in (*.mkv) do "C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "..\output\%%a" -D "%%a"

[tkwou]

Thanks for your advice but I already know how to do it. I was just hoping there was a simple way so I wouldn't have to. I don't understand why True-HD is still singled out to be converted to Flac when other HD audio tracks are left alone.

I'm not sure either. RipBot could use a little TLC when it comes to audio but the program is great overall so what can you do but wait for updates :)
I know I'd like to see a "none" option for audio in batch mode.

This version has improved BDO algorithm.
First change is range. It now accepts only values between 0 and 1. (if value is larger then 1 is used)
There is also a new safety limit how much bitrate can be reduced for low complexity chunks (credits and so on). In old version it was 100kbps. Now the limit is 25% of nominal bitrate. In example below you can see that bitrate does not drop below 250kbps in credit section.

This only affects 2-pass and not CQ mode, correct?

The new 2.3 x265 has a few other optimizations for 2-pass mode.

[Atak_Snajpera]

yes. Only 2-pass needs this bitrate adjustment for each chunk.

why still uses ffdshow? there is no further development & update since 2014..Lavfilters should be a better option..I bring this issue because I had nvidia gpu and want hardware decoding while encoding..want my cpu to give all it's juice to encoding..ffdshow only has intel quicksync no cuvid/cuda support but Lavfilters has all of this..pls consider this option.

Do you realize that during conversion encoding process (x264/x265) is a true bottleneck?

http://i.cubeupload.com/9Vdnim.png

Hardware decoding won't reduce encoding time because CPU spends more than 90% of cycles on encoding.

I would like to upgrade my method of ripping tv DVD box sets. Don't laugh, but my current method is:
1) rip each video title with DVDFAB VOB passthroguh
2) Use MeGUI and use FileIndexer to crop, de-interlace (if required) and add my Decomb to the .avs script
3) Use foobar to make my .AAC sound file
4) Use VDub with misc filters and a two pass to make .avi
5) extract H264 and remux with Yamb
6) Final tv series of .mp4

Does rip bot do this in less steps? If so, does it accurately crop and de-interlace as required?

Is there a RipBot guide or tutorial that can get me going in the right direction to accomplish this? I only have used it to batch .mkv's into .mp4s. At most the only advanced feature is changing it from 1080p to 720p.

By the way, in RipBot, is 22 CRF an acceptable setting for a DVD TV series rip? I'ts an older TV show, I Dream of Jeannie. So not a lot of fast motion scenes. I have been doing 2 pass 2048KBS on all my TV shows, regardless of BD or DVD, new or old. From what I am reading, I am overkilling the DVD with 2048 kbs on old DVD TV Shows.

[Atak_Snajpera]

You have to decide. Do some test encodes and see for yourself.

[byteshare]

@Atak_Snajpera I know it would be a lot of work, and I'm not trying to pressure, but have you looked at using newer mvtools? https://github.com/pinterf/mvtools/releases/tag/2.7.9.22
It includes some speedup improvements for MDegrain1-6. I tried using it with RipBot and it errored out so I think maybe it has something to do with another dependency?
If it can't/won't ever happen no worries, I use the program a lot as is.
HandBrake doesn't even have a denoise as good as mdegrain in RipBot :)

[brumsky]

Atak_Snajpera, would it be possible to add a some CLI support to ripbot? I'd like to be able to add encodes to the list.

Something like the follow command

ripbot source dest x265 audio1 5.1 ac3

It would ideally use the default HEVC profile. I'm hoping to automate this with a powershell script I have been using.

Thanks love Ripbot264!!

Just copy mvtools2.dll from x86 folder and it will work.

@brumsky
I will think about it.

[byteshare]

Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
I downloaded: https://github.com/pinterf/mvtools/releases/tag/2.7.14.22
copied the mvtools2.dll from the x86 folder in the .7z to my C:\RiptBot\Tools\AviSynth plugins\mvtools\ folder (copied the one in their to somewhere else and then over write the one there.

When I try to preview:
LoadPlugin: unable to load "C:\RiptBot\Tools\AviSynth plugins\mvtools\mvtools2.dll", error=0xc1
(C:\Temp\RiptBot264temp\job384_preview.avs, line 33)

Go ahead and try to encode anyways, and during the "Please Wait...Preparing chunks..." I get:
Application error: Exception EFOpenError in module EncodingClient.exe at 0002411A.
Cannot open file "C:\Temp\RiptBot264temp\job384\info.txt". The system cannot find the file specified.

Tried this for giggles with the x64 one too.
This is my Denoise code (default):
#Denoise
Loadplugin("C:\RipBot\Tools\AviSynth plugins\mvtools\mvtools2.dll")
super=MSuper(video,pel=2)
fv1=MAnalyse(super,isb=false,delta=1,overlap=4)
bv1=MAnalyse(super,isb=true,delta=1,overlap=4)
fv2=MAnalyse(super,isb=false,delta=2,overlap=4)
bv2=MAnalyse(super,isb=true,delta=2,overlap=4)
video=MDegrain2(video,super,bv1,fv1,bv2,fv2,thSAD=400)

Copy the original mvtools2.dll back in and no problems. If it makes a difference I'm on Windows 7 SP1 with a Haswell microarchitecture (4th generation).

Having an issue here with DE that I'm sure is particularly simple.

Got an encode going on the main PC. Two other pc's on the LAN- one is helping with the encode, but the other one just sits there flicking between "Idle" and "Encoding". Over and over and it's infuriating.

It's a clean install. Any ideas as to the issue?

I had a similar thing happen to me the other day......check that you are using the same Windows log in password on EVERY pc.

Worked for me....

[Ronski]

I had all my servers doing that yesterday, then I noticed it was trying to encode one that had already been done. Don't know if I'd inadvertently ticked the check box, but the servers were complaining the file was missing which it would be as I'd deleted it. But surely the main program should simply skip it if the files missing rather than trying to encode it?

I'm sure I've mentioned this before.

[Atak_Snajpera]

New auto crop method beta test.

Main features
-Slightly faster (1.5x-2x faster)
-more accurate (less chance for over cropped frame)

http://www.mediafire.com/file/d73d7kkwkor7100/Ripbot_new_autocrop_algo.7z

[soneca]

On my pc it was about 30% faster.
Wanted to test with a dark film, I remember the autocrop wrongly cut the movie Underworld, unfortunately I no longer have this BD with me.

[Atak_Snajpera]

The speed up will bigger if you have 16 Thread CPU (for example Ryzen 7). Realistically it is around 50%.

[soneca]

Does this greater accuracy also occur in dark films? Usually the most problematic for AutoCrop.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I've tested with Underworld (2003) and borders where correctly detected.
