RipBot264 v1.18.3 - Simple and easy to use GUI -> IPOD . PSP . CONSOLES . BLURAY

[dvgeek]

Atak - Many thanks once again for a great program. I've archived more than 50+ BD movies and every one of them is great!

I've been using v1.11.1 and just installed v1.11.5 and noticed something strange. Just for curiosity can you please explain why you moved from using DGAVCDec to video.mkv? The move increases the temp storage by as many jobs times the video size, as I do keep the files for remuxing the subs later.

Would it be possible for you to please provide a switch to use DGAVCDec instead of video.mkv, so that users could have a choice?

Thanks very much.

Cheers!

One question. I have few movies and cartoons that I recorded with my receiver (coolsat-7100), and I want to convert them on put on my ps3. the format is .ts look like mpeg + mp2 as audio track. I open a movie in ripbot and the output movie is not sync. I opened the video in avidemux and the movie length is not the same as ripbot reported.

I want to cut this .ts to send it as a sample. Which tools should I use ?


here the output from mediainfo

The only way to make that fit into screen-filling 720p is to lose material to the left and right (if I did the math right, at a 1152x720 resolution with screen-filling movie height, vs. 1280x720 for an effective 533 movie height). All in all, 1152 vs. 1280 isn't all that bad, in terms of what you'd lose in scenery; although the difference between 1920 vs. 1152 seems more costly.

You misunderstood what I meant. I wouldn't change the aspect ratio of the movie or crop anything besides the black bars. So the movie is 2.40:1. I would encode at 1480x616 or maybe a little lower if I wanted mod16.

At long last I've just resorted to doing my rendering inside a Vmware box (Windows 2003 server, with 4 vCPU's). Rendering slowdown (due to obvious virtualization) is actually surprisingly minimal. This setup has the great advantage that I can go to my computer in the morning, hybernate the Vmware box, and continue to use my computer for other stuff, until night cometh again and I resume the RipBot task.

I've got a vmware license, I'll give this a shot. It's too bad, too. I'm sure there's SOME way to suspend/resume other processes in windows.

Who said anything about 'ridiculous 2G file size'? You said:

It was example regarding that post:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...19#post1217619

That's a fascinating argument to have. As I'm sure some would say the difference between 720 and 480 isn't all that big, either. But Full-HD is defined at 1080p, and I like it that way.

Difference between 480p and 720p is alot bigger than 720 and 1080p for HUMAN EYES! You are obsessed by numbers. Some people claim that every 12 Mpix camera will always give better quality than other at 8 Mpix Electronic world is not that simple as you see in advertisment.
Your knowledge in this particular case is similar to example above.

I'm not able to get this clip working in ripbot.

Screenshots taken on Key Frame. If difference is barely visible at static frames so during motion you won't see any.

Is that hard to manually find correct delay? It took me less than 2 minutes to find that correct audio delay is around -1250ms.

have you used Procces Explorer?

you use that to generate a 720p instead of 1080p ? (the result will be a higher bitrate of a better quality..right ? )

I wan't able to find it with mediainfo.. I tough it was that the audio track had less fps than video. so the sync won't stay sync.

This is just a SIMULATION how 720p material would look on 1080p display! BiCubicResize(1920,1080) emulates upscaling algorithm used by players.

Like I mentioned I found audio delay manually. It wasn't difficult.

It certainly doesn't look bad. The BiCubicResize image has about 3,000 less unique colors, but is still impressive, of course.

The thing of it is, though, maybe if you'd been part of the Blu-ray Disc Association, you could have convinced them to go with 720p. But 1080p it is. And you'll always gonna find folks like me, who simply don't want to lose anything: no colors, no resolution, no detail. no contrast, etc.

so y do u re-encode

[nwg]

I am sticking with 720p. Apart from the time saving and I am using just single layer DVD's, I only have a 720p display. So, at some stage I am going to lose resolution anyway whether it by downscaling or from the disc itself.

I tried to do a double layer dvd and the blu ray player just stuttered badly. It was fine through the computer. It seems not enough power to play the disc which is strange as it was still well below the max for AVCHD bitrates.

Yes. I have a 6T media server, and like to stream my movies to my PS3. And, like I said, for VC-1 material I'm forced to re-encode, so I do so grudgingly; hence my desire not to lose anything (or as little as possible).

I will have 2TB of storage shortly. I can stream mpeg2 and VC-1 in original 1080p resolution but not many H264 titles. Sometimes the bitrate is low enough for them to stream but some H264 requires reencoding with ripbot to stream smoothly.

The PS3, on the other hand, streams H264 perfectly, also at 1080p, of course, but will only play VC-1 in a WMV container with 2.0 sound. *shudder*

Do you always watch movies with calculator?

It's better if you say how you do it.

I downloaded this program but it has a .7Z extension. what kind of file type is this? How do I extract it or run it?

Thanks

Its a 7Zip file. WinRar will handle these natively, otherwise you can download the free app.

Hi Atak!

A lil request please.

Can we please be given the option of using NeroAACEnc if at all poss? And an option to select default bitrate for AAC?

I mainly encode for iPod/PSP and use 96kbps all the time.. maybe these default options can be linked to certain profiles?

Cheers!!!
