here what you need to do in order to fix that

1) use delaycut to remove 50ms at the begining
2) load fixed .ac3 in ripbot264
3) apply audio delay for a/v sync (250 ms seems to be correct)
I've been fixing it by manually converting AC3 to AAC and remuxing, the resulting MP4 plays fine. I used an old tool called px3convert to convert to WAV then Nero to encode to AAC. I'm not familiar with all the tools ripbot uses but I'm surprised it cannot handle converting this type of audio properly. Can the tools be updated to handle this type of audio? I've run into several mkv movies like this and I was hoping to avoid doing things manually.

I not going to blame that 'moron' because there's not even a hint of commercials displayed or heard on any of the movies in question. So only an old tool (px3convert) can handle this type of audio? Since it is a very common problem I just think tools should be updated to handle it.

Stop posting about mkv files you "have run into", otherwise strikes will start coming your way.

HQDN3D Info and Fine Tuning

Well, I've been trying to learn about the new HQDN3D noise filter that has been put into version 1.17.1.

From what I understand, HQDN3D is a higher quality filter then the denoise3d that was used before. It also uses the same four options as denoise3d as well.

A description of HQDN3D I found is a follows:
http://www.aquilinestudios.org/avsfi...patiotemp.html
HQDN3D stands for "High Quality Denoiser in 3D"; it claims to perform a "3-way low-pass filter" (which probably means some kind of wave transform is involved), aimed at killing noise while keeping blending artifacts low. However, how well it succeeds at this depends on your source and your settings; it seems to do better when the details are strong (by that I mean dark, well-defined edges).

The breakout of the four options of HQDN3D that I've been able to find are the following:
http://akuvian.org/src/avisynth/hqdn3d/hqdn3d.txt
http://ffmpeg.org/libavfilter.html#hqdn3d

It accepts the following optional parameters: luma_spatial:chroma_spatial:luma_tmp:chroma_tmp

luma_spatial: a non-negative float number which specifies spatial luma strength, defaults to 4.0

chroma_spatial: a non-negative float number which specifies spatial chroma strength, defaults to 3.0*luma_spatial/4.0

luma_tmp: a float number which specifies luma temporal strength, defaults to 6.0*luma_spatial/4.0

chroma_tmp: a float number which specifies chroma temporal strength, defaults to luma_tmp*chroma_spatial/luma_spatial

Filter strengths vary from 0 (no filtering) to 255 (there will be nothing left of your video). If any options are omitted, they will assume a value based on any other options that you did specify.
For example, hqdn3d(2) is equivalent to hqdn3d(2,1.5,3,2.25).

Further explanation of the difference between luma and chroma:
http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?...28&postcount=4
The video has two parts, bright/dark and color. The bright and dark part (the intensity level) is called luma and the color part is called chroma. If you try cleaning the luma too much you'll start loosing details in your video. If clean the chroma too much you'll get color banding. Color banding is where the colors won't change smoothly from one to another (like from light blue to a darker blue in the sky) but look like strips or bands of colors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_banding). You can remove a lot more noise from the chroma than from the luma before you start noticing problems.
3D denoise filters work in two ways: they remove noise from each frame and they remove noise by comparing several frames. Removing noise from just one frame is called spatial filtering. Removing noise from several frames in a row is called temporal filtering (temporal means things that have something to do with time).

ls means how much noise to remove from the bright and dark level of each frame by itself
cs means how much noise to remove from the color part of each frame by itself
lt means how much noise to remove from from the bright and dark level of each frame by comparing several frames
ct means how much noise to remove from the color part of each frame by comparing several frames

By default RipBot264 gives you the ability to select the Luma_Spatial and the Chroma_Spatial in increments of 2. The temporal is set to zero for both Luma and Chroma. I don't know setting it to zero means it will use the default temporal settings or none at all, which means it won't compare previous and adjacent frames.

Atak, if it's not using the temporal settings, what are your thoughts behind that. Have you seen it create more snail trails or other such artifacts.

From what I've read, changing the Luma_Spatial will have to biggest influence of changing your video for the worse if it is too high. Atak, maybe changing the options to default .5 increments instead of increments of 2 might be better.

If there are any errors in any of what I've been finding out, please let me know. If there are any idea on how to enhance what I've discovered, also please let me know.

For the record, I've been adjusting the script and just using the single number and letting hqdn3d compute the other variables:
For example: hqdn3d(video,2) is equivalent to hqdn3d(video,2,1.5,3,2.25)

i don't like ghosting effect in temporal mode. experiment a little bit and you will see what i mean.

don't say that you see difference between 1 and 2 . i barelly see difference between 2 and 4

Quick question Atak, not sure if this is a bug or not...

When I select my m2ts file to work with in Ripbot, juts before the demux process...I get to the part where it shows the file info, playlist, movie length, audio stream etc...I realize something must be wrong with my file, because the audio, chapters etc all show 0 (zero). So instead of hitting the "ok" button to proceed with demux, there is not option to abort? I can only choose either "ok" or x out of the option. But when I x out, Ripbot enters into a frozen state of no function. I have to close the program altogether.

Any ideas?

This is the file screen



This is the frozen screen I get when I hit x (only other option is "ok" ...possible to add a cancel button?).

I have an odd glitch with the program. When I try to add a file named "VTS_.VOB", I get the error "Couldn't open input file in HIDE mode! Exiting." Afterwards, the decoding error shows that it was unable to open job1.d2v (because it's not there due to that it wasn't included in the command). The weird thing is that if I simply rename the file to "vts_.VOB" (notice the lowercase), everything works fine. I tried a variety of combinations with the file name:

WORKS-
vts_.VOB
VTS.VOB
XTS_.VOB
XTS_.vob

NOT WORKING-
VTS_.VOB

Using newest 2012-05-05 update, is there anyway to disable the Chapter Modifier?

I understand why you implemented it, but it's causing me nothing but trouble.

Ex. Ripping TV Series "Home Improvement", modifying framerate from 29.970 -> 23.976, it sends the Chapters far outside the running time of the show. Avg running time for the show is around 22-24 mins, but each chapter file ends at around 28-29 mins, also the middle chapters are out of sync. When I use the original chapters file, everything turns out fine.

Since you have identified the problem, and it's not on your end, that's OK for me.
Thanks for your solution.

The x at this point becomes unresponsive...basically ripbot just sits there. I then have to ctrl+alt+del and go into task manager to close ripbot.

used Atak's update and my issue seems to be resolved...not sure if this was a part of any fix, but it did the trick! Thanks.



Oh, and Atak, I upgraded my Q6600 to the i5...average encoding time went from 12 hours to 3 hours!!! insane.

Whenever I get an HIDE error, it's because I'm out of space on the temp drive.

I went from a core2 2.8 to a i7. Wonderful. The final push to upgrade it was RIPBOT!!!!!!!!!
Haven't regretted yet.
