Depends on what decoding and/or encoding filters you want to use...

?? I found the new scripts in custom script instead of Denoise, is that OK? Quote:

Hi, long time RipBot user here. Really great program. Thank you for your unwavering dedication and generosity.
I have a question regaring the entries in the audio PROFILE dropdown list. Can these default entries be changed or new ones added? I constantly need to use either 576kbps or 512kbps for 5.1 and 384kbps for 2.0 AC3, so I'm always forced to look for the job's jobX_EncodeAudio1.cmd and edit the file in manually after each set up. It's pretty time consuming even for a single job, especially since the .cmd file resets every time you re-open the job in RipBot for any reason, and the program gives an error if you try to mark the file as read only. And the worst part is that if you're doing size-locked 2-pass encoding, you have to estimate the size difference of the audio file manually and manually deduct the extra megabytes from the total. All in all, the lack of these entries is a major inconvenience in my daily RipBot usage. If modifying the profile entries via config or something isn't possible, could you please consider adding 5.1 512, 5.1 576, and 2.0 384 kbps to the default AC3 profiles list? Not sure about other users, but I really use these three A LOT. ---------------------------- P.S.: Since the forum enforces a mandatory 5-day posting block after registering, I came up with some additional things to say by the time I was able to post: 1) Why does Preview Script sometimes open several preview windows when clicked multiple times, and sometimes only one? I often would like to preview multiple denoise or crop settings, to quickly compare quality and so on. When I try clicking on Preview Script, sometimes I do get several job#_preview.avs MPC-HC pop-ups open, but usually I do not. Since the preview player has "Open a new player for each media file played" setting turned on, I'm assuming that RipBot checks if a preview window is already running and prevents opening another one if it does. 1b) Speaking of the preview popup, you may want to go to the settings of ...\Tools\mpc\mpc-hc64.exe, and set "Store settings in .ini file" (in Player->Other) to true. This way, it'll keep the default settings you want to use in the same folder as the exe without reading custom settings from actual installations of MPC-HC. I happen to use MPC-HC separately, and RipBot's preview exe had been using my custom settings (FFDshow filters, custom saturation and contrast, etc.) in its previews until I disabled it. 2) As another potential feature request, please consider separating the "Temp Files" path setting into something like "Jobs Temp Files" and "Encoding Temp Files". As an example why it could be very useful, I use a temp RAM-based drive that wipes with every restart. I would very much like to have my jobs files be kept on an SSD (since I want to keep them until I remove them manually), and temporary video.265 encoding files go to the RAM drive, since these files are much more write-intensive and they get auto-deleted after muxing to "Default Output Path" anyway. In short, RAM drives are perfect for temporary encoded tracks but not for jobs files. The ability to split the two into separate locations would help a lot. That's pretty much it. I realize that you're probably flooded with requests, so regardless of your answer, once again, thank you very much. |

Do you use Distributed Encoding ??? (you can use this one only 1 PC, can speed things up a little) Unless you are using certain filters (KNLMeansCL) that require a powerful GPU, you really don't need anything too special, unless you're doing 4K, and have a 4K monitor.

OMFG, that is SO much better, that would be worth a long encode, for that transformation...well done !!! edit:- So like I said, I downloaded these to have a look for myself, and I also decided to "test" the (new to me) MDegrain scripts that Atak kindly provided, and I loaded the file 3 times, each with a different MDegrain script, and then when I went to encode, it started to process the chunks and the it errored, stating it couldn't find something in the job folder.....so I checked it Mediainfo, and was surprised to see the frame rate Video ID : 1 ID in the original source medium : 4113 (0x1011) Format : HEVC Format/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding Format profile : Main 10@L5.1@High HDR format : SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible Codec ID : V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC Duration : 7 min 24 s Bit rate : 50.0 Mb/s Width : 3 840 pixels Height : 2 160 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate mode : Variable Frame rate : 380.645 FPS Original frame rate : 23.976 (24000/1001) FPS So the only thing I could think of was to run it thru Handbrake to bring it down a touch (60fps), loaded it back into RB, away we go... BTW, how long did it take to encode the MDegrain3 sample ??

P.S. I noticed awhile back someone mentioned the scaling issue with cores. To take care of this run multiple copies of the encoding server - problem solved! You can even set core affinity I think but I haven't found the need. |

I use 576kbps for a specialized case, but speaking more broadly, it's a size-related limitation. Here are some common use scenarios that I think could apply to other users besides me: With longer tracks, higher bitrate audio can take up too much space even when compressed. I very often use 512-576 as a compromise between being forced to go lower than 640 but without the somewhat noticeable quality loss of 448. For example, I have a 5GB DTSMA track in queue right now that encodes to 904MB at 640kbps, 814MB at 576kbps, 723MB at 512kbps, and 633MB at 448kbps, so jumping from 448 to 640 is almost 50% in size difference. Having an option to pick an intermediate step between these two is often very useful, especially when recordable media sizes are fixed but track lengths can vary greatly. For stereo it's a bit different case. Here I usually use it in a situation where I prefer the best quality I can afford. So I want at least 320kbps, close to the highest level supported by the MP3 standard, but I often go with an overkill of 384kbps since I want as little quality loss as possible and the difference in size is relatively negligible. Again, an easy, generalized example where 320kbps would make a lot of sense is one of those old concerts from the 80s and 90s that were often recorded in stereo. I have a 1.2GB FLAC track right now that encodes to 526MB at 384kbps, and 351MB at 256kbps. So if I want to save space at virtually no quality loss, 320/384kbps seems like a no-brainer compromise. Hope I'm making some sense. By the way, what did you think of the idea of separating Jobs folder from Temp Files, to allow redirecting temporary "video.265" output to a RAM drive? I don't think it would have a noticeable effect on encoding times, but it would definitely make the lives of our SSDs easier. |

I'm chasing some annoying, random drop out's...some days I have no problems, and other days, it's a PITA mess, and I haven't changed anything.
What does this mean :- [2019-12-03 15:57:53] TCPClient7 raised exception while attempting to sent command.(Not Connected) [2019-12-03 15:57:53] TCPClient8 raised exception while attempting to sent command.(Not Connected) I also got this :- Invalid pointer operation (Doubt they are related, though.)

All the NIC's are onboard (built in, but still could be faulty.) All the cables are pretty new, (again, they could be faulty.) No WiFi !! The weird thing about it is, one day I can have an almost faultless encoding "session", and other days are just crap, and I don't get much done , and the fact that I haven't changed anything, adds to the frustration.

I have my main pc's connected to a 24 port switch, using those flat Cat 6 cables (admittedly I have had some trouble with some), then that switch is connected to an 8 port switch in another room, using your "run of the mill" blue round cable, then from that 8 port to the server pc, using flat cable again. I will give setting then down to 100Mb a try, and because it's so random, a ping would probably not detect a problem. The connection failures happen randomly during the encode, if you keep an eye on the Encoding Client, a "chunk" will just stop processing, if you stop it, more often than not is will start and complete without issue. Frustrating to diagnose

So how come the frame rate is so high ?? edit:- so as you are a regular user of MDegrain filters, (and I'm sure you're using DE), does it take a long time for each chunk to start processing ???
