Well, without sitting down and doing one I could only guess. I would say that the difference in speed is 10-15%.

I'm going to have to say you're both wrong. the encoding time is going to depend on these main factors:
resolution - 720's will process significantly faster than 1080's
aspect ratio - any low aspect ratios take longer, like 1.85 or 1.78 (there are more pixels to analyze)
movie length - of course the longer the movie the more frames and time to process
You forgot about movie complexity. If scene contains more motion encoding process will also take more time.

That's all well and good except...

So, I guess I'm not wrong

But the length of the movie and, as Atak pointed out, the complexity of the video are also major factors.

Isn't CQ22 higher quality than CQ18? If so, isn't that another way of saying what I said about the higher bitrate?

Because I never use CQ, I really don't have enough experience with it to say, but I have converted hundreds of BDs in 2-pass mode.

No, the lower the CQ value, the higher the bitrate.

That is why CQ18 takes longer than CQ22. It isn't the bitrate directly that causes the longer encode time. By telling the encoder to capture more of the scene fidelity the encoder therefore needs more bits to capture it faithfully. It is the analysis of the movie that requires more time.

ripbot crashes again with windows 7

v 1.15 crahes when i try to start the encoding process.
using windows 7. also , afterwards , i got the bsplayer latest version 2.51 to crash as soon as i used ripbot. i think there must be a conflict with ffdshow for this application and bsplayer . i have to remove ffdshow and reinstall bsplayer to make it to work again . anyhow , ripbot won't encode under windows7
something to do with ffdshow not sure why . used later version and 3171 version .

In my case I have turned my main computer into my server. It stays on pretty much all the time (since I am almost always encoding) and so I just keep stacking drives in it. I am looking at some NAS boxes now, but I just can't justify the expense... yet.
Servers don't need to cost a lot, let me suggest you pick up a cheap Atom Netbook or Nettop and install Amahi Home server on it.

http://www.amahi.org/
I have been using it for approx 2 Years and it is the best server software bar none, it's free, very simple to setup and use and extremely versatile, it even supports DLNA.

I store my video on external USB hardrives which means I can keep adding storage forever practically and easily transfer them should I decide to upgrade it

Much better than most off the shelf solutions, I couldn't live without it.

That's some interesting software...I'm curious about what the Web GUI looks like and how easily I could download my files remotely. I wouldn't really use the VPN because I just want a box I can leave on 24/7 with RAID 5 or 6 that houses all of my media. I guess it just depends on your needs.

Can you elaborate? What exactly happens when it "crashes?"

Application Name: x264_x86.exe.
i posted the log above few replies if you look back . avisynth is the application in the log crashing . but i removed and reinstalled without any result. this is really frustrating . i am using bsplayer 2.51 with its own codecs . but i noticed fddshows changes when i use ripbot and bsplayer crashes afterwards.
this should be simple. installation . was working under xp . but another beast under windows 7 .32bits
this is really frustrating as i can't understand why when following simple guidelines of install . i get this crap .
and i an not a pc geek on ffdshows and other codecs use .

After 50/50 failed attempts with HDCOnvertX >>> Converting an VC-1 .mkv into an .mpg .mkv ... failed at 99.9% with incorrect framecounts, I gave the newest RipBot a crack at it. I haven't used RipBot for about 6 mos ...

Worked flawlessly on my VC-1 .mkv BR rip. Converted it to .mp4 in about 9 hours. Trying a couple other failed attempts now. Very happy right now.

this application help seriously suck big time and it is frustrating

all i can read in this forum , for most is only applied to discuss about tech stuff to show how better one is to the other .
i am not an encoding genius , but i knnow how to follow the guideline . this should be simple. on windows 7. 86x , i should after install in a folder , be able to encode simply.
for most of us , we do not know much about tech stuff and are completely helpless when weird stuff happens .
i was using this program with windows xp with no problem. i use version 1.15. and all i get is a crash of the application each time at the start encoding .
i was trying to encode a mkv to another smaller mkv. worlks great with xp . but here all i get at this point is the application crashing. and i show the log in my first post here . all i get is avisynth.
why and what the heck that means .tried reinstalling . no change .
this is pure crap and it should not be so complicate as to use this thing . unless it is for certain video geeks and limited use .

When I try to convert videos, the 1st one converts fine, but the rest that follow will be scrambled/corrupt and the size is not what I selected (480x360). but larger, and it seems as if the video has multiple copies of the video in it, and there are green lines and shades through it. I have done a clean install of Windows 7, and tried installing just RipBot264 with the files/codecs that it needs, but the problem persists.

If I restart my computer, and try to convert videos again, the 1st one will convert fine, after which the rest will be weird like that again.

I am running Windows 7 Pro x64, Version 6.1 Build 7600 (winver.exe), which I got from school through msdn academic alliance. It is running on an i7 920 4.0GHz, 6GB RAM, and an ATI HD 4890 1GB with the latest drivers (catalyst 10.2).

After reading through the posts, I have to say that I am a very novice user, but any help/suggestions would be appreciated. If there are any other info that I can provide which may help home in on the solution, just let me know.

Thanks.

This video was supposed to be resized to 480x360
