This happens with all mp4s, and only with mp4s. If i throw mkvs at it, it works fine. I took a look at the mp4getinfo.cmd that gets created in the job folder, and there is an issue with it (at least with it, havent checked others). The command it runs, if i run it at the command line, outputs its result to the console, not the file. If i add "2>&1" at the end of it, then it sends its output to the file. I assume the info.txt file is then created from info taken from the mp4info.txt file, and this is the root cause of the problem.

Example:
(from mp4getinfo.cmd)
"D:\Desktop\RipBot264\Tools\mp4box\mp4box.exe" -info "E:\OldJ\conv\FILE.mp4" >> "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\mp4info.txt"

results in a 0 byte mp4info.txt (and a missing info.txt).

but running instead
"D:\Desktop\RipBot264\Tools\mp4box\mp4box.exe" -info "E:\OldJ\conv\FILE.mp4" >> "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\mp4info.txt" 2>&1

creates a proper mp4info.txt file.

Apparently mp4box is outputing to stderr instead of stdout, even if its normal output (there is no error, the file is perfectly fine).

Again, this happens on ALL mp4 files i throw at it. I'm running the program as downloaded from the first post. This did not happen with 1.20.1.

Thanks for a great piece of software.

I've had issues with info file before, as a temporary work around and maybe some insight to the issue, try:
Go into the AviSynth settings for an encode, Click okay, don't need to change anything.
This will trigger the regenerating of the info.txt. See if that makes the info file for you.

Trying to do some HDR encoding, but your AVS script is killing it. Event though I choose Main10 and add these extra settings for x265 "--hdr --hdr-opt --colorprim "bt2020" --transfer 16" you are using "colorspace="YV12" in your AVS file after the ffindex file.
If I run the AVS file with the above colorspace it outputs 8 bit:

E:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\job1.avs: 3840x1608, YV12, 8-bits, progressive, 24000/1001 fps, 192703 frames

But If I remove colorspace conversion it outputs 10 bit and my HDR is working.
E:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\job1.avs: 3840x1608, YUV422P10, 10-bits, progressive, 24000/1001 fps, 192703 frames

But how can I turn this off in Ripbot, at the moment I have to do some manuel steps to get it working?

Update: Also had to set this parameter for AVS2YUV to preserve YUV422P10 (or else it got converted to YUV420p10). Parameter: -csp I422

Any chance to have HDR -> SDR conversion incorporated?

I did as you suggested, and the info.txt gets created after opening and closing the avisynth settings. Then, when the process actually starts, its gone and the same error happens.

Thank you for your time,

Edit: Ripbot picked up a new update today, 1.21.1, and this has fixed my problem. Cheers!

Would the new chunk support in HEVC Version 2.6+ possibly help RipBot?
Quote:
Basic support for segmented (or chunked) encoding added with --vbv-end that can specify the status of CPB at the end of a segment. String this together with --vbv-init to encode a title as chunks while maintaining VBV compliance!
http://x265.readthedocs.io/en/default/releasenotes.html

Thought about it more, I guess this would only help if not doing anything with AVISynth?

Doesn't matter if source is AviSynth or not.

I suppose it wouldn't matter if you cut the video into chunks for AVISynth, mux it all back together then let HEVC to do its own thing for DE mode, but I don't know how feasible that is right now.

Black video

Hi, I'm experiencing something interesting after reloading my PC. I am running the latest version and installed the pre-reqs. I can encode blu-ray to mkv just fine but the output gives me a black screen with audio... I can use VLC to play it fine but other players won't display the video stream!

Thanks!

What other players? Are you encoding to HEVC or AVC 10 bit and your system codecs don't support it (but VLC does because it has its own decoders built-in)?

The built in windows 10 tv & movies app. It's always worked before and I was under the impression that MS had included h.265 support. I can play all of the older video files I've encoded so I'm wondering if I missed a prerequisite program or if something needs to be updated in windows... I'm encoding HEVC like I've always done, I'll double check my settings to make sure nothing was changed though.

Ripbot not working after upgrade to 1.21.1

Edit - Fixed this myself... I had to download the full 64 bit AviSynth+ installer from Videohelp, and install that.. I assume that it probably made some change to the registry.



I have Ripbot264 working on 3 of 4 PC's, but I cannot figure out what is wrong with the 4th PC...

All settings are the same, I even tried deleting the Ripbot, AviSynth and AviSynth+ folders, and copying my Ripbot, and AVISynth folders from a working PC to the non-working PC and still nothing...

If I try to run Ripbot standalone on the problem PC, it completes demuxing the audio stream, but while Demuxing the video stream I see Decoding Error. (but there is no indication anywhere what this error is)

And if I try running the Encoding Server (it displays the AviSynth version at the bottom as AviSynth+ 0.1(r2508, MT, x86_64) but I get the following error when I click the ON button for that server from the primary PC

Encoding started...
""\\primary\Ripbot264temp\tools\avs2yuv\avs2yuv.exe" -seek 118 "\\primary\RipBot264temp\job1\Chunks\42.avs" -o - | "\\primary\Ripbot264temp\tools\x265\x265_x64.exe" --crf 22 --fps 24000/1001 --min-keyint 24 --keyint 240 --frames 2690 --sar 1:1 --profile main10 --output-depth 10 --y4m --output "\\primary\RipBot264temp\job1\Chunks\42.265" -"
error: failed to load avisynth.dll
x265 [error]: unable to open input file <->

Encoding terminated.
Connection Closed Gracefully.


I am assuming that both problems are probably being caused by AviSynth... but no idea how to fix it. Any ideas?

Everything was working fine before I updated to the latest version.

Did you install the Visual C++ 2015 redistributable? I believe I had the same issue until installing it...

Hello Atak

I ran into an issue that sometimes even when job has AR of 4:3, the resulting video ends up being 16:9

Here is job.ini

it clearly says 4:3 or 1,33:1

any idea how to resolve this in batch mode?

I strongly recommend to keep original resolution. Upscaling DOES NOT magically add details to image like in C.S.I. show. You are just artificially increasing bitrate/filesize big time! Upscalers in TVs are already very good so upscalling before encoding makes zero sense in 2017.

PS. 1440x1080 in Blu-Ray , HDTV or Camcorder world is always 16:9, therefore RipBot264 automatically uses 16:9 aspect ratio.

original files are mpeg2 with huge bitrate, file size is 900-1000MB, re-encoded files end up looking better (thanks to noise removal) and are 200-300mb, so both bitrate and filesize drops.

Anyway, how can I stop it from assuming and actually just follow the correct AR?

Bitrate will be even lower if you keep original 720x480.
