Okay after messing around with OpenCL.dll files on the third machine (System and SysWOW64) and using the Microsoft link you provided. I could not get the OpenCL.dll unregistered to then re-register it per the link instructions. Gave me the same error unable to load. So I extracted a opencl.dll file from a backup that was two months old and copied it over. Tried to unregister it and it gave me another error "the module "openCL" was loaded but the entry-point DllUnregisterServer was not found". BTW I also updated the NvIdia Drivers on both Machines.

So I decided to try encoding and now Both Nvidia Machines are giving me this error. Mind you I only messed with the third machine. The AMD Machine is chugging along without an issue.

I think I know where the problem is.

It looks like x264 by default stores x264_lookahead.clbin file in current working directory. So in our Distributed Encoding case .clbin file should be written in \\Server-PC\RipBot264temp\Job1\Chunks

Of course this is totally unacceptable because multiple x264 processes try to write to the same file! In your case AMD and nVidia OpenCL compiler.

Please verify my theory and let me know where x264_lookahead.clbin file is stored on your main machine while using distributed encoding mode. I can't do it on my machine because my GPU just died and thanks to miners new decent ones (RX570) are too expensive for me right now.

Okay I found that the file resides on the Main PC (Server-PC) in
c:\ripbot264v1.19.2.. Disregard the folder name as I am using ribbot264 v1.20.0 and haven't gotten around to rename the folder. I did a complete search and that is the only place I found it with a file date of 8/5/2017 11:02 AM which was 7 minutes ago and a file size id 953 KB.
Hope that helps

Add --opencl-bin %TEMP%\x264_lookahead.clbin to your encoding profile



This command should tell x264 encoder to create .clbin file locally on each PC working in DE mode.

I have a issue with distributed encoding on one PC.

From the Encoding Client I can start and stop the server, but it doesn't connect.
When I click ON on Client, the server gives me this message:

Encoding Started...

Encoding terminated.

And the Encoding status keeps changing from Idle to Encoding to Idle it just keeps blinking.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Something is wrong with shared folder. Check if you can manually open \\Your-Main-PC\Ripbot264temp folder from server's side.

[Shrekage]

any idea what "missing library" I need to add to this system? it's a hyper-v server 2012 system that I would like to "borrow" the spare cycles on to help do encodes. I can access the shared folder but it gets into the "encoding" "idle" "encoding"... loop with the error message attached.

I don't know why I've this error message, the dll isn't missing, the path is good, but nothing works the last two days...



In same time, why use the x86 on x64 machine for this plugin ?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Install ALL (x86 and x64) VC++ redistributables since 2010
For your convenience I've gathered them all in single .7z archive
http://www.mediafire.com/file/v8cwed...g/vc_redist.7z

Because AviSynth is x86. You can't mix architectures.

Thank you, everything works now, you rocks

Ok, completely forgot this point

Thank you for your time and your help

[Shrekage]

Nice update!

[MAX9]

I can't find answer to my problem so I will ask here.
I'm tryint to use Ripbot with Vegas 13 pro + Frameserver and I have anamorphic source (1440/1080; PAR 1,3333; 25i) When I use default settings the output file is displayed in AS 4:3. When I try to change resize option program freeze. What to do video to be displayed properly?

(sory for bad english)

I have had the same problem using Vegas + Frameserver since the auto-crop was updated(1.19.6).
I maintain version 1.19.5 for use with Vegas + Frameserver.

There is an issue with mplayerc.exe. For some unknown reason It does not terminate when user closes window. RipBot264 will unfreeze if you manually kill mplayerc.exe.

I have had the same problem using Vegas + Frameserver since the auto-crop was updated(1.19.6).

Auto-crop works fine in 1.20.0 with Vegas + Frameserver. I've just tested it.

[MAX9]

But still how to deal with anamorphic video? Change project settings in Vegas to 1920/1080 and PAR 1,0000 or resize in Ripbot or ? First option works, but my thought does is optimal?

Another question what color to use in Frameserver? Far as I know Vegas use RGB, right?


Killing mplayerc.exe works to me.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Personally I would leave everything in Vegas untouched (1440x1080). Set 1920x1080 in ripbot because scaling will be faster thanks to ResampleMT plugin. (multithreaded resampling)

[soneca]

Atak, I've just run a test and continue to freeze RipBot, even killing mplayerc.exe.

It has to be some problem with frameserver plugin. To be honest I've experienced that issue with not closing mplayerc.exe on one HDV 1080i source once. However when I chose different file in Vegas for example AVC 1920x1080i and started frameserving everything went fine. Nevertheless auto-croping in 1.20.0 always works because I restored old method if new one fails.

Another question what color to use in Frameserver? Far as I know Vegas use RGB, right?

Use RGB24. Do not use conversion to YUY because it will only mess up colors. Frameserver is doing poor job there. Also another advice regarding interlaced footage. DO NOT USE BUILD-IN DEINTERLACING in VEGAS because it sucks! It is ultra primitive and ugly. For best quality activate QTGMC in ripbot264. (yes it will be slooow)

Many thanks for the info. At the moment I encode at 7 fps / sec, almost default settings only resize to 1920/1080 and don't deintelace. And at the momnet I'm not sure do I need to deinterlace but next job i will try QTGMC.

[Atak_Snajpera]

It depends if you are working with interlaced footage or not.

You wrote earlier

and I have anamorphic source (1440/1080; PAR 1,3333; 25i)

so I assumed that deinterlacing might be required
