Thanks. If only I knew when my RB updated to it. First video I recall exhibiting flickering frames was mid August.

I believe the x265 version changed too, so you could tell by that if you're encoding into x265.

Newer QTGMC v3.358s
Supports KNLMeansCL as a denoiser and 16B
There are some bug fixes as well but from testing I'm not seeing much of a difference if using just using Medium preset.

I've noticed that in windows 10, running Ripbot in D.E. mode, that windows built-in antivirus and anti-malware is scanning the chunks as they're sent to each server while using L-Smash. And I switched L-smash to ffms2 looks like my encodes are back to acceptable completion times (120-150 fps first pass, 30-34 fps second pass) across 4 PC's

Edit - I would also note all computers, and the bandwidth usage spikes when intercepted by the scanner, scanner does it's thing and then ripbot shows it's encoding and the bandwidth drops to normal 60-110 megabits per second

So I just got hit by the random frames bug and I'm using DE. Seems to happen a couple of seconds after a minute mark for 2-5 seconds. I looked at a 4K and HD encode I did with MDegrain2 and at first glance, it seems fine. I have a 3h:17m source that I ran MDegrain2 on and at the 13 minute mark, random frames occur for about 2-10 seconds. It happens to most of the minute marks after that. Going to run the same source through again without the MDegrain2 and see what happens.

Which decoder are you using? (LSmash or FFMS2)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Also what codec is used in source video?

I typed this wrong. I did a 4K and HD (Godzilla: King of the Monsters) WITHOUT MDegrain and at first glance, it seems fine.

Change default decoders like in this screenshot

I've finally found out why the encoding client couldn't find the index file it was looking for. First, I went back to v 1.24 to confirm my test files hadn't got corrupted since I had already encoded them before with it. Everything worked smoothly and that when I noticed the message "Indexing file, please wait" right after demuxing. I then was able to encode with no problems. Afterwards, I upgraded to 1.25.0, and retested. The message never appeared, only "Gathering information, please wait". Task manager showed ffprobe.exe running. When I tried to run the encoding client, the missing index file message appeared again. I then opened the job folder and spotted IndexStreams.cmd . Running it created the missing index file. For some reason, Ripbot is skipping creating an index file, even when the decoder is set to ffms.

I found another bug in the encoding client. In 1.24, I had 4 servers created in the settings tab and it activated and ran all of them with no problems. In the newest version, I had to manually activate and connect each server. On the plus side, Atak's code improvement actually dropped the cpu usage down to where I could activate a 5th server on my Threadripper.

For the record, my first test file is a game capture with UtVideo as the video codec,1080p60 and PCM as audio. My second file is from my camcorder, with 1080p60 and Dolby 5.1 audio.

Hi Atak,

So I've been assuming something and it came back to bit me and I'm wondering if it is by design or not.

So I make 720p versions of all my 4K/HD sources to store on mobile devices and for streaming. So I normally I just select the "HD Ready 1280x720" option creating the small version. The behavior I just noticed is that it will add borders to make it 16x9 when I have a video that is already cropped.

When I first started doing this, I don't remember it behaving in this way. I thought it was the 1280 or the 720 to scale the video to it's longest dimension. I.e. 2.4:1 - 1920x960 becomes 1280x640 and 4:3 - 1440x1080 becomes 960x720.

Now to get the behavior I want, I have to select Custom [X,XX:1]. It's easier If I select HD Ready first and then select Custom so I don't need to type in the dimension.

Can a option be added to not add borders when resizing video?

[Atak_Snajpera]

use Custom preset with aspect ratio in brackets (for example Custom [2,40:1])

That will only work on sources that are exactly that aspect ratio. I was looking for a more general solution that I can just select HD Ready and it will scale the video appropriately without adding borders that were not there before.

Setting FFMS2 option for HEVC solved all my problems I had when using LSMASH! Thanks Atak for making this available so easily.

Atak, quick question. I purchased a BD of the old Scooby Doo series. I tried to make h265 encodes of the first disc. I normally don't do h265 because my computer is older and takes forever, but these are short episodes so I thought I'd try. I get the following error on each episode.

D:\>"D:\Tools\RipBot264v1.22.0\tools\mkvtoolnix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "D:\S01E02.mkv" --compression 0:none --title "S01E02" --default-duration 0:24000/1001fps "D:\Temp\RipBot264temp\video.265" --chapters "D:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job2\chapters.txt"
mkvmerge v35.0.0 ('All The Love In The World') 64-bit
Error: Unknown chapter file format in 'D:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job2\chapters.txt'. It does not contain a supported chapter format.

These are direct rips from the BD using MakeMKV. I've never once had an issue with that software. Any idea why RipBot doesn't like it? I'm on v1.25.

Edit: I just noticed too that there's no audio picked up in RipBot, even though the file has a stereo track. Could this be another 1.25 bug?
