Hello,

I have been trying to re-encode a file & RipBot gets through the 1st pass but just hangs afterwards...it will just say: Pass 1...
and never start Pass 2...this has happened while trying to re-encode a file that's like 8.25 GB in size & I'm trying to shrink to 7.95GB in Blu-ray structure to fit on a DL DVD...the video is H.264 (1920x1080, 23.976 fps) & the audio is DTS (768 kbps)
I've tried a .mkv, .ts, .m2ts extensions of the same file w/the same result...the files play fine in VLC, Nero Showtime & WMPC...I've been using RipBot 1.10.7 on a Vista Ultimate 64-bit system & haven't had any problems w/similar files...does anyone have any ideas what could be the problem?? Thanks in advance...

Hello Atak,

Can you please clarify if the program would benefit running on an SSE4 platform as compared to an SSE3 platform (Intel Q8200 / Intel Q6600)?

Thanks.

Penryn is faster clock-for-clock at x264.

But if you're buying a new computer, wait for the Nehalem. My preview Nehalem box tells me that its awesome, but I can't give any numbers right now

I am currently waiting for the Nehalem. Since you can't give any numbers can you maybe tell us if this anandtech preview gives us a good idea about the performance gains?

Yes, that looks about right. However, there will be many places for future optimizations, some of which I am working on right now

Sorry to say even with a lovered bitrate the tvixes can't handle the files. Looks like there is something else in the profile that messes with the tvix.

x264 still crashes for me in Version .8. Using .5 successfully. I suspect something about my Pentium 4 perhaps, as Atak has/tests with a Quad core, but otherwise have tried & failed figure it out.

I have the same issue with my other system which is a P4 WinXP w/SP2. The only difference is I can run 1.10.6. Any version higher than .6 crashes immediately upon encoding.

My primary AMD based system has run every version without problem.

Thanks pb, you have confirmed my suspicions (my P4 is WinXP w/SP3). I hope someone who understands x264 processing options can suggest a fix/workaround for this...?

Which Tvix model(s) are you using?

I have two HD M-6500A. Both are v2 models ( the ones that tvix have updated with heatsinks and such ). I use one for my home cinema with a 108" screen and projector and one for my old fat TV.
One I keep at the last stable firmware ( home cinema ) and the one for the TV I keep up with the latest beta firmwares just to see if they work.

Last try with the .8 profiles. With these settings ( after reading another thread at doom9 about safe limits for limited hardware ) and truning of bpyramid. The problem persists with the tvix as a player.

BufferSize=14745
MaxBitrate=17500

I am using .6 version successfully but I have one Disney Bluray that this one do not handle successfully so I am very keen on finding the problem with the .7 and .8 releases.

I have the tvix 7000,
do you think the firmware update is nescessary .

I have found that my crashing problem is owing to Atak's using a build of x264 for core2 computers, and then specifically it doesn't like the --nal-hrd option. If I use a build optimized for my P4 computer (found in this post) then everything works!

EDIT: According to at least this post from Sharktooth and this post from LoRd_MuldeR using an x264 build made for core2 CPUs and above does not enhance speed and thus unnecessarily reduces compatibility.

If I have a 1920x800 file & just want to keep that resolution w/out stretching the video, is there a line I can add in .avs script to to just add the black bars (add borders)?
Some of the videos that I've converted have looked a little too stretched, it's a little distracting

Near the "remaining time" box there should be a "elapsed time" box.

Or a log at the end with "total encoding time"

Has anyone had any luck using Ripbot for the Popcorn Hour.

I select the Level 4.0 profile and cq22 and the resulting file won't play, when i select it ,it just goes back to the menu

On a side note i have questions about the cq 22

i did Baby Mama with cq22 and resized to 720x384 and the file ended up being only 750mb with a bitrate of 700 , does this seem correct.

i also tried Transformers HD at 1280x720 (just cut a 20 second clip to test) and the result is bitrate of around 5000 but when played on 50" tv it does not look that good

I use RipBot to make videos for my Popcorn Hour A-100. Never had a problem. I also use cq22. But I had been using the old 4.1 profile. Be sure to use the AAC-LC audio.
