RipBot264 v1.18.3 - Simple and easy to use GUI -> IPOD . PSP . CONSOLES . BLURAY

[Atak_Snajpera]

Most likely Placebo + CQ mode with insanely low CRF value. I think it would be faster if you just copied entire movie without re-encoding. 33Mbps !?!? Similar bitrate can be found on original BD movies.

[Metaphor]

I'm encoding using the Hi10P, Slower profile with a CRF of 18

For TV shows (Like whats being encoded in that screenshot) I will sometimes not see much of a space savings. Using the same preset with typical movies I'll get a movie that takes up half as much space or better than the original.

Some might think these settings overkill, and they may well be.

What I can say is that using these settings, I have yet to find a source that isnt faithful to the original, and yet still often nets a substantial savings in space. Most of the titles I've encoded with this profile (Now at about 300) are in the 8-15Gb range from their original 20-35GB sources.

When building a reference library, I'll err to the side of caution and conservatism in regards to impacts on image quality over the increase in speed.

Hello,

I've been using ripbot for years now and have never had any problems that I couldn't figure out myself, but I'm completely stomped on my current issue.

I can't get distributed encoding to work with my DVD (.vob) files. It works with everything else I have mkv, m2ts, etc. I have two computers and it works on the host computer but not the remote. The remote server just keeps starting and stopping getting this error.

error: MPEG2Source: Could not open on of the input files.
(\\SIFU-PC\RipBot264temp\job1\Chunks\91.avs, line 6)
x264 [error]: could not open input file`-'

Again distributed encoding works great with my mkv and m2ts files. Can anyone help?

Post the avisynth script.

[sifulee]

Where is the avisynth script located?

I'm running the latest version of RipBot264v1.17.4 on Windows 7-64bit both computers.

Hi Atak,

recently I upgraded to a dual-socket system with two Xeon E5-2470; hence 32 logical cores. While using Ripbot the taskmanager shows that the average cpu usage is round about 25%; regardless the mode (1- or 2-pass).

So maybe you can tell me if there is a limit according the # of cores of if the mistake had to found elsewhere?

Best regards

[Atak_Snajpera]

show us your script

resizer is single threaded hence you most likely have bottle neck.

workaround? use distributed encoding mode with 4 servers.

[Sightus]

@Atak

Well, thanks for your answer; seems I have to do so. Hence, if I would stick to Full-HD there would be a speedup, right? Is there any chance the resizer will become multi threaded?

Best regards

[sifulee]

Any suggestions for my issue?

[Atak_Snajpera]

I would like to see this file \\SIFU-PC\RipBot264temp\job2\Chunks\job2.d2v as well

[BlockABoots]

Hmmm, this program appears to not be working too well Windows 8.1, seems to take much longer 'Gathering information' that what windows 7 did!

[MK1234Tfan]

I was wondering if there is a setting so that ripbot only encodes the file selected from a dvd file and doesn't combine all of the VOB's? I'm trying to get separate episodes encoded as separate files instead of having all of the episodes joined together into 1 continuous mp4.

I'm also having problems selecting language audio. When I preview the video it's using the French voice overs and can't seem to find a way to select which language audio to use.

Thanks!

[Atak_Snajpera]

just rename .vobs and files won't be joined.

try windows 7 codec tweaker by clsid

[MK1234Tfan]

Thanks for the idea. Good app too. Any idea on how to choose English spoken language over French?

[Atak_Snajpera]

have you tried switching audio stream in combobox ?
