because it does not make sense. for instenance have you ever seen stereo ac3 encoded at 384,448,640 kbps. higher bitrate is only useful for streams with more channels.

i was not talking about ac3 but about the 2 channels.

i meant more audio bit rate options for the 2 channels from 32 to 320 kbps just like mp3

why? because you like placebo effect? aac 128kps gives better quality than mp3 192kbps.

More freedom of choice for the bit rate from 32 to 320kbps is so much better than to be limited to only 3 choices (64,96,128 ) for all your videos encoding even if aac 128kps gives better quality than mp3 192kbps.

Ability to use multiple audio tracks would be a handy new feature.

I'm guessing it's to keep ripbot as simple as possible. Less things to go wrong. But you can use mkvmerge, which is included in the ripbot package, to add multiple tracks and it takes just a few seconds.

I see your point a little, but if you really need something that big, why are you bothering with ripbot? The point is to make things smaller.
If you need 320k MP3's, maybe Ripbot might not be right for you.

If you are a 64k MP3 Pro person, this is the game for you.

Ultimately, you can manually go in to the jobs queue and change the number to whatever you want. Just open up the .bat file and go at it.

First, 'I want quality, but if quality drops, that doesn't matter.' Huh?

Anyway, if you use CQ mode with NO filters, you get 100%. If you touch it in anyway, you get 30%. That tells me it's not a System issue, but a program issue. It seems that the x264 encoder doesn't like to use external filters or settings.

CQ mode is actually encoding. First pass, by default, is a fast pass, not an actual encode.

you misread what i said

i said i want quality, but if quality drops, then it doesnt matter.

you took that to mean i dont care if quality drops.


what i meant was if it affects quality it doesnt matter il just leave it as it is

and one has 8 cores, which is always better for encoding
Never noticed any difference, despite having made several times that work with processors with 4 and 6 cores.

i hope that i expressed my thought well

all what i wanted is the whole list of the 2 channels audio bit rates from 32 to 320kbps and not to be limited only to (64,96,128) even if no one going to use 320kbps

i hope i find it in the next release

I totally agree. At least one more language.

Keep up the good work Atak!

I can understand WHY you would want the full list of available bitrates, but it's not going to happen in RipBot. This program is about total simplicity and introducing too many tweaks/bithead options will not stop if something like this request is allowed.

Seriously, if you can do some ABX tests and show that you really need more than 128K on two channel content, that might convince Atak to add more, but until that time it's not gonna happen. Check out the tests of music (much more difficult than effects in movies) at hydrogenaudio.org and tell me you need more than 128K. Maybe, just maybe adding 160 to placate those wanting more, but it's not necessary.

Random Rant

I just have say I love this program. I have some STE WEB-DL's that are 1.5gb and I'm reEcoding them and they are coming out at 500-550mb and check this out, THEY ARE BETTER QUALITY THAN THE ORIGINALs.
Seriously. With a little tweaking of the colors, contrast, and the denoising, they look better at 1/3rd the size. Oh, and I'm correcting the FPS which was at a sqeaky 25fps to 23.976FPS. ALL with Ripbot.

@ Zorro70:

Always unterstand that the encoder can only encode as fast as it receives the uncompressed video it shall process.

What exactly is your source? (MediaInfo analysis please.) Which decoder do you use to decode it for x264, if it is compressed?

If the source is compressed, the bottleneck might be the decoder running in one thread only, or the filtering, before the final video arrives in the encoder.

If the source is completely uncompressed, the bottleneck might be the harddisk, but you will know how many GB per minute you stored.

It may look better, but can't be better. That is the difference between "subjective quality" (how annoying the flaws appear) and "objective quality" (any difference is a loss, no matter if it looks more convenient).

While I understand what you are trying to say about something being recompressed being better, "It may look better, but can't be better." since this is video and it's subjective quality is visual, if it looks better than it is better.

I'll have to investigate that. Sounds like a promising lead. As for the other suggestions, remember that CPU usage only drops when you change the profile away from CQ. Either with filters or by making it two pass. Since with CQ/no filters vs. CQ/filter CPU usage drops from 98% to 30%, that doesn't suggest it's a system bottleneck.

Also at least for me, I'm using the 32bit version. This might different for 64bit.

There is a new version of x264.exe that was released last week. You could try it. Didn't seem to do much for me. CPU usage has increased from a bit more with No increase or real change in FPS.

1) If you believe it looks much better, enjoy. But don't try to measure anything with "quality metrics" – they will call any kind of difference a "quality loss".

2) x264 will probably be the most efficient link in the encoding chain, spreading its efforts across all available CPU cores. If it can't use all of them all the time, then it must have to wait for something else before...

Update. The New x264 file does do better with different settings. I'm using custom settings and NO filters, but I'm rocking 98% CPU so it's better than before.
