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

[dzirkelb]

Forgive me, but where do I do that at?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Audio section? Square button with three dots? I don't know... You will have to figure out something.

[illestdomer2005]

I think the computer parts industry owes Atak a cut. How many of us have built new computers as a result of HD transcoding? :) Thanks again for all your work, Atak!

Ahh yes, I see it now, much appreciated!

Quick question. It says "Please Wait ...Converting TrueHD to FLAC..." on the bottom of the screen; however, I am able to change selections and click "done", even though that message is there.

Do I need to wait for this to disappear before clicking "done"? I only ask because when it demuxes, it shows a % completion, and everything is greyed out during that process.

Edit

nevermind, it finished the conversion and I will now start the process, thanks for all of your help!

I'll leave my post here in case someone else runs across the same question

[bigggt]

Thanks Atak for the new version.

[gauravfzd]

I love this software for converting videos in mkv. I ripped many videos using ripbot but now Ripbot doesn't works. When I choose a video to rip in ripbot nothing happens. I can only see a window of new job and nothing else. The next step was, I suppose demultiplexing audio stream. When I delete the file ripbot264.ini and start the application, the audio demultiplexes but again nothing happens. I cannot choose destination file type and quality setting. Please help..................................................
I am using Windows 7 in my laptop with 1gb of RAM. Thanks....

[mpamphs70]

I wonder, will there be support for blue ray 3ds?
I mean, will it be possible to demux a blue ray 3d movie and then encode it in 2d or 3d format?

[liquidskin76]

maybe someday atak will succumb to our pleas and allow full hd track muxing =)

Many thanks for the new version atak. Keep up the great work.

Regarding retaining hd audio tracks, yes please is all i can say! Still not sure why it isn't being implemented? It's a legit feature which many other encoders have now.

It's a compliment to atak and ripbot that despite the above fact, we still remain with ripbot and don't defect!

Go on atak, put us out of our misery on v1.16.5! :)

[jimmain]

hey atak,

:thanks:

thanks for the new version, it's great to see.
I second that: please put us out of our misery in 1.16.5.

Most of us realise that FLAC is lossless and has better compression than THD or DTSMA. I am still mesmerised by the blinking lights on my decoder. I would like to be able to mux in the dtsma or thd tracks without conversion to FLAC - though keeping this an option is essential.

Shot for creating the best gui by far.

Cheers
Jim

[Alfeuss]

Now that MPCHC decodes blu-ray sup files. I would like to see that direct mux of sup files included in next version. will donate to have that option. have been doing manually all this time. including imbd url,and sup files as attachments, after encode. hows $20.00 sound? just from me. thx for the work you have been doing.
I have to admit.... Im getting used to paying for usefull apps in market, since android started taking over in smart phones\tablets.

[Blackwalker]

thx a lot for the new version!! :)

[dzirkelb]

In regards to the HD audio requests, is this coming from a non .mkv source? I have never had any issues compressing an already ripped .mkv file, and, the rip keeps the HD audio (my receiver lights up like it would if I put the blu ray in directly saying "HD Audio" or the like).

I did have an issue with one format, which was corrected in last release...or, are you guys referring to that issue?

[gauravfzd]

Does ripbot works under Win7? if yes please help me and solve my problem in the post #9007 on page 451...

you can link to your posts ya know: http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1474534&postcount=9007
of course ripbot works in win 7 =)
it sounds like it stops on gathering information?
usually, with my personal experience, this is a codec (FFDShow) problem. a full uninstall / reboot / reinstall may fix it. however you may want to search the thread, I know others have found other solutions.

HD audio doesn't usually work out so well in .mkv
most people have bluray source, not .mkv.
are you sure you actually have and keep HD audio though (DTS-HDMA or TrueHD)? sounds a bit weird...I may have to test that myself

I'll tell what I do know, and what my process has been.

1) Rip a blu ray using makemkv. I check the hd audio only for the audio track, and uncheck everything else during the burning process. I play this file on my htpc and it outputs HD audio as evident by the light lighting up on my Denon 4311 AVR.
2) I then open ripbot, select the same mkv as teh source, change the CQ to 18, leave the audio as X-Copy stream, and convert. About 6 hours later, I check the compressed file, and the light on my receiver lights up again.

I can definately tell when no HD audio is being used when I compare the same source together. I can output the same compressed mkv in a different player, one that does not bitstream, and then compare it to the one I ahve set up to bitstream, and there is a noticable difference when the HD audio is being outputted.

That's why I was wondering why everyone was talking about ripbot not being able to do HD audio, as I always have been able to.

Ripbot does not let you keep the original HD Audio track. So if you create an mkv with RipBot you do not get to keep the original DTS(MA) or TrueHD track. You can either keep as FLAC, core, AC3, or AAC

[dzirkelb]

All of that jazz confuses me a little bit, the FLAC, core, AC2, or AAC. But, to show I'll show ya what the mediainfo shows me after I do a compression with an HD audio mkv rip. this is a rip / compression of The Blind Side, it is compressed down to 7.85gb:

I just tested this (I put a DTS-HDMA track into an mkv and added to ripbot)
ripbot demuxed the track from the mkv and generated the job screen
It references the demuxed track and has a copy stream option
I checked the demuxed track itself, it is in fact still DTS-HDMA (i.e. not wav or flac or dts core)
so dzirkelb is correct, if you have HD audio in an mkv ripbot will allow you to copy it

on a side note the 'gathering information' seemed to take forever, and I don't have have a slow pc
guess it had something to do with the 26GB VC-1 track

[pacaveli211]

another note...if you browse to and select the demuxed audio track, it will just extract the core =P

This has always been the case for me, at least for the last year.

That being said, however, I had some issues with a couple movies that this would not work for. Here is an example of one that I had do to the FLAC for it to work (of my 150ish movie collection on my htpc, I had to do this for about 5).

I think all TrueHD ones I couldn't do.

[pacaveli211]

dzirkelb....I do have another question for you
how did you get your HTPC to output HD audio
as far as I know software won't play/output HD audio
especially WMP/Media Center

[dbone1026]

dzirkelb....I do have another question for you

What makes you think that? With the correct hardware (i.e. AMD 5xxx/6xxx GPU, Clarkdale/Sandy Bridge, NVidia 430/450) it is easy to bitstream HD audio. I use FFDShow + MPC HC (http://www.mediasmartserver.net/2010/02/02/guide-setting-up-bitstreaming-with-your-windows-7-htpc-part-i/). Same goes for WMC as long as you shut off MF, etc...

[dzirkelb]

dbone's guide is actually what I just *switched* to. I switched to that guide so I can bitstream HD audio using XBMC. Before I used shark codec pack and wmc classic.

All you need to do is either follow the guide above, or, download the latest windoes media player classic, download the latest shark codec pack, and then download mediabrowser. Install WMPC, install shark codec pack (tick the option for "use shark's recommended settings" after install), install mediabrowser (integrates with windows media center) and you are off.

I just switched to XBMC to give custom built intros to every movie, and I like the interface a littele better.

And, like dbone also said, you must have the correct hardware. I am using a MD 5570 and it works like a charm. For other GPU's, there will have to be different steps taken I'm sure.

[pacaveli211]

cool, I don't actually have an HTPC ( hardware bluray player ftw =P )...but I know people who do
I'll pass along that guide, thanks

[pacaveli211]

anyone have any trouble with encodes doing like a frame shift kinda thing
this only applies to bluray players as it doesn't ever seem to have the issue (in the same place) on pcs
and seems to only happen in the movies that have heavy compression (i.e. bd9's but not bd25's)
this is something like what happens: http://i51.tinypic.com/2qco7wi.png
(this is just something I made, not a true snapshot of the issue, since it doesn't happen on PC)
it'll do this and then video playback halts for a few seconds...then resumes a few seconds ahead after skipping some video
anyone ever run into this / have any idea of the cause and/or a solution??
anyone know the answer / have a suggestion on this???

[Ajax_Undone]

Hey Atak thanks for the updates bro. Have one question though. Why doesn't your program handle the *.mpeg extension? Its just a little bug Ive noticed. Almost half of the material I encode comes in under that extension. Seems kinda a bother to have to rename everything.

Anyhow great job.

[liquidskin76]

Just tested a DTS-HD MKV (output from MakeMKV), and i can confirm the copy stream option was there for the audio!

However, also tested a TrueHD MKV (again, from MakeMKV), but didn't even get audio. Just vid.

Wonder if this is a work in progress from atak? Just about to test a DTS-HD m2ts to see if it also works.

Cheers

[EDIT:] I see. From m2ts, I get the wave, flac, and core options so can't test. It appears when selecting MKV as source, it skips the select stream screen.

[pacaveli211]

it's not a work in progress. it just seems to be a minor....overlook. I'm guessing that ripbot just assumes mkv's wouldn't have dts-hd and so it just demuxes without really checking.

[Ronski]

Thanks for the new version, spent a couple of hours this afternoon trying to work out how to convert a HD WTV file, only to later find Ripbot now supports WTV files.

But I have a problem.

Ripbot only extracts a 2 channel audio stream, when the WTV has a 6 channel stream, in fact I think there are more than one stream in there - see Green Button link below.

Here's the demux log

Done.

If you read this thread (http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/t/82765.aspx) (theres only 3 pages), which I was reading earlier before finding out that Ripbot supports WTV it will shed some light on the problem.

I dragged the WTV file into Graphstudio, but it only showed 2 channel, even though I know this file is 5.1.

Following the advice in the Greenbutton thread I changed the settings in Media Center to English (MCE Settings:TV:Audio), then again dragged the WTV file to graphstudio, it now showed 6 channels.

http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv87/Ronskiman/Computer/GraphStudio.jpg

Now I again tried Ripbot, but it still only extracted the 2 channel audio.

Any ideas how to get the 5.1 audio?

[benjyv]

Does this new version work under win 7 64 bit ??

I'm gona install this new windows and I wanna know if Ripbot is compatible with..

Thanks !!!

of course ripbot works in win 7 =)

OK ,but under 64 bit ???

...and a question for Atak : this version ( 64bit) will help or allow Ripbot to encode faster ???
some friends of mine told me that many softs are working faster under win7 64bit

[dzirkelb]

With regards to FLAC and TrueHD tracks, I am having issues.

I select the movie, it demuxes, and shows no audio. I then select the .thd file and it does it's thing, then it is ready to go. I start the conversion; however, when it says it is completed, the output file is nowhere to be found.

I just tried doing two seperate ones, one outputting to my "G" drive, and one outputting to my desktop. Both results were, it took the regular 5ish hours to do it's thing, but at the end, no file was visible / created.

Any ideas?

You are right. I use mkvmerge with special switch to check what kind of audio streams are inside mkv file. Unfortunately / fortunately mkvmerge does not see difference between plain dts and dts-ma. Both are flaged as A_DTS and therefore dtsma has .dts extension instead of .dtsma.

This is the log file from the last movie I tried to compress with FLAC.

Here is the contents of job2.avs

I'm not sure this matters, or why this happens, but the installation of ripbot is in my c:\program files(x86) folder. But, my temp files are located in g:\temp, and sometimes located in f:\temp. G and F are two hard drives I have added to my computer.

The majority of the time, I tell the output of ripbot to be in G or F to avoid having to trasnfer the file after the compression. I have tried sending the output file to F, G, and my local desktop and none of them worked.

The file itself is always located in my D drive (a 2nd partition of my 750gb hard drive, 100gb is the system drive C partition). I do not think I have tried outputting the file to the D drive yet for FLAC compressions.

You will have to wait for newer version then or use COPY STREAM option instead for now

[dzirkelb]

The COPY STREAM isn't an option when using FLAC. I always use the COPY STREAM when compressing all other videos, including all other HD audio movies; however, TrueHD is the only format I require to use FLAC on. And, when I use FLAC, the option to do COPY STREAM is not allowed. And, to make sure I am looking in the right place, this would be located under the Profile drop down, correct? if so, the entire drop down box is greyed out when doing FLAC.

Does this new version work under win 7 64 bit ??

I'm gona install this new windows and I wanna know if Ripbot is compatible with..

Thanks !!!



OK ,but under 64 bit ???

...and a question for Atak : this version ( 64bit) will help or allow Ripbot to encode faster ???
some friends of mine told me that many softs are working faster under win7 64bit

I've been running Win7 64 bit since the beginning without issue. A review of previous posts will show that Ripbot is not 64 bit software and requires 32 bit version of Java (or ffdshow, I forget which one). All that a 64bit version of an operating system does for you is allow you to address memory sizes of 4GB and up (which means you can load more programs into RAM). Where this comes in as an advantage to Ripbot is that Ripbot uses x264 and x264 has a 64bit version that is reported to run at least 10% faster (my guess is because it can load more into memory at any given time).

Since Ripbot is not an "Installed" program, then there is no harm in trying to run it on your 64bit O/S since it is run from its own directory and nothing else is installed other than Ripbot's prerequisites (i.e. Java, ffdshow, Halli, etc.). Windows 7 also has options to run a program as if it were running under an older O/S as well.

I really hope you don't think it's that simple or that's the only thing an x64 OS can do vs an x86

hi atak, would you be so kind as to add an option to rip to 6 channel wav. it would remove an extra out of the way step to import into surcode. many thanks, love the program.

[Ajax_Undone]

New installer just released. Sorry for the delay. I added a couple of things to this one. mainly a sub-folder in the start menu that gives access to tools not readily available because of location in the program files folder. I might be adding a shell that gives access to all the command line tools later but for now this should do... Enjoy... Oh yeah also includes a stable build of AVISynth MT...

Not at all, but it's an easy way for non-techies to get the main jist of x64 over x86 without getting too in-depth. :)

Hi there! Few questions:

I was wondering, what does the CRF should be when encoding BD movies? I know lower is best quality / biger size. But should i go under 18 for a max quality? Or its not worth it? The option (Low Priority) on the ripbot, what does it do? And can ripbot convert TrueHD and DTS to AC3 600? Im talking about only the audio, no video. Thanks!

This is an excellent update for new users for sure! It makes it very easy to do the install.

I installed this new version and tried my compression with a TrueHD film using FLAC and I still have the issue where it completes the entire process, but the output file never appears. I don't think you addresses this in the new update, but in case you did, I am still having issues.

[Arbelisk]

Just tested a DTS-HD MKV (output from MakeMKV), and i can confirm the copy stream option was there for the audio!

However, also tested a TrueHD MKV (again, from MakeMKV), but didn't even get audio. Just vid.

Wonder if this is a work in progress from atak? Just about to test a DTS-HD m2ts to see if it also works.

Cheers

[EDIT:] I see. From m2ts, I get the wave, flac, and core options so can't test. It appears when selecting MKV as source, it skips the select stream screen.

I usually encode the movie using Ripbot. Then after its done, open the movie .m2ts in tsmuxer. Mux out the HD track. Then use mkvtoolnix and open the .mkv of the movie you encoded. Then just add the HD track you muxed out, and uncheck the core, or flac track that Ripbot added. Done. Then I have a full True-HD or DTS-MA track that works with my receiver. Yeah its a little out of the way to do, but it works. :)

from mathematic point of view yes you should go as low as possible but from human point of view it won't make huge difference.

Download DGSplit and create 50 mb sample (original .wtv). File send me to www.mediafire.com

Since posting I've tried a couple more files. I've found one's from BBC HD that don't produce an error have AC3, whilst ITV HD files have just 2 channel sound.

I've uploaded three files to MediaFire (http://www.mediafire.com/?tw22qndm45o5m).

The BBC HD file gives an error as shown below
The BBC HD with AC3 works fine
The ITV HD file only shows in Ripbot as having 2 channel sound

Here's the error I get with the BBC HD file

Listen dude, ll I was doing is addressing your section of your post to use copy stream, so I mentioned that was not an option. You don't need to be such an ass.

Very good product though, I would donate pending attitude change

He just quote you that wait for the new release; issue will be fixed on the next version. It's not a dude attitude... it's just we answer you 3 times and quote the reply has the answer you missed.

You just made a mistake, it's happen to all of us, it's why we are called humans. lol :rolleyes:

Look at his reply quoted earlier:

[dzirkelb]

I just do not understand what this is all about. yes, the quote said wait for new version, it also said "or use COPY STREAM.". Key word is "or". I get the fact that the new version will fix it, I replied to the copy stream portion. That isn't an option, or, if it is, then I am not seeing it, and am simply asking for guidance.

If, however, the copy stream is not an option, nor will it fix any issue, then please just say "copy stream won't work, regardless of what was posted". Or, if it will, then tell me how it will.

Bottom line, i get a new version will fix the issue. From what I am understanding, the copy stream portion either was misposted, will fix the issue but I need guidance on how to do it, or, say that copy stream will not fix it and that I flat out have to wait for a new version, and I will ignore that portion of the post all together.

that's the option i use to dump to a single 6-8 channel wav file but i still have to use eac3to with this command (eac3to.exe "x:\a\a.w64" "x:\a\6channel.wavs") yes wavs which outputs an independent wav for each channel. 6channel.L.wav, 6channel.C.wav, 6channel.R.wav and so on. it would be awesome if you could add an option to have ripbot264 do this so i cant cut out the extra conversion step. thanks again.

[MaistroX]

Hi Atak_Snajpera!

Thx for your wonderful work once again! :)

Could I ask of you if you would mind adding the possibility to keep the DTS-MA (HD) or TrueHD track in the complete rip as of choice? As u now can with the other sounds like DTS and so on?
Or even better to have thoose above and also have DTS or AC3 in the same release, I mean in the end, like DTS-HD set to "Default Track Flag: Yes" and on the same ouput "Default Track Flag: Default", that would set DTS-HD as the first to play! :)
Since as of now I allways have to mux that one back to get a complete release!
One more thing... could u make the list of subtitles "strechable" so one can see more of the subtiltles added and for easyer overview for us to sort them ? ;)

Hi Atak_Snajpera.
Recently I came cross two problems with encoding audio, RipBot264 just hanged during the audio processing. IMO problem was that both audio were 96kHz. I encoded audio directly in eac3to with no issues, both from direct audio source and from PCM file. Regards. Marek

Hi. I was told to use Ripbot for what I want to do but don't see how. I have some 720p .mkv movies that are 6 to 8 meg and I want to resize them down to 4.37 to fit on 1 dvd-r. Will Ripbot do this and if so can someone tell me what I need to do please? I went thru all the settings and didn't see any option for file size output. Or should I be using something else for this. I tried Handbrake but after the convertions, the .srt subtitles are out of sinc and I can't get them back in sinc. Maybe I'm not doing correctly. I'm a noob at all of this still. Thanks.

[jandor]

Please,

The RipBot v1.16.4 not recognize the audio on some containers MKV with AC3 audio when I select the output MP4 or MKV.
When he recognizes the AC3 audio from a MKV, the synchronization does not work well while converting to AAC in a container of MP4.
I use o Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

Excellent software. Congratulations!

Is it normal that my colection of harry potter are between 5000kbps and 7000kbps video? Ive encoded them all at CRF 18. The output size are like 6gig for 1080p movies. All my other movies are like 10mbps and around 10-16gigs.

[CrazyBricker]

Thank you so very much pacaveli211. I did not see that. Kewl, can't wait til tonight to try it. EXCELLENT!!! Do I need to change the kbps? I only ask because it's highlighted in your image. Thanks again.

[hoju3508]

@alpine_92, I've also noticed that with the recent x264 builds.

[Atak_Snajpera]

r1867
VFR/framerate-aware ratecontrol, part 2
MB-tree and qcomp complexity estimation now consider the duration of a frame in their calculations.
This is very important for visual optimizations, as frames that last longer are inherently more important quality-wise.
Improves VFR-aware PSNR as much as 1-2db on extreme test cases, ~0.5db on more ordinary VFR clips (e.g. deduped anime episodes).

WARNING: This change redefines x264's internal quality measurement.
x264 will now scale its quality based on the framerate of the video due to the aforementioned frame duration logic.
That is, --crf X will give lower quality per frame for a 60fps video than for a 30fps one.
This will make --crf closer to constant perceptual quality than previously.
The "center" for this change is 25fps: that is, videos lower than 25fps will go up in quality at the same CRF and videos above will go down.
This choice is completely arbitrary.

Note that to take full advantage of this, x264 must encode your video at the correct framerate, with the correct timestamps.

[alpine_92]

So what does that meen? FFDShow changed their settings? And how could i encode my movies back to 18CRF? Im confuzed how this works now.

[pacaveli211]

Thank you so very much pacaveli211. I did not see that. Kewl, can't wait til tonight to try it. EXCELLENT!!! Do I need to change the kbps? I only ask because it's highlighted in your image. Thanks again.

that was just coincidence
you can't simultaneously specify kbps and lock size (it's either one of the other)

[CrazyBricker]

Thank you again, pacaveli211. I thought so, just thought I'd ask to be sure. I hope they come out better using this instead of handbrake. Thanks again for your help.

[pacaveli211]

doesn't handbrake use x264 as well?
if so then they're not really going to come out any better (quality wise) being that they're encoded using the same thing
it's just about setting the correct x264 options and ease of application use =)

[CrazyBricker]

Yes, Handbrake uses x264. What I mean by better is the subtitles being in sync after I make them smaller in size. The quality was fine, just the subtitles were not. I left the default settings and only changed the filesize. Hopefully, that's all I need to do. Or do I need to adjust the frames and other things? I opened the .mkv with MediaInfo and it shows the encoding settings. Should I be trying to match the encoding settings in Ripbot or Handbrake? Thanks.

I just started 2 and am going to crash. I'll know how it goes when I wake up.

EDIT: So far so good. Have 1 done and it looks great and subtitles still in sinc. Awesome! Thank you again! :D Next one goes from 1080p to 720p.

[LigH]

@ alpine_92:

1) CRF is a rather constant rate between an "optimal" quality and a desired quality. If one movie is very easy to compress (e.g. little motion, little sharpness), it needs less bitrate to preserve a given fraction of the "optimal" video quality because already the optimum needs less bitrate. More motion and more details (sharpness) need more bitrate to be preserved good enough.

2) The definition of the optimum and its fraction changed in the latest x264 versions supporting variable framerates. They now depend on the framerate.

Hi,

I just wrote a guide for Ripbot and converting a Blu-ray to MKV here:
http://www.dvd-guides.com/guides/blu-ray-rip/252-rip-blu-ray-to-mkv

It clears some questions, but still I have some issues, for example why can't I get a COPY STREAM option when the Blu-ray audio is DTS?

If you have any suggestions please PM me.

If this seems spam-ish please delete it.
:thanks:

[pacaveli211]

I can't say I've ever seen a bluray with just DTS, so I'll assume you mean DTS-HDMA or DTS-HDHR. in which case you'll need to make sure you're choosing the 'core' option.

[afonic]

Thanks.

I'll try later and update the guide. However these options should be explained in the GUI. You don't know that you have to choose core for DTS or that FLAC doesn't work the same as WAV. And testing in order to find out takes a lot of time.

[qqcs]

Do you have solution to add(burn in) watermark/logo and srt subtitle in same time?
Andy is there a way to change the permanent subtitle font or font size?

update:
I find the solution here and checked few avsynt tutorial. all like chinese :(
Can you please somebody copy here the script I should copy into avisynt script window in ripbot?

eh, it's a free app man. and the options (at least these that we're talkin about) are kinda self explanatory...
wav decodes / decompresses the audio to wav
flac encodes it to flac
core extracts the core

there's always google if you don't understand what things are / what they mean

Of course they are, I am not saying otherwise. However you cannot guess how each option will affect the options you have at the next step. A tooltip would be nice.

[DJ-1]

Have been using stuff like AsxGui etc, was wondering what ripbot was like, for example_
1: can my customize my own output profile and save It?

2: does this rely on stuff allready installed in PC or is all the codecs etc all self contained within ripbot?

3: will this convert from a dts-ma entire source or just the dts-core?

Thanks.

1. yes you can manually specify any x264 switches and save them. each profile has a corresponding text file...or you can edit the profile in ripbot itself

2. yes you must install / have things: ffdshow, avisynth, haali, Java

3. you can do either

Hi

I've been using Ripbot 1.16.3 for a while now and have switched to 1.16.4. I have noticed that MP4box isn't addressing files over 2Gb. Then I compared the two versions and realized that 1.16.3 has the gpac patch and another dll library and that isn't included in 1.16.4. Although the newer version of mp4box is significantly bigger. Maybe the dynamic library and patch are included but isn't working? Anyone else having this problem?

I was also wondering if someone could tell me the difference between the three audio options; wave, flac and core. Is core, the 1.5mb/s, 5.1 core version of TrueHD. It sounds like wave rips a separate wave file for each audio channel. And flac, well, flac is lossless and sounds like it compresses better. I have a nice home theater setup at home and would like to have the best possible audio, whether that be Dolby-THD or DTS MA. But it doesn't seem like Ripbot supports that currently.

So I'm wondering which option is better, and is it possible to keep the original best audio track. An hour episode on blu ray is like 9Gb with a crf of 20. The audio track is about 200Mb for ac3. I'd rather keep the best track possible. Thanks.

dude, the audio options were just discussed. while you obviously can't be expected to go through 455 pages of posts you could try checking the page you're on / the one before it.
fyi TrueHD does not have a 1.5mbps core, it (generally) has a 640kbps core. DTS-HD HR/MA will (once again, generally) have a 1.5mbps core. Lossless and compression do not simultaneously coincide. with compression is quality loss, even if in negligible or minimal amounts. Depending on your home theater setup you probably can't play FLAC...unless you have something like a WDTV / HTPC / some other media player. RipBot doesn't support HD audio stream copying, if you want to keep them just mux them in after encoding.

[DJ-1]

OK, so just as a rough guide aac audio @ 128kbps@=approximately same as mp3 @240kbps.

Any1 here got bit-rate Vs quality with aac vs flac, or flac vs Lpcm, ogg... etc.

Also, in AC3. ..... ac3 is the container but what is the audio codec/whatever inside?

Cheers

[Atak_Snajpera]

pacaveli211: thanks for the reply. Sorry about the double post, I guess I didn't refresh the page since yesterday. I'm actually using an Apple TV2 and streaming from my server. I've tested a few encoded MP4's with the flac option and it seems to work fine.
I was going to start ripping to MKV and I see the option for copy stream. Is this the same as tsmuxing the HD track (DTS-MA or Dolby THD), then mkvmerge'ing the the audio to the encoded video?

ripbot doesn't support copying HD audio (excluding the exception someone found the other day in which it'll copy DTS-HDMA from an mkv). so if you're seeing 'copy stream' it's just referring to the core or whatever is in the job folder

[alpine_92]

Hey. Does RipBot convert TrueHD to AC3 when encoding a movie? For example: I added transformers and now demuxing audio streams. When its done, it reads the video, but it says no audio. Any sugestion?

[DJ-1]

erm, ok....Ripbot looking ok for now, I did notice that when trying to select flac as audio i got an error from eac3to saying that MSVCP71.dll was missing

i found that dll on google, BUT it wont play ball
i know the process of what i`m doing is ok, as i re-registered an existing .dll that was allready there.

I assume i`ve got the wrong type of dll ?


I have Win7 Home Premium 64Bit

so do i look for a 32bit/64bit dll ?
also there seems to be .com + .net types too.......confused ! LOL

any1 got a link to a GOOD dll ? (since theres bound to be ppl here run into the same issue)

thanks.

cheers just looked at that, problem is i looked on google for the .dll and there a couple, different sizes etc.... i get a msg about maybe its not compatible with my Windows version when trying to register it, will the .dll be on my Official windows disc?, do i need a 64bit dll, or 32bit ?

cheers

edit: also, i have got that .dll in the WOW64 folder aswell.
when in cmd, it looks like C:Windows\system32>regsvr32 msvcp71.dll
if i place in sysWOW64 what happens in cmd ?

[pacaveli211]

Windows version when trying to register it, will the .dll be on my Official windows disc?
don't know, maybe. search for just msvcp as it may be named msvcp.dl_ or whatever they do with the filenames on the disc
do i need a 64bit dll, or 32bit?
well I dunno....do you have x86 or x64 windows.....

...blah
yes you need to change the path if you want to register the file in wow64 as well.

also...if you're getting an error that "MSVCP71.dll was missing"
you might want to be doing such things with MSVCP71.dll, not MSVCP.dll

There's a problem with RB264 1.16.4 latest version here :(

I'm using Win 7 + KIS 2011 and my lappy tells that there are 3 viruses HEUR:Trojan.Win32.Generic in .7z file. The problem that I haven't seen before :(

What's wrong with this upgrade version ?

Could anyone tells me how to do right now :((

[CrazyBricker]

Thanks again, pacaveli211. I just redone a few movies that had the subtitles out of sync which were done with Handbrake and they are perfect now. RipBot is a better program for what I need to do. It does take longer to convert them but oh well. Atleast now I don't have to worry about the subtitles being out of sync any more. :)

According to this:
http://www.dts.com/DownloadDocument.aspx?q=a7beda1e-cfe6-4ca4-b6b2-cda9554bb6a5

DTS Core is the "legacy" audio provided for systems that do not support the Extension. In older systems, you just listen to the Core. In modern systems, the decoder takes the core (lossy), then compares the data with the Extension (lossless) and applies the extra data that needs to be played and are lost in the core to deliver the best possible audio experience.

Bottom line, if you don't have a decoder that support DTS-HD (and I mean a hardware one), just using the Core option to demux and then copy stream, you will hear the exact same sound you would hear by demuxing the DTS-HD channel and mux it in the mkv yourself. Minus about 1GB of audio data.

So unless you have a home theater equipment (decoder) that supports it, just copy the Core.

[ketchup318]

Hey DJ-1

I had that msvcp71.dll problem too. The way I fixed it was I just moved the downloaded .dll to windows\system32. Ripbot also complained about a msvcr71.dll file too. I downloaded and moved it there too and haven't had a problem since.

So if I do have a receiver that decodes DTS-MA and Dolby-THD, I need to manually demux the m2ts, have ripbot encode the video (without audio) and then use mkvmerge to join the 'raw' audio and the encoded video together, to get the full audio experience? Hmm... doesn't sound too bad, just an extra two steps.

my statement about x64 was rhetorical, even though you posted earlier...it's quite obvious you have x64 since you have a wow64 folder =P

if you have x64 windows make sure x64 x264 is enabled, that'll make it go a bit faster.

yes, just manually demux / remux it back in
if your source is true bluray you should get used to scanning with bdinfo / and demuxing using the playlist via eac3to
this is sometimes necessary because of multi m2ts/branched movies and audio overlaps

Yes, just demux with tsMuxeR, encode with Ripbot264 (or Handbrake) the video and then mux with mkvmerge.

If you will convert Blu-rays regularly I have found that DVDFab Blu-ray Ripper greates nice quality MKV files, with CUDA support (much faster than Ripbot if you have nVidia card) and will copy the DTS-HD intact.

ok, well i kinda sorted out the .dll thing, i coudnt get the file to register at all, but I`m not getting the error from eac32 when selecting flac anyhow :)

couple of things i noticed:

1:is there proper way of pointing to specific `Default` output/working DIRs ?

2: am i wrong for thinking i should have an option .flac output, when selecting flac before it demuxes source ?

I run version 1.16.4 over an avi file with AC3 audio, and I get:

Can't open "G:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs"

External Exception C000071C

The file exists on the directory.

What's wrong?

[nst6563]

would it be possible to include an option in the next version to encode an entire folder full of files?

I've tried Mediacoder for this as it supports it as well as cuda based encoding...but it's crap. It's dressed up nicely...but still crap. The results are blockiness and files that generally end up LARGER than the original. If i try to keep the same bitrate as the original, there is tons of blocks and ghosting. Total waste of time.

Also tried DVDFab as it has Cuda support as well...same thing. File size was the same/larger...and quality was not as good.

Why Cuda based encoding is such crap is beyond me.

Ripbot gets it right every time and all I have to do is add the movie and select the ipad profile. It would just make it more convenient if it had the ability to be given a folder and it would enumerate the files within.

[pacaveli211]

yeah I wouldn't trust my HD encoding to anything other than x264

[afonic]

Also tried DVDFab as it has Cuda support as well...same thing. File size was the same/larger...and quality was not as good.


Supporting CUDA is very difficult programing-wise. That is why most encoders are still way behind x264.

However I have found that DVDFab in high quality mode, using CUDA, provides nice files, in about half the time x264 does.

The file sizes are not standard, as DVD Fab calculates just video bitrate - size and then adds audio.

[nst6563]

I just ran a file (spongebob episode) through dvdfab and was watching GPU-Z and when run through high quality mode(2pass) there was no GPU usage on my 8800gts or GTX260. It did encode fast...but roughly the same speed as ripbot on the same file.

Given that, Ripbot still produced better results.

Hell if I had the skills I'd love to help out on the Cuda side of encoding. It would be awesome to see HD content encoded using both CPU and GPU and getting FPS in the hundreds.

Anyway, I still think the idea of folder support in Ripbot would be useful for more people than just myself. I wouldn't think it's that hard to implement either...but then again, I'm just familiar with vbscript and vb.net... I have no clue how Ripbot is coded to handle things.

[DJ-1]

i got a copy of dvdfab 8 to see what its like, since i have a GT260 CUDA card in my PC,

the name of the program is Dvdfab 8, but there were `Bluray ripping` options in the options panel.

I assume theres a seperate app called `Dvdfab Bluray ripper`

i hope its not what i`ve been looking at so far as it takes around 5mins just to launch the app!, each option change in the set-up panel needs an application restart, only to find it HASN`T applied the setting at al........Bloody awfull !!

[ArieS1204]

Hello, I'm fairly new to Ripbot and I have a question.
What exactly is the new option Core for the audio?
I'm trying to back up my BD of Eternal Sunshine... from 1080p to 720p.
I added 2 different jobs in my queue:
1. I did not choose Core but 5.1 aften AC3 640 kbps. Choosing 2 pass with a target size of 6 gigs I get 7133 kbps (frames?)
Looking in the job folder I see the audio file is 3.46 gigs.

2. I chose Core. Selecting 2 pass with a target of 6 gigs gives me 6243 kbps. Looking in the job folder, the audio file is only 1.13 gigs.

So what is Core? Is it the lossy dts track on the BD? And seeing the size of it, is it less than 640 kbps? I'm confused...
Looking at my 2 examples, am I right to assume option number 1 will give me the best audio?
I would try both but considering a job takes about 18-20 hours, that seems like a waste just for a test.

Thanks in advance...

[nst6563]

I haven't used the new Core option, but I would assume it's for the HD audio track - I'm probably wrong tho ;)

As for your test, drop the settings to something totally awful. I do that when doing a test encode on titles which seem to be difficult for whatever reason (I think District 9 was being obnoxious due to subtitles). I dropped all settings to minimum and let it run. I went from the avg 6-10fps on a Bluray title to the 60's. Once I got the subs the way I wanted, I cranked up the settings and did a final encode. 2-3 hours is a lot easier to waste than 18-20 ;)

Yes it is the lossy track of DTS. But it shouldn't be that small, it usually is around 1500kbps check your original BD.

Been trying to encode "Van Helsing" with ripbot after ripping with Anydvd HD.But when demuxing it gets to 66% and two little alerts come up saying ouch!,so i ok both of them and they disappear.
The demuxing starts again gets to 100% and then shows "not responding" with no new job.I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the same alerts come up at 66%.I also have all the relevant codecs,and i ripped the "Van Helsing"for a second time in case it was a bad rip and i'm using the latest ripbot version.Really grateful for any help.:confused:

Hi afonic,Thanks for your reply.I made a mistake in my first post when i said i ripped it with Anydvd HD I did'nt i had the movie in iso format.
I then opened it in power iso and extracted the main movie to a folder.
I tried your suggestion of demuxing using tsmuxer,but when i add the file it says some files are missing and unsupported data,but i carried on then this error shows.

Hi,

what do you mean with main movie? This is what I would do in your case:

-Extract ALL the data with PowerISO.
-Run BDInfo, load your BDMV folder to see which playlist contains the movie.
-Load that playlist in tsMuxeR and demux all the streams you need. (check the attachment for the correct settings)
-Load the demuxed streams in Ripbot and encode.

You can find downloads for all the tools you need here (http://www.dvd-guides.com/downloads/category/9-blu-ray-rip).

Exist a RIPBOT264 x64 version that works with multicore CPU?


Thank's

[Lighto]

@fusebyte
There isn't a 64bit version of RipBot264 as of now.
The 32bit version of RipBot264 works with 64bit perfectly fine, it uses the 64bit version of x264 to encode video on a 64bit Operating System and utilizes multiple core when encoding.
x264 is the one doing the encoding, RipBot264 is the GUI that allows you to set your preference of the encoded output easily.

[fusebyte]

Tk's for answer.
I ask this, because
when encode with RIPBOT264 my CPU works around 98-100% and temperature 85°-100° celsius
when encode with MEDIACODER_x64 my CPU works around 60-70% max and temperature max 67° celsius.
I thought that my CPU with ripbot264 seeks more because it does not work in multithreading mode, but if you tell me that RIPBOT264 works with all CPU's core...

But since I prefer to work with RIPBOT264, I ask U , how can i set x264_x64?

Lighto,thanks so much!

[afonic]

Actually, higher CPU usage is better as the encoding finishes faster. So Ripbot does a better job than Mediacoder.

As to how to enable it, the answer is just one page prior:

---------------------
// it will use 64bit version of x264 on 64bit Windows. Up to 10% faster encoding speed.
Usex264x64=1
---------------------
RipBot264.ini

[fusebyte]

Usex264x64=1

Please forgive my ignorance, how and where do I enable Usex264x64 = 1?

[afonic]

It's in RipBot264.ini as it says in the quote. Should be already enabled if you have 64bit Windows.

[pacaveli211]

you can always open task manager (ctrl+shift+esc) and check the performance tab to see what's going on with each of your cores, as far as usage

[Ajax_Undone]

Both the installer version and the 7z version have x64 enabled by default. The setting is there I believe for people who wish to set it to zero in x64 windows to test how the speed differs.
Overall the x64 codec only goes at average 10~11% faster then the x86 and yes both x86 and x64 versions of the codec are mutithreaded.

[DJ-1]

Great program, best so far by mile!.

couple of question...
1:when in 2pass mode does the bitrate cover both passes, or does one pass get most of the attention more than the other ?

2: possible to have 1 pass `Bitrate mode, I.E: VBR-Contant or Average`.... make it a bit more flexible the QR mode that way ?

3:is there any good sources of info on some of the terminology for some of the advanced profile options, for instance, i know somw like QPEL, De-blocking etc...some apps give `info` if you hover over the selection...would be a nice touch :)

[duramaximus]

Wave, Flac or Core???

What is the difference?

Basically I use Ripbot to make BD9 from my blurays. I just want to keep 5.1 surround and do not worry to much about HD audio.

Which should I be choosing from the start, Wave, Flac or Core?

Thanks :)

Ive used both Flac and Wave and havent heard a difference between either one. Core is just the core part of the DTS-HD Audio track but I think Flac and Wave convert the whole thing. Not sure though.

[ArieS1204]

Yes it is the lossy track of DTS. But it shouldn't be that small, it usually is around 1500kbps check your original BD.

Thanks afonic for the guide. It makes more sense now.

Also, I ripped an episode of The Pacific from my BD as a test. First time using the Core audio and the second time using the 5.1 Aften AC3 @640kbps.
The latter sounds better, am I crazy or what? Shouldn't the Core be the better one of the 2?
How can I find out exactly what's the bitrate of the Core audio?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Short info about audio options:
WAVE - Whole lossless DTS-MA/TrueHD will be decompressed to wave
FLAC - similar as above but with Flac (Free Lossless Audio Codec) compression. Better compression than DTS-MA/TrueHD but only compatible with .mkv container!
CORE - This option will extract only lossy core part. DTS 1,5 Mbps if source is DTS-MA or AC3 640 kbps if source is TrueHD

If you don't know what to choose leave default WAVE option!

[liquidskin76]

Hey Atak,

Is it poss to get confirmation that you are planning/considering on implementing the option to retain TrueHD/DTS-HD audio on mkv in a future version?

I'm a pain in the arse, i know! :D

Thanks

Hi,

three questions,

1)When selected wave in DTSHD, does it use the lossless DTS-HD stream or does it require a commercial decoder like Arcsoft otherwise falls back to Core?

2)I selected the Core option for a TrueHD Blu-ray just now, but I didn't get a "copy stream" option in mkv format.

3)Would you suggest extracting the HD audio and reencode or just keep the Core?

[hdpete]

I assume from the log below that I'm able to decode the full lossless DTS-HD MA soundtrack converted to a wav as Arcsoft is shown as in use, but it seems it reduces the bit depth from 24bit to 16bit.
12033
Once the lossless DTS MA audio is decoded, I'll usually want to convert it to a 24bit 640kbps AC3 file, is it possible for Ripbot to leave the decoded DTS MA audio at 24bit or will I have to use eac3to outside of Ripbot to get a 24bit 640kbps ac3 file? Thanks

Well Arcsoft is being used alright, do you have any of their programs installed or does Ripbot contain it somehow?

[hdpete]

Well Arcsoft is being used alright, do you have any of their programs installed or does Ripbot contain it somehow?
It's in the Ripbot Tools, ax folder.

12034

Having looked at the ac3 file from a recently converted project, it seems that the resulting dolby audio is 24 bit, so Ripbot through eac3to has downsampled the 24bit DTSMA audio from 24bit to 16bit and then upsamples it from 16 to 24bit in the Aften ac3 conversion. That's obviously not desireable as you've lost the original 24bit quality in the downsample.

Why is there a need to convert the DTSHD-MA audio when importing (unless you just want the core)? If you've got the Arcsoft encoder installed, can't it just be demuxed to a dtshd file and then converted as required in the output side?

yeah, i wondered about this, why not dump the raw audio , AC3 or PCM straight to HDD when demuxing, then (assuming output file is gonna have audio conversion) Audio is only converted once ??

I am not sure how legal this is, but I don't want to be a deal breaker anyway so let it be.

If you download eac3to plus some GUI you will see what the various options are and what audio it produces. What it does is decoding (not demuxing) the audio to wave format and then uses that to re-encode to AC3.

If you ask me, the audio options are not so clear in Ripbot so I just use the Core option and keep the Core track in my mkv files, since I am just passing through via sp/dif to a DTS decoder that doesn't support HD. Staxrip has more complex audio configurations with exact eac3to settings.

Having looked at the ac3 file from a recently converted project, it seems that the resulting dolby audio is 24 bit, so Ripbot through eac3to has downsampled the 24bit DTSMA audio from 24bit to 16bit and then upsamples it from 16 to 24bit in the Aften ac3 conversion. That's obviously not desireable as you've lost the original 24bit quality in the downsample.

You might try tagging in log files with the code tags.

hi Atak

i just try to decode a ".m2ts" file into "mp4".
The program end the decoding without errors, but...
in the output directory i have nothing!!

here is the info on the ini file:
//Directory must exists!!! D:\movies\ is correct but D:\movies is incorrect!
DefaultOutputPath=D:\TempBluRay1\

and, of course, directory "TempBluRay1" on drive "D:" exist!!

i'm confused... :(

[hoju3508]

Do you have a log file?

I have been just keeping the DTS core file, but at 1509kbps it's a fairly big file. An ac3 file at 640kbps is a lot smaller but produces similar sound quality, so then I've got a better video bitrate bearing in mind that on these particular videos I'm looking at 3.95gb 720p MKV to fit on a FAT32 HDD. I guess I'll just have to convert the lossless DTSHD audio to ac3 in eac3to outside of Ripbot and then mux it to the BD before opening it in Ripbot, this way I'll avoid the loss in quality from the original lossless file (24bit down to 16bit) which Ripbot seems to introduce into the process.

Hi Atak
I’m getting this very annoying problem (I’m using vista home premium sp2 32-bit). This problem is happening with all of my bought dvds but i’ll use Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii as my example. Here’s the file I ripped from dvd to mkv using MakeMKV

[smokerdalejash]

A 4891 kbps source, when I set 2 pass to 3000 kbps it completes fine with no problems at all(takes about 4-5 hours), but when I set it to what the source says it is capable of (4891 kbps) right at the end during the muxing part a “mp4box.exe has stopped working” error comes up

Yes that would be a good choice. Actually as Ripbot does use Arcsoft and uses the whole lossless part, you are fine just selecting Wave and then let it convert your audio to AC3.

In my case I don't really care about the file size so I leave the Core.

No I'm not, that was my issue, when doing that in Ripbot, it downsamples from 24bit to 16bit.

I too have started getting "mp4box.exe has stopped working". Unfortunately I have not had the time to examine the output files (if any are there). The settings I use are just CQ=22 or 20 (depending on the output I want) and set my audio (always 5.1 for me).

Has anyone else received the MP4BOX.EXE error?

I've been using this software for quite some time now and love it. Thanks again Atak! :thanks:

Yea, I get no output files after this error, I've tried using a few of the CQ settings but unfortunately this makes the the whole process take even longer up to 6-7 hours

Not shore if you were talking to me, but if you were, I don't get any final file/files.

Here is the job log, not shore what is going wrong -.-

[johnbanks]

Would really appreciate some help ...

Have a new GT460 card and dgdecnv license
How do I get Ripbot to use these to speed up the whole process?
I promise you I have spent a lot of time trying myself and searching this forum
Thx

PS: Without dgdecnv, I'm getting around 19 fps whilst encoding (BluRay rips) and the demuxing seems slow and in no way fully utilizes my 6 core CPU

[pacaveli211]

demuxing seems slow and in no way fully utilizes my 6 core CPU
demuxing is limited by hdd speed, hence the low CPU usage

[afonic]

Not shore if you were talking to me, but if you were, I don't get any final file/files.

Yes.

MP4Box had some known bug with files over a size limit. Thought it may have to do with the file size as in your second attemp you use a higher bitrate, hence a bigger file.

[smokerdalejash]

Well you must be right, It must be some sort of bug. Maybe a fix for this in the next version? I would really like to be able to utilize the full bitrate from the input file to the final file. Anyway I guess I will have to settle for -3000 bitrate vids(this still looks amazing)

Great work Atak

Many thx for that - I now know about demuxing limitations.

Would really like to know how to get Ripbot to use DGdecNV as I believe this will significantly speed up the encoding

Thx

[7ekno]

Would really like to know how to get Ripbot to use DGdecNV

Demux with DGIndex & have it create an AVS script (it has a template function) ....

Feed DGIndex generated AVS script into Ripbot264, select the demuxed audio track for audio muxing ...

You will need to adjust the DGIndex AVS template to include the function that you want performed with Avisynth ...

Thanks, I will try it out. I've tried using GOTSent, XenonMKV and all that sort of stuff but to be honest, if i can get RipBot264 to work with full bitrate I won't be going back to any of them, as this has the best looking GUI, best settings and is so simple to use.

[jandor]

Please,

The RipBot v1.16.4 not recognize the audio on some containers MKV with AC3 audio when I select the output MP4 or MKV.
When he recognizes the AC3 audio from a MKV, the synchronization does not work well while converting to AAC in a container of MP4.
I use o Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

Excellent software. Congratulations!

Solved by making the DEMUX with tsMuxeR, from the MKV file.

Thanks!

smokerdalejash,

I gave it a try and it produced an error. However I think I have the solution to your problem.

Download this file:
http://cid-23d230fef2480b61.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/pub/misc/mp4box-20091004.7z

Then go in Ripbot264/Tools rename the mp4box folder to mp4box_old or something, extract this file and rename its folder to mp4box.

It should now create over 4GB Mp4 files correctly.

If you haven't delete the temp files from your previous project, just open a command line and copy paste this line from your log:
C:\>"C:\Users\Callum\Desktop\RipBot264\tools\mp4box\mp4box.exe" -tmp "C:\temp\RipBot264temp" -add "C:\temp\RipBot264temp\video.264":name="title02" -fps 25 -add "C:\temp\RipBot264temp\audio.aac":lang=eng -mpeg4 -chap "C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\chapters.txt" -new "C:\Users\Callum\Desktop\title02.mp4"
and it should create the mp4 file just fine without re-encoding.

************************************************
and few questions regarding a 1080p encode :
- is this normal ?? 18 Mbps and subme 7
or
Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=3 / deblock=1:0:0 / analyse=0x3:0x133 / me=umh /
subme=7 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.00 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=1 /
8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=-2 / threads=6 /

many people say that " If CPU is not good enough, you can set subme 9 and me umh " and better is 10 ;-)

- also many people say that must be used a Ref. Frames of min 4-5 and not 3 as is usually used..just for watching on different media players like egreat, popcornhour, a.s.o.

What is your oppinion about these problems ???

Does it make sence? I encoded (video only) The Social Network (2010) from 24gig with all default settings with cfr 18 with a result of 2.11gig?? Its 1080p full resolution, and when i play it, it looks good too. Can i get any comment on this lol

Sounds about right. This movie has simple, slow paced scenes, so the bitrate stays low most of the time.

[alpine_92]

wow.. then video encoding is awesome then :D

I've reinstalled and now I get another error :

Can't open "F:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs"

My OS is win7 x64 and i saw that Ripbot do not accepts ffdshow for x64 ,just for 32...
Could be a conflict between these two ???

Suggestion

Occurred while opening a VOB file...

1) Properties > Audio Delay (ms) = Change sequence of 50, 100, 150,... for 0, 1, 2, 3,... 999
Not allowed to do the exact adjustment of synchronization.

2) Video length in milliseconds
The length remains in decimal, with the rounding of time.

About Delay:
Constant audio: The length of the audio is changed.
Variable audio (untouchable): The length of the video is changed.
As the RipBot working with these two situations of delay?

12089 - 11968 = 121 delay
Currently I can not adjust the delay of 121. The closest value allowed is 100 or 150

I'm trying to code this .m2ts file. When I load it into RipBot, it says I'm missing mvscp71.dll from Eac3to and it's not cropping the file correctly. Has anyone seen this and is there a fix for it. I download mvscp71.dll and put in in the system folder, but it didn't see to help. Thanks for any help.

I can usually rip a 1080p Blu-ray in about 8 hours. I know that the Avatar Collector's Edition is 3 hours long but it's taking more than 24 hours to do the rip, with the same high profile and quality target setting.

Is there something special about that Blu-ray that's causing it to encode very slowly?

Okay so finally I found out the issue. My motherboard was somehow killing my CPU power. Was causing problems in games as well. Replaced it and things are speedy again.

But has anyone gotten the normal English forced subtitles to work? When I burn them in, it burns at the wrong time, a few minutes off. When I try to make them selectable, It screws up and just keeps the first line that shows up on there forever.

[pacaveli211]

subtitles have to be the most annoying thing ever
especially when you start getting into the forced tracks.
what is your target? you could just extract and keep the sup if you have something that will support them
or manually use something like suprip if you can't get them working properly in ripbot
I actually have an .ssa file I made for avatar. I used a papyrus font so it looks fairly close to the original subs
you're welcome to check it out / use it if you'd like: http://hotfile.com/dl/87910066/91c158f/avatar2.ssa
fyi avatar is the current winner for taking the most encode time compared to other stuff I've done.
so regardless of the issue you had...avatar often will take substantially longer

[LigH]

@ jandor:

A difference of durations is not a delay. It is possible that an audio stream is shorter/longer than a video stream. Their "granularities" are different. Accept it.

[pacaveli211]

a difference in durations CAN be a delay. however it's fairly common that the audio stream will be a bit shorter. it usually cuts off before the video actually does

Hi guys, this is my problem:
I want to hardsub a mkv file (I already know how to do it) but when I open the file in RipBot the audio duration is different from the video

http://i56.tinypic.com/2vvvmro.jpg

What can I do to fix it?
Thank you all

Select MKV at the bottom, it opens up other options in the audio drop down.

I'm a rookie at this, but that bugged me a couple times until i realized I had the wrong option tagged.

[jandor]

In Properties > Denoise >

Entering in:
- Do not denoise
- Film
- Anime

I always have to select "Do not denoise"
By selecting "Film", the "Preview Script" is too slow, and perhaps the encoding.
Someone could explain why this slowness?

[pacaveli211]

did you consider that maybe it's the extra load on the cpu to perform the denoise that's causing the lag?...
or just the general script processing itself

it's not gonna change the framerate or anything like that

you could always test encode a small section if you're worried

Anyone else using AVG Free getting told that Ripbot264.exe is dangerous malware?

It comes up fine when you scan it from the file menu, but when you run it, it sets AVG off and it wants to quarantine Ripbot264.exe, MP4BOX.exe & SetACL_x64.exe. (I think it is actually SetACL_x64.exe that sets it off).

Don't get me wrong, I have been a Ripbot264 for years now, so I don't think Atak Snajpera is up to anything shifty. I think that the latest AVG update has made it a bit too sensitive.

[Ronski]

Did anybody look into this problem?

I've looked through the thread and can't see any replies relating to it.

Since posting I've tried a couple more files. I've found one's from BBC HD that don't produce an error have AC3, whilst ITV HD files have just 2 channel sound.

I've uploaded three files to MediaFire (http://www.mediafire.com/?tw22qndm45o5m).

The BBC HD file gives an error as shown below
The BBC HD with AC3 works fine
The ITV HD file only shows in Ripbot as having 2 channel sound

Here's the error I get with the BBC HD file

DirectShowSource: couldn't open file E:\temp\RipBot264temp\job10\BBC HD.ts:
The system cannot find the file specified.
(E:\temp\RipBot264temp\job10\getinfo.avs, line 2)

PS. I've uploaded the first 50mb section of each split, as sections after that did not play.

[applejackaz]

smokerdalejash,

I gave it a try and it produced an error. However I think I have the solution to your problem.

Download this file:
http://cid-23d230fef2480b61.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/pub/misc/mp4box-20091004.7z

Then go in Ripbot264/Tools rename the mp4box folder to mp4box_old or something, extract this file and rename its folder to mp4box.

It should now create over 4GB Mp4 files correctly.

If you haven't delete the temp files from your previous project, just open a command line and copy paste this line from your log:

and it should create the mp4 file just fine without re-encoding.
Thanks, the new Mp4Box works great.
P.S. You can also use Mp4Box GUI to recover

This one seems to be a new version :

I solved ALL problems !!!

This version DO NOT accept ffdshow for x64 !!!!
That was the problem and all error .
I'm using win 7 x64 and I must install ffdshow 32....

and a new question :

I tried to change some parameters in Profile/subpixel refinement ,from 7 to 9....It seems that gaves me some gap between sound and images.
If this is NOT the reason for gap between sound and images , can tell me smb what are the reason for disparty ???

Hi Atak;

I'Ve got an small issue about this mkv file.

I had no 1080P size for resize in AVCHD mode.

Check in the ratio of the source; it's a 4:3 ratio in 1080P but ripbot264 doesnt give me the choice to convert it to 1080P 4:3>16:9!

[pacaveli211]

yeah I previously suggested that ripbot should be able to 'pillar box' 4:3 ar stuff into a 16:9 resolution
fyi bluray players will play 4:3 stuff, like 1440x1080, or whatever the standard is
you'll just probably have to adjust your tv/player when watching it

I know but in the past i was able to convert a 4:3 1.33 size to fit on a 16:9 1:35 ratio and play has a 1080P 16:9 format but only display the 4:3 image.

Took the example of Fantasia HD 16:9 Bluray released in that same situation, is the same.

So i just would like to know if ripbot is not able or just a setting method to took 1080P image.

[73ChargerFan]

Thanks Atak for RipBot264. I'm making use of it and learning avisynth & x264 at the same time.

I'd like to request a feature, an option to do a test encode of 10 seconds. It'd require a check box and then the user specifies a starting time.

[benjyv]

I can't understand why a .ts file ,after encoding results an .mkv out-of-sync.
It is the first movie that happened such an out-of-sync....Can someone explain me what are the reasons for such an error ??
There are special settings to do before encoding ???

Thanks for replay !

PS : If it's necesary I can give you more details ,just tell me !!!

[jandor]

In some cases, when I did a "TS muxing" in a MKV with the tsMuxeR to obtain a TS, the RipBot accused some delay problems.
When I began using the "Demux" I had no problems of delay.
It was the way I managed to escape from the TS format, which in my case here, he is not very well accepted by RipBot.
I do not exchange the RipBot264 for any other, he is excellent.

[DJ-1]

its probably been asked in here already, can Ripbot do 4:3 --> 16:9, or 1:85 conversion ?
i want to convert old tv shows etc, but some of the old content is 4:3

1) Last week when i was encoding a t.v show episode it got stuck on muxing am i missing a codec

2) i encoded a movie file the original rip was blu-ray which was encoded to avi not by me i grabbed it from torrents when i encoded it the video turned out like this why is that?

[pacaveli211]

muxing doesn't need codecs (as far as I know). it's decoding / playing that does
did you check the log for errors? does your destination drive have enough space for it to finish?
try a manual mux using the .264 from the temp (the audio and subs will be in the job folder itself)

[SciFer]

Just a noob typ question. I often have MKV containers that have 24fps or 25fps that I need to change 23.976 the problem we all know is the audio becoming un-synced. I've done a search on this and I believe the only answer is use eac3to. I've recently downloaded the latest version (I was using ver. 1.1.4.6 and much has improved). Is there a way of doing this within Ripbot now? I know it has the assume --> 23.976 but I don't see an option to stretch or shrink the audio to match the new video. If I choose the assume option will it automatically adjust the audio? If it doesn't have this ability yet, Atak do you think this is something that could be added in the future?

thanks again!

[pacaveli211]

yeah, ripbot has never done it as far as I know
and eac3to is the only thing I know of that will do it
btw anything that plays 23.967fps should play 24fps just fine

[LigH]

1) Last week when i was encoding a t.v show episode it got stuck on muxing am i missing a codec

A "codec" is a converter for video or audio formats, implemented as loadable plugin, integrated in a software or operating system.

Multiplexing combines several streams and wraps them into a container; it does not "convert", so a multiplexer does not use any "codec".

If the multiplexing process gets stuck, the multiplexer doesn't work correctly. Depending on your target format, there are different multiplexer tools used. But as long as you don't tell us details (which contained formats to be multiplexed into which container format), your report doesn't tell us anything.


2) i encoded a movie file the original rip was blu-ray which was encoded to avi not by me i grabbed it from torrents ...

See Forum Rule (http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm) #6: No moviez. Strike yourself.

[DJ-1]

is it possible to include crop, resolution, fps, in customer profile aswell as the usual stuff in the profile?
this way if I have a queue of things with resolution change/whatever I don't have to go and edit output options of each job in queue if they're all the same?

cheers

[pacaveli211]

crop and resolution both seem to be done through avisynth
so they're not something you can put in the profile. there may be a way to create a custom script or something...but someone else would need to help you with that
there is a --fps 24000/1001 switch in the x264 cmd...so you may be able to to specify that in the profile

[73ChargerFan]

yeah, ripbot has never done it as far as I know
and eac3to is the only thing I know of that will do it
btw anything that plays 23.967fps should play 24fps just fine
RipBot does it, that's the reason I started using it!

On the 'Edit Job' dialog hit "Properties", then next button - at the bottom is a drop down box for "Output Speed." Select "Assume -> 23.976 FPS"

It will slow down the audio from 25 FPS to 23.97 FPS no problem.

I also use eac3to for this, if I'm not otherwise using RibBot.

[pacaveli211]

yeah I know where the fps option is
I just know I've used it before and it didn't fix the audio
maybe it has been corrected / changed since
thnx for the info 73ChargerFan

[benjyv]

@jandor

Thanks !!

But maybe you use "m2ts muxing" option instead of Demux..Using Demux means to split image from sound , to encode separatelly and finally to paste them...I've tried this but no good results , just same error :(

I remember that Atak told smb few time ago to change extension , but I'm not sure......

[alpine_92]

Hey i got a question. Converting DTS to AC3 640, is it worth it? It can save up to 1-4gig per movie, and i think the sound is still great. How much exacly do u loose? I dont want to regret after i encode 25 BD's. And what is the diference between eac3to and aften? Are they the same?

DTS and AC3 are both supposed to be transparent
DTS-HDMA and DTS are NOT the same thing
if you're encoding DTS-HD to AC3 you're dropping HD audio
and from what you've said...I'm guessing that's what you're doing since you wouldn't be dropping 1-4GB by simply encoding a DTS 1536 core to AC3
personally I look very negatively on such things...but it's all up to you. if you have a nice home theater setup and such, I would suggest you keep the HD audio. if you're watching movies on your grandma's 26" CRT tv....


eac3to and aften are just different softwares that can be used for AC3 encoding (eac3to also capable of much more)...obviously they're not the same.
I have no idea how their encoding compares though.

[djzoey]

Hello, sorry for the noob question.
Can someone tell me where a post would be or possbily tell me how to use RB to make all these VOB files into a single avi file. I have everything installed and all VOB files are on a large internal drive. Is there a setting or someting I need to do. Please let me know and thank you for your time and efforts. :thanks:

That's great Atak, thanks! Obvious question, if original audio is dts then the only opton is, if you want the audio speed adjusted, is to convert to ac3 right? It doesn't appear to give a dts to dts conversion/adjust audio speed.

[hoju3508]

@SciFer, I do the conversion of 25 -> 23.975 of audio outside of RB using eac3to.

I have tried transcoding Syriana a ton of different ways and it is the first movie of the dozens I have done with Ripbot that has an issue.

The audio is out of sync with the video. The audio is running a few seconds ahead of the video. What info do you guys need to help me troubleshoot this?

[Ajax_Undone]

you can adjust the sync inside of properties on the last page.
http://i55.tinypic.com/3305lpg.png

You can go up or down depending on the sync issue.. Its measured in ms so have fun...

[alpine_92]

Hey quick question. After muxing a BD movie to mkv, then encode it to 18, it has a size of 6-12gig. If you take the file you have just encoded, and encode it to 18 again, will the file size be exacly the same? Or it will drop more down?

[Lighto]

@alphine_92
File size will probably drop along with the video quality.

[Ajax_Undone]

You might want to just stick with the default setting of 22 as there is no real notable differences other then the over abundantly large file size.

Plus you wont end up needing to re encode and damage video quality to gain a smaller file size.

[jmatyasovsky]

I am having an issue with ripbot stopping when it gets to "Please wait... Gathering information" after demuxing. This issue began to occur after I updated from 1.16.3 to 1.16.4. It apears that there may have been some leftover data that is causing the issue. I have tried uninstalling all required software, updating all the software and reinstalling in the recommended order (i found this info from another thread on here). I've tried going back to 1.16.3 and it still gives me the same problem. I have found a workaround solution by moving the ripbot 1.16.4 folder to my D: drive. It works fine on my D: drive by not on C: (my OS drive). Do you have any ideas what could be causing the issue?

[billqs]

I've been using Ripbot to encode my Blu-rays for a long time. I am now using the latest version. I generally am very pleased with the results, except that I notice banding in backgrounds. It's certainly bearable, and is more noticeable some times than others. I capture using the default setting of 22 and setting denoise to film. I have noticed this across versions of Ripbot and from several video sources, monitor, HDTV, and projector using different computers and different software players. Is there something I can do that will reduce the banding? I imagine encoding without the denoise would help, but I like the clean look and better encoding compression that I get with it. Any help would be appreciated!

I am having an issue with ripbot stopping when it gets to "Please wait... Gathering information" after demuxing. This issue began to occur after I updated from 1.16.3 to 1.16.4.

I have tried uninstalling all required software, updating all the software and reinstalling in the recommended order (i found this info from another thread on here).

It sounds like it could be something mechanically at fault.
One drive vs another in this situation tells me that the software is working. the Drive on the other hand may be near failing. (Age of the drive doesn't matter).

I would clone the C: drive to a new hard drive and boot off the new drive to see if the problem continues.

If it is caused by the denoise filter then there is something wrong with the filter. Maybe downloading an updated version that has had this bug worked out or else stop using it.

Sorry there is not much more that I can add.

I bought a copy of Dark City, which I'd like to re-encode for my HTPCs, but RipBot is not cropping it correctly. It's supposed to be 2.35:1, which should be 1920x816, but when I set it to that in RipBot, it crops off a good portion of the top and bottom. Is there anything I can look at to fix this? It plays fine in VLC and MPC. Thanks for any help.

[pacaveli211]

[mbc0]

Hi,

I have been using Ripbot for the last few days after thinking I had FINALLY found a solution (after using Vidcoder, Xvid4PSP top name a few of probably a dozen programs) I have been using the AVCHD setting choosing 1280X720 as the resolution & 640Kbps for 6 Channel Sound & CQ 18 for maximum quality. I have been getting fantastic results in both quality & file sizes...for example

A Bugs Life 2.2GB
Cats & Dogs 2.7GB
Zombieland 2.6GB
Wild Hogs 2.6GB

But now the problem I have is that for the following movies I am getting great quality but ridiculous file sizes

Black Death 9.6GB
Juno 10.2GB
Bend It Like Beckham 8.6GB

I have checked the output with mediainfo & they are definately 1280X720 & 640kbps like the rest but approx 2 times the file size. This is due to the video stream now becoming 10.1 mbps instead of the usual 3500 - 5000 I have been getting on the other films.

Can someone please point me in the right direction as to the best solution to this as even on my Quad Core it is taking 4 hours for each movie (the previous movies were taking about 2)

Many Thanks for those that take the time to read my post...

[Atak_Snajpera]

most likely previous movies were easier to encode/compress (less motion ,less details). Also less motion,less details means faster encoding.

[mbc0]

Can I ask what settings people use to get a good quality/file size for 720p encoding please?

Thanks for your help. I downloaded the latest installer package. What is the name of the denoiser that ripbot uses?:thanks:

[Ajax_Undone]

hqdn3d I believe.
It doesn't appear to have been updated for quite some time though.
http://akuvian.org/src/avisynth/hqdn3d/Changelog

Ripbot seems to be using the latest version. http://akuvian.org/src/avisynth/hqdn3d/ sorry man wish I could be more help.

[billqs]

I found the following information on hqdn3d from this thread:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=118255&highlight=grain+optimizer

- hqdn3d() can be tweaked (no need to keep the strong defaults if you have near-clean anime already), and is just so fast compared to the others that I prefer it over, say, fft3dfilter.

I'm not denoising anime but would it be of use for me to lower the defaults so that the denoising would be a little more gentle? I should be able to do this pretty simply from the script that Ripbot produces. Are there any good setting suggestions... or should I try some to see what works?

[NiteShdw]

I'm having a crazy issue with RipBot: None of the AVS scripts will run, whether in the application or running the CMD files in the temp folder.

I just reinstalled Windows 7 x64. I download RipBot 1.16.4 and dutifully installed all 4 required applications using the four links on the startup page. The problem is that none of the scripts do anything. At the video Properties screen, it cannot create a frame.bmp, when clicking OK on the screen (which runs getinfo.avs), nothing happens and RipBot just says "Gathering Information...". If I pull up some left over jobs from my old Windows drive, I get click Start but it just says Initializing and in task manager I see avs2yuv and pipebuf using almost no RAM and no CPU at all. I even left it like that for a full day just to make sure.

I've reinstalled ffdshow, the splitter, and AVISynth 2.5.8 ST a dozen times and nothing is working. I'm really frustrated because everything worked just fine on my old Windows 7 install and I still have some jobs waiting to be processed.

What's really odd is that the Preview Script works just fine and I can watch the video in MPC x64.

Any ideas what's going on?

[NiteShdw]

The Video your trying to rip is either corrupt or hasn't been decrypted.

Actually, that's not the case. The video was ripped on my old installation of Windows 7 and the encode started just fine on that system. I just canceled it in order to install Windows 7 on my new SSD.

The same problem also happens on 4 existing rips that I already converted on my old Windows 7 system.

[QBhd]

I have a small beef/suggestion that RipBot264 NEEDS... The Properties window is fantastic and has just about everything we need, however there is a small yet very important thing missing. And that is AddBorders(). As we all know Blu-Ray and AVCHD must be specifc sizes (eg 1920x1080, etc etc) and addborders is the easiest way to get a 1920x800 file to spec without any special work. The current way to do this in RipBot264 is with the resize pulldowns, but we don't want to resize... just add borders. So to do this we have to manually insert the AddBorders() to the bottom of the script to do what we want without resizing. I am sure there is a way for another pulldown option to allow us to add borders without manual insertion

448 kbps is crap. at the very least I'd keep the cores 1536 DTS and 640 AC3
changing framerate is unnecessary and will only potentially cause problems

[laserfan]

448 kbps is crap. at the very least I'd keep the cores 1536 DTS and 640 AC3
changing framerate is unnecessary and will only potentially cause problems448kbps is hardly "crap", and it's virtually impossible to tell the difference between 640 and 448!

Still, if an audiotrack can be "cored" to 640 then that's typically what I'll do. If it's a 1536 DTS then I will convert to 448kbps DD. :p

Look at this article: (http://www.hemagazine.com/node/Dolby_TrueHD_DTS-MA_versus_Uncompressed_PCM?page=0%2C0)

The shocker came when we compared the lower 448 kbps Dolby Digital DVD bitrate to the original. There was an audible difference, but it was only ever-so-slightly noticeable (and this is with a high end audio system in an acoustically controlled environment that is so far beyond what typical home theater systems are capable of resolving).

[pacaveli211]

448 is still crap. an average trueHD track is 2500-3500kbps
ripbot has a 640kbps encode option too, you don't have to use 448

[soneca]

Of course they have that option with less compression will be the one I use!
Dolby Digital/448kbps never been bad, not even close ...
Forget the numbers a bit and listen more closely.

[jandor]

In the RipBot, there is no option for DUAL AUDIO...
That is very much asked by me and many people.

[LigH]

The limitation to 448 kbps will be related to the DVD era. DVD specs limited AC3 to 448 kbps even though AC3 alone (A-52a) would have supported up to 640 kbps. Unfortunately, AC3 decoder manufacturers made chips which also supported only up to 448 kbps, and so A/V receivers existed which were incompatible to e.g. AC3Filter/ffdshow on-the-fly recoding multi channel audio to AC3 with 640 kbps.

Modern Blu-ray Home Cinema sets should be compatible to 640 kbps AC3, though...

[mbc0]

Many Thanks For The Info Guys, This is pretty much what I have been doing and I have been using 640 on the AC3, I have had great results except I have hit a few 90 minute movies that came out close to the 10gb size!! for those I chose 2 pass 4000 kbps & got a 2.5-3gb file size & excellent results on the media center....I have already found a few of the split m2ts movies & used tsmuxer to make one big file....

Thanks Again

[soneca]

I have tested the DD 640kbps on some older receivers without problems.
Some of the first receivers with Dolby Digital decoder had a defect and can not accept this bitrate tracks, despite the limit of 640kbps always be part of the specifications Dolby Digital.

[Big Vern]

When doing an AVCHD in ripbot, does it put chapters in automatically, or is the an option somewhere so you can do them yourself?

Regards...

[laserfan]

448 is still crap.We need Atak to tell you just how "full of it" you are. Unlike the rest of us, someone with two million hits on his thread can say anything he likes! :p

[73ChargerFan]

I'm using RipBot264 1.16.4

I encoded a few short videos from m2ts to mp4, then exited. I decided to re-encode with a few different settings, but I can't Edit the jobs in the queue.

I get an error message:
Cannot Open file "C:\Apps(x86)\RibBot264\Tools\MediaInfo\.bmp"

Which, of course, is an invalid file name.

Any ideas?

Edit:
I re-created the jobs because I remember the settings. But something went wrong with RipBot anyway.

[zazon]

do a manual crop...

Thanks Paca. I tried the manual crop. The picture seems OK, but I now get black bars at the top and bottom of the picture, which I never had before. It makes me think the picture is 1920x816, but includes the black bars. If I crop automatically, it cuts off the picture. I've done a number of movies this way and never had this problem before. I don't understand what's going on here. Thanks for any help.

[soneca]

It's always good to check the automatic crop, especially in darker films.

[smokerdalejash]

great program Atak. just going to add a few suggestions.

1. adding a pause button to the gui

2. when adding a new file remember the audio normalize as off

3. make the gui maximizable

I've wanted a pause and more audio options forever
specifically I want HD demux and copy
Dual audio wouldn't be useful to me, but by no means would it be a bad thing to have

zazon - after you set the manual crop did you set the options for the crop?
if it is in fact a 2.35:1 movie you should be cropping about 132px off the top and bottom
and as soneca said....you'll want to check (preview script) to make sure it all looks ok

When English is the original audio, for those who master it does not matter one second audio.
But for users from other countries, the second audio is necessary.

Unless the cartoon here in Brasil where the dubbing is very well done.

Just out of curiosity, are you planning on making ripbot work with an x64 version of ffdshow? I installed rev3771 x64 (SVN builds by clsid) and Ripbot still wouldn't run until I installed rev3500+ with a 32 bit build. Let me know asap!

I was wondering if someone can help me out. I have through this forum and I can't seem to find an answer.

Have you tried a different video? It may be a corruption in the particular video your using. I know if the aspect ratio is not set in some mpg's it stalls at gathering information. You might check.

[korn baby]

Yeah, it happens on any video i try to add. Mkv or files from a blu ray rip.........

[Ajax_Undone]

hmmm. Are you using the x64 ffdshow or x86 (eg 32bit) ffdshow.

Give this version a try.

[korn baby]

@Ajax_Undone, Thanks for your assistance. I uninstalled the ffdshow i had instealled, and tried the version from your link. Still getting the same result. its really weird because everything was working fine and then for no reason at all I started having this issue =(

[pacaveli211]

not that I know of
I actually tried to find as much in this thread as I could
whenever I've had that issue it was something with FFDshow

the mediafire is dead because ajax has probably updated his installer since then
you can click from his signature from just a bit above on this page or go here:

I appreciate your help. I just uninstalled everything again following the instructions in one of the above links, then tried the installer from Ajax. still the same issue......I really don't know what else to do...I guess I can try and make handbrake do as good a job as ripbot for converting my blu ray movies.....I'm really going to miss ripbot...I really liked it =)

[pacaveli211]

well in that case go ahead and send me your i7 since you won't be able to do ripbot encoding anymore =P

someone else here may have some other ideas. see if you can get Atak to help ya

Jandor,

Thanks for the suggetions.....I followed this step by step. Still have the same issue.

[jandor]

korn baby,

Until the moment that you quote the RipBot worked well ...
After that ... you remember the last program you installed on your PC?
Did you lose a lot if you use System Restore?
You think you'll miss something? What would you have installed after the effective functioning of RipBot?
It may be some extra program conflicted with the tools RipBot. We would have to figure out which.
I believe that you have already tried deleting and downloading again RipBot264 v1.16.4?

Log into "Windows Explorer" and type: Control Panel\All Items Control Panel\Recovery --> In... Open System Restore
Or "Start" -> and type ... rstrui.exe --> Enter
See first if this Will not delete anything important ... Make a backup first.

I would not be without using RipBot264...
Think ... no problem unsolved.

[dzirkelb]

great program Atak. just going to add a few suggestions.

1. adding a pause button to the gui

2. when adding a new file remember the audio normalize as off

3. make the gui maximizable

+1 for the pause!! My compressions take around 6 hours each, and if I don't time it right, then the cpu is unusable for that day or I have to cancel it and start it all over again.

Another good idea, if it is even possible, is the option to put your computer to sleep after the compression is done. I always start a compression before I go to bed. It'd be nice if it would go to sleep when the compression is done.

However, I haven't done any testing to see if the cpu will just go to sleep when it is done on it's own or not.

After starting the encode...
On the main screen select the option: "Shutdown When finished".

silly question

Does that shutdown ripbot, or does it shutdown my computer? I access it remotely often throughout the day while at work, so I need the ability to wake it up, but I can't power it up when it is off I don't believe.

And, I will just test this myself sometime this week, just wondering :)

[soneca]

To shutdown the computer.

I'd like two...

- 2 audio tracks, especially for avchd

- higher quality options for interlaced video

[pacaveli211]

if your PC is already set to sleep after being idle, it should automatically go to sleep after ripbot is done (after the idle time)

it does not appear that I have a restore point close to the last date I remember encoding my last blu ray. I do appreciate the help...but nothing seems to be working.....its frustrating, but I think handbreake can get the job done

[soneca]

korn baby,
Where was "installed" the RipBot?
Show full directory path.

[jack600i]

Very Good software。

[jandor]

If you have a problem to open a MKV or MP4 (x264/H.264) or not ...
get used to do the Demux by tsMuxeR (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/tsMuxeR) and work with video files and separate audio (.264 + AC3 or DTS).
This procedure also helps to improve quality somewhat, without increasing the size of the file.

[Browser404]

I've searched for help without any luck (google points me to a result here but the page tells me to bug off lol, and the form search doesn't take me to the page with the result on it just the this thread).

I've been using RipBot for a long time now, though recently I went from Win7 to Win7 64bit and downloaded the current version of RipBot, but now I'm getting an error and it doesn't work properly anymore, the error says, Failed to get data for 'isWhitelist' and nothing else, after that it opens but doesn't work correctly. Opening a MKV causes RipBot to sit there just saying Gathering information.... but nothing happens. Clicking abort gives me the error "External Exception C000071C", from then on it won't even exit giving that error again and the process has to be ended.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

edit..
If anyone is kind enough to reply with help, please add my name to the post so I can search for it, this thread is huge and it otherwise might be hard to find help, or PM me to let me know if you would, thanks again.

uninstall ffdshow then download latest version from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/files/SVN%20builds%20by%20clsid/generic%20builds/

[zazon]

Anyone know what the resolution for a 1.66:1 video should be in RipBot?

[Atak_Snajpera]

height / 1.66 = width

[jandor]

I have Windows 7 64bit and everything works perfectly for me... Blu-ray to MKV or MP4, MKV to MP4...
provided they contain audio AC3 or DTS.
I noticed now that I can not open the MKV with AAC in the RipBot.

Also I do not usually work from AAC.
The important thing for me is that the RipBot convert an AC3 or DTS to AAC, and he does it with great quality.


P.S.

Resolved: I did a mux with a MKVmerge to MP4 video with AAC audio and it worked well in RipBot.

[Browser404]

uninstall ffdshow then download latest version from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/files/SVN%20builds%20by%20clsid/generic%20builds/

Thanks alot, I thought I had a new version but was obviously behind. On a side note it wouldn't work after installing Java x64, only once I installed the 32 bit also.

Anyway I'm happy again and have a bunch of encoding to catch up on, thanks again.

I've tried the solution by jandor but it won't help.

I've the following packages installed:
ffdshow rev3785 by clsid
ffdshow rev3785 x64 by clsid <--- deleting that hasn't fixed the problem
Haali Matroska Splitter from 03/03/2011
.Net Framework 4
Java 6U24
Java 6U24 x64 <--- deleting that hasn't fixed the problem
AviSynth 2.58

Would be great if someone knows how to fix that problem.

[jandor]

klopsknoedel,

You tried to do a "Demux" with tsMuxeR and leave only the video and audio stream that interests you.
I think you gave a "knot" in eac3to, It has a lot of audio on your MKV or Blu-ray. rs rs rs
Enjoy you're in tsMuxer and cut only two minutes to test.
Try again, now that way.

[klopsknoedel]

That's what i've did.
In RipBot i've selected these streams:
Video: h264/AVC (left eye), 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9)
Audio: DTS Hi-Res, German, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 2046kbps, 48kHz
(core: DTS, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 1509kbps, 48kHz)
Subtitles: Subtitle (PGS), German

So these streams will be extracted.

I've seen that only one of my Blu-Ray-Discs produces this error.
It's the "Residen Evil: Afterlife" Blu-Ray. I haven't bought the 3D - Version, just the standard
one!! But i can see that there are 2 Video-Streams (left eye / right eye).
Is it possible that RipBot (eac3to / tsMuxeR) can't handle that?

UPDATE
Demux the whole movie with tsMuxer WITHOUT using RipBot worked perfectly. Seems that's a RipBot - Problem.

[jandor]

klopsknoedel,

Try to make a first Mux with this new version of MKVmerge (mmg) (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MKVtoolnix), and then the Demux with tsMuxeR if you want.
The MKVmerge should show another video track.

Often, the files originated MKVmerge can not run in tsMuxeR.

In this case you would first...
1) MVmerge Mux
2) Mux to MKV in AVI-Mux GUI
3) tsMuxeR Demux.

After MKVmerge can also send direct to RipBot.

P. S.
Oops! Your file is Blu-ray.

[klopsknoedel]

It's a little bit more complicated.
On the Blu-Ray RipBot recognizes the .mpls - file which contains the chapters, .m2ts - files and anything else.
So RipBot loads these 2 files:
00000.m2ts -> 15,3 GB; contains 1 video-stream (right-eye); all 3 audio-streams; 1 PGS-Stream
00013.m2ts -> 24 KB; contains 1 video-stream (left-eye); 0 audio-streams; 0 PGS

The strange thing is that the 00013.m2ts is far to small to have the whole left-eye-video-stream included. So it seems that this m2ts is used as a placeholder for the 3D - BluRay or something similar.
Because of the missing stream. RipBot (eac3to) crashes.

I've did the follow workaround:

1. added the 00000.m2ts to tsMuxer
2. deselected the streams i don't need
3. muxed the remaining streams into a new .m2ts - File
4. loaded that new file with ripbot and everything works fine

So it seems that on the "Resident Evil: Afterlife" - BluRay (Standard-Version) are to video-streams. A real video-stream which is located in the 00000.m2ts file and a DUMMY-video-stream in the 00013.m2ts for the 3D - Version.

I think that on the 3D-Version of that BluRay the 00013.m2ts contains a real stream.
So RipBot should check if a .m2ts is big enough to contain a Full-HD, 90min Video-Stream. IF NOT this stream shouldn't be selectable.


UPDATE
I've added the log-files

[jandor]

klopsknoedel,

If the file is an original Blu-ray ...
The last alternative would be if you use DVDFab or BD Rebuilder to separate only the main video and audio. And subtitles, if you prefer.
I guess you can not make the decrypter in BD Rebuilder, DVDFab I know that does this.

[klopsknoedel]

yes it's an original bought blu-ray.

i would try this. thanks for your help.

Would be great if Atak could give a statement

UPDATE
It doesn't matter which stream (left-eye/right-eye) i select, RipBot (eac3to) crashes.
My guess: RipBot things that the whole audio-stream is included in both files, the 00000.m2ts and 00013.m2ts. But it's not so RipBot says that the audio-stream is corrupt which is not!

So for now I go with the workaround to demux the 00000.m2ts externaly in tsmuxer and load the demuxed streams into RipBot. That works.

[pacaveli211]

the 3d stuff is in the SSIF files

[klopsknoedel]

I know but this bluray is NO 3D-BluRay at all.
It's just authored as one.
The "Resident Evil: Afterlife" was released in 2 Versions.
Standard-Version
3D-Version
I bought the standard-Version which got authored as a 3D-BluRay. So this version also contains the SSIF-Folder with it's files. But the 00013.m2ts - files, which contains the video-stream for the other eye only provides a dummy-stream.

[klopsknoedel]

Strange!!!

The size of that disc is 29GB but its Stream-Folder has a size of 52.7GB. (all m2ts-files: 29GB; SSIF-Folder: 23GB)

[pacaveli211]

I know but this bluray is NO 3D-BluRay at all.
yes I know...it should contain 2d and 3d of the movie though
as far as I know anyways.
The size of that disc is 29GB but its Stream-Folder has a size of 52.7GB. (all m2ts-files: 29GB; SSIF-Folder: 23GB)
yeah, that's normal. has something to do with referencing data that's already there...or something
I really don't mess with 3D much or know jack about it in terms of the bluray disc stuff

[pascalwil]

Sorry if this has been answered in the 400+ pages of the past!

How can I get RipBot264 to output Interlaced (1080i like input)? Am I missing a flag somewhere in the GUI?

Thanks

[pascalwil]

Thanks or the tip Atak_Snajpera.

And thank you for your tool. Very good.

I've done as instructed and it worked. But I get MBAFF for Scan type instead of Interlaced like original.
Is it the same or is there another flag to use to get Interlaced?

Cheers

[Atak_Snajpera]

MBAFF = Interlaced

Hi atak
are there any plans to support Blu-Rays which have the 3D-Blu-Ray-Structure like in my case (see the problem in the posts above)?

I would like to help but i don't know how i could generate a sample to upload it.

Hi ,

Does anyone used CROP option ??

How does it works ??? Do I need to make other settings or to attach avisynth file with crop options ???

Thanks for help !

I've tried "crop" command but seems do not work :(

[SciFer]

Hi guys, I'm having the same problem as GSingh but I didn't see a response solution. Diff is my OS is Vista 32 bit. I've never had this issue before and have used RB for many yrs (but never denoise feature). The only change is that I updated Ribot to latest version. I had an old version (pre-divx output). For me the result was an 1.91GB AVCHD with no actual video when played, although media info said "BDAV: 1.91GB 2hr 34mins Video: 161 kbs avc" If I don't mess with the denoise option it works fine. FYI, I did read the 1st post about having directX 9.0c, I currently have ver 10. Surely you don't mean downgrade to version 9, right? I have old vid card Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX with drivers dated from 07/10/2010.

I just installed Windows 7 recently and ripbot is giving me problems. Same goes for my friends computer as well. first off, if I try to denoise a video, it says "LoadPlugin: unable to load "D:\Program Files\ripbot264\tools\avisynth plugins\fft3dgpu\fft3dgpu.dll" (S:\temp\ripbot264temp\job1\job1_preview.avs"

and if I just try to do a straight up 2 pass encode without any cropping or any other tweaks, it just stops at the end of the first pass.

Any solution?


Also, I saw someone else post another issue that I had as well regarding when adding subtitles sometimes it would freeze (unabe to quit, "OK" button was greyed/unable to close and therefore unable to close the add subtitle dialog window). I would have to quit program via task manager then restart windows and then it would the add subtitles function would work again (but it would eventually give me the same error again and would have to reboot, again).

Any solutions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! :thanks:

I'll do it.
Then I return here to say if it worked.
Actually, this is a problem of another person.

Thank you.

P.S.
The installation of the DirectX did not solve. It needed to exchange the graphic card.

HOW DO I CROP ????

PLS , A LITTLE HELP !!!!!

It seems that automatic crop do not work :(

[Lighto]

@benjyv
CROP *dropdown* > manually ?

[Atak_Snajpera]

@benjyv
Why do you always have to ask those rhetorical questions? If automatic crop does not work so why don't you use manual crop then?

[jandor]

HOW DO I CROP ????

PLS , A LITTLE HELP !!!!!

It seems that automatic crop do not work :(

What resolution and aspect ratio of your original video?
You want to resize the resolution to which format?
I have to leave now, maybe I'm not here to answer it.


Atak,

I need to convert a DVD 720 x 480 - Aspect Ratio 4:3 without distortion (perfectly)...
Still missing in RipBot an automatic option to convert 4:3 to 16:9. Thus there would be no need for "Manually" CROP, just resizing.
No need to resize to 720 x 540 and then cut Top=70 + Bottom=70. That would be correct, but...

At the moment I need to simulate a blu-ray using tsMuxeR, and the BD Rebuilder to convert 4:3 --> 16:9
Need to enter Setup BDRebuilder and adjust some settings. The whole process is very fast.
Then simply use the RipBot and apply the Automatically CROP --> Size --> Custom [x.xx:1] --> 720 x 400 or 720 x 406
The Aspect Ratio shown by RipBot remains 1.33:1. Do not worry.
Adding all these tasks are generated approximately 25GB of temp files (garbage).

My method crazy to work in RipBot, but it works.
1) DVDFab - DVD Decrypter (DVD-9 no compression)
2) Create a folder to save a separate copy of the muxing tsMuxeR. This folder should be empty.
3) tsMuxeR - "Add " VTS_01_1 and "Join" the other... VTS_01_2, VTS_01_3... --> muxing "Blu-ray disc"
4) BD Rebuilder - Create the files folder Blu-ray
5) RipBot - Add...
6) Open the folder generated by BD Rebuilder --> WORKFILES folder --> VID_00000 --> AUD_00000_4352
In RipBot --> Use Level: (High 3.0 or 3.1) Custom.

You can not delete anything without first finishing the encode by RipBot.

Presets BD Rebuilder:
Settings --> Output Options --> Select Target Size BD-9 (DVD-9)
Settings --> Encoder Settings --> Disable Automatic Quality Settings
Settings --> Encoder Settings --> Hight Quality (Deafault)
Settings --> Setup --> Select in...

Video Encoding Options:
- Use DEINTERLACER on interlaced sources
- Convert 4:3 to 16:9 (w/clipping)

Audio Encoding Options:
- Use 448 Kbs for AC3 encoding

General Encoding Options:
- Movie Only Playback Loop
- IVTC sources with 3.2 pulldown


Other...

Original DVD 720 x 480 - Aspect Ratio 16:9

Original RIP 640 x 480 - Aspect Ratio 4:3
Manually CROP --> Top=60 and Bottom=60 --> Size --> Custom 1,78:1 --> 640 x 360
For Variable (VBR) audio, use "Copy stream". This prevents a delay.

Original Rip 640 x 464 - Aspect Ratio 1,379
Manually CROP --> Top=52 and Bottom=52 --> Size --> Custom 1,78:1 --> 640 x 360
For Variable (VBR) audio, use "Copy stream". This prevents a delay.

I hope I have been clear in my explanation.

[benjyv]

Hi ,

@Atak_Snajpera @Lighto

If automatic crop does not work so why don't you use manual crop then?
...because I DON"T KNOW HOW TO CROP :(

you know bluray players will play dvds, right?
also...you can probably join / remux with TSmuxer in one step. tsmuxer does have join options

[benjyv]

THANKS soneca !!!!

Looking forward....... :D

[jandor]

Great, pacaveli211!
The RipBot does not resize correctly from 4:3 to 16:9, the CROP does not solve one pass.
I need to resize to 720 x 540 first, then return and reencoding.
That's why I have to use extra tools, so I do not need two encodings.
Using the BD Rebuilder before taking to the RipBot, this process is straightforward.
I can not just cut Top=40 + Bottom=40, because a 4:3 aspect ratio is not correct.
If it was 720 x 480 Aspect Ratio 16:9, I resize to 720 x 400 direct, without cuts.

pacaveli211,
From the BDRip and BRRip I always use the demux tsMuxeR.
From the original DVD 720 x 480 Aspect Ratio 16:9, always choose the latter VOB.

Before... Aspect Ratio 4:3
http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/4463/www1i.jpg

After... Aspect Ratio 16:9 - Perfect
Originated from BD Rebuilder (4:3 to 16:9) for RipBot --> Automatically CROP --> Size --> Custom x,xx:1 --> 720 x 400
http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/9089/www2a.jpg

The tsMuxeR has this function but does not work for RipBot.
http://img860.imageshack.us/img860/7500/semttulo1111111.jpg

It changes the aspect ratio to 1.78:1, but when you resize to 720 x 406 at the end he presents as shown below.
Originated from tsMuxeR (4:3 to 16:9) for RipBot --> Automatically CROP --> Size --> Custom 1,78:1 --> 720 x 406
Besides the aspect ratio incorrect, still caused a delay with no possibility of adjustment.
http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/1042/www3.jpg

Meanwhile, I am going to keep my method crazy, which always worked well.
I always have some left over 30GB for the whole process ... :):)
Until someone show me another simpler solution, which can operate in RipBot.
I always prefer to convert my old DVDs or any video using the RipBot.
This was the only way found. I'll never give up the RipBot.

[pacaveli211]

yeah I still don't understand why you're going through all that
why not just make a dvd copy?
it's not like you're getting better quality.
and I 100% disagree with cropping out parts of the video...that's no good
bluray players will play 4:3 AR material...even if you insist on burning a BD9 / BD5 or whatever you're doing
just encode to 960x720 or 1440x1080

[jandor]

pacaveli211
It's just a suggestion, among other possible variations.
I also prefer the original aspect ratio.

Thanks!

[pacaveli211]

the one you showed as incorrect you chose auto crop...auto crop isn't going to crop the movie
it cropped the pillar bars out like it should've and then resized it to 16:9 as specified
this could be played and then adjusted via your tv settings back to 4:3 if wanted
or you could change to a manual crop and add appropriate cropping to the top and bottom to achieve a 'zoom' effect to avoid the stretching
however....as I was saying, this will result in loss of some of the video

[jandor]

Yes, I know. pacaveli211
I just tried to copy the method of BD Rebuilder.
Nor is it possible to do what you say ... is not so simple.
The cut of a video 720x480 AR 4:3 when you force to AR 16:9 will always be greater.
In this particular case, the BD Rebuilder does all this automatically: It computes, resize and crop.
This issue of CROP is the most tedious in the coding.

The RipBot is very good because it automatically recognizes the Aspect Ratio and gives you the best resolution. Only in this case it does not.

[thegeby]

Loyal user here, but getting crosseyed from searching the thread.

So, is there a easy to disable MKV header compression in the ripbot264 interface? I think it involves

" --compression -1:none "

..but I am no techie and do not where to put it:confused:

[pacaveli211]

ripbot doesn't apply header compression

[thegeby]

ripbot doesn't apply header compression

Great. Thanks.

[rantonio]

I have been using ripbot for a while to do both video and audio with no issues. But lately I've been using eac3to to get dtsma, truehd audio etc, and ripbot for just the video. Then use mkvmerge. But I've noticed on all of the videos there is the slightest of sync problems. The audio is always slightly ahead of the video. Again it's not way off, but when comparing to the original blu-ray I can see the difference. I know I can add delay in mkvmerge but that's hit or miss. I am trying the same video in handbrake and will see if I have the same issues. Are there any suggestions on what else to try? Thanks for the help.

[pacaveli211]

pull the playlist from the original bluray into tsmuxer and look at the audio track
does it have delay on the original disc itself?
are you messing with the framerate at all? perhaps changing 24fps to 23.976fps

[rantonio]

tsmuxer nor eac3to show any delay (eac3to normally fixes this). Also I dont change much of anything in ripbot. Just doing a 2 pass to mkv. I looked back at the job and the framerate was greyed out 23.976, but I've never changed it (and can't seem to).

[pacaveli211]

yeah in order to change the framerate you would have to go into properties for the vid stream

I'd verify the source is at 23.976 as well
eac3to should tell you this I believe, TSmuxer will also

[jandor]

Atak,

New version... RipBot264 v1.16.5, perfect!

For me... Before, I had a delay on some DVD files.
With this new version has corrected the problem.

Great, Thanks!

[dbone1026]

Anyone have issues extracting v1.16.?. When I use 7zip and try to extract I get the error messages about unsupported compression method for each of the files (about 542 messages)

[pacaveli211]

that's what happens when you use dumb software like 7zip =)
I'm guessing you either have an old version of 7zip or your download got corrupted (download it again)

[dbone1026]

Yup, just updated to the latest 7z and that did the trick. Want to test out the new HD interlaced profile as 1080i always causes issues.

:thanks:

[soneca]

Atak,

Thanks!!!:)

[pacaveli211]

Added: HD-Full and HD-Ready resize profile for 1,33:1 (4:3) aspect ratio
awesome, now I can pillar bar anything 1.33

[JimmyTheSaint]

I'm new to creating my own videos. My only need is, a few times a year, I have some a dvd's vob's, but there's no avi or mkv version available, so I have to create my own. I just used RipBot to create mkv's out of a DVD's vob's, then used mkvmerge to put them together. The result is 734MB, but the original vob's sum to 4.3GB. The small mkv looks to be the same quality as the vob's. Is mkv always this good? Is there something I'm not understanding here about losing/preserving quality?

[benjyv]

Hi Atak ,

I saw a new version of RipBot . THANKS for it !!

Can you tell me what's new with this version ?
What are the improvements ??

thx again !!!;-)

PS : I saw that is a new option "interlaced " :D...maybe there are other , too

[dbone1026]

Finished testing the new HD interlaced profile on a 1080i BluRay that I have been having a lot of problems with. The new profile worked great!

:thanks:

[Daeymien]

Safe to assume that the MP4Box packaged with 1.16.5 is a build that doesn't barf on muxing mp4s > 4GB?

[pacaveli211]

The small mkv looks to be the same quality as the vob's. Is mkv always this good? Is there something I'm not understanding here about losing/preserving quality?

there are a lot of factors to consider here
you are probably dropping multiple audio / subtitle tracks (maybe even a secondary video track)
so that's going to drop the size down.
you're probably encoding the movie only, where as the original dvd may have a bunch of extras and such
if you're encoding animated stuff it can be compressed A LOT without losing any noticeable quality

I don't know what settings you're using for resolution or quality or audio. these all impact filesize as well

just putting something in an MKV container doesn't really give you a substantial reduction in filesize. the encoding is what's dropping the filesize. h264 is better than MPEG2 though.

personally I'd suggest that you set your CQ value lower (lower CQ # = higher quality)
or if you really want lossless...just remux the vobs to mkv without doing any encoding

[puplone]

I have encoded some video files with RipBot264 from avi source to mp4.
Now I want to add poster on those files without re-encoding the whole stream. I didn't find that option on any muxing GUI. (only mkvMerge probably have it under attachment tab. but it produces .mkv only. I need .mp4 container).

Can anybody help me on this?

[pacaveli211]

looks like YAMB will do it as long as you have mp4tags (part of mpeg4ip tools)
you can get mpeg4iptools here:
http://www.digital-digest.com/software/download.php?sid=1037&ssid=0&did=1
this may be available somewhere else...but this is about the only place I could find a valid link without doing any extensive searching
this appears to be the home page for that http://mpeg4ip.sourceforge.net/ but no download links that I saw
you can grab YAMB here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=93927
and here's a thread about MP4 tagging / metadata that might have some other info/solutions for ya: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=98018

the only other thing you need is mp4box which is in ripbot's tools folder

[puplone]

@pacaveli211:

Thanks for your guidance. But I've already struggled with YAMB. I have YAMB 2.0 installed, it appears very unstable in my system.

Yeah, I've found the File Tagger tool earlier also, but it always fails to edit tags showing an error : "Access violation at address 00594AE2 in module 'Yamb.exe'. Read of address 00000030." Don't know what that means. Seems like it is encountering with some miscommunication related to system memory allocation. Even if it can edit the tag once in a blue moon; there are multiple places to include images: one is the left side of the main pane of tagger and other under 'more' where you can add multiple graphics to mp4 metadata. None worked for me.

If I encode a video using RipBot and include poster through it; Windows shows the poster included at the thumbnail of encoded mp4 instead of showing first (or sequel) preview frame. YAMB muxed files don't act that way even after successfully including the graphic in metadata.

Since RipBot itself can do the magic, can anybody tell me what is the trick?

ripbot does it during the mux with mp4box
for example:
-itags cover="<Drive Letter>:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job<number>\poster.jpg"
check your job<number>_MuxFiles.cmd
for the full mux command

[pacaveli211]

Thanks, pacaveli211! That was enough info for me to figure out how to do the things I need to do.

alright, if you're lookin to do just a mux/lossless mkvmerge will auto recognize multiple subsequent vobs. so you just have to add the first one and then mux, it'll do the rest for ya

[puplone]

ripbot does it during the mux with mp4box
for example:
-itags cover="<Drive Letter>:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job<number>\poster.jpg"

Yeah I've done it using mp4box command line as guided by you.
Thank you pacaveli211. YOU ARE THE MAN.

Wondering there is no GUI of mp4box using most of its command line abilities. But no prob, command line is OK for me.

Thank you soooooooooooo much once again.

Hi ,

Last 3 days I tried to encode 1080p few movies. ALL of them resulted WRONG deinterlaced ,i.e. horizontal lines have appeared on the images.
Should I make additional settings comparing with settings for 720p ???

Can someone explain me what's happened ???
Could be a player mistake ??? I don't think so , because the ORIGINAL BD plays very well...

I saw that within deinterlace section there are 4 options..Should I use one of them depending on certain parameters of the original movie ???

Pls ,help me to solve this mystery !!!!

To my knowledge there should be no need to deinterlace 1080p content. Can you confirm what profile you are using?

@dbone1026

I tried 4.1...Am I wrong ??

But on the other hand I have an old issue :
- My OS is win 7 x64 !!!
- to be able to run Ripbot I had to install ffdshow for 32 ( otherwise it does not work ) and to be able to play / watch any movie in MPCHomecinema I had to install ffdshow for 64
I don't think this is a proper way but it is the only one that works.
Maybe I didn't found a proper version for these two softs ( you can help me with a link !!! :D )

Can you have another solution to solve this issue ?

PS : I must tell you that I'm using these settings for MPCHomecinema because I also have a CUDA device ( http://imouto.my/watching-h264-videos-using-compute-unified-device-architecture-cuda/ ) and this is the only one I found as a tutorial for my settings.. I'm obsessed with this , especially since Atak_Snajpera told someone that he uses from the beginning win7 x64 for Ripbot and also ffdshow, but I did not understand which version of it :hmmm:

The reason I asked is because there are now 2 4.1 profiles (One is progressive which you would use for 1080p, and one is interlaced which you would use for 1080i). Wasn't sure which profile you used (the new profiles exist with the latest build Atak just released)

[benjyv]

I see , NO , I'm used progressive 4.1 profile for 1080p.
The new one I never used because I must test it first....
well , now can you help me to solve the mystery ???

[dcoleman5]

What is the old Video Profile "[HIGH 4.0] HD . Bluray . Consoles" considered to be?
Is it now what is called [HIGH 4.0] HD . Interlaced ?
Or is it now what is now called [HIGH 4.0] HD . Progressive ?

What is the old Video Profile "[HIGH 4.0] HD . Bluray . Consoles" considered to be?
Is it now what is called [HIGH 4.0] HD . Interlaced ? Or is what is now called [HIGH 4.0] HD . Progressive what use to be considered "[HIGH 4.0] HD . Bluray . Consoles"

Thank you in Advance.

As per Atak's release notes on the first page of this thread:

Changed: Default HD profile has been renamed to HD . Progressive

[dbone1026]

I see , NO , I'm used progressive 4.1 profile for 1080p.
The new one I never used because I must test it first....
well , now can you help me to solve the mystery ???

Not sure TBH. So far with the latest RipBot I have only tested the 4.1 Interlaced profile, haven't tested the Progressive profile

But on the other hand I have an old issue :
- My OS is win 7 x64 !!!
- to be able to run Ripbot I had to install ffdshow for 32 ( otherwise it does not work ) and to be able to play / watch any movie in MPCHomecinema I had to install ffdshow for 64
I don't think this is a proper way but it is the only one that works.
Maybe I didn't found a proper version for these two softs ( you can help me with a link !!! )

Can you have another solution to solve this issue ?

PS : I must tell you that I'm using these settings for MPCHomecinema because I also have a CUDA device ( http://imouto.my/watching-h264-video...itecture-cuda/ ) and this is the only one I found as a tutorial for my settings.. I'm obsessed with this , especially since Atak_Snajpera told someone that he uses from the beginning win7 x64 for Ripbot and also ffdshow, but I did not understand which version of it :hmmm:

Thanks for any help , including Atak's ;-) !!!

I also use Windows 7 64 bit long ago and never used the MPC-HC 64 bit version, it was never mandatory.

For I know the Atak always uses the latest available revision of ffdshow 32 bit.

[MWD1001]

OK, this may sound like a simple question, but now I'm confused with these new 4.0 profiles. I don't encode HD blu rays, but instead the good old fashioned standard def DVD. In the past, I've always used High 4.0 Profile and had to check each video to see if there was interlacing and then make the appropriate adjustments (inverse telecine, restore 23.976 fps, etc). I've searched all over the internet (including this 10-mile long thread) for an answer to know prevail, so I need to ask after all these years. What profile should I actually be using for standard def DVD's? Should I be using Main 3.0 Profile? I always thought the profile was based on what type of player you'd be using and its capabilities to decode the video (I actually use a WDTV to play my MKV files), not the source video itself (i.e. 1080i, 1080p, 720p, 480p, 480i). But now these new 4.0 profiles (progressive / interlaced) lead to me to believe the profile choice should be based on the video source. I would appreciate any clarity on what the ideal profile should be for 480p/i standard def DVDs. Thanks.

MWD1001

Read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264#Levels

Based on the tables on this site, does it mean there is no benefit encoding standard def DVDs (mostly 720x480) using Level 4.0 if there's no upsampling (or whatever it's called) to a higher resolution (720p/1080p)? I don't understand most of the stuff on that wiki page (but I'm slowly learning). However, the table leads me to believe if I'm encoding 480p source material, then I should be using Level 3.0 (which is the Main profile in Ripbot's settings). Yet, something tells me that's not right either.

Is there not a simple answer to my question? What is the appropriate profile for standard def DVDs?

[benjyv]

@mwd1001

q: What does 4.1 profile do over 4.0 and would 4.1 be better for working with hd dvd/blu ray discs?
A: According to wiki maximum bitrate in 4.0 high profile is limited to 25mbps. 4.1 is limited to 62.5mbps. That's all!

[MWD1001]

@mwd1001

@benjyv

This doesn't answer my question. And based on your confusion in other threads I'll wait on someone else to help. Thanks for trying though.

[jandor]

Normally I use High 3.1 for 720x480 approximate
and High 4.0 HD Progressive for 1280x720 HD or above.

[pacaveli211]

profiles are indicative of output, not input

[MWD1001]

profiles are indicative of output, not input

That's what I always thought.

If that is the case, then what is the purpose of the two new profiles in v1.16.5? Are [High 4.0] HD, Interlaced and [High 4.0] HD, Progressive output specific? To me it sounds like these two new profiles are input specific based on the source of the HD material. Hence my confusion.

[hoju3508]

If that is the case, then what is the purpose of the two new profiles in v1.16.5? Are [High 4.0] HD, Interlaced and [High 4.0] HD, Progressive output specific?

The HD, Interlaced profile adds --tff to the x264 command for interlaced sources.

The HD, Interlaced profile adds --tff to the x264 command for interlaced sources.

http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1487587&postcount=9330

OK, so let me get this straight. All of the profiles up until this latest release were designed with the "end results" in mind based on decoder support (Ipod/Ipad/AppleTV/Consoles/HD Players/etc). But these new HD profiles are designed based on the "beginning source" in mind (interlaced/progressive HD sources). That's going to confuse a lot of newbies like me. I don't see the need for this interlaced profile if the setting already exists in the video property page under deinterlace options where one can activate tff or inverse telecine if you have an interlaced source. What happens if you activate the switch in the video properties settings AND choose the HD Interlace profile? Do they cancel each other out?

And shouldn't inverse telecine be used more frequently for interlaced films instead of TFF? Don't most interlaced films use 2:3 pulldown? I always thought inverse telecine and restore 23.9 fps (decimate option turns on by default when inverse telecine is selected) should be used when interlaced sourced film was detected with a 2:3 pulldown pattern, and that TFF should be used for other interlaced sources with no pattern, like TV shows and other higher fps source material.

Obviously I need help. My questions have expanded beyond "what profile should I use for SD DVDs", which by the way still hasn't been answered.

[pacaveli211]

I didn't really read all you said there
but the interlaced profile is to OUTPUT interlaced video ( that's silly...why would anyone do that, right? seems there's a need for it in for certain things =P )
and the progressive one is the same as the previous 4.0...it's just called progressive now to better differentiate between it and the interlaced one

@ Atak:

I’ve been using RipBot for the last few days and honestly I’m gonna started loving it. But there are lack of options which lead me to use other tools. There are some specific requirements which RipBot obviously can (as it is powered by those tools only), but doesn’t due to lack of options. Please consider the followings in your future release so that we; the RipBot lovers can stick on a single great application.

• Include option ‘As-is’. Sometimes it is required to re-encode the audio stream only leaving the video stream intact or vice versa or editing the individual streams.
• ‘Append’ option to include for joining multiple files (supported by ‘mkvMerge’).
• Mux-Unmux options to include (supported by ‘mp4box’).
• Trimming the part of the video (if possible: like removing the end credits).
• More file support required (like ‘.dat’, ‘m4v’, raw audio, ‘aac’, ‘ac3’ etc).
• Tagging: some options are there but not full-fledged like mp4box.
• What is the use of ‘Queue’ button? Include it in ‘Encoding Settings’ dialogue as ‘Add to Queue’.
• ‘?’ button should not redirect to the forum. Prepare a real good help guideline for the morons like what is ‘Deinterlace’ or ‘Decimate’ and what exactly they are meant for – SERIOUSLY!!!
• Preview doesn’t show the exact output quality (like ‘HandBrake’) using the ‘Preview Script’ option.
• Extraction of the contents besides de-mux (like poster) from existing file.
• Up-Down buttons are buggy and malfunctions often.
• Temp folder should be user specific.

It may be lengthy but I think; as a developer you should listen to the user requirements.

You do realize that Atak puts hard work into Ripbot for the low low price of... free (or donations). As for yelling out "SERIOUSLY", I believe that most of us are capable of googling Deinterlace or Decimate instead of demanding that Atak create documentation for those that are unable to google.

Temp folder could possibly be made user specific if you use %USERNAME% or %USERPROFILE% or for Windows Vista or 7 - %HOMEPATH% (a quick google got me the exact variable name) in the config file

Thanks Atak for the continued hard work on this great product! :thanks:

I didn't deny the selfless effort of ATAK. That was some suggestions only. I think the developer is the best one to guide his creation; that's what the reason behind requesting for the help guideline.

Knowledge is not the thing to be exchanged with currency. If people can google everything then there is no need of professors or masters.

Does anyone have any settings that work with an XBox 360.
I'm currently converting from Blu-ray to MP4 which is stored on a NAS Drive then streamed when required to an Xbox 360.

I have done a few conversions already and most seem to workfine, where I use profile 4. Now there are a few that won't play on the Xbox and it generates either one or another error code. I have looked at these and beleive it is an audio problem. I have tried different audio conversion settings but it dosen't seem to help.

If anyone has any settings that work 100% of the time it would be a great help.

Just for anyone that would like to know the error codes on the Xbox are:
69-C00D10E0
69-C00D119A

[Atak_Snajpera]

@bigbadjon
1) File MUST be <=4GB
2) Audio MUST contain only 2 channels (stereo)

BTW. It took me less than five minutes to decode those codes with google.

I've been having issues with the latest Ripbot. After demuxing it hangs at the "gathering information..." step. No log file gets generated. This happened to 127 Hours and Tron Legacy, the only two BD's I've tried. When I switch back to Ripbot 1.16.4 the issue goes away. I don't use codec packs. I have the latest FFDshow, haali splitter and avisynth 2.58.

I am looking to upgrade the pc from

Intel Core2 Quad CPU q6700 @2.67 ghz to something better for encoding blu-ray's to mkv

I am looking at an i7 2600 but wondering if i should go another route like an AMD 6 core or something

all opinions are appreciated

thanks

[pacaveli211]

I can encode (to 1080p BD25) in about 5-6 hours with the AMD 1090t
this is probably about the longest encode you can do. as you wouldn't be encoding for BD50 and anything else (1080p BD9/DVD9 and 720p) would be faster
the 2500 and 2600 intels should do them even faster than the AMD

here's an article I found before:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4083/the-sandy-bridge-review-intel-core-i7-2600k-i5-2500k-core-i3-2100-tested/16
the 1090t and the 1100T are about the same

In Windows 7 64bit when I use Usex264x64=2 It is much faster, about 20%.
Can I use this value?

It was just my impression, It was even slower.

HI Atak !!

Ripbot setted as default is perfect for 720p encodes....
But for 1080p ???
Should I do some supplementary settings ,should I change some settings ???
What do you think about these parameters used for 1080p encodes ???

ref=4 for 1920x1080
deblock=-3:-3 for better grain and detail retention
subme=9 this is a MINIMUM for keeping good quality
me_range=32 but 16 isn't that bad
bframes=6 at least 5 for good compressibility
b_pyramid=2 turning on an advanced algorithm of compression
aq=1:0.80 lower adaptive quantizers for much better grain and detail retention

and of course : trellis = 2.....

Well if I'm doing such changes do I need another changes I missed here ????
Or the default settings are enough for 1080p encodes , too ???

Thanks for help !!!

PS : If you intend to answer me and wanna open here a huge and full discution about image quality , encoding speed and other parameters I have a lot of questions for you , arguments and counter-arguments...

looking for a replay !!

[Ajax_Undone]

I had Usex264x64=1 instead of Usex264x64=0

Not sure how this would affect anything as that the setting defaults to 32 bit on a 32bit system. Also if your refuring to the need of strait 32 bit tools on a 32 bit codec vs x64 codec then maybe you should read up on this thread. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=144140) :)

I'd recommend gigabyte for the motherboard, or asus as a secondary
you'll want DDR3 (if there's anything else that even shows up)
I'd try to get one with lots of sata ports
USB 3.0
Sata III
and at least 2 PCIe 2.0 x16
is there some reason you wanted the 960 instead of one of the sandy bridge (2500k or 2600k ones?

[Lighto]

Just wanted to know if anyone has encountered this before....
If I load the .vob to RipBot and let it index using dgindex, the length of the video is not accurate.(longer by 7 seconds)
The only way I could get the correct video length was to use MakeMKV on the DVD first then open the file with RipBot.
Another way will be to use HandBrake to open the DVD .vob folder.

Is this a dgindex issue or am I doing it wrong?

Not really, I was just going by prices on pricewatch, the i960 is more expensive than the 2600k so I thought it was better, it's not?
That shows you how much I know. :p

it doesn't actually list a 960...but I'm assuming it should be between the 950 and 975

fyi there are 2500/2600 and then 2500k/2600k
from my understanding the K models are unlocked and therefore OC-able. so make sure you grab a 'k' one

I don't think XP is supported by MS anymore
i.e. they won't be making any new patches and such for it
I'd get 7...if for nothing else, than to get x64 and larger memory support
and just because it's newer, more compatible, and has some niceties built in that XP doesn't

Did you already try to catch the final VOB? The RibBot looks automatically for others.
I have been resolving this problem of this way, and it has been giving right.

[Lighto]

Did you already try to catch the last VOB? The RibBot looks automatically for others.
I have been resolving this problem of this way, and it has been giving right.

I am sure all the .vob has been included.
I made a mistake in my previous post, only tools such as Hybrid and HandBrake were able to get the correct video length.

Here's my workflow if it helps.

AnyDVD HD > CloneDVD2(select main video 1:14:37) > Open .vob with RipBot > RipBot index using dgindex and reports 1:14:41

[Ajax_Undone]

Cut out CloneDVD2 and just select a vob in the dvd that is one of a chain of vobs

http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/4558/dvdstruct.jpg (http://img689.imageshack.us/i/dvdstruct.jpg/)

that are ~1gb in size. ripbot264 will index it and then all you need to do is put your setting in and click encode and your done.
Or you can with anydvd running copy the Video_TS folder from the dvd to your hard drive and follow the steps above. ^

[jandor]

As shown in the image...
Just choose VTS_07_6.VOB, for example.

Soon after, check:
"Deinterlace" and "Decimate" appears closed? If this happens, it is because everything is fine.

[pacaveli211]

is the difference because after the main movie plays a 4 second something is referenced?
like a 'Rated PG13' screen or something?
this might be something that's not in the movie vobs themselves but somehow referenced in the index file so it plays immediately after the movie

[soneca]

Just wanted to know if anyone has encountered this before....
If I load the .vob to RipBot and let it index using dgindex, the length of the video is not accurate.(longer by 7 seconds)
The only way I could get the correct video length was to use MakeMKV on the DVD first then open the file with RipBot.
Another way will be to use HandBrake to open the DVD .vob folder.

To avoid such problems with RipBot i prefer to join the vobs using DVDShrink Re-author mode.

And all of this should be done with anydvd. Except for the merger of the files but that is taken into account in ripbot.
Meh what ever...

@ Lighto:

Your mistake is probably to copy the VOBs as they are. VOBs may contain several logical units called "Program Chains" (PGCs) – like an FBI warning or a studio trailer in front of the main movie; but DGMPGDec can only handle one PGC (and only one video angle). You need to extract the main movie PGC out of the VOBs. DVD rippers called this the "Movie mode" or the "IFO mode". If you already copied all files to your harddisk (including IFOs), you may as well use PGCDemux to extract the main movie PGC afterwards.

Concatenating VOB segments is certainly not necessary. Those tools which can handle VOBs as input also know that they have to be handled contiguously. And those who prefer elemental streams can get them concatenated after demultiplexing (a.k.a. "Stream processing" in the older DVD rippers).

Thanks for the tip, didn't know it could be done this way.:thanks:

Did what you said using the PgcDemux method but the demuxed .wav is still 1:14:41, the demuxed .m2v is 00:57:24.

The encode will be 1:14:41 due to the audio but this causes the chapters to not be accurate as it is meant for 1:14:37.

Don't trust the time values guessed by tools which just look into the MPEG header, read the maximum bitrate the MPEG encoder was set to, and divide that with the filesize to roughly guess a playing time. The bitrate of the *.m2v is variable. To measure its playing time exactly, one has to count the frames in each GOP, which hardly any program does (because it takes too much time).

Compare with the nonsense "26 hours" reported for VOB 3 and 4.

What is the time after indexing the *.m2v with DGIndex.exe and loading the AviSynth script into VirtualDub? This script should know the frame count from the *.d2v index file and the frame rate.

Atak_Snajpera

Just a suggestion...
Would it be possible to include the PgcDemux of 288KB in the tools of the RipBot?
The PgcDemux really stabilizes, while joining the VOB files, ending any asynchrony. He works from the IFO file.
He does the same thing as DVD Shrink > Re-author, which is also very good. Cited by soneca.

Thank you all for your help, I decided to rip the DVD using a "workaround".

The problem is that the indexed video and output is longer than what is should be.
Therefore the chapters extracted from the .IFO file are not working well on the encoded video.

Fortunately, the chapter file generated by MakeMKV sort of account for the change in video length and eliminates the problem of "inaccurate" chapters.

Therefore I just encode the DVD and mux in the chapter generated by MakeMKV.

Speaking of which, MakeMKV is like the only tool I found that could fix my "video length/chapter" problem and my wrong subtitle colour problem (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1490641#post1490641).

Horrible news!!!!!!

AVG Internet Security 2011 (virus db. Apr, 11) detects RipBot264 as MALWARE!!!

http://img1.imagehousing.com/19/67a7820cad90883698af37578d1d0128.jpg (http://www.imagehousing.com/)

Those stupid 'Grisoft' creatures...

Atak! Teach them your awesome tinyurl google search tutorial to let them know what RipBot is.

WOW WOW!!! Look at the 'Description' part. Specially 'Category' of threat. I'm sure Atak is not that bad spying our computers. ;-)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Dump this shit and use Microsoft security essentials. Ripbot264 does not even have any network code. SO it does not even check if new version is available.

[Ajax_Undone]

LOL nice! AVG Sux so bad. A wonderful coloured American $50 says that you have at least 3 variants of known malware on your system. One of which is NOT Ripbot264. AVG Avast and Norton are the worst Anticrap on the planet and have continued in this practice for the entire endurance of their life.

[jandor]

The topic is not about that, but... I work with computers since 1994. Since then, I tested all the antivirus.
And only after I installed the "ESET Smart Security", from there I had no threats or warnings of false positive.

[Ajax_Undone]

2 up for eset. A couple of pages back my installer was labelled as a threat by some ones nortons. Its just pay per Cruft!!! So meh. Some AV's are more a Virus then the Viruses they pretend to block / prevent.

Even Miocrosoft Security Essentials is a way better choice then norton, avg, avast, panda and a few others.

But Eset if you going to purchase and AV is the best choice..

[puplone]

You people stop blaming professional softwares. They are not stupid man, they are doing business.

I've had an analysis on the threat detection. AVG is detecting it 'Malware' (not 'Spyware') on the basis of a single logic (bloodhood). Read the description of the threat in my post : there includes "RESOURCE CONSUMPTION".

Ha ha!!! Any encoder definitely is resource hunger and RipBot is unknown to AVG's trusted database.

WE ARE SAFE USING RIPBOT - Thats for sure ....

Show me difference between mp4 and m4v! SERIOUSLY!!!

As far I know m4v is the iPod / iTunes friendly version of mp4.

There is no difference between those two filetypes while you play them in computer; even you can simply change the extension from m4v to mp4, it still works fine. But there are differences when you play an mp4 in an iPod-5G : Video stops in between, Audio-video sync issues arrives ...

Test it, take an iPod-5G compatible m4v, demux apart the audio and video and re-mux : you can't adjust sync. if it matchs at beginning, doesn't match at the end. I've generated two files from the same source : an .mp4 and an iPod-5G compatible .m4v and studied the demuxed aac-s in an audio grapher. The difference what I found hardly is aac from m4v is sometimes silent part removed, may be it syncs with video using some time tagging technique during playback, I'm not sure.

Thats why there are special options in 'HandBrake':

Thanks pacaveli211, Ya it can work, let me have a try too...

I've tried with J River Media Center. Its tagging feature is good. Generally it provides the access to the embeded poster of audio files (like mp3) by copying it to clipboard and paste in a photo editor, but somehow it can't even read / show the poster included from that mp4; extraction is far away.

Thanx anyway ...

[puplone]

My bad. The album arts are considered tags, not streams.
That's why YAMB didn't show it.

I think mp4box itself is a tagger and YAMB (Yet Another MP4Box Graphical Interface for Windows Users.) is a GUI of it powered by addl. tools (like mkvextract, eac3to etc.)

This is the file encoded with poster using Ripbot, Windows showing the thumbnail:

http://img1.imagehousing.com/37/8f827a1442921f50e4f24baff119591d.jpg (http://www.imagehousing.com/)

When I open it using YAMB 'File Tagger'(setting mp4box as a tagger), the poster is not shown.

http://img1.imagehousing.com/5/7efc46660550a3a9016f56fc409e1809.jpg (http://www.imagehousing.com/)

I go for advanced tagging of file properties clicking 'More' button; the image is still absent under 'artwork' tab.

http://img1.imagehousing.com/97/6236fb315881c4dc0d5d55edf7b784eb.jpg (http://www.imagehousing.com/)

Even if I set a picture by the 'Add' button (indicated above) to a fresh mp4 and save the tag; the poster is not displayed in Windows thumbnail (as the first image).

I'm confused between these three kinds of artworks handled by mp4box:
1. One added by RipBot during encoding (or simply calling mp4box from commandline : "<path>\mp4box.exe" -tmp "<path>\temp" -add "<path>\video.mp4" -itags cover="<path>\poster.jpg" -new "<path>\New_video.mp4" : thanx to 'pacaveli211').
2. The picture shown at the left side of file tagger of YAMB.
3. The pictures under "artworks" (supports multiple pictures) tab of properties box of YAMB.

Regarding SUBTITLES !!!!

If I forgot to check subtitles for beeing encoded , at the begining , later what can I do ??
Should I RE-ENCODE again ??? :hmmm: I don't think so...it must be another way to attach subtitles to an already encoded file !

I reffer to .sup files , which are automatically encoded by ripbot......
There is any possibility to make from sup.file a .srt file ??

Pls , give me an option to attach later subtitles as .sup file !!! Thanks !

[Atak_Snajpera]

mkvmerge.exe

[benjyv]

I know that it could be attached using mkvmerge.exe, but if the file is .sup ????

Does it works like a .srt one ???

[Atak_Snajpera]

Why don't you try? Do you always need everything ready on tray?

[benjyv]

I've tried , of course I've tried , but unfortunatelly it doesn't work :(
My question is : Ripbot can do that operation without encoding again ??? Does it have such a function that could be used separatelly ??

Or putting another way : which is the mechanism by which Ripbot makes adaptation and decrypt .sup files ?
If I wanna use mkvmerge.exe to attach .sup files I need first to fix them using suprip soft...
Can I do same thing , as Ripbot ????
can you tell me HOW can I do that ???

Thanks !

Probably using BDSup2Sub which is located in RipBot's tools folder.
Not 100% sure though.

[puplone]

My question is : Ripbot can do that operation without encoding again ???

Thats what I asked for earlier. There are many operations user requires to execute without re-encoding (as-is).

Well, benjyv, you can try "Urusoft Subtitle workshop" for editing / conversion of subtitle files and / or try remuxing using YAMB if you wanna keep the source subtitle format (drag-drop all the resources you wanna include, if it is supported : YAMB will accept).

[joae]

Is there any hope in getting add a folder -functionality? Adding hundreds of files, all having the same source characteristics and same output settings one-by-one is tedious.

HI Atak !!

I've already asked you , but I need to ask again 'cuz I didn't get any answer :

Where is the option for changing B-Pyramid - Normal. Now is setted only b-pyramid none!!

Also I must change some other settings like : Adaptive Quantizers strength , M.E. Range , M.E. Algorithm , Psy-RD strength , a.s.o.

If you wanna talk about details of these parameters ,I'm waiting a PM from you or a discussion here !!

[hopstiii]

Hi :)

I don't know how to use custom video bit rate for 2 pass encoding.

Just enter the desired bitrate in the 'kbps' box, and make sure that the 'lock size' box is unchecked.

[lemaireus]

Atak, a feature request: in the audio conversion options for .mkv, can you provide an option for converting DTS 1.5mbps streams to legacy DTS 754kbps? That cuts the file size by half--1.5mbps stream can sometimes seem unnecessary for some soundtracks--while still keeping a DTS track. 640kbps ac3 is a perfectly good alternative, but 754kbps DTS would also be a nice option to have, and with EAC3 already in the tools perhaps this, I hope, wouldn't be too difficult to implement.

[Atak_Snajpera]

This does not make sense because DTS 768 kbps would sound worse than AC3 448 kbps. According to tests DTS 1,5Mbps sounds as good as AC3 640kbps if encoded from lossless format. Also don't forget that re-encoding lossy format to another lossy will cause futher degradation in quality.

[soneca]

Atak,

Is there any way to make the RipBot load this script, or the only way is to load the avs script as input a video?

"DirectShowSource("D:\BLU_RAY\A_AVENTURA_PELOS_RECIFES_DE_CO\BDMV\STREAM\00000.m2ts")
MCTemporalDenoise(settings="medium" ,gpu=TRUE)"

[pacaveli211]

yeah...if you're lookin to save space by doing something with a dts 1.5mbps track...you should encode to AC3 640. DTS 768 would be dumb
if you really feel you need a 768kbps track you can do so with surcode

[hopstiii]

I'm interested in finding out HOW works those softs from tools section and which are they ????? ( just softs for subtitles )

http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/7687/22222dk.jpg

For instance : I've already encoded a file and forgot to attach in the beginning the subtitles..... At the end HOW can I attach subtitles without re-encoded the file again ????

If I wanna make .srt files I need suprip soft ,that's very simple in English , although I have to take every word and examine it and make manual corrections , which is very difficult especially when there are many dialogues , but when there are multi .sup files , in different languages ???? What can I do ???? How to examine and make correction if I don't know those languages ????

That's my issue !! I hope this time I was much clear :D

I have never used subtitles, so i don't have any experience there.

OK , no problem , I'm waiting somebody who know about that subject to enlighten me :D

subtitles don't want to be in bottom black bar by default.
They ruine picture area with themselves by default

Agree with you ,but there is an option to disable them whenever you want ;-)

Still waiting for you to explain me Where is that code box in Ripbot tools ,to introduce there specific settings , as I told you !!!

Just a suggestion...
Would it be possible to include the PgcDemux of 288KB in the tools of the RipBot?
The PgcDemux really stabilizes, while joining the VOB files, ending any asynchrony. He works from the IFO file.
He does the same thing as DVD Shrink > Re-author, which is also very good. Cited by soneca.

http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/7771/pgcdemux.jpg

Normally I would just check demux video stream and audio stream.
Is it the same compared to demuxing the .vob other than that the .vob(s) may contain additional subtitle(s)?

I know that , but I wonder if I change some parameters there , they will have any influence ????

For instance ,If I change TRELLIS QUANT. by choosing " 2 - ENHANCED , in the lower window appears modifications as I've done. --trellis 2
But just modifying --b-pyramid none into --b-pyramid strict in the same lower window , the effect will be active ???

I have figured it myself. Not sure.
Sometimes u change from gui something to same it allready was then some custom options from command box will be deleted. :confused:

Do test encode, and look with mediainfo what settings where use for encoded file.

O yes i did test, all settings will be forced, that i used.

[benjyv]

THANKS to ALL for helping me!!!

I wish you a HAPPY EASTER , Joys and Happy Holidays !!!

[Lighto]

Is there anyway to skip the muxing phase so that I could do the post processing of the raw output myself?

[pacaveli211]

delete/edit \Temp\RipBot264temp\job<number>\job<number>_MuxFiles.cmd should do the trick
the audio (if demuxed/processed) will be in the job or main temp folder as will the .264 stream

[benjyv]

Yep Lighto :D

That could help me too , to attach subtitles when forget to check them at the beginning ;-)

Good question :)

[hopstiii]

Yes Happy Holidays to all users and devs.

Hello,

I am using you software to rip a video of a BluRay disk on the disk the title of the file is 00015. I then use RipBot264 to create a DivX Plus HD Video from this and then I renamed the file to its proper name but in TVersity on xbox the name is showing as 00015 still is this title data store in the MKV file? Does anyone know if there is any software out there to edit this title?

[benjyv]

Try this : mkvMerge Gui

VLC has a metadata edit, I recall having trouble getting it to save a lot of the time though...

try winamp, I believe it will do it as well

as suggested, MKVmerge does have an option to set the track name, which is probably where the 00015 is set...but it will require remuxing the video to change it.

[DVDBob]

@Atak_Snajpera

Please update your package with x264 r1936, MediaInfo v0.7.44 and MKVToolnix v4.7.0

[benjyv]

....but it will require remuxing the video to change it.

NO , it won't require remuxing at all :D Therefore it is profitable .

Please update your package with x264 r1936, MediaInfo v0.7.44 and MKVToolnix v4.7.0

You can do it yourself by updating within tool section of Ripbot whatever you want .
That's why this software is so versatile :D

[hopstiii]

RipBot264 will make broken x264.mp4 file that can not be decoded by youtube or demuxed or remuxed with none of available demuxers or remuxers in mediacoder.

That mp4 i muxed in mkvmerge GUI with flac audio.
It gives me error there:

frames) references to other frames. The timecodes for such frames will be out-of-order,
and the 'CTTS' atom is needed for getting the timecodes right. As it is missing the timecodes for
this track might be wrong. You should watch the resulting file and make sure that it looks like you expected it to.

The file was decoded fine in Vimeo and video players.

Problem seems to be broken muxing in MediaCoder, it can't join video(copy) and audio(copy) to mp4 with none of the muxers.
None of the video or audio formats encoded by different applications, not just only RipBot264 mp4 files.

get rid of your dumb PS3 and get a real bluray player =)

other than that...I don't think there are any. I've asked a few times in a few places as well. I can tell you that DVDfab's bluray program has some type of circumvention for it. it requires you to rip the bluray and then I think you have to burn the full things as well. so no authoring / remuxing / encoding / etc.

Haha, my wife would not appreciate me buying a new BD player simply because I can't play some Cinavia encodes :)

I've got DVDFab, but yeah...I am less than inclined to go through their BD copy feature. I just want my movies digitally stored on my server so I can stream them. I have faith that eventually Slysoft and/or DVDFab will have a solution. This is the first copy protection that has actually worked for the industry, but it always gets cracked.

What happens if decoded audio to .wav and then you encode with AC3? Lossy codec should "damage" any watermarks in audio.

[LigH]

Not certainly. Some watermarking technologies are so persistent, they stay recognizable if you encode with transparent quality again, they vanish only when you encode with a quality so low that the loss hurts.

[dbone1026]

Not certainly. Some watermarking technologies are so persistent, they stay recognizable if you encode with transparent quality again, they vanish only when you encode with a quality so low that the loss hurts.

Yeah, my understanding is that currently you cannot "encode out" cinavia from the audio track, or if you somehow manage to the audio track will be so damaged that it won't be worth it

[pacaveli211]

just something on the cinavia stuff: I've read that people have cammed (used a video camera to record stuff in theaters) movies and the cinavia survives this
it's not a simple watermark in the audio track, it's actually embedded sound[s] (although supposedly inaudible) within the track

so simple encoding and such will most likely not be effective.
and for anyone like me this encoding/audio quality loss would be unacceptable.

[illestdomer2005]

@illestdomer2005
What happens if decoded audio to .wav and then you encode with AC3? Lossy codec should "damage" any watermarks in audio.

I am not 100% certain that on every instance I've experienced so far (Social Network, The Losers, and The Tourist) has been encoded with a demux to .WAV, but I am pretty sure that's how it has been done because my standard is an AVCHD with 5.1 AC3.

I still don't completely understand Cinavia, but I have seen something about cam dubs being affected as well which seems very weird. Clearly, there is something that will either have to be stripped out or embedded to spoof the protection that exists in PS3s and other affected players. Why? Because my encodes for the iPad play just fine!

I guess it's not a HUGE deal since I have my HTPC server connected to my TV, but it is sorta annoying. Here's hoping DVDFab and Slysoft will race to fix this. So far, my hat's off to Cinavia for finding an anti-copy solution.

Hello all,
This is my first time posting on this forum and in this thread and I'd like to just start off by saying that I love this program and thank you very much for it :thanks:

I've used this program (RipBot264 v1.16.5) quite a few times but have run into a bit of a snag lately and I can't seem to really figure out why. Lemme explain...

I have several movies with multiple audio streams and subtitle streams and I basically want to reduce the file sizes and eliminate the streams I don't need. Easy enough, right? Well, I'll load in a video, select the audio track I want and the subtitle track I want using the "selectable subtitles" tab. After I encode the video I have hardcoded subs and selectable subs. I have made sure under the "properties" tab that "permanent subtitles" says "do not use subtitles". Basically, I can't figure out why I end up with harcoded subs when if I played the file before the encode no hardcoded subs were present.

Here is the mediainfo about one of the movies I mean before the encode...

If you preview the script and the subtitle shows automatically when you have selected "Do not use subtitle", then this fix will help you.

Thank you very much for the suggestion :thanks: I have changed it and will re-encode overnight and see if I get a different result. Thanks again. This is something I would have never figured out in a million years!

You sir, are a genius!!! This solution worked perfectly!!! I am a little confused why this started happening all of a sudden. I had not changed anything at all with the codec pack I had downloaded months ago. All the while I had used Ripbot with no issues until recently. Strange but now I know what to do if it happens again. I thank you again very much :thanks:

Atak,

Could an option in RipBot to force the display of subtitles in AVCHD mode?

I am using K-Lite codec pack.
The problem is that DirectVobSub also load automatically during encode/preview if the subtitles in the .mkv is set to show by default.

Always glad to be of an assistance. :)

I use the K-Lite Standard Pack as well. I'm not entirely sure what you mean about DirectVobSub issue but that's ok. The codec pack I've always just installed it and left it at whatever the default settings were. I've tried to learn as much as I can by reading and experimenting and this Ripbot tool is great for some of us less technical guys, like me!

I long since just used the default settings of Ripbot 4.0 profile but I've tried to educate myself of the other settings. I've often seen this with a lot of encodes but maybe you have a answer, I have not found a good answer I could understand yet :confused:... does the number of R or B frames have any bearing on the quality of the encode and are these the same as "ReFrames" I see listed on a mediainfo file? I see by default Ripbot has these set to 3 but I see lot's of encodes with 4 and 5 and sometimes higher. My question also applies to the "Trellis Quant" and "Adaptive B-Frames". Would setting these to "Enhanced" increase the quality of a encode as well. I am assuming making any of these settings higher will have no noticeable effect on a encode but I am not sure.

I envy all you guys who understand off of this. I find it all very confusing :confused:

Thanks for all the help so far. Don't worry.. I won't be flooding the thread with lot's of questions since my main one was already answered :thanks:

[pacaveli211]

buffalofloyd check these out:
http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings#ref
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_compression_picture_types
I-Frames are essentially a complete 'picture'
where as B and P Frames reference data from previous/subsequent frames avoiding un-needed redundancy, thus gaining better quality within less space
R-Frames are referenced frames for the b/p frames (this is the ref value I linked above)
if you set such stuff too high...it can cause issues with some media players, and for any scanning (fast forward, rewind) bluray players like to have an I-Frame every second

Wow, this all makes my head hurt ;) Thanks for the links as I will definitely try and read through some of that stuff and try to understand it. I think however leaving Ripbot at the default settings might be the way to go for me since I clearly don't understand all the technical details of x264. I have had good results at default settings so far so why fix something that isn't broke? It seems a lot of the settings can (should?) be dependent on what the source is that your trying to encode. I never do anime but I would gather some setting might want or need to be tweaked to get optimum results. In any case, I really do love this program.

The only suggestion I would make is a drag and drop feature... not really a big deal at all but just a friendly suggestion. Thanks!

hi i have problem, after install .net framework 4.0 i have this problem :

i use CCleaner to Clean register

any one can help me ?

BTW.

A Microsoft .NET Framework is no Windows XP update, but a separate installation.

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6) should be downward compatible with previous .NET versions 2 and 3, I believe...

I would like to seek help regarding usage of QTGMC in RipBot's avs script.
If I add QTGMC() in a normal script, it works fine.
But if I add it in RipBot's Picture Properties window, I keep getting "Invalid arguments to function "QTGMC()".

I figure it's probably due to my script but how should I fix it?

I have a major memory leak in avstoyuv.exe

Whenever i load a file into ripbot this process just uses up ram until its 100%


is there any way to stop it, or install an older version.

any ideas anyone.

im using win 7 64 bit, avstoyuv.exe is 32 bit, not sure if that process is part of ffdshow or ripbot istelf????


help :confused:

[benjyv]

Hi ATAK !!!!

I've recently installed ALL softs - I formated - and some players do not work properly :(
Can you give me/us a list or links to similar softs you use ???? I know you use 64 bit softs...
I presume all those who use win 7 on 64 bits would be interested in it ...
A friend of mine advised me to install few softs on 32 bits , and , maybe this is the reason that all players are working bad :(

Thanks for help !!!

[Hell Bomb]

Ok, i have updated everything, install all that i think i need, but i keep coming across more and more .mkv videos that will get stuck at "gathering more information" they are all usually from the same goup of videos, but one refuses to move past "gathering more information" This is the 3rd of 4th group of videos in which a single video from the group will not convert but all the rest will.

Also i do have the latest version installed and i am using windows 7, x64

@ Lighto, Atak_snajpera:

Not only. Then the next complaint will come from the line below QTGMC().

Either be consequent and use "video=Function(video, args)" everywhere, and finish with "return video".

Or be consequent and avoid variables whereever the implicit variable "last" is sufficient.

But either way, learn what the implicit variable "last" means. It is not trivial, but vital nevertheless.


# ...

#Resize
Spline36Resize(video,720,480).Sharpen(0.2)
QTGMC()
SelectEven()

# ...

And the combination of Spline36Resize and Sharpen might fill another page of discussion; but not here... ;)

Thank you for your tips!
I am a newbie with avisynth so it might take me some time to learn.

I only read up that Sharpen(n) is basically blur(-n), care to share what is wrong with using Sharpen with Spline resize?

I am interested to find out. :p

[benjyv]

Just a simple question , maybe this time smb will answer me ..... :p

To get source / encode screens one must open up script.avs in one tab .
In the second tab he must select :
ffvideosource("C:\path\to\encode.mkv")
FFInfo(cfrtime=false,vfrtime=false)

Well , WHERE can I find ffvideosource ???

I've searced in ALL logs and jobs but I found just "Directshowsource" and not "FFVideosource" :sly:

If Ripbot do NOT produce "FFVideosource" parameter , how can I use "Directshowsource" in getting those source/encode screens ???

I also have installed within avysinth pluggin ffmpegsource-2.15-mt.7z .. :confused:

Who can help me ????

:thanks:

[Lighto]

Just a simple question , maybe this time smb will answer me ..... :p

AFAIK, RipBot doesn't use ffmsindex.
What you are trying to achieve can be done using other GUI such as MeGUI.
Use the file indexer in MeGUI to ffmsindex the video, the script should use FFVideoSource automatically IIRC.

[benjyv]

@Lighto

I already knew that , I'm using MeGui for those S/E screens ,but my question was :

When I use Ripbot HOW can I make SOURCE / ENCODE screens shots ?????

I thought that if you answer me, you know the right answer regarding RIPBOT .... :(

Well , to understand in this case that I cannot make S / E screens when I use Ripbot for encodes ????

It's a great pity :(

Running RibBot264 v1.16.5. Major props for this program. I've only been using this since v1.16.4, but I've ripped over 200 blu-rays with it so far. Quality is excellent and I've been very pleased with the results.

I've tried digging for a solution to my Demuxing Error problem for more then a day. Essentially when I try to rip Star Trek The Original Series, season 2, disc 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, and season 3, disc 1 (I haven't tried past disc 1 so far), I receive a Demuxing Error. All of season 1 ripped fine and season 2 disc 2 and 5 work fine.

I'm running Win7/64 on two different machines with the same results. I've posted the contents of the Demuxlong.txt, test.log, and mkvinfo.txt in hopes that they will lead to any ideas that could solve my issue. Thanks much.

Demuxlog.txt looks like the following:

@Atak
Is there some kind of switch to stop RipBot264 from changing the settings of ffdshow and Windows 7 DirectShow decoder so that I can use CoreAVC as the decoder?

[LigH]

@ Lighto:

Sharpen() does not recover details. It increases local contrasts in a small neighborhood, but it does that on wanted content as much as on unwanted noise. It is a "stupid" filter with no sense for the content.

Furthermore, applied after a resizer with some overshooting, it makes artefacts related to the Gibbs phenomenon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbs_phenomenon) just worse.

And they are again worsened by DCT based video encoding (ringing artefacts in MPEG-1/2/4-ASP blocks), hurting the compressibility ratio. I am not sure how much it hurts H.264 too, as this uses another integer transform instead of DCT.

But after all, post-sharpening is just an illusion. So never apply too much of it. And if you must, then try to use smarter functions, like SeeSaw, or chose your resizer already with more efforts.

Ripbot encodes but there is no output file on the destination. Did a search on the drive... nothing... nowhere.
Is this a common problem?

[pacaveli211]

Ripbot encodes but there is on output file on the destination. Did a search on the drive... nothing... nowhere.
Is this a common problem?

It's common for me because I always forget to check if my drive has enough space. So the encode fails due to a lack of space to put the processed .264 stream =P

check where your temp folder resides, see if the drive has enough space to do the encode.

otherwise....read the job log, see where it failed

[Koppel]

Where is the job log. It wasn't in the "Temp/job1" folder. The drive has enough space... still no output !?

I've been using Ripbot successfully for some time and think it a great program. However, I ran into a slight problem when I got a Dune media player...subtitles officially need to be either plain text, or SSA/ASS. I've also read that Dune will play external idx/sub in a 480p resolution. Are there any settings within the Ripbot tools that let me convert 1080p Subs to 480p? Or would it be easier to just create/download SRT files?

If you are using a BluRay as a source the Dune supports PGS (1080p). Not sure if Ripbot keeps as PGS though.

[Hyrax]

Thanks, Damian. I'll checkout how hard it is to create PGS files.
I'm experimenting with the BDSup2Sub.jar found in RipBot's tools folder. I can manually convert the Sups to 480p subs and they don't look too bad if I double their size.

[pacaveli211]

you can drop an subtitle file into tsmuxer and 'demux' it, this will result in a sup file
or, alternately, if you select subtitles from a bluray (.sup) I believe ripbot will OCR / Convert them to .srt for you - I'm not sure on that though
BDSup2Sub will output sups as well, I dunno if it'll input text subtitle files though

are you trying to encode to .aac?
did the audio encoding fail somewhere earlier in the log?

[Koppel]

Yes... encoding audio to .aac
Encoding didn't fail earlier but I'm guessing the encoded audio file should be in the temp folder... but it isn't.
I am encoding a DV AVI file... something that should be easy because audio is WAV to begin with.

If you are using a BluRay as a source the Dune supports PGS (1080p). Not sure if Ripbot keeps as PGS though.

[Bean007]

I have a question about using RipBot which i've been using for all my backups to my media box. I just got Close Encounters of the Third Kind: 30th Anniversary Ultimate Edition and ran into one problem. Since the Ultimate Edition has all 3 version on the disk how are you able to rip each version? I'm really only intrested in the extended version where you see the inside of the ship at the end. I went back after finishing my 1st rip and noticed that it was the original version that I had ripped, so I went back to under stream and noticed that the next 2 files were only 3.9 and 3.3 Gig long and that the very 1st file was over 9 Gigs in size. There's no way this could be right or am i looking at this the wrong way.

[pacaveli211]

change the playlist
you should get a selection when ripbot first analyzes the bluray
this will have the audio / video / subtitle tracks and all that
at the top should be the playlist option. there should be 1 (or more) playlists for each edition / cut
if you can't tell which or need any further info grab bdinfo and scan the disc
http://www.cinemasquid.com/blu-ray/tools/bdinfo

[Bean007]

Thanks. So now it's just a matter of guessing which one it is. I just tried and use PowerDVD to figure out which was which due to the time length of the movie. :)

:thanks: :thanks:

Life saver. :)

[pacaveli211]

or you could just use bdinfo....and do a 2 second scan rather than opening stuff with powerdvd

[Hell Bomb]

Ok, i have updated everything, install all that i think i need, but i keep coming across more and more .mkv videos that will get stuck at "gathering more information" they are all usually from the same goup of videos, but one refuses to move past "gathering more information" This is the 3rd of 4th group of videos in which a single video from the group will not convert but all the rest will.

Also i do have the latest version installed and i am using windows 7, x64

[Vilmalith]

Let me start by saying I did not read all 480 pages, though I did search.

I have been a handbrake user for years. Just started using RipBot here and there recently and think the output quality is better then I get with handbrake using the same options. So I think I'm going to make RipBot a permanent solution.

Are there any plans for a forced subs feature/option like in Handbrake (if not, are there any subtitle guides specific to RipBot)? Is there anyway to speed up the intial video indexing in RipBot (this initial step is taking 10+mins whether I rip directly from my dvd or rip the dvd to hd first which adds another 5+mins to the process)? I've got 1k+ dvds to rip and 100+ blu-rays, so any time saved is huge as I'm already having to go through and re-do all the movies I've already done with Handbrake as I've noticed some have audio drift and other are just massively out of sync.

Here's a comprehensive guide for hardsubbing.
http://adubvideo.net/how-to/hardsub-blurays-ripbot

As of the indexing part, I do not know of any way to speed it up.
The only solution I see would be to rip the DVDs to the hard disk in batches first, then open it with RipBot. Start the first job then add more jobs to RipBot.

[jandor]

Prepare hardsub SRT to SSA: Link1 (http://forum.legendas.tv/showthread.php?26941-Guia-Embutir-legenda-em-AVI-sem-reencode&p=126231#post126231) or Link2 (http://forum.clubedohardware.com.br/showpost.php?p=4615362&postcount=26) (Portuguese language)
The text is in Portuguese, but the images speak by themselves.
Use hdbrstreamextractor (eac3to) (http://code.google.com/p/hdbrstreamextractor/downloads/list) or tsMuxeR (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/tsMuxeR) to extract the subtitles of Blu-ray and SupRip (http://exar.ch/suprip) or SubtitleEdit Portable (http://code.google.com/p/subtitleedit/downloads/list) to convert SUP to SRT.

[Vilmalith]

For regular dvds (haven't ripped many blu-rays with ripbot yet) I don't get the option to extract subtitles within ripbot, unless I'm just missing it. So for dvds I have to use something else to extract the subtitles first, then use ripbot to select those subtitles and burn them into the movie?

HI ,

Unfortunatelly all 1080 encodes resulted bad deinterlaced :( using 4.o option )

http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/PapaJohn/54/Interlaced-Versus-Progressive_files/image010.jpg here is the result of an encode - interlaced -when fps are 29,97 fps

What soft/softs should I use to deinterlace it, to get a good encode , without interlaced images ???

I tested a lot of movies and ALL , but absolutelly ALL resulted in bad results , no matter what option I used ( 4.o ; 4.1 , etc)

[The Scientist]

http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/PapaJohn/54/Interlaced-Versus-Progressive_files/image010.jpg
Hard to tell without knowing how much you have zoomed in with the screen shot but to me that looks like an interlaced source that has been resized or an interlaced source that has been resized before being de-interlaced.

[benjyv]

@The Scientist

Here is another ENCODE performed with another profile ( 4.0 progresive )

http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/1073/111jm.png

the "lines" are similar :(

Maybe ATAK will tell us what aditional settings are necesary .

[7ekno]

not really that hard to work out ...

Either:
1) use a deinterlacer before encoding progressively
2) encode with MBAFF (interlaced)

7ek

[Ajax_Undone]

Use the [HIGH 4.0] HD . Progressive option and in the properties use tff de-interlace decimate to 23.976 fps and encode tell us your result after that.

[QBhd]

One thing I have learned... if your source is interlaced, you should run it through DGIndex to see what's what... is it TFF or BFF... is it Hybrid with mostly film or Hybrid mostly interlaced... too many things to try and guess at when a good indexing will tell you all you need to know.

QB

[benjyv]

@Ajax_Undone

I've got just these fps option :

http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/2002/1111za.jpg

Well ,in this case I choose TFF 29,976 and decimate to 23.976 ...I hope it will be good enough

[7ekno]

So in this case which one to choose ???

The one that matches your source ...

Download & Install MediaInfo, if your source is AVC (AVCHD or BD), then the container should have those details (and the answer to your question) ....

Anyone have a suggestion to this problem? I like ripbot and I also like BD-Rebuilder.

I don't believe so, as installing one version of ffdshow will simply overwrite whatever version you have installed. Probably the only way around this is if you are running an x64 PC where you could install one version of ffdshow (x64) and a separate version (x32). I assume Ripbot uses the x32 version, not sure about BD Rebuilder

I had some problems with the BD Rebuilder using the two latest versions of ffdshow.
The r3785 (http://www.videohelp.com/download/ffdshow_rev3785_20110323_clsid.exe) is working well with RipBot and BD Rebuilder.

[hoju3508]

If ffdshow works with RipBot264, it should also work with BD-Rebuilder even though it's not the recommended version.

[Vilmalith]

Disregarding my personal subtitle problems with RipBot I think I've run into my first real problem.

I am trying to rip my dvd of District 9. No matter what I've tried so far, audio is extremely out of sync. If I change the audio delay I can get it in sync, but it ends up drifting so doesn't stay in sync through the whole movie. If I rip the movie with Handbrake this problem doesn't occur. If I check for the audio delay Handbrake is using, and then use that same audio delay in RipBot the audio is out of sync.

[Atak_Snajpera]

What is framerate detected by ripbot264? 29.97 , 23.976 or 25fps? Compare video duration reported by ripbot with handbreak.

@makron What program do you use to decode the protection on your bluray ?
i.e AnyDVD HD.

I thing I am far from what is the right way to make a MKV. :(

Do I have to use first a program like AnyDVD HD to decode the protection on bluray?
I thought ripbot do this. Not?

I have DVDFab, for my DVD's, it's ok with this program?
Some more info please I am new to all this as you understand.

[Atak_Snajpera]

1) Install ANYDVD HD
2) Make sure that ANYDVD HD is running in background (tray icon)
3) Open any .m2ts directly from Blu-Ray disc in ripbot264

Quick question. I am doing a quick test trying to mirror some test encode files that I have. One encode is done at High@L3.1. When I choose the 3.1 profile in Ripbot264 I get Main@L3.1. What option do I need to change in the video profile to switch from Main to High? Thanks.

Atak,

I am running into a problem again with "Vicky Christina Barcelona" where RipBot gets stuck on "Please wait...initializing." Back in an earlier version of RipBot you released an update to handle the weird 3.1 audio that some discs, like this one, have, and I am wondering if that is the problem again.

I can see in processes that "Aften.exe" is running, but it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?

What is framerate detected by ripbot264? 29.97 , 23.976 or 25fps? Compare video duration reported by ripbot with handbreak.

ripbot sees it as 29.97, if I don't touch anything and just watch the preview in ripbot before ripping the movie the audio is already way out of sync (if I check the audio tracks in ripbot it says audio delay is 39881ms). Like I said in my earlier post, I can mess with the audio delay to get the audio in sync. But when you watch the movie it drifts so ends up out of sync the longer you watch the movie.

For movies that are 29.97 and have horrible interlace lines I choose reverse telecine in ripbot and leave decimate restore to 23.976. It's worked so far on all the other movies. Doing that the audio is still way off. I've also tried switching to mkv and just doing a stream copy of the audio and that is also out of sync probably because ripbot is seeing that 39881ms delay.

Ripping the movie with ripbot gets me the same length as in handbrake according to mediainfo, 1h 52mn.

Hi everyone. I'm having a problem with encoding some of my files to .mkvs. Some of my files will only get to 99.9% and then just sit there. In every case that this happens, the x264 process is not running anymore. Unfortunately, it doesn't create a log file in Ripbot's log directory. Is there any information I can pull from the job's directory that might help? I also have a screenshot below to show how the encode is "stuck". Any ideas? Thank you!

Hi guys,

I'm sorry to answer to this old message but as a developer I need to bring some explanations:

I've been using Ripbot 1.16.3 for a while now and have switched to 1.16.4. I have noticed that MP4box isn't addressing files over 2Gb.

Supporting or not large files rather depends on the runtime than the development itself.

That being said, all runtimes support large files except some official mingw/mingw32 ones which rely on the microsoft visual 6 (1998) C runtime. You can actually ask for using newer runtimes at build time but the support is incomplete. The solution is to use a unofficial mingw or to patch some mingw (resp. mingw32) headers to directly call the right functions. We've discussed this among developers and concluded we would wait for mingw to provide some support to a runtime newer than 1998 (which is in the roadmap).

On Windows, cygwin and microsoft free tools (http://gpac.wp.institut-telecom.fr/2011/04/18/command-line-gpac-compiling-on-windows-x86-using-free-microsoft-visual-c/) work with no restriction.

I hope it is clearer now.

Solving or avoiding asynchrony when you encode from DVD files:
Process from an original DVD... The encoding of DVD files is still a reality.

I wait that my written English is correct, and doesn't come for confuse them.
When joining the VOB files have two methods that do the same thing: PgcDemux and "DVD Shrink".
First, you must make a copy (decrypt) of the DVD for the HD only the main movie and without compression,
or 100% of his size using the DVDFab or AnyDVD.
The "DVD Shrink" also removes the protection of DVD, but he is out of date for some things.
Not always a difference of length of the audio will be a delay.
Always consider the whole files. A partial copy or a cutting doesn't serve as a parameter.


Follow the reading...Use PgcDemux (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/PgcDemux) to join the VOB files.
The PgcDemux doesn't solve problems of interlaced,
but when you join the VOB files with your application, certainly solves the problem of delay.
The PgcDemux really stabilizes, while joining the VOB files, ending any asynchrony. He works from the IFO file.

http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/7771/pgcdemux.jpg


Single process... DVD Shrink (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/DVD_Shrink), It does the same thing as the PgcDemux.
1º) Open DVD Shrink -> Edit -> Preferences -> Output Files -> uncheck the last two items
- Split VOB files into 1GB size chunks (recommended)
- Logical remapping of enabled streams.
http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/6888/dvdshrink.jpg

2º) Then click the tab Re-author
In "DVD Browser" locate the DVD folder with VOB files.
http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/4715/dvdshrink1.jpg

3º) Going for the directory, open the folder with the DVD files.

4º) You will visualize the VOB files totalized into a single file -> click 2x on the file.

5º) Double click "Title 1" to create the DVD file structure
The file is totaled transported for the window of the side.

6º) In the Compression Settings tab -> Video -> change for No Compression

7º) As soon as it opens the window "Backup DVD" -> in the tab "Target Device" ->
in "Select backup target " -> change or stay as "Hard Disk Folder"
Choose the destination to save the new copy... below, disable "Create VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS subfolders"
Remembering that while entering in the RipBot264 in "Properties", if closed "Deinterlace" and the "Decimate",
is a sign that everything is OK, and will not occur asynchrony.

When a software encoder accepts only ISO images...
File tab -> click Backup...
Once you open the window DVD Backup -> Target Device tab -> under Select backup target: leave as "ISO Image File"
Choose the destination to save the ISO image.


Other methods to create ISO image, DVD folders and files...

1. tsMuxeR (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/tsMuxeR)
-> Use "Add" for the VOB first, and "Join" for the remainder -> and select "Demux" -> Start demuxing
If you only have a MPEG-2 file, also make the tsMuxeR demuxing before. Will be extracted MPV and AC3 files.
continues below...

2. DVDAuthorGUI (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/DVDAuthorgui)
-> add title -> MPV video file -> AC3 audio file -> File -> select "Create ISO after Authoring" -> author DVD -> Name the new folder -> Save
You finished of reassemble the ISO image, folders and files from DVD!


Other support tools:DelayCut (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/delaycut) and Mpg2Cut2 (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Mpg2Cut2)
However, if you continue having problems with audio gives a chance for the DelayCut. Make a "demux" of the audio before.
The DVDAuthorGUI is also ideal to create the DVD files structure.
I hope I have myself made understanding in the explanation of everything, and that come on be useful.


You can also do the encoding of the DVD without audio, joining the audio later:
"Demux" of everything with the PgcDemux, and AC3 audio without conversion.

Joining the audio files in containers:
MP4 use the YAMB (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1495596&postcount=9535)
MKV use the MKVmerge
AVCHD use the tsMuxer

Extract DVD subtitles: SubRip (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Subrip) or Subtitle Edit (http://code.google.com/p/subtitleedit/downloads/list) No installer - portable version.

In Ripbot could be changed "me_range" parameter from 16 to other upper value ??

And HOW ???

and what represents these setting ???? each of them...

I'll repeat posting this question untill someone will deign to answer me :D
My question is directly related to Ripbot although I see a lot of other related topics are discussed, without any connection with the subject, and they receive answers...

@ benjyv:

Looks like this parameter is not yet covered by any GUI controls. So you may have to add a custom command line option for it.

I'm having isssus with Ripbot v.4 and 5. I updated to 5 when it came out but then I started having constant video freezing but audio kept going fine. So I reverted back to v4, but same problem. So them I uninstalled Ripbot and all the codecs is needs and ran a regisrty cleaner and checked for orphaned folders and deleted them, rebooted. Reinstalled Ripbot v4 again with all the lastest codecs it requests. Make anothe AVCHD and same problem still, and so I again updated to v5 again. Why am I having this issue? I'm playing this on $ony DVD+R and $ony DVD+R DL on PS3 and standalone Bluray player. Please get back with with a possible resolution. Thanks.

are you changing anything else?
what's your audio output?
have you tried encoding to mkv (will need to be around 4200MB/7600MB) and muxing to AVCHD with TSMuXeR?
have you installed newest FFDShow?
do your discs play on real bluray players?
have you tried more than one movie?

[lemaireus]

I've been having a strange issue for the last three months or so: as soon as Ripbot begins muxing the file at the end of the encoding process, Windows crashes, often without so much as a blue screen, Windows 7, SP1, 64 bit. The result is a corrupt 200-600mb mkv file: clearly the crash happens as soon as muxing begins.

I've tried three versions of Ripbot v1.16.3, v1.16.4, and v1.16.5, the same result. And after this first crash Windows begins to crash repeatedly, whether or not Ripbot is running. The first crash after a Windows reinstall every single time happens at the muxing stage in Ripbot. I've tried everything I could think of: Windows reinstalls, driver updates & rollbacks, using different HDDs for processing files in Ripbot, RAM & CPU tests etc. etc. Nothing has worked. So haven't been able to encode anything for a long time now, and been going crazy with the crashes.

Atak, is there any way I can find a workaround this if nothing works? Is there a way to process the file in Ripbot and then use Mkvmerge outside ripbot to mux audio-video streams? Mkvmerge works perfectly fine whenever I mux or demux audio-video streams, so this issue is not related to Mkvtoolnix.

Any ideas?

A way to skip the muxing stage would be to go to "job*_MuxFiles.cmd" and delete the commands inside or to delete the cmd itself.
It can be found in the "*:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job*" folder.

[dbone1026]

Anyone ever have an issue where you select a playlist but Ripbot keeps reverting back to a different playlist? I have run into this issue with some BluRay TV Show discs. For example, a disc will have three episodes. I will go ahead and create three jobs (each time choosing a different playlist). However, I have run into issues where even though I choose a different playlist each time Ripbot actually ends up using the same playlist. Doesn't seem to happen all the time, but can be frustrating since the times it has happened I didn't realize until after the jobs were done (so I end up with 3 encodes of the same playlist instead of 3 separate encodes).

I'm making a AVCHD file. I'm using everything that Ripbot asks for including the lastest updates to all codecs needed for Ripbot to work. I'm also using Windows .Net Framework 4.0 or 4.1. The newest one as well. The audio stays the same since your choose 2-Pass and video I change to 720P (True) as which hadn't ever been an issue before. No, I haven't changed any other settings. I am making the mkv to fit either a DVDR or a DVDR DL if mkv is bigger than a DL I don't mess with it. Yes, this is on a real blurayu player as well. It's a standalone $ony bluray player. Yes, it's been screwing up all my movies for quite sometime now now.

as you can see the file size is HALF the size, my overall bitrate is 5,152 Kbps and other bit rate shows 4 410 Kbps.
the picture quality imo on my HDTV playing over my HTPC running XBMC (windows) 10.1 stable build is poor. bit rate of 4,410 Kbps for a 1080P imo is to low and i would like to have it around 10-12,000Kbps

I would like to add that i notice a quality hit and that is why i am writing. videos with dark scenes show allot more blocky pixelation. its getting to me. i do like the smaller file sizes BUT i'm not happy with the quality.
is there a way that i can choose an average bitrate to use?

how would i go about changing this? thanks :)

[pacaveli211]

lower cq or specify bitrate/size with 2 pass....

[valkyrie743]

I know VERY little about video encoding, what is CQ and by lowering it, what does it do?

[buffalofloyd]

I know VERY little about video encoding, what is CQ and by lowering it, what does it do?

The lower the CQ the higher the video bitrate but in the end you will not be able to determine what the final size of the movie will be. I suggest using the 2-pass mode and you can select the final output size of the video or the video bit rate individually. Personally I encode all my BD movies that are 1080p with a video bit rate of 8192 kbps and I think they look great. Good luck!

Is there a way to set the language you want to use, in Ripbot's ini file. eg:- English, instead of "undetermined"

I wouldn't do that unless you need a specific size.
use the CQ values. specifying size / bitrate like that will have some negative effects:
some movies will require more / less bitrate
your encodes will be longer since it has to run 2 passes

the only advantage is if you need a specific size and a potential placebo from unnecessary bits =P

just find a CQ value that's good / works for you.
try 20. if the files are too big / seem to have to high of a bitrate, go with 22.

[pacaveli211]

@mrpitman

not that I know how to fix his issue
but...I've burned 100's of AVCHD's without that.
personally I'd suggest leaving it off for such low bitrate stuff
it will (at least with my player) give you issues with fast forward / rewinding though.
otherwise you don't notice.

won't hurt to try it though.

hi , i do not know if this is the right place for my question

will the program works fine if i replace the x264 codec with the latest release of x264 r1995 ??

[pacaveli211]

x264 is not a codec
you can swap out the x264 exes with newer builds though
just make sure you name them properly and get the 8bit ones

[Ajax_Undone]

Um yes, yes it is a codec! A CLI Codec for sure, but a codec none the less. :)

[LigH]

Well, as "Radio Eriwan" uses to reply: "Depends."

A "codec" is "a coder or a decoder". In the case of x264, an (en)coder only.

As an independent executable, many people prefer to call it "encoder" specifically, to separate it from codec libraries which are used by video tools or even installed in operating systems, but not executable on their own. But that's a matter of habit.
__

And: Substituting x264 versions / revisions may usually work. Until the set of command line options and default values is changed remarkably again.

[pacaveli211]

no, it's not a codec
h264 is the codec
x264 is just software that encodes using the h264 codec

[QBhd]

no, it's not a codec
h264 is the codec

So if e.g. "a VfW codec" shall not be called "codec" because you prefer "codec" meaning the theoretical standard over the practical implementation, how would you call them now, all of a sudden, after decades of habit using this term already?

Well, I am used to see a "codec" as specific software implementation (see also: the DivX and the Xvid VfW/ICM codecs, or the LAME ACM codec), and ITU-T H.261, H.263, H.264, G.723 etc. as theoretical algorithms or specifications, yet without implementation.

The english Wikipedia confirms my opinion:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codec
... A codec (the program) should not be confused with a coding or compression format or standard – a format is a document (the standard), a way of storing data, while a codec is a program (an implementation) which can read or write such files. In practice "codec" is sometimes used loosely to refer to formats, however.

[pacaveli211]

so you're saying anything that can read and write a file is a codec?
or something that can encode is a codec?
so surcode DTS is a codec?
so DTS Master Audio Suite is a codec?
nope...these things are just software
so tsMuxeR is a codec? nope, it's just muxing software

[benjyv]

Hi Atak !!

If I change "Trelis Quant." from Standard to Enhanced , should I change too , "Adaptive B-Frames" ????

[LigH]

@ pacaveli211:

It is not me all alone who says that (or something similar, as the file access is not part of the codec, which is rather only "the kernel of the conversion process")...

If it is persistent in Wikipedia, it is possibly an opinion of a majority. Hopefully. Yet it is no definition of the term. But which person would be rightfully able and responsible to define a term like "codec"?

So, the Wikipedia suggests to use "the codec" for "the software implementation of a standard", and "the standard" for a document, specification, algorithm.


Examples:

MPEG4 Visuals (ISO/IEC 14496 Part 2) is a standard, independent of its specific implementation as a codec. It does not process video. It is only written on paper or in a text file. Passive.

DivX is a specific MPEG4 SP/ASP software codec; "Dr.DivX" is an encoding application containing the DivX 6 codec; "DivX 6 Pro" is a "VfW codec" DLL containing the DivX 6 codec, to be used by VfW compatible video applications.

Xvid is a specific MPEG4 SP/ASP software codec; Koepi's Xvid VfW codec contains the Xvid codec in a VfW codec framework; ffmpeg contains the Xvid codec in a CLI application.

Toshiba TC35273 is a specific MPEG4 SP@L1 hardware codec chip, to be used by moblie devices like cellphones.

The "DTS Master Audio Suite" is an application, containing the "DTS-HD Master Audio" codec as audio processing routine.

RipBot264 is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) calling specific encoder applications which contain different codecs as encoding routines.

Yikes, that was close. I was almost off-topic.

[crakarjax]

suggestions:
- dont re-analyze when adding multiple titles from the same disc (blu-ray)
- can you add ac3 support for mp4 files?
- text doesn't scale well with changes in windows 7 text size, as set through display properties
- add support for default audio formats per container/audio encoder

hope it helps

@Atak_Snajpera

I just wanted to let you know that when selecting the Dolby TrueHD stream and selecting Wav as the output converts the bit-depth to 16bit even if the source was 24bit. I haven't tried to Flac but, a fix for the Wav bit-depth would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[73ChargerFan]

chane2k1, eac3to can convert 24bit THD to 24bit flac, but it'd be outside this gui.

[crackinhedz]

two questions, if already answered please point me in the right direction...

profile 4.0 "Bluray" & "Progressive" ...are they one and the same?

also, in regards to Lossless audio (TrueHD and Dts HD-MA), I can demux the lossless audio stream from the .m2ts file using tsRemuX, then I can mux the lossless audio back into my converted mkv file using mkvmerge.

I was curious why this is not possible going straight through Ripbot??

Thanks for any insight

[chane2k1]

chane2k1, eac3to can convert 24bit THD to 24bit flac, but it'd be outside this gui.

thanks for testing that for me, im just hopping to have it set in the gui or just have the truehd stream de-multiplex option, so i can do the conversion myself. the goal is to convert my 24bit truehd discs down to dts 1536 with 24bit depth. i just have a lot to do. it's cumbersome to do them all manually.

why are you wasting time doing such things?
just keep the truehd...or grab the core

[ahmad2008]

And: Substituting x264 versions / revisions may usually work. Until the set of command line options and default values is changed remarkably again.

well ,
if the replacement of x264 must be combined with doing some changes in the set of command line options and default values then i should keep x264 as it is with no replacement at all.
because i am not capable of doing such thing.
-------
the reason i asked about updating x264 is that i have more than 20GB video files i want to reduce their sizes ( Encoding ) at highest quality as possible.
----------
i am new boy at encoding so bear with me please.

[chane2k1]

this is not a waste of time for someone that appreciates sound. truehd unfortunately is not an acceptable option for me to keep compatibility around the house and i'd like to have the audio be as close to the source as i can. dts-1536 supports a 24bit depth and truehd's core is only 16bit.

if the -down16 switch is removed or a truehd stream option is added i wont have to demux once with ripbot then again with eac3to for the truehd stream. crossing my fingers.

[Atak_Snajpera]

24 bit audio = placebo. If humans can't hear noise in 16 bit sound so why would you waste space for 24 bit????

[kypec]

24 bit audio = placebo. If humans can't hear noise in 16 bit sound so why would you waste space for 24 bit????
Moreover, IIRC the lossy formats like AC3 or DTS do not have any real bit-depth as such anymore -> the input signal has been transformed from time to frequency domain.
Besides, one can encode lossless audio to 640kbps AC3 which is considered just as good as 1536kbps DTS with free encoder (Aften) save a bit of space and lots of money at the same time! :p

You still have to represent frequency with some number of bits. More bits = higher frequency resolution.

I've replaced x264 builds without doing anything else, and everything worked fine. the command line options should still be the same...unless they've made some major changes to it.
this is all LigH was saying.


also, x264 is software, it's not a codec =)

no, someone who appreciates sound, like myself, wouldn't be messing with stuff, wasting time, and ruining quality.

what do you have that's not compatible with at least the ac3 core in truehd? are you never going to upgrade your equipment? NEVER? might as well keep the truehd...let it use the core for now...and then when you do upgrade you'll have stuff that can play the full truehd.

another, less optimal, solution is to encode the truehd to a full DTS-HD MA track

you just have the 4.0 from previous versions
when you extract the ripbot stuff it just adds/replaces. it doesn't delete any old stuff. if you download ripbot from the first page and look you'll see the bluray 4.0 is no longer there. so you can delete it if you want. it's just a text file...doesn't really matter either way

I have a 4.1 profile I use for BD25 stuff. I can give you my command line for it if you want to make yours. if you're using CQ values or locking size (unless your size lock is like 20GB+) it's not gonna help you any

[chane2k1]

You still have to represent frequency with some number of bits. More bits = higher frequency resolution.

thank you, someone that understands.

all i was suggesting is that the -down16 switch be optional, this would be useful for a lot of people, not just me. cool, peace. ill take care of it myself.

[pacaveli211]

have you tools considered the fact that while you're using those extra bits for a negligible 24bit vs 16 bit that you're degrading the quality because it could use those bits to provide better over-all sound quality? (this only applies to CBR encodes such as the discussed DTS 1536)

that being said if you are transcoding to Flac/wav or something, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to keep the 24bit
there might've been a reason why it needed to be switched down to 16 though

[wtfmateAteam]

Has anyone had any luck running Ripbot in Linux ? I can get it to "run" but after demuxing streams I get an error at "Starting DirectShow conversion failed" ... I've been able to dupe WM11 into the Wine prefix as well as other DirectShow filters ... what exactly is it looking for here?

- WTF

[mrpitman]

Well this didn't work for me except it wouldn't play in my standalone bluray player made by $ony. So I just formatted PC, and reinstalled everything. That fixed the issue. I'm assuming somehow a codec in the sys files or registry becasme corrupt and messed up RipBiot. Thanks for everyone's help.

[LigH]

24 bit audio = placebo. If humans can't hear noise in 16 bit sound so why would you waste space for 24 bit????

Con:

It is useful for a very high dynamic = difference between the loudest and the quietest scene.

Linear integer samples would have a good resolution for loud scenes, but e.g. in classical music, there can be very quiet scenes as well, which will then have only very few bits of resolution left.

Floating point based audio formats don't have any issue here, they can scale the exponent and still have a mantissa with good resolution.

So the waste of space is rather the combination of lossless storage and linear integer representation.

You will probably have a better chance to hear a lack of resolution in quiet scenes with lossless 16 bit PCM integer samples, than to hear masked frequency parts in lossily coded Dolby Digital with floating point frequency parameters (good psycho-acoustic model assumed).

Even though the overall chance is low in an average furnished living room, anyway... ;)

[NiteShdw]

I'm having two issues.

1. In 1.16.5, the progress of the rip is no longer shown. In 1.16.4 and earlier it would show the percentage progress at the bottom. Now it doesn't.

2. In many rips, the ripping process runs twice. First, it extracts the audio/video and then it starts over, this time only extracting the audio (for a second time). What's causing this? Is there a way to prevent it from ripping twice?

[pacaveli211]

is it extracting audio and then encoding it?
or maybe extracting the track and then extracting the core?

During the ripping stage, it'll go from 0% to 100%, then start right back over at 0% and run again. It appears to me that it's eac3to that's actually doing the two rips. I'm just curious if it's because of a certain audio type in the original disc or something.

It doesn't happen on every disc, but it happens on a lot.

[Atak_Snajpera]

After decoding Ripbot264 checks eac3to log. If ArcSoft Decoder Error is detected then it repeats whole proccess but this time without decoding whole DTS-MA to lossless format (.wav/.flac).

Have you tested it personally? Does it accept .avs scripts? Have you compared quality vs x264? Why do you need this?

[darkio]

Ok, I've testet it with my card firecoderblu from thomson. It's work very very well, great quality using upscaling (DVD source) to hdtv res 1280x720P and 1440x1080I. The image is more detailed, clear, more sharp and no have blur effect, tipic using normal upscale.

I've tried tmpgenc work 5 but the quality is very poor. Tried also aviutl to with spursengine plugin. Great results, but plugin is outdated, must be improved.
I need for me and everyone that use spursengine for personal use. Cli command line in boring to use in 2011.
Using hardware encoderis valid alternative to cpu (about 50 fps to upscale from 720x576 to 1280x720).
I've no tested yet with .avs script, i think to try later.

[LazLong]

First of all, I would like to thank you Atak_Snajpera for such an excellent tool. It is a simple and elegant solution that I have found quite useful.

FYI, the version of MPC that is shipping with RipBot264 has a buffer overflow vulnerability that dates back to 2007 and as it is no longer supported, probably won't get fixed.

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4939


Have you considered replacing MPC with MPC-HC?

[darkio]

Cri Spurscoder accept .avs script. This is awesome ! It's possibile to add it in ripbot264 like x264 command line, please ?

True shrink blu ray 50 to DVD9 or DVD5 in very short time with hardware encoder and good tools with great quality.

Cri SpursCoder is free for personal use. The difference with paid version are: no audio encoding, no container mux, RAW H264 ES only.

when should i use progressive and interlaced profiles ????

[dbone1026]

when should i use progressive and interlaced profiles ????

Use interlaced profile when dealing with interlaced content (i.e. 1080i)

[joae]

Resizing option is not remembered by Ripbot anymore. Earlier versions would use the same resizing settings for all subsequent videos, now it has to be changed manually for each and every one. Not very user-friendly when adding dozens of videos, and especially since I wasted several days of encoding time due to this, and found out on vacation that all my new videos on my PSP were unusable :mad:

[benjyv]

I've encoded a .ts file into .mkv format . The original audio was MPEG Audio . After encoding resulted a similar MPEG Audio track but out of sync.
I converted MPA into AC3 but same out of sync between sound and image..

How could I solve this issue ???

Should I rename .ts file into .m2ts ???

[Atak_Snajpera]

yes. This should help.

Thanks a lot !!!!

[pacaveli211]

WRONG
use interlaced profile when you want to OUTPUT interlaced content. if your source is interlaced you'll most likely want to deinterlace and decimate. (and use the progressive output)

Resizing option is not remembered by Ripbot anymore. Earlier versions would use the same resizing settings for all subsequent videos, now it has to be changed manually for each and every one. Not very user-friendly when adding dozens of videos, and especially since I wasted several days of encoding time due to this, and found out on vacation that all my new videos on my PSP were unusable :mad:

there might be a may to make a custom AVS script, so it always resizes. someone here may be able to tell you how to do so. I can't though

[crakarjax]

Just wanted to report for reference that the ic10 (compiled with intel compiler) version of ffdshow was causing crashes on my system when encoding a movie. The faulting library was ffmpegmt.dll, reference by avs2yuv.exe.

I'm on Windows 7 x64.

[Cartman]

I got a 7.1 DTS-MA track. What's the best option here for targeting AAC 5.1: Checking or unchecking 5.1 downmix? What's the difference here?

Also, the DTS-MA is labeled "strange setup", but seems to sound ok as 5.1 or lossy DTS core.

[crakarjax]

Another suggestion: it seems that when the source is selected, say a blu-ray disc, that the first item in the "playlist" dropdown of the "select sstream" dialog is automatically analyzed. It would be helpful to let the user select the playlist entry and then analyze it in the case that the first entry is not the desired one.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I got a 7.1 DTS-MA track. What's the best option here for targeting AAC 5.1: Checking or unchecking 5.1 downmix? What's the difference here?
Both methods are ok. If you check 5.1 downmix then eac3to will reduce number of channels. Otherwise ripbot264 will do the same via avisynth script.

OK , this time what method should I apply to get out a good / proper encode and to eliminate that delay ??

[LigH]

Not that I have any experience with DVB ... but I always read that one should first process Transport Streams with MPEG-2 video with ProjectX, a cut-off front GOP might fix it already... who knows.

[Atak_Snajpera]

@benjyv
send me 100 MB sample to www.mediafire.com. Use DGsplit (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=143963)

BTW. delay is constant or it increases during playing?

[benjyv]

Seems to be increasing but it's hard to realize in real time...possibly must be constant...who know's ??? :D I still haven't managed to realize this thing :(

well , I've sent you two samples because it may be difficult to work on one and probably the first sample is not relevant :

Thanks !!

[Atak_Snajpera]

in first sample i get perfect sync if I set audio delay at -1000ms

in second sample at -1500ms

[benjyv]

OMG , but BOTH are from the SAME movie :( just few minutes distance..... and the movie is the ORIGINAL version , not remuxed or encoded....well , the truth is the movie is a HDTV production :( or smth similar....

What should I do in this case ??? :hmmm: As I remember the whole movie has 8 or 9 such chapters from different concerts ,mixed in one single story....

[Atak_Snajpera]

but second sample was cut out somewhere in the middle. not exactly at key-frame.


What should I do in this case ??? :hmmm: As I remember the whole movie has 8 or 9 such chapters from different concerts ,mixed in one single story....
well I would have done fast encode to some low resolution (640x360) with lowest profile (BASE 1.3) with -1000ms audio delay.

[benjyv]

No ,NEVER :(

This is HD and BASE 1.3 is too low :(( the same that resolution ( 640/360 ); at least i'll try a 720p ....

But I wanna ask you what sample was first and which one was second for you ???

1a is FIRST for me ans 2b is the second one ; you're right ,the second one is from about the middle , but not quite ( 30-40 %).... You gave food for thought with those + or - delays....

[Cartman]

I got a Blu-ray playlist as follows:

1) 00000.mpls, 00039.m2ts+00000.m2ts+00023.m2ts, 1:40:51

Question:

How to get rid of 00039.m2ts and 00023.m2ts?

Problem:

RipBot's crop dialog does only search inside 00039.m2ts as it comes first. But this is only a company logo with an aspect ratio that is different from the main movie. So no chance to crop here.

What I did already:

Tried BDEdit to edit mpls but did not succeed (weird user interface).

[Atak_Snajpera]

@benjyv
well I meant FAST DIRTY TEST ENCODE just to check if -1000 ms is correct for whole footage.

@cartman
copy 00000.m2ts to new folder and open that file in ripbot264

[benjyv]

I meant FAST DIRTY TEST ENCODE just to check if -1000 ms is correct for whole footage.


I'll try for last time another encode using these parameters...If I fail again , I'll give up to encode such HDTV stupid stuff :(

I'll use " Audio Delay (ms) from properties ;-)

Thanks for all advices !!!

[Bookkid900]

Hey, I keep on getting a error stating "Incorrect BASS.DLL version (2.3 is required)" when I try to load a video for it to be converted. Since no conversion is even starting I do not have a log to put in here. Thanks in advance!

PS: I have tried to download and replace the files in the /Tools/AviSynth plugins/BassAudio folder with the newer one that are linked from "?" button in RipBot.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I'll give up to encode such HDTV stupid stuff
What did you expect? It is Lady Gaga after all.

[benjyv]

I forgot to attach subtitles to an encode :(
How do I attach them after encoding taking into account that original subtitles are .sup files and I see that Ripbot transform them into .vobsub after encode...
Is there any possibility to attach ALL subtitles ,( using an external , additional soft ) - excepting Suprip that cannot be used for " exotique " languages like Chinese , Japanese or Koreean :D , I mean to attach similar vobsub files ,like Ripbot does ????

Thanks for help !!!!

[Atak_Snajpera]

How do I attach them after encoding taking into account that original subtitles are .sup files
mmg.exe

[benjyv]

Does it works ??? so , directly ???? I remember that I've tried few months ago and didn't work...

Let's see now...

1) activate ANYDVD HD
2) select any .m2ts directly from blu-ray disc in ripbot264.

[NiteShdw]

I'm having an issue with avs2yuv.exe crashing during an encode. It seems to happen on certain movies over and over again, usually crashing in the same spot. Sometimes changing the encoding profile has allowed it to work, but not all the time. I've made sure to remove my CPU overclock and that doesn't fix it either. So, is it a decoding error or issue with ffmpeg?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Atak, I do have AnyDVD HD.
But how do I add more than one .m2ts to a job?

[dbone1026]

Atak, I do have AnyDVD HD.
But how do I add more than one .m2ts to a job?

Just select one m2ts, Ripbot will put together the appropriate playlists (which effectively joins the multiple m2ts files)

[ArieS1204]

Oh I see.
Thanks a lot.

[Cartman]

For 2 weeks now, "avs2yuv.exe" crashes at random positions on my Windows 7 x64 machine and with different source material. It never did that for years.

Is this problem related to your "common problems" section, item 1 (avs2avi.exe crashes)?

[WildTexasChef]

I try to run v1.16.5 and I get the screen that says...

FFDshow (32bit) not installed...

I have another program that requires that FFDshow 64 bit version, Which IS installed on my computer.

So unless one can install BOTH 32 bit AND 64 bit versions of FFDshow and be able to select what to use, then I will have problems.

Unless there is a way to get ribot264 to work with the 64 bit version of FFDshow??????

I am currently using v1.16.5

Thanks

WTC

P.S. I did change this value is noted in earlier threads...
LOCAL_Machine\Software\GNU\ffdshow64 and look for revision, change the decimal value to 3309

[WildTexasChef]

Sorry Preludee, I forgot to mention that bit. Yes, Ripbot needs the 32bit version of ffdshow installed. It will still use the x64 version of x264 on a 64bit operating system, however. You can have both the 32 and 64bit versions of ffshow installed side by side, so keep the 64bit for media playback and install the 32bit version for Ripbot.

How do you install both side by side & tell FFDShow 32bit to be used only by ripbot and not other programs that I have that require the 64 bit version?

---

Update:

I ran & installed the latest version of FFDshow 32bit... Now RipBot264 is working... However the other 2 programs that I use for work no longer function & say I don't have the 64bit version of FFDshow installed.

Anyone know how to get both to the 32bit and 64bit of FFDshow to work together so that both my other programs and Ripbot264 will work?

When will Ribot264 be fixed so it will work with the 64bit version of FFDshow?? 64bit may be slower in some cases... but that isn't why I am using 64bit version. It is because the other programs I use for work require the 64bit version of FFDshow.

Thanks

Can Ripbot encode as FLAC an DTS file without encoding video track ??

How can I split the video file from audio DTS track and then to encode audio as FLAC ???
Is it possible ???
How ??
what commands ???

If I try to split before DTS track and then to encode separatelly , doesn't work :( Ripbot do not see it :(

[NiteShdw]

try this http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/files/SVN%20builds%20by%20clsid/generic%20builds/

I upgraded to the latest SVN build and that seems to have fixed the issue.

[NiteShdw]

1.16.5 stopped showing the progress of the RIP. 1.16.4 would show the percentage completed for the rip, but now the status area is just completely blank. It was really useful to estimate about how long until the rip was done. Is this a known issue?

Hi Atak !!

Besides this old question :

Can Ripbot encode as FLAC a DTS or PCM file without encoding video track ??

I have a new one :D

How can be marked an encode , smth like "watermarked " ,i.e. " encoded by SpeeDy " (or similar , doesn't matter) ?????

Hi Atak !!

Delete the pass1/2 .cmd and the muxing .cmd in the job folder.

"Watermarking": http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/Overlay

[benjyv]

@Lighto

Thanks ,but your version/offer is too professional ( overlay ) , like this one " .... DVD-Audio discs can also contain digital watermarking technology, typically embedded into the audio once every thirty seconds....."
I need and asked about Ripbot if it can includes in encodes a simple text like this :

http://anony.ws/di-BV4P.jpg

but without using mmg

Regarding " pass1/2 .cmd and the muxing .cmd " , can you be more specific ??? I didn't find them :(

That's not what I'm referring to. I'm referring to the Encoding Settings screen, BEFORE the job shows up in the job list. The encoding percentage shows up fine, it's the ripping from BluRay to MKV that doesn't show up.

It's the screen after you select the M2TS file, it shows the title info, subtitles, video format, chapters, etc. You click OK and it rips from the BluRay to video.mkv + audio. Once that's done, you can set your encoding settings. This is the stage that doesn't show the percentage in the status area.

It's probably better to run the encode audio batch file straight away than to go through the trouble of deleting other batch file you do not need.

[benjyv]

@Lighto

I see..... but how that " It's probably better to run the encode audio batch file straight away " ??? How can run the audio separatelly , stright away ???? That was my first question : how can I split the video encoding process from audio encoding process ???
Is more simple to delete those 3 files you've show me.....

[Atak_Snajpera]

Who else has the same problem like described by NiteShdw?

@darkio
I will get back to you latter.

[benjyv]

Who else has the same problem like described by NiteShdw?

I had it , but the reason was :

1. first time I forgot to install ffdshow
2. second time it gave me a conflict between ffdshow for win 32 and win 7 x64 ,installed on the same machine
3. need re-install Ripbot and what is more important : Format C:\

there is a virus taken from music MP3 files that causes strange behavior of Ripbot , like :
- disappearing icon descktop
- errors during encode or at starting process
- errors after encoding process

[Atak_Snajpera]

@Sh4d3
Does preview option work in ripbot264 with that file?
What happens if you rename your file to video.mkv?
Have you updated ffdshow (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/files/SVN%20builds%20by%20clsid/generic%20builds/)?

[Sh4d3]

Yes, the preview option does work and ffdshow is also current. However, renaming the file to video.mkv had no effect- still the same issue.

I have run into this problem where RipBot now simply just does not work, its doing absolutely nothing. I load in a file and it just sits there, no indicators no system usage, nothing. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the required components, even upgrading those that could be, i've tried upgrading and downgrading my codes (not that they changed when the problem occurred). I have tried moving it to a new drive, deleted the folders and extracted the 7z again, even re-downloaded the .16.5 as its the latest with no luck (however where does 1 get the 16.6 as indicated in the pic above?). I have run out of ideas to try here...

Have tried dozens of files, i run my entire series collection through RB, have over 500GB of previously done files and have about 200 waiting to be processed.

Think i that screenshot i had loaded an mpg file, but normally its avi and for kicks i tested with a small mkv file just to see if it loaded.

It generating no log file or job folders, absolutely nothing happens after loading the file, i even did a clean wipe of all codecs and installed just haalai (or however you spell it) and ffdshow and still nothing

Been there, done that my friend...unless you're talking about "DGsplit" and NOT "DGplit"; for which google gave me the finger. Feel free to check it out yourself. Anyway, I tried using DGsplit 1.2 (link provided by hoju3508, thank you), which seems to just chop files up into arbitrary segments without regard to file type. So the only payable segment of an .mkv file is the first one. Will that still work for you?

for an hour seems to be stucked or blocked
such behavior is normal?

For this encode I've checked 4.0 Progressive , deinterlace , decimate and crop

What should I do ????
Should I clear / delete cache ????

I think I will delete RB and install again, but this , unfortunately is not a solution :(

Hey Atak ,

OK , I'll let you know in few hours if it works......

Yep , seems to be working ,but after 4 hours of encode ,in the end when it must muxing , it didn't it :(
Does it matter if I have installed RB in partition F: and I asked to finish encode in partittion D: ??? I don't think so....
Usually I used to ask it finish encodes in partition G: and I haven't issue.....
I'll wait now for the second encode to see if it happenes similar lack of muxing

[Atak_Snajpera]

Why don't you use preview script function before encoding??? You can manually adjust a/v sync. Just click STOP in MPC and then PLAY.

[darkio]

@benjyv
try to remux it into mkv container or try to use another mpeg2 tools like cutterman or mpeg-vcr. Try to demux into elementary streams and put them into ripbot264. Sometimes ripbot fail audio/video synch when dgindex or dgAVCDec is used. The main problem is there, demuxed audio from external tools doesnt' works very well.
I suggest to author to leave dgavcdec and dgindex, and use avisynth direct show filter to open files without .d2v creation or demuxed audio.
Very usefull to add multiple audio too for final file.
Sometimes has happened to me with some TV show (multiple eps mpeg2 video and ac3 audio into mkv).

[benjyv]

I have used MeGui and have NO problem , No out of synch , No other issue

Btw ,I've told you that I tried with file extention changed ; in Ripbot same issue :(
I've also tried preview script function before encoding , but it didn't show me just a black screen :( it tried at the beginning to open a normal , lighty image but in a second the image becames BLACK and I cannot use it :( I presume is another RB bug , I reffer to this new version ....

I'll try smth new and told you later....

Thanks for advices !!!

[nekrosoft13]

seeking some advice on how to force/change aspect ratio.

ok, I'm trying to encode 1080p video that is 4:3 video in 16:9 aspect ratio with black bars on the side.

What I tried to do, is auto crop the black bars, and it cut off about 240 pixels on left and right side, resulting in 1440x1080p video.

Unfortunetly the resulting video 1440x1080p is still in 16:9 ratio :(

how can I force ripbot to use the correct 4:3 ratio?

[Atak_Snajpera]

@nekrosoft13
change --sar 4:3 to --sar 1:1 in jobx_EncodeVideoPass1.cmd and jobx_EncodeVideoPass2.cmd (if necessary)

@darkio
for .TS files DirectshowSource is used , for audio demuxing I use eac3to.

@benjyv
Have you tried this tool to check if your stream does not have any errors
http://www.bitstreamtools.com/download/index.php.
In order to avoid a/v sync issues I recommend to trim your stream. First frame MUST be a IDR-frame (keyframe). In TSPE only use IF- and IF+ buttons.

[ArieS1204]

I'm having an issue and it's driving me nuts!
I'm trying to back up my BD of Supernatural Season 1 Disc 1.
Instead of being 6 files it is one big ass file of 4h20mins.
So after encoding it with Ripbot I tried to split it in 6 files with MkvMerge by timelines but starting with file 2 the audio is way out of sync.
How do you guys do it?

[mrpitman]

I having another issue now with the latest version of Ripbot. I've noticed after going through the 1st past has completed and when it starts the 2nd pass for the conversion for a AVCHD disk I'm having an issue with ffdshow and haali splitter. Two other copies popup down by the time on taskbar on Windows 7 Home Premium x64. So why is this happening? I've tried uninstalling, and reinstalling both of them, restarted computer, and ran RipBitv1.16.5 again and still same issue. This is a complete new install of Windows 7 as well.

Its not causing errors, but its making my BDMV moves hiccup throughout the movie. When you wave your mouse over the other copies they just go away like when something just crashed and it was a copy in the task bar you waive mouse over it and disappears off your screen. Is the 2nd pass trying to open a copy and overwrites itself and crashes

[AiDz0r]

Hi there, I've installed [AviSynth v.2.5.8 MT, 64-bit] , [ffdshow_rev3914_20110629_clsid_x64.exe] , and [Haali Media Splitter 32-bit]. I actually wanted to get the full potential by installing the 64-bits, however when I try to open RipBot264, I get "Not Installed" for FFDshow is it because it must be 32 bit? Because if FFDshow has to be 32-bit then i have to make AviSynth 32-bit also, because AviSynth requires and reccomends FFDshow x64.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Everything MUST be 32 bit!!!

[AiDz0r]

oh nooo! Should i just uninstall everything then reinstall in 32 bit?

I'd probably demux each episode and then encode them separately. copying the m2ts to hdd and then renaming to .ts might be even easier.
...something like that is what I'd do. I'm not really sure how the disc is setup
make sure after ripbot scans the disc that you are choosing the right playlist(s) (scan with bdinfo)
there might be a playlist to play ALL of the episodes. if so...and if you're choosing that playlist, that'd account for why you end up with one big file contain all the episodes =)

[crackinhedz]

This is probably what happened, selected the "play all" file...which is just one large file with all episodes...should have copied just each individual episode by itself.

I figured this out with "Lost". :)

[Sh4d3]

Your sample works without any problems. So I have no solution for you at the moment.
I think I may have found a solution; seems I used the "weightb" switch incorrectly in the custom profile. I removed it and re-ran the job. Seems to be working now. I'll post an update when its finished.

Well I'm not surprised. It's not first time when user is in fact responsible for not working ripbot264.

Actually no, this was the only track available.
It seems Warner does it like that as this is the same with Chuck, Fringe, etc...

[Sh4d3]

@Atak_Snajpera:
I finally got it working. It was all my fault. It didn't really occur to me that I should double check my profile settings until the exact same problem started happening with a another rip. The thing that bugged me the most was how cryptic x264's error messages seem. Like x264 [error]: could not open input file `1' which looking back now was probably just referring to an error with one of the options or its value- in this case "weightb 1" and not the actual input file. So is it safe to assume that this feature is always on?

[znelbok]

Hi all

I have just started with BR so I may have missed something simple here very easily. I apologise if this has been asked, but this thread is 100+ pages long and is too long to read through on a 64K connection.

I am trying to use ripbot on an XP SP3 machine.

I had to install Java, FFDshow etc, to get it to load up.

WHen I start a job, it runs for a couple of seconds and finishes. Know I know its not a super computer so I went looking into the logs and found this

Error: The source file 'D:\Temp\RipBot264temp\video.264' could not be opened successfully, or retrieving its size by seeking to the end did not work.

Checking the directory, there is indeed no video.264 file there.

How do I fix this problem, what have I done wrong.

Thanks

Mick

Thats odd, RIpbot264 should see the individual playlists (i.e. one per episode). Another option, use MakeMKV t o rip out the individual episodes, and then put through Ripbot. I had no issues with the Supernatural BR discs.

Thats odd, RIpbot264 should see the individual playlists (i.e. one per episode). Another option, use MakeMKV t o rip out the individual episodes, and then put through Ripbot. I had no issues with the Supernatural BR discs.
Really, eh?
Can I use the free version of MakeMKV for that?
As I've already payed for AnyDVD HD and don't want to buy another software license...

MakeMKV is still free while in beta

MakeMKV is still free while in beta
I tried using MakeMKV and it tells me I have 30 days to evaluate this function and then I need to pay, am I missing something?

I've built an avchd with subtitles but the subtitles are invisible on the PS3. I can view the sup file and it looks ok. Any ideas?

Also, updraded from 1.16.4 to 1.16.5 in an effort to solve this problem but 1.16.5 gets stuck at "Please wait... Gathering information...". I've read lots of posts about this and tried all the suggested fixes with no success. Any suggestions? I'm running Windows 7 x64.

Hi all,

I've been trying to encode the LOTR extended trilogy I recently bought (starting with FotR), however I've encountered a few problems along the way - I'll be referring to FotR from now on as I believe I can extend the solution to the others.

It's spread across 2 BD-50's so normally one would just extract the av streams (.h264/.dts core) from each and append/mux them together using mkvmerge or tsmuxer, etc. - pretty simple you'd think? Unfortunately not. In fact it turns out there's about 6-8s and 1-2s of black screen at the end and beginning of the 2 av streams, respectively. Personally, I'd prefer my final result to have end scene -> next scene instead of a 10s transition screen so I went about cropping it using tsmuxer/mkvmerge (I forget which I used - this past week's been a blur) and then appended the desired files back together. It worked well as far as I recall and I then fed the .ts (.h264 stream) and .dts into RipBot; however the end result was less than desirable. The audio was out of sync and it progressively got further ahead of the video, which I thought was an fps issue as I've seen this sort of thing happen before. I tried encoding it a second time, this time using Assume -> 23.976, but again the same result.

I've used RipBot a couple hundred times now and it works every time so I'm not quite sure what the problem is, but my best guess is it has to do with the separate files and perhaps not using the best method for cropping them? I'm not sure how to proceed, so any assistance is much appreciated.

[7ekno]

I'm not sure how to proceed, so any assistance is much appreciated.

Cut with DGIndex (Either the NV or AVC package variant), append with Avisynth ;)

Feed AVS to Ripbot ;)

So workflow would look something like:
M2TS -> DGIndex -> DTS + H264 + D2V
2nd M2TS -> DGIndex -> DTS + H264 + D2V

Avisynth would go something like:

a=DGSource("1st D2V file")
b=DirectShowSource("DTS file", audio only)
c=AudioDub(a,b)
d=DGSource(2nd D2V file")
e=DirectShowSource("2nd DTS file", audio only)
f=AudioDub(d,e)
c + f

Is the first sub a blank one when viewed in SupRip or BDsup2Sub? If so, just removed it, and remux the modified one back into your AVCHD.

@Atak_Snajpera
Hi, I've found a little gui for crispurscoder (spursengine). It use free software and avisynth but not support for pal resolution.
It's very simple to use. Can you take a look ? Maybe can be used with ripbot264.

7ek

So I've got the dts tracks and dga's now, and wrote the avs.
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\RipBot264\Tools\dgAVCDec\DGAVCDecode.dll")
a=AVCSource("C:\f1\f1.dga")
b=DirectShowSource("C:\f1\f1 PID 1100 C+L+R+SL+SR 48 1536 DELAY 0ms.dts", audio=true)
c=AudioDub(a,b)
d=AVCSource("C:\f2\f2.dga")
e=DirectShowSource("C:\f2\f2 PID 1100 C+L+R+SL+SR 48 1536 DELAY -39ms.dts", audio=true)
f=AudioDub(d,e)
c + f

For DSS, is it audio=true or video=false? I haven't really used DSS much before, although it looks pretty straightforward. As for RipBot, the avs shows up in the audio window as well; however, it gives me a few profiles (vorbis, aac, ac3) instead of copy stream, which is what I'd like.

Advice? Thanks for the help thus far. :cool:

Those tests are biased I have to say. Every time I see a comparison chart there is always a different product on the top listed as the best.

Pick one that doesn't complain about good usable software and be done with it.. I do however agree with Atak, being a PC tech I've never seen a problem with MSE. :rolleyes:

Steer as far away from McAfee as you can get... Truly the worst AV EVER... Ive seen more computers come to me that have McAfee installed and working whiles being infected with 4 or more active chunks of malware. Root kits, Trojans, Key loggers etc.

[pacaveli211]

yeah McAfee is trash
MSE seems pretty decent - I use it on my laptop
AVG is ok
Avast / Avira / Eset Nod are all supposed to be good
I use Comodo on my desktop

honestly you're gonna be a lot better off if you just don't be a dipshit while using the internet (don't run virus scans from popups...don't install shit, etc)
and also doing things like using FF / AB+ / NoScript (instead of using dumb browsers like IE)

Subtitles Problem

While converting mkv/x264 videos to a smaller size I've been having the problem of the included subtitles being hardcoded into the converted video.

On the Edit Job > Properties settings I've choose "Do not use subtitles" but they keep being hardcoded.

Could someone please tell me how to stop this from happening. It's ruined alot of videos.

Incase this info helps. I often add videos to the queue to be processed later, reopening Ripbot when needed.

That 20%-30% speedup probably only refers to the time spent on the mbtree algorithm, not to the overall speed of an encode.

Never put any files other than links on your desktop. Tools which add files in the same directory will clutter it until you don't remember what's important for your Windows' health and what isn't.

Make a directory on a data partition (if you have more than one, and you should – for security and speed). Place your video files there. That keeps your desktop clean. If you absolutely need quick access there, copy a link to that directory to your desktop...

1. No audio probably because the ffmpeg in RipBot264 cannot extract/copy the audio stream from your .avi that seems to be warez.

2. Output directory contains "illegal" characters, that is due to your windows user name. Change your output directory to "D:\" .

There is a very good working Beta... I have been using it for months and months... Here is the link if you are interested. I never (Or I should say very rarely) use x86 IE... 64-Bit is much faster and crisper. It also has less add-ons :)

you can try increasing your DPI in display settings (it's under the resolution tab and then the advanced button or something, I don't have xp so I can't tell you exactly based on memory alone =P)
this will affect everything though, not just ripbot

[flebber]

Yeah Display -> Settings -> Advanced and then General, DPI should be at 96.

[pacaveli211]

Yeah Display -> Settings -> Advanced and then General, DPI should be at 96.

no, he wants to make things larger
so he needs to switch it to 120 (I think is the higher one) and see if he likes that

[LigH]

@ MAL1K:

Still staying with XP SP2 might be seen as "suicide trip"... I hope this machine is far away from the Internet. ;) And there is already software which requires SP3 as minimum.

There seems to be an issue with some possibly corrupt font files. No idea how to fix that reliably. But falling back to "System" looks serious to me.

[MAL1K]

Thanks for reply friends ..

increasing my DPI not working, its just increase tittle fonts (as shown in screen shot) ..

To make your PC part of a bot network and have it send out spam mails or attack other PCs – without you even noticing.

How certain can you be not having a rootkit? And you might catch one easily. Like by browsing the web with insecure software. Even by just being connected, depending on the vulnerability of the unfixed security hole.

SP3 alone may not protect you from all that. But many following updates require it as base.

But well ... that's not the topic here.

because DTS is superior, therefore, ripbot is saving you from making that tragic mistake of transcoding.

It can yes... when his TV does not support DTS audio or want an file of smaller size.
Or when you do not have a good sound system to enjoy the full of DTS capability.

I just tested this.
I loaded a movie - in an MKV, with DTS
output is set to MKV as well
I have the Aften AC3 options

is your DTS in the container? or a separate file?
is it DTS-HD MA/HR or just DTS 1536/768?
you're not trying to output to .mp4 are you?

umm....DTS is rated higher than everything, excluding the ANC_Original
the test is useless though. find something that compares ac3 640 and DTS 1536. because that's the real competition
DTS-HD MA vs TrueHD might be nice to see too
although - since they're lossless, there shouldn't be a difference

sorry wanna ask abt mediainfo. im using vista x64 and your mediainfo gui, and recently i want to copy the encoding section only and paste it to notepad just for collecting information purpose. but when i copy those section (ctrl+c) seems windows having problem bcz 90% my pc will BSOD. im not save as text, just drag and copy the "encoding settings" part inside media info.

anyone having same problem as me? or anyone knows what happen?

[hoju3508]

@bLusiLv, no problems on Win7 64, not sure about Vista 64.

Are you using the 64-bit version of Mediainfo and did you click on View -> Text?

[bLusiLv]

@bLusiLv, no problems on Win7 64, not sure about Vista 64.

Are you using the 64-bit version of Mediainfo and did you click on View -> Text?

no, im using klite codec pack which includes atak's mediainfo simple gui, not from the original installer. i guess i figured that this is my problem, not mediainfo's, bcz even if i copy encoding settings text from notepad or browser, i still got bsod. but if i copy the normal texts thats fine..

for example if i copy texts like
cabac=1 / ref=5 / deblock=1:-1:-1 / analyse 0x3:0x33 / me=umh / subme=9 / psy=1 / etcetc...... that will cause BSOD (i was typing them all, im afraid my pc will bsod again)

but for normal texts like
ID : 1
Format : AVC
Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile : Baseline@L2.1
Format settings, CABAC : No
Format settings, ReFrames : 3 frames
etc.... thats okay.. (i was copied them here without any crash)
i dunno whats happening, looks like my clipboard doesnt accept those kind of texts which cause bsod. any clue? my 32 bit xp doesnt have this problem..

How long should it take for Ripbot to do a conversion to MVK from data on the HDD?

[pacaveli211]

How long should it take for Ripbot to do a conversion to MVK from data on the HDD?

you've not provided enough information for anyone to accurately answer that. it depends on how long the movie is, what the AR of the movie is, what CPU you have, and what settings you're using in ripbot. there are lots of other factors as well, but these are the main ones.

I can do an encode - sourced from bluray, to BD25 in about 6hrs. this is an average and I'm using an AMD 1090t. longer movies and/or lower AR movies have taken longer. for example The Island took over 7 hrs, because it's 2:16 long. Avatar would take even longer yet, because it's 1.78:1 and like 3 hrs long.

that movie is like 2hrs 40mins long
if you encode to 720p (vs 1080p) it'll go a lot faster
encoding with CQ vs 2-pass will also be faster

make sure your laptop is keeping good and cool. they're not exactly designed to be doing such things

[8ternity]

Check also if you power management is in "Performance" or "Balanced"; it can affect the time too.

Normally, all windows, even a desktop is set to "Balanced" and not "Performance". You need to modifiy manually. A setting that is set in defaut in windows. lol!!

Hi all

Have tried searching the thread to see if this has been reported elsewhere, but couldn't see any reference to it.

I have a number of .wtv files recorded off-air from Canal Digital in Sweden. They are a mix of MPEG2 SD and H264 HD (720p and 1080i I think). The MPEG2 .wtv files work fine with RipBot, but the H264 HD stuff seems to fall over during the remux process from .wtv to .ts and the .ts files aren't created.

Is this a known problem? Should I be upgrading other components?

Hope you can help - this looks like a great solution for me.

Thanks

Through reading this forum and random guides, i'm pretty good at converting my blu-rays to mkv now. However, I think I want to start converting my DVDs as well, make everything digital. Are there any guides for SD/DVD and ripbot, or is ripbot not the best tool for DVD? I'd rather use x264 than xvid, and i'm familiar with ripbot already so I hope it works well with SD/DVD to mkv.

[Hyrax]

Converting blu-rays and DVDs are almost exactly the same with Ripbot. It is really easy to use with for DVDs of movies. I've never figured out the best way to use it with DVDS of TV shows (multiple episodes), so I first use something like DVD Decrypter or VideoReDo to extract the episodes.

While ripping any BluRay movie RipBot is stopping at Muxing 100%. Even leaving it running overnight does not help. The only posts I have found related to this say to try uninstalling and reinstalling everything or to try an earlier version. I have tried both of these suggestions. Neither solved the problem. The computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. What is causing this hang?

Hey Atak !!!

PS : I found this link : http://x264.fushizen.eu/

and tried to install new one , but it failed ...I don't know why !!
some explanations will be welcome !!!

[sprime1]

I'm trying to convert 1080p mkv files to a 4gb MAX 720 file, to try to get as high of a bitrate as i can get, using Ripbot, but there's a problem.

When I convert the original 1080p MKV to a 1080p MP4, setting the file size to 4gb gets me a bitrate of about 3500kbps.

Now, when I convert the original 1080p MKV to a 720p MP4, setting the file size to 4gb, it gets me a bitrate of about 3501kpbs.

What's the deal? I would think that the bitrate would increase a lot?

[klopsknoedel]

why should it increase? The filesize (4GB) and the duration of your movie doesn't change while changing the resolution! So you have even 3500kbps for 720p AND 1080p!! To help understanding thatt "kbps" stands for Kilobyte Per Second so "Same duration and same filesize = same kbps".

Ok.... I guess i'm just not comprehending some of the conversion mechanics.

So what's the benefit of converting to 720p instead of 1080p if the file size and kbps remain the same?

When you download the x32 version simply rename it x264_x86.exe and copy over (same goes for the x64 version). That doesn't work?

[benjyv]

Dunno yet....must try again....for the moment I've started a new encode :(
I'll tell soon
10x mate !!!


But what about that extension ?? - pthreadBC2.dll
should I delete it or remains ??? Needs to be updated , too ???
I don't know what is that for :(

[hoju3508]

@benjyv, I left that dll file alone and replaced the old x264*.exe with a newer version and it works for me. I have re-encoded about 10 jobs now.

FYI, I used the binaries from BD-RB since I figured that jdobbs has done a lot of testing. You just have to rename them to like RipBot's.

- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r2044).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE to
the latest release (r2044).

[benjyv]

10x guys !!!

IT'S WORKS !!!!:D

[pacaveli211]

Ok.... I guess i'm just not comprehending some of the conversion mechanics.

So what's the benefit of converting to 720p instead of 1080p if the file size and kbps remain the same?

if a single bit of data has to hold 1920x1080 px or 1280x720 px
which do you think is gonna look better?

obviously a single bit of data doesn't hold a full i-frame...but that's just to put into perspective/understandable terms

[crackinhedz]

Can somebody please advise me on how to deal with forced subtitles?
There are two methods (that I am familiar with) ...

You can build these forced subtitles into the picture, or just leave them as an optional selection.


Once you have loaded the movie into Ripbot264:

Go to "Properties" -> "Permanent Subtitles" -> "Build Into Picture" ... select the FORCED english subtitles. This should build the subs into the picture.

The other option is "Selectable Subtitles" -> "+" -> select the FORCED english subtitle.

This makes the subtitle selectable without building into the picture...meaning, you can either use it or not use it during the movie.

For me though, I go one step further and when the movie is finished encoding, I use MKVMerge and give the subtitle a "forced" flag. This way its not built into the picture, but is forced anyway. (maybe ripbot gives a "forced" flag? but im not sure, so I just use MKVMerge)

[pacaveli211]

I use bdsup2sub to add forced flags to subs - this is when keeping it in .sup form (avchd / bd5 / bd9 / bd25)
this does the same thing (with players) as crackinhedz was describing. it forces the subtitles to show, but they're not part of the picture and can be shut off

[klopsknoedel]

maybe ripbot gives a "forced" flag? but im not sure, so I just use MKVMerge

unfortunatly not ... i'm waiting for this feature a while now but don't wanted to bother atak with that. would be nice if this could be implemented.

[8ternity]

Hi Atak,

Did you think that ripbot264 can be paused sometimes in your futur developpement suggestions? Did you already got that idea? Im using my laptop to convert some other project and would like to pause sometimes and resume at home when im back.

THanks.

[benjyv]

Which is the right syntax for these parameters to be written within RB code box ???

--psy-rd 1.20:0.20
--me-range 32
--aq-mode 1:0.80

The above parameters are using MeGui syntax....

[KiwiKid]

Can you increase subtitle font size when converting BD to MKV with hardcoded subs? :thanks:

[pacaveli211]

Hi Atak,

Did you think that ripbot264 can be paused sometimes in your futur developpement suggestions? Did you already got that idea? Im using my laptop to convert some other project and would like to pause sometimes and resume at home when im back.

THanks.

yeah I've asked for this too. it'd be a nice feature

[prexaspes]

Has anyone used InterFrame with RipBot? I've been using RipBot for a while now and would like to know what script works best with RipBot to create interframes.

I put a script in from the MeGui guide and left it at the Medium preset, ran it through RipBot 2-Pass encoding, but the interpolation seems to have bad frames in it in throughout the video.

Do I need to do single pass encoding with it?

[Atak_Snajpera]

@8ternity and pacaveli211
There is nothing I can do. However you can always use Sleep/Hibernate function in windows.

sleep / hibernate doesn't work in my case. sounds like it might work for 8ternity though
if I'm wanting to pause it...it's so I can free up resources to do something else on my PC, not because I want to shut off my PC.
but, if there's no way you can add it, then it doesn't matter.
thanks for the reply =)

I am not sure if this will help you out but here is what I do when I want to free up resources for other computer activities while encoding. I have a quad core processor so while x264 is doing its thing I go into task manager and set the affinity of x264 to use less cores. This is one method I know of but if you don't have a multi-core processor I don't think it will do you much good. Just a suggestion for you to ponder.

[benjyv]

Well I've discovered few tricks :


MeGui --> RipBot

--me-range 32 --> --merange 32

--aq-mode 1:0.80 --> --aq-strength 1:0.80 I'm not sure if numbers are proper written


--psy-rd 1.20:0.20 --> -- ??? Here is my last issue https://hdbits.org/pic/smilies/hmmm.gif

Can someone help me ????

[8ternity]

@8ternity and pacaveli211

Did it possible to do with with with a check option "Pause" between the 1-pass and 2-pass ? Did it possible and usefull for other member (not for me).

[hoju3508]

@benjyv, it's the same syntax for --psy-rd in RipBot.

[benjyv]

Yep , could be , but I've tried first two and didn't worked :(
It gave me error and disconnected RB :(
Maybe there is a special place , a special location where to be placed these parameters within code box.....
Atak ,could you enlighten us?

Thanks !

@hoju3508

Have you tested them ???
I don't know why it gaves me error :(

[hoju3508]

@benjyv, I've stopped tweaking the x264 options and started using this 1080p/i example (http://www.x264bluray.com/home/1080i-p) as a custom profile and it looks pretty good to me.

You can find the original discussion here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=154533).

[klopsknoedel]

@hoju3508
could you please upload your profiles? i've tried to set them up on my own but i don't know which parameters to delete or which of them will be inserted by RipBot...

would be great if you could do so

[benjyv]

yep , @klopsknoedel is right , I'm also interested in a similar problem , but for a 720p encode...

Thanks hoju3508 !!!

[klopsknoedel]

@atak
do you have a documentation or anything similar which helps to create an own profile? or a dummy? as said, i don't realy know which parameters will be added to the command-line.

[hoju3508]

I have the following settings below in a file named "[HIGH 4.1] BD9 . Veryslow . Film.txt" in the Profiles directory. This came from Authoring a professional Blu-ray Disc with x264 (http://www.x264bluray.com/home/1080i-p) 1080i/p example.

--preset veryslow --tune film --bluray-compat --vbv-maxrate 15000 --vbv-bufsize 15000 --level 4.1 --keyint 24 --slices 4 --aud --sar 1:1

where --preset can be:

Values available: ultrafast, superfast, veryfast, faster, fast, medium, slow, slower, veryslow, placebo.

and --tune can be:

Values available: film, animation, grain, stillimage, psnr, ssim, fastdecode, zerolatency.

You can find more info on X264 Settings - MeWiki (http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings#qpstep).

The end result looks something like this:

Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=4 / deblock=1:-1:-1 / analyse=0x3:0x133 / me=umh / subme=10 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.15 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=24 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=2 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=-3 / threads=12 / sliced_threads=0 / slices=4 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=1 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=3 / b_pyramid=1 / b_adapt=2 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=1 / keyint=24 / keyint_min=13 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=24 / rc=2pass / mbtree=1 / bitrate=12367 / ratetol=1.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=0 / qpmax=69 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / vbv_maxrate=15000 / vbv_bufsize=15000 / nal_hrd=vbr / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:1.00

[klopsknoedel]

wow ... thanks a lot ... that helps!!

[jandor]

Does anybody see importance in that?

We know there are many ways to do this separately...
I asked to Atak, if he could create a function MUX (video and audio) for RipBot.
Normally I use this function to replace an audio for other.
I speak of MUX with the conversion of audio, as well as the function "JUST MUX" of StaxRip.
I refer to MUX videos of MKV and MP4. As well as the RipBot allows to maintain the audio, which could maintain also a video.

Summarizing: That he could maintain the video and to convert or to exchange only the audio.
At the moment, if I want to remain with the original video stream, I need to extract before through MKVExtractGUI2, tsMuxerGUI, Yamb, etc.
And then to use the MKVMerge or Yamb to obtain a MKV and MP4, respectively.


More...
The user Soneca had the idea, and it commented with me...
Naturally, that does not change anything for those who already have English as the standard language.
The solution for some devices that do not activate the subtitles automatically.
Create the option to "The subtitles will be activated by default"...
Only for the encoding AVCHD.

@jandor

There IS such an option !!!!!
Watch carefully at the begining , when starts scaning...

[klopsknoedel]

maybe change the "Subtitles on" to "Force subtitle" to set this flag for MKV and M2TS - Files. That's an option i defenatly miss.

[jandor]

@benjyv
@klopsknoedel

Correction:

It would be like "Forcing subtitle", "Turn subtitle on"... "Selected forced".
Only for the encoding AVCHD.

[LigH]

@ hoju3508 & klopsknoedel:

Today you would probably just select "Blu-ray" as Target Playback Device for compatibility (uses the option "--bluray-compat"), select speed preset and content tuning, and done. That makes a lot of options implicit.

OK , I understood this !!!!
My issue is : if I wanna modify some of these parameters , at the begining , before starting encode , WHERE can I find this code box , or WHERE can I enter to sett up my own parameteres ???

In the above exemple that "code box" or "encoding settings" we can find at the end of operation.

How about to show us smb the location where everyone can change parameteres as per own wish , before starting encode ???

Or at least tell us where to place such parameteres just for tests !!!!

results an error every time !!! Why ???

The code box you've showed us has NOT enough room to receive ALL those parameters and as I already told , results ERROR !!!

No problem , if you don't wanna tell us that fabulous secret we'll limit our activity with RB at those few parameters :(

@ benyjv

I usually am not a complainer at all but it seems to me you want to add and do all this other stuff that ripbot wasn't entirely intended for. If you want to do all the other scripts and parameters and change things around why are you not using a more in depth GUI like megui? The whole point of ripbot is for more of us lamens who don't care about such settings and want a more simplistic GUI to work with. Personally I find your constant questions rather annoying and I'm not even the developer. I can't imagine how he feels.

[7ekno]

that ripbot wasn't entirely intended for.

Custom commandlines have always been a feature, but dim wits that think a MediaInfo / SEI data dump is the correct commandline format for x264 are complete tools ...

@benjyv you probably have no clue what I said, so here it is for you simplified:

The data in your code box is an INFORMATIONAL FORMAT only, the custom commandline field in Ripbot requires commands in the STANDARD X264 COMMAND LINE FORMAT ...

If that is still not simple enough for you, here is an example:

There is NO SUCH COMMAND as decimate = 1, it is written in the custom commandline box as --no-dct-decimate, furthermore, x264 commands are NOT separated by / characters, they are separated by <Space> and written in a way that -- precedes each parameter ...

Spend a little time understanding the process rather than requiring every simple little detail spoon fed to you ...

7ek

[pacaveli211]

might I add that anyone who needs to be doing overly in depth stuff with x264....might consider just using x264 directly
that's right, you can use x264 all by itself! =)

[dbart]

when i turn on support for dxva for h.264 in ffdshow, there is an error in encoding (avisynth). will it work in future ?

mostly i reencode recordings from sat with CQ=24 ( very often with noise filtering ). with SD stuff the quad-core CPU is busy almost on 99 %. with HD stuff (H.264) it's only 65-85 %. I think, that x.264 is waiting for data from avisynth. encoding frame rate is ~ 3 fps, core quad 2.5 GHz, XP PRO 32bit, 6 GB RAM ( i'm preparing to switch to 64-bit Win7, but PC is still working without problems more than 3 years and I'm enough lazy ;)

Hi guys ... i have a big problem. Everytime I try to denoise while encoding my computer crashes immediatly (sometimes after a while). I'm running Windows 7 x64 (so DirectX11 is installed by default).

These are my PC-Specs.:
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1967533

Does anyone has an answer?

[LigH]

That will depend a lot on the kind of denoising function you use.

Just an example: It won't make much sense to wonder about an overheated CPU core if the denoising is GPU assisted (FFT calculations being externalized to the video decoder on graphic chipsets via DirectX).

Anyway, I hope your system is not overclocked.

[klopsknoedel]

Hi. My CPU and GPU are not overclocked and i don't reach any critical temperatures.
I use the "Denoise"-Dropdownbox inside RipBot. Doesn't matter if i choose ANIME or FILM.

[Atak_Snajpera]

3) Denoising does not work
Install latest DirectX 9.0c and graphic drivers

.......

[klopsknoedel]

That's the reason why i've said that i have Windows 7 x64 with DirectX11 preinstalled. If i try to install DirectX9c it says that i allready have the latest version.

[Atak_Snajpera]

If i try to install DirectX9c it says that i allready have the latest version.
I assume that you tried "latest" from jun.
http://www.filehippo.com/download_directx/

[pacaveli211]

DirectX9 and DirectX11 are separately used. it's not like you can just use 11 for everything that needs 9
and here's the actual MS link:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=8109

[klopsknoedel]

Hi,
thanks a lot. I haven't known that both versions can run parallel on a system.
I know those two links. I also found the DirectX9.0c Redistributable for Developers (which has done a perfect job the past years before Win7) but i was afraid about overwriting the DirectX11 - libraries with the old 9er ones.

So thanks for that!!

[samtroy]

Hello all,

I just tried this pretty cool program but I was shocked to find out that Ripbot264 can not include more than one audio track in an MKV file.

For all people outside of english speaking countries this feature is absolutely essential!

Are there any plans to include support for multi audio MKVs in the future?

[Atak_Snajpera]

The problem is me because I always prefer original soundtrack + subtitles. I never liked hong kong movies with english soundtrack...
