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

[wiggo123]

just as note: remember that ps3 will not decode aac to 5.1 wav.. but will feed directly your amplifier with aac sound..

so.. your apli is able to decode aac ? if yes you need 5.1 aac audio, else your ps3 will output stereo wav..

Thanks for the quick reply.

I still dont understand, I thought if I use Ripbot to convert the x264 or h264 file to an MKV file, and then use MKV2VOB, the ps3 will play it.

Its when I use Ripbot that it doesnt give me the option to convert a 5.1 track playable on a ps3. As above, iy just gives me a 2 channel option.

just done a quick test.. the 5.1 audio is avaiable in drop-down list only if source have 5.1 audio ;)

How many channels do you see in GUI?

[waltzingandy]

OK, I've done some more testing and something is very screwy here! I started with a different, clean movie; Ratatouille on DVD. I extracted just he main movie (using DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter) and then combined the VOB's into file file. I then tried to convert them to PSP. Everything works great, apart from the audio which is NEVER in sync! I've done the conversion 4 times now with totally different delay settings and they seam to have no effect! The resulting mp4 file has the audio out-of-sync exactly the same amount each time! I tried, 0 -250, -850 and 300.

The only thing I can think of is that I have DGIndex already installed on my machine, could that be messing things up?

Use DVDFabHDDecrypter

I get it now :)

Ive been downloading x264 files that appear to have a 5.1 track, or even sometimes a DTS track (7.1 downsampled to 5.1) and none of them appear to have 5.1 in the drop down.

Ive tried WMV files and they do indeed give me the option of 5.1 on the dropdown.

So is there anyway of extracting the audio out of the x264 file, and reencode using ripbot and then convert using MKV2VOB.

I hope that makes sense

Extract audio manually from MKV using MKVextractGUI.exe (..Tools/mkvmerge)

Ive found the main file but I cant find the other files it asks for.

Have you got a link to a direct download please.

I have used DVDFabDecryptor as well and it makes no difference, audio is stall out of sync.

Don't mean to bloat the thread with empty posts, but I just wanted to say that this is a VERY nice program! Elegance is underrated these days ;)

[wiggo123]

I give up, is there anyway i can find out the specs of a file i want to convert and send you the log.

Maybe then you can give me a clue where im going wrong.

I converted a sample, with no audio, then extracted the audio of the sample ans muxed together then converted via MKV2VOB.

The PS3 accepts it as a data disc, it starts to play, but there is no picture and the sound stutters.

Not sure if you are after information for a file, such as video bitrate, audio bitrate, well if you are then download GSpot (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/)

[wiggo123]

Thanks for the reply.

1080p.HDDVD.x264

The above are the main specs for the file i want to convert. If anyone knows precisely what i need to do for the conversion so it will play on the PS3, i would really appreciate it.

Just tried this program and it won't process my avs file, which is --

DirectShowSource("M:\HD_EncodeTesting\movie.EVO",fps=23.976,audio=false)
converttoyv12()


Any hints to why not? It starts but ends instantly.

The above avs file plays in VDub no problem.

Every time i try to open a video file or a AVS file, i get the message above, although i can watch the video in media player classic. Any ideas of what is happening?
My version of ripbot264 is 1.7, I can't mange to download the 1.8 version, because the links posted are broken or the host only haves 1.7version!

Make sure you have latest FFDshow builds (rev1760+) , Haali Media Splitter and AviSynth 2.5.

I posted this in the StaxRip forum but got no reply, thought someone here might be able to help:


"I make digital television recordings using a HDHomeRun and GBPVR. I use the TS mux in GBPVR. My goal is to compress certain shows using X264 from the 5-8 GB original files to a more manageable 1-2 GB. For some reason I can make backups of shows from CBS, Fox, ABC but not from NBC or PBS. When I try to make the backups of the NBC shows, I get about 15 minutes of a 1hr show that seems to skip around. Any idea what this could be? Below are links to a 10s clip from a CBS show (works fine) and a NBC show (doesn't work).

CBS Show:

I noticed a difference when the files get loaded. Any ideas what this problem could be or how I could fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated."



The above problem is when I use StaxRip. When I try to use RipBot, the file will convert in its entire form but the sound will be out of sync. Any ideas what this issue could be?

Sorry I should have said that using the TS Packet Editor does not help. Some of the files have errors and some don't. When I trim the ones that do have errors I still get the same results. Any other ideas?

[Atak_Snajpera]

You can always manually set delay value in gui and later check it in preview if it's correct.

I loaded the latest ffdshow (1763) but still no go. I do not have audio so could that be why it terminates instantly??

[Atak_Snajpera]

What is your input file (avi ,divx ,mkv ...) ?

Do you mean source file?

thanks for the new version :D

Will you be able to send me a sample? It would be a lot easier for me.

Atak...without going into a long story I started messing around with my psp which I owned (but never used much) since it was first released. When I found out you could convert a movie and put it on a memory stick , my quest into the rabbit hole began....which brings me to Megui and Ripbot264...I'm just a newb and over a 3rd of my pc's screen is filled with different shorcuts to ripping and converting programs I've tried but didn't give me what I was looking for ( though when DVDfab converted something right , it looked great.) I think that most of my understanding has come from my feeble attempts at Megui and using Ripbot264 ..Great program...I use your psp profile and I'm currently trying to convert "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" I was wondering if you could suggest any tweaks to the profile that could make this movie look any better. I'm more into picture quality than saving space. I tried rdo at 7 but it only took alot longer to convert with no noticeable increase in picture quality. I can imagine with all the shifting between light and dark and animation and live action make this one of the harder movies to make look right on a psp but any suggestions would be most appreciated.

So know you know why RDO 6 (and UMH) is used instead.

No I can't. This is maximum what PSP supports.

There is no way to avoid ghosting. Blame Sony for terrible LCD response time.

[undead.elvis]

Thanks for the reply...I've just done "Signs" and I increased the Kbps and the results were that it only came out darker...? I love the psp (and my PS3) so until they have a psp with an oled screen (which I hope comes sooner than later) I'm sticking with it and Ripbot . I still want to learn Megui and possible VFW though. Thanks again... this saved me a lot of testing.

[deets]

you can use the brightness increase tip to reduce ghosting, sadly its far from ideal but does work.

nice to see the new AQ version is added in this!

[deets]

also why is the priority now set to low? i have to manually go change it every time on both passes :P could it not be added as a drop down like megui so we can set it and leave it?

not that i like complaining (even a little bit) about my fav video app :D

[Atak_Snajpera]

Some people were complaining...

Why do you change priority? It won't increase encoding speed. Unless you have other tasks running in background :)

[deets]

just want my encodes to get priority over other tasks that run in low mode :)

thanks for all the updates :D

Hi Atak, I am currently trying to convert The Ten Commandments on to my psp and it the movie uses 2 disks (part 1, intermission, then part 2 on another disk) I ripped both disk's main movie vobs and they are listed as VTS_01_1.vob and VTS_02_1.vob is it possible to join them with Ripbot264 or do I need to use a vob joiner or use dvd decrypter in another way or even dvd shrink...It's no big deal to join them but if I can then I might try joining some of the trilogy movies.(like star wars or Lord of the Rings) . Any suggestions?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Just select both files.

[brvalente]

Are the subtitles hardsubed to video or are just added to container?

[weaver4]

I know that I have complained about this before but I wanted to take one more shot at it.

Using single pass with a quantizer of 21 your files are much, much bigger than your competitors; like megui, automkv, staxrip and such. I have tried to make the quantizer larger to reduce the filesize but when the filesizes are equal the quality of your output is much lower than the others. I did a movie last night and MeGui was 675k and yours outputs was 1172K; both had the same framerate (24fps) and the same audio bitrate. Both movies appeared to have the same quality.

[buzzqw]

@weaver4

AQ... AQ... AQ.. remember

BHH

[deets]

also, ripbot264 uses CRF and not constant quantizer

edit: i just tested a 15 min clip using CRF 22 in megui and x264 and the results were only 300kb out, which might be AQ :) not conclusive by any means, but try with CRF and not constant quantizer in megui and see how that goes

[weaver4]

@weaver4

You asked me to up the quantizer and tell you what I thought, so I did.

I would like an option to turn off AQ; if possible.

[Atak_Snajpera]

RipBot now uses new AQ algorithm (Dark's) . Sometimes you will get even smaller files than without AQ and believe me quality is alot better! Check this thread http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=132760

I was using CRF at least the command line says "-crf 21".

Hello guys !

I'm trying to convert one mkv file (x264 720p) with ripbot for my PS3 but I don't manage it...

I add a new job with the file, and when I press the start button, the job is immediatly indicated as *DONE* but nothing append in reality.
I really don't understand where is the problem...
It is the same when I try with a simple avi file !

Thanks in advance for your replies !

hmm weird. ill do some longer tests and see what difference i get, the 15 mins video was just the same with megui as ripbot

got the latest ffdshow installed?

[tyee]

Now I'm confused again!

I thought I could have Ripbot load an avs file, yes/no?

I load this avs file called "megui-720p.avs" --

DirectShowSource("M:\HD_EncodeTesting\movie\HVDVD_TS\testing\FEATURE_1.EVO",fps=23.976,audio=false)

crop( 0, 128, 0, -136)

Lanczos4Resize(1280,544) # Lanczos4 (Sharp)
Undot() # Minimal Noise
AddBorders(0,88,0,88)
Trim(114247,0)
ConvertToYV12()

It then loads OK. I then press the "properties" button and see that Ripbot has made a new avs file --

#MT


#VideoSource
video=DirectShowSource("M:\HD_EncodeTesting\movie\HVDVD_TS\testing\megui-720p.avs",audio=false)
video=ConvertToYV12(video)

#Deinterlace



#Decimate



#Crop



#Resize



#Colors



#Subtitles



#AudioSource



#DownMixToStereo



#Tempo



#Delay



#Normalize



#AudioDub



#Triming



#ColorSpace
video=ConvertToRGB(video)
return video

So how can 2 avs files be executing at the same time?

Can this be causing my instant termination when I start to encode, just like the above poster??


When I press the "preview script" button it does load in MPC ok.


Update - For the first time I added an audio source for the encoding and it starts to work. I asked this in one of my above posts but I guess it was missed. So it looks like an audio source must be entered or instant termination, yes??


Where is the file being encoded stored as encoding is happening? It is not in the destination directory I selected in the gui!

[LaPointe]

got the latest ffdshow installed?
yes, the latest from x264.nl

[Atak_Snajpera]

In user temp directory. Try to find RipBot264tmp folder.

Update - For the first time I added an audio source for the encoding and it starts to work

I need you to do small test. Add your script and do not add audio. Click Done and find folder mentioned above. Open in notepad job1_EncodeVideoPass1.cmd and add pause. Save and execute file. If encoding stops make a screenshot. I'll have to know what kind of error message you get.
