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

[Balthazar2k4]

I do have a question regarding audio normalization. I have never been able to get it to work. Anytime I set it to either 100% or 200% with AAC audio and go to start the encode RipBot just hangs. It never starts the encode. Is there a secret I am missing?

[Atak_Snajpera]

You must wait longer.

[Balthazar2k4]

You must wait longer.

Is that punishment for asking a stupid question previously? :rolleyes:

I had waited before, but I guess not long enough. Thanks, works brilliantly.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Normalize function must scan whole audio file in order to set maximum safe volume. It takes some time depending of movie duration and speed of your CPU.

[tormento]

There is a strange behaviour related to CoreAVC in conjunction to Ripbot: if I use hardware AVC decoding, after let's say 25% of 1st pass, the Ripbot window freeze and so does the tray icon. However, if you go with the mouse on the brown circle, it shows an increasing percentage and the encoding process goes on.

My system is Windows7 7100 RC x64, Nvidia 8600GTS and I7 920 OC to 3.33GHz. I know that FFDShow could be faster to decode AVC but having some CPU power left is useful..

It appears I was a little premature in my celebration. I just tried converting an mp4 with 6 channel aac to an iphone compatible mp4 with 2 channel aac with 200% normalize. When I start the encode Ripbot skips the audio and start encoding the video directly. The previous file I tried was an mkv with flac and that worked fine.

[deets]

any chance of supporting dga files and allowing the use of hardware de interlacing as megui currently does?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Are you talking about DG NV tools?

[deets]

Are you talking about DG NV tools?

yep, DGAVCDecNV from neuron2. I can use megui to create an avisynth and use nvidia hardware deinterlacing, which is great quality and may speed up the encoding process.

just wondered if that could be incorporated into ripbot in a similar fashion as im back to PSP encoding and want to convert my interlaced HD caps :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Main problem is I don't have NVidia card. BTW is there any trial version?

Why don't you use internal deinterlacer (Yadif). You won't see difference on PSP.

[deets]

Why don't you use internal deinterlacer (Yadif). You won't see difference on PSP.

ah yeah that is a problem :) i dont think there is a trial, although i cant be 100% sure. although i would gladly pay for your copy if you did ever want it.

oh yep i do use yadif and your right, the PSP is hardly going to show up any differences in quality. I do think it speeds things up considerably though as the de interlacing is all done on the GPU and frees up the CPU. When your converting the 2 hour 50fps england game from ITV HD, the extra 10fps makes a difference!

although i must confess i have not done full like for like testing in megui hardware vs ripbot software, maybe i should....

Here you go. I hope this sheds some light, because I am not too sure what an "AviStream Read Error" is.

[Atak_Snajpera]

This would be interesting :) In theory it should be faster but let's wait for real results. Make sure you use the same x264 settings.

[Hyrax]

Looking back I see that there is some discussion as to which version of FFDSHOW we should be using. Has this been resolved? I'm now using ffdshow_rev2992_20090609_clsid and wonder if that is a good idea.

I had already created a new trimmed encode, but thanks anyways (good to know for future use). I have sent you a link to the sample via PM.

[deets]

just did a quick test in megui, one using hardware deinterlacing and one using yadif. both used exactly the same script and settings, apart from deinterlacing method. a 10 min clip of the tennis. software was 34.88 FPS and hardware was 55.49 FPS...

will do ripbot specific tests and see if its that great as well, in theory should be :eek:

[deets]

yep just did some test using ripbot and it was very similar using yadif, around the mid 30FPS. cant load up my dga avs into ripbot to see how that fairs sadly

[Ga1j1n]

Atak,

Noticed a new Bug with v1.14.1, Sunshine BR UK would reach the end of the extraction process and delete the video.mkv, v1.13.3 completes fine.

Most likely related to the latest version of eac3to included, just FYI really

Thanks again for the awsome GUI

By the way for other Win7 users info this tool replaces the need to manually edit the registry to fix the VC1 FFDSHOW issue (I know you are already aware of this Atak)

[Luger9mm]

this is my first post as up to the last few days i have used your software w/o a problem since it was first developed. so thank you for taking your time to develop such an outstanding and stable piece of software. easy to use and VERY useful.

about a week ago, out of the blue, i began receiving the following error. tried reverting back to an older version of your software and even updated to v1.14.1 and it still occurs.

i googled the error, and searched this thread but could not find any answer. any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.

Hi Atak,

I have an trouble with version 1.14.1, 1.13.3 and 1.13.1. I have installed right now ffdshow clsid 2992, avisynth 2.5.8.

i convert an mkv HD 1080P, already 23.98, 1980x8xx and audio is out of sync on preview, and same when project is done. when i change "xx copy stream" for 256kbps the max available is the same. The time movie is 2 sec difference between the video and audio.

The mkv source is sync. Can you help me with this case please? Thanks for you time!

You need very fast cpu in order to have preview in sync for fullHD.
At the moment I can suggest this:
1) Install ffdshow 2975 and enable ffmpeg-mt (multithreaded decoder) decoder for h.264
2) Check audio sync in preview without modifing anything (Resize OFF!)
3) if delay is constant adjust manually audio delay in gui (last page)

yep just did some test using ripbot and it was very similar using yadif, around the mid 30FPS.
If think this is because yadif is single threaded. x264 probably waits longer for data. Is CPU utilization the same in both cases?

Noticed a new Bug with v1.14.1, Sunshine BR UK would reach the end of the extraction process and delete the video.mkv, v1.13.3 completes fine.
What does eac3to log say?

By the way for other Win7 users info this tool replaces the need to manually edit the registry to fix the VC1 FFDSHOW issue (I know you are already aware of this Atak)

since 1.14.0
Added: FFdshow will be automatically set as preffered directshow decoder for H.264/VC-1/MPEG-2 in Windows 7 (thanks clsid for help with SetACL)

@Luger9mm
I cannot see your screenshot so I can only suggest to reinstall AviSynth , FFDshow 2975 (recommended) and Haali Media Splitter.

[gohamstergo]

i think i know why 8ternity's audio is out of sync and the same is happening to me, when i render out a 23.98 movie and tell ripbot to not change the framerate, it is still converting to 29.97, hence to movie is playing too fast and the audio gets further and further out of sync..

also another question, what are the requirements for "xxCopy Stream" to appear? I've noticed it doesnt always show up since moving to 1.14.1.

[Atak_Snajpera]

also another question, what are the requirements for "xxCopy Stream" to appear? I've noticed it doesnt always show up since moving to 1.14.1.
Audio must be supported by container. mp4 allows only .aac. AVCHD - AC3 , DTS , LPCM (.wav). MKV supports alot more - OGG , AAC , AC3 and so on.

If think this is because yadif is single threaded. x264 probably waits longer for data. Is CPU utilization the same in both cases?
I was right. I took Canon hf100 footage , set yadif deintrlacer -> 50 fps , Size -> PSP , PSP profile
without AviSynth MT i had 33.42 fps , with MT i got 46.75 fps

[gohamstergo]

does mkv support uncompressed pcm?

and any idea why my 23.98 converts are being rendered at 29.97 even tho i have it set to ignore framerate? it used to work fine, i have no idea what changed.

[Atak_Snajpera]

You have to provide logs / eac3to log , screenshots and so on

[gohamstergo]

actually, i think i can fix the frame rate problem, but i still cant get a "TrueHD" audio track to allow xxCopy Stream on either mkv or mp4. is there a way to force it to do so?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Select FLAC and mkv

[leemjas]

I have run into a problem with doing a mkv to AVCHD conversion when using switchable subtitles with 14.1.

With version 13.3 I just add the addborders command in the case where a video is not 1280 x 720 or 1920 x 1080 and then I add the switchable subtitles normaly.

In the case of 14.1 when I add the "addborders" and then try to select subtitles it comes with a
message saying AVCHD should be 1280 x 720 even though I addressed that with the "addborders"

What am I doing wrong?

[Blackwalker]

hi atak
i have some problems converting any file HD ".mov" into the iPhone format!
The Video is super-perfect, the audio is perfect "But" the volume is lowwwwww!
how is possible??

thx!

updated:

this happen only when the source file (HD file ".mov") have both "2.0 AAC" and "5.1 AAC" audio!
If the source file have only the "2.0 AAC" profile, its fine!
strange!!!

[deets]

so im guessing dga incorporating is a hope too far as you dont have an nvidia card?

[gohamstergo]

Select FLAC and mkv

Now I'm getting "This stream uses too many audio channels" in VLC when I select flac. The audio is 7.1...

[Atak_Snajpera]

Now I'm getting "This stream uses too many audio channels" in VLC when I select flac. The audio is 7.1...
Get rid of VLC and download MPC-HC

[gohamstergo]

in ripbot, is the language selector only used to label the audio, as opposed to actually changing anything?

[Atak_Snajpera]

MPC-HC still plays no audio... it seems to know what kind of audio it is though..

problem solved! your screenshot got me well on my way. When i had ffdshow downmix to 5.1 it sounded strange so i downloaded the latest alpha version that has 7.1 decoding and left it on that. since i have a 7.1 sound card but no side speakers, the 5.1 comes out clean! thanks for keepin the noobs happy.

[B2K24]

@leemjas maybe the quoted messages will help with your problem

You did? So, RipBot still allows cropping? (other than 720p, 1080p are not supported in AVCHD). Frankly, when I saw the AVCHD option on images posted here, I didn't update any more, thinking you'd abandonned cropping.

AVCHD , Bluray do not allow cropped video. m2ts is just a container not format/structure

Anyway we can start adding some common questions to the first post?

For example, I am wondering the best way to remove the black bars and have my ripped bluerays to mkv fit my entire screen.

Do I do an autocrop, and then set HD-Full for the resolution?

I am pretty sure this has been answered before, but I couldn't find it.

[gohamstergo]

For example, I am wondering the best way to remove the black bars and have my ripped bluerays to mkv fit my entire screen.

You realize how much of the movie youre missing by chopping off the sides? Movies arent made in 16:9, clearly, so by chopping off the sides you are going to lose a lot of details.

[mackworth]

Your realize how much of the movie youre missing by chopping off the sides? Movies arent made in 16:9, clearly, so by chopping off the sides you are going to lose a lot of details.

Well, like when they broadcast a movie on HD, like on HBO HD and stuff, how are they formatting the movie.

[howzz]

There really needs to be a sub-forum for Ripbot.

I just tried the FLAC codec encoding option for ripping one of my blu-rays. and so far i got it to work and played. my questions is

1. does playing FLAC equipped MKV file through FFDshow require any tweaking on the FFDshow part? i currently only have "mixer" checked and set to 5 channels + LFE because that's what my speaker is setup to (5.1) and it's always been set to that way for playing all my other MKV files with ac3/dts streams that i created in the past. Some guy on this forum mentioned before something about down-mixing problems through playing FLAC in FFDshow, i just wanna double check that i am doing all the right thing.

as i understand FLAC is the closest as we can get to true source Lossless audio experience by far with Ripbot at least. it's not TrueHD or DTS-HD, but hey.... it's as good as it gets, i am not complaining too much.
