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

[happycase]

Does this program's default instalation package interact in a negative manner with the default instalation package of BD RB? It isn't going to break DVD RB or BD RB for me, is it?

Welcome to doom9 :)

Jeeb's build is the same as others except for the compilation tools, and r1184 brings the AutoVAQ feature. What do you mean by optimize ? :confused:

Actually, jeeb's r1184 32-bit build of x264 is broken, try using another r1184 build from this thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=130364).

Try removing the --mixed-refs, --weightb, --8x8dct, --no-psnr, --no-ssim and --progress options, those were removed by the x264 devs recently (http://git.videolan.org/gitweb.cgi?p=x264.git;a=commit;h=af2a4ecd7bcefc97c8aa83913c9a2980206f9cd0) since they are "enabled" by default, and have been replaced by their opposites (http://git.videolan.org/gitweb.cgi?p=x264.git;a=blobdiff;f=x264.c;h=e79f9acc2b3486adbc8b958b1df4f6044616215a;hp=9aafc357930dc3821cc45eec0480f2f6324e15ed;hb=af2a4ecd7bcefc97c8aa83913c9a2980206f9cd0;hpb=72534d466a6bd99b9cbf32c74e667bea608c6dee)).

[wakebrder]

Atak-

Feeling a little stupid here, so feel free to correct me.:confused:

If I'm choosing high res audio, (PCM, DTS-MA, or True HD) and check the FLAC box, Ripbot264 will:

1.) Convert the HR audio (not just the core) to Flac.

2.) Convert flac to Aften AC3 so it will be compatible with Dolby Digital receivers.

Will this converted 640 kps AC3 stream still contain all of the high res audio stream and not just the core?

Am I missing anything?

Thanks!

[Atak_Snajpera]

1) i'm not that stupid to convert core to flac :) only hd part is encoded to flac. that's why flac option for dts-ma is only available if arcsoft dts decoder is installed.

[wakebrder]

1) i'm not that stupid to convert core to flac :) only hd part is encoded to flac. that's why flac option for dts-ma is only available if arcsoft dts decoder is installed.

So the resulting Aften AC3 is the combination of the AC3 / DTS core + the "HD part" of the original True HD/DTS-MA?:confused:

Can you explain to me exactly what Ripbot does with the HD Audio when checking the flac box?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Read again previous post.

[mackworth]

So does anyone know what version of TMT I need to buy to decode DTSHD? Does only 2 work? Can you even buy that anymore?

The short answer is "no", it's ok, go ahead :)

Don't expect Atak to respond to such stupidity but i will be nice and help. Uninstall the K-lite pack, clean system then reboot.
Reinstall AviSynth , Haali Media Spliter , ffdshow then reboot
Ripbot will have 0 problems.

THANK YOU Atak for new version update :)

I did exactly that and still not working for me, it must be a problem with Windows 7. I uninstalled K-lite, AviSynth then I used CCleaner to get rid of any crap then I rebooted. Installed latest version of AviSynth, Haali media Spilter and ffdshow then reboot and test and still same error.

This is also a fresh install of Windows 7 build 7600 x64

I'm almost sure that you must have some ancient DirecshowSource.dll in AviSynth/Plugins directory or ancient AviSynth! Uninstall AviSynth and make sure you install latest version 2.58.

BTW I tested RipBot264 on Windows 7 7600 x64 and I had no problems at all! VC-1 , Mpeg2, AVC ...

Atak,

I've recently re-discovered your fantastic app and have used it successfully on several HD DVDs. However, on some discs RipBot is unable to list the correct playlist item. After clicking 'Add', I point the app to the largest .EVO in the HVDVD_TS directory. Once RipBot is done with analyzing the content, it lists maybe 1-3 items in the PLAYLIST pulldown, and none of them is the main movie one. Is this something you've bumped into? Would you happen to know how to solve this issue?

Also, RipBot has been so useful that I'd like to make a donation. Do you have a PayPal account?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Hi Atak,

What is the version of windows and version of your framework installed in your windows.

Im having trouble with Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 with trouble installing Microsoft Net FrameWokrd 3.5 SP1 with windows updated.

Nero 9.0 having trouble to installed too. Required microsoft net framework. I will install Windows Home Premium SP1 and check out the trouble.

Thanks.

Hello !

Recently I've upgraded to latest version and have some problems with converting wmv to mp4. Eveyrtime I get this message

DirectShowSource: I can't determine the frame rate
of this video, you must use "fps" parameter.
(X:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 1)

I'm running Windows 7 RC1 x64 with all available updates, on my older machine with xp everything works fine, somebody could tell me what am I missing here ?

PS
There is no codec packs in the system besides, those ripbot was asking

[humblehyper]

I have a problem, I selected 8125 as the video bitrate and after the encoding is done it gives me a lower bitrate like less than 300 kbps video so the end quality of the video is really poor. Am I doing something wrong here? I'm trying to convert my Transformers Blu-ray to MKV. I tried it a couple of times with different values like 7000 kbps, 10000 kbps and still the same result (poor quality and low bitrate) Thanks.

As if the program doesn't want to accept the bitrate selected before encoding. I even tried locking the file output to like 8GB and still doesn't do it. I'm confused :(

[Blackwalker]

hi, i have been away for about 1 month for work.
I have some questions, if someone is so nice to give me an answer :)

1 - Is RipBot now support TRUE-HD audio tracks??
2 - i see now that Tsmuxer now support TRUE-HD audio tracks, its true? i try it but when i try to play the m2ts file with windows media player
classic, it wont play the audio track...why? (with the original m2ts file on the movie the sounds play fine!!)
3 - i also give a try at the Clown_BD Gui (that'd support TRUE-HD audio tracks), same problem playing the m2ts file with windows media player
classic...

someone can give me some suggestions? thx a lot

[mmmmdonut]

Umm... where do I find that?

Check the temp directory/jobx.

Also there are a couple titles that RB dont work with on hd dvd as they call an introductory track outside the normal pevob or feature evo files. Couple titles I know off hand are frightners (has an intro by Peter Jackson) and Galixina (this title is poorly authored even evodemux dont even like it).

[colinhunt]

Check the temp directory/jobx.
Yup, found it, thanks.

The problem is that HD-DVD_title_info.txt is apparently created only after I've chosen which playlist item I want to encode. Since RipBot only shows me two items and neither is the one I want, HD-DVD_title_info.txt seems to be quite useless in debugging this issue. Same thing with HD-DVD_structure_info.txt: it lists only the same two items and none of the other ones.

The disc in question has 16 .EVO files and 16 .MAP files in the HVDVD_TS directory, along with one HVA00001.VTI file. While RipBot should show 16 (?) items in the playlist, it shows only two; both are very short video clips. The actual movie is "Feature.EVO".

Try using HDBrStreamExtractor (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=141829)and see if it makes life any easier for you. It is a simple GUI interface to eac3to that is often useful for simple extractions without recoding.

Atak_Snajpera

Just wanted to say:
Thank you for the great mediainfo gui which is bundled with ripbot264. it is much better than the default one.

[Pensive]

Thank you so much for your efforts, I am finding it very useful indeed.

I have a dream function which I think would be hugely useful to many people and really easy to implement for you:

The option to losslessly encapsulate the video stream into an MKV file (which it already does, behind the scenes!) the same way you can do with the audio stream, and transcode the audio format to AC3 if it is a DTS soundtrack (which it already does).

At the moment I start a transcode going then drag the .MKV and .AAC or DTS files from the temp folder before its finished, then try and manually mux them but I'm missing something as they tend to go out of sync.

I have a Samsung Media 2.0 telly which supports everything except DTS soundtracks....so this little addition would make RipBot the ONLY piece of software anyone would need...... =D Certainly me...

Thanks again, for a really great piece of software. IT makes EasyDivX (from yesteryear), Gordian Knot etc. look really clunky!:thanks::thanks::thanks:

Try using MakeMKV or a combo of tsMuxer/MKVMerge to do this. You can also use Clown_BD which will demux all the audio/video files, and then use MKVMerge to bring the ones you want back into an MKV.

[Blackwalker]

i'll answer by myself, looks like RipBot264 development is death or maybe the author is out for holidays (i hope)?

ho well, so i try yesterday Clown_BD Gui and looks really great and work perfectly also with true-hd track (work also with HD-Dvd)!!!!
the only things that dont do is the "resize" thats an important aspect of RipBot264!

hope to see the author soon online!
bye all

Normally, I would lock the size to 8 Gig then this will show you your video bitrate.

Thank you! It worked like a charm on the first problematic HD DVD; RipBot is now encoding the movie.

Just started using RipBot264 instead of MeGUI when I realised I didn't need the advanced functionality - great program!

So, uh... if I want to use 64-bit MPC-HC with 64-bit ffdshow, I can't use RipBot. Did I understand that correctly?

You can have 64 bit ffdshow and 32 bit ffdshow installed at the same time, just install them in different folders.

Dear Atak_Snajpera:

I have two questions about RipBot264 v1.14.3.

Question 1: The 2 latest version of Ripbot264 can not display Chinese(either traditional or simplified Chinese) file names appropriately. however, the older versions didn't have the same issue. I wish the next version will fix this problem. Thanks a lot. (Please check attachment 1a & 1b)

1b: http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/9476/94412829.jpg

Question 2: The two .ts files in the following two captures are exactly the same but with different file names. The first one has 6 audio channels but the second one has only 2 channels. (Please check attachment 2a & 2b)

http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/1296/clipd.th.jpg (http://img30.imageshack.us/i/clipd.jpg/)

Whiskey, I'm getting exactly the same problem on my Vista64 set-up. When trying to add a .264 file the new version just hangs. There seems to be plenty of HD activity as if it's actually crunching the information, but doesn't display 'Gathering Informations...' at the bottom nor does it eventually open the file (I've left it for 20 mins trying). No codecs installed except ffdshow. Funnily enough, it will open .m2v files...

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling ffdshow, Haali and Avisynth, plus upgraded to the latest SVN 3036 ffdhow tryout but nothing there either. I even cleaned out my Ripbot cutom profiles and overwrote my .ini for a complete clean slate, but still no dice. Went back v1.14.2 and everything worked fine again...

Anything else I could try? Cheers in advance to anybody for any pointers.

This is kinda off-topic; my apologies.

I'm about to build a new PC (Core i7 with 6GB of RAM) exclusively for RipBot and BD-RB usage, and was wondering whether Windows XP 32-bit is still the safest and most reliable choice. I was toying with the idea of installing Windows 7 64-bit, but won't install it if you guys tell me RipBot won't work on it properly. So how about it?

I personally am thinking about switching back to x32 on my HTPCs when I get the final W7. I have my HTPCs working fine with W7 RC x64 but I am getting tired of always having to take extra steps or check to make sure I am pulling the right x64 codecs, program compatibility, etc.... My desktop PC runs Vista x32 (where I do all my ripping/encoding/testing, etc...) without issue. Funny you mention this as in my last post on my blog I made a sidenote about seriously considering moving back to x32.

However, and I don't want to dissuade you from x64, but W7 x64 should work properly with Ripbot

[oldjoe911]

Excellent tool! One question: ripbot264 complaints that I don't have ffdshow rev xxxx installed, but since I am using ffdsdshow tryouts instead, I just disabled the warning in the ini and carried on. Will this have any complications?
I am very reluctant about installing the outdated ffdshow on top of the newer ffdshow tryouts.
