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

[stryker412]

I'm still having issues with x264_x86.exe crashing on VC1 titles.

[Atak_Snajpera]

. After it says analyzing there is no playlist no audio and no subs
Probably you did not decrypt your Blu-Ray movie.

[hbcsavage]

Probably you did not decrypt your Blu-Ray movie.

Thanks Atak that was the problem.:)

[hoju3508]

I like to use Clown_BD (GUI) as a pre-processor for RipBot264. You can pick and chose the subtitles that you want and it will extract them from the Blu-ray for you.

You don't have to grab them from the DVD.

also i was wondering how to get subtitles from Bluray. Right now i use SubRip to rip them from DVD. prefered output is .ass/.ssa or .srt

@ Atak_Snajpera
Encoding Job came out Picture Perfect. Thx again for all the Help.

Have a Request ... not sure if this is in the Form of adding Features, or Setting Changes I can make myself.

1. The Re-encoded AC3 File gets deleted after the encoding is complete. Anyway to prevent that? I'd like to keep it.

2. Opt not to have the .264 & .ac3 file packed into a Container after encoding is complete. First Thing I do is delete the MKV anyways, as I pack everything myself to be written for DVD-R-DL Burning.

3. Option to load AC3 and DTS Tracks into Ripbot for re-encoding Audio only. Eac3to GUI always crashes on me, and is of no use. Currently, I just load any VC-1/264 into Ripbot, and then manually load any other DTS/AC3 Audio File on my HDD of my Choice to be re-encoded.

4. Manual Editing/Scripting to allow Custom-Setting of final File Sizes of encoding Jobs, and have these locked in permanently for Selection. For Instance, the current 8150 Setting for Dual Layer Media is 7 MBs over Disk Capacity for MKVs. I reset to 8140 to end up with a 7.95GB File that barely fits a DL Disk. Sometimes I forget to re-set it back to 8140 when starting another Job a few Days later, and then I have to re-encode the Audio, trim off the Movie End Credits, etc. to get the File Size down so I can burn it.

I'm still having issues with x264_x86.exe crashing on VC1 titles.
They don't happen to come from a WMV Container by any Chance?

[stryker412]

They don't happen to come from a WMV Container by any Chance?

No these are straight m2ts files off the disc using AnyDVD HD. I'm going to try and upgrade FFDshow to see if that helps.

what i meant is that when ripping subtitles from i use SubRip. I do not use subs from dvds on Bluray rips

[Atak_Snajpera]

according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-R_DL#Recordable_DVD_capacity_comparison . DVD+DL = 8152 MB.

[Tycketoryde]

according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-R_DL#Recordable_DVD_capacity_comparison . DVD+DL = 8152 MB.
That may well be. Fact is, an encoding Setting of 8150 packed into MKV results in a File Size that is 7 MBs too big for a DL. Test it yourself.

Regardless, my Question was ... if I can somehow make custom Scripts for these Types of Settings for the Reasons I already mentioned above. I'm not sure if the MKV Container adds much Overhead, but if it does, it's under 1 MB.

Both the packed MKV, as well as both the .264 Video File + AC3 with a Setting of 8150, will read 7.96 MBs, 7MBs too much for a DL.

I don't remember what the exact Setting Numbers for DL were in RipBot264v1.14.2, but the resultant encoded File Size was always 7.94 GBs, thus it never came to my Attention until I upgraded to RipBot264v1.14.3 and also overwrote the x264_x64/86.exe at the same Time, per your Instructs a few Forum Pages back.

Hi Atak,

I have finally purchass an new AMD Phenom II X4 940 3.0ghz quad-cores, 8mb buffer processor. I have sell it my old athlon 64 x2 6400+. Im impatient to install new processor and make an conversion to see difference. :-) :rolleyes:

[Shkelton]

Hello Atak

Hoping you can point me in the right direction.

I have the latest ripbot, instealled AVisynth, ffdshow, haali media splitter and .Net Framework is the latest via windows update. AnyDVD HD. I get as far as it seeing the movie, I pick the chapters and audio file. It then tries to do something. After about 30 minutes a classic version of media player comes up with a blank screen. I have tried both directly from the Bluray and using AnyDVD to first rip to hard drive. Any thoughts? Using Vista 32 bit, c drive is main drive D drive is my storage drive.

[unimatrix0]

Hey Atak,

Could you consider adding support for 2 (or more) audio tracks? It would save me and possibly others lots of time. I hope you can make it, if not thanks anyway for the hard work and looking forward to the next update.

Thanks,
uni

I have asked this question as well as several others and the answer is always no.

[dirk362]

Fails in both both audio and video encoding if I don't alter (resize) the video ?

Input is a TS file from DVB-S and plays fine, passes TS Doctor etc - so no issues with source.

If I set to 2-pass, but don't resize this fails after a few seconds. Looking at logs and running the CMD files manually I see:-

audio errors with
Input file must be WAV PCM!

video errors with
avis [error]: unsupported input format (DIB )
x264 [error]: could not open input file 'd:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\job1.avs'

If I put in a video resize (which basically adds the following line to the AVS job file)
#Resize
Video=Spline36Resize(video,640,352).Sharpen(0.2)

Then both audio and video encode fine ? ! ?

Any clue as to why this would be the case as I'm totally confused ! Why can't I take the original input of 544x576 as broadcast ?
I've converted loads of TS files and have always changed them to 640x352, but this is an overhead in the encoding and it's not really needed. But without it, RipBot fails to work :( And I've also tried several files that have previously encoded fine so its not the source (unless how I create them has always been at fault)

i know i use an older version, but that the only one way i can get the project done and audio will be sync. The fonction Audio delai are in the main page and more usefull there and just make some modifications fast, and STRETCH are not working in 1.14.5 for audio delai correction work.

Thanks! ;)

i am haveing a problem with ripbot when the latest version of divx is installed with ffdshow. i starts a file to convert it says encoding then just stops and says its done. i think it may be because divx now includes a h.264 and AAC direct show filters. i need to figure out how to keep both ripbot264 divx bundle ffdshow and ac3 filter (divx requires this to decode AC3 audio) all working on my computer i could careless what is used to play the files as long as the correct encoders are encoding in the correct programs

i think it might be a problem with 1.14.3 because this problem started once i installed the new version. i went back to .1 then .2 and everything seems to be working and i can even use AC3filter for playback. Before just to get ripbot to work i couldnt even have divx, xvid, ac3filer installer otherwise it would give me an error saying couldnt encode the audio or would say its encoded the video in a few secods when it really sdidnt do anything it just started and stopped. So for right now im sticking with 1.14.1 because so far it works with everything and ffdshow 3013

[TheProfosist]

Also another comment i dislike how .3 defaults to the desktop for saving files previous versions of the program default to the temp directory which is what i use because file names and lengths can come in consideration because the desktop folder is pretty deep in

Same. Use "Subrip" and make UTF-8 SRTs for Bluray.

Rip the *.sup from the Bluray too, then load it into Subrip.

You can also download them from here ---> Subscene

Wonder why they'd even think of doing that, since the DVD Sub Time Line is rarely, if ever the same as the Bluray Subtitle Track, even if you can convert Formats.

Check it out for yourself. Go to Subscene.com, download a DVD SRT and use it on a Bluray Rip. It won't match. You could use an SRT Editor such as 'Jubler' to "re-sync", but your Offsets would often be in Terms of Minutes, not just a Second or 2. You could spend Days re-lining up 1,800 Dialog Items to get them reasonably well dead on. And now and then a 30 Second Segment will be found on the Bluray that was substituted for another Clip on the DVD with more Dialog Entries, and you'd be renumbering the Works top to Bottom.

You actually need to do it once to know what I am talking about.

I suggest to just download your Subs for either your DVD or BD-Rip and save yourself a few Years of your Life. You can crack open the SRT Sub in Notepad, copy the contents into MS Word, spell-check, and make corrections to your Subs. Finding better than 200 Errors is not out of the ordinary, but then making your own Subs if you can't spell either won't make it any easier.

right now what i do for DVDs (i have not fully ripped a Bluray yet as i want to finish all of my dvds first) is i rip the subs from the dvd using subrip to a .srt then eit the srt for errors using notepad and word.

so your saying its possible to use sub rip to rip the subs from blurays as well. i didnt know this was possible since it looks for vob's and ifo's which are dvd file formats

[Nemesis7]

Hey mate,

do you consider implementing anamorphic encoding?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Hey mate,

do you consider implementing anamorphic encoding?

Ripbot264 will automatically encode as anamorphic if resolution is 1440x1080 , 1280x1080 , 720x480 , 720x576 , 704x576 or 704x480

i think it may be because divx now includes a h.264 and AAC direct show filters. i need to figure out how to keep both ripbot264 divx bundle ffdshow and ac3 filter (divx requires this to decode AC3 audio) all working on my computer i could careless what is used to play the files as long as the correct encoders are encoding in the correct programs
I really don't understand why you need divx decoder??? Ffdshow HAS everything you need! Multithreaded avc decoder plus aac , ac3 , dts , TrueHd decoder ... and so on

Also another comment i dislike how .3 defaults to the desktop for saving files previous versions of the program default to the temp directory which is what i use because file names and lengths can come in consideration because the desktop folder is pretty deep in
I did this for my convenience. Besides did you even bother to see what options you have in ripbot264.ini?

[TheProfosist]

i need both the decoder and encoder in order to use divx converter thats also the main reason why i need ac3filter. Also ac3 filer i believe does a better hob with most audio especially when u output through SPDIF. but that just my opinion. previous versions or ripbot had no trouble with the other encoders/decoders being there. but 1.14.3 has tons of issues and will try to use divx even if its no the default which is on since .1 and .2 were fine with them.

Also i didnt even try to look through that ini i didnt know i should have been ill take a look when i have some time late this week

[Atak_Snajpera]

Why do you need that crapy divx converter????

[Nemesis7]

I didn't know that Atak, thanks for the reply. Any chance making the anamorphic part manual?
I'd like to encode movies for my iPhone from HD or Blu-ray source in one of these dimensions (depending on the aspect ratio of the source):

encoded -> output
640x480 -> 853x480
640x460 -> 853x460
640x360 -> 853x360

[stryker412]

Atak, question about movie with forced subtitles (ie. Iron Man). Does Ripbot know which subtitle track those subs are located in? How can I tell?

For instance, in Iron Man (Chapter 10) there is a very brief scene that has Arabic spoken. I want to make sure it's included (burned in the video) in my MKV. I missed it the first time I made it.

Hi stryker412

I have come across this issue in one of my encodes, the movie name slips my mind at the moment, a while back.

What I did was I checked all the subtitle*.srt files that RipBot264 dumped under the job* folder and opened them up with notepad and checked them one by one.

Luckily I only had 2 subtitle*.srt to check. You might want to check the smallest of them all, when I mean smallest I mean in kb, as normally that is the one that has the hard coded subs.

Please don't quote me on that one as this might not be the case, but it doesn't hurt to try first.

Regards

EDIT1: Once you find the subs your looking for, go under "Properties" in "Picture Properties" window and on the pull down menu, should be third option, in "Subtitles" choose "Build in picture" to include it as hard coded subs.

[kikker]

Atak, Any chance of allowing the user to mux multiple audio streams rather than just one as it stands now? :thanks:

Also, regarding subs, allowing an output of PGE as a stream within an MKV doesn't make much sense, as they aren't usable, are they? I'm not aware of a directshow filter to see and select for them in a directshow based player. Just wondering if they couldn't be converted to vobsub on the fly with something like BDsup2sub. Thanks...

[TheProfosist]

Why do you need that crapy divx converter????

its a very easy way to do mass conversions to divx which is what i prefer to use because it is compatible with more systems and runs better on older systems its just my preference.
and since ripbot .1 and .2 worked with it installed why shouldn't .3

I fixed this; I isntalled ripbot without uninstalling Klite meida pack (against Atak's recommendations). It results in the problem you describe.

Everything worked as long as I uninstalled K-lites FFDshow and installed the latest full one from the FFDshow site.

Try it - should get you working - I have ripbot and k-lite working on 3 separate pcs that way.

Hi

I have been using ripbot for almost a year now and love the program. Awesome job Atak!

I ran into a problem the other day, i loaded one of my movie (shinobi) and it loaded fine, it extracted the audio and video perfectly and i started the conversion with 2 pass 6000kbps and convert audio to ac3 640. It converted the movie in 4:28 hours but it didnt save the movie anywhere on my computer, i have plenty of hard drive space. So i figured i did something wrond an reloaded everything and it did the same thing. I tried to save it on another hard drive thinking that was maybe the problem but its still the same.

Has this happened to anyone before?

Thanks, I used TSmuxer to demux the subs and then added them via Ripbot. I'm converting the MKV over again. Can I just add a subtitle track to an existing mkv if I find later that I missed them or do I have to reconvert the m2ts?

Hi,

If you want to use multiples language, you have another software available to do it.

HDConvertToX was offering multiples languages. I use it to convert and keep 2 languages. A little bit more complicated to used vs. Ripbot264. You need to know some x264 commands for filters (Addborders) etc.

But ripbot264 is very easy to use and fast understanding. :thanks:

Hi stryker412

You can try using MKVtoolnix, but unfortunately they wont be hardcoded or you can re-encode again, it's up to you.

If there is another way of doing this someone might post a different approach on how to do it. You can try and see if it works for you.

Like I said before, it wont heart to try.

Veddy interesting. I didn't realize your app has implemented BDsup2sub! Fantastic! Thanks, man.

Also, I don't have a BD which has the main movie split into multiple M2TS's so I can't test, but because your app sees playlists, does it also automatically append the M2TS's together into one before it does its magic? Or, must that be done manually with Tsmuxer before loading the M2TS? Thanks!

Correct if I'm wrong, but if Ripbot sees two playlists that may be sufficiently long to constitute a full movie, both playlists will appear in the drop down menu so as to be able to select one or the other. Is this correct?

Hi Atak! EXCELLENT prog........, EXCEPT the gray on white fine text on your GUI is VERY difficult to read on my 1600x1200 CRT! Is there a way to alter the GUI to make it more readable?

Is there a way to add chapter marks to a Blu Ray output project? I didn't see one, but the project I just completed had 5 min chapters "built in". I have a txt file with the chapter marks I need. How do I "input" those numbers?

One more question! I'm taking a 720x480 analog VHS "capture" & I want to "crop" it from the existing 4x3 to 16x9 with NO distortion. My output will be 1.78:1, 1280x720 Blu Ray. I can fudge around with the crop settings until I think it looks pretty good in the preview window, but is there a "standard" set of numbers or a "calculation" I can apply to do the crop?

Thanks & have a nice day!

MKVMerge GUI - do it manually

Or wait..... by Blu Ray ouput project you mean you are going to make an AVCHD disk out of it? That would be done with an alternative program, dont know myself.

If you are making an MKV deliverable then my answer still stands.

Just crop with 60 values and then select SD-NTSC 720x480 from the list (blu-ray also supports SD resolutions)

[Tycketoryde]

so your saying its possible to use sub rip to rip the subs from blurays as well.
Haven't ripped any DVD Subs since 2000 for DivX 3.11 and Nandub SBC encoding, and only by Demand by Foreigners on Usenet. Since DVD-Rs dropped in Price almost in-line with CD-Rs, I went the Way of DVDshrink/DVDFab and only removed Subs I didn't want, and thus never had any need to bother with them until the Blue-ray Era came around.

I have only used Subrip for Blu-rays, never for DVDs.

After you have ripped your Blu-ray Movie Title with AnyDVD, DVDFab, etc. to your HDD, load the largest *.m2ts File into TSMuxer, "Checkmark" and "Demux" the PGC Stream, which is usually shown under the Video and Audio Track in the "Input" Tab in the "Tracks" Window. (Sometimes you may have to load the Blu-ray Movie Title's proper Playlist in order to assemble the "itty-bitty" Pieces of the Movie, but that is not all that common. Every 50th Movie or so you'll run into one of these, such as "Hancock" with Will Smith).

The demuxed PGC will have a *.sub Extension, and you load that into Subrip, run your OCR, make your Corrections, save as SRT. You can download SRT Subs for just about every Blu-ray Title out there, you'd be hard-pressed not to find one.

vob's and ifo's
For Blu-ray, you "usually" look for the largest M2TS of the Disk ripped to HDD and load that into TSmuxer. Run Windows "Search" to find it in the Disk Structure, its always in the same Folder BD to BD. It will extract a *.sub File which you can load into Subrip

i am haveing a problem with ripbot when the latest version of divx is installed with ffdshow.
The "K-Lite Codec Pack" will now request you uninstall/overwrite your Existing DivX Software, basically uninstalling it. Most People don't realize they are playing with the "Re-format" Fire when installing Codecs & Codec Packages on top of each other. I only have the "K-Lite Codec Pack" on my Computer, nothing else. And everything works perfect, nothing else needed, not even WMP 11.

In Fact, I always install the "Windows XP Performance Edition" which has all MS Media Crap ripped out of it down to the Bone, thus never any Conflicts. I bet better than half the People out there with "Ripbot" Issues have actually created a major Codec Mess that requires the "Clean Re-install" Axe.

DivX/XviD is now the Codec Collapse of Rome. I don't like the DivX-**** anyways, they turned something that used to be a free MS Hack into Profit.

runs better on older systems its just my preference.
In Fact x264 uses less Resources for Playback than DivX, even on older Systems. Just install the appropriate Codec Pack, and Way you go. DivX is History. Always encode where Future Technology will be.

it didnt save the movie anywhere on my computer
Look for the Container you encoded in, by Windows WildCard *.mkv/*.mp4 Search. If you saved your Movie to the \RipBot264temp Folder and then deleted Ripbot's Encoding Cue, you likely dumped it into the Recycle Bin. Check there too.

Atak, Any chance of allowing the user to mux multiple audio streams rather than just one as it stands now?
All it takes is just a little Math and know-how in packing Containers.

I only had 2 subtitle*.srt to check. You might want to check the smallest of them all, when I mean smallest I mean in kb, as normally that is the one that has the hard coded subs.
They are just UTF-8 Text Files, that's all. The smallest simply has the least Amount of Text, usually those SRTs in English, those without any Lines for the "Hearing Impaired", or was saved to the ANSI Format.

Can I just add a subtitle track to an existing mkv if I find later that I missed them
Yes. As long as the Sub is Compliant with Matroska Specs.

Hi Atak! EXCELLENT prog........, EXCEPT the gray on white fine text on your GUI is VERY difficult to read on my 1600x1200 CRT! Is there a way to alter the GUI to make it more readable?
Seconded !!!

I tested this by converting a few videos for my iPod Touch and I'm pretty impressed!

Simple interface, easy to use and it just works! The video quality is great as well.
Nice work man. :D
