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

[Atak_Snajpera]

so like for PAL material that would be 50 frames per second?

Do you really think PSP supports 50 fps ? :)

[Furiousflea]

Do you really think PSP supports 50 fps ? :)

lol well no of course not ;)

...But the Xbox 360 might :)

...Did you understand what I was on about with all that, wouldn't blame you if you didn't, thanks for any insight.

Gotta say there's some people here earlier in the thread who're incredibly ungreatful. Don't listen to them, they'd be the same whatever it was.

[Furiousflea]

When I said double the frame rate, I meant by blending the fields across 2 frames, which is how the motion appears smooth on a TV when we watch the soap programs?

Is this not possible with progressive content, and thats why I asked about doing interlaced encoding. I noticed nero offers an option for this but it didn't really help much....

Im barking up the wrong tree aren't I?

[DJ_Price]

It now seems it is any video that won't work, not just videos with mp3 as I tried the video that had AC3 & it wouldn't open after it did first time around.

bug in 1.8.4

I open my movie (yep.. the famous one) it's in a mkv. The audio input was not populated.

it's a DTS audio track.

I had to extract the audio track from the mkv, and ripbot detect it correctly after that.

another thing. You should add in screen in the preview script.. Be able to edit the command line. Can be usefull for a specifiq encodage. (the profile screen doesn'T have advance feature.. like keyint, vbv...)

PS. My frist test with 1.8.4 with my movie. Output .ts, size = 4200. 2 pass. I'll check if I'm able to import the 264 into scenarist. To see if I will got my buffer underflows error. keep you inform

Audio stream must be labeled as track2
eg. Track1 : v_AVC
Track2 : a_AC3

BTW I will add m2ts muxing as soon as I get back home from work

[survivant001]

@Atak_Snajpera

shit you forgot the add pthreadGC2.dll in your package.. my encore this night didn't start because of that :(

[survivant001]

Audio stream must be labeled as track2
eg. Track1 : v_AVC
Track2 : a_AC3



that's mean that ripbot is not able to choose dts track by itself ?

can you use mediainfo and validate the audio track
Audio #0
Codec : DTS
Channel(s) : 6 channels
Sampling rate : 48 KHz
Language : English

if contains DTS || AC3 .... then you import it and add 5.1 audio sound options.

@ Atak_snajpera

I try ripbot264 1.8.4 to encore my movie.. my test is not completed.. but here what I got in the command prompt.

that's why I change to qp_min to 7 instead of the default. I didn't remember that this message was print in the command prompt. Maybe it has been added in a recent build.


the result output file is 2.5gigs instead for 4.2 (target size)

[Atak_Snajpera]

that's mean that ripbot is not able to choose dts track by itself ?

RipBot assumes that second track is audio not video. If you demux audio using mkvextract you need to specify which track you want to demux.

can you use mediainfo and validate the audio track
Audio #0
Codec : DTS
Channel(s) : 6 channels
Sampling rate : 48 KHz
Language : English

if contains DTS || AC3 .... then you import it and add 5.1 audio sound options.

I need to find out how to detect on which track is audio. In most cases Video is on first track and audio is on second.

shit you forgot the add pthreadGC2.dll in your package..
How come I have no problems without that .dll?

[survivant001]

How come I have no problems without that .dll?

it's a dll used by x264.

I use XP x64 clean install. I doesn't have the dll in my system32 so I need it in the x264 folder.

and for mediainfo.

they others programs does a "search" in each track.. if the track contains dts are ac3.. bingo it's a audio track.

[DJ_Price]

Any idea Atak_Snajpera?

Ok I've just found solution - mkvinfo.exe :)

Any idea Atak_Snajpera?

New version should be available by midnight.

[Bigmango]

Hey Atak, you have added the m2ts muxing, nice. Trying it right now :)

Could you make it output an AVCHD structure directly using tsremux ?

[DJ_Price]

Got the new version & I get this error now:-

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x207/djp2k8/01-2.png

[Atak_Snajpera]

Check to make sure you have the required codec
This is your answer :) Just like I fought. Missing audio codec.

The thing is though, I have the codec installed, well according to gspot I do :confused: The audio track is just mp3.

AviSynth doesn't lie :) What is your file extension .avi or .divx?

[DJ_Price]

AviSynth doesn't lie :) What is your file extension .avi or .divx?

It is avi.

EDIT: When trying now, avs2avi.exe crashes, then it shows the error window in the screenshot.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Try to remux avi to mkv. Use mmg.exe in /tools/mkvtoolnix

send me a sample

[Furiousflea]

Hmmm just need some clarification here...

I'm not sure what interlace setting to use when encoding various sources...

I have a DVD that is 29.97fps NTSC (anime movie - howls moving castle)...

When I encode without de-interlacing, the motion in it is smooth during pans, and scrolling of text for the credits, but there's a definate blurring in the image, when you pause you can sometimes see two versions of part of the image (as you would expect).

However when I do enable de-interlacing 29.97fps, the image looks a lot better quality but there is a horrible jitter during panning and the motion feels horrible and jumpy...

Which one should I go for?

Should I try "TDecimate" to bring it down to its original film frame rate? Would this look better on the PSP...

I've got a similar situation with Xbox 360, however that can't output a 23.98fps frame rate directly to the screen so using TDecimate would only make it worse I assume?

I'm also unsure what to do with PAL 25fps DVDs?

Is this jitter normal and unavoidable, or is there something I can do, am I chosing the wrong options?

Many thanks for any help :) Rob

Now you know Why I suggested you to de-interlace

However when I do enable de-interlacing 29.97fps, the image looks a lot better quality but there is a horrible jitter during panning and the motion feels horrible and jumpy...

Enable also TDecimate!

Small guide 29.97->23.976->25:
1) Enable Deinterlace
2) Enable TDecimate
3) Select Output Speed to 25
4) In A/V same length section change CUT to STRETCH.
(audio will be stretched to maintain A/V synchronization after step 3)

[Furiousflea]

If this works....

I could kiss you :)

[LCtheDJ]

I'm having a problem with v1.8.4 that I don't have with v1.8.3:

When I enter a location and filename for the output file, the last backslash is left out of the address.

Example:
I enter C:\path\filename.mp4

I get C:\pathfilename.mp4

[Furiousflea]

Righty I'm nearly there...

So, ALL DVD content as long as its not already at 23.976fps on the original DVD should be de-interlaced?

Film material if its from an NTSC DVD should be de-interlaced and then TDecimated -> 23.976?

NTSC material that I want to play on the Xbox 360 (to get rid of jitter) should be de-interlaced, TDecimated, then streched to 25fps (providing its film material, if its just video, then it should just be de-interlaced to 29.97fps)

ALL PAL DVDs should be de-interlaced? (film and video....don't think film is ever stored at 23.976fps on PAL DVDs?)

...Is that all correct?

Thanks

Yes I've discovered that problem and It's been already fixed in 1.8.5 I still need to make few tests before I release new version. Give me an hour :)

[Furiousflea]

Finally (honest)...Is there a program that can parse a vob file and determine if it truly is film\video material?

For example, I have some futurama DVDs that seem to run at a film frame rate but its hard to tell as its animation and naturally would look like that?

Deinterlace should be used ONLY if you see interlace in preview!

In next step you will have check if you have repeated frames. The best way to do that is to rewind to Credits. Then skip frames one by one using cursors on keyboard. If some frames are repeated use TDecimate.

TDecimate will give you 23.976. If XBOX360 does not support 23.976 then you apply method in my previous post. (Step 3 and 4)

ripbot 1.8.5

#1 - still doesn't find my dts track in my mkv.

Question. for the target size DVD5. I must choose 4480 in the Lock Size ? . (PS. I choose bluray structure output)

[DJ_Price]

Try to remux avi to mkv. Use mmg.exe in /tools/mkvtoolnix

send me a sample

Tried this & it's encoding now & no problems yet. What do you mean by sample?

[Ajax_Undone]

WOW so there isn't an installer??? No! well there is one now!!!

:rolleyes: Figured it could use one...

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KKOYS5HY
This exe dose not install FFMpeg, Haali splitter or AVIsynth yet... Give it time... These will be included soon...


Have fun...:devil:

Not fixed yet.

Yes. Select 4480. However Bitrate will be 6% lower due to m2ts overhead.

[foxace]

Hello is thank you for your work is it possible to have an option to change the temp directory because I do not have a lot of room on c:

i'm french Sorry my english is bad

[survivant001]

Yes. Select 4480. However Bitrate will be 6% lower due to m2ts overhead.

cool thanks. I mean, if I use the bitrate give by ripbot (contain already a 6% buffer), I can use if in a command line and it will works?

[darbid]

I am a noob / learner......I am letting ripbot do the demuxing of an AVC m2ts file. It seems to demux a whole heap of stuff into C drive....how can I change where it saves this stuff.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Should be ready by midnight :)

Awesome, :thanks:


There is a problem with the bitrate calculation when using m2ts as output. I have converted a 720p mkv (AVC + AC3) to m2ts with ripbot. I have set 4480 as output size. The resulting m2ts was 4512 (30Mb bigger than the 4482 DVD5), so I couldn't burn it on a DVD5 :(

Is this something you can correct ?

[Ajax_Undone]

Another day an updated executable...

Is there a shrink tool out there that will take 50GB discs and either strip it to just the movie or will shrink the entire disc to fit on a 25GB blu ray disc?

Does ripbot64 have that capability?

Uhhhh.....:stupid:

....Anyway, I've followed your advice on the de-interlacing\TDecimate stuff and it works perfectly for NTSC material of all kinda, and *most* PAL. Some encodes though, that definately need de-interlacing exhibit a regular stutter, very noticeable in some old anime (Perfect Blue), if you don't apply de-interlacing then there is no stutter but there's ghosting and softness to the image etc.

Is there a way around that, or is this due to bad mastering of the original DVD?

thanks for your help so far its been a great use to me.

[chewbie10]

Sorry Flo, thanks for being so helpful though. I've tried to read everything, but am quite confused. I just installed my blu ray writer today and ripped my first movie and now realized its bigger (43 GB) than my 25 GB blanks.

Atak_Snajpera i have CCCp codec pack and avisynth, when i try to encode .mkv to mp4 it says jobs done in 2 seconds.. every time, i tried to use a .avs with directshowsource(c:\movie.h264) and nothing too. any help please?

[Atak_Snajpera]

directshowsource(c:\movie.h264)

You can't import elementary stream in DirectShowSource!

Atak_Snajpera i have CCCp codec pack and avisynth, when i try to encode .mkv to mp4 it says jobs done in 2 seconds.

Once job is ready for encoding don't press START. Try to find this file job1_EncodeVideoPass1.cmd

open it in notepad and add pause at the bottom. Save and Execute it manually. What do you see now?

Is there a way around that, or is this due to bad mastering of the original DVD?
Without sample I can't say anything

[Alfeuss]

Not sure if this affects any1 else. I have noticed sometime, if u use dont resize the aspect ratio is incorrect on dvd source. it is correct if i use a resize filter. also if someone would like 2 downsize a hd720p to 480p (720x480) there is no option for this. thx.

[odditory]

Hi - I'm evaluating RipBot264. My problem is I have several hundred DVD's I want to transcode to x264 files. I have been using Mainconcept Reference because that GUI is great in terms of batching - I just drop the .IFO file of the titleset I want to encode, set my options, add it to the batch, done.

With RipBot264 it doesn't seem to let me open an .IFO file or a VIDEO_TS folder - instead I have to select a VOB file, and then have to wait for it to index and demux the audio stream - a step s too time consuming when we're talking having to do it for hundreds of VIDEO_TS folders.

Are there any workarounds for the issue I mention, or am I doing something wrong?

Other than that, looks good.

Thanks

[chuuey]

thanks for the new version!

[Atak_Snajpera]

also if someone would like 2 downsize a hd720p to 480p (720x480) there is no option for this. thx.

if someone would like size 720x480 then he/she would use custom. Simple!

New Link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7WE7HO89

Atak_Snajpera The BluRay folder was missing from this install... Just wondering was there any problems with it???

[Atak_Snajpera]

Atak_Snajpera The BluRay folder was missing from this install... Just wondering was there any problems with it???

Yes... unfortunately :( Look in change log. BluRay structure must be generated with m2ts file. That's why static structure does not work. There is still hope. I am waiting for support in TSRemux.

BTW. Wouldn't be easier if used mediafire.com istead of megaupload?
