HD is always 16:9 so why do you need 1.33 ?

He means so that 1.33:1 material is placed in a pillar box so the actual dimensions of the encoded video are 16:9 (pillar boxes down each side, maintaining OAR)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Why would you upscale footage to HD????

[b66pak]

Fixed: mpg files are again decoded by DGindex. Hanging was solved by using NicAudio as mp2 decoder instead of BassAudio

@ Atak_Snajpera what's wrong with .mp2 and BassAudio?
_

[Atak_Snajpera]

BassAudio sometimes was casing problems (AVS2AVI was hanging) . For some unknown reason I had also problems with FLAC files in Windows 7. AVS2AVI was hanging again. However I had no problems on Vista. I discovered that this was all cased by BassAudio decoder. For FLAC files I decided to use madFLAC decoder and for mp2 nicAudio and now everything works well.

hi!


Sorry fot the question, but i still have to understand how work the "2-pass" mode!
For example, if i have a 12GB movie file, and i want to use the "2-pass" mode, what is the correct value
that i have to put in the "kbps field" to have an output file size like the original??

The "kbps field" what mean?
how i can determine the correct values to use for different movie file size?


hope i dont make to many questions!! :D

(ps: i know what mean the "lock size" field :) )

any help plz? :)

thx all!!!!!!!!!!

KBPS (kilobytes per second) field is the output bitrate RipBot attempts to achieve after a 2-pass movie. For example, 1024 KBps yields 1MBps (1 megabyte per second of video).

To use the two-pass mode and keep the same file size, you can:

1) Use MediaInfo to determine the bitrate of your existing movie and specify that for the 2-pass bitrate. MediaRate would likely report your bitrate in MBps, so multiply that by ~1000 for your bitrate.

2) (Easier) Use the Lock Size feature and put in the original video file size (12GB=~12000MB). It will automatically set your 2-pass bitrate for you.

Hi Atak,

I've experiencing on Win 7 some crashed of avs2avi.exe many times with many version of ripbot264. I've made some test. I found a trouble with avs2avi.exe.

In Windows 7;
Find avs2avi.exe in Window Explorer;
Click "Properties";
In Tab "Compatibility";
Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"Choose "Windows XP, Service Pack 3"
Apply;
OK.

It's resolving my avs2avi.exe crashed when import movies file and during some conversion. I test it with Windows 7 x86 and x64 version.

Hope could this procedure resolve his trouble? He can try it, it's cost nothing.

That's not true, see "Wizard of Oz" or the original "Star Trek" series.

[mmmmdonut]

@stryker what exactly are you trying to accomplish? I've encoded all three seasons of star trek original series and wizard of oz and all encodes kept their oar and are pillar boxed during playback.

Hi Atak,

I Know i asked this question last year and couples of peoples seen that their asking if it is possible but im asking it again.

I've seen the windows "blu-Ray Single file" open and offer the availability to import x: ALL SUBTITLES...

My question is, did you know if you will can offer in the future the possiblity of having two languages for AVCHD contents?

Thank You,
:thanks:

Hi Atak,

ffdshow clsid rev3175 issued;That version of ffdshow (H.264/AVC) video setting all the time reset to empty value. Everytimes i import movie to ripbot264, ffdshow have clear the value. I need to configure every times in ffdshow to ffmpeg-mt. This is cause the error of directshow previously...


DirectShowSource: DirectShowSource: Graph refused to run.:
Can not allocate memory because no size has been defined.
(E: \ Temp \ RipBot264temp \ job2 \ getinfo.avs, line 2)


I have updated to rev3176, for now, its okay.

just for info.

[gr1mmj0w]

1 question, is it possible to add subtitles to a .mts file?

I'm playing around with some movies I own, when I rip them to avcHD, it makes a folder ( I assume all the contents are in there), I normally just take out the .mts file and stream that to my PS3 but some movies are all in English but have certain moments where another language is involved.

Has anyone found a solution besides burning the full movie subtitles onto the picture of the .mts file?

Yes. You can use tsMuxer + txMuxerGUI and add your subtitle. You need to know the delay.

[hoju3508]

How about only burning the "forced" subs?

[gr1mmj0w]

Yes. You can use tsMuxer + txMuxerGUI and add your subtitle. You need to know the delay.

I think I've tried that and could never get it right lol.

yeah this is what I mean but I guess it would go in line with what 8ternity says :(

[8ternity]

Mabe convert it with ripbot264 and add it to the project. did an mkv or m2ts is okay for you?

[gr1mmj0w]

I've always used ripbot to rip as AVCHD, and I just take out .mts file and stream that to the ps3 which is fine.

[illestdomer2005]

Simply stating that not all HD material is 16:9.

For AVCHD, it needs to all appear as 16:9. There are movies that are 2.35:1, and you can't crop them either. What's your point?

[Wishbringer]

Seems I found another reason for sticking at "gathering information":

I created a custom profile for AVCHD and made it default in Ripbot.ini
so far all went fine.
Then I divided that profile into two subprofiles for film and anime but left old default in ini with not more existend profile.

My next encodes allways stuck at "gathering information" till I changed ini entry to existend profile.

Try to move extracted RipBot folder to C:\RipBot for instance.
I had the same problem, and everything needed was installed and hadn't any codec packs installed. Problem was solved when RipBot was moved to main folder. It seems some programs that RipBot uses do not like large paths.

[MKVCrazy]

I tried moving it to C:\ and also Desktop. Didn't work :(

can't you read guys? It's clearly says avisynth error. send me 50 mb sample. you know where and how:)

[pacaveli211]

HD is always 16:9 so why do you need 1.33 ?

no it's not. for example the latest family guy (something something something dark side) is 1.33.

For AVCHD, it needs to all appear as 16:9. There are movies that are 2.35:1, and you can't crop them either. What's your point?

I think you got lost somewhere, the whole point is exactly that, that everything needs to be 16:9 (it actually doesn't, my bluray player will play 1440x1080 which is 1.33, but I have to change tv settings to make it not stretch to 16:9) and being able to add pillarboxes would allow you to make 1.33 into 16:9

[Atak_Snajpera]

That's not true, see "Wizard of Oz" or the original "Star Trek" series.

If something is not in 16:9 aspect ratio it means that it was created/recorded before HD era! So old Star Trek and Oz will not have HD details at all. They are just upscaled to HD. You better use SD resolutions (720x480).

[pacaveli211]

well even with going to a standard definition, I'd want to pillarbox it to 16:9 as to ensure the proper AR is displayed. rather than having it stretched to fit a 16:9 tv

[MKVCrazy]

@MKVCrazy @liudnux
can't you read guys? It's clearly says avisynth error. send me 50 mb sample. you know where and how:)

Oh, what may I do in order to fix this "Avisynth" error?

Ask fortune-teller or send me a sample as I requested ?

What are you talking about? SD does not need any stupid pilarboxes! Have you heard about anamorphic resolutions?

[MKVCrazy]

I feel uncomfortable posting a personal video on the internet :(. It's an AVI file I took with my digital camera. Is there any other option?

Film can hold more detail than even a 1080p HD camera can record. Thos "old" startrek episodes from 50 years ago can easily benefit from being encoded at 1080p (1.33:1 with pillar boxes)!!!

Just go check out releases like Casablanca from around the 50s on http://www.highdefdigest.com for proof :)

[Furiousflea]

He's talking about placing 1.33 material in a 1920x1080 frame, yet keeping the AR by encoding black bars on either side (as opposed to above and below for 2.35:1 material for example).

The actual resolution of the useful video in the frame is 1366x1080. (This is how 1.33:1 blurays are encoded)

[pacaveli211]

from my understanding anamorphic is for displaying widescreen material on a 4:3 tv (or a 16:9 tv too), but not for displaying 4:3 content on a widescreen tv
if I play 1.33 content on my bluray player or dvd player it will horizontally stretch the content to fit the 16:9 tv. if it's encoded with pillarbox it will display properly. I'm not sure how or if that can be done in standard resolution as 720x480 is 1.5 but it surely can be done in HD resolutions

[DOWNFALL]

I think you clearly just need to use the correct software for the job.
Load up after affects or what ever video editor you use, import your media, set the frame size to your hd output or what ever resolution you want, and position your source video in the middle and render it out to mp4.... Job done.

[pacaveli211]

I was assuming since ripbot264 already can letterbox 2.35/2.40 stuff that it wouldn't be too difficult to have it pillarbox 1.33 content.
and a lot of software is going to stretch the video to the resolution you specify rather than preserving the aspect ratio
furthermore mp4 is a shitty container. I'd like to keep some resemblance of a good audio track

[hoju3508]

yeah this is what I mean but I guess it would go in line with what 8ternity says :(

I use Clown_BD with the "Forced sub" selected. When it sees "forced" subs in the main subtitle, it will extract two files: the entire sup and a smaller sup with only the "forced" subs. You can then read that one into RipBot264.

[hoju3508]

Seems I found another reason for sticking at "gathering information":

I created a custom profile for AVCHD and made it default in Ripbot.ini

Then I divided that profile into two subprofiles for film and anime but left old default in ini with not more existend profile.

My next encodes allways stuck at "gathering information" till I changed ini entry to existend profile.

I think you might have a typo or some command that it doesn't like. Check your profiles or how you entered the profile in the .ini file. I do this all of the time without issues.

[gohamstergo]

Film can hold more detail than even a 1080p HD camera can record. Thus "old" startrek episodes from 50 years ago can easily benefit from being encoded at 1080p (1.33:1 with pillar boxes)!!!

Agreed! the old Star Trek episodes aren't upscaled, they are scans of the original film in High Definition, just not 16:9 AR.

crazy, now when I try to embed the subtitles to the picture I get this error.


http://i49.tinypic.com/2vshmww.jpg

So I decided to upgrade to the newer version and reinstall all the needed software and when I try to preview the subs I get this new error.

http://i48.tinypic.com/5d5q8i.jpg

any ideas?

[pacaveli211]

have you tried deleting the whole temp folder / all the jobs and then readding / tryin again?

[fantasmanegro]

maybe VSFilter is missing

[wolfbane5]

I got the same error as MKVCrazy after installing v1.15.0. I have the video track of Collateral Damage in a .ts. I'm not familiar with any program that can cut a 50 MB sample from it. Does anyone happen to know of any programs or can I just send you the MediaInfo?

[gr1mmj0w]

I've tried that with no success :(

Nope, it is still there. I verified the location.

edit: UPDATE:

seems if I do not use the bluray ripped subtitles, it works when trying to embed the subtitles.

If yes, try to modifiy the propertries compatibility of avs2avi.exe to compatibility of 'Windows XP Service Pack 3'.
Apply, and retry.

Lol seriously, yes, why? Don't know. lol. But i always try the update and always update ffdshow when new version available.

Just an example of ffdshow rev3175 i'm having troubles and now with rev3176 everything is fine including DTS audio tracks but i need to convert it to AC3 640 because the audio is out off sync when a 25fps converted into 23.976 and COPY AUDIO is selected.

It's why i use right Windows 7 x86 version with a fresh installation. i want to eliminate trouble. I have update everything (direct-X to the latest, graphic card driver, ffdshow version etc.).
