How do you change the temp folder location? I could of sworn I had it on another drive with the last version.

Thanks

[wolfbane5]

You need to edit the .ini file.

@wolfbane5
it works on my pc without any problems!

1) if you have XP make sure you have Windows Media Player 11 installed!
2) Do not use latest haali media splitter because it does not see VC-1 streams inside .m2ts and .ts!!! Install previous version

Ok Atak, I fixed my problem.

Infos:
RipBot264 v1.15.0
Tried with Avisynth 2.5.8, 2.5.7

The above didn't work so I uninstalled them and try with 2.6.0 RC2 and it worked :)

All of these AviSynth versions should be able to open a file for which filters are installed, the error message says it's a filter issue which is more likely then a AviSynth issue. Whenever DirectShowSource fails you would first use GraphStudio to see which Graph dshow builds or don't build.

2) I bet that its Haali. If I'm not mistaken I have the latest version. I will revert back and hopefully that'll fix it. I guess it not recognizing VC-1 streams in .m2ts and .ts is a bug?

[gr1mmj0w]

any ideas on the subtitle problem I am having?
Atak_Snajpera?

[Wishbringer]

I was experienced the same problem on Windows 7. Did you are with Windows 7 operating system?

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

I don't think it's a problem with avs2avi.
Maybe it's only a nonexistent sanity-checking:
Ripbot tries to load a not available profile and hangs till it gets that profile (never).
I don't blame Atak for that. It was my fault to change ini and then delete profile. Atak can't imagine all the stupidity of users and try to prevent.

[simonb1975uk]

Hi Atak, loving Ripbot, it does everything I ask of it but there's one small problem I hope you can help me with. I use an RDP connection from Windows XP Pro to my home PC which is Win 7 Pro to set off encodes while I am at work. The options I choose are crop (automatically), resize (SD-PAL), deinterlace using TFF -> 25fps, and denoise using the anime option (old Transformers DVDs). However when I click the ok button to finish a message pops up saying 'Unexpected error occurred' then in the box it says the following line by line:

File:
Line: 216
Error Code: D3DERR_INVALIDCALL(0x8876086c)
Calling: Creating Device
Do you want to debug the application?

I realise that this is not what most people do and the answer will probably be don't use RDP and only run RipBot locally but just wanted to let you know.

First of all thanks Atak Snajpera for this great util. I'm glad I found it some time ago!

I would like to ask for help relating to ripbot:

1-When I create a queue of jobs, in the 8th job and next ones, the audio box source in the Encoding settings shows "NO AUDIO", while the previous 7 jobs have no problem, showing the source audio that ripbot demuxed from the original video file. That problem creates a limitation of 7 possible jobs in queue, I guess it is a very easy problem to solve from any part of my software pack or from the ripbot code.

EDIT: it is not about number of jobs, it happens just in two videos. Strange because they are all part of a serie of videos from the same source, a digital photo camera Canon Ixus 85, same settings always: 640x480 with audio in PCM uncompressed @ 44100 Hz. Don't know why selecting these two .avis in ripbot are showed as no source audio, while other videos from the serie have been compressed with no problem. Virtualdub shows audio track with no problem.

2-Is there any way of doing a White Balance correction from within the ripbot software (I believe it is not possible) or any of the tools installed to work with ripbot? If I should use a new tool I would be glad to know what is the easiest way for doing this common editing in camcorder recordings

Thank you in advance.

Has anyone experienced longer encode times with version 1.15? I set a movie to encode last night that normally takes about 6-7 hours, still said 10 hours remaining after running for about 8 hours. I used the 4.0 Bluray profile, reduce from 1080p to 720p, crf 20. This wasn't the only encode with the new version that has taken significantly longer.

[magmo]

Hi Atak_Snajpera

Thanks for the latest version 1.15, it work very nice and seem faster than previous versions. Excellent Work!

It seems really hit or miss, but I think it has to do with a variety of factors (noise, resolution, file size output, etc.). The cleaner a video file, the easier it is, I think, for x264 to do its job. If there's a lot of noise in my videos, it always seems like it takes longer to convert. I always do 2-pass though so I don't have much experience with CC.

[illestdomer2005]

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



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

I am not talking about your TV or your blu-ray player. Your BD can also play DVDs which are in 4:3. What I am talking about is AVCHD. I have never tried to created a 4:3 movie in here because everything I use for this program is some version of widescreen. All I am telling you is that even if you try to crop out the letterboxing like you would normally do for an MKV, it will cause the AVCHD not to play in your BD player.

So, is the problem that in RipBot it automatically stretches your 4:3 video to widescreen? My understanding is that any video file was just placed into the 16:9 frame (pillarboxes and/or letterbox).

[illestdomer2005]

Anyone have any problems with the newer ffdshow builds? It looks like they all have this new DXVA hardware accelerator built in. So, I discovered that applying the acceleration to h264 and vc-1 will allow the media to play, but it is rendering (no pun intended) some weird results.

I just want it to be able to encode to full 1920x1080 while preserving the AR. ripbot will stretch 4:3 video rather than pillarboxing it.

and I understand how AVCHD / mkv / bluray players / etc work. mine will actually play cropped video, but it fucks up the AR n shit =P

Thanks for latest version. May have been mentioned already but...
Few regressions in 1.15.0
1. DGIndex log file for MPG files gets created in the source media location, and not in the RipBotTemp location like all other transient files
2. Language select on Audio reverts to Undetermined instead of remembering last setting.
3. Occassion missing " error in avs script - if you automatically crop, then set to resize required, then go back and manually set say right crop and forget to also do resize, you get this error on preview, and OK button is disabled

[Atak_Snajpera]

edit DGIndex.ini . Change Enable_Info_Log=0

2. Language select on Audio reverts to Undetermined instead of remembering last setting.
This is my design. If language was not specified in container then it is labeled as Undetermined.

3. Occassion missing " error in avs script - if you automatically crop, then set to resize required, then go back and manually set say right crop and forget to also do resize, you get this error on preview, and OK button is disabled

DXVA works only in NV12 color mode. AviSynth does not support that mode. YV12 is similar but not the same.

@Atak_Snajpera,

Now FFDShow is supporting bitstreaming of HD audio via ATi 5xxx, etc, it opens up the possibility of bitstreaming TrueHD and DTS-HD from mkv (as before we just had Arcsoft TMT3/PDVD9 plus relevant audio card, and their support for mkv is crap!).

Are you willing to introduce the option to allow a direct copy of HD audio to MKV?

MKVMerge, Haali, and Matroska Splitter all now support TrueHD/DTS-HD so it's doable from that perspective! Currently i'm encoding vid only with RipBot, then muxing with the HD audio to mkv via mkvmerge, however would be cool to be able to miss the extra steps and do all within RipBot!

Thanks

I'm using RipBot264 to do my first backup of one of my Blu-Rays. I'm planning on streaming the backup to my PS3 for viewing and possibly on occasion burning the movie onto a DL DVD (until BDs get cheaper). My first 'test' movie is Ratatouille. A couple quick questions to fellow RipBot users:

1) There wasn't one m2ts file that stood out as the largest, so I select the 00000 file. Ripbot popped a window up that seemed to indicate to pieced together the entire move as it indicated 1: Chapters, 31 Chapters. Question: Is it going to rip EVERYTHING of the disc or did it just piece together the main movie? If everything, is there not an easy way then to rip the main movie when it isn't all in one large 20GB m2ts file? Note that one thing I DO want is to try to preserve the audio quality as best as possible.

2) I've been reading and reading about differences between MKV and M2TS containers and am still not clear. I see RipBot offers both (assuming AVCHD is option that creates M2TS?) Considering first and foremost I'm streaming to PS3 (when I backup I'm transcoding to 720P to save space), but also may want to burn a disc, should I use MKV or AVCHD option inRipBot?

Thanks in advance for throwing me a bone on this.

[tormento]

I have found a strange interaction between NVTools and RipBot.

I am converting some .mts video, using an avs script to deinterlace and read the format. The avs file goes in the RipBot.

If I use the dgmultidecodenv dll, avs2avi crashes. If I use dgdecodenv.dll+cuvidsrv, everything goes ok and ripbot can make its work.

Any idea?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Ask Neuron2 why avs2avi crashes.

In the NVTools thread they ask me to ask you! :confused:

P.S: Could be possible to import an external AC3 file for the MP4 format encoding and leave it as it is? In the pulldown only AAC is listed.

[Wishbringer]

I'm planning on streaming the backup to my PS3 for viewing and possibly on occasion burning the movie onto a DL DVD...
...
should I use MKV or AVCHD option inRipBot?

ATM most Standalone BD-Player can play AVCHD but not MKV.
PS3 can't play MKV on it's own, on Disc you can't play it. While streaming, you need a streaming server, which converts container-format on the fly. A "normal" DLNA-Server provided by some NAS isn't sufficent for streaming MKV.

So I would go for AVCHD (M2TS).

You could convert to MP4 too (PS3 supports MP4, some Standalones can play MP4 container too - but not all, for streaming MP4 to PS3 a normal DLNA-Server is sufficent).
But often MP4 container-support is only 32bit (4GB max filesize)

Is it going to rip EVERYTHING of the disc or did it just piece together the main movie?

RipBot doesn't rip at all. For Ripping you need AnyDVD HD or similar.
RipBot reads out playlists, chooses largest playlist (can be a bunch of m2ts files) assuming this is the main movie, reads it out and splits it to HDD as audio file and mkv video file.

when I backup I'm transcoding to 720P to save space), but also may want to burn a disc

If you convert to DVD-DL you often don't need to convert to 720p.
I reencoded several 2 hour movies to AVCHD DVD-DL while keeping original audio and still got Quants around 18-20...

Well my first attempt to backup Ratatouille didn't work. Too bad you have to wait all that time while it demuxes to then see the exception. There is an MKV file in the temp directory with all the video and it plays - but not audio! There is a huge WAV file too, but I can't play it for some reason.

Could the exception have to do with I selected the RAW PCM audio track as I'm under the impression the PS3 can play LPCM audio (not 100% sure it can be streamed though) Wow the .wav file is over 3GB! Guess that's PCM for you?

Thanks for the tips, I think I will go with m2ts which is the AVCHD option in RipBot I assume (if I can get it to work.)

I'm running on Vista 64-bit and have lots of other software installed (StaxRip, MakeMKV, latest FFDShow, etc.) Trying to rip straight from the BD - I'm guessing either the problem is selection RAW PCM audio track, and/or trying to rip straight from the BD (with AnyDVD running of course), and/or issues with latest FFDshow? Help!

Access Violation (I don't see much 'debug' info in either avs file.) I also get the same access violation line 2 if I try to open the MKV file RipBot created in the temp directory.

I was glad to find a 64-bit ffdshow, but see RipBot requires 32-bit. To be honest I'm not sure how much of a performance benefit I'd see if RipBot was 64-bit? Any ideas?

Also, what does the FLAC checkbox do? I'm guessing converts the audio track to FLAC instead of WAV? If I'm going to stream to PS3 and want to preserve the audio quality as best as possible, what settings should I use if source is PCM and if source is True-HD or DTS-HD?

[nurbs]

The 64bit version of ffdshow is probably slower than the 32bit version. There is lots of assembly code that has to be ported by hand to 64bit and I don't think that has been done yet.

[consultant]

I noticed there is no pass-thru option for the audio when I select AVCHD but there is for MKV. Considering I'm ripping the PCM audio track from an m2ts file off the BD and want to transcode it back to a m2ts file but just with video transcoded to 720p, it seems odd I would have to transcode the audio to AC3? Is there anyway around this.

Of course I just started the transcode using MKV for now, figuring their must be a way to convert it to m2ts easily later if needed, but seeing it is going to take about 4.5hrs (estimate at 7% done), if the MKV doesn't play the PCM audio correctly streamed to my PS3, I won't be a happy camper. (crossing fingers) Worse case can I just demux the MKV, transcode the audio to AC3 and remux? (I'll need help if I have to do that.)

Can anyone confirm what the FLAC checkbox does and advantages/when to use it?

[Atak_Snajpera]

FLAC = Free Lossless Audio Compression

[consultant]

I know what FLAC is. I'm just wondering, if I'm transcoding the audio to AC3 or just MUXing the PCM track, what difference does it make in RipBot between if the Flac checkbox is checked or not? In other words why is it there - what does it do, why would you want to check the checkbox?

[Atak_Snajpera]

In other words why is it there - what does it do, why would you want to check the checkbox?
FLAC is available only for lossless source (DTS-MA , TrueHD , PCM). FLAC has higher compression and can be muxed into .mkv container. If FLAC is not checked than you get decompressed .wav. I did not add ability to mux .wav into .mkv because it does not make sense. If you want lossless audio you must use FLAC.

[consultant]

Glad I checked the box!! Anyone compare AC3 640kbit/s to FLAC? I know I am aiming to preserve audio quality, but only to the extent the filesize isn't increased by a huge amount. Looking at the first demux I tried where I didn't check the box, the WAV file was over 3GB since the source was PCM. The FLAC file is only 1.2GB. Hurray. I think I saw another user that said they could successfully stream MKV with FLAC audio to PS3. I hope so.

This is probably going to seem like a dumb question, especially to the program author, but just want to confirm, if on the transcode I select to just MUX the audio but selected FLAC on the Demux, the audio in the MKV will be FLAC'd PCM right? It won't uncompress the FLAC when it muxes the MKV?

[Atak_Snajpera]

FLAC is NEVER decompressed to .wav.
