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

[archaeo]

I have version 3133 installed and is working very well.
With newer versions of ffdshow have had problems with other programs.

when I loaded ripbot (with ffdshow 3133 already in place), it gave me an error that said at least version 3300 had to be installed. So I uninstalled 3133, and installed 3342.

still getting error:
cannot create file X:\bluray\hurtlocker\hurt_locker_NA\BDMV\STREAM\:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\bluray_structure_getinfo.cmd".\xxx" the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

Thanks! I was converting to .mp4 and did not have the Copy Stream option. I am see that option in AVCHD and am going to try to convert a movie using those settings. So far everything looks beautiful, just need to get the soundtrack right.

mp4 container can only hold AAC audio.

@archaeo why is there just a : before temp? If you modified the ini file make sure your paths are correct.

[rocket71]

Ok, when I utilized the AVCHD setting and Copy Stream option all the audio channels are in the correct place. What is wrong with my settings that when I do a .mp4 file the audio channels are all switched up? (ie..center channel in left rear). I want to utilize the .mp4 or .mkv containers instead of AVCHD but I want the audio correct. I appreciate everyones help so far. Thanks, B

[mmmmdonut]

Cant say I've had my channels out of order ( I use mp4 container all time) so not sure whats going on with your setup/encode. I assume your receiver is configured properly, ie you've done a pink noise test on each channel? Also is your test file a standard 6 channel video or you working with something that has like 3 or 4 channel audio?

[Atak_Snajpera]

@archaeo
do you have similar problem with avi, mkv , mp4 ?

@rocket71
What kind of source do you have? mp4, mkv, vob ,....
When you convert file to mp4 do you select 2.0 AAC audio or 5.1 AAC?
You must send me untouched source. Otherwise I won't be able to help.

@archaeo

At work now, will check later today when I return...

[archaeo]

OK, I caught a few minutes at lunch...

So, with an mkv file:
When I click the add button and go to browse for an .mkv file, and select - I don't get anything - no error message, no file loaded. The program doesn't appear to be loading the files in either case. I just get an error when trying to load the m2ts.

I also tried another m2ts file (small, < 300Mb), and this time I got the same error message as before, but it did go into the 'select streams' window, but while there it was stuck on "please wait, analyzing..." for at least five minutes before I closed it. It never loaded that file either.

Hi Everyone

2 things

#1 - There seems to be a bug with RipBot when converting multiple movies/episodes to CQ 18 and setting the output video size to 720p. The first file works perfectly but the 2nd one in line sends the bitrate through the roof, resulting in a flickering green coloured video.

#2 - I often made the mistake of forgetting to permanently burn the non-english speaking subtitles into the frames when converting some of my movies. Is there any way to quickly merge these external subtitle files with the video permanently without running through a full re-encode? Almost like a CQ 0 (Zero), so don't touch the frame, just merge the subtitle track where required.

Thanks

it must be some decoding issue. Reinstall all required components. Use latest ffshow. Also if you have 1.15.1 use this http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1387495#post1387495

You can mux them using mmg.exe (I assume that you are encoding to mkv)

The source is .m2ts. When I convert it to .mp4 I am using 5.1 CT AAC-LC 256.

Here is an another attempt at splitting up a file for you to look at...I put the original in DGSplit and selected one of the 100mb segments to upload. I see it has a _13 after the file extension. I don't know how else to split it if this isn't correct. If this still isn't correct, can you point me in the direction on how to use dgsplit correctly to get you the file upload.

Also, I checked my surround setup as someone suggested and it is correct. It is only my ripbot bluray converts that are doing this. Thanks, B

[Atak_Snajpera]

Well I would need sample of .m2ts.

a burn in? no. a selectable subtitle track, yes (use mkvmerge as Atak said)

When I muted all channels in ffdshow except center I heard only voice. When I muted center channel voice was switched off. Frankly everything seems to be ok.

With the 3351 version of the ffdshow problem I had is gone.
Everything working.:)

Hi Atak,

I can encode at constant quality mode with the value of the quantizer to 16 without problems, although not part of the range of RipBot?

yeah, I've tried to do the same thing with AVCHD's using the forced track option. I don't know if it drops after I remux with tsmuxer, or if it just doesn't work =\

[dbone1026]

Which NMT? The forced subs I put into my mkvs with MKVMerge show up automatically with my PCH

[soneca]

I know, Atak answered that post.

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Wow6432Node \ GNU \ ffdshow
revision = 9999

or

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ GNU \ ffdshow
revision = 9999 "

But with this new version of ffdshow, everything is ok.

Thanks!:)

This is just an example:) The same with bitrate. You can enter whatever you want. For me everything below 18 smells like placebo.

[soneca]

I've done some tests and depending on the video, I thought there was a significant improvement in the details, especially in some scenes (more closely), those most difficult to encode.:)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Do you always watch movies frame by frame with your nose in front of display? If I was so obsessed with quality I wouldn't re-encode at all.

Not much:D, but I like to try and make comparisons!:cool:

[banoviciminer]

This is very nice and easy-to-use piece of software... the only thing I mind is that there's no Bosnian language in language list and subtitle language list... I mean, there are some Native American languages and also African tribes languages, but no Bosnian... I really hope that next version will be supplemented...

:thanks:

Clearly something is wrong though, I get strong output on the left rear channel with every encode except AVCHD. AVCHD sounds awesome but not MP4. I do not think my surround system is at fault because BluRay, DVD, and everythign else works fine.

I have fired up an older computer and did a fresh install of Ripbot and all the needed programs to see if I can get a good encode from it. If that works then I know it is my settings on my primary computer. It should be done tonight some time.

[gohamstergo]

@Atak: Feature Request:

In the 'Stream demuxing window' would it be possible for you to not have it automatically load the details for the first item in the list? If I want to select a different item, I have to sit through the first one loading, then select the second and wait for it to load.

Thanks. :)

I sent this also as a PM, but just in case you don't read them..

I have been using ripbot to convert HDDVD and BD to WTV files. I find it very useful, thank you for sharing.

I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option for WTV as the output file. It would be a simple matter of building the proper command line call to DVRMSToolbox and executing after the encoding stage. It would save an additional step to the conversion process.

What do you think?

thanks,
Rob

Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling all the required tools? Also I am not sure if ffdshow 3351 has issues or not would have to let some others chime in. I know I'm on 3342 and have experienced no issues.

[archaeo]

I've uninstalled and reinstalled ffdshow a number of times, and using different versions. I haven't reinstalled Haali at this point.
I was thinking (given the error message: no suitable decompressor) that it was just a setting I was not getting right in ffdshow, but I can't get it to work.


EDIT: uninstalled and reinstalled Haali and FFdshow - same result:

[rocket71]

Atak_Snajpera, I need to give you my apologies. You were right. I could not figure out what was wrong but after I did an encode with a different computer and got the same results I started thinking about what else it could be. I google just about every aspect of my setup in regards to what would cause improper channels. From my Zotac Motherboard to my Onkyo receiver and could not find anyone having the same issue till I finally googled "XBMC wrong channels". Bingo! The 9.11 Camelot release of XBox Media Center was the culprit. I did an updated to one of their more recent builds and it works beautifully now. Thanks for all your help.

One more question... :) When I do a conversion of a file it gets to the end and says ...muxing at the bottom and never stops muxing. I have to abort the process. Even though I abort it though everything works great. The only real issue with this situation is I can not do more than one Job because of the need to abort once it gets to this muxing stage. Thoughts?

correct! I guess that's why my moniker is 'archaeo'...:rolleyes:

I use MPC for playback, without issues - it plays anything I throw at it.

OK, I am assuming that I'll either need to upgrade to windows7 (I'll never go Vista, and that's why I still use XP) or, load wmp 11?
What's the decompressor that XP doesn't have? Can I install any other way?

[Atak_Snajpera]

in vista and 7 vc-1 decoder is installed by default. in xp you must manually install wmp11 (It contains vc-1 decoder) . frankly i would safe some money for 7 x64. xp is outdated. no .net,no udf,no decoders,no video preview,no dx11 and so on, and so on.(in default instalation)
