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

[Bigmango]

how do i define the temp folder?

Edit the .ini file and enter the folder location there.

[hfmls]

thank you. :) is there any way of choosing the final job size and do only 1 pass?


btw:
i tried to use yam to split files in 2gb but only the 400 mb file works! wtf? :S any help?

[GlenC]

Hi,

Nice application :)

Would it be possible to implement a simple sort when selecting more than 1 file. When I add a bunch of vob files into your application, the last vob is always first in the list, which is very frustrating. The files are selected by selecting the first VTS_01_1.vob then shift clicking on the VTS_01_4.vob.

C:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_4.VOB,
C:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB,
C:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_2.VOB,
C:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_3.VOB

A simple sort would rectify this problem :)

Or even just selecting the first VOB, and the rest are loaded automatically?

Glen.

Sort files using explorer (click in name)

thank you. is there any way of choosing the final job size and do only 1 pass?

ABR will never be included due to very bad quality. So my answer is NO.

@Bigmango

I think 5.8% should be correct for every movie.

[GlenC]

Hi,

Files are in order in explorer, they are listed correctly from 1 through to 4, I click on 1, shift click on 4 and open.

RipBot still lists them in the wrong order, 4 first , then 123.

As an experiment, I listed them in reverse order in exporer, clicking on 4, then shift clicking on 1 (bottom of the list), then order is now

1,4,3,2

Cheers

Glen.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Rename them like this : 01.vob , 02.vob and so on

[hfmls]

not ABR CBR but with only 1 pass. :S it takes 2 hours first pass and 7 hours second , that's a lot no? :|

[Atak_Snajpera]

not ABR CBR

CBR does not exist in x264 codec

t takes 2 hours first pass and 7 hours second , that's a lot no? :|

I prefer quality over speed.

[hfmls]

yeah i know. :| me too, but in some cases i just prefer speed.is there a way to choose the other option with one pass only bt the final size?

[Bigmango]

If the formula gives you a 2440 bitrate for the 3h08 movie it's good with me :)

But then, there are also (only a few) 3h20 or + movies, how will this work out ? And thinking about it, the smaller the movies the bigger the unused space...

Or another idea; you could use a different (variable) percentage depending on the movies length (or frames), i.ex:

- 0 to 90 minutes 5%
- 90.1 to 120 min 5.4%
-120.1 min to 180 min 5.7%
-180.1 min to 240 min 6%
- ...

This way we lose the less quality for each movie lenghts. What do you think ?

PS: the above percentages are wild examples only (they have not been tested in anyway).

Overhead is constant (5.8%) :) I've just encoded 3min clip in 720p and I got expected filesize (m2ts+bluray) - 150.1 MB

if form2.m2ts.Checked=true then overhead:=1.058 else overhead:=1.001;

if (copyaudiostream=0) and (duration<>0) then tempcalc:=(size*1048576/overhead/duration*8-audiobitrate)/1000;
if (copyaudiostream=1) and (duration<>0) then tempcalc:=(size*1048576/overhead-AudioFileSize)/duration*8/1000;

calculatebitrate:=round(tempcalc);

If the formula gives you a 2440 bitrate for the 3h08 movie it's good with me
for 3h:08:00 I got 2494kbps

[Bigmango]

Ok :)


for 3h:08:00 I got 2494kbps

Hmmm... this is too much. 2440k will fit 4480Mb exactly (as I told you I have encoded the movie again today with increased x264 settings). 2494 will be bigger than the disc.

[GlenC]

Rename them like this : 01.vob , 02.vob and so on

I've found CTRL-A selects them all in the right order, a sort would have been nice tho ;)

Found a bug, and this appears on both XP and Vista. Occasionally when trying to add a new job, the ... button to add files does nothing, the button goes through the click animation, but the file dialog does not appear, this stop any further jobs being added to the application. Closing the New Job dialog and adding a new job does not make any difference.

Yes I know that. It seems to occur after indexing mpeg2 files (DGIndex). I haven't found solution yet :(

Hi Atak_Snajpera,:)

GREAT Application. THANKS!

Your program is smarter than the User .. meaning me ... I tried using it at work where your program sees there is needed applications (2 out of 3 needed) except the AviSynth ... but I know the application exist on my computer since I run other programs in "Portable" modes ... it is just that AviSynth might not be listed in Add/Remove program listing ...

Q1: Is there a way to bypass the above Criteria?

Q2: If I am converting Video that it has Soft Subtitles ... how can I tell the program to include the subtitles as hard in the .mpg converted file? Or can it be done.

Thanks,
G!:thanks:

[Atak_Snajpera]

Is there a way to bypass the above Criteria?
this key must exists in registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AviSynth

If I am converting Video that it has Soft Subtitles ... how can I tell the program to include the subtitles as hard in the .mpg converted file? Or can it be done.

You will have to extract subtitles manually

[killerhex]

does it have a zune profile

[weaver4]

does it have a zune profile

If you are using a zune you really want a *.wmv file not a *.mp4 file because the zune player actually plays a *.wmv file and transcodes a *.mp4 on the pc before it is synced.

You can look at AutoMKV, which has a zune profile or at CuCu Soft's product.

So no, no support for Zune here.

[lance79]

Can i use the resize function in this tool ? mkv 1280x544 to 720p or is it better to do with avisynth script... manual ??
The only thing is see in the changes when selected is Spline36Resize 1280,720 shouldnt that be Lanczos4Resize(1280,544).Addborders(0,88,0,88) to keep aspectratio?

Its a great tool, automatic resize would be handy.... :)

[Bigmango]

Can i use the resize function in this tool to load mkv directly and then resize a 1280x544 to 720p hd or is it better to do with avisynth script... manual ??

Its a great tool, automatic resize would be handy.... :)

The problem is that you need to add the black borders. If you resize with ripbot the movie will be stretched, so you lose the original aspect ratio. Avisynth is currently the best way to do this. But it would be nice if ripbot could do it :)

I think it could be easily implemented, ripbot already uses avisynth for its jobs; so it just needs to add the "Addborders" line to the script.

Atak is this something we might see in the future ?

[hekoheko]

Why isn't RipBot doing anything when I add MKV file? Just says, all done. :confused:

This happened to me it turned out to be i had set an invalid crop
after autocrop had failed to correctly crop my video :)

@ajak

that's really wierd. it's the second week that I try to encode smallville with ripbot 18.10 in m2ts.. and the two times the movie won't play on the PS3.. but play on the PC.

wierd.

Will you be able to send me a sample?

[survivant001]

no trouble.. here the sample http://www.mediafire.com/?f4ixmiutmvy

I just reencode it again, and the same problem with the sample

I choose .m2ts, audio ac3 448 profile 4.1.

rename the .m2ts -> .m2t to be able to stream it with tversity. (I have sample encoded by automkv .m2ts-> m2t and they work)

[Atak_Snajpera]

I've just checked your sample and it's working well on PS3. However I used DVD+RW instead of TVersity. In my personal beta I removed --min-keyint 1 --keyint 24 and increased --vbv-bufsize 9000 to 14000.

BTW. Your source has AC3 384kbps and you are transcoding to 448 kbps .Why???? Use Copy Stream !

[survivant001]

ok cool, I'll try removing theses setting for fun.

the reason I reencode the ac3.. is a habit...

[deacon crusher]

Trying to figure out if I'm skipping steps that are required.

I've used AnyDVD, and TsRemux to take a blu ray rip (spidey 3) and convert it to a single TS file with AC3 audio.

The TS plays fine on my PC. I'm trying to convert to a format that will play with an HD extender. I'd like to convert to an MKV with h264.

Looked like RipBot might do this for me, but my knowledge of this stuff is slight enough that I may be off base. When I try to load the TS file after ripbot thinks for a minute it says

" is not a valid floating point value. ????

I'm running this on Vista 64.

Thanks very much.

[gav1577]

@Atak_Snajpera will vc1 be supported in ripbot if or when you use
DGAVCDec? if not how will vc1 streams be served? :D

[Atak_Snajpera]

@Atak_Snajpera will vc1 be supported in ripbot if or when you use
DGAVCDec? if not how will vc1 streams be served?

DGAVCDec does not support VC1 ! I will use DGAVCDec when neuron adds support for audio demuxing via command line.

Try to put .vc1 into mkv. Make sure you set correct framerate. Most likely 23.976

[gav1577]

Ok thanks:)

[survivant001]

@Atak_Snajpera

I try to encode new movies witht the default value for keyint (250). I didn't get vbv buffer error in x264, but I get it in Scenarist.

I'll reencode the movie using keyint 24 and test again with scenarist.

PS. the movie play well on the ps3 anyway.

[g0nd0r]

hello,

when i select a m2ts file mpc opens and shows the following screen, in the temp dir, there is no info text file, just two avs files
any ideas? :)

and when i then close mpc the ripbot video source is emtpy again :(

[Atak_Snajpera]

Reinstall Haali Media Splitter http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/MatroskaSplitter.exe
Reinstall FFDShow http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173941&package_id=199416

[g0nd0r]

ok i will try that and then report here

already thx :>


/edit: i reinstalled ffdshow and matroskasplitter, but still the same message
i cant open m2ts files in mpc, will i have to install anything else?

By any chance are you using k-lite codec pack?

[g0nd0r]

no im not :>

[Atak_Snajpera]

Send me a sample...

[Ajax_Undone]

Here is the latest version of the Installer for ripbot new FFD and a pre-delete sequence so it removes all prior data leaving nothing behind in the directory... (ie miscellaneous files in miscellaneous folders) Lot of Comments about it leaving old files behind... (Oh yeah dont store your encodes in the install folder because they will be deleted on Uninstall)

@Atak_Snajpera

I have finish testing the new command line.

if I use the default keyint the movie won't mux in Scenarist. If I use keyint 24, it will.

that's all.. we can pass to something else now..

add subtitle in ripbot ?

[Atak_Snajpera]

if I use the default keyint the movie won't mux in Scenarist. If I use keyint 24, it will.

Honestly? Personally I don't care about Scenarist.

add subtitle in ripbot ?
Does TSmuxer support subtitles?

[Furiousflea]

Hi there, getting on really well with this great program now that I've got a core 2 quad Q6600...

I've noticed the x264 makes pretty good use of all 4 cores in the 2nd pass (as it should, but not so much in the first, again as it should)...

However its not making THAT good a use of it I think due to the things like cropping\resizing that are only single threaded. I know this can't be avoided due to them not actually being coded by you.

But, would it be possible to run 2 instances of ripbot264 to encode 2 files at the same time (affinity set for x264\bepipe etc to use 2 cores only, and other instance set to use other 2 cores only?)

I would do it on seperate hard drives and I have 4GB of ram so don't think there should be problem, any chance of integrating this into the program, or failing that a suggestion on how to force the affinity automatically, as setting it manually would have to be done after each pass\etc?

Thanks :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

I've noticed the x264 makes pretty good use of all 4 cores in the 2nd pass (as it should, but not so much in the first, again as it should)...

First pass uses less options therefore you don't have cpu usage at 100%. Friend of mine has Quad core @ 4.2 GHz and first pass uses about 2.4 core in first pass. Btw resizing and croping even on one core is extremely fast.

[Wishbringer]

I tried to recode some DVB-S2 (.ts) streams with RipBot to 4480MB m2ts for my PS3, but RB can't recognize content of stream.
So I converted stream first with tsremux to m2ts. Then RipBot recognized content, but after recode audio is out of sync (around 5 secs at end of film).
So next try: I demuxed that with tsremux created m2ts file with xport and remuxed it with tsmuxer back to m2ts. Now RipBot recoded that file and result wasn't out of sync anymore.

Seems xport has some nice demuxing routine, better than in tsremux one.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Did you cut ts like I said in first post??? xport cuts audio at keyframe therefore audio is always in sync!

[Wishbringer]

Stream starts at an I Frame. So cut is correct.
But couldn't check ts file for further errors, link to Transport Stream Packet Editor isn't valid any more.

I'm trying to work on a file that's starting as an m2ts part of spidey 3.

I've tried to load the original file, a tsremuxed m2ts and a tsremuxed ts and all three after some time end up with a copy of media player classic open saying

Audiodub: need an audio and a video track
"tempfile location\getinfo.avs, line 4

Any idea what I need to do to get this to move forward?

thanks

[lance79]

Ripbot264 only uses one core on my Intel Core(TM) 2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00Ghz on both passes.
Got something to do with hrd patched x264?
Cos megui let me encode with both cores, and output when used ps3 profile with tsmuxer works like a sharm on my ps3(muxed to blu-ray profile) with tsremux.

[survivant001]

@lance79

hello lance79. Why are you muxing in blu-ray profile after that ? You could just play the movie in the XMB. I thought AVCHD was used for the subtitle, + menus + chapters ...
