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

[mmmmdonut]

Based off your avs error, I can only assume source is VC-1 therefor you need to have WMP11 loaded on older systems.

[Happysin]

Hmm, ok. i'll try some of the workarounds I see online for installing WMP11 on Server 2003 and try again! :)

I've been noticing an artifact occasionally surfacing from my encodes. Any reason why this is happening?

Thanks for the replies guys..
@TheAncientEvil
RipBot-Folder -> Tools -> tsmuxer -> tsMuxerGUI.exe
1. click on "add" and ADD the finished h264+AAC-file wich RipBot generated
2. click on "add" and ADD the AC3-Track
3. Select the Format on the "Output" and click on "Start Muxing"
What output format do you use? TS then convert to MP4 with a different tool?

I just do multichannel AAC and let aTV mix it as prologic for my receiver to split. Keeps things nice and simple. This is what I have been doing, which is normally fine. Not bad by any means, especially for comedies/dramas. But for action and sci-fi flicks, it would be nice to have discrete channels.

Also, what does everyone use to insert forced subtitles? I would prefer to use something like SupTitle as it renders it into the image vs having to OCR it. But as of so far, I haven't been able to make it work ( video renders with no subtitles). This is my modified job avs script if someone can point me in the right direction... As a note, I tried moving the subtitles section before the resize section without any effect.

@TheAncientEvil - Ripbot will burn subtitles onto film for you. Just demux them, and select the sup or sub file you want where you resize. If you want view them go to .\tools\bdsup2sub

If you want view them go to .\tools\bdsup2sub right you are, I was looking at the subtitles options in the main UI which didn't take a .SUP. Thanks for clueing me in on that.

@Peakr
1) Make sure your CPU and memory are 100% stable. Run this (http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/663563/LinX/en/LinX.7z) for couple hours. Select max memory.
2) Update ffdshow
3) download newer x264_x86.exe and x264_x64.exe from x264.nl

[Peakr]

Yeah I ran LinX and Prime95 for hours on end when I first overclocked this rig. Stable as a rock. I'll check again though and try the other things. Thanks for the input.

edit: By the way which version of ffdshow do you recommend. I've been using THIS (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/ffdshow) one for years now.

[davidsama]

I am using ffdshow 3402 and x264 1570

[illestdomer2005]

Yeah, I have noticed some pretty bad vertical patterning in some scenes. It seems as though either ffdshow or more than likely one of the RipBot tools (x264) is running into some issues.

I noticed some artifacts in a few of my encodes lately. After having uninstalled and reinstalled ffdshow. It seems after uninstalling again and updating to a newer version of ffdshow, the artifacts went away. I run a CoreI7, and it is stable as well so I know that isnt the problem. So try updating ffdshow and then re-encoding. Should fix it.

Did you check the source file that you used does the same? I see that your log show me an mkv hd movie. I've experience samething issue and it was the source movies. Check the time and compare with your source movie that you converted from.

[Mr. Monte]

I read that a new version of RipBOt will be released this month. I wanted to knw a few things please.

1. Can it be added or is there another program that can allow me to try different filters to achieve an outcome and then let me see side by side a comparision of the original source and the encoded/filtered output to see the change. I believe Lord Muldar had a GUI that did that...I just never went further in using it, since I've likened RipBot.

2. Is there a repository of Avisynth filters in a location with a description of their purpose. Then What would be the procedure to add them to Ripbot. Currently the one filter that is included in RipBot..causes an error whenever I try to use it.

Thanks

[Peakr]

Source is fine. I re-encoded movie after updating x264 and reinstalling ffdshow, Haali. However hate to watch the movie again just to look for glitches. Probably get my roomate to do it.

[Arbelisk]

version 3370

[htpconvert]

Thanks for an amazing tool!

I have 2 questions:

1. I seem to have consistent audio sync problems. I am converting Australian recorded tv in mpeg2 format into mp4 with ACC 128 audio. I always need to tweak the sync setting in ripbot +/- 100ms.

Is this normal? Or should it just be in sync? I never had this issue with the same files when converting to avi/xvid.

2. Would you ever consider adding the option for high bitrate AAC audio settings? I know you don't think it matters but I am quite the audiophile and on good speakers I can hear the compression. The input formats I use rarely have AC3 (and even then I want to downsample to 2.0 - not keep 5.1) so keeping that setting is not a solution. I would really like the option of 256-320 AAC audio. That would be perfect!

Anyway - thanks for all your hard work with this program!

Hi, i just wanted to say that your app is the best, i tried many of them but i love this one most.. easy to use and has good features..

One suggestion: Add ability to change aspect ratio :)

Thansk!

I had similar problem with ffmpeg-mt..

This was my problem:

http://j.imagehost.org/t/0223/mp4.jpg (http://j.imagehost.org/view/0223/mp4)

When i upload an encoded movie to youtube... at some points in the movie it would appear like gray.. and it lasts for a few seconds..

but when i would view the movie on my PC it would not show gray instead it would freeze completely on those seconds.

So i set to 1 like you show and it worked good.. but now i am using ffdshow 3397 (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=3f33c77c2cf9ce25ab1eab3e9fa335ca95e79d7d0540e1e1) from 2 May 2010 and libavcodec so its working with 8 threads.. i don't know the difference between ffmpeg-mt and libavcodec so it does not matter what i use then.. as long as the result is looking good..

[MKVCrazy]

Atak, is it possible to use FFT3DFilter with RipBot264? If so, what will be the sample syntax? I tried it but it didn't work :\

[Wishbringer]

FFT3DGPU is still used in RipBot when using filters for film or anime.

[cafevincent]

I wonder what encoder settings I should use for encoding 1080p DXVA compliant live action movie? I don't care about the time it takes to encode, just that it's DXVA compliant and max quality.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Use default 4.0 profile. Adjust SUBPIXEL REFINEMENT to 10. Adaptive B-Frames switch to 2.

[Dislikeyou]

I tried to encode from x264 Demo Blue-Ray and i noticed this pixel errors in the encoded mkv:

http://j.imagehost.org/t/0266/bad.jpg (http://j.imagehost.org/view/0266/bad)

The error appears for 1 second or 2.. when its switching from an frame to another a small part of the old frame is moved to the new..

Probably i am doing something wrong or it is ffdshow error again..

[MKVCrazy]

FFT3DGPU is still used in RipBot when using filters for film or anime.

I know but I disabled FFT3DGPU and edited the script, it says syntax error or something but the format isn't right. So I'm wondering how Atak will write a syntax for his RipBot264 to use FFT3DFilter.

Any idea Atak? :rolleyes:

[boofhead1234]

hey guys I have been using ripbot for a few months encoding .vob files from dvds to store on my hdd. been great so far.

however, now i am trying to re-encode some .mkv files (which were previously encoded from .vob with ripbot) to make them even smaller. The problem is, ripbot wont accept .mkv files as input.

AFAIK, i have the most up to date version of ripbot and x264, and have the required version of haali and avi splitter etc which ripbot needs to run.

When i try add a .mkv file, it first de-muxes the audio successfully, but says 'gathering information' and doesnt do anything. I left it for ages, and nothing happened.

Any ideas how to fix this? I have tried to get help from other forums, but they ran out of ideas.

[pacaveli211]

try the following:
delete temp dir / clear job list
reboot pc
uninstall FFDshow, then re-install it
maybe demux the streams and add them separately
threaten pc with hammer

[cafevincent]

Use default 4.0 profile. Adjust SUBPIXEL REFINEMENT to 10. Adaptive B-Frames switch to 2.

Thanks!

Would it be crazy to use FastFirstPassin2passMode=0 ?

Well, yes but within reason. My computer is a dual core ATOM so encoding one movie takes like maybe a week with fast 1st pass and the settings you recommended. A week is fine I guess because it doesn't interfere with the other computer usage and I don't have many videos to encode. I will start using slow 1st pass but I would appreciate a little info on how all these recommendations effect quality and speed so I know if it's worth it. Plus I'm interested in the technicalities.

I know about this fix.. the problem was that ffdshow selected ffmpeg-mt as default when i installed and i did not notice so now i installed again with libavcodec and its fine...

I will use libavcodec.. i don't know the difference between ffmpeg-mt anyway.. so i guess it does not matter..

A week? :) I've just finished encoding Avatar in less than 5h. Default level 4.0 , 1280x720 ,CRF22 and everything on my old Q6600@3Ghz ;) I think you should stick to defaults. 2-pass use only if you have logical reasons.

Please update Ripbot to detect the latest (3/27/2010) version of Haali Media Splitter. It doesn't detect it at all.

27/03/2010

* New Features:
o Added AC-3 in MP4 support
* Fixed items:
o Show error code in GDSMux when muxing is aborted
o Accept more AAC media types in the muxer
o Use correct timescales when processing MP4 edit lists
o Scan the folder for more segments only if the file references external segments

Has anyone got it to work

I take the .sub file from the temp job folder and select build in picture but when i play the movie its not there

Its no big deal because i know how to add it manually forthe Popcorn Hour but i am trying to do it for my sons Ipod.

I didnt have any issues. Grabbed the "forced" sup file, converted it to sub using bdsup2sub in the tools directory and was good to go. Bdsup2sub is java based so you need make sure you have jre loaded.

Just an FYI to anyone that helped, Installing WMP 11 on my server fixed the issue I was having, thanks!

Hmm, will the next update include support for OGM files? The other converter I'm trying is giving me audio sync problems. (Psp Video Converter) I'd much rather use this one, but if it's too much to ask I don't mind.
