I wish I could but MKVToolnix recognizes .w64 as AVC ;)
Is there a possibility to add the option while batch importing to select "No Audio" or something so we can avoid dealing with the audio all together if we know there will be issues and/or don't want. Import would be much faster...I guess same for subs too.
Thoughts?

It doesn’t look like you demuxed the source file into separate video and audio files, since I see you are adding the mkv container into MKVMerge, unless you stripped out the audio from that mkv. In any case, can’t you convert that audio file into a basic pcm/wav file?

For my tests, what I did was to demux two source files into separate video and audio files (I used source files that contained ac3 and aac audio files). I then converted the ac3 and aac files into pcm/wav files, using LameXP, and then added the video stream and pcm/wav stream into MKVMerge to create the mkv files containing the pcm/wav streams. I then took those two mkv test files and put them into RipBot264 and get the [NO AUDIO] problem each time.

[slalom]

there is no specific reason for specific size, when ever I tried CQ even picking the same number there is always that uncertainly what size file I end up with, sometimes compression seems crazy good, but sometimes the file ends huge for no apparent reason.
You can use 1-pass with specific size

@Atak, regarding the subtitles

Can you add a field, MKVToolnix calls it "Track name" for a short description to enter, for example "commentary" or anything?

I've been having to mux it in myself after the encode since it can't handle all of the audio video tracks sometimes.

How hard would it be to get SSIM scores into the media info from the encoding log (automatically)?

Hi,
I'm having some trouble with the MDegrain2 - Plugin. Seems like avisynth can't find this plugin even the path is correct. Someone else facing this issue or know how to fix it?

Since no one else has responded. I'd try reinstalling your AVISynth (start with r1825MT before doing any of the newer versions) and then reinstall: Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015
You could also try running the AVISynth Script you get from the job in avspmod to see if it gives you any more information (but it might not).

Hi byteshare. Reinstalling VC (32/64 - bit) did the trick. Thanks a lot for your reply.

Atak,

Have just used the newest build with the extra servers (thanks again), for the first time, and I have a suggestion.

Would it be possible to show just one (1) DE Server icon in the Taskbar, with a small number (like the Ripbot icon shows how many jobs are queued), instead of an icon for each server, it just crowds the Taskbar a bit, when you have then all enabled.

Another thing I have noticed is that the auto shutdown isn't working on the other pc's that are processing.

I'm pretty sure I have everything enabled to do that, but the settings seemed to have changed a little, since the extra servers were introduced. (they don't appear in the .ini file, where the original 10 are.....) :stupid: :confused:

[Viper714]

It has to be something else because all devices are sitting at index 0. When it says "Failed to load OpenCL" it most likely mean that x264 was unable to load opencl.dll from your HDD/SDD.

Okay after messing around with OpenCL.dll files on the third machine (System and SysWOW64) and using the Microsoft link you provided. I could not get the OpenCL.dll unregistered to then re-register it per the link instructions. Gave me the same error unable to load. So I extracted a opencl.dll file from a backup that was two months old and copied it over. Tried to unregister it and it gave me another error "the module "openCL" was loaded but the entry-point DllUnregisterServer was not found". BTW I also updated the NvIdia Drivers on both Machines.

So I decided to try encoding and now Both Nvidia Machines are giving me this error. Mind you I only messed with the third machine. The AMD Machine is chugging along without an issue.

Source -> https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1640777#post1640777

It looks like x264 by default stores x264_lookahead.clbin file in current working directory. So in our Distributed Encoding case .clbin file should be written in \\Server-PC\RipBot264temp\Job1\Chunks

Of course this is totally unacceptable because multiple x264 processes try to write to the same file! In your case AMD and nVidia OpenCL compiler.

Please verify my theory and let me know where x264_lookahead.clbin file is stored on your main machine while using distributed encoding mode. I can't do it on my machine because my GPU just died and thanks to miners new decent ones (RX570) are too expensive for me right now.

[Viper714]

Please verify my theory and let me know where x264_lookahead.clbin file is stored on your main machine while using distributed encoding mode.

Okay I found that the file resides on the Main PC (Server-PC) in
c:\ripbot264v1.19.2.. Disregard the folder name as I am using ribbot264 v1.20.0 and haven't gotten around to rename the folder. I did a complete search and that is the only place I found it with a file date of 8/5/2017 11:02 AM which was 7 minutes ago and a file size id 953 KB.
Hope that helps

Add --opencl-bin %TEMP%\x264_lookahead.clbin to your encoding profile

This command should tell x264 encoder to create .clbin file locally on each PC working in DE mode.

[nekrosoft13]

I have a issue with distributed encoding on one PC.

From the Encoding Client I can start and stop the server, but it doesn't connect.
When I click ON on Client, the server gives me this message:

Encoding Started...

Encoding terminated.

And the Encoding status keeps changing from Idle to Encoding to Idle it just keeps blinking.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Something is wrong with shared folder. Check if you can manually open \\Your-Main-PC\Ripbot264temp folder from server's side.

[Shrekage]

any idea what "missing library" I need to add to this system? it's a hyper-v server 2012 system that I would like to "borrow" the spare cycles on to help do encodes. I can access the shared folder but it gets into the "encoding" "idle" "encoding"... loop with the error message attached.

There is an issue with mplayerc.exe. For some unknown reason It does not terminate when user closes window. RipBot264 will unfreeze if you manually kill mplayerc.exe.

I have had the same problem using Vegas + Frameserver since the auto-crop was updated(1.19.6).
I maintain version 1.19.5 for use with Vegas + Frameserver.

Auto-crop works fine in 1.20.0 with Vegas + Frameserver. I've just tested it.

[MAX9]

But still how to deal with anamorphic video? Change project settings in Vegas to 1920/1080 and PAR 1,0000 or resize in Ripbot or ? First option works, but my thought does is optimal?

Another question what color to use in Frameserver? Far as I know Vegas use RGB, right?


Killing mplayerc.exe works to me.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Personally I would leave everything in Vegas untouched (1440x1080). Set 1920x1080 in ripbot because scaling will be faster thanks to ResampleMT plugin. (multithreaded resampling)

[soneca]

Atak, I've just run a test and continue to freeze RipBot, even killing mplayerc.exe.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Atak, I've just run a test and continue to freeze RipBot, even killing mplayerc.exe.

It has to be some problem with frameserver plugin. To be honest I've experienced that issue with not closing mplayerc.exe on one HDV 1080i source once. However when I chose different file in Vegas for example AVC 1920x1080i and started frameserving everything went fine. Nevertheless auto-croping in 1.20.0 always works because I restored old method if new one fails.

Another question what color to use in Frameserver? Far as I know Vegas use RGB, right?
Use RGB24. Do not use conversion to YUY because it will only mess up colors. Frameserver is doing poor job there. Also another advice regarding interlaced footage. DO NOT USE BUILD-IN DEINTERLACING in VEGAS because it sucks! It is ultra primitive and ugly. For best quality activate QTGMC in ripbot264. (yes it will be slooow)

Many thanks for the info. At the moment I encode at 7 fps / sec, almost default settings only resize to 1920/1080 and don't deintelace. And at the momnet I'm not sure do I need to deinterlace but next job i will try QTGMC.

[Atak_Snajpera]

It depends if you are working with interlaced footage or not.

You wrote earlier
and I have anamorphic source (1440/1080; PAR 1,3333; 25i)

so I assumed that deinterlacing might be required

[MAX9]

Yeah yeah I indeed use interlaced material, but I'm not sure to deinterlace mandatory. I mean what is the problem if I leave it interlaced?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Yeah yeah I indeed use interlaced material, but I'm not sure to deinterlace mandatory. I mean what is the problem if I leave it interlaced?

I hope you are not encoding interlaced footage as progressive...

[MAX9]

No no, I don't think so. After all MediaInfo says interleaved, top field first.


Edit: Deinterlacing is super slow to me around 2 fps / sec. For this project I will not deinterlace.
Now I will try 2 pass mode, seems faster.
First try I make 1 pass mode and locked size (7300 kbps) 2 hours video encoded for 8 hours. Audio encode AC3 first in Vegas, cuz singpost is too slow in frameserver and then laod it in ripbot.

The mada***s for second then power goes off when encode was almost complete...

[soneca]

Hello Atak, I tested again using the same material and in version 1.19.5 does not freeze, the detection and the cut are much faster than in version 1.20.0.
I continued testing with version 1.20.0 and it worked. On the first test it did not work and on the second it worked. :confused:

I've just realized that resizing from 1440x1080 to 1920x1080 is not required because Ripbot automatically adds --sar 4:3 switch to command line for that anamorphic resolution. This flag tells decoder to stretch 1440x1080 to 1920x1080 on fly during decoding.

Summary
1) Do not resize in vegas nor in ripbot264 anamorphic 1440x1080 to 1920x1080. Less pixels to encode = faster encoding
2) Do not use 2-pass. Use Constant Quality mode (CRF20). Single pass is always faster than two passes. Besides you do not have to guess "optimal" bitrate for you video.
In Constant Quality mode encoder dynamically adjust bitrate needed for specific footage.

Ps. Writing "2 fps / sec" makes no sense because it means 2 frames per second per second.

OK, but the first thing I try is to encode in everything default and the final result is displayed 4:3. I even try to add --sar 4:3 in AviSynth menu, but show error or must be add to profile code?
I use 1 pass mode beacuse i need defined size of the file.
2 fps / sec I mean that is the speed it encode.

I've just checked. If resolution in ripbot264 is 1440x1080 --sar 4:3 is always added to commandline. You can verify that by looking in Job folder file Jobx_EncodeVideo1.cmd.
After encoding mediainfo should show Display Aspect Ratio: 16:9

2 fps / sec I mean that is the speed it encode.
You do not understand. fps means Frames Per Second. So your encoding speed is 2 Frames Per Second not 2 Frames Per Second Per Second. That additional /sec makes no sense.
It is like saying that my car's speed is 100 kph/h

Ugh I get it now, tottaly miss this. Sory for stupid mistake.



This is what I get:

And this is commands i get when i just add file from frameserver
--level 4.0 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --vbv-bufsize 25000 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --b-pyramid none --tff

When add manualy --sar 4:3, everything got fine. (just now I understood where it's place)


Ok I try to encode just one raw file and everything is like you say: automatically add --sar 4:3
but through frameserve something goes wrong

If resolution in ripbot264 is 1440x1080 --sar 4:3 is always added to commandline.
For other resolutions does that mean we need to make note and manually add it with MKVToolNix?
Guessing not for SAR 16:9

[Atak_Snajpera]

@MAX9
Yes, you are right frameserved .avi has wrong --sar value like you said. I will have to check what is happening under the hood.
I've also noticed that hanging is most likely cause by ResampleMT. I guess I will have to restore old method in next update.

For other resolutions does that mean we need to make note and manually add it with MKVToolNix?
Guessing not for SAR 16:9
No. Normal non anamorphic resolutions get --sar 1:1. (=no scaling during decoding). Only 1440x1080 gets --sar 4:3 (~1.3333)

[soneca]

Atak, in any future version could come back with the option(.ini) to minimize to the taskbar?
For the tray it is annoying to check the tempo of the encode unless the status was shown when the cursor is on top.

[Shrekage]

Is there any way to have the encoding client shut down the servers, without shutting down the client? I am running a client that is NOT encoding, and I wish that machine not to shut down, but have the servers shut down when encoding finished

Sorry, I don't think I was clear. I was implying for situations that are not 4:3, 1:1, 16:9, such as when you crop.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Croping does not change anything in this case. Still --sar 1:1 will be used.

You can choose the pcs that will shut down, and those who won't

[slalom]

@Atak

After one major update (can't remember which) when the main PC freezes, or restarts, generally everything unexpected happens

when I restart the program it doesn't see the finished chunks in temp folder to continue from that point, and restarts the job, massive waste of time

[LazyNcoder]

Hi,

Something weird is happening to me. Since the last update, if I choose in AviSynth to resize the content to HD-Ready, the "info.txt" file in the job directory will be deleted. and I'll get the following error:


---------------------------
Application Error
---------------------------
Exception EFOpenError in module EncodingClient.exe at 0002418E.

Cannot open file "E:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\info.txt". The system cannot find the file specified.


---------------------------
OK
---------------------------


If I change it back to no resize, the file will be created and everything is fine.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Most likely result of buggy ResampleMT plugin. Make sure that you have video=Spline36Resize() in your script instead of video=Spline36ResizeMT()

[Shrekage]

can you adjust the encoding client windows to show 16 rows instead of 14?

[Shrekage]

Is there any way to increase the CPU utilization of the encoding process when using the denoise option MDegrain (SLOW) seems like it is slow because it is not multi-threaded. (on that machine, even with DE enabled and all 16 encoders targeted to that machine, only about 60% utilization occurs...)

Add --opencl-bin %TEMP%\x264_lookahead.clbin to your encoding profile

http://i.cubeupload.com/6pASEP.png

This command should tell x264 encoder to create .clbin file locally on each PC working in DE mode.

Snajpera, sorry for the late response. Been traveling a lot. So when I place that command in the encoding settings:
http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo54/pcubillos/Issues/EncSettings.jpg
So when I start the encoding process all the server start and stop, start and stop, repeatedly. Here is the error that I get at the encoding server level/window:
http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo54/pcubillos/Issues/EncError.jpg

If I remove the command, everything works find except for the "OpenCL: unable to open clbin file for write" error as before.

Now on a different note, this OpenCL command or option is to force the encoder to use the graphic Processor as opposed to the CPU or is it for denoise only? Sorry for the noob question...

[Atak_Snajpera]

1) make sure that all your pcs use updated EncodingServer.exe (version 1.7.3)
2) remove --opencl-bin %TEMP\.... command from profile. Since last update this command is automatically added.

Now on a different note, this OpenCL command or option is to force the encoder to use the graphic Processor as opposed to the CPU or is it for denoise only? Sorry for the noob question...
lookahead task in x264 is calculated on GPU so this means more CPU cycles for other tasks.

[Viper714]

1) make sure that all your pcs use updated EncodingServer.exe (version 1.7.3)
So to verify what version I have, I right click and do properties on the file. Under details I show file version 1.7.2.0.
I ran the updater and it still shows the same version. In reviewing the updater log, that files was not replaced or included in the update.
Next I downloaded the latest version of ripbot264 from the first posting. I extracted the files and copied the "encoding server.exe" file over. Under details I show file version 1.7.1.0. ( that's not good).

Can you please confirm where I can download it? I think I may have missed something...

2) remove --opencl-bin %TEMP\.... command from profile. Since last update this command is automatically added.
Done!!

@ Viper714,

I recently checked my version the same why you have, and after the latest auto updates, I DO have v1.7.3.0 !!!

Maybe you could try downloading the .7z of 1.20.0 version of Ripbot, then run the auto update from that, and it should get ALL the updates since that build (that's what I recently did, seems to be working OK).

Cheers

[dvdboy]

Apologies if this has already been covered, I've tried searching the thread but haven't found any relevant posts.

I'm looking at AMD's Threadripper, and as I understand it, the likes of x264 / x265 won't fully use the CPU usage when running on a single 'job'.

Is it possible with Ripbot to 'distribute encode' a file on a single machine, so spawn 4 encoding jobs and each job in parallel encodes 25% of a file and stitches them back together? Is there a guide, or some documentation that someone can point me at?

Many Thanks

[howzz]

i apologize in advance. but i searched for the keyword "FFAudio Source: No Audio Track Found" and could not get and hits on this problem. Ripbot has always worked for me, but recently, not sure if it's some of the new releases, i am not getting this error message (see attachment), when i load a mkv movie for conversion. i am on the latest 1.20 version of ripbot.

my workflow video source is always H264, and audio input is always losless DTS-HD or TrueHD. it only started recently.

what do i do. i tried updating Haali, but i already have the latest version. help!:(

[Atak_Snajpera]

howzz you will have to send me some sample.

[jandor]

Hi, Atak
The RipBot264 is excellent, as always.
And I really enjoyed the latest version.
But I've felt the lack of an activation button or a checkbox for anamorphic mode.
Mainly for Custom Sizes.
In order to optimize from 4:3 to 16:9 television format or Aspect ratio.
SD-NTSC 720x480 [1,33:1] ... It is anamorphic, but I want to have the option to work with higher Resolutions.

Encoding settings -> AviSynth Filters -> Size -> Custom (anamorphic)????

Example:
https://s26.postimg.org/5hti9eyi1/anamorphic.png

Pardon, if that has been previously reported. Thanks!

[Atak_Snajpera]

Are you upscaling from 720x480 to 1080x720?

[jandor]

Are you upscaling from 720x480 to 1080x720?


Yes! Playback becomes much more comfortable for Full HD TV.
Only in this case (DVD video), more than that (1080x720) would not be necessary.

I edited the previous post.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Why don't you let TV to do upscaling on fly? Currently you are only increasing bitrate and encoding time for no extra detail during playback.

[jandor]

Why don't you let TV to do upscaling on fly? Currently you are only increasing bitrate and encoding time for no extra detail during playback.

I understand you, but I was looking for the optimization of the anamorphic way, because it would already be automated from the origin.
If RipBot allows me to, I accept the risk of more time and larger file size.

Just an option to "force the anamorphic"... something like: "Use when necessary".

Thank you for your attention.

File m2v + ac3 does not allow automatic cutting (Crop Automatically), and freezes the RipBot. No support for M2V?
I need to use the ImagoMPEG-Muxer (https://www.videohelp.com/software/ImagoMPEG-Muxer) application and transform the m2v + ac3 to VOB.

Hello. Not used ripbot in a while, quite a while in fact and have ran into a problem.

I have all the necessary additional tools installed, haali, avsynth, etc. When I load a file into ripbot, it takes ages to demux, even though I have 3 HDs. Once the file is finally demuxed, ripbot just sits there with the, "please wait, gathering information" message, and nothing happens at all. I have to abort the process.

I am running:
Ryzen 8 core 1700@3.70ghz, no overclocking.
16gig DDR4 3600mhz.
Windows Pro 64bit.

Regards....

[jandor]

The RipBot, by means of the PgcDemux, among other tools, already works very well with DVD files and practically excludes the incidence of delay.
But when we use a unique VOB file of unknown origin, then we often come across a delay. This way we can facilitate the encoding of RipBot.
For this particular case I tested many tools, and this was the safest process.
After that this VOB file will marry well with the RipBot.

Procedures (Mux/Demux - no encoding and no compress): Image1 (https://s26.postimg.org/iukxrxxgp/Re_Jig.png) - Image2 (https://s26.postimg.org/di0orjyy1/Imago.png)

Are you using batch mode? If so try doing the video in question with just the add button (not batch mode) and see if you get more detail. I have to do this sometimes.

[Asmeralde]

Hello

I've run into an odd thing on two different PCs running windows 10

- Setup a job
- Enable distributed encoding
- Check that ripbot264temp is properly shared
- Start job

When I click start job the network share of ripbot264temp is removed and ripbot264 fails at indexing the file.

Now If I'm quick and manage to reshare the ripbot264temp directory while ripbot is copying tools, it will proceed to encode in a normal way right until the next item in the queue and the share will be removed again automatically.

I've tried searching the thread but I haven't found anything that could help me.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on?


Hello. First of all thank you. I use ripbot264 for 8 years now. Now I pass the upper step using distributed encoding but i have exactly the same problem as the one indicated above. Do you have a solution for this problem? Thank you.

PS : Using ripbot264 1.20 . The issue appears with non-English versions of Windows. Tested on 3 new Windows install. The shared folder problem is not on the English windows...

Is there an official statement to the use of Avisynth+? Rather by chance I found a checkbox in settings "Avisynth+ MT". In forum I found no docu for this.

I really need the high bit depth and REC.2020 support, so I installed Avisynth+. On Add of avs I get error messages:

avs2pipemod.exe doesn't work anymore
ffprobe.exe doesn't work anymore
ffmpeg.exe doesn't work anymore

However my "old" avs are still added and correctly encoded by RipBot264 1.20, even if with some avs there appears an error message while encoding.

I assume RipBot distribution doesn't have Avisynth? Please clarify.

avs2pipemod.exe doesn't work anymore
avs2yuv.exe doesn't work anymore

I have 2 questions regarding hardcoding subtitles from .mkv to .mp4.

1) is there a way to change the font type and size for the subtitles? I would like it to be "Univers CW 45 Light" and size "41"
2) Are there any plans to have the hardcoded subtitles feature available in Batch mode without having to edit each file? I wish it could allow you to select Subtitle 1 of subtitle 2, etc, and then use that selection for all the file in batch. In my particular case, Narcos and Game of Thrones only had 1 subtitle and it was only the Forced for foreign speaking parts. It would be a great feature if you could select it similar to how the audio is selected.

Having an issue with 64bit AVISynth and the most recent update.
I'm on Encoding Server v1.8.0.0
AViSynth+ .01 (r2508, MT, i386)

The problem is I know that I installed both the 64bit and 32bit versions and followed the update steps for r2508MT 64bit.
RipBot is still defaulting to 32bit.

I tried installing just the 64bit but then RipBot won't start.

-I bring up the 32/64bit stuff because avs2yuv.exe starts and then my encode stalls at "starting..." when the 2GB limit is hit.

-Not user if related, but I've noticed when the MT value in the setting is 0 (auto detect), I get Import("E:\!0-Trans\!2Tools\RipBot264v1.20.0\Tools\AviSynth plugins\Scripts\MTmodes.avs")
#PREFETCH_LIMIT=2/8/10 for different videos in the queue, and not a consistent value.

I've noticed I get this error sometimes and not others:
List Index out of bounds (5)

I was getting it sometimes when turning off MT and Turning on MT when the auto refresh was happening after playing settings.

--Should say when MT is off I don't get close to the 2GB limit and encoding works fine.--

How do you change audio from dts-hd to dts?
Add audio file to ts-muxer

[Atak_Snajpera]

RipBot is still defaulting to 32bit.
Because all plugins are still 32bit.

I bring up the 32/64bit stuff because avs2yuv.exe starts and then my encode stalls at "starting..." when the 2GB limit is hit.
You will have to reduce prefech limit significantly because it looks like you are using some very demanding filters.

#PREFETCH_LIMIT=2/8/10 for different videos in the queue, and not a consistent value.

Formula looks like this
PREFETCH_LIMIT:=RoundToEven(1000000/(FrameWidth*FrameHeight)*16)

With active MDegrain2 denoiser memory consumption should be always below 1GiB regardless of the frame size.

Currently it only works if subtitle has the same name as video file.

for example:

X:\Movie.srt

[byteshare]

Because all plugins are still 32bit.
I thought the plugins that came with the 64bit AVISynth+ would be 64bit. My mistake, didn't think about it being more dependent on the plugins in RipBot.
I know MVTools and a few others should support 64bit.

You will have to reduce prefech limit significantly because it looks like you are using some very demanding filters.

I'm using prefetch 2 right now, I can try 1 but most likely will have to stick with non-MT mode which puts my memory usage around 1.3-1.5GB (avs2yuv.ext) per server.

[skylinekiller]

Currently it only works if subtitle has the same name as video file. so if I do the exact same thing I did, but change my test file to the exact same as the movie title, it will hard code when it burns?

Are you working with 4k footage that you can't go above 2?

[slalom]

Hello. Not used ripbot in a while, quite a while in fact and have ran into a problem.

I have all the necessary additional tools installed, haali, avsynth, etc. When I load a file into ripbot, it takes ages to demux, even though I have 3 HDs. Once the file is finally demuxed, ripbot just sits there with the, "please wait, gathering information" message, and nothing happens at all. I have to abort the process.

I am running:
Ryzen 8 core 1700@3.70ghz, no overclocking.
16gig DDR4 3600mhz.
Windows Pro 64bit.

Regards....
Same problem here, did you find a solution?

First pass has both "--pass 1" and "--pass 2", first one gets ignored and it fails because naturally there is no pass file yet. But I don't know why RipBot did that. Or did you manually set "--pass 2" by accident somehow?

[MaistroX]

yes I did, will remove it, but it was the same Before with out both of them, RipBot would´nt start as it did Before 1.20.1 update! :(

Well, I have just discovered a major problem with the latest auto update.
I had a batch queue encoding using the previous update (11/09/17), and it was working well, so I then updated to (13/09/17), and the DE went berserk, only a couple of the 10 servers I had enabled, connected, and I could not re connect them.

So now I'll have to "re install" the "vanilla" 1.20.0, and update up to the second last update....unless there's a fix, beforehand :)

EDIT:- Well, it's all working nicely today.....the only thing that I have changed was, I disabled x264 OpenCL acceleration for my GTX 580 card.....

It's working alright, today (see my previous post)

So I'm having a bit of a problem with the auto shutdown option.

I generally have a "main" pc doing the Ripbot "thing", and one server helping.

Twice now (which is as many times as I've used it), when I have selected "Shutdown Servers" option, it shutdowns both pc's...I haven't tried the "Shutdown Client" option.....

I have all 16 servers enabled, 10 on the main pc, and 6 on the "helper"....maybe that shutdown option can't tell the difference between the 2....

Also, auto update hasn't worked for the last couple of days :(

[Atak_Snajpera]

Shutdown Servers option basically tells Encoding client to send shutdown command to ALL specified IP's. So It will shutdown your main PC as well if you also have running encodingserver.exe in background.

Also, auto update hasn't worked for the last couple of days
It was intentionally disabled by me because newer version 1.21.0 will only work with AViSynth+ MT x64. Also due to this change old jobs created by 1.20.x won't work in newer x64 environment!
I decided to abandon x86 mainly due to annoying 2 GiB limit which can be easily reached when working with multiple processing threads.

This is awesome. Looking forward to my batch of encodes finishing so I can test this out.

[Atak_Snajpera]

v1.21.0
Added: Support for AviSynth+ MT x64 (installer located in \Tools\AviSynth folder)
Finally no need to automatically limit processing threads due to 32bit memory limitation.
Warning! Jobs created by older version won't work with this version! You must start with freshly created job!
Fixed: Various tweaks and changes under the hood.
Updated: MKVToolnix v15.0.0, EncodingServer v1.8.1

[byteshare]

Playing with the new version now, love what you did with AVISynth installer.
For x265
I'm only seeing 1 file in the folder now: x265_x64.exe
Before there were 4 files x265_x64.exe, x265_x64_10bit.exe, x265_x86.exe, and x265_x86_10bit.exe
I wanted to update becase the x265 is on 2.5+4 and stable is 2.5+5
My question before is figuring out which files to take from: http://msystem.waw.pl/x265/ wasn't too hard before.

The x265 files (for updating) come as:
libx265_main.dll
libx265_main10.dll
libx265_main12.dll
x265.exe
x265_32.exe
x265-8b.exe
x265-8b_32.exe
x265-10b.exe
x265-10b_32.exe
x265-12b.exe
x265-12b_32.exe

My guess was to use the x265.exe but it is significantly larger than the x265_x64.exe that comes with 1.21.0
Suggestion?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Yes use the largest binary (all in one).

In this new release RipBot264 can not be started because MSVCP140.dll is missing.

What can I do about it ???

EDIT:- OK, here's what I have just done, I exported that registry entry, saved as a .reg file, copied to usb, ran it on the "faulty" PC, and now it works.....

But I would still like your opinion, please.

Is there a specific version of Java you suggest ??? I've notice that v8 has been discontinued, so v9 is now the go, but I haven't been able to find x86 version, so that might be a future problem.

I get the issue after removing the f3kdb as well.
I don't get the issue while using MDegrain, which is why I think it has something to do with both HQDN3D and F3KDB.

I don't see this issue with MDegrain, but I do if I use MDegrain and F3KDB

I tried updating to the flash3kyuu_deband.dll 2.0 but that was a whole different set of problems and couldn't get the test video to start.

Hi, Atak_Snajpera

When running the AviSynth+ MT (r2508 x86/x64) installer: Tools\AviSynth...... install.cmd
On Windows 10 64 bits ... When I run install.cmd as Administrator, then you get:

C:\Windows\System32 === AviSynth.dll === x64 === 1.882 KB
C:\Windows\SysWOW64 === AviSynth.dll === x86 === 1.492 KB

xcopy "Libraries\x64\DevIL.dll" "%SYSTEMROOT%\System32" /Y

@ activoice

1st post here...

As far as I know, ALL subtitles are saved into the relevant job folder, but you have to manually add them, if you want them muxed in..there are a couple of different options to do this.

[soneca]

Atak, I still have no options on audio tracks with DTS-HD MA sources.

There is an option to Remux Subs in Batch mode. The only problem with this is that if those subs had names (MKV Titles) in the previous file that information is lost.
I manually remux subs after an encode with a batch file for the reason above.

In Version 1.21.0 two checkboxes have disappeared in Advanced Settings (Use 64bit encoder, Use Avisynth+ MT).

Also I get error message "cannot load 32bit DLL in 64 bit Avisynth".

How can I force use of 32 bit Avisynth?

[jandor]

Atak,

Put an option (check box) under Settings: >>>> Minimize to Taskbar.
Let RipBot open normally, and at your command you can minimize it to the Taskbar.
Minimizing to the Taskbar is my preference, and I believe it is also that of many users.

Also I get error message "cannot load 32bit DLL in 64 bit Avisynth".

How can I force use of 32 bit Avisynth?

v1.21.0 always uses 64 bit encoder and requires AviSynth+ MT x64 (and 64 bit plugins!). Encoding on 32bit AviSynth is no longer possible. If you really need 32bit then I can only advise you to forget about newer version and stay with 1.20.0

[Atak_Snajpera]

After updating all 16 of my encoding servers and my encoding client to 1.21.0 and latest updates, the servers are ALL now giving me this error:

Encoding started...

Connection Closed Gracefully.

I uninstalled AviSynth and installed the batch file for AVISynth+ in your script. I created new encoding jobs as the release notes specify, but still I meet this error, and the encoding servers close the connection.

What do you get here?

[Atak_Snajpera]

I'm getting an annoying random error....

I can queue a job, make adjustments, start the encode, and shortly after it's gathered information, it pop's up an error msg, saying that it can't find that job's "info.txt".....somehow it get's deleted, and the show's over.

This is with the latest version & latest update....

I know I've had this happen before, and pretty sure I was given a "fix", but that was a long time ago :(

Anyone have any idea's ???

When you get that message ,open \Chunks\getinfo.avs in MPC-HC (x64) and show me what error message pops-up. Also show me content of that file.

[Shrekage]

@Shrekage What version does the Encoding Server say AVISynth+ is on?


The bottom line of the server status window reads:

V1.8.1.0 | AviSynth+ 0.1 (r2508, MT, x86_64)

I am getting a similar error after the last upgrade. I removed AVISynth 2.6 and reinstalled it. Same error. It doesn't always error. I can process a video fine one time and then the next I get this error.

Hi Atak,

Not sure what you mean by "Also show me content of that file" ?

Hopefully this link will work, haven't used Mediafire for a long time.

OK, but I think I may have deleted it, but I'm sure I'd be able to replicate it....I'll let you know.

Having said that, I successfully encoded several movies today, without issue (using the very latest update)...maybe this file that is giving me the issues is put together wrong, it's a simple Youtube clip, after all, with Opus audio.

:thanks:

[Atak_Snajpera]

The error message says "Syntax Error" in specific line and column. I'm basically curious what went wrong.

[byteshare]

I can send you a test file but I've only been seeing this issue thus far on x264 10bit as a source but have only tested with x264 8bit and 10bit thus far and not other input codecs.
The issue:

video=hqdn3d(video,2,0,0,0).f3kdb
I get the issue after removing the f3kdb as well.
I don't get the issue while using MDegrain, which is why I think it has something to do with both HQDN3D and F3KDB.

I don't see this issue with MDegrain, but I do if I use MDegrain and F3KDB

I tried updating to the flash3kyuu_deband.dll 2.0 but that was a whole different set of problems and couldn't get the test video to start.

I'm using both r2506MT 64bit and r2508MT 64bit (separate computers).
Both computers are on RipBot 1.21.0, and both Win7

I can confirm that a more recent update has fixed this issue. Side note, might be good to start updating RipBots version number when updates are pushed so that people can report more accurately which version of "1.21.0" they are on.

That's actually a really good suggestion, it would make it a lot easier.

About the only way to tell what build you're on, is to go into settings and check what build date the core is.

I have a question about updater.exe. is it OK to urn it sandalone (just by double-click?) I run just the encodingserver on a number of machines and never run RipBot264.exe on those... will it just update EncodingServer or will it try to update everything?

Just upload \Chunks\getinfo.avs to mediafire

Done

so whatever was causing the problem, you've fixed it, already :)

As long as you stop the encoding servers on that machine first it is fine, but once done you'll have to run it again for it to install.
I'd just recommend opening the full ripbot at that point though.

Since the most recent update when I'm adding a job I noticed the format changed on the color spaces and when I'm using MDegrain2 I'm getting the error:
MSuper: Clip must be YUV or YUY2
(C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\Job1\job1_preview.avs, line 34)

to ...mkv.ffindex").ConvertToRGB.Crop(1,0,-1,0).ConvertToYV12(matrix="rec709")
it doesn't give me that error in the preview.

but either way I'm getting this error with most new jobs:

Update: I've only tried with 2 different video types. 1 of the videos having issues with the msuper I'd have previously encoded with the same settings.
The only video type I'm not currently having issues with is x264 10bit, and only 8bit ones seem to be an issue right now. I can send test clips if needed, but the 10bit one I've already sent you.

As long as you stop the encoding servers on that machine first it is fine, but once done you'll have to run it again for it to install.
I'd just recommend opening the full ripbot at that point though.

My thinking was, at boot, run updater.exe, wait 20 seconds, run encodingserver. this is on dedicated headless "servers" that only runs when awakened by the client, then shuts down until the next time it's needed...

[george84]

Yes .

I tried and there is a source of problems. When I create a job with version 1.21 then it will also show in job queue of 1.20.
So you have a source of error and must be very careful not to start a given job in the wrong version.

Thats because there exists one single working directory for all version.

Maybe in a future version this could be adapted.

[slalom]

Use different Temp folders

[george84]

Use different Temp folders

In settings I find only drive letter. No folder.

[soneca]

In settings I find only drive letter. No folder.

Exactly, unfortunately we can not create two temporary folders on the same partition, the folder is created automatically when we define a partition.
RipBot264 defines the location for temporary files by partition, not by folders.:(

[Atak_Snajpera]

You can always use TEMP option (system temp folder. Usually in x:\Users\[user_name]\AppData\Local\Temp)

[soneca]

But to speed up the process(demux) I use disk E as temporary and destination and D as source.
And C is an SSD that prevents overwriting, including the path of the temp folder has been changed to disk D.
Changing the temp folder to disk D, my only alternative, would not speed up the process.

[george84]

You can always use TEMP option (system temp folder. Usually in x:\Users\[user_name]\AppData\Local\Temp)

I assume you mean we should edit RipBot264.ini:
[settings]
// TEMP=uses System temp ; C , D ... uses specific partition
StoreTempFilesin=C

for
[settings]

Has to do with something specific RipBot builds.
I ran the same problem videos on a different RipBot computer and I do not get the msuper error, the difference was 1 computer is on core build 2017.09.21 (works) and the other is on 2017.09.27 (does not work).
I happened to close and open and got updated to 2017.09.25 and that version also had the msuper issue.
I backed up my build on the working computer, updated to 2017.09.27 and I'm getting the same error.
Will PM sample.
Update: Sent PM with link to a file for testing
Update Update: Either you're really fast or I missed an update, but I'm now on 2017.09.28 and it is working again :D

Just wondering if Ripbot supports UHD Blu-Ray structures? I'm assuming no, because I tried one and it did not show any playlist or anything. If not, will it in the future? Thanks.

[george84]

My AVISYNTH+ generates a 16bit clip YUV444P. I can add it as job to RipBot264 (newest 64bit version), and it will also encode.
However the resulting clip is complete garbage. (OK, audio is correct)

It would be nice to have an error message when adding job. It would be even nicer if RipBot would support it.

I'm also having Avisynth issues with 1.21, preventing me from using both RipBot and the encoding server.

When I try to prepare a job in RipBot, it fails to a blank "Decode Error" screen. When I try to push a job to the encoding server, it fails immediately on start, saying it couldn't load avisynth.dll.

I've tried nuking my Avisynth installation and letting RipBot install it fresh but it hasn't helped. I've also tried manually reinstalling AviSynth to no avail.

Encoding Server reports that I have Avisynth+ 0.1 (r2508, MT, x86-64).

Here's an example error message from Encoding Server.

The other issue I have with this is you chose close first RipBot thinks the segment finished :( You have to stop the server, click close, and then start the server again.

I think this isn't a RipBot issue per say, since it is the AVS2YUV.exe, but it also doesn't seem to be a consistent issue, meaning I could encode the same chunk more than once and it won't always happen, and I don't believe I've seen it happen where AVS2YUV.exe crashes and I stop the server, close the error, and start the server again and then AVS2YUV.exe crashes again, so maybe it is a memory issue?

[cypher007]

any chance I can have a feature added?

if I could choose the core of a DTS track within an MKV it would be very helpful, and mean I don't have to use BDtoAVCHD.

at the moment it doesn't let me choose core unless its a BD structure.

@byteshare
Most likely one of plugins in your script causes crash in avs2yuv.exe.
For example I have noticed that TextSub (VSFilter) sometimes crashes avs2yuv.exe in DE mode.

Yeah, what I was guessing. I'll just have to be careful with stopping the encoding server in the encoding client before I click close. Thank you.

Can somebody send me Bluray 4k (HEVC) sample? For example whole structure with trimmed .m2ts files (less than 100 MB for each file is ok). I've noticed that eac3to added support for HEVC and I would like to check how this works.

Getting this since two days (haven't used RipBot for nearly a month, so don't know if error would have occured earlier.

Nevermind: Found that recent version is 1.21 and downloaded new zip from first post.

[nekrosoft13]

hmm... i'm getting massive memory leaks in 1.21

I'm using distributed encoding, the server running Ripbot has 32gb of ram and it consumes 100% of ram to the point of entire windows becoming unstable and crashing...

I did switch to MT version of AviSynth from the tools folder.

[nekrosoft13]

I had to turn off MT, otherwise the program is un-usable, it just consumes 30+GB of ram for AVS2YUV

[tkwou]

Hi I just updated to 1.21.0 from 1.19.6. It asked me to to update to Avisynth+ MT which I did. Now when I'm running a distributed encode I'm only getting about half the frame rate that I used to. None of the servers are running anywhere close to 100% CPU like they did before the update. Is there a new setting somewhere that I've missed?

[tkwou]

Sorry I didn't realize that I didn't install Avisynth+ correctly. Now that I have, all the servers appear to running properly at close to 100% utilization on all cores. Still the overall framerate appears to be lower than before the 1.21.0 update. I'm using 4 computers, an I7-2700K, I3 6100, Xeon-5450 and an AMD FX-8350. I could normally encode most movies in under an hour but now I'm atleast 25% slower.

Hi Atak_Snajpera thank for this program is awesome, i used this since v1.16 and never have a problem but with Avisynth+ MT i have the same problem of tkwou when i activate "use mutiple processing threads"

https://i.imgur.com/xCnjrfo.jpg

in both version v1.21.0 and old 1.20.X the program run strange slowy and the cpu work alternate, example for 30 seconds the fps count increase, then 5 seconds the fps count remains stationary and then another 30s work again, so for the duration of all file, and the first pass is extreme slowy, but if deactivate "use mutiple processing threads" in both version all run fine without any problem.
I have reinstalled program and Avisynth+ MT 3-4 time for test but same problem, i work in 2pass mode in distribuated encoded with one i5 3570k and one i7 6700k both without overclocking and windows 10.

ps. sorry for my english i'm italian and i have used google for help me to write this, I hope I was clear.

[Atak_Snajpera]

@tkwou and @ pinco1117

Yes disable that option if you do not perform any heavy filtering in script (for example deinterlacing with QMTC or denoising with MDegrain).
It was my mistake that I left that option ON by default.

[pinco1117]

Thanks very much, i now know if i use heavy filter activate it, you are the best.

[gabbett1]

I've had issues lately with Ripbot not wanting to encode. Here is what I see in the encoding server.

Encoding started...
""\\DESKTOP-PC\Ripbot264temp\tools\avs2yuv\avs2yuv.exe" -seek 0 "\\DESKTOP-PC\RipBot264temp\job1\Chunks\1.avs" -o - | "\\DESKTOP-PC\Ripbot264temp\tools\x264\x264_x64.exe" --opencl --opencl-device 0 --crf 18 --fps 24000/1001 --force-cfr --min-keyint 24 --keyint 240 --frames 1424 --sar 1:1 --level 4.0 --preset veryslow --aud --nal-hrd vbr --vbv-bufsize 25000 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --stdin y4m --output "\\DESKTOP-PC\RipBot264temp\job1\Chunks\1.264" -"

y4m [error]: bad sequence header magic

Encoding terminated.

Nothing has changed on my end other than some IP work. I don't think this would effect things, but instead of having a default IP string from 192.168.1.1 it's been changed to 192.168.35.1

Again, I don't think this is the issue, but felt necessary to post any changes since the program last functioned.

I'm running on Windows 7 Pro

RipBot264 changed his look, 4: 3 to 16: 9. Cool, new tidying up of Avisynth's tabs.
Is edge detection faster or is it my impression?

Hi Atak,

Some really nice changes in the new build 1.21.1, and just got another core update, now.

But could you please add a changelog.txt with each update, just so we know what you've been up to, instead of fumbling thru all the options & pages.

I'm sure this could be done easily. :thanks:

Another little cosmetic change that might be handy, is in the server window, (where all the chunks are shown), could that listing be auto scrolling, so once it's completed the 16 lines, it pop's up to the next line/chunk being processed, so that you always see active data....just a thought.

Cheers

[gabbett1]

Encoding is working now, but distributed encoding only partially works. The host computer can encode while the other computers try to encode and cycles between trying and going idle. Just repeats rapidly over and over.

So, you've told me to disable it, (is it disabled by default ?) and I'm using multi threaded cpu's, what is it really used for ???

That option is useful if you use heavy single threaded filters like MDegrain or QMTC deinterlacer.
Here is example 1920x1080 + MDegrain2 on my 16 thread CPU.

OMG, thanks for the detailed explanation....

I actually don't use MDegrain all that much...so what I'm thinking now is, for "normal" encodes, disable MT, and for MDegrain, etc, turn it on....

I will definitely give that a go !!.

See, sometimes it pays to ask a "noobie" question :) :thanks:

edit:-...OK, well that's done the trick alright....it's good to have good speed back on "normal" encodes.

I also did a MDegrain run on a pretty "dirty" 1080p Blade Runner, that was approx 18Gb, and after the encode down to 720p, with a fair bit taken out, it was only 1.5Gb, and took just over an hour to do.

[Atak_Snajpera]

According to my tests MDegrain2 can reduce bitrate in constant quality mode by factor of ~1.7x! I'm using it even on relatively clean movies.
I really like how it mainly removes those "dancing dots" without hurting too much real details.

So I'm curious how come you've added several "combo" filters in the recent builds ??

If MDegrain does such a good job by itself, why add the others ???

I mean, KNLmeans is sooooooooooo slow, and is GPU dependent, I haven't used it expect for a couple of times, when you first introduced it. If you haven't got several high end GPU's, whats the point.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Combo MDegrain2 + hqdn3d works very well on old anime. hqdn3d removes nicely those leftovers after MDegrain2.

Nice to be having a "masterclass" with the creator.....

OK, well, maybe for particular encoders/users, and would save multiple runs thru Ripbot, using different filters.

I generally use HQDN3D, but MDegrain2 seems to work well on most, and it seems to determine what it needs to do, "all by itself" :)

Don't have any old anime, but might work well on old DVD rips, which I have a LOT of.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I mainly use just MDegrain2 for regular movies and combo variant when I need that extra cleaning. Be careful to not overuse it.

Hi Atak_Snajpera, just curious about 1.21.0 compared to 1.19.6 that I was using before. I notice that ffmsindex.exe indexes the video file now when it is first added, and then the video file is indexed again once encodingclient.exe opens before the distributed encoding starts.

https://www.videohelp.com/software/RipBot264/version-history#changelog

[tkwou]

Thanks byteshare. I was just curious about the added video indexing step. ffmsindex.exe indexes the *.mkv file when it is first added in Ripbot264 GUI to produce *.mkv.ffindex and *.mkv.ffindex_track00.kf.txt files. When encodingclient.exe opens it copies the video.mkv file to the shared folder and then ffmsindex.exe reindexes that file again to create video.mkv.ffindex and video.mkv.ffindex_track00.kf.txt. It just seems redundant.

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search and didn't find results here.

I'm still using version 1.19.3, I had some issues with distributed encoding and subtitles on 1.21.

Is there any way to add the ability to batch process m2ts files? Its not a recognized filetype at least in 1.19.3.

If I change the files to mts, ripbot will import successfully, but it will not use distributed encoding.

I use it to compress blu-ray tv episodes, lots of files to compress.

I personally remux my m2ts files, but those should be work able in RibBot, last time I tried it at least.

As for your Distributed Encoding (DE) issues, we'd need more info as I personally am not having issues with using DE.

Issues,

was getting random avs2yuv.exe crash errors on client machines used to run the encoding server.

Sometimes they would work for a full movie or two, sometimes not, and the incomplete chunks would still get written to the movie file, causing skips and such.

the second issue was subtitles would sometimes flash sporadically even though they were proper srt files with good timing.

Both issues went away when I reverted back to 1.19.3

Ripbot for sure takes single m2ts files, but not in batch mode. Also it won't keep the filenames, it changes them all to "video.xxx"

I'm just looking to see if there is a better workflow I should be using, it's right now an all manual process, since it's tv episodes, it can take a while.

Right now I rip, then take out the individual m2ts which are episodes, name them their proper names, add to ripbot individually, name them again in ripbot, queue up and distribute encode them all.


Ive tried renaming them from m2ts to .ts or .mts or .m2t, and ripbot will add them all and compress, but distributed encoding never works for me when they are added as a batch.

I'm probably doing something wrong

[Atak_Snajpera]

Try ripping the them to mkv with MakeMKV the free activation code is in their forums.

was getting random avs2yuv.exe crash errors on client machines used to run the encoding server.
Sometimes they would work for a full movie or two, sometimes not, and the incomplete chunks would still get written to the movie file, causing skips and such.
I have this issue two. I've been told the issue is with my AVISynth script. What I do to work around this is don't close the error message before you turn off that encoding client, what I mean is if Server 1 throws the error turn it off on the client (Enocding status to Off status), close the error, and then start the Server again from the encoding client (Off status to On status).

the second issue was subtitles would sometimes flash sporadically even though they were proper srt files with good timing.
As Atak_Snajpera saied: "Known issue. Disable "Use Multiple processing threads" option. This should also fix crashing when burning subtitles on frames.
I will see what I can do with those file names."
I generally handle audio and subs externally as RipBot doesn't do a good job (i.e. make it easy to copy/convert all of them) batching files with several subs and/or audio files.

[Ryushin]

Atak, truly you are amazing to still be supporting and adding more features all the time to RipBot264. I very much appreciate all your hard work. Just upgraded to the 1.21.x builds. Just have a couple of questions.

What does "Decoding Threads" do in the Distributed Encoding tab.

Is there anything I can do to speed up the demuxing? On my wife's new Ryzen 1800X machine it can demux an tv episode in 3 minutes to spinning rust. On a AMD server, and a Win10 virtual machine, with 48 2.1Ghz cores, it takes over 9 minutes, also to spinning rust . The demuxing process seems to mostly be single threaded from watching task manager. Any ideas on a way to speed this up?

[Tazlord]

I know this topic has been discussed here before but I can't seem to find the solution this this problem anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ISSUE
When trying to enable encoding on a remote server I am receiving the following error:

https://preview.ibb.co/gSw0vw/2017_11_03_22_42_26_Windows_10_Pro_x64.png


INFORMATION
Server host is Windows 10 x64.
The system running RipBot264 main application is also Windows 10 x64.
The remote server is able to open and access files in the RipBotTemp folder. I have verified this through Windows Explorer.
AviSynth+ MT x64 has been installed on the server host (see screenshot above).

[Atak_Snajpera]

What does "Decoding Threads" do in the Distributed Encoding tab.
Other user asked the same question in private message...
If you set Decoding Threads to 0 then all your cpu threads will be used during decoding process. In some rare situations It will eliminate bottleneck in case when x264 can process frames faster than decoder can provide. In old days multi-threaded decoding was very buggy hence I set safe value of 1 (single thread).
Currently I do not think that this is still necessary and multi-threaded decoding should not cause any crashes.

On a AMD server, and a Win10 virtual machine, with 48 2.1Ghz cores, it takes over 9 minutes, also to spinning rust .
Maybe it is a problem with virtualization?

@Tazlord
You most likely do not have VC++ redist 2015 (x64) installed on that machine.

@Tazlord

Thanks! That was it! I had 2008 and 2012 installed but I guess AviSyth+ MT needs 2015. Thanks again.

[Ryushin]

Maybe it is a problem with virtualization?


I was thinking that originally as well. Spent three days working on that. I was able to remove a couple of bottlenecks. Now it looks like the system has plenty of resources to spare. It's pegged one core to the max and I'm thinking that is limiting the demuxing process. Not sure if it can be threaded any further or not.

The Ryzen proc is just amazing. Thinking of going with the server version of it for my main server in the future.

Heyho,

I've found that 1.21.1 (and 1.20) looses the language information on the 2nd audio track. I can see this on all of my jobs.

!Sometime! even the first track does not have a language set. For now I can't tell if it is due to a specific codec or anything else.

This is not a big deal but sometimes this language is even missing inside the "jobXXX_MuxFiles.cmd" - files which leads into a merge-error. Unfortunatly from then I can't run this file by hand as the converted files allready got deleted by ripbot.

So this:
--compression 0:none --language 0: --sync 0:0 "D:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job86\audio_2_English.core.dts"
has to look like this:
--compression 0:none --language 0:eng --sync 0:0 "D:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job86\audio_2_English.core.dts"

What can you tell me about this error?

error: failed to load avisynth.dll
y4m [error]: bad sequence header magic
x264 [error]: could not open input file `-'

I have the same updated ripbot folder on all PCs
This came on one PC on both encoding servers

new to using v.1.21.1

[Atak_Snajpera]

You have solution literally on the same page.

[slalom]

You're talking about AviSynth+_FE_0.1.0.2508_X64

It fixed the problem, but why was it on only one PC? (nevermind, don't wanna know)

Is there a reason for a wider Ripbot264 program window?
It won't fit side by side with the servers window on 1680 pixels

Just wondering

[MaistroX]

Hi Atak_Snajpera,

Is there a reason that RipBot dno´t recognise a UHD file as ex: "00001.track_4113.hevc"?
How do I add it to RipBot so I can encode it?

Regards MaistroX

Hi Atak,

So "we've" had 2 auto updates in the last week, and have no idea what has changed...:(

I know I've asked several times before, can you PLEASE add a changelog.txt with the updates !?!?!?

Also, are you going to post the "full" version of 1.12.1 on the 1st page, and update the changelog there....

Cheers :thanks:

[Ryushin]

Instead of very expensive EPYC 32c/64t (2.2 GHz) I would rather choose overclocked ThreadRipper 16c/32t (~4GHz).
-Cheaper motherboard and CPU
-Similar multithreaded performance
-Better single threaded performance

I'd rather use a higher clocked chip for sure. I'll have to see if they have a EPYC version at some point in time. I have a Supermicro server chassis so I use their motherboards. Hopefully Supermicro will make a ThreadRipper motherboard with ECC memory.

I have encountered a bug in 1.21.1. Sometimes when I'm editing a job when encoding is running, the job that is starting will be transposed with the job that I'm editing. I need to close RipBot264 and go and edit the jobs.list file to fix what was replaced. The bug changes the job number along with the job name. Putting the information back into jobs.list allows me to get the job back that was transposed.

BTW, absolutely phenomenal job with the new version of RipBot264 and Avisynth MT. I'm now seeing about 30fps when using mdegrain instead of 5fps with my setup.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Btw. How many fps do you have in my benchmark http://forum.pclab.pl/topic/1184884-x265-FHD-Benchmark/ on that AMD Opteron?

[Ryushin]

Btw. How many fps do you have in my benchmark http://forum.pclab.pl/topic/1184884-x265-FHD-Benchmark/ on that AMD Opteron?

Current Setup:

Server 1:
CPUs: 4 sockets, AMD Opteron 6172, 12 cores each proc, 48 cores total.
Devuan Linux
Windows 10 VM running under QEMU KVM with 44 cores
Benchmark Results:
2 x AMD Opteron 23xx (Gen 3 Class Opteron) @ 2.1GHz ( 22C / 22T )
encoded 2500 frames in 172.67s (14.48 fps), 7025.74 kbps, Avg QP:37.21

Server 2:
AMD Ryzen 7 1800X Eight-Core @ 3.6GHz ( 8C / 16T )
encoded 2500 frames in 108.78s (22.98 fps), 7025.74 kbps, Avg QP:37.21

Server 3 and 4:
Dell R610s
2 x Intel Xeon X5550 @ 2.66GHz ( 4C / 8T )
encoded 2500 frames in 197.02s (12.69 fps), 7025.74 kbps, Avg QP:37.21

Not so sure if the benchmark is a good test for that many cores or not. When using the distributed encoding, I give the Opteron server 4 instances to fully utilize the system. Before 1.21.x I had to give it 6 instances.

But I'm so impressed with Ryzen. That single CPU is pretty much doing half as much work as that quad AMD for most tasks. But with mdegrain2, the Ryzen is matching the quad AMD.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Benchmark uses 5 instances of x265. CPU usage should be at 100%. (prease verify)
I'm surprised that 44 cores @ 2.1 GHz gives only 14.5 fps. That's basicaly Intel Core i5-7400 @ 3.5GHz ( 4C / 4T ) level !

In the beginning of the test it is using all the cores and running about 16.8fps (which still is not that great), but right at the end of the test, when some of the threads have finished, it drops to 14.5fps which is what it records. The G3 Opteron may be missing some cpu extensions for x265 optimizations.

I've been thinking I may move the VM to another one of my servers and I may reload the Opteron server with Server 2013. Another project for me. :)

[Toku]

Hi Atak - Thanks so much for this software. Without software like Ripbot offering distributed encoding - encoding in H265 would be pretty much impossible with current consumer grade hardware.

One request - are you able to add the option to choose no audio tracks in Batch mode? I like to deal with audio tracks separately and mux them together after the encode. When using batch mode, the option to choose no audio tracks doesn't seem to be there?

[lemaireus]

Atak, each time I load an .mkv video with DTSHD-MA audio into Ripbot for encoding, the audio track straightaway encodes itself into a FLAC file. Is there any way I can change that behaviour?

I prefer what Ripbot does with blu ray discs, where it provides the option to decode to .wav or use the core or keep the track unchanged. In mkv files with DTSHD-MA, Ripbot doesn't offer me any option; it straightaway encodes the DTSHD-MA into a FLAC track. I wish I had the option to decode to .wav and then encode into AC3 or keep DTS core, basically use the same options which we can use in encoding blu ray discs. I know that I can encode the FLAC into an AC3 but I'd still prefer if Ripbot offered me all the options it does with blu ray discs even when I am encoding an mkv or a BDRemux with DTSHD-MA audio.

If those options are available and it's just that I haven't yet figured them out, I'd be thankful if you could point me in the right direction about configuring those options.

Update to 1.21.x

[Ryushin]

Hi Atak,

First the UI Reqeust. When using MDegrain, is it possible to add two arrow boxes like you do for HQDN3D? One for selecting what level of MDegrain, 1-3 and another one for the thSAD value and perhaps have the arrows change the value up or down by 25 or allow you to just type into the box the value you want.

Also, as a general usage for HQDN3D, I found that setting the temporal value as half of what the denoising value and rounding down give me good results. So 4422, 5522, 6633, 7733, 8844, etc.

Now about the Distributed Encoding (DE) issue. I've extracted a couple of clips that show the problem which can be downloaded from here:
https://cloud.chrisdos.com/index.php/s/gm6HakAT9J2WLr7

During the camera panning there are several skipped frames when using DE.

At first I thought the issue was relating to degraining while using DE and I tried quite a few options but the problem was still there. On a whim I turned off DE and then the skipped frames where no longer an issue. Is there anything I can do to help with the debugging? Do you need access to the original source file?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Do you need access to the original source file?
yes...

[JASAN]

Known issue. Disable "Use Multiple processing threads" option. This should also fix crashing when burning subtitles on frames.
I will see what I can do with those file names.

UPDATE:
v1.21.1
Uses original file name correctly
http://i.cubeupload.com/ykfT9c.png

Atak, where do I download the version that fixes the renaming of the files? I have some time this week to test and I just see 1.21.0 for the downloads...

Thanks again

[Ryushin]

Hi Atak,

Encountered something new. When clicking okay on the Avisynth window, there is a large disk load that takes about five minutes to complete before the window actually closes.

You'll have to download that available version, make sure auto updates are enabled, and then run the program which will download the updates, and they will be installed the next time you start the program, and it should be up to date...(you should see the update notice working, as Ripbot starts)

[Ryushin]

Are you still on virtual machine?

Yep. The picture is showing a large load of 100MB/s though for a long period of time.

Ran some benchmarks. It's me. The raw disk image grew and performance went south. Back to disk/vm tuning for me.

This is not an "issue" as it is regenerating the info.txt, and it is just slow on your machine. I'd rather it didn't if it did a check for info.txt but at least it always does which saves me when a few random jobs don't have the info.txt for some reason.

[Ryushin]

Ended up throwing in the towel as it really looks like I encountered some kind of KVM bug with the storage. Reloaded the whole system bare metal with Server 2012 R2. Still getting some thing set up before I start testing. Disk access seems far better now. So hopefully the slowness will be gone. Ran the x265 benchmark and it's only using about 20-30% of the system.

Hi. I have a problem with 1.21, all mp4 files i throw at it fail after copying the file to the shared folder (right at the start of encoding), with

Exception EFOpenError in module EncodingClient.exe at 000241AE. Cannot open file "c:\temp\ripbot264temp\job1\info.txt". The system cannot find the file specified.


This happens with all mp4s, and only with mp4s. If i throw mkvs at it, it works fine. I took a look at the mp4getinfo.cmd that gets created in the job folder, and there is an issue with it (at least with it, havent checked others). The command it runs, if i run it at the command line, outputs its result to the console, not the file. If i add "2>&1" at the end of it, then it sends its output to the file. I assume the info.txt file is then created from info taken from the mp4info.txt file, and this is the root cause of the problem.

Example:
(from mp4getinfo.cmd)
"D:\Desktop\RipBot264\Tools\mp4box\mp4box.exe" -info "E:\OldJ\conv\FILE.mp4" >> "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\mp4info.txt"

results in a 0 byte mp4info.txt (and a missing info.txt).

but running instead
"D:\Desktop\RipBot264\Tools\mp4box\mp4box.exe" -info "E:\OldJ\conv\FILE.mp4" >> "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\mp4info.txt" 2>&1

creates a proper mp4info.txt file.

Apparently mp4box is outputing to stderr instead of stdout, even if its normal output (there is no error, the file is perfectly fine).

Again, this happens on ALL mp4 files i throw at it. I'm running the program as downloaded from the first post. This did not happen with 1.20.1.

Thanks for a great piece of software.

I've had issues with info file before, as a temporary work around and maybe some insight to the issue, try:
Go into the AviSynth settings for an encode, Click okay, don't need to change anything.
This will trigger the regenerating of the info.txt. See if that makes the info file for you.

[GZZ]

Trying to do some HDR encoding, but your AVS script is killing it. Event though I choose Main10 and add these extra settings for x265 "--hdr --hdr-opt --colorprim "bt2020" --transfer 16" you are using "colorspace="YV12" in your AVS file after the ffindex file.
If I run the AVS file with the above colorspace it outputs 8 bit:

E:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\job1.avs: 3840x1608, YV12, 8-bits, progressive, 24000/1001 fps, 192703 frames

But If I remove colorspace conversion it outputs 10 bit and my HDR is working.
E:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\job1.avs: 3840x1608, YUV422P10, 10-bits, progressive, 24000/1001 fps, 192703 frames

But how can I turn this off in Ripbot, at the moment I have to do some manuel steps to get it working?

Update: Also had to set this parameter for AVS2YUV to preserve YUV422P10 (or else it got converted to YUV420p10). Parameter: -csp I422

@Atak_Snajpera
Would the new chunk support in HEVC Version 2.6+ possibly help RipBot?
Basic support for segmented (or chunked) encoding added with --vbv-end that can specify the status of CPB at the end of a segment. String this together with --vbv-init to encode a title as chunks while maintaining VBV compliance!
http://x265.readthedocs.io/en/default/releasenotes.html

Thought about it more, I guess this would only help if not doing anything with AVISynth?

[sneaker_ger]

Doesn't matter if source is AviSynth or not.

[byteshare]

Doesn't matter if source is AviSynth or not.
I suppose it wouldn't matter if you cut the video into chunks for AVISynth, mux it all back together then let HEVC to do its own thing for DE mode, but I don't know how feasible that is right now.

[mdchaser]

Hi, I'm experiencing something interesting after reloading my PC. I am running the latest version and installed the pre-reqs. I can encode blu-ray to mkv just fine but the output gives me a black screen with audio... I can use VLC to play it fine but other players won't display the video stream!

Thanks!

[sneaker_ger]

What other players? Are you encoding to HEVC or AVC 10 bit and your system codecs don't support it (but VLC does because it has its own decoders built-in)?

The built in windows 10 tv & movies app. It's always worked before and I was under the impression that MS had included h.265 support. I can play all of the older video files I've encoded so I'm wondering if I missed a prerequisite program or if something needs to be updated in windows... I'm encoding HEVC like I've always done, I'll double check my settings to make sure nothing was changed though.

If I try to run Ripbot standalone on the problem PC, it completes demuxing the audio stream, but while Demuxing the video stream I see Decoding Error. (but there is no indication anywhere what this error is)

any idea how to resolve this in batch mode?

[Atak_Snajpera]

I strongly recommend to keep original resolution. Upscaling DOES NOT magically add details to image like in C.S.I. show. You are just artificially increasing bitrate/filesize big time! Upscalers in TVs are already very good so upscalling before encoding makes zero sense in 2017.

PS. 1440x1080 in Blu-Ray , HDTV or Camcorder world is always 16:9, therefore RipBot264 automatically uses 16:9 aspect ratio.

[nekrosoft13]

original files are mpeg2 with huge bitrate, file size is 900-1000MB, re-encoded files end up looking better (thanks to noise removal) and are 200-300mb, so both bitrate and filesize drops.

Anyway, how can I stop it from assuming and actually just follow the correct AR?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Bitrate will be even lower if you keep original 720x480.

@Atak_Snajpera
I think I found an issue(s)...
In the #:\Temp\RipBot264temp\Job##\Chunks\CombineAllChunks.cmd file my install (latest updates, forced a recheck to be sure) I found that it is pointing to "vjoin_.exe"
When I looked in the vjoin folder I found only "vjoin.exe" I copied the vjoin and renamed it to the file it wanted.

Second issue is with remuxed BluRays anytime there is a sub file (even if I didn't select one to be muxed back in) the remux process is erroring out, see log:

It is looking for a *.IDX file when it shouldn't. SUP subs from BluRays don't have IDX files I thought. I checked with MKVExtract and I only get .sup files out.

Issue #2
Please tell me step by step what to do to force this bug.
I can send you a sample file but All I do is add the file > Setup HEVC/AVISynth settings > uncheck audio and don't check any subs just let it auto pick when doing batch (remux subs). After encode finishes and tries to mux is when it errors out.

Getting an error in the Avisynth Filter If I choose Mono Noise 2 - See screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/czdxzc5s1v51p8e/Unavngivet.png?dl=0

Using the newest 1.20.1 version.

[00-00]

Having an issue with audio in batch mode on version 1.21.0. When I batch add files they have no audio, either in the preview, in the encoding settings audio bar - it simply says 'No Audio', and the finished files have no audio either. if I add them manually one by one though they do have audio. I've tried earlier versions and they don't have this problem and audio works OK.

I have been using .m2ts files for this, hope someone can help!

:thanks:

[PetBel]

Since a few weeks I have Problems with RipBot (with local and distributed encoding), so i decided to make tests on a PC with a clean Windows installation and only RipBot and the needed Software on it. But I still have Problems.

Here is a step by step description:
- clean Windows 10 Installation with all updates
- Download ripbot 1.21.0 and install Avisynth from Tools Directory
- install latest Java and MediaSplitter
- Update Ripbot to 1.21.1 with auto updater

- add a m2ts file from a BD iso Image (I use one that i have already encoded with an earlier Version of RipBot, so I am sure the source is ok)

The result is an empty "New Job" window with the message "Decoding Error" in the top right Corner.

Is there any log I can check to get more information about what is wrong?

[JASAN]

Hi again Atak, Is this a false positive? Encodingserver.exe is prompting windows defender to put up a virus warning.

[Ryushin]

Just wondering if encoding 4K/UHD is possible? I know mkv does not have support for Dolby Vision, but it does for HDR10. Does RipBot264 pass through the HDR10 information to the MKV? What about passing through Dolby Atmos?

I have a UHD friendly drive coming today and about half of my 4K discs can be ripped. I'd like to start encoding them to put on my NAS. MakeMKV lets me convert the disc into a native file and AnyDVDHD is adding support to rip the discs to a folder.

Pretty excited to finally put my 4K discs up on my server.

[slalom]

@Atak
what about these errors?

FFVideoSource: No video track found
FFAudioSource: No audio track found

[Ryushin]

Just found out about chapterdb.org and I think it is a pretty cool idea.:
http://www.chapterdb.org

Atak, do think it's possible to integrate this into RipBot264? There is an API for it.

Ripped my first 4K UltraHD movie using AnyDVD and when I went to select the streams, the Blu-ray Structure box shows the video as blank.

https://s14.postimg.org/qzqoca99p/Blu-ray_Structure_Video_Blank.png (https://postimg.org/image/qzqoca99p/)

This is all so new everyone is still figuring how the 4K discs are working.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Send me whole UHD BluRay folder structure. Trim main movie and extras to reduce file size.

[Ronski]

Merry Christmas everyone!

I'll post this now otherwise I will forget, the move file option seems to have stopped working, I have the following option in my encodingclient.ini file but Ripbot is copying the file rather than moving it.

[hidden settings]
MoveFiletoSharedFolder=1

My last encode was done at the end of November and I'm sure that was fine - I would have noticed the long wait for the file to be copied.

I've also noticed that Ripbot doesn't check for sufficient disc space, my encode just stopped/hung and then I noticed there was zero disc space. In fact it had copied about 22GB of a 34GB file, so the copy had failed and then Ripbot just tried to carry on with the encoding instead of issuing an error

Edit: I should add I'm on version v1.20.1, not 1.21.0 as I thought, so I'll force an update later and see if the copy/move issue remains

[Danette]

I have demuxed m2v video files from mkv containers and have loaded them into RipBot264 via the batch function. When I click "Start", RipBot264 moves into a "Waiting for file..." mode that never ends. It waits forever. I wouldn't call it a freeze, since I can abort it. When I load the files individually, RipBot264 has no problem processing them.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Most likely file handle is still locked (function FileOpen returns 0 each time) by some other process.
From my code it looks like this


Repeat
FileHandle := FileOpen(inputfile, fmOpenRead or fmShareExclusive);
sleep(100);
until (FileHandle>0) or (Terminated=true) or (FileExists(inputfile)=false);
if FileHandle>0 then FileClose(FileHandle);


I've just checked on my machine with .m2v and file was automatically processed in automatic batch mode.

[Ronski]

Just updated to v1.21.0 and the file is still being copied rather than moved when using the [hidden settings] MoveFiletoSharedFolder=1 option

[Atak_Snajpera]

try this
[settings]
MoveVideoFiletoSharedFolder=1

BTW. That option is no longer hidden. You can change it directly in GUI.

[Ronski]

Thanks very much Atak fort the quick reply and update, that worked.

[Danette]

Happy New Year Atak,

Great work with ripbot as always.

I am getting a Green Screen in the AviSynth preview window running on 8.1, any ideas?

Thanks

I think you need to look at the demux for subtitle when it set the language.

If I choose Denoise: "KNLMeansCL" and leave the Mono Noise at its default value: 0 it disables "KNLMeansCL" - Well I dont see any lines under Denoise in the avs script. But If I use value 2 and above it shows up in the avs script. What is the point in value 0 if it disabled itself ?

Also is there an explonation of Mono Noise. Its value is from 0..32 in increment of 2. But I have no idea is 2 is enough of I should use 32... A little hint box to explain would be helpful. :)

Another Question
When I choose to Copy Stream (TrueHD) then I see it runs an audio script in my Video avs script.

#AudioSource
Import("E:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job3\job3_a1.avs")

in this script it does a few things with the audio. What is the reason to do so when I choose to Copy stream and not reencode audio ?

Audio script

#AudioSource

Not trying to make your app look bad, just pointing out things that might not be correct.

The muxing of subtitles when doing a batch job is not muxed in the correct order

Subtitle 10 is treaded as number 1 (First subtitle). Can you change this to keep the order of the demuxed subtitle.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I will take a look...

[soneca]

Since some versions RipBot264 does not recognize the media generated by Sony Vegas + Debugmode Frameserver.

https://s20.postimg.org/61hxwifot/ripbot.png

[Atak_Snajpera]

Debugmode frameserver does not have working x64 version. Too bad that this plugin is no longer in development :(
Ripbot264 since 1.21.0 is using exclusively 64bit encoding chain.

[soneca]

What the hell! So I get the version 1.19.5 that works 100% here.

[Danette]

I'm converting many TV shows that are NTSC 29.97 fps MKV's. Of course, these need to be IVTC'd, which RipBot264 generally handles well. However, about half of them have vfr (variable frame rate) and RipBot264 makes a mess of them (out-of-sync audio and duplicated video at the end to fit the audio). If I demux the MKV's, RipBot264 will correctly process the the video-only files. Is there a solution for this?

[squezer]

Since ripbot264 v1.21 is impossible to convert DVD into mkv.
AviSynth preview is green, so is encoded video. (like in post 15342 )
Or it cannot load 32bit mpeg2 decoder ( same decoder error as in post 15353 )

v1.20 working fine though.

Could you please fix it?

[slalom]

@Atak
Just a remind, I checked again some files with the version 1.22.0, and latest Avisynth+ r2580 (December 27, 2017)

I got these errors again

I've updated to v1.22.0 by downloading the whole zip file and for some reason every time after demuxing audio and indexing I end up with "Decoding Error" window

You have corrupted files. I don't even want to know where you get those video files from.

Yeah, you are right: fresh Windows 10 Pro on 2 PCs...

But I have only that and v1.20 is working OK with it.

Because soon or later we all will have only that, unfortunately...

Sorry but this kind of "bug report" is useless. How am I supposed to know what went wrong if you don't even bother to post whole error message?

That is the whole error message, I dont get anything else

Request:

- Is it possible to have the Encoding server to take the name of the computer its running on and send it to the Encoding client so I see my 3 machines in the encoding server listed with Computername and IP or the possibility to set a custom name.
- When you hit "Off" on a server, is it possible to ask user if they want to terminate it now and lose the current encoding or have it terminated after the current job has finished.

Yeah, you are right: fresh Windows 10 Pro on 2 PCs...

But I have only that and v1.20 is working OK with it.
Is there any chance to fix that behaviour also for that lovely Windows 10, please?
Because soon or later we all will have only that, unfortunately...

I know you used to tell "us" that Visual Studio 2015 is required, but Visual Studio 2017 is available, but from my experience, if you have 2015 installed, and then install 2017, the reference to 2015 in "Programs and Features" disappears, and only 2017 appears....

Your comment ???

[Atak_Snajpera]

You are right. It turns out that 2017 is a replacement for 2015.

[nekrosoft13]

this new intel security patches/bioses bullshit slowed down my 4k x265 10bit encoding from 18fps to 14fps...

[nekrosoft13]

Bitrate will be even lower if you keep original 720x480.

true, but that is not the issue at hand, I don't want it to assume and decide for me, if i select 1,33:1 (4:3) I want it to stay at that aspect ratio.

trying to find a work around.

[Wildfire]

this new intel security patches/bioses bullshit slowed down my 4k x265 10bit encoding from 18fps to 14fps...

That's probably a coincidence, as x264/x265 is not heavily I/O dependent and as such the performance impact should be minimal.

I've seen benchmarks with and without the patch and the performance impact fell within the margin of error for the benchmarks...

Check if AviSynth is correctly installed.

Open notepad and add these two lines and then save it as test.avs.

before the patch it would take hour and 5-10 to finish encode, now its about hour 20-30 minutes.

And the only thing that change was the 2018-1 culmative patch.

No, buddy, did not, i dont have a clue.

It is however the problem above version v1.20,
so i used the v1.20 to do a job for now,
for anything else than mpeg2 (dvd) v1.22 works OK for me.
so AtackSnipera is the only one to know, what is the problem...

EDIT:
i narrowed it down to DGDecode.dll x64 problem.
Is there anybody to check, if DVD mpeg2 is working in Win10 x64 with v1.22+, please?

"Java not recognized" problem.

I'm running as a standard user on Windows 10 x64. It's my machine and I also control the Admin account but run like this for security. Other than that my setup should be standard. And I have the same problem when I login as Admin, so I don't think that's the problem.
AMD Ryzen CPU.

I've downloaded and installed the latest RipBot264 v1.22.0.7. It finds my AVISynth and Haali installations, but not Java. I understand that RipBot264 needs the 32-bit version, and when I run command line "java -version" it says mine is 64-bit. BUT both C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_151 and C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_151 folders are present. So I think 32-bit Java is available.

The registry has the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft but that doesn't specify bitness, except for Chrome in which case it points to the (x86) Java folder (thereby accessing the 32-bit Java, I suppose).


SO - how is RipBot264 deciding that it can't access Java 32-bit?
Can I make this work by some environment variable change or other trick?


Thank you.

Hi, any way to convert HDR to SDR but with X265 (keeping 4k resolution)? I have a 4k non-HDR TV and will play back 4k HEVC SDR in MKV no problem.

Hi, any way to convert HDR to SDR but with X265 (keeping 4k resolution)? I have a 4k non-HDR TV and will play back 4k HEVC SDR in MKV no problem.

Atak added tone mapping to convert HDR to SDR in the last version. Though I think it only did this when encoding to AVC. For me, VLC 3.0 is able to do tone mapping playback for 4K HDR to display on two 4K monitors I have. I think Kodi is also adding support for HDR to SDR. So you might just need to use a different playback software.

Thing is, I was excited about the prospect of down converting 4K to to 1080p as I felt the increased quality with more pixels would be wonderful. However, finding out there is no perfect way for the color to be remapped from BT2020 to Rec.709, I will still be ripping the 1080p disks to make the HD copy and the 4K UHD to make the 4K copy. The day will probably come when you will no longer get a Blu-ray disc with the UHD disc, and on that day, I will be very grateful that Atak added the tone mapping conversion.

[byteshare]

Added: Automatic HDR information retention while encoding to HEVC format
Added: Automatic HDR to SDR tonemaping during conversion to AVC format
Any plans for an option like the AVC for HEVC? HDR to SDR and HEVC.
Might not really matter in a while though if VLC 3.0 is able to do tone mapping playback and if Kodi is also adding support for HDR to SDR.

[iSeries]

Atak added tone mapping to convert HDR to SDR in the last version. Though I think it only did this when encoding to AVC.

Yep only for avc, which is why i was asking for hevc. Like i said, this is for a 4k sdr tv that is able to playback sdr 4k hevc mkv files straight from usb.

I had a chunck that made FFMpeg crash and when I closed the FFmpeg crash dialog it finished encoding like it completed succesful. But when I open the log file I can see a mismatch between expected frames and encoded frames. Does Ripbots check and validate the log file for expected frames and encoded frames or else it could end up with skipping video because small parts is missing?

I had a chunck that made FFMpeg crash and when I closed the FFmpeg crash dialog it finished encoding like it completed successful.
I get this from time to time, what you need to do is stop (turn "off") the Encoding Server in the Encoding Client, close error, then start the Encoding server in the Encoding Client again, and it should encode fine. Worst case I've had to do this several times.

That said, since the switch away from avs2yuv.exe I am seeing less errors, but one of my machines struggles to get 100% CPU now, not sure why...I'll keep looking into it.

[GZZ]

I just finished the last peace manually. I was thinking if the encoding client could do it by itself by checking the log at the end of encoding a chunck. I did a local script to just check all the chucks log after encoding to make sure I didnt miss anything.

I only have 100% usage issue when using MDegrain2, then it wont go much over 50% on my Ryzen7 (8 core, 16 thread) CPU, so using two encoding servers on my Ryzen helps.

What should be a default behaviour in this case?
a) repeat encoding of crashing chunk endlessly
b) disconnect server

I only have 100% usage issue when using MDegrain2, then it wont go much over 50% on my Ryzen7 (8 core, 16 thread) CPU, so using two encoding servers on my Ryzen helps.
I unchecked in the settings the "Limit to following filters only" but on 1 pc I still don't get 100% usage with 2 servers, and on another PC I get 100% with only 1 server on encoding the same thing. I found the difference is using SMDegrain rather than SMDegrain3 (I don't usually use 2).

What should be a default behaviour in this case?
a) repeat encoding of crashing chunk endlessly
b) disconnect server
Should be turns off server, kills the ffmpeg connected to it (closes error), starts server again...should do this at least 10 times, but usually 1 more attempt is enough.

[GZZ]

What should be a default behaviour in this case?
a) repeat encoding of crashing chunk endlessly
b) disconnect server

it did work on first retry, so it might just have been FFMpeg crashing for other reasons then a bad input. But maybe have a Max retry in your settings and then it will fail to encode the piece. I think 2-3 retry should be default.

And then disconnect the server and let another server try to encode the piece and if it still fail, then error out on the entire movie.

[Dhry]

Absolutely outstanding software! Really loving the distributed encoding feature. I know others have asked for this before, but just throwing in my vote as well - PLEASE include drag and drop into the main and batch windows!

Hello Atak,

I recently installed the updated version of Ripbot264. Ever since, when I'm trying to encode, I get an error popup that says:

ffmpeg.exe has stopped working

Thoughts on how to correct this? Everything I look up online says it's an issue with firefox, but it only happens when I'm encoding.

Thanks

Would you please confirm what version you're on?
At wait point exactly are you getting the FFMPEG error?

For me in DE mode, turning the server off, closing the error and starting it again usually works, but on the most recent version there is a method that should be doing this automatically.

Because it would be time-saver. Because I can then have in one queue both... 4K HDR -> 4K HDR HEVC and 4K HDR -> 4K SDR HEVC jobs... now i must first do one, change setting, do other... quite disturbing.

Try updating to 1.22.1 since it has support for handing FFMPEG errors that previous versions did not.
Assuming you mean an FFMPEG error on the PC with the Encoding Client on it (manage the encoding servers)?
You said it happens on the encoding server to, do you mean just in the encoding log or an actual FFMPEG error popping up?

Is it possible to control the among of thread on each server using DE ?

I use 3 machines to encode some UHD disc. Ryzen 7 (8 core, 16 threads) and an old Intel Core I7-4770k (4 core, 8 threads) and a Core I7-6700HQ (4 core, 8 threads). The problem is that MDegrain dosnt like hyperthreading. I tried to encode a chunck manually using 8 or 16 threads on my Ryzen 7. 8 threads (video=Prefetch(video,8)) gave me 3fps, but with 16 threads video=Prefetch(video,16) it gave me half fps.

I can limit the number of threads to 8 when using MDegrain filter. But I would like to limit it to 4 threads on my Core I7-4770k and my I7-6700HQ. The temperary aproach is to set limit at 4 threads and then use 2 servers on my Ryzen. But it would be nice if I could specfify it on a server level, then I could mix more servers with differnt cores and still get the best out of them.

Update: Not sure its MDegrain. I think its MT part that dosnt run better when using the hyperthreads, looks like it runs faster with just using the among of threads that matches the core. Maybe too much waiting time between threads when using 16 threads.

Update2: Maybe just an option to only use real cores and not hyperthreading for the MT part of AVS script. It did run better and faster on all my machines with just limiting the number og threads to the actual number of cores on the cpu.

That doesn't work in the case of "Java not found", because the program won't go past that point. The GUI never opens.

@Atak_Snajpera
The trend is the same. Did a avsmeter test with Degrain2 on a UHD source.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 (1700x) (8C/16T) @ 3.8Ghz

MDegrain2 + Prefetch(16)

MDegrain2 + PRefetch(12)

http://i.cubeupload.com/2ADS0a.png

MDegrain2 + Prefetch(4)
http://i.cubeupload.com/PxXf2a.png

Look at the FPS Avg and avg CPU.

I think it scales different on a AMD CPU then on Intel.

Running with 8 threads gives me 100% CPU when doing a real encoding.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Interesting... I see the same performance drop on UHD as well

So I started ripbot and let it sit overnight, with my firewall disabled. The picture attached shows the screen I get. It never changed.

Do you have an idea on what the issue is or if its related to the MDegrain plugin or Avisynth MT just scales badly with that plugin ?

Hey Arbie...yep, that's how it works.

But if you open the Setting's tab (within Ripbot), and on the 1st main page. on the right hand side, the very top option is to use Auto Update...make sure that's checked/ticked, and you should then get ALL the updates that Atak posts.

One way to check if you have downloaded any updates after opening Ripbot, is check in the Updates folder.

If there's some files in there, the next time you start Ripbot, they will be installed (you see it doing this)

Cheers

I would not say that it scales badly. It scales quite well. Limiting prefetch value to physical cores should give more predictable performance in all resolutions.

[Balthazar2k4]

I am doing forced HDR to SDR and converting from 4k HEVC to 1080p AVC. No other filters are being used. I am on a Threadripper 1950x and am seeing ~10% utilization so my encode times for a 2 hour movie exceed 5 hours (roughly 9.75fps). What is the bottleneck here?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Probably tone mapping algorithm in ffmpeg. Resizing is also single threaded. Use DE mode with extra servers.

Indeed. Problem is when Im doing a DE encoding and the core count is different across my servers. If I could set the core count on server level or have a global flag to auto detect core count on DE servers. Then it would be perfect. :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

I've already changed that in my testing build.
Encoding server will reduce prefetch value according to detected number of physical cores instead of logical cores.
If you have auto-update enabled then you should get an update shortly...

Ps. make sure that all your PCs will be using updated encodingserver.exe

[Balthazar2k4]

Thanks Atak. I will try the suggestion shortly and report back.

UPDATE: Looks to be a ~40% improvement in speed. Went from around 9.75fps to 12.80fps. Not exactly setting the world on fire, but 3:50 beats 5+ hours any day of the week.

UPDATE: Turns out that last update was me accidentally doing an encode to HEVC. When re-tasked with AVC for the encode, the improvement looks like 9.75fps to 13.45fps. Surprisingly the HEVC and AVC encode speed are very similar when enabling the tone mapping process. Without tone mapping the difference in speed is quite appreciable.

[Balthazar2k4]

Is it possible to encode from a mapped drive in Windows? I store all of my movies on my NAS and I am currently copying the file to my local machine to encode it, but it would be so much more convenient to work the source file straight from my NAS. I know someone brought this up before, but I never saw a resolution.

Is there any reason why you do not use Distributed Encoding mode in order to get constant 100% usage?
Why 6 servers? Because I need 3 on my 8C/16T CPU to get ~90% usage with active tone mapping.

so any idea how to fix that green preview frame with DVD decoding?
It is mpeg2 codec to blame.
I fastracompressed source mpeg2 mov to Lagarith Lossless avi in VirtualDub FilterMod,
then it was ok in Ripbot264.

Thanks in advance.

I guess because I am an idiot and didn't even realize I could do DE on a single machine. I will try it later. :thanks:

UPDATE: Whoa! Now that is a difference. I went from 9.75fps to 53.65fps using a six server local DE. Now if I could just solve my mapped drive issue I would be in business.

I believe you it works on win7,
but I tried it on Win 10 pro x64 twice:
1. on my notebook, some i5 mobile CPU, 8G RAM, with integrated GPU only, win10 continuously upgraded
2. on my PC, freshly installed latest win10, i7-4790k, 32G RAM, Nvidia1060 GPU - updated drivers at least 3 times since I have noticed a problem.
Both cases lead to the same result.

Win10 + ripbot 1.21 = just doesnt work with mpeg2 - DVD VOB, mov etc. content

However, Win10 + ripbot 1.20 works with that content without any problem.

M$ has implemented some weird behaviour in win10. If application is run as administrator then mapped location is hidden. If you run the same .exe as regular user then mapped network location shows up!

Are you planning include the per-job choice of "Force HDR to SDR" option, as i was writting?

That is how my drive is mapped in Windows, but RipBot does not see the drive.

This was happening with three of my Windows 2012 R2 Server installations. This fixed it:

https://www.easeus.com/storage-media-recovery/mapped-network-drive-not-showing.html

Reboot after changing the key. I suspect that some programs are affected by this based on what tools/libraries they where compiled with.

I also have a machine that boots so fast, that I need to open up windows explorer and click on my drives before Ripbot264 will see them.

[GZZ]

If you are a user and not THE administrator, then when you run a job as administrator, then you only see the mapped network drives, that was mapped with the user Administrator. So let say you have created a user that is not the admin, but have admin rights. Then when you Run As Administrator it sees the network drived mapped when the administrator was logged in and not the current user. I dont know if this was the intention by M$ as its pretty wierd.

Solution: log in as the administrator and map the drive and then log in as your user and use the run as administrator, then you should see the network drive. At better solution is just BE the administrator if you are the only user on the computer then you dont have to use the Run As option.

What do you think of DeSpline36ResizeMT for downsampling a UHD disc (that was just an upscaled version (many UHD are not native 4k)) and scale it back to 1920x1080 event though 2K is at bit higher then full hd. its suppose to be better then just Spline36ResizeMT for this kind of job, not sure if its visible.

Gathering information from 53G 4K file takes ages.. :(

[Ryushin]

So I've been working Atak to find some kind of solution to hardcode/render subtitles for 10bit video. Unfortunately I have not found anything yet that will work. Someone posted that it works with Staxrip so I was going to go through and find out how they are doing it.

The recommendation by some were to render the subtitles using vsfilter's MaskSub property. From what I understand sot far, I would have to create the full movie length render sub over alpha and then do another encode and lay it over the film that I'm encoding.

My avisynth knowledge is very poor and I've only been digging into this stuff lately. From what I gather, avisynth+ has better support for 10bit but it is not a drop in replacement and it would probably take Atak a lot of work to implement (maybe for version 1.3?)

I'm wondering if anyone else has ideas on how to render subtitles for 10bit video that I have not discovered yet.

[Ryushin]

Someone posted that it works with Staxrip so I was going to go through and find out how they are doing it.

According to the change log, Staxrip appears to be using VapourSynth:
added support for hardcoded subtitles using VapourSynth for srt, ass, idx/vobsub, sup/pgs

I'll dig into that and see if that can be plugged into the avisynth script. From what I've just briefly read, it seems that VapourSynth is a replacement for avisynth.

Windows 7 is superior to Windows 10 in terms of predictability and stability. I'm not going to migrate to so called "modern Service10". If mpeg2 decoding works on Win7/8 but not on win10 then it means that stupid M$ broke something again in your "not antique" system. Windows 10 is and will always be never ending construction site. If you love so much win10 then please use last working version or use other better app.

I have a strange problem since some encodes.
Muxing fails, because there is no audio file.

Opening file D:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job2\Encoded_Audio_1.aac failed
Error importing D:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job2\Encoded_Audio_1.aac:lang=ger: Requested URL is not valid or cannot be found

This happens each time I encode to *.mp4 and AAC-Codec, regardless of source.
When encoding to *.mkv with other codecs, all is fine.

BUT!
While encoding, AAC-File is created.
And while RB still encodes Video, AAC (ready encoded) still exists and can be played without issues.
After muxing (with error) there is no AAC-File anymore.
So it must be deleted after encoding of audio and before shutdown (after job is finished).

Last encode I enabled write-protection after AAC-encode finished and this time muxing completed without errors.

I haven't changed anything at running system except automated CU of Windows10.
Other possible cause could be update of RB.

Edit:
Now am encoding a film with dtsma (preconverted to flac with ripbot) and destination mp4 with aac:
flac-file is there and plays fine, but this time no aac is created, no aac-encoding task in taskmanager.

Guys...turn off UAC completely in Windows 10 in the registry!!!! The first MUST DO THING after W10 installation. Check that...can cause problems.

[Wishbringer]

@jlpsvk:
Thats not the cause.
disabled = same behavior
started as admin = same behavior

[Wishbringer]

@Atak_Snajpera:
While searching for the cause of not created audio I just disabled "normalize".
Now audio is created and muxed.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Add pause to job1_EncodeAudio1.cmd and run it. Show me what you get. Maybe my script does not like your german version of windows.

[jlpsvk]

@Atak_Snajpera
Three things I would like you to implement.... :)

1) option to have "Force HDR->SDR to HEVC" "per job" not globally
2) option not to demux audio files when creating jobs - time consuming in case I want to use only video part...
3) when distributed encoding is enabled, video file indexing is done twice.. once when creating the job, once when starting encode, after copying the video file to shared directory...this is also time consuming, when using with 120GB 4K video file... indexing only after copying to shared folder makes sense to me. :)

Can't wait for you reply. :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

I can do only 1) for now and maybe 2) if I will have nothing to do in my spare time...

[jlpsvk]

Even 1) will be great. :)

Question: Why do you encode some movies as HDR and some as SDR?

[jlpsvk]

Question: Why do you encode some movies as HDR and some as SDR?

I want to do both..because some family members do not have HDR TV but have 4K (first models)...so i want to put it in one queue, not to do one, re-set settings and do other.

[guest]

You need more computers :), each dedicated to different settings.

[Atak_Snajpera]

So you what to do two encodes in one job? That's impossible!
I still think that current global method is easier. You create jobs. Encode in HDR mode. Then enable HDR to SDR conversion. Jobs are refreshed. Encode again.
Is this too much???

I still think that current global method is easier. You create jobs. Encode in HDR mode. Then enable HDR to SDR conversion. Jobs are refreshed. Encode again.

In one queue, not in one job!

Right now the setting is global. So all queued jobs will be encoded in HDR or all in SDR. I want to have more jobs, but one job HDR, one SDR. :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

But you do realize that you will have to create two jobs for the same movie? Isn't this more time consuming method?

[jlpsvk]

But you do realize that you will have to create two jobs for the same movie? Isn't this more time consuming method?

yeah...but then i can run about 10 jobs in one run, and cores will not be idling. :)

[Wishbringer]

Add pause to job1_EncodeAudio1.cmd and run it. Show me what you get. Maybe my script does not like your german version of windows.

pause
cd "E:\RipBot264v1.22.1\tools\ffmpeg\bin\"

pause

I added a pause each line, because when adding pause at the end, the window closed instant.
When first ffmpeg is tried to execute, dos-window closes without a comment.
Only happens when normalize is "ON".

[Atak_Snajpera]

Do something else. Start CMD.exe and then run job1_EncodeAudio1.cmd from console.

Ps. Do not add any pauses!

[GZZ]

There is a bug in the encoding server. If you have two or more instance open and need to close one of them or one of them crash, then closing it or killing it in task manager will raise a access violation error in the other encoding server and make them both crash.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Known bug since forever. Unfixable for now.

Fun fact: It crashes other servers only if server has lower port number :)
For example. You have two servers :1000 and :2000. Closing server with port 2000 will crash server below. However if you close server with port 1000 then server with higher port number does not crash. Mind blown!

Fresh install of Win 10 Pro, new download of RipBot264 (v1.22.0).

At first run of Ripbot: complains over missing Haali Media Splitter so I download and install it.

At second run: starts fine, I add a file for conversion and click OK. In the bottom of the app window progress info flashes by. Last text I see is "Gathering information.." then a more-or-less empty window opens saying "Decoding Error".

I've tried updating to v1.22.1 but the issue persists. What am I doing wrong?

In the file "test.log" the last line is "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs: Unknown error occurred"

Try using an image service as attached photos don't tend to get approved. Sounds like AVISynth might not be installed correctly. If you go the job (click on it) and click Edit > AviSynth > Preview Script does it work or do you get an error (might need to click play to see if you have an error).

Cropping manually in batch mode may be dangerous! You may easily crop to much!

[phred1]

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads


Sweet, that did it! Thanks!

[byteshare]

Cropping manually in batch mode may be dangerous! You may easily crop to much!
I completely agree, but when I'm working with a batch of file with all the same crop it is nice to have them uniform. Sometimes the auto crop decides to under crop as well.
Currently, I'm working with some old DVDs and I'd rather over crop by 2px then under...trying for a simple 4px on the left and the right.

Another question,
I've been generating time codes for variable frame rate files manually for a while then importing them back into the encoded file afterwards. I've seen at least one other application do this automatically but it isn't as awesome as RipBot. This comes up with cartoons generally older ones, and/or on DVD. Often they are trying to save work by having 1 frame stay for longer or slow frame rate in spots, etc...

A batch to add timecodes looks like:
FOR %%A IN (*.mkv) DO "..\mkvtoolnix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "..\output\%%A" --timecodes "0:%%~dpnA.mkv.avs_timecodes.txt" "%%~A"
AVISynth Script for exporting timecodes from a file looks like:
video0 = FFVideoSource("C:\FileName.mkv", timecodes="C:\FileName.mkv_timecodes.txt")

Don't know if you can export timecodes from the source from MKVMerge directly? Just thought about it for the first time lol.

One minor QoL suggestion: Add "HDR to SDR conversion" option to the New Job dialog. I like to queue up 4k and 1080p rips of the same content. Having to manually switch the option off after RipBot is done processing the 1080p versions limits how many jobs I can set and forget.

That only happen to me when FFMpeg crashed in DE mode, then it missed to encode the last few frames and that makes the audio out of sync. So if you use DE mode, then make sure all the parts have been encoded properly by checking the 1.txt, 2.txt.... in the chunks folder see if the among of encoded frames match the expected input frames.

I am taking EAC3 5.1 (for 3 of the files) and AC3 5.1 and encoding them down to 2.0 OPUS 64bit....just a fast encode since I can't easily have "no-audio" as an option when batching and "copy audio" takes up too much space for some DTS files when I let the computer run for weeks without deleting files. I know that I'm using EAC3 here and not DTS but it is more of a default setting in this case.

Does audio decoding work in "Preview Script" in this job23?

[iSeries]

byteshare is having the same problem as me (and wishbringer I believe). The muxing fails with that message because the audio job hasn't run (or wasn't successful for some reason) so the audio file doesn't exist. I am also downmixing to 2.0 if that helps.

[byteshare]

Does audio decoding work in "Preview Script" in this job23?
It is really choppy but I can hear audio...my filters are giving me a slow FPS.

Update: hasn't happened again with the last few encodes. I'd just like an option to not have audio selected by default when running a batch job, but that is because I'm used to having my audio done separately with a different program.

[GZZ]

I have a Dolby Atmos file from a UHD where FFIndex fails and the batch import failes with "No Audio Track Error"

The demuxed *.thd file is fine, but the FFindex file is only 73 byte.

1_audio_English.thd.ffindex 73

With a previous movie I removed the audio from the input mkv file and then manual muxed it afterwards. But is there anyway to fix this ?

[manson.reznor]

Many thanks for the job on ripbot264.

Ripbot264 works fine to recode UHD files keeping HDR.

But there is plan to add UHD Bluray output ?
Because I want to re-create UHD BD from 4K HDR files.

Also Cuda or AMD App will be supported for 4K HEVC encoding ?

I think CloneBD is perhaps what you are looking for. I don't think RipBot264 ever output Blu-ray disc structure (or DVD for that mater) format.

I think you will need some kind of Blu-ray UHD authoring software.

[manson.reznor]

CloneBD like DVDFab can only output 4K UHD structure from original structure - not from a MKV.

An I want to play recoded discs on any UHD players. I don't want MKV because compatibility on almost all UHD players...

Try to uncheck "Limit to the following filter" in settings and make sure "Use multiple processing threads" is set to 0 if not already.

If that dosnt improve speed, then try activate the Distrubted Encoding (DE) and start a second Client Server (you find the exe in ripboots folder), then it will run 2 instance of the encoder which should help you to max out your CPU.

ive added the encode to run on 12 servers as 6 just uses half of the cpu but no matter what i try i can not get 12 servers to be active encoding - is there somthing im missing

Are you recompressing audio? Is source audio True-HD?
Atak:
Sorry for the late response. Work has been quite overwhelming lately.
I am not re-compressing. I am using the core audio file as I want to keep the Dolby, DTS, or Atmos coding. See settings below:

[Viper714]

That only happen to me when FFMpeg crashed in DE mode, then it missed to encode the last few frames and that makes the audio out of sync. So if you use DE mode, then make sure all the parts have been encoded properly by checking the 1.txt, 2.txt.... in the chunks folder see if the among of encoded frames match the expected input frames.

GZZ:
I must apologize first as I am a noob when it comes to in-depth encoding details. I do not use DE mode (I think this means Denoise). I am able to find the .txt files, but where can I find the "expected input frames" count to see if it matches?

DE is Distrubuted Encoding and the txt file I talk about you will find in the chunck folder, not the interface. But if your not using DE, then forget about it.

Ahh!! Okay I do use Distributed Encoding (DE). So I looked at the file "DE_log_pass1.txt and found the following

So if I add the chunks encoded by each machine I get 125. When looking in the "Chunks" folder, it starts from 1 and continues sequentially to 125. All of the chuck numbered files "###.264" range from 19,699 through 180,271.
So I guess this is good as it does not show any missing chunks.

The problem before the FFMpeg fix, was incomplete chuncks. Lets say you have chunck 4 and it crash midway, then it would only have encoded like 40% of the expected frames in the chunck, but before version 1.22.1 it would assume the chunck was completed and when it merge them all together the audio would go out of sync after this incomplete chunck. I normally just check the complete file and see if audio is in sync for the last part of the movie and if so, then everything should be fine.

So I check both video files and the delay is the same at the beginning and at the end of the movie.

Thanks Atak. Going to try this version to see if the audio sync issue goes away. BTW how will the Skip Demuxing affect my encoding? Will it still encode the movie (Blu-ray) properly? Is demuxing necessary under certain circumstances?

[guest]

Hi Atak,

A substantial update :)

Noticed that you have now included Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017 x86 & x64 (in the AviSynth folder, under Tools).

So running "Install.cmd" now installs both AviSynth & VC. Does this have to be done manually ??? (mainly referring to a fresh setup)

Also interested in your reply to Viper714's question about demuxing...

Cheers

[Atak_Snajpera]

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017 will be installed automatically if necessary.
Skip demuxing basically means "Do not demux audio/subtitles" ;) I don't remember now but some of you requested this option.

[Viper714]

Atak,
So I converted 3 movies and the audio sync is fine. So I decided to convert MI2 (Mission Impossible 2 - the file that gave me the problem) and I have the same issue (audio out of sync). Here is a link to an an excerpt of the video.
MI2 (http://www.mediafire.com/file/2ey278sv44b3k91/MI-2_0001.mkv)
Not sure what to do. I had the same issue with MI3. Tomorrow I will try that movie again.
Thanks for the demux question!!

[Atak_Snajpera]

Looks like simple audio delay -250ms fixes a/v sync. Please verify for each movie in PREVIEW SCRIPT before encoding!

Btw. MPC-HC will crash if width is not divisible by 16 in preview script! Resize to common 1920x800.

Updated to newest version 1.22.2 and added a few movies using the batch mode, setting Color Pri to BT.2020. But in DE mode it encode a HDR movie in BT.709. I even tried to stop encoding and making sure its BT.2020 and still keeps encoding in BT.709. So something isnt working.

It is HDR, tried several UHD movies and the symbol is on.

I know there is a few UHD movies in SDR (Stranger Things is one of them), but this is not one of them. I can upload a screenshot later today to prove it and also post the mediainfo file.

One thing I also noticed and your screenshot proves it, is why does it set Color Pri to BT.709 when the HDR symbol is one, shouldnt it be default to BT.2020 when its HDR ?

Im sorry for wasting your time. I found the issue, I had a movie added in the queue from previous version of ripbots (1.22.1) and I then updated the application and tried to encode the already added movie and that didnt work out as it should.

So after a bit more testing I ended up removing the movie and added it again and this time it worked as it should.

Both worked after encoding them to H.264 RF0 in HandBrake

Side note: moving an encode up 400 positions (not wanting to turn everything else off) is a lot of work. Some better queue management would be the last thing I think RipBot is missing IMO.

Not soon. You can use older version. This is just a muxing tool not x265 encoder. You won't get smaller files ;)

Hi Atak, the audio job not running issue I have seems to be permissions related. If I run the job as administrator it runs and completes fine. What permissions need to be set and where for the job to run automatically? (I am an admin so not sure why the issue...thats Win10 for you...)

[Atak_Snajpera]

I'm too old for chasing another rabbit...
Sorry but I lost patience to win10 and his stupidity...

Ps. If you run ripbot264 as administrator then all started processes by ripbot264 should also get admin right from his parent. At least this is how this works on good "ancient" win7.

[FuzzyNutz]

Adding the ability to manually enter "name" information for video, audio and subtitle tracks within RipBot264 (RB) would be an asset.
This feature could be further enhanced by adding combo boxes with user-definable text strings for track names. This user-definable content should remain intact when RB is updated.

Removing limitations on the quantity of demuxable audio tracks from BD structure sources as well as the quantity of selectable audio tracks to be contained in the output file would be an asset.

Enabling output file names with periods (.) would be an asset.

RB’s “Automatically” setting for video cropping is capable of detecting the difference between pixels with desired video vs black. Could similar capability be implemented for RB’s “new frame” selector?

[Atak_Snajpera]

RB's default pixel height for 720 video in 1.85:1 ratio is "692". The exact height, by my calculations, should be 693.333. I manually change the number to 694, because it seems closer to the correct height. Could you/should you correct this?

1280 / 1.85 = http://i.cubeupload.com/xd1T57.png

[Atak_Snajpera]

1920/1040 = 1,846
It is not even a perfect 1.85:1.

It should be 1920/1038 = 1,849

[Atak_Snajpera]

How do you know that original frame is not streched from perfect 1,85:1 to 1920x1040? Most likely they use 1040 instead of 1038 because 1038 is not divisible by 16 (magic number in video world)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Same way you don't know it isn't.

So how are you going to convince me that your method is correct and mine is not?

[FuzzyNutz]

I see lack of logical arguments ... I'm going to stop here. Have a nice day.

For resolution reducing encodes of non-standard crop ratio videos, like the BD vers of the movie "The Hateful Eight" @1920x700, RB doesn't offer a precise ratio-maintaining option. Users have to calculate it. Some might not know how. Especially considering the reduction factor determinate varies from width for most videos to height for others. Examples: 1920x1080 cropped to 1920x1016 requires 1280/1920 x 1016 to calc the height for 1280x678 (1280x677.333) or 1440x1080 cropped to 1436x1064 requires 720/1064 x 1436 to calc the width for 972x720 (971.729x720). In my 1st example, (1920x1016) the width determines the res reduction factor. In my 2nd example, the height determines the res reduction factor. In both examples I maintained the cropped source ratio while reducing the res to 720. RB should have an option for auto step-down to any standard res (1080, 720, 576, 480 etc.) while maintaining precise ratio of cropped source. Like my examples, RB would have to identify whether the width or height determines the reduction factor.

If you implemented this, users wouldn't need to calculate the pixel height or width for any res step-down while maintaining cropped source ratio.

[slalom]

Reducing a 1080 source in 1.85:1 ratio to 720 gives you 1280/1920 X 1040 = 693.333333
1.85 is not accurate enough for 4 digit pixel calculations.
So, let me understand, you're talking about a difference of 693.3-691.9=1.4 pixels in height?
Who can see that??

On the other hand, comments about audio tracks and subs is a nice feature even if I have to edit the info manually

[iSeries]

Hi Atak, just realised boost center channel when downmixing to stereo option is gone in the latest version, did this get moved somewhere else or was it removed?

Hello Atak

about 3-4 days ago I started getting this message, all the time...

when I start ripbot and press start it, it works for first job, just fine
job is finished, it combines chunks, it muxes it together and done

second job starts, it copies video track, it indexes, then it starts preparing chunks, and that message pops up, it pops up ALL the time on second job, never on the first.

I have to click abort, kill the encoding client in task manager, and click start again, and then it works just fine again, until the next (second job) starts, and bam the error happens again.

For those of you trying to post images on this site, it will not or ever get approval. You need to place the image on a online image repository and then paste the link in your post so it will show.
I use photobucket (http://www.http://photobucket.com/). You can create a FREE account and then upload your images to this repository. After uploading you can copy the "Direct Link" and paste that "link" in your post or you can copy the IMG code and paste directly. So to help explain this a little better, here is a YouTube LINK (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xRXezQkV4w)for a quick tutorial. It is a little bit old, but you should be able to find the same functionality in the latest version.

Does E:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\Encoded_Audio_1.aac exist?
What happens if manually execute EncodeAudio.cmd?

Just checked both...

No it doesn't exist, so where did this entry come from, and due to that, the .cmd doesn't do anything :(

It will be easier and faster if you send me whole job folder. (without those large files ofcourse)

Hi Atak,

Thanks so much for looking into this, I guess it was a "bug" of some sort.

So I have just finished doing a test after the new update, and I still had the original 13 job queue in place, as I had only done 3 before stopping due to the error.

So I didn't re load a new queue, instead I tested job 5, and it still errored, I had to re load job 1, as I deleted a few files from that when I rar'ed it up to send to you, and it worked to completion.

So I will reload the whole queue again, and it should be fine.

I'm still running Windows Server 2016, haven't quite finalized my Windows 7 situation, yet, but your Image Tool is doing a good job :)

Another thing I would like to mention again (referring to some PM's I sent you), I still don't think the Abort function works as well as it used to, when you could abort from the DE window.

Sure it abort's, after a short "think", but I don't have any luck with the job resuming from where it left off. :(

Anyway, it might work properly under W7.

Cheers

And thanks for your constant support of this great program you've created :)

Hi Atak,

I can confirm that the Abort not always work as it should. Some time you press Abort and nothing happen, DE window keep running. Killing it in task manager makes the application to abort.

Pressing abort doing initialization (copy Video file in DE window) also dosnt work as it should.

He ran Prime95 for about 3 hours no issues for CPU. Ran HeavyLoad test for RAM, no issues. I'll have him update AVISynth.
AVISynth update didn't help
Also try with simpler x265 command line...
Will have him try this now. The issue isn't happening with StaxRip, not sure what is exactly different but I know there are lots of differences between the two, for example RipBot is better :D

Just tryed Another Movie with DE Mode Active in settings...

Fist off, it demuxes the *.mkv without subs (I choose all subs) and no Sound at all, even thou I have choosen to keep DTS-MA as first choice and DTS track as second.
(the *.mkv has DTS-MA and DTS tracks + 6 subtitles)

That´s DE Mode for me! *EDITED*

just tryed without DE Mode, and no sound or subtitles are avalibe after demux!!! :/

Please help!

[MerolaC]

Atak, is there any chance that for the next release you add a lossless output for x264?
--qp0?

Thank you in advance!

[sneaker_ger]

It's --qp 0

But is this not possible with the current version? Instead of --qp 0 you can also use --crf 0 (8 bit encoding) or --crf -12 (10 bit encoding), I believe RipBot calls it "CQ".

[MerolaC]

Thank you for your comment.
Yes, I mistyped there the switch.
I will check.
But, i don't think crf is the same as qp 0.

Remove current ripbot264 and download again v1.22.0.

[MerolaC]

I realized that I can just modify the job1_EncodeVideoPass1.cmd script.
Thank you.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I think you can force --qp 0 in profile.

[MerolaC]

I think you can force --qp 0 in profile.

Yes, you can, but the cfr switch stays there and i think it overides the qp one.
Still, since I can modify the cmd, it's not problem.

Thank you Atak!

[sneaker_ger]

But, i don't think crf is the same as qp 0.
Result is the same whether you activate lossless encoding via --crf or --qp. Only to keep in mind that during 10 bit encoding --crf 0 is not lossless, only --crf -12.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Yes, you can, but the cfr switch stays there and i think it overides the qp one.
Still, since I can modify the cmd, it's not problem.

Thank you Atak!

No --QP switch in profile will override --CRF value in gui.

Got it to both.
Thank you!

@Atak_Snajpera

I did that just now, Remux works again and then I tryed a DE Mode with 2 servers.

RipBotx264 started copying "Please wait.....copying video file to shared folder...", is that something it should do when "Move video file to shared folder (not recomended)" is NOT ticked?

Windows 7 SP1 x64 Professional, or Ultimate, should support most modern hardware.

[PreLimit3r]

Hi.I have a little problem with HEVC profiles.Everything works fine when I encode with default Main10 or Main8 progressive profile,but when I want to tune preset with Slow and Animation option I got an error.Can you tell me what's wrong?

[Ryushin]

I just wanted to write again about the bug that replaces a job if your editing or setting options for a newly demuxed job during the combining/muxing phase. The job that is being muxed will have it's job number and title changed to the job that is being edited. Stopping Ripbot264, editing jobs.list and manually fixing the replaced line with the correct job number and the name brings the job back after starting Ripbot264 back up.

[JASAN]

Sorry if this is the wrong place Atak and everyone else, Your program has worked very well for years, thank you for your effort in creating it.

Would you be able to recommend or create an easy to use program that would edit mp4 metadata, specifically adding the cover images to existing files?

Ripbot works for new encodings of course. But I have about 10,000 mp4s I've made that I would like to add this data to. All tv seasons so they would only need the same cover for each season. (I travel where there is no streaming for weeks at a time)

I'd pay good money for a program that can do this :-)

Thanks in advance, Have a good one.

Just in case anyone is asking how am I bringing this data around, Its easy, Run twonky on a tall Intel NUC with 2.5tb internal storage and two tiny 4tb WD drives :-). VLC on tablet/phone for playback.

Normally RipBot 1.22.0 generates me a file job9.avs which contains a line:

video=Import("P:\photo\Scans\Edited sRGB\PhotoDirList.xml.smil.avs").ConvertToYV12(matrix="rec709")

Today there was an auto update and afterwards the generated line is:

video=Import("P:\photo\Scans\Edited sRGB\PhotoDirList.xml.smil.avs")

which causes the encode to fail.

My solution is to disable Auto Update and do a reinstall of RipBot and everything works again.

Just curious, what version / build were you running before the update than "ruined it all" ??

You mentioned 1.22.0, should be 1.22.2..with a Ripbot.exe build date of 28/03/18.

Have got avisynth up to date (in Tool's folder)

I currently run 1.22.0, downloaded from first page of this forum.

Yesterday I was running 1.21, than there was an automatic update, which caused problems.

Then I downloaded 1.22.0 and it worked again. Today in the morning everything worked, at noon there was an automatic update which caused problems.

Of course, but normally RipBot264 never needed this, so I thought there was an error in RipBot. I have many (>100) such AVS files which would all need editing now.

Hmm, still don't understand why you're a few versions behind...there's been approx 10 auto update's since the initial release of 1.22.0, and you should be running 1.22.2, at least.

If you did "re install" 1.22.0, then ran auto update's, you should have got a LOT, and ended up with the very latest build, 1.22.2. After a re start.

You do realize that it only "look's" for & installs update's every time the program is started ??

Atak needs to post a later build on the 1st page....

To be more precise

1. I am running 1.22.0 (with auto update disabled) as downloaded and everything works.

2. I enable auto update, and restart RipBoot.

3. At start auto update is done, and it shows 1.22.2, I restart 1.22.2

4. I add a new job. Adding works without error.

5. I start encode of job and get error message.

Error is consequence of missing Convert in RipBot generated jobx.avs file.

If you look at screenshot you see BT.709 in color primaries. Normally this field says AviSynth.

Clearly RipBot changes behavior after auto update.

Well, there must be something wrong somewhere else, 'cause I am running the very latest updated build, and it's all working well, on Windows Server 2016.

And just a heads up, attaching anything on this forum rarely gets cleared to open, so you either need to upload it a file sharing site, and paste the url, then it can be view, and or downloaded.

Or, paste a screenshot directly "on here"....

Hello to All,

Great work as usual, thanks for Windows 7 Updater.

Unrelated question: I am trying to run DE in a VM with multiple vCPU. Will RipBot DE client run on Windows Server?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Windows is Windows.

[silverback]

Windows is Windows.

Thank You I will look into this.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I remember that some user even used some extremely stripped down version of windows for DE mode. WinPE (without taskbar!) or something like that. I don't remember now. It was couple years ago...

[Ryushin]

I think I found a bug with the Normalize function if Temp drive is something other then C:

The jobXX_EncodeAudio1.cmd command has the cd line to change in the beginning to change to the tools\ffmpeg\bin directory. Since my Temp is D:, this did not work. Adding C: to the beginning of the script allowed the command to work correctly.
Then running jobXX_MuxFiles.cmd allowed the job to complete.


BTW, I like the use of the *nix shell commands. So very useful.

Thank You I will look into this.

I have a PC that is using a VPN, which creates two networks.

I can ping the 192.xxx.. address.

Is there anything I can do to get this working, or am I out of luck if I need this Encoding Server to be on a VPN?

You could try to delay encoding server start. You can do that in Task Scheduler.

I've found, as long as the machine running the encoding server can reach the pc hosting, you shouldn't have a problem.

go to file explorer, and type in from the computer that is not working \\computername to make sure you can see the ripbot share that it creates.

could be a username permissions thing too, don't forget that part.

Yup, was a password/username issue. I usually use .\username for the username but in this case I just needed to put the full computername\username this time...not sure why but it works.

Hiho. I am totally amazed by this Program, especially from the Distributed Encoding Feature. Thanks a lot.
I have some questions for 2 Issues i was unable to solve or find a solution.
1.) I there a way to tell Ripbot to index all files which are included in a Source MKV File? Example. When adding a MKV File in Ripbot with 2 HD Audio Tracks (True-HD or DTS-Master) only the first audio track is indexed. When i am selecting the second audio Track i have to wait until Ripbot has finished to index it before i can change any other value. While doing Batch Encoding this i really annoying. It would be better if Ripbot is doing it directly when it creates the Jobs. Is there a way to enable this?
2.) I was unable to do a x264 Encode with OpenCL Acceleration when using Intel Integrated Graphics. I have 2 Workstation, one with a i7-3770k and one with a i7-4790. On both Ripbot is doing an encoding only if Acceleration is disabled. I tried several different drivers, but none was working. I always get an unknown OpenCl Error. Any Ideas, I also tried to install the Intel OpenCl SDK but it won't work. If this would work, i could use DE Mode on 3 Machines, at the moment i am only using 2 after i installed a GTX 260 i one of my Workstations and that thing is loud :-)

Thanks a lot.

Greets Seb

[Atak_Snajpera]

1) good idea. I will see what I can do.
2) Unfortunately I have Intel CPU without iGPU so I won't be able to help you in this case. Post whole error message so maybe other users here will be able to help you with this issue.

Encoding terminated.


Connection Closed Gracefully.

Maybe someone has an Idea.

Another Question.
In DE Mode, would it be possible that every Machine has a different Setting for the OpenCL Acceleration and the Encoding Servers are using the Setting of the Machine they are runnig on? With the actual Ripbot Version the Settings of the Host Machine will be used for every involved Server and overrides the Setting of the local machines running the Encoding Servers. If this would work it would be a Solution for the Intel Graphic Problem.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Intel's iGPU has been always a joke. I guess that iGPU is too old/weak or has bugged driver for this task.

[byteshare]

I see there were updates to the core, mkvtoolnix, mvtools, and plugins_JPSDR. Any thing we should notice?

On short clips the autocrop in batch mode is sometimes getting stuck, not sure why.
Update: sent a PM with an example video that fails for me.

[byteshare]

Have you ever seen footage encoded as 23.976i,24i,30i and so on?

PAL is either 25i or 50p
NTSC is either 29.97i or 59.94p


Medium seems to be less blurry and without some artefacts

MEDIUM

SLOW (notice artifacts on stairs and on the roof of the black VW Golf. Grass and wall on left is also slightly blurrier)

You wouldn't by chance still have these images? I was trying to help someone with QTGMC and they were saying:
I used QTGMC slow for Wentworth Season 1 and it's come out pretty good and clean. Since mentioning that medium is better than slow, ran a test clip on both slow and medium. Got better size, bitrate, and quality with slow.
Also banding was present in the medium but not slow, could of probably be countered with another filter but would increase the time of encode but who knows

[Privateer5000]

Added: Automatic pre-indexing of all audio streams after demuxing


Does not work. For the second Audio Track an Index File is created, but it has a Size of 1kb. It is first being indexed when selecting the Track in Ripbot.

Hi Atak,

For those of us that use DE all the time, it might be handy if there was a small display that showed what Job # was being processed.

Maybe in the top border of the DE Window...

eg:- Distributed Encoding is currently processing Job # XXX.

Is 1.23.0 available somewhere? The updater is not picking it up.

Yet, it appears it didn't update me to 1.23.0.

UPDATE: Apparently the solution is to just keep running the updater... eventually it kicks in. I am on 1.23.0 now.

[Balthazar2k4]

I have an issue with one of my UHD BD rips and the TrueHD/Atmos audio. For whatever reason Ripbot is just not liking it.

http://i.cubeupload.com/CPCM7F.jpg

I have ripped the disc with MakeMKV same way as all of my UHD BD discs and of the thirty or so I have converted this is the only one giving me grief. I even went so far as to re-rip it in the hopes maybe there was an error with the first rip. Any ideas?

EDIT: Spoke too soon. Same thing just happened with Cars 3.

EDIT: Add Coco to the list too.

EDIT: Here is the MediaInfo for Baywatch.

[Balthazar2k4]

Looks like I ran into another problematic disc. Brawl in Cell Block 99 is not in HDR, but a 10-bit encode (BT.709). Ripbot is reporting that it is HDR (BT.2020) and causing some crazy blown out video as a result. I have gone and turned off the BT.2020 to BT.709 tonemap option manually. I am awaiting the result.

UPDATE: Ripbot stalls if I disable tonemapping. Not too sure what is going on here.

[guest]

I would like to chime in about this "new" tonemapping option.

I used it for the first time today, and I had a x265 1080p to run thru, and it's default was the BT.2020 to BT.709 setting (the only other option is no tonemapping).

Anyway, with the default settings I let it run thru, and the playback was horrible, the colors & contrast, etc were just awful.

So I ran it thru again with no tonemapping, and there's no picture at all, it's just a black screen with audio :)

Might have to "downgrade" to the previous build...it all worked a treat.

Could "we" have 3 options ??? no tonemapping, BT.2020 & BT.709 (not that I know what these numbers mean)

[guest]

Just got the latest auto update....

That handy little addition in the DE window....NICE :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

I would like to chime in about this "new" tonemapping option.

I used it for the first time today, and I had a x265 1080p to run thru, and it's default was the BT.2020 to BT.709 setting (the only other option is no tonemapping).

Anyway, with the default settings I let it run thru, and the playback was horrible, the colors & contrast, etc were just awful.

So I ran it thru again with no tonemapping, and there's no picture at all, it's just a black screen with audio :)

Brawl in Cell Block 99 is no longer being identified as HDR after the update. I am encoding now and will report back the results. Thanks Atak for the quick resolution on the issue.
UPDATE: Encode turned out great! Problem solved.

Any idea about my audio issue? Strangely when I tried to break down one of the films to provide a sample, the sample worked. So I tried remuxing the whole film to see if that helped. The whole film remuxed still does not work.
When I look in the test file for the job I see this:

[avisynth @ 0000025e2cd3d100] FFAudioSource: No audio track found
(C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job2\getinfo.avs, line 4)
C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job2\getinfo.avs: Unknown error occurred

The audio track is in the directory, but FFAudioSource is not recognizing it, yet MediaInfo correctly recognizes it as a TrueHD/Atmos track. This file plays fine on all of my end devices and PC so I really don't think it is the file itself.

In the interim I have started remuxing the questionable titles without audio and running them through RipBot and remuxing the final product. Works, but a definite pain. Fortunately I don't have many (yet) with the issue. I have completed 52 encodes and have 214 to go with 3 titles not working properly.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Maybe there is something unusual at the beginning or end of that audio track.

Well, I'm sorry to report that this movie must have a unique problem, I still have the same problems, after the current update.

Where, using BT2020-BT709, the video is awful, and using No Tone Mapping, I get a black screen.

The only way I knew how to "fix" it, was to run it thru Handbrake, converting the x265 back to x264, with basic audio settings, then afterwards, running it thru Ripbot again, with the default settings, which I think had changed to No Tone Mapping, and the end result was good :)

If you would like me to send you a sample of said movie, please refresh my memory on how to do a small "grab" of the original.

Hi. In version 1.23 I'm missing the "x264LowPriority" - setting. If I set it to "1" in the .ini it gets reset. Within the RipBot-Settings I can't find it.
I'm currently testing the golem-network which should get the CPU - power it needs so ripbots encoding show be at low priority.

I know I can change it manually from taskmanager but I have several encodings which should run over night and every job would start a new x264-process which then would run with normal priority.

[byteshare]

I completely agree, but when I'm working with a batch of file with all the same crop it is nice to have them uniform. Sometimes the auto crop decides to under crop as well.
Currently, I'm working with some old DVDs and I'd rather over crop by 2px then under...trying for a simple 4px on the left and the right.

Another question,
I've been generating time codes for variable frame rate files manually for a while then importing them back into the encoded file afterwards. I've seen at least one other application do this automatically but it isn't as awesome as RipBot. This comes up with cartoons generally older ones, and/or on DVD. Often they are trying to save work by having 1 frame stay for longer or slow frame rate in spots, etc...

A batch to add timecodes looks like:
FOR %%A IN (*.mkv) DO "..\mkvtoolnix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "..\output\%%A" --timecodes "0:%%~dpnA.mkv.avs_timecodes.txt" "%%~A"
AVISynth Script for exporting timecodes from a file looks like:
video0 = FFVideoSource("C:\FileName.mkv", timecodes="C:\FileName.mkv_timecodes.txt")

Don't know if you can export timecodes from the source from MKVMerge directly? Just thought about it for the first time lol.

@Atak_Snajpera
Do you already have a variable frame rate solution in RipBot?

[guest]

I'm having a bit of an issue, when using DE.

It's kinda random, but towards the very end of an encode, one or maybe 2 "chunk's" stop being processed, and when I try to stop the particular server that is processing that chunk, it won't, or worst case it will abort the whole process, and start the next Job.

But if you don't attend to it, it will continue "forever" and not get anywhere :(

Is there someway, that the server's or chunks can be "refreshed", or a warning, if a "stall" happen's. ???

Yes, I guess you could say that the Encoding Server just stop's processing a particular chunk(s)...it's doesn't really freeze or lock up, it just doesn't complete the chunk(s), and therefore, doesn't complete the job.

But you can't stop the server that is processing the stalled chunk.

It's only random, but that's the pain of it...if you don't check it every so often, it could be "sitting" there for hours :(

All my encodes are still in x264, as I have no easy method of playing x265/HEVC content atm...planning on getting 4K TV, soon.

That's the problem, the chunk isn't completed, and as a consequence, the whole job doesn't get completed, so no, nothing can play it.

It seems my explanation isn't being understood the way I would like it to be, so if or when it happens again, I will get the mobile phone out, and take a short video of it and send it thru. That will show what it does.

Like I've said, it's random, and more often than not, the next time I encode the same Job, it completes without error :sly:

Stay tuned :)

And on a slightly different subject, how come you chose MPC-HC as the default viewer ??? Wouldn't VLC have worked ??

Thanks for looking into it.
I've resolved it by removing the "x264LowPriority" - entry from the RipBot264.ini instead of setting it to "1" and now these processes starting in low-priority-mode. So it seems to be a leftover which were not deleted in an update-process.

[byteshare]

@byteshare
no.

If you'd like to add support for variable frame rates the time codes is a very good method in my opinion and I've even used it to save encodes that showed no issue but for some reason the frame rate was off for the encoded file as compared to source (to fix audio sync issues).

I don't know of a draw back of always using the time codes from the source other than for me it takes more manual time to generate them and mux them in.

I'll watch for that. Though I think I have plenty of memory:

8 core Ryzen desktop with 32GB of memory, one DE server.

[Ryushin]

Does this happen only on that particular machine? What happens if you start EncodingClient on Ryzen or Dell pc?

The ffmpeg errors are happening on all the machines. I did not test moving the EncodingClient to a different machine as all of the jobs are on this one machine. The three servers all have ECC memory so I know it is not a memory problem. The encode is going slow with the EncodingServer showing .5 fps on the Dells, .3 fps on the Opteron, and 1.25fps on the Ryzen. So just over 5fps with four servers. The ffmpeg errors happen usually several times every hour and I have to keep clicking "ON" on the EncodingClient to start up that EncodingServer again.

I might create a specific job on one of the Dells as there is just enough disk space available to hold the 4K movie that is giving me the most grief right now. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, 91GB rip. I'm using the default H.265 10bit Progressive profile, MDegrain2 thSAD=200, and rendered .ass subtitles for the entire film.

Something else that looks like it might be a bug in the demuxing process, the extracted subtitles time values are off if the subtitle came from a mlps with multiple m2ts files. Each m2ts file results in the subtitles from that file indexing from 0 seconds and not from the end of the previous m2ts length. So the sup file has several sections starting from 0 and the resulting subtitles are off.

I'll send a PM with the extracted sup file and the BDInfo for the 4K Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

Hi Atak,

I am having a lot of trouble with the audio on a collection of Bluray disc's from my neighbour....

I haven't done any direct Bluray's rip's thru Ripbot in years, and I'm puzzled why this is happening.

As you know most BR's will have DTS in some form or another, and after having ripped them with AnyDVD (which I am having problems with, also), once it's all been loaded into the job screen, the audio is shown to be PCM...(even tho it shows DTS in the audio path window) can't seem to change that, so after the encode is complete, there's basically no audio, a little bit of background sound, but the main audio (speech, etc) is so muffled, you can hardly hear it.

Any ideas ???

However, it is actually working in the background. I leave it alone for a few and the window becomes active showing all the chunks created and begins encoding. Just wondering as to others it may appear that the program may have crashed, but in reality it has not.

For some reason Server 2012 R2 just in the last day (no updates where installed) starting giving me a blue ribbon across the screen "This app can't run on your PC" when running eac3to. This occurred when adding a job or running it manually. Downloading eac3to v3.34 got rid of the error when running it manually and I copied it over the eac3to in the tools folder and everything worked again.

Would not surprise me in the slightest if Microsoft pushed out a silent update to Windows Defender or something similar that broke this.

@Atak_Snajpera:

Just a thought about DE...
At moment DE client starts a job, creates chunks and so forth and THEN starts distributing jobs to servers.
In the time when client is preparing DE-Session servers are idle.

When having several jobs in pipe this leads to some downtimes of servers.

Why not preparing future jobs (or at least one of them) in the meantime while servers working on current job?
Not at high priority (so servers can act at full speed), but fast enough that preparation is done when current job is finished,
so that servers can switch to new chunks without downtime.

Time saving would be marginal. In other words. Too much work for too little benefit.

[byteshare]

Time saving would be marginal. In other words. Too much work for too little benefit.
Would there be a way to start a second job while one is finishing?
For example I have 4 servers. when down to the last two chunks the idle servers could start the next job.
I can see some cases this would be a marginal benefit but I know there are cases this could save a non-marginal amount of time with very slow encode jobs, and would also help in those rare cases that a server gets stuck starting a job and I come back to see my servers idle for 12 hours with only 1 chunk trying to start "Encoding..."

[guest]

That could be a great addition/change, if you have several encodes queued up, and they're 4K for example, the last junk or 2 take "forever" to complete...then it has to do it's thing before starting the next one...many hours could be saved, if this could be implemented.

There could be up to 15 servers, not doing anything....such a waste :(

would also help in those rare cases that a server gets stuck starting a job and I come back to see my servers idle for 12 hours with only 1 chunk trying to start "Encoding..."

And I'm glad that someone else is having this problem, too. This happens way too often, and like byteshare said, if you're not "watching/checking" it every so often, it can be stalled for hours...I used to queue many job to do overnight, but not anymore, there's nothing more frustrating to check it the next day, only to find that it stalled not long after you went to bed :(

I thought that Ripbot was able to convert it, at some stage...maybe I'm wrong, but I have had several movies lately with TrueHD audio, and they don't play on my TV, or Bluray player (unless somethings happened to them)

If I attempt an import of a TrueHD audio movie into tsmuxer, it discards it....

Any thoughts or suggestions ???

Cheers

That could be a great addition/change, if you have several encodes queued up, and they're 4K for example, the last junk or 2 take "forever" to complete...then it has to do it's thing before starting the next one...many hours could be saved, if this could be implemented.

There could be up to 15 servers, not doing anything....such a waste :(



And I'm glad that someone else is having this problem, too. This happens way too often, and like byteshare said, if you're not "watching/checking" it every so often, it can be stalled for hours...I used to queue many job to do overnight, but not anymore, there's nothing more frustrating to check it the next day, only to find that it stalled not long after you went to bed :(

If this happens so often so why don't you post some screenshots like I asked you in private message more than a week ago? (Task manager + Encoding Server window).

It doesn't happen the same way, every time, but I have had a quick look in Task Manager, and I couldn't tell if there was a problem with anything, as you mentioned.

And TBH, I just want to get past the stall, and continue, ASAP....but having said that, I don't run Ripbot overnight, anymore, this being part of the reason.

You asked me to check x264 / x265, and ffmpeg, if I recall, and there are multiples of each, and I really don't know what I'm looking for, anyway...sorry.

There's 2 different "stall's" that I can tell, one is part way thru an encode, and another where it is "Starting" but doesn't.

It hasn't happened for me very often, but maybe 1-2 times a week with 3 different computers (all running 2-4 local servers).
I'll try to document it better myself. Since it doesn't happen that often checking the computers several times a day has just become part of my routine.

I just upgraded to the latest version (1.23) from 1.19.x. Running windows 10 — I’m having the same problem that others have said on the board where when I load a mpeg2 source — both the preview and encode are just green screen. I don’t get this issue if loading a MP4 source.

In searching the board I could not find if this has been fixed. I presume a dependency needs to be upgraded. Short of a removal of all of the dependencies and reinstall — has someone figured out the culprit and a fix? I could ultimately go back to 1.19.x but if someone has already resolved — I would prefer to keep up to date with everything else that comes with the updates.

Thanks in advance.

I just need to give you and updated explanation....

I had 2 chunks/servers stall just now, so I went into Task Manager, and there must be something wrong, as it doesn't show any details, and there are missing "tab's" to access the different screens, so I can't provide a purposeful screenshot, atm (Windows 7)

But I will !!!

Also, would you be so kind as to comment on my post #15802, about TrueHD.

Thank you, I remember seeing that. It is an update since then. It bump'd the version HEVC for sure since then. I'm not sure about the other fixes.

[JudgeDredd]

hello, would be possible to add an option somewhere into settings to start enkoding on set priority? (please)

now enkoding (ffmpeg.exe & x265-64.exe) starts at lowest/idle priority which drops my fps rate on 0,50 and below like 0,29.

if I manually re-set priority in task manager on normal then fps stays in reasonable values

please note that diference between low and normal priority causes me to encode my stuff a whole day longer if I forgot imidiately to higher priority

or if such option wont be considered then atleast please tell me what line should I add to .cmd files so they could run at normal priority right after the start. thanks for reading this

I haven't used it in a while, I thought you could raise priority as well as lower it.

Could try: Prio (Process Priority Saver)
https://www.raymond.cc/blog/permanently-set-process-priority-in-windows-task-manager-with-prio/
Seems to be what you're looking for.

[MerolaC]

Ok, I found the problem I think.

I've been trying to convert decrypted blurays to MKV.
So, I choose the m2ts file from the Stream folder and let it demux.
When converting it fails.

Now, if I rip the bluray to MKV and select that MKV in Ripbot v1.23, the conversion is successful.
This didn't happen with v1.22.0. I could just select the m2ts.
So, I went back to that version just to check and indeed, it works fine.


Edit:

No, It wasn't that!
It's the VSFilter crashing!
Previous tests were done with subtitles, the later I didn't use.
When previewing the script with MPC, it crashes with a faulty module, it being VSFilter.

To be honest that was my first suspect but then you said that it stops encoding with and without subtitles... so I ran out of ideas.

Yeah, because I'm stupid. I left the subs enabled all the time.

I have replaced the plugin with xy-VSFilter and it's working great.

Here's a couple of suggestions :-

Firstly, DE doesn't suck, and Atak does have very good support for his program !!!

OK, so are you sure you have everything that Ripbot needs, installed ? especially avisynth (in the Tools folder).

Does Ripbot work ok without DE ??

Have you got the Temp folder on a separate drive to the "C" drive, and even separate to where your movie files are kept ??

And do these drives have enough free space...running low on space can cause a lot of weird problems !!!

Have you got your IP address's setup properly for DE to work with, have you shared any other pc's to work with DE ??

The second issue is with the 3 Golden Girls Interactive Game Files.
I think the issue is that the video is just one frame stretched to play over the duration of the audio but not sure.
The video files do load into RipBot but the encoding servers continually crash and never start to encode and I'm not getting any helpful logs.

I can suggest you this.
Remux the original file but don't add the original audio.
Convert it and then remux back the audio.
It should work.
Otherwise, you can re-do the video in Vegas or any other NLE and extend it to the audio duration.
Vegas is the easiest because you can just drag any video/image in the timeline and it will repeat.

Atak,

Got a quick question. I have been converting some DVDs that are 720x480. The original source is 4:3, but for some reason after conversion, they are coming out 3:2 -- and on playback, are slightly stretched. I've tried 2 different options -- one without resize, and one resizing to NTSC SD -- and both give the same 3:2 result.

Is there any way to keep the 720x480 but have it display as 4:3? I've tried to force it using MVKToolNix, but it doesn't seem to take.

Maybe you could try the "custom" setting, and input the correct sizes, and preview it before encoding...

You can also use MKVToolNix to adjust the aspect ratio as that is really your only issue since the actual pixels are correct. Happens to me sometimes as well.
You can even use a batch file to edit the MKV info without remuxing the whole file.

Thanks for the suggestions. Just stumbled on an easier one -- just adding --sar 10:11 to the script forces a 4:3 aspect ratio with retained 720x480 size.

Found this actually using v1.20 that was writing that to script.

thanks all!

Thanks for the suggestions. Just stumbled on an easier one -- just adding --sar 10:11 to the script forces a 4:3 aspect ratio with retained 720x480 size.

Found this actually using v1.20 that was writing that to script.

thanks all!

Good point. I was thinking if it happens after an encode.

[Jake802]

Thanks for the info, worked like a charm! :D

Do I have to rename it to anything in particular?

Not shure what you mean with JAVA installed?
Renaming Install.cmd to Install.cmd.bak will prevent RipBot to auto update, if you at some point want to update RipBot just remove .bak

[guest]

So, I just got the latest auto update (first one in a little while), and I was so hoping for a 3rd audio tab to have been added, so I must say I am a little disappointed, that there wasn't. :(

Hey - someone (I think it was Atak) helped me build a bluray compliant profile for x264....years ago. I've read through a lot of the documentation and forums on the options for x265, but there are a lot of options. Can someone assist in setting up something similar for x265?

x264 BluRay Profile:
--level 4.1 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --vbv-bufsize 50000 --vbv-maxrate 50000 --filter 0,0 --ref 4 --min-keyint 1 --keyint 24 --bframes 3 --b-adapt 1 --b-pyramid none --subme 7 --aq-mode 1 --trellis 1 --partitions all --me umh

My Attempt at x265:
--profile main10 --level 5.1 --output-depth 10 --hrd --vbv-bufsize 100000 --vbv-maxrate 100000 --ref 4 --min-keyint 1 --keyint 24 --bframes 4 --b-adapt 2 --no-b-pyramid --subme 3 --me umh --no-open-gop --aud --repeat-headers

I think some of these may not be needed as RipBot automatically sets some of them (b-adapt?). I'm also assuming that I don't need to flag any colormatrix/colorprim or related options as RipBot has the option in the GUI for 709/2020. Or, at least it did, I don't see those now. Maybe it auto detects now?

Have you tried removing Java completely and then reinstalling? I've had to do that in the past.

Feature request, being able to select a preferred language in settings, so that only audio/subs in the preferred language get demuxed, rather than all of them

Same here Ripbot 1.23 is not detecting Java on one of my PCs... Works fine on 3 others.

I have tried uninstalling and deleting folders, deleted the old registry keys as well before reinstalling just 32 bit java, and it still won't detect it.

I think I saw that ripbot looks for a registry key to detect if java is installed, and that key is there on this PC and as far as I can tell what's in that registry key matches the registry of the PC's it works fine on..

I found a tool once for removing old java installs that helped me but I can't seem to find it again, sorry.

[activoice]

Yup I have tried uninstalling and verified that Registry keys were deleted with the uninstall, then reinstalled both the 64 bit and 32 bit versions.

I also made sure that I have the registry keys that I think Ripbot uses to detect that Java is installed:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment

Still having problems myself. I might have discovered something. When I delete Ripbot and reinstall it, it starts with version 1.22 and then works...for the first run. After I close it and open it again it checks for updates and installs 1.23 and then I get the Java can't be found message. I think this is repeatable, at least, it has been every time I have tried it.

[Atak_Snajpera]

run in cmd
java.exe -version 2> %TEMP%\java_version.txt

This problem only started happening after the update to 1.23, before that it detected Java fine.

"Automatic HDR information retention while encoding to HEVC format". Can this readout be considered reliable?

I have a lot of HDR movies willing to encode while maintaining the original HDR metadata.

Is it possible to keep more than 2 audio streams from the source? Is it allowed to replace encoders used by Ripbot with newer versions?

Thanks for the reply.

[Atak_Snajpera]

"Automatic HDR information retention while encoding to HEVC format". Can this readout be considered reliable?
This data is taken from mediainfo so It should be reliable. I do not see any complaints so far.

Is it allowed to replace encoders used by Ripbot with newer versions?
yes.

[mparade]

This data is taken from mediainfo so It should be reliable. I do not see any complaints so far.

I was asking just because of this statement: "due to the changes in mediainfo for Master-Display will not auto-load anymore. Since mediainfo removed the color coordinates. It only shows the colorspace now."

and this statement at forum of StaxRip: "The old version gave bad data readouts when it came to HDR10."

I have to embed the metadata correctly into the reencodes. I did not know that Ripbot is using the same program to read them out.

[guest]

mparade asked :- Is it possible to keep more than 2 audio streams from the source?

I just have to say something here :-

At this stage, Ripbot can only process up to 2 audio tracks...I have asked a couple of times if this can be increased to 3 (more would be even better), but as yet, no change :(

I tend to enjoy keeping the mkv title info from tacks so I manually remux subs and audio and/or use an outside tool to mux the audio back in after re-encoding it if more than 1 track (keep mkv title info).

I tend to enjoy keeping the mkv title info from tracks so I manually remux subs and audio and/or use an outside tool to mux the audio back in after re-encoding it if more than 1 track (keep mkv title info).

So does that mean you re-encode video only with Ripbot ??

So what might this "outside tool" be ??

One good thing about Handbrake is, you can add & change as many audio tracks as you like / need.

[guest]

Hey guy's, just got the latest auto update, and Atak has performed his magic again...."we" now have up to 3 audio tracks :)

Thankyou, Atak !!

Hi Atak,

I just thought I'd report back on my use of Windows 7 SP1, over the last few months.

I haven't noticed any noticeable "improvement's" in the operation of Ripbot, since trying W7, as compared to my other pc's which are running Windows Server 2016.

I am still getting those annoying DE "chunk" / server stall's, which sometimes respond to stopping the particular Server IP, and letting another one take it's place, but sometimes I can't turn the offending server off, which leads me to my next comment...

The "Abort" command still doesn't work too well, rarely it will abort, but most times it just "says" it's aborting, but carry's on encoding, so the only option is the "kill it" with Task Manager, and even sometimes that doesn't completely stop everything, and a reboot is needed.

I'm not sure what the difference was between the newer "Abort" command, and the one you had in the DE window, that seemed to work every time.

That's about all I have to comment on....

Windows 7 has it's Pro's & con's, and so does Windows Server, but I'm not a fan of Windows 10 "1803".

Hi Atak,

Another update.... :)

Can I ask a BIG favour....it's was way back on the 13th of April, since you updated to version 1.23.00, but 1.22 is still on Mediafire, can you PLEASE post 1.23 on Mediafire, or even better, the very latest build.....

Hello friends ripbot264 distributed coding Can we encode another computer on the internet? There is also a problem with windows 7 32 bit AviSynth + x64

[Ryushin]

How do I access old jobs before the update to three audio streams. At first it shows an error about not finding audiolist3.txt file so I copy audiolist2.txt to audiolist3.txt. The next error is shows is:
" is not a valid integer value.

So I'm not sure what I need to change in the older jobs.

I also seem to have uncovered a bug with 4k discs and seamless branching. If I rip the disc using anydvd and let Ripbot264 combine the m2ts files, I will get audio that is out of sync towards the end of the film. If I rip the disc using MakeMKV and make a mkv file and then use RipBot264 to process the mkv, the audio comes out fine. Problems occurred with King Kong, Independence Day, and Gladiator.

Yeah, of course I had the same problem, and tried what you did, same result.

If you haven't got a lot of job's queued, might be best just to reload.

Or, try "edit" the "old" jobs, and just pull in the source, again.

Fortunately, I only had about 2 jobs queued up.

But on another pc, I had a LOT in the queue, that pc hasn't been updated yet.

Any ideas why'd I'd get this error:

This is using the preview tool. Preview works fine if I turn off KNLMeansCL or use MDegrain2 instead.

I get the same error code (126) when trying to load MedianBlur2.dll as well. Not sure if related.

Yea, I have about 90 jobs on that machine. I don't mind running a shell script to fix the jobs, but I do not know what it is complaining about. Perhaps Atak can make an update to allow editing of the older jobs.

So, batch scripting seems to want to be available, but is not. With v1.22.0, I have batch files loaded and want to add an AVS file that will apply to all files. There is a drop-down option entitled "CUSTOM SCRIPT" that has two options:
1) "Do not use custom script"
2) "ConvertToInterlaced.avs"
On older versions, there was an option to load custom AVS files. In 1.22, there is no such option and the drop-down is useless as it simply limits you to no custom script. Am I missing something here or is it now impossible to add custom scripting to batch processing?

You need to add the scripts to the custom folder in the:

Once you add them, they'll show up as an option.

Hello,

Another question I am not great at this so bare with my stupidity, please. I am trying to do an AVCHD of a movie it has DTS-HD. The only option I am getting is 2.0 FFMPEG AC3 256 kbps [cbr[. Is this right? How come I don't get a copy stream option? Thanks in advance!

You can't restore information which wasn't present in source. It is like having 2d image and asking how to convert to true 3d stereoscopic format.

Not sure why but RipBot is changing é to Θ when muxing the files after an encode.
The filename displays correctly in the queue.

[guest]

So I have a question about the final process of Ripbot, the Muxing of the files.

What is used to do this, as it seems to be only a single threaded utility....

I am just finishing off the longest encode I have EVER done with Ripbot, a 60 Mb/s (original is 48.7 Mb/s), x265, 10bit, 4K encode of the the near 3 hour extended Avatar, it has taken many days (but not 24 hour days) to do this, and it's taking forever to Mux it all back together.

Is it possible to use a multi threaded process to do this ??? There has to be a better / faster way !!!

I might try a few different "tool's" to mux the files that Ripbot creates in the Jobs folders, and see how long it takes.

OK, it's just finished successfully :), and now I think I know why it takes so long....if I check the video file in the Jobs folder, it's still the original bitrate, but the finished encode has the higher bitrate, according to MediaInfo.

So is there a faster way to Mux ???

What does Ripbot use, to Mux things back together ??

[Atak_Snajpera]

mkvmerge.exe or mp4box.exe

[guest]

mkvmerge.exe or mp4box.exe

And they aren't multi thread enabled ?? (or whatever the terminology is) :stupid:

[sneaker_ger]

Muxing with mkvmerge or mp4box is basically only bottlenecked by HDD speed. CPU is almost irrelevant.

[guest]

Muxing with mkvmerge or mp4box is basically only bottlenecked by HDD speed. CPU is almost irrelevant.

So you're suggesting SSD's or better, for the muxing drive !! ??

[sneaker_ger]

Fastest would be muxing with 2 SSDs, one source and one target. But muxing itself will take only little time. Most time is spent in video encoding. So if you want to speed up things you need: faster CPU and/or lower encoding settings (or faster encoder like x264). Or GPU encoding (but which can impact quality/compression negatively).


Of course converting original 48.7 Mb/s to 60 Mb/s is retarded anyways ...

[guest]

Of course converting original 48.7 Mb/s to 60 Mb/s is retarded anyways ...

Good advise on the drive setup, I'll check that...

Nice to know you read my thread :)

Not retarded, just testing the limits, but it does make a difference :)

However, a lot of high end 2160p 4K video's are around the 50 - 60 Mb/s bitrate !! Even encoding at the original, would still take a long time.

RipBot uses MKVToolNix but CPU isn't needed as this is mostly a data moving issue. The faster the medium between the encoded files to the destination the faster the muxing process.

Also, you should not be seeing increased quality with just raising the bitrate. My guess, is some of the filters you used or the slight filtering process that encodes use is what you're seeing for the difference.

[Atak_Snajpera]

According to your theory re-encoding 128 kbps MP3 to 320 kbps MP3 will also automagically improve quality?

[guest]

RipBot uses MKVToolNix but CPU isn't needed as this is mostly a data moving issue. The faster the medium between the encoded files to the destination the faster the muxing process.

Turns out that not only the source & destination folders were on the same slow RAID 1E, but the Temp folder was too...won't do that again !!!

Also, you should not be seeing increased quality with just raising the bitrate. My guess, is some of the filters you used or the slight filtering process that encodes use is what you're seeing for the difference.

No special filters, just basically default settings for 4K encode, the only thing I changed was a 1 pass @ 60,000kb/s.

[guest]

Well, I'm "whelmed" (not over or under) that my post #15927 sparked so much response, as the Forum has been stagnet for weeks :)

Also a bit of sarcasm mixed in, as well....

I sort of disagree with your statement, bitrate of a video file should produce better quality, than an audio file, but I like your use of "automagically" :)

OK, so you told me what Ripbot uses to mux, but what is used to govern the bitrate of an encode ??? If not mkvmerge ???

Speaking of mkvmerge, there is a newer version of MKVToolNix now available, v25...and does Ripbot use the 32 or 64 bit versions ??

Is there a way to at least maintain original bitrates using Ripbot ??

Generally I just use CQ 20, and everything is smaller / lesser bitrate, an "X Copy" type option (as used with your audio settings) might be an idea.

Oh, and another thing I need to mention, the majority of 4K 2160p HEVC movies also have True-HD audio.

Even my brand new 2018 model LG 4K TV doesn't support that format, so I have to convert any THD audio to DTS-MA or DTS to maintain the 7.1 tracks, as I'm pretty sure Ripbot can't do that. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Maybe I should say that Ripbot can't convert THD to DTS, only ac3. (and again, correct me if I'm wrong), as we've had this conversation before.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Is there a way to at least maintain original bitrates using Ripbot ??

That's good to know, another hidden gem.....

However, most of the files I use, are .mkv, and that option isn't available...can you make that an option for .mkv's ???

Or do I have to convert them to .m2ts with tsmuxer ???

Please tell me you can add it ??? :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

If you want to retain original quality/bitrate in mkv then why don't you just use mkvtoolnix?

[guest]

If you want to retain original quality/bitrate in mkv then why don't you just use mkvtoolnix?

WOW, now that is something I never thought I'd hear from you !!!

An interesting statement, none the less.

I am using mkvmerge a lot more than I use to, tho.

But, using Ripbot has some features that I like to use for filtering, audio, etc. Oh, and yes, increasing bitrates...lol !!!

So is that a no, about adding Copy Stream for .mkv's ??

And another question I asked last night was, what does Ripbot use that affects bitrates ?

For example, today I re encoded a basic 2160p movie that had an original bitrate of 24.7Mb/s, but running it thru Ripbot at basic setting's, with MDGrain filter, and CQ 20, it was reduced to 3,540kb/s, and of course a huge reduction in file size...I am yet to check out the quality.

[Atak_Snajpera]

If you remove randomness (noise) from picture then encoder can achieve much higher compression ratios. For example MDegrain2 can reduce average bitrate in CQ mode by up to 1.7x factor!

Riddles...what does "this?" mean ?

So, what makes the change, if I "up" the bitrate ??

[Atak_Snajpera]

You are just reducing degradation effect during lossy compression. Keep in mind that picture quality will be still worse than original due to lossy nature of compression. It is something like copying VHS tapes (worse quality) to BETA tapes (better quality) or audio cassette type-I (iron oxide) to type-II (chrome).

I believe FFMPEG is the main engine but you also use the codecs.
What governs the bitrate is the settings you tell the encoder to use.

When you're doing Copy Stream you're not encoding, you're just copying files

[Mixer73]

When you're doing Copy Stream you're not encoding, you're just copying files

But I bet he can see the better quality ;)

Hint: if you encode to a higher bitrate without any filters, the resultant will will be lower quality.

In special cases you can encode with filters and result in a higher visual quality, but very high bitrate sources are not those cases.

This is just a case of confirmation bias.

Nah, the MKVToolNix works and the updates to MKVToolNix are generally minimal. FFMPEG same situation.

As for Codecs he is almost always on top of it.

I was just trying to be cheeky.

The only thing in RipBot as far as features that I've been looking for is better queue management.

I know FFMPEG crashes sometimes but almost always doubling my Encoding Servers (ie slowing per thread FPS) seems to keep it from crashing as much when it comes up for some videos more than others.

What do you suggest?

[byteshare]

What do you suggest?
First, I find it very manageable right now and again thank you for your work.

The main feature around queue management I'd like would be to more easily move one or more items in the queue up in priority, without having to turn off jobs in front of them. I don't want the queue to stop once the jobs I need are done (if I turn off the other jobs to more easily "move" the priority) if I'm not around to re-enable the other jobs.

I use a macro key board so what I've been doing for a while now is I have it auto click for me and I move 1 item at a time.

I might be an edge case because I tend to have 100 or so jobs at anyone time.

Right now I don't move things to the top of the queue every day but I believe that is mostly because I don't want to move 10-12 items 1 at a time most of the time. When I do it, it is because I really need something done sooner.

Thank you for your interest.

[Atak_Snajpera]

So basically you need ability to select some jobs and move them on top at once? I will see what I can do in this department...

That new option ("Limit to the...") is to not use MT by default as it can be unstable with some filters...that said I have it set so it uses it with all of my filters and it does cause some issues but generally not that many...and a work around for my specific issues is usually start more Encoding Servers.
The option above that is to MT at all or not.


#3 by the way you broke the subtitle .sup bluray sub when you check convert to "dvd sub" idx,sub is not dvd sub by the way,the subtitle convert nothing and nothing appear in preview!
I haven't had issues with it. Might be specific to the files you're using. I did stop using it about a month ago and decided to just batch mux subs directly from source to keep title info in the MKV metadata.


#4 when you close ripbot you lose your files in queud !!!! another new bug.
Do you mean files in the batch file list? I haven't had that issue. I have had old jobs (ghosts) come back after closing and renewing, but I think that has to do with force quiting.

@Atak_Snajpera, one Question. Would it be a big thing that the User can specify a temporary Folder and not only a temporary Drive? For Example c:\MKVWork\Temp? Would save me a lot of Folder Switching if i want to check some Things manually before the encoding starts :-)

Thanks

I could be wrong, but you should be able to specify where ever you want it, already...

In "RipBot264.ini"

[settings]
StoreTempFilesin=

[Privateer5000]

Doesn`t work for me.

Try creating this folder location first, (c:\MKVWork) then change the .ini, to suit, and it hopefully will then create the temp folder.

Have you tried right clicking on the job and opening the Job Folder?
It is what I do to not navigate to the temp folder directly first.

Ok, that works and helps a lot. Thanks for the hint.

Creating the Folder did not work either but with the right click Hint it is ok for me.

For anyone having issues with video and audio syncing up after an encode and have tried things like changing the frame rate in MKV tools, you might try copying the timestamp file from source to your encoded file. This is especially helpful with variable frame rate files.

Extracting timecodes (windows batch file):
FOR %%A IN (*.mkv) DO "C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix\mkvextract.exe" timecodes_v2 "%%A" "0:%%A_timecodes.txt"
^^ The above is for running the batch file in the same folder as the video files that you want to extract the timestamp info from (source)

Batch importing with Encoded files in the same folder as the extracted timecodes .txt files(windows batch file)
FOR %%A IN (*.mkv) DO "C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "%%~A-fixed.mkv" --timecodes "0:%%A_timecodes.txt" "%%~A"

If you're working with something other than MKVs you'd want to change that in the scripts.

If you need something in py (Linux) let me know

I'm considering trying Ripbot but I see there are lots of tools in there. Are any of them going to be installed into my system or do they run from the "tools" directory? I'm especially wondering about avisynth+ being installed and deleting my current version?

[Atak_Snajpera]

RipBot264 installs AviSynth+ MT if
a) AviSynth+ MT is not installed
b) Installed AviSynth+ MT version is lower than in RipBot264 folder (in other words newer version installed in system won't be replaced by old in ripbot264 folder)

You can always disable this auto installation by renaming install.cmd in \Tools\AviSynth

[guest]

Atak,

I have to ask, is there an update due anytime soon ??

from what I have found, there's newer versions of Avisynth r2728, MKVToolNix v25, & ffmpeg 20180824

[Atak_Snajpera]

Yes...

[Atak_Snajpera]

v1.23.0 (FINAL)

Added: Better queue management
Added: support for commandline switches in EncodingServer.exe
(/minimize , /port , /node , /affinity , /priority , /x264-opencl-device and /knlmeanscl-opencl-device)
Example: EncodingServer.exe /minimize /port 2000 /node 2 /affinity AAAA /priority low /x264-opencl-device 0 /knlmeanscl-opencl-device 1
EncodingServer will start in tray and start listening using port 2000.
Encoding task will be assigned to NUMA node 2 with affinity mask for CPU1,CPU3,CPU5,CPU7,CPU9,CPU11,CPU13,CPU15 in low priority.
Futhermore x264 opencl will be set for first device and KNLMeansCL filter for second device.
Added: Support fot 3rd audio stream
Added: Preffered audio language option
Added: HDR to SDR conversion directly in script (no bottleneck if used with prefetch)
Added: Automatic pre-indexing of all audio streams after demuxing
Added: support for PRORES as input format.
Changed: WatchFolder Mode now adds first unlocked file to queue instead of waiting for first detected file in folder to be unlocked
Fixed: Crashing in EncodingServer when other instance was being closed. EncodigServer also starts much faster than before.
Fixed: Various bugs reported since last major version

With new version you can assign each encoding server to specific NUMA node for better performance.

Optimal configuration for Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX (4 NUMA nodes)

Holy crap, you should have called this 1.24.0..

I downloaded the new full install, from Mediafire.

Certainly a lot of the "tool's" have been updated :)

This program is getting away from being simple... :(

You're going to have to post a user instruction guide..

OK, so that NUMA stuff means nothing to me, is it possible to use this with older CPU's ?? eg:- X series XEON's, or i7's.

Well done, can't wait to give it a whirl.

[Privateer5000]

One Question concerning the Command Line Switch for x264-open-CL. Is it now possible to use the Nvidia OpenCL Acceleration on one Machine and no acceleration on the Second Machine?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Yes but in weird way. Set /x264-opencl-device to some incorrect value (non existing device index).
x264 should automatically switch to full software mode.

So I discovered recently that if I encode my movies in [HIGH 5.2] UHD, Progressive my Plex server doesn't like it. Takes forever to load movies and in many cases won't play the picture. If I go down to [HIGH 4.0] FHD, Progressive everything works perfectly.

[Atak_Snajpera]

So now you know why I set HIGH 4.0 as default encoding profile.

[guest]

So any hint's on setting up the Numa nodes ??

[Atak_Snajpera]

Is your system configured as multiple-numa nodes? For example. Do you have multi socket mainboard or at least own Threadripper 1950 (2 NUMA) or Threadripper 2990wx (4 NUMA)?

I have NO idea.

I do have several dual cpu Tyan & Supermicro X5680 & X5690 Xeon's systems.

Doubt I'll ever be able to afford an awesome Threadripper system, way too pricey :(

[Atak_Snajpera]

Check in Task Manager.

Thanks, I've seen that, (haven't checked yet) and that looks like Windows 10 / Server screens...what about Windows 7 (as you use)

Also, is this anything to do with Hyper V / VM's ??

[Atak_Snajpera]

View -> CPU history -> Numa

View -> CPU history -> Numa

I'm trying this on a laptop atm, and can't find that "path".

Does Process Hacker show similar info ??

[Atak_Snajpera]

If you do not have this option then it means that your system is not configured in multiple numa nodes.
Try this on those old xeons.

Just checked this on the Tyan dual X5680 W7 system, and indeed, it doesn't display this.

So am I out of options, now ??

[Atak_Snajpera]

check also coreinfo.exe -n to be sure but most likely those old dual socket xeons were configured as UMA (Unified Memory Architecture)

How do I execute coreinfo.exe ??? :stupid:

I have however found that I can enable NUMA in the bios settings of most of the SMC motherboards :)

So I will check that out, when I can, and go from there.

Thanks again :)

More questions to follow, I'm sure.....

[Atak_Snajpera]

In UMA mode instead of /node you can use /affinity to achieve the same separation.

So I quickly tested it on my little Dell Laptop after downloading, and got almost the exact result of your screen shot..the only difference was I had 2 asterisk's (not 16) before the NUMA Node 0.

Are the asterisk's the core count ??

So I did a **-c ** command, and it stated "No NUMA nodes", which this laptop would not have.

I'm guessing I'll get more nodes on the "old xeon's", once I've enabled NUMA in the BIOS....correct ??

Yes. If you enable NUMA in bios you will get two graphs in task manager like I showed you before.
