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

[Mr. Monte]

Is there a switch I can use in the config file to make the audio language default to English instead of Unknown?

TIA

[darkNiGHTS]

This isn't really a bug, but it's something I feel should be changed. The subtitle file is only checked if valid when it is being added after the video is encoded. I just spent 5 hours encoding a video and the subtitle file ended up having an invalid line. Of course this means the encoding was never finished and I had to do it all over again after fixing the subtitle file.

Would it be possible to have this be checked beforehand? Or maybe pause instead of cancel when found invalid.

[Atak_Snajpera]

what was wrong with subtitle file?

[AKarpo]

hello - I'm having a few issues with Ripbot encoding under the iPad profile and was hoping someone might be able to help me.

The source material is a 720p .ts file recorded from ABC in ClearQAM.

With RipBot, I click [MAIN 3.0] SD.PSP.iPad under the profile dropdown. Mode is 2-pass with 3000 Kbps bitrate.

Source file encodes fine, resulting .mp4 plays back fine. When I import the .mp4 into iTunes and attempt to copy it over to the iPad, it fails. Just refuses to copy over.

I've tried this with multiple source files - same thing happens every time. I tried using the iPhone preset in MeGUI, using the same encoding settings, and it yields the same result.

any ideas?


p.s. I love RipBot, it's an amazing utility I use on a day to day basis. Donated a bit to help out :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

what resolution did you choose?

[Mr. Monte]

See my question above?

[AKarpo]

what resolution did you choose?

1024x576

[Atak_Snajpera]

Did you try 720x480 or 720x576?

Is there a switch I can use in the config file to make the audio language default to English instead of Unknown?
no. If language is not detected/specified in container then you will always have Undetermined.

[AKarpo]

Did you try 720x480 or 720x576?


no. If language is not detected/specified in container then you will always have Undetermined.

tried 960x540 and it failed. Trying 720x480 now.

now the _exact_ same 1024 or 960 video file, embedded in a html5 page, when I pull it up in Safari on the iPad, plays perfectly.

720x480 works! Hurray! I'm wondering if the fact that it's 59.94 is causing iTunes fits if it's anything above 720. But again though, why would it play in the browser at the resolution, but iTunes doesn't like it? Are we forced to do some iTunes 'tweaks' here to get it working at those higher resolutions?

*edit - audio is a tiny, tiny bit off.

For HD sources must be 24 or 30fps. 960x540 is highest res for 30fps.

you can fix that in Audio delay section (properties -> last page)

[ihikaru]

Ok i guess i did not fix this.

first i take dvd's and put them on my hard drive with dvdfab.
then when i try to convert them with Ripbot264 v1.16.2 it finishes in 1sec and says cant find sound file in the log. im just using the default high 4.0 settings and running windows 7 64bit can someone help me figure this out.

here is the log

@Atak;

Can we have a checked option in the settings to create the certificate folder? I know it's the same without but i don't remember wich program is not read it without the certificate folder.

I was just kinda messing with this. TSMuxer always makes a certificate folder when muxing to AVCHD. I burned a couple discs without it...since it only contains another folder backup and both are empty. My Bluray player didn't seem to like the discs without that folder. is it maybe necessary to get bluray players to recognize it as more of a bluray type disc??? I don't really understand it's purpose

[rendez2k]

I've been playing around with ripbot and compressing MKVs to DVD5 AVCHDs. Are there any settings I can alter to keep high quality but make it any faster? I assume 1 pass isn't accurate enough to get a near-perfect DVD5 size?

[Atak_Snajpera]

no. Higher quality = slower speed and vice versa.

imo making the average movie into a dvd5 should only be done in 720p. with the low bitrate it prob ends up looking better than a 1080p of the same size. so if you're doing 1080p movies consider dropping them to 720p for the above reason and because they'll process a lot faster.

Hi

Today I got trouble by opening a TS (containing VC-1) on a new installed system and I got this message after "Gathering required information"

DirectShowSource : Timeout waiting for graph to start. (Z:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)."

Finally the solution was pretty simple: Adding the "avs2yuv.exe" to the allowed programs in ffddshow decoder settings.

Remark: The ffddshow compatibilty manager appeared not on the screen but was listed in the program list (switching by ALT-TAB). Unfortunately it was not possible to select and view that window.

May be this could help somenone...

Regards,
Umbriel

[Umbriel]

Me once again but now I have real question:

Short question:
Is there a way to tell RipBot to avoid DGAVCDecode.dll on H264/AVC sources? I know about two workarounds to enforce DirectShow (editing avs script / muxing to ts) but is there a way to exclude DGAVCDecode.dll at all?

background:
If I use Ripbot directly on the .h264-file I get rarely some pink or green glitches. I had this already on different bd's and different systems, occuring is really rare (average once per movie) but deterministic. If I use DGAVCIndex app I get "concealing ...numbers..numbers..numbers.... error" at the affected positions. No problem with these files over direct show source so far.

Regards,
Umbriel

[klopsknoedel]

hi,
i've recognized that "Forced Suptitles" won't be marked as those anymore. Could you please take it back? I loved this feature!



EDIT:
Hi, sorry for that question. I've seen that the "Forced subtitles" - feature is still in.
But some BDs has an extra suptitle-file which will be forced. Would be nice if that file will be marked as "FORCED" too. So if I choose "German" as the language this file gets activated. It's a full file not only an extract of a main-file.

mux .264 into .mkv with mmg.exe. Make sure you specify correct fps!

I cann't do anything without sample.

[Umbriel]

Hi Atak,

Thank you for your great tool and your response.

I use Ripbot for the BD video conversion/compression (VC1,MPEG,AVC to MKV) only. I am doing the rest (audio, subs) manually and finally merging with MMG. My intention is not to merge the original .264 into a MKV container. My observation is when I feed the .264 directly to RipBot the resulting MKV could have rare glitches. I investigated this and the source is the decoding by DGAVC. When I merge the same .264 to a TS file and feed this to Ripbot the glitches do not occur (because the decoding is then done with DirectShow). I verified this behaviour on 2 independent systems, but they have identical HW/OS setup. May be I can test this on another system...

It would be interesting if anybody else has this problem? As workaround I can mux the .264 into TS before feeding to Ripbot but is there no switch to change the default decoding method on plain .264 files?

Regards,
Umbriel

[Atak_Snajpera]

Generally I'm very lazy and when encode anything from BD I just select any .m2ts directly from disc (anydvd HD is running in background obviously)

[glen8]

I've been working on backing up my BluRay collection to mp4 files so I can copy them to iPad for when I'm staying away in Hotels. Everything has been going great and the output files are amazing for the 4gb sizes I'm using. Really chuffed with it so thanks.

Can someone please explain what the downmix tick box actually does. I mean not technically as I know what it is supposed to do, but it seems even if the tick is in or not, I can't actually see anything in the avs files or any files which looks like it is downmixing.

Hope that makes sense

Thanks!

[Umbriel]

Okay now I understand what you meant by merging the original .264 into MKV (enforce DirectShow). I wonder why I am the only guy on planet receiving "concealing errors" on a proper .264-file but from Ripbot perspective, request is solved.

Personally I would not recommend to encode plain .264-files with RipBot but it seems I am the only one receiving this errors (or may be the only one which encodes plain 264 =).

[mmmmdonut]

EDIT:

But some BDs has an extra suptitle-file which will be forced. Would be nice if that file will be marked as "FORCED" too. So if I choose "German" as the language this file gets activated. It's a full file not only an extract of a main-file.

There's no way this can be done problematically. Those subtitle files that contain only forced subtitles are not marked as forced so there is no way for Atak to know.

The easiest way to tell is pick your language for subtitle file and check its size. If you need to read the sup file, go to tools/bdsup2sub and use the tool there to open your sup file.

Hi Atak,

I've encoded an movie "mkv" with 1080P video source and DTS audio, and the lock resize of "8150" and also "8125" is oversized when exported.

I've convert it and lock it to 8150 on the first try, and manually reset to 8125 and convert it again and still oversized.

MediaFire seems to have issues at the moment with the server providing your file...

[benjyv]

Hi Atak ,

I wonder why this version gaves errors when I'm encoding .ts files ???
It cannot finish the encode , it stoppes at 96-97 % each time....
I've tried 4 such .ts files and all gave same situation....
Is there smth wrong with .ts files ??
The image stops at 1:25:44 and the sound continue to work up to the end. The whole file is 1:34:40.
Even when I tried second time to encode the same file , the result was almost identical..
Should I do some special settings for .ts files ????

PS : I encode .ts --> .mkv

THX !!

[Atak_Snajpera]

rename .ts to .m2ts and see if this works for you now.

Also check if your .ts contains any error in Transport Stream Packet Editor

[benjyv]

Thanks Atak !!!

but how should I check .ts files for errors ??
What soft is necessary ???
I found on the net TS doctor but is Demo :(


PS : You were RIGHT !!!

renaming .ts to .m2ts , it works perfectly !!!! I've tested just one of them...I hope the other one will work fine , too :D

Thanks !!!

[nst6563]

I haven't searched the entire thread, but from what I have searched I haven't found an answer.

Is there a way to use the "xcopy stream" method when encoding a blu-ray/m2ts? When I encode a dvd/vob, I can simply selec the xcopy stream and get the original DTS/AC3 stream which the receiver can decode. When I chose to encode a blu-ray/m2ts I have the option to transcode the audio or convert to FLAC. Is there no way to simply copy the original DTSHD/TRUEHD stream into the mkv? -or am I missing/misinterpreting an option?

Thanks,

[Atak_Snajpera]

but how should I check .ts files for errors
Transport Stream Packet Editor

[benjyv]

Thanks Atak !!!!

Yet I still have one unsolved problem with Ripbot , namely multiple encoding....
Ripbot is placed within C: The BD for encoding are placed on other different partitions , namely J: and F:
As per Ripbot settings the encoding result will be placed in C:/desktop
Well , everytime I tried to do multiple encoding i.e. different files of the same BD, it results the same file , encoded instead of different ones , 4 or 5 times ,exactly how many files are prepared for encoding...
What can I do ???
There are necessary suplimentary settings ??
There are some tricks ???
Should I put the BD files in other location ???

Cheers !

[simonb1975uk]

Atak what are your recommendations for using DGDecNV in Ripbot?

[ajamils]

Atak,

I've tried converting two movies from mkv to mkv (with Xcopy FLAC audio) and though files converted fine and results are excellent, the subtitles are completely out of sync. In one movie, they start out fine but by the middle of the movie, they are almost 2 seconds slow. Is there any way to fix it ? The original files do not exhibit this issue.

[pacaveli211]

ajamils
check framerates, it sounds like that has changed which would cause the sync issue

[ajamils]

ajamils

Just checked the framerates, they are at "Do not change" setting. I'm using CQ =18 for the conversion.

[pacaveli211]

maybe be more thorough in checking it just to be sure
i.e. check your source and encoded file and see if they show the same framerate (I'd probably use TSMuxeR to do that)
if you don't see an issue I'm somewhat at a loss for why they'd be out of sync
demux / extract subtitles from source and encoded and see if the time codes are all the same. if they aren't you can mux the original one in.
if the time codes are the same the only other thing I can think of is the mkv has multiple timelines and the 1st / default one has a few minutes cut out, explaining the difference
that seems quite unlikely though....

I just started another conversion, but this time I selected "Assume 23.976" as the speed. This is the same frame rate that the source has. Lets see how this one goes.

Update:
Conversion went fine but same issue with subtitles. Also noticed that sound also goes out of sync in one of the encodes. I guess, I'll just stick with RAW video (with FLAC audio) for my blu-ray backups.

There used to be this option a while ago but it was removed. All I do is use the AVCHD option and when it completes then run that through tsMuxeR to make it a Blu-ray. Hope this helps.

Hi guys, can you explain me these deinterlacing methods in RipBot264?

1. TFF -> 29.97 FPS
2. TFF -> 59.94 FPS
3. BFF -> 29.97 FPS
4. BFF -> 59.94 FPS
5. Inverse Telecine
