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

[ajamils]

I just tried encoding another movie and have the same issue. In original mkv file subtitles are completely sync with the movie but on the encoded file, subtitles are couple of seconds behind. I even merged the extracted subtitles from the original file but that did not fix it either. So I'm guess, there is nothing going on with the encoded video.

Attached are the MediaInfo outputs for both files (remove .doc from the extension).

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Atak !!!!

I'm back with an unsolved problem regarding multiple encoding :

" Well , Ripbot is located within partition 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 ???
This option : "multiple encode" is available for different sources/BDs and not for the same source with multiple files to be encoded ???

( to solve this problem I must copy/paste every file on desktop and encode separatelly , one by one...)

Thanks in advance !!!!

Before I answer, do you know what fields are?

Fields? I juz dont get your question

I have some HD video clip (1080i) in MPEG-TS format and I wanna encode them down to 720p MKV.
I've tried MeGUI, but the result is not good as expected:

Then I came to use RipBot264 and stuck at deinterlacing method. In MeGUI, you can let the app analyse and suggest the best deinterlacing method, and also, let you choose the resizing filters. But I can't find these option in RipBot264 so I need help from you guys :thanks:

[Atak_Snajpera]

hi @all nice to be here and to be able to post, could someone please help a n00b, why is it i never ever get the blu ray option only divxplus

tia
Old blu-ray was in fact AVCHD. I just changed label.

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.
This is only required if your bd-player does not like AVCHD structure. BTW. Majority of new players has no problems with AVCHD.

Use
1. TFF -> 29.97 FPS
or
2. TFF -> 59.94 FPS

Corrupted image could be caused by errors in stream. This is very common if you record something from TV station. It would also help if you could upload 50mb sample to www.mediafire.com. Use DGsplit.

[dragon_warrior]

@Atak_Snajpera: You mean the source video at 1080i ?

[pacaveli211]

benjyv - are your output files set to have different filenames?

[Atak_Snajpera]

@dragon_warrior
yes

[dragon_warrior]

Here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?5adhdhxaaap6urp
Thanks for your help :D
Btw, this is the script:
#VideoSource

video=DirectShowSource("E:\Nhac\Music Videos\HD-VOB Music Videos\La Roux - Bulletproof (H264-Palladia-1080i-AmazonBoy).ts",audio=false).ConvertToYV12()

LoadCplugin("C:\Program Files\RipBot264\Tools\AviSynth plugins\Yadif\Yadif.dll")
video=yadif(video,mode=0,order=1)

#Decimate

[Atak_Snajpera]

Encoded sample
http://www.mediafire.com/?5tub1a2la2kwkc1

At the begining you will see corrupted frame. This is due to error in source (.ts) . BTW. Don't use TV -> PC conversion. Also I see no reason for denoising.

[benjyv]

are your output files set to have different filenames?

Yes , of course , I'm not so stupid :((

Atak must know what is the trick here......

Maybe he'll answer me , finally ;-)

[dragon_warrior]

@Atak : Thank you :D

[glen8]

Can someone please tell me if the fps on mpeg2 blu-rays is slightly slower than vc1?

Usually I get a constant 30fps, Now and again up to 45 but with mpeg2 it's a solid 25

Just wondering, thanks

Oh, also I stupidly encoded the same movie twice by mistake and the file sizes were very very slightly different. Only a few k but thought it was strange. Any thoughts?

[pacaveli211]

it's not going to encode exactly the same every time. being a bit different is 100% normal
all blurays (main movies) are 24fps (excluding a few 25fps things like BBC life and etc)
encoding fps depends on a lot more things than mpeg2 vs vc1 (and don't forget avc/mpeg4).
such as AR, resolution, and then some things in the movie itself. a lot of fast movements / changes will take longer. whereas a slower really dark movie should go faster

[pacaveli211]

hey Atak (or anyone else who might know) if I want to encode something over 25000kbps do I need to modify the profile?
I just noticed my last encode missed the target size by about 1.5GB. but I had set the bitrate to 27000 with the default 4.0 profile
it seems I should change the level to at least 4.1 and the max bitrate to 30000 or however high is necessary, is that correct?
should the buffer be changed to coincide with the max bitrate?
and lastly....having these settings as such (4.1 25000) shouldn't have any negative impact on lower bitrate encodes should they?
like if I use the same profile to encode a bd9

4.0 is limited to 25000. Anything higher requires you to switch to 4.1.

[pacaveli211]

yup, have answers to any of my other questions there? =)

Hi!

In the Movie Robots from 2005 I try to get the hole movie but cant seem to get the end with the after texts to be included! :(

I choose the appropriate mpls, in this case 00850.
mpls and choose the first angle. (tried both)

RipBot does what it should but the movie is missing the aftertexts that are aprox. 6min., what do I do ?

In the mpls i use it uses files:
00818.m2ts+00834.m2ts+00835.m2ts
, but the last part (aftertexts) is in 00821.m2ts! :(

How do I get the hole movie to be demuxed as one so I can encode the complete movie!

PLEASE HELP! :(

[Zorro70]

Can you add the correct mpls in ts muxer as you would in ripbot, then ADD the extra 00821.m2ts file and see if it will remux into a blu ray so you can ripbot it????

its just a guess, its one film i havent downloaded so cant try it myself

[pacaveli211]

if you're choosing a playlist that doesn't include the m2ts with the credits you should check the other playlists, you're probably using the wrong one
use BDinfo
or simply add it with tsmuxer as zorro70 suggested

[rack04]

I get a avs2yuv crash when I try to load DGDecNV avs file ever since it dropped CUVIDServer.

Tryed it, and it does not help, the end resoult is with out the endcredits anyway! :(

Tryed to find a playlist WITH the credits, but does not exist from what I can see, this is a major mystery for me.

IS there anyway to tro to manually force together the separate files into one movie file, allready tryed all diffrent ways with TSmuxer, and nothing works, either crash at the end (usually with error msg:
"Reading buffer overflow. Possible container streams are not syncronized. Please, verify stream fps. File name: M:\BDMV\STREAM\00818.m2ts"
or ends...without the credits in the final output ? :/
BDinfo dont show me anything that can help me solve this issue.

[pacaveli211]

zip your playlist folder for me and upload it (to mediafire). I'll see if I can find anything that you may have missed
also does tsmuxer by chance seem to give that error for any certain stream? or just as a general error?

[MaistroX]

Here´s the link to Robots playlist -> http://www.mediafire.com/?7gkk4t1bfgi2d2k

Only reason that is given is -> "Reading buffer overflow. Possible container streams are not syncronized. Please, verify stream fps. File name: M:\BDMV\STREAM\00818.m2ts"
When I try to join thoose 4 files.
The movie complete should be Aprox. 90 Mins.

[pacaveli211]

damn, I need the clipinf folder too

[MaistroX]

Here´s the clipinfo dir -> http://www.mediafire.com/?z917p6p584sy63p

[pacaveli211]

bdinfo reads problems with 00334.mpls, 00800.mpls and 00850.mpls
you might want to try pulling the playlist folder and Clipinf folder off the bluray again

I dunno if that's the actual issue....but if the main playlist is truly corrupt it might've dumped some of the data out

[MaistroX]

This is straight from the original BD -> http://www.mediafire.com/?wzbuarek2s7zcdf

[stryker412]

I have a question that does not pertain to any particular version of RipBot. I'm just curious (in basic terms) how RipBot determines the bitrates for mkv's? I just ripped a few episodes of "Generation Kill" from BD which are 1hr in length. Using CQ18 I ended up with file sizes around 4GB per episode in 720p. I just tried to do "Book of Eli" which is a 2hr movie and I end up with a file size of 2GB (also in 720p). The bitrate for Eli is only 2.5MB while Generation Kill is 5MBs. I'm just trying to understand how this works.

[Remicade]

After i install latest Haali every video (mkv, avi) stuck at "Please wait...Gathering information". Do you encounter such problem ? Should I reinstall Windows ? :(

[pacaveli211]

:(
I still get the same error, so I dunno man.
maybe try dropping some of the audio / subtitle tracks and see if it gets rid of the buffer overflow error or try demuxing them first. also check to make sure the framerates are the same on all the m2ts files

some movies require a higher bitrate to retain the same quality, while other movies can maintain the same quality with a much lower bitrate. lots of things will factor into this. the colors in the movie, how much action there is, etc. animated movies can be dropped A LOT and still look fine due to how the colors are.

lol....maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling a couple times or something (haali and ffdshow)? is that the first thing you do when you have an issue, reformat? lol

[AbsHard]

When adding some blu ray rips to be encoded, something is eating up all my ram (4gigs) while it demuxes. Computer becomes unresponsive until it finishes and its really slow.

Then on others its fine and demuxes fine.

They are mkv's with 1 audio and 1 video track remuxed from blu rays. Non HD audio tracks regular dts and ac3

Any ideas?

[chunkylover67]

Sometimes, when I try to encode FLV videos on Ripbot264, it always gives me an error saying that it can't detect the frame rate. To work around this I have to use another encoder like Megui to generate an AVS script so Ripbot can then get the framerate from there. This happens on most FLV videos I download on the internet.

Then, on most WMV files, Ripbot won't get past the 'gathering information' bit when it's analysing the file. It will just stay there.

Unistall ffdshow and install the last build solve the problem, don't need to reinstall Windows from Acronis backup (5 minute work).

Hey Atak !!!

I have an OLD question without answer :

" Everytime I tried to do multiple encodings 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 ???
This option : "multiple encode" is available for different sources/BDs and not for the same source with multiple files to be encoded ???

Thanks for replay !!

[soneca]

:confused:If what I'm thinking, just rename the output files because if the file exists in that directory will be overwritten by new file.

[KwanTai]

I use RipBot264 quite often and I like it a lot! Great job!

Question. When I need to shrink the size of a Blu-ray disc (to fit on a 25GB disc) I always use RipBot to convert the Blu-ray stream using the AVCHD and the lock size options. My question is if there is a method, either using RipBot or any other software, to preserve the original VC-1 stream from the Blu-ray instead of converting it to AVCHD?

Thanks!

[Abdur Rafi]

when i rip movie,its auto hard mixed the subtitle on screen.how i do in this?
please give the urgent solution .

[benjyv]

@soneca

The existing files in that directory ( D: ) has each one a name like : 00000 , 00001 , 00002 , 00003 , etc.
Of course I've renamed the output files ( like : test 1 , test 2 , test 3 etc ) and I gave them another path ( C: ) , but the result was the same : the output files are identically with the greatest file encoded. the others are ignored.
Why ?
What should I do ???

[soneca]

When you choose either .m2ts RipBot automatically recognizes the main movie.
If you want to encode any other party other than the main movie will have to extract using tsMuxeR before.

you're not dropping your HD audio on these are you? such a shame if you are. just use tsMuxeR and mux the desired streams into bluray structure. I always pull the main playlist to do this (use bdinfo to find which one is the main one). this ensures you get the full movie (some discs have multiple m2ts files for the movie) and it has the original chapter list, which is nice to have. a decent amount of movies will fit without any encoding. if it's too large you'll have to re-encode the video track though

how are you separately adding them. I just tried to add a random m2ts from a bluray and ripbot just pops up the playlist and file for the main movie. this leads me to believe you need to remux them and/or move them outside of the bluray structure and then encode them. I just tried the move option and it seems to work. ripbot pops up info for that specific file rather than the whole bluray

[pacaveli211]

please give the urgent solution .

"its auto hard mixed the subtitle on screen"
I do not know what this means
you can add hardcoded subs under the 2nd page of the picture properties (button next to encoding bitrate)

if you're getting a subtitle track that has forced subs mixed with normal subs it means the original track is that way and just has the forced flag for those necessary
if going to bluray you can just pull the original track and mux it in, it will keep the forced flags

Thanks for your input pacaveli211.

To answer your question - no I'm not encoding the audio. I just stream it out or merge it in later using tsMuxerGUI.

Your other suggestion, to use tsMuxer, is also something I'm doing, but sometimes (as you also mention) the movie itself is too large and you need to shrink it so that it fits on a 25GB Blu-ray disc, and this is where my previous questions comes in :)

the only way you can 'preserve the original stream' is if it fits. AVCHD is a format, not a codec. I think you mean keep it as vc-1 instead of encoding to h.264. I personally don't know of anything that encodes to vc-1.
not like it would do you any good anyways...it's not like you'll get better quality by keeping the same codec

[essential]

Quick subtitle question, i've tried twice. I'm loading in the mt2s into Ripbot, and everything seems to load properly, and i'm selecting "English" in the subtitle drop down list from the "Blu-ray Structure" screen.

Then I do a custom ratio with manual crop, and encode to 720 without black bars. The resulting mkv looks great but the subtitles are not in the file. Am I missing a step, am I supposed to be "building them in picture" ? I always thought that meant they were hardcoded into the video stream and they are on the screen all the time, not just selectable?

Any advice would be appreciated.

[pacaveli211]

to hardcode subtitles you have to utilize the method I explained above: http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1428064&postcount=8394
otherwise they'll just be 'selectable' subtitles
also this page belongs to me >=)

someone a few pages back indicated some issues with raw h.264 encoding. I've noticed that when I encode raw h.264 my resulting bluray will play fine
but the navigation doesn't work properly (chapter skip, fast forward, etc). yet encoding the same file from within an mkv container seems to work fine and does not result in this issue.
bummer, that extra step to mux the video into mkv is time consuming

i want "selectable" english subtitles, which is why i wasn't sure what i was doing wrong. i thought i did everything right, but two times now they don't show up. hardcoding is not what i want, i was just asking about build in picture because i wasn't sure if that's what i needed for selectable subtitles, or if that meant hardcoding.

thanks for the response though.
