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

[Atak_Snajpera]

@8ternity
Which one is working for you? Ripbot264 is set to create strict AVCHD structure (empty redundant folders are removed)

@muhadi
try Restore -> 23.976 fps

I assume we're still talkin about only TrueHD (i.e. it can fix gaps with DTS tracks)
eac3to can't fix gaps in trueHD. I'm not sure about DTS-MA though.

@Lobstaman
Did you try to manually select resolution? ( Custom [x,xx:1] )

[pacaveli211]

well like I was saying, this is eac3to fixing the overlaps, isn't it??
[a04] Starting 2nd pass...
[a04] Realizing DTS gaps...

so how about giving a choice somewhere. whether to keep the original audio track or to demux to wav and then do flac or whatever else???
cuz I know I'm not the only one making bd25s nor the only one who likes too keep DTS-HD MA. and this way the person can choose what they'd prefer to do with the audio.

[Atak_Snajpera]

We all know that x264 encoder is extremly efficient so 20-25Mbps is more that enough for 1920x1080. BD25 has also enough space for uncompressed audio.
Quick example:
20Mbps (bitrate for video) / 8 = 2.5 MB/s
120 min movie = 7200 s

2.5MB/s * 7200 = 18000 MB

23830 MB (real BD25 size) - 18000 MB (video size) = 5830 MB (to be used by audio stream)

48000(Hz)*8(channels)*2(16bit)=750KB/s

750KB/s*7200s=5400000KB=5273 MB

18000MB + 5273 MB = 23273 MB

As you can see despite 8 channel audio uses only ~5GB on disc. Also don't forget that DTS-MA is not really supported in strict AVCHD structure.

[pacaveli211]

I don't mux to AVCHD for BD25's, I mux to bluray structure.
and once again....there are more reasons than just space to keep tracks like DTS-HDMA. So why does it even matter if you can fit uncompressed audio?
if you can fit the original DTS-HDMA track and use ~2GB less space it'd be stupid to waste that 2GB of space with PCM audio....
you have the same audio....and use less space, why is there any argument there?
with DTS-HDMA some movies still have to be dropped quite low to fit BD25. robin hood, for example, I had to drop under 16000. imagine if I'd wasted even more space using PCM

I don't understand why you always insist on arguing simply because you don't like something or you wouldn't personally want to use it. I know this is your tool and all that...but if it's something people would
use and can benefit from...why not add it?

I've tested right now with my brother PS3; one has been memuxed with TsMuxerGUI from the ripbot tools; remuxe in bluray structure.

Look what PS3 show (Data Disc);

All folders is there with BLURAY structure export in tsmuxer. What im questionnig myself, did export in bluray structure can cause disc faillure in PS3 has burned on DVD5/9 format? I will remux it in AVCHD + reburn and retest, before bring back my brother ps3.

Thanks!

[8ternity]

HI Atak;

I've remuxe in AVCHD with tsmuxerGUI and reburn and it detected has AVCHD disc in the ps3. I will bring the new burned disc and tested in the LG blu-ray home theater this weekend.

Thank You,

8ternity

[pacaveli211]

I've messed with bluray vs avchd mux before
I burned a bd9 after muxing to bluray, a bluray player and a PS3 wouldn't read it
if you're burning DVD5/DVD9 use AVCHD
if you're burning BD25/BD50 use Bluray
I've never tried muxing to AVCHD for a bluray disc.....but I'm not wasting a bd-r to find out if it works or not =P

[Atak_Snajpera]

@pacaveli211
Use BD-Rebuilder. Problem solved.

Hello.
When I try to add my .m2ts files, ripbot 264 display this error : (Cannot Open Files c:\temp\ripbot264temp\job1\blu-ray_structure_info.txt. This file is not found)
Do you know what happen ? Thanks.

[nst6563]

Is there any benefit to using CoreAVC w/Cuda support to decode the video for Ripbot vs ffdshow's ffmpeg-mt?

Just to answer my own question and in case anyone else was interested...Using CoreAVC w/cuda for decoding the source blu-ray video shaved around an hour off the encoding time.

[chunkylover67]

I'm thinking for the next version of Ripbot264 that perhaps there could be an autoupdate feature or something? Like, there'd be a notification that would pop up whenever you release an update.

[pacaveli211]

-Atak
but how will using that program help me convince you to add HD audio support to ripbot? =)

[soneca]

The algorithm used by Dolby has always been more efficient ie same quality using less space.
The difference between HD and conventional audio(1536/640kbps) is minimal, just a blinded test.
What marketing and a 4 decibels(DTS) do not cause people's heads ...
Sorry for my English ...

[mpamphs70]

Hi to everybody,

Firstly, I wanted to add my self in the thanks list of this great tool.
:thanks: Atak.

Recently I bought the Spider Man trilogy.
While with Spider Man I & 3 everything went fine, I got an avisynth error with Spider Man 2 and particularly I followed the next steps:

1) With anydvd HD and tsmuxer I created a blue ray disk on the hard drive.
By looking inside the STREAM folder of the blue ray disk there are multiple smaller files and not just a big one to select (inside the initial blue ray disk).

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll104/mpamphs70/VIDEO%20ENCODING/SPIDERMANII_AVISYNTHERROR.jpg

2) After a while I got the following error:
http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll104/mpamphs70/VIDEO%20ENCODING/SPIDERMANII_AVISYNTHERROR_2.jpg

Any help would be appreciated.

friends
i am using ripbot software...after a lot of try ripping my avchd video with ac3 (5,1 channl) ripping...whenever i try to play the video on pc it works fine but it doesnt play smooth on BD PLAYER then i tried it on PS3 but no response...i tried MKV format..then i tried MP4 and the same thing happens.. dont know what i am missing and what is the problem.. Please help me out.

Thanks

[pacaveli211]

-amitabhbansal
what are the specs on your source and output?
FPS / Resolution / options used / etc

-soneca
we're not discussing DTS vs AC3. And back when TV's and monitors were CRT/standard def you couldn't really tell the difference between xvid rips and dvd....doesn't mean there's not a difference.
I'm aware AC3 is more efficient.....I also know DTS always seems to sound better. lastly burning a bluray and dropping HD sound would be stupid.

if that doesn't fix it you can also try changing your VC-1 codec in FFDShow. that's been known to fix it at times as well

[juGGaKNot]

new jobs can be added while encoding

that is great.

What about "folder selection", is that in the plans ? ( i have ofer 5000 videos that i want to convert to psp... )

[amitabhbansal]

pacaveli211

Here are the details you need to know
in Ripbot Video
Video = filename.m2v
Profile = [High 4.0] HD . BluRay . Consoles
FPS = 25
Frames = 14171
Mode = CQ
CRF = 22

In Audio
Audio = filename.ac3
Profile = x.xCopy STREAM
Frequency = 48000
Channels = 6
Normalize = OFF
Save As = MKV

I have not changed anything and started the job...and the rest i told u b4.
Thanks

I installed AnyDVDHD v.6660, it didn't make any difference.
I uninstall everything (avisynth,ffdshow,haali media splitter).
I rebooted and installed everything again, also made no difference both with AnyDVDHD v.6660 and v.6710.
I changed VC-1 codec from wmv9 to libavodec, still the problem existed.
After searching around in this thread I found a previous post by Atak saying that simpler solutions are often the best and particularly by selecting ANY .m2ts from Blu-Ray disc in ripbot264.
That was the solution.:)
Using AnyDVDHD v.6710 I selected an m2ts file (anyone) directly from the blue ray disk and the selected streams were demuxed successfully.
Now I'm happy encoding. :thanks: for the help.

Brother i dont have BD recorder, i have recorded the video on my sony handycam which is HDR-XR500E...i want to keep those videos without loosing quality in my dvds so that i can see it on TV.

[fmagreed2]

First and foremost, I want to thank you from making this program. It's exactly what I had been searching for!

Sorry if this has been asked before, I just don't have the time to read through 429 pages!

Is there any plan to add support for ffdshow 64-bit? Currently, I need to install both the 32 and 64 bit versions. It'd be nice not to need the 32-bit version.

[pacaveli211]

BD5 / BD9 does not require a bluray burner, they contain bluray content on a dvd5/dvd9 disc

Thanks, but not what I meant. If I install the 64 bit version of ffdshow (and not the 32 bit), RipBot won't detect ffdshow as installed. It won't run.

In order to run RipBot, I have to install the 32 bit version of ffdshow.

[soneca]

Ok, I did not understand.

But if I'm not mistaken, for while the RipBot only supports 32-bit version of ffdshow.

I came accross frame corruption issue with v1.16.3, when compressing some video into .mkv

problem as following

please try the sample video i got problem with
http://www.mediafire.com/?4z2as0yjvnjoage

I can even see the frame corrupted in ripbot preview feature.

but when i used the old version of 1.10.8, video came out just fine.

Can you please fix this? Thanks a lot~

Try a previous version of x264, see if the artifacts are still there.
I will check out your sample when I get home.:)

Update: The artifacts appears even when I open the original source file when I open it in MPC-HC, it seems that the problem lies with how ffdshowmt decode the file.
The earlier version of RipBot works fine as it index the file with DGAVCIndex before encoding.
Things changed since v1.13.0.

v1.13.0
Added: support for x264 64bit (up to 10% faster encoding)
Added: if COPY STREAM is not selected assumeFPS will also adjust audio speed (easy 25 -> 23.976 conversion)
Added: custom resize profile with locked aspect ratio
Added: always first VST_01_x.vob will be indexed instead of VIDEO_TS.VOB
Added: language combobox for audio stream
Added: support for .sup subtitles (Warning!!! Original 1080p .sup WILL NOT be visible in 720p!!!)
Added: support for .ass .ssa subtitles in mkv container
Added: chapter extraction from .mp4
Added: UAC manifest (from now on you don't have to disable UAC)
Added: FFDshow DV decoder will be automatically enabled if necessary
Added: BD-25 size
Changed: Audio delay for convenient moved to Properties
Changed: .ts and .m2t files will be decoded via DirectShowSource instead of DGIndex or DGAVCdec (Reason: Faster decoding with FFDshow MT)
Changed: Audio from .ts and .m2t files will be demuxed in one pass
Changed: A/V same length combobox removed. CUT function is now always on (Audio and Video will always have the same lenght)
Changed: 'Tahoma' font to 'Consolas' (Installed by default in Windows Vista and 7)
Fixed: Bug which always resets VC-1 decoder to libavcodec. Default decoder is now wmv9 (Reason: Supports interlaced material)
Fixed: error 'Couldn't import DownMix2Stereo.avs'
Fixed: jobs.ini will be created immediately after creating new job
Update: x264 r1092M , eac3to v3.06 , Oggenc 2.85 aoTuVb5.61 , MediaInfo v0.7.10

I am have tried to make a .mkv from a BD, Batman The Dark Knight. It contains a Dolby TrueHD track. I tried to make a .mkv that can play on my Xtreamer.

In the latest Ripbot246 version after demuxing the videostream it only shows up 5.1 PCM that can be converted to AC3 or AAC, but I cannot choose direct stream copy. Why? Am I doing something wrong? Is there limitations to the mkv container that it cannot contain Dolby TrueHD.

Otherwise it works fine, and I really like this software Atak has made!

check FLAC option before demuxing.

[~bT~]

I encoded 3 short videos and all results are just black. No audio or video playing.
The profile used was [BASE 3.0] iPOD . iPhone . Zune
Is it just me who is having this problem?

EDIT: Testing another profile.

[~bT~]

Yup, its gotta be the profile. Tested with PSP profile and all is working well.

EDIT1: Profile is exactly the same as it was in the old build. Maybe something has changed in the new x264 build?

EDIT2: The new Simple Mobile Device profile is doing exactly the same thing. No video or audio (black).

EDIT3:
Encode info using iPod & Simple Mobile Device profiles:
Frame rate mode: Constant
Frame rate: 25.000 fps
Original frame rate: 50.000 fps

Encode info using PSP, BluRay & AppleTV profiles:

Frame rate: 25.000 fps

All encodes were done with the same source file.

@Atak;

Error to Report:

Subtitles get a strange import; when it try to add a subtitle, it add an "_" caracter at the end of the name. If i rename it, it add another "_" at the end and get crashed ripbot264 and can't get out of the subtitles import box. I need to force close. but the error is in the import command.

***edit***IF it's demuxed with 1.16.3; 1.16.2 can't add it too... i test it with 1.16.2 right now and it works if it was demuxed by version 1.16.2. It happen sometimes in the old version, i just need to delete the job and re-create and it's corrected. But the version 1.16.3, it happen strongly!

4) open .mkv , select AVCHD , select resolution and then add subtitles

[TinTinFan]

I tried to read this thread but don't follow:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=152030

The Batman Dark Knight contains a Dolby TrueHD that is either demuxed as a .flac file or .w64, depending on wheter you cecked the Flac option or not . If not checked I get the option to use AC3 5.1 640 kbit/s. So ripbot264 uncompress the TrueHd track to a multichannel PCM (.w64?) which is a lossless lossless step, and then encoded to lossy 5.1 AC3. Correct?

What is that talk about AC3 core and DTS core?
Can someone explain?

Thanks,
