You need special version of AviSynth.dll in /system32 (If you have x32) and MT.dll in AviSynth 2.5\plugins directory

Hi, thanks for replying :)

Thing is, I have put the MT.dll inside the Avisynth plugins folder, and I have also put the modifiied avisynth.dll from the MT 0.7 package in the windows\system32 folder...

I'm using Vista x64 could it be that that is the problem?

Thanks, Rob

I'm ready to test a new release with the bluray output :)

[Ajax_Undone]

Ok just figured you would be interested...

I'm ready to test a new release with the bluray output
It's almost ready. I have to add subtitles support and create new correct formula for size calculation :( Overhead seems to be lower than after TSRemux :/

[lighttear]

Hi, I'm facing this problem when converting a 23,976 bluray film into a 25fps PAL compliant movie: the audio is not correctly stretched so I looked in the avisynth script created from RipBot264 and changed in this way:
original avs script:
#Tempo
video=AssumeFPS(video,25)
#Delay
audio=DelayAudio(audio,0)
#Normalize
audio=Normalize(audio,1)
#AudioDub
audio=ConvertAudioTo16bit(audio)
AudioDub(video,audio) <<<< IT'S NOT ENOUGH

#Triming
Trim(0,3125)

my working correction is:

#Tempo
video=AssumeFPS(video,25)
#Delay
audio=DelayAudio(audio,0)
#Normalize
audio=Normalize(audio,1)
#AudioDub
audio=ConvertAudioTo16bit(audio)
TimeStretch(tempo = (100.0*25.0)/23.976) <<< NECESSARY
AudioDub(video,audio)

#Triming
Trim(0,3125)

-----------
I hope this helps

Cheers

Once again I have to do many encodes to create correct formula for Blu-Ray. Current formula works well only if you use TSRemux otherwise few megabytes are always wasted (undersize).

I want to convert Quicktime HD movie trailers to play on my Blu-Ray player in full 1080 glory.

Can this tool convert ACC 5.1 to AC3 5.1?

Since all the HD movie trailers from Apples site contain ACC 5.1 for the audio.

I know it can accept MP4 container as input and can output to a .m2ts stream, so all it really needs to make this happen is the audio conversion.

I can get to MP4 container from Quicktime using the Quicktime Pro version to export the video and audio with passthrough settings to an MP4 container.

[Atak_Snajpera]

If you use true MP4 instead of renamed MOV everything should go well.

[KingWeaver88]

how do you batch convert files with this program

[DJ_Price]

how do you batch convert files with this program

Easy. Click add, then do all the settings you require, then press done, then click on add again & u can add another video. Repeat the process as many times needed, then when finished adding your videos to the list click start.

Use my installer and install everything... It contains all that you will need to encode your video successfully...

Thanks.
BTW, I have some question:
1) What are the differences between those profile? I have a powerful computer, and I don't mind about the ripping time. So what is the best setting to have a highest quality with the smallest file size?
2) How can I choose to encode the audio more than 128kbps[abr]?
3) What is output speed?
3) What is a/v same length?
Thank you.
I appreciate it.

[Atak_Snajpera]

If you don't care about final file size use CQ@22 (CQ=Constant Quality)

What are the differences between those profile? I have a powerful computer, and I don't mind about the ripping time. So what is the best setting to have a highest quality with the smallest file size?

Those profiles were designed for specific compatibility. Don't change anything. Level 4.1 profile will give you very good quality.

2) How can I choose to encode the audio more than 128kbps[abr]?

AAC 128kbps is enough for stereo. In my opinion quality is comparable to MP3 192kbps.

3) What is output speed?
You can change how fast your video will be played.

3) What is a/v same length?

Audio/Video Same Length. Audio or video will be CUT or Stretched (audio only) in order to maintain the same A/V length (duration)

[IYG]

I do care about final file size.
I have another question.
What is B-Pyramid and m.e.algorithm?
In GK guide, they set it HEX instead of UMH.

I originally had problems with k-lite mega codec pack, but after reinstalling it adding the fraunhofer mp3 codec all was well with ripbot. I personally prefer to install just one main codec pack rather that loads of packs. Just my opinion :)

AAC 128kbps is enough for stereo. In my opinion quality is comparable to MP3 192kbps.I have to agree with you on that one. 48kpbs he-acc is the same sound quality as an mp3 at 128kbps. I have problem ecoding my rips at 64kbps he-aac as I don't think a standard stereo sound need anymore, it produces very good quality sound.

[Atak_Snajpera]

48kpbs he-acc is the same sound quality as an mp3 at 128kbps

HE-AAC 48kbps will never sound as good as MP3 128kbps. Why? Because stereo separation is very compressed. Sound has less depth. I made few test so I know what I say.

I personally prefer to install just one main codec pack rather that loads of packs. Just my opinion

FFDShow is a codec pack . Sort of :) Like I said. FFDShow +Haali is all you need! Keep it simple :)

[Ranguvar]

YES. K-Lite and the others have caused me problems when I tested it, and I've helped on tech support forums where it has screwed up PCs... usually, ffdshow + Halli is all you need. A codec pack seems like one big lovely thing to you, but to your PC it's a mess of different pieces, whereas ffdshow is one nice package around a few decoding libraries and Haali is one good splitter. Codec packs are bad even for decoding... never use them on a machine that will be doing more than super-casual encoding.

[bibikul]

I ran a 1280x544 mkv throu console, blu-ray profile and the result was also 1280x544.

PLEASE ANSWER

soo, is there a way to make this feature to work? I think is verry important for the blu ray output, don't you?

[Ajax_Undone]

K-Lite though they try to stay onto of things they always seem to be lacking and I find them wanting...

Now don't get me wrong Codec packs are good for the every day n00b!3 but suck for codec control in newer apps, and are not a thing to have while encoding... Using the latest Codec gives you Three advantages over your work 1) Better algorithms 2) Sometimes faster encodes and 3) Better compatibility...

So if your going to complain at this point about failed encodes and a/v sync or a plethora of other stuff that just might be an out dated codec, Stop and check to see if you have three things installed: The latest Haali, FFDshow, and AVIsynth.

These three things come in the installer for RipBot that is located in my signature...

If you don't want to update using the RipBot installer for what ever reason Update the codec's by use of the links on this Page...

@Atak_Snajpera:

Just checking in to see if you've noted the ResampleAudio() bug. It should have two inputs (audio,bitrate). However, in the current version, only the bitrate is specified.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Now I use this (24->25)
audio=TimeStretch(audio,tempo=104.166687470095)

Old method wasn't bad but current is more precise.

[georgevalkov]

It is a bad practice to use fixed paths such as C:\...
on some computers a non-administrator will not be able to create and access folders such as c:\temp.
Further more C: does not exist on some computers.

http://gfc.my.contact.bg/tests/tmp/RipBot264-fixed-path-bug.png

[Atak_Snajpera]

Create RipBot264.ini in notepad with these lines

[settings]
StoreTempFilesin=AUTO

Change auto to D , E ...

AUTO means partition with the highest amount of free space.

Further more C: does not exist on some computers.

If C: does not exist it won't be used. See above.

Next time don't use red color. I'm not blind...

[georgevalkov]

I still believe that You have to optimise this. Add a settings button on the main dialogue. That path should point to %temp% or some folder that can by accessed by limited users. And it should be a folder, not a drive letter. Do I need to call the administrator, for every program that wants to use the root of a hard-disk? :eek:

Also use larger fonts, I really cannot read anything without zooming the screen!

Good luck! You can do better that this.

Hey the next installer will take care of *.ini paths so upon install you can select where the temp folder will be... (Once set you can edit the ini from a shortcut in the (start menu => Programs => RB264=> Advanced Settings) I will be releasing it in about a day...


*Edit
LOL the InI is dependent on the internal settings in ripbot so any extra info in the INI is not even counted... My bad! So how hard would it be to add Option to alow the user the ability to select where the temp path will be stored using the INI config that you already have setup...

You reduce speed therefore audio is out of sync

I mean I decimate it to 23.976 pts. I didn't change the output speed.
I asked if I can use DGindex (DGMPGDec) instead of Haali to separate the video and audio.
In the guide that you showed me, they said: "A default value for B-frame Pyramid option of On (when available) works well." So why don't you use this option?
BTW, should I use "do not crop" or "Automatically"?
Thank you for your patient and knowledge.

Bitrate calc for bluray is inconsistent, if I select "lock file size" to 4480 it will pick bitrate of 4355. If I deselect the "lock file size" (still bluray structure), the bitrate of 4355 yields estimated filesize of 4551 (MP4 and MKV bitrate/filesize are consistent both ways). Basically ticking "lock file size" on-and-off on-and-off, will cause values in "kbps" and "file size[mb]" text boxes to alternate growth... and selecting 700mb target will cause negative bitrate value (on blue ray and mkv, but not mp4)

I still don't how to reverse bluray formula therefore size is not calculated correctly. MP4 and MKV are very easy to calculate but BluRay ... :(

and selecting 700mb target will cause negative bitrate value (on blue ray and mkv, but not mp4)

It's not a bug. If you select to small size and your audio is to big then you get negative values.

Hello Atak_Snajpera, thank you very much for this awesome application. :thanks:

Just wanted to mention...

I loaded up an AVIsynth script and DTS audio seperately. When RipBot attempted to encode the audio, I received the notorious Windows warning "aften.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."... but RipBot continues to encode the audio regardless of this warning.

I swapped the aften.exe with the x86 (non SSE) version that I downloaded previously and it's working fine now (without the Windows warning).

Any idea what caused this?

EDIT: Also, after RipBot has finished encoding the audio where does it go? Does it get stored in a temp folder? It didn't appear in the output folder I allocated.
