HI ,

Unfortunatelly all 1080 encodes resulted bad deinterlaced :( using 4.o option )

http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/PapaJohn/54/Interlaced-Versus-Progressive_files/image010.jpg here is the result of an encode - interlaced -when fps are 29,97 fps

What soft/softs should I use to deinterlace it, to get a good encode , without interlaced images ???

I tested a lot of movies and ALL , but absolutelly ALL resulted in bad results , no matter what option I used ( 4.o ; 4.1 , etc)

I am seeing this quite a bit as well but only with my DVD sources, not Blu-Ray, and am interested in how to fix this. I've tried many different settings to no avail.

Hard to tell without knowing how much you have zoomed in with the screen shot but to me that looks like an interlaced source that has been resized or an interlaced source that has been resized before being de-interlaced.

@The Scientist

Here is another ENCODE performed with another profile ( 4.0 progresive )

the "lines" are similar :(

Maybe ATAK will tell us what aditional settings are necesary .

14th May 2011, 10:37
not really that hard to work out ...

Either:
1) use a deinterlacer before encoding progressively
2) encode with MBAFF (interlaced)

Use the [HIGH 4.0] HD . Progressive option and in the properties use tff de-interlace decimate to 23.976 fps and encode tell us your result after that.

QBhd
15th May 2011, 05:17
One thing I have learned... if your source is interlaced, you should run it through DGIndex to see what's what... is it TFF or BFF... is it Hybrid with mostly film or Hybrid mostly interlaced... too many things to try and guess at when a good indexing will tell you all you need to know.

I've got just these fps option :

Well ,in this case I choose TFF 29,976 and decimate to 23.976 ...I hope it will be good enough

7ekno
15th May 2011, 09:23
So in this case which one to choose ???

The one that matches your source ...

Download & Install MediaInfo, if your source is AVC (AVCHD or BD), then the container should have those details (and the answer to your question) ....

Anyone have a suggestion to this problem? I like ripbot and I also like BD-Rebuilder. The problem is that BD-Rebuilder recommends using one version of FFDshow and Ripbot requires a newer version of FFdshow. Is there a way that I can install two version of FFdshow to satisfy both programs? Please explain how. Thanks!

I don't believe so, as installing one version of ffdshow will simply overwrite whatever version you have installed. Probably the only way around this is if you are running an x64 PC where you could install one version of ffdshow (x64) and a separate version (x32). I assume Ripbot uses the x32 version, not sure about BD Rebuilder

I had some problems with the BD Rebuilder using the two latest versions of ffdshow.
The r3785 (http://www.videohelp.com/download/ffdshow_rev3785_20110323_clsid.exe) is working well with RipBot and BD Rebuilder.

If ffdshow works with RipBot264, it should also work with BD-Rebuilder even though it's not the recommended version.

Disregarding my personal subtitle problems with RipBot I think I've run into my first real problem.

I am trying to rip my dvd of District 9. No matter what I've tried so far, audio is extremely out of sync. If I change the audio delay I can get it in sync, but it ends up drifting so doesn't stay in sync through the whole movie. If I rip the movie with Handbrake this problem doesn't occur. If I check for the audio delay Handbrake is using, and then use that same audio delay in RipBot the audio is out of sync.

Hi :)

I like to use RipBot264 but I can't. I have a "Demuxing error".

I read a lot of previous pages but can't find a sollution.
So, I need some help.

My PC is new with Win7 X64. Media Player 12. I have split my HDD to 2 partitions C:\ & F:\ RipBot installed in F:
I also have installed AviSynth , Haali Media Spliter , ffdshow and NetFramwork.

I Uninstall all codec packs and reinstalled. Same error.


My steps was:

Add - video... - biggestfile.m2ts -
a new window opens with "BluRay structure - Select streams". There I can't see anything in chapters or video:

"Νο chapters, no audio, no subtitles"

If I press Ok - I have a Demuxing error



I don't know what you me to include for your reference so below are some files:

I thing I am far from what is the right way to make a MKV. :(

Do I have to use first a program like AnyDVD HD to decode the protection on bluray?
I thought ripbot do this. Not?

I have DVDFab, for my DVD's, it's ok with this program?
Some more info please I am new to all this as you understand.

1) Install ANYDVD HD
2) Make sure that ANYDVD HD is running in background (tray icon)
3) Open any .m2ts directly from Blu-Ray disc in ripbot264

Atak,

I am running into a problem again with "Vicky Christina Barcelona" where RipBot gets stuck on "Please wait...initializing." Back in an earlier version of RipBot you released an update to handle the weird 3.1 audio that some discs, like this one, have, and I am wondering if that is the problem again.

I can see in processes that "Aften.exe" is running, but it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?

Besides the explanation of the Atak... You must create in "Encoder Setttings"

Or, If you know what you're doing... Open any TXT Profiile, configure and Save as... [HIGH 3.1] Custom

What is framerate detected by ripbot264? 29.97 , 23.976 or 25fps? Compare video duration reported by ripbot with handbreak.

ripbot sees it as 29.97, if I don't touch anything and just watch the preview in ripbot before ripping the movie the audio is already way out of sync (if I check the audio tracks in ripbot it says audio delay is 39881ms). Like I said in my earlier post, I can mess with the audio delay to get the audio in sync. But when you watch the movie it drifts so ends up out of sync the longer you watch the movie.

For movies that are 29.97 and have horrible interlace lines I choose reverse telecine in ripbot and leave decimate restore to 23.976. It's worked so far on all the other movies. Doing that the audio is still way off. I've also tried switching to mkv and just doing a stream copy of the audio and that is also out of sync probably because ripbot is seeing that 39881ms delay.

Ripping the movie with ripbot gets me the same length as in handbrake according to mediainfo, 1h 52mn.

Hi everyone. I'm having a problem with encoding some of my files to .mkvs. Some of my files will only get to 99.9% and then just sit there. In every case that this happens, the x264 process is not running anymore. Unfortunately, it doesn't create a log file in Ripbot's log directory. Is there any information I can pull from the job's directory that might help? I also have a screenshot below to show how the encode is "stuck". Any ideas? Thank you!

Hi guys,

I'm sorry to answer to this old message but as a developer I need to bring some explanations:

I've been using Ripbot 1.16.3 for a while now and have switched to 1.16.4. I have noticed that MP4box isn't addressing files over 2Gb.

Supporting or not large files rather depends on the runtime than the development itself.

That being said, all runtimes support large files except some official mingw/mingw32 ones which rely on the microsoft visual 6 (1998) C runtime. You can actually ask for using newer runtimes at build time but the support is incomplete. The solution is to use a unofficial mingw or to patch some mingw (resp. mingw32) headers to directly call the right functions. We've discussed this among developers and concluded we would wait for mingw to provide some support to a runtime newer than 1998 (which is in the roadmap).

On Windows, cygwin and microsoft free tools (http://gpac.wp.institut-telecom.fr/2011/04/18/command-line-gpac-compiling-on-windows-x86-using-free-microsoft-visual-c/) work with no restriction.

I hope it is clearer now.

Solving or avoiding asynchrony when you encode from DVD files:
Process from an original DVD... The encoding of DVD files is still a reality.

I wait that my written English is correct, and doesn't come for confuse them.
When joining the VOB files have two methods that do the same thing: PgcDemux and "DVD Shrink".
First, you must make a copy (decrypt) of the DVD for the HD only the main movie and without compression,
or 100% of his size using the DVDFab or AnyDVD.
The "DVD Shrink" also removes the protection of DVD, but he is out of date for some things.
Not always a difference of length of the audio will be a delay.
Always consider the whole files. A partial copy or a cutting doesn't serve as a parameter.


Follow the reading...Use PgcDemux (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/PgcDemux) to join the VOB files.
The PgcDemux doesn't solve problems of interlaced,
but when you join the VOB files with your application, certainly solves the problem of delay.
The PgcDemux really stabilizes, while joining the VOB files, ending any asynchrony. He works from the IFO file.

http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/7771/pgcdemux.jpg


Single process... DVD Shrink (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/DVD_Shrink), It does the same thing as the PgcDemux.
1º) Open DVD Shrink -> Edit -> Preferences -> Output Files -> uncheck the last two items
- Split VOB files into 1GB size chunks (recommended)
- Logical remapping of enabled streams.
http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/6888/dvdshrink.jpg

2º) Then click the tab Re-author
In "DVD Browser" locate the DVD folder with VOB files.
http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/4715/dvdshrink1.jpg

3º) Going for the directory, open the folder with the DVD files.

4º) You will visualize the VOB files totalized into a single file -> click 2x on the file.

5º) Double click "Title 1" to create the DVD file structure
The file is totaled transported for the window of the side.

6º) In the Compression Settings tab -> Video -> change for No Compression

7º) As soon as it opens the window "Backup DVD" -> in the tab "Target Device" ->
in "Select backup target " -> change or stay as "Hard Disk Folder"
Choose the destination to save the new copy... below, disable "Create VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS subfolders"
Remembering that while entering in the RipBot264 in "Properties", if closed "Deinterlace" and the "Decimate",
is a sign that everything is OK, and will not occur asynchrony.

When a software encoder accepts only ISO images...
File tab -> click Backup...
Once you open the window DVD Backup -> Target Device tab -> under Select backup target: leave as "ISO Image File"
Choose the destination to save the ISO image.


Other methods to create ISO image, DVD folders and files...

1. tsMuxeR (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/tsMuxeR)
-> Use "Add" for the VOB first, and "Join" for the remainder -> and select "Demux" -> Start demuxing
If you only have a MPEG-2 file, also make the tsMuxeR demuxing before. Will be extracted MPV and AC3 files.
continues below...

2. DVDAuthorGUI (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/DVDAuthorgui)
-> add title -> MPV video file -> AC3 audio file -> File -> select "Create ISO after Authoring" -> author DVD -> Name the new folder -> Save
You finished of reassemble the ISO image, folders and files from DVD!


Other support tools:DelayCut (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/delaycut) and Mpg2Cut2 (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Mpg2Cut2)
However, if you continue having problems with audio gives a chance for the DelayCut. Make a "demux" of the audio before.
The DVDAuthorGUI is also ideal to create the DVD files structure.
I hope I have myself made understanding in the explanation of everything, and that come on be useful.


You can also do the encoding of the DVD without audio, joining the audio later:
"Demux" of everything with the PgcDemux, and AC3 audio without conversion.

Joining the audio files in containers:
MP4 use the YAMB (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1495596&postcount=9535)
MKV use the MKVmerge
AVCHD use the tsMuxer

Extract DVD subtitles: SubRip (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Subrip) or Subtitle Edit (http://code.google.com/p/subtitleedit/downloads/list) No installer - portable version.

I'm having isssus with Ripbot v.4 and 5. I updated to 5 when it came out but then I started having constant video freezing but audio kept going fine. So I reverted back to v4, but same problem. So them I uninstalled Ripbot and all the codecs is needs and ran a regisrty cleaner and checked for orphaned folders and deleted them, rebooted. Reinstalled Ripbot v4 again with all the lastest codecs it requests. Make anothe AVCHD and same problem still, and so I again updated to v5 again. Why am I having this issue? I'm playing this on $ony DVD+R and $ony DVD+R DL on PS3 and standalone Bluray player. Please get back with with a possible resolution. Thanks.

Hi everyone. I'm having a problem with encoding some of my files to .mkvs. Some of my files will only get to 99.9% and then just sit there. In every case that this happens, the x264 process is not running anymore. Unfortunately, it doesn't create a log file in Ripbot's log directory. Is there any information I can pull from the job's directory that might help? I also have a screenshot below to show how the encode is "stuck". Any ideas? Thank you!

The log isn't created until the job is finished :(. Do you still have space on your HDD?

I've tried it now and the 4.1 setting and still froze, but it was worse than the 4.0 option. Someone please help me before I waste anymore DVDRs and DVDR DL. Thanks.

Have you ever heard about DVD+RW? Try to use lower recording speed (2X for example)

It is burning at 4x and Ive also tried 2x as well. It something else that went wrong from the update from 3x to 4x, and now the issue is still around in 5x.

give us some more info on what you're doing
what's your source? audio / video codec?
you're using profile 4.0? did you change anything in the profile?
are you changing anything else?
what's your audio output?
have you tried encoding to mkv (will need to be around 4200MB/7600MB) and muxing to AVCHD with TSMuXeR?
have you installed newest FFDShow?
do your discs play on real bluray players?
have you tried more than one movie?

I've been having a strange issue for the last three months or so: as soon as Ripbot begins muxing the file at the end of the encoding process, Windows crashes, often without so much as a blue screen, Windows 7, SP1, 64 bit. The result is a corrupt 200-600mb mkv file: clearly the crash happens as soon as muxing begins.

I've tried three versions of Ripbot v1.16.3, v1.16.4, and v1.16.5, the same result. And after this first crash Windows begins to crash repeatedly, whether or not Ripbot is running. The first crash after a Windows reinstall every single time happens at the muxing stage in Ripbot. I've tried everything I could think of: Windows reinstalls, driver updates & rollbacks, using different HDDs for processing files in Ripbot, RAM & CPU tests etc. etc. Nothing has worked. So haven't been able to encode anything for a long time now, and been going crazy with the crashes.

Atak, is there any way I can find a workaround this if nothing works? Is there a way to process the file in Ripbot and then use Mkvmerge outside ripbot to mux audio-video streams? Mkvmerge works perfectly fine whenever I mux or demux audio-video streams, so this issue is not related to Mkvtoolnix.

Any ideas?

A way to skip the muxing stage would be to go to "job*_MuxFiles.cmd" and delete the commands inside or to delete the cmd itself.
It can be found in the "*:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job*" folder.

Anyone ever have an issue where you select a playlist but Ripbot keeps reverting back to a different playlist? I have run into this issue with some BluRay TV Show discs. For example, a disc will have three episodes. I will go ahead and create three jobs (each time choosing a different playlist). However, I have run into issues where even though I choose a different playlist each time Ripbot actually ends up using the same playlist. Doesn't seem to happen all the time, but can be frustrating since the times it has happened I didn't realize until after the jobs were done (so I end up with 3 encodes of the same playlist instead of 3 separate encodes).

I'm making a AVCHD file. I'm using everything that Ripbot asks for including the lastest updates to all codecs needed for Ripbot to work. I'm also using Windows .Net Framework 4.0 or 4.1. The newest one as well. The audio stays the same since your choose 2-Pass and video I change to 720P (True) as which hadn't ever been an issue before. No, I haven't changed any other settings. I am making the mkv to fit either a DVDR or a DVDR DL if mkv is bigger than a DL I don't mess with it. Yes, this is on a real blurayu player as well. It's a standalone $ony bluray player. Yes, it's been screwing up all my movies for quite sometime now now.

Lighto, thanks, will try this out. One question though: if I delete "job*_MuxFiles.cmd" would I still get a processed video file in the output?
