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

[west]

Why do you convert mkv with mkv2vob??????? Use m2ts from bluray structure instead. (I assume you have PS3). Log file should be in /Logs Directory

I am trying to stream to the ps3 via tversity... it does not recognize m2ts (from wut i kno) and when u do just change the container to say mpeg i get picture that pixelates and breakes up... and i also dont get the audio desired... the audio is in highdef and not compatible with the streaming capabilities of the ps3.. thus that is y i use mkv2vob... unless there is another option i have failed to acknowledge please fill me in... thanks for your help

heres the log i got for converting the m2ts to mkv:

Ok the latest and last installer for RipBot264 is up enjoy...

As my signature says I have gotten a developer position at my job so I wont be making installers anymore...

[deets]

aww thats bad news for us but good news for you :)

a quick Q regarding ripbot, can it make an mp4 that plays on both psp and ipod? someone asked me if they could use it to make just the one file for both devices and i have no clue :o

[~bT~]

^ yes it does. the iPod version should play in PSP too.

[xaero]

hello again Atak_Snajpera.

i ran into another problem.. im not good at this kinda stuff so please bear with me.. >.<

i tried to encode this file :
http://freetexthost.com/o43cnswtfv

but everytime i do so, mpc pops up and give me this :
DirectShowSource: couldn't open file E:\<titleofvideofile-h264.aac>.mkv:
No combination of filter could be found to render the stream.
(C:\DOCUME~1\Xaero\LOCAS~1\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 1)

i tried to remux it with mmg but i got the same error...

I noticed you are the creator of that nice little "MediaInfo" application. Great work! As you are the Author of this, I thought maybe you could do the following...

I'm not MediInfo author.

[IYG]

I have a question.
When I reduce the resolution, with the same file size why doesn't the bit rate increase?

[Ryu77]

I'm not MediInfo author.

Yes, I just realised that you created a GUI for that app but Zenitram is the actual Author of that application.

I know that we can look at that MediaInfo application to see what encoding options are enabled in the h264 file. From there we can identify it's "true" level. It would be nice to have an application that could automate this though.

Something that could just scan a h264 file and state if it is Blu-ray stand alone/PS3 compatible or not.

Hmmm... I wish I knew how to create software. Atak, where can I start to learn about acquiring such a skill like yours?

doesn't avinaptic work? and which gui did Atak make for Zenitram

[Ryu77]

doesn't avinaptic work? and which gui did Atak make for Zenitram

What does avinaptic do? I am looking for a tool that scans a h264 file and even if it is tagged or encoded in the 5.1 level profile, it can identify if it can indeed be tagged as 4.1 and fit into that profile correctly?

In other words something that can identify the h264 streams true profile level by scanning the encoding options used, not something that simply reads the metadata.

For example... We can change the metadata to label a h264 stream as baseline profile, level 3.0 (or below) but that doesn't mean it will play on an iPod. Changing the metadata, doesn't "make" it fit into that profile.

Atak made a GUI for MediaInfo as I mentioned. Atak's GUI is labelled MediaInfoRaw...

@Atak_Snajpera

another requests for you .. with theses you won't sleep soon :)

#1 - be able to add multiple audio track (was requested by me few days ago. I have a mkv in english and french. I want to create a bluray with the two audio track)

#2 - when you detect audio track in a mkv, if you found subtitles, extract them too and add a option in the main menu, not in the properties(now we have to extract them manually and import them manually)

#3 - support tsmuxer 1.6b (it had the split file .. yéééé)

#4 - be able to add multiple input in the same bluray output. Liek include job 1,job2,job3,job5 into one output (a new option in the jobs list screen). It will be really usefull for anime bluray.

#5 - add a feature in the .ini. Like Last avs script line. Like that you could add filters into the avs and it's only for advanced users :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

#2 - when you detect audio track in a mkv, if you found subtitles, extract them too and add a option in the main menu, not in the properties(now we have to extract them manually and import them manually)

I've noticed that Roman is going to implement srt support in near future so this feature will get the highest priority.

#5 - add a feature in the .ini. Like Last avs script line. Like that you could add filters into the avs and it's only for advanced users

This should be easy to implement.

#3 - support tsmuxer 1.6b (it had the split file .. yéééé)

I still see no reason for doing that. If you want to split file use TSMuxer directly.

#1 - be able to add multiple audio track (was requested by me few days ago. I have a mkv in english and french. I want to create a bluray with the two audio track)
Why do you need two audio tracks in HD rip?

Atak, where can I start to learn about acquiring such a skill like yours?
Do not overestimate me :) I started my adventure with Delphi after high school. Before that I was playing in basic on my ancient C64 :) Good old days.

[survivant001]

it's really important for me. in tsmuxer 1.6b Roman had the feature that I requested. the 000001.m2ts can be split into smaller files. Really usefull when you want to copy the ouput on a FAT32 system. it's all done by tsmuxer, but you have to pass the parameters.


--split-size=4GB



Why do you need two audio tracks in HD rip?


why.. easy. I speak french. I almost always watch movies in there original release. English in english, french in french and jap in jap subtitle :)

but I'm not only here. so when I got a movie with dual audio track, I want to keep them both. Right now the only option is to burn 2 DVD, one with each track... ok with tsmuxer I can include them both, but that's mean I'll have to do job1 in english, after that job2 in french.. but kill the process just after the audio encoding. mux them manually..

This must wait because multi subtitles support is more important for me at the moment.

LOL! Yes, me too. I remember playing around in basic on my good old Commodore 64, since then though I haven't learnt anything at all about Authoring/Programming/Developing (whichever is the best word). I wouldn't know where to start on a Windows PC... Is Delphi a good starting point?

this you can already do. hit properties & just edit away :) unless you're talking about using the same line every time automatically.

Yesterday, I converted Transformers 1080p to mp4. Original file was about 13Gb but after the conversion the mp4 file ended up being 1.5 GB only and when I played it on Ps3 it looked HORRIBLE with lots of microblocking and tearing.

What did I do wrong ?

[Atak_Snajpera]

What did I do wrong ?
You used default bitrate :)

[ajamils]

You used default bitrate :)

SO what am I supposed to use that will not only keep the original video quality but also the surround sound ?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Select Blu-Ray Disc, Size 8150 (DVD-DL) , Resolution set to FHD 1920x...

[ajamils]

Select Blu-Ray Disc, Size 8150 (DVD-DL) , Resolution set to FHD 1920x...

Will the same settings apply to files that I'll be transfering to Ps3 HDD for playback or is it just for files that I want to burn ?

[Atak_Snajpera]

There is simple rule. 1080p -> Dual-Layer , 720p -> Single Layer

[ajamils]

I guess the thing that got me confused is the .bluray extension, when Blu-ray Disc is selected. :confused:.

[~bT~]

You used default bitrate :)
in the next version, i recommend you set crf 22 as default encoding method in ini (for newbs).

[jibelin]

In trying to encode a few bluray discs w/ripbot, keep getting innacurate size time information from the original .m2ts files. They were decrypter w/AnyDVD HD. Also were muxed with TSMuxer to remove unwanted audio and subs. The resulting .m2ts file plays and display the correct total time on with Nero Showtime, however Ripbot shows only a few minutes of play time. Am I missing something. Happens on Hitman, and Live Free or Die Hard...

Thanks for your help...

[Sgt_Strider]

I'm just wondering if this utility can create a PSP compatible video file with subtitles and two channel audio?

[~bT~]

^ yes.

[Sgt_Strider]

^ yes.

Are the subtitles "burned" into the video? Or I can use the subtitles file and embed it into the container?

[arrarro]

@ Atak and all other encoding experts
I need a little advice and sorry if this is a little off topic.
I use Ripbot264 with great satisfaction to convert divx tv episodes to mp4 for my iphone/ipod Touch. Unfortunately I have lot of problems when I want to convert a DVD movie directly to mp4. Using CLONE DVD Mobile with 2 passes and maximum bitrate I have a good coversion but full of artifacts (green dots and lines) while if I use any other famous DVD ripping program I have better results about image quality but wrong format of view (that is the picture is wider than the original or distorted in some way).
Now I thought to use a program to convert in the best possible way the DVD movie to divx format and then use Ripbot264 to convert to mp4 since Ripbot does an excellent job and leaves the format of view as it is.
What is, in your opinion, the best program to convert a DVD movie to divx (possibly one with 2 or more passes for better quality)?
Last question: can you suggest an excellent program to add subtitles to a divx without loosing too much in quality? is sub2divx good enough?
thank you in advance for everybody's support. :thanks:

[~bT~]

i believe they must be burnt in as PSP wont allow you to select subs.

Will it be possible for you (or someone who know what they are doing) to create a tutorial for converting 720p & 1080p file to Ps3 recognizable format (with 5.1 surround) for all the newbies like me ?

Even though your software is straight forward, I'm not having 100% success in conversion because I do not know what all the options mean and which ones should I select.

[lance79]

Hi i have a question, when loading a mkv or other vid into ripbot u can see the avisynth script on the right.What is ConvertToRGB(video) doing at the bottem of the script.Most of my vids are yv12 and want to keep them like that.

#ColorSpace
video=ConvertToRGB(video)
return video

greetz,

Lance

[Atak_Snajpera]

#ColorSpace
video=ConvertToRGB(video)
return video

It is required for preview. This line is automatically deleted in final script.

okay thanks for quick response...

tutorial ??? :(

[kalle2k3]

hi there,

very nice prog...been followin a while, but now i actually tried a bd encode and had an issue:

ripbot264 1.8.10 detects correct ac3 audio in my ts file and demux to ac3 file.

ripbot264 latest version demux the same ts file to aac, but detects ac3 (i think this is done via mediainfo). so what happens is that i cannot select copy stream for bd, only recode although it is not needed.

with version 1.8.10 this works correctly but i cannot do a direct bd encode. am i doing something wrong ?

btw, tsmuxer detects everything correct, but i cannot shrink obviously.

[Ryu77]

Tutorial about what settings to use for converting 720p and 1080p files for Ps3 without the loss of PQ or surround sound.

Just do some research on the x264 codec and learn what the settings mean. Then research DTS and AC3 audio... Google, google and more google. :)

If you are unclear about output formats, look up (google) these terms m2ts, Blu-ray and AVCHD.

From there you should be clued in enough to use RipBot264 and get the desired results.

Oh and by the way use google!

With all due respect, I feel Atak said that out of cheekiness to you first making the "I'm lazy" statement.

Do you really think Atak is lazy with all the improvements he is making to RipBot264?

Again, no disrespect intended but how do you expect others to create a guide for you, if you wont put in a little bit of effort to learn some fundamentals required to even understand a guide if one was in fact created?

I said it as a joke too and it was not meant to disrespect anyone. As for me asking about the tutorials, I just thought that it would be beneficial for all the new people to learn from the experiences of people like you(currently reading your threads on Afterdawn forum) and Atak instead of them spending many hours learning it themselves cuz after all not everyone has the same level of intelligence :).

As for me being lazy, I've spent COUNTLESS hours reading different forums (to a point where my girl is getting annoyed because I spend more time reading forums than watching movies that we already have on Blu-ray :p) and trying out different software/scripts to make things work and I'm still not 100% successful and that's why I wanted input for the the experts so that I at least have one side covered, while I learn/understand other ways of doing the same process.

You that MAN !!! Thank you sir. Gonna check it out right now.

[ajamils]

Ok just watched the tut. Good stuff !! Now I have the following question

1) Why did you select output as "Blu-ray Disc" ? Wouldn't mp4 be better if I just want to copy the file to Ps3 instead of creating the whole Blu-ray structure (my understanding is that "Blu-ray Disc" output creates the whole file structure for a Blu-ray" and that's only if I want to "burn" the movie to a disc")

2) What does "CQ" under mode and "CRF" means ? Do we ever use that for converting movies for Ps3 ?

3) Why do we have to select "Lock Size" and "Size" (on the properties page?

Sorry for the newbie question and thanks again for the tut.

[Atak_Snajpera]

1) in order to get *.m2ts (AVC+5.1 sound). It can be copied on PS3 HD.
2) CQ means Constant Quality. CRF = Constant Rate Factor.
3) In order to use whole space on disc. Blu-Ray allows only two resolutions 1080p and 720p

Thanks for the reply.

1) So if I use *.mp4, I will not get 5.1 sound ? Also, the Blu-ray mode outputs a folder, is the *.m2ts file inside it ? If so, I can just copy that file to Ps3 and everything will be ok ?

2) So we do not use CQ or CRF for blu-ray ?

PS3 probably still downmix to 2.0. ( I haven't checked that with latest firmware ...)

If you don't care about final size use CQ@22 otherwise if you are going to fit your movie on DVD then you must use 2-pass!

[ajamils]

I converted Rush Hour 3 to mp4 with AC3 audio and Ps3 info showed 5.1 Dolby (that was before the latest update). Also, since I'm not gonna burn a movie to DVD, will using SQ@22 take more time than the other option ?

Will the quality be the same with 2-pass or CQ@22 ?

(I'm sure I'm starting to annoy you with all the questions :( )

[~bT~]

^ yes, coz ur not trying to understand why we do things the way we do.

PS3 probably still downmix to 2.0. ( I haven't checked that with latest firmware ...)

The reason that the PS3 downmixes from the mp4 container is as follows...

As you are aware mp4 can not contain ac3 audio so aac must be used. It is possible to create a 5.1 channel aac stream but there are very few AV receivers that can decode this audio format (they do exist but are not very common).

So to get aac to play the PS3 knows that it must be decoded on board to PCM. Now here we face a little problem. 5.1 PCM has a bitrate of 4608Kbps (16 bit). An optical or coaxial cable are limited to the bandwidth of 1536Kbps, so that's just right for 2 channel PCM (or standard Dolby Digital/DTS). This is probably why you only hear 2 channels when decoding a 5.1 channel aac stream on board.

To get 5.1 channel PCM working you will need to have a HDMI v1.3 (10.2Gbps bandwidth limit) AV receiver and output the audio via your HDMI cable.

I am not 100% sure that the PS3 can decode 5.1 aac to 5.1 PCM as I don't have a HDMI v1.3 AV receiver. If anyone can add to this information... Please do. :)

Note: The PS3 is not capable of TrueHD bitstream either, it must be decoded on board and output as PCM.

Fortunately, I do own a HDMI capable receiver and my Ps3 is connected to it via HDMI maybe that's why I was able to hear 5.1 in mp4 file. I also noticed that when I played that file, my receiver was showing "Multi Channel" which is the exact same display that I get when I play Blu-ray movies so I think its safe to assume that I was getting 5.1 PCM.

I also noticed that when I played that file, my receiver was showing "Multi Channel" which is the exact same display that I get when I play Blu-ray movies so I think its safe to assume that I was getting 5.1 PCM.

HDMI is not good enough. You need a HDMI v1.3 AV Receiver. These receivers usually cost about $2000+. Are you saying you have one of these AV receivers? From what you are saying, it sounds like you do. :)

Just a thought, my AV receiver also displays multi channel whenever it receives a digital audio stream (including 2.0 channel audio). 2.0 channel audio is then output to all speakers via Dolby Pro Logic II. However when it receives a 5.1 channel stream, it identifies this by highlighting all the speakers in the little diagram on the LED. Also, a little blue light turns on when it recieves a 5.1 stream.

Note: If you are unsure about the different HDMI versions, check out this page at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI

Anyway, back to your original question that inspired these posts. You asked why you shouldn't just output mp4 instead of Blu-ray... Blu-ray output supports a wider variety of elementary streams (including switchable subtitles) and as such is a better choice.

[ajamils]

1.3 receivers do not cost that much. You can get Onkyo 605 for less than $500 :)

As for the original question, when you select output as Blu-ray...doesn't it create a whole folder and not just a single video file ?

[Ryu77]

1.3 receivers do not cost that much. You can get Onkyo 605 for less than $500 :)

Yes, it seems you are right about that AV receiver supporting HDMI v1.3. I was quoting Australian dollars previously. I just did a quick google search on that Onkyo receiver and it looks like the Onkyo TX-SR 605 is about $1,300 here, still quite a bit more than the $500 (or less?) like you claimed. Is that the AV receiver you actually own or were you just referring to it? If it is, you must have found a fantastic bargain.

As for the original question, when you select output as Blu-ray...doesn't it create a whole folder and not just a single video file ?

That still doesn't take away from the fact that Blu-ray output is a better choice. You simply need to burn those folders as a UDF v2.5 disc.

if you want single file just copy 00001.m2ts from blu-ray structure

[survivant001]

Yes, it seems you are right. I was quoting Australian dollars. I just did a quick google and it looks like the Onkyo TX-SR 605 is about $1,300 here.


I have a Onkyo TX-SR 505. and the HDMI is only a passtrough :( I didn,t know that. So I have to use HDMI for the video and optical for audio :( (using the PS3)

^ trade it in quick :p

[m0nkie]

thanks for this great app.

but.. i need help solving my a/v sync problem which only happens if i use mkv as source (everything is ok if avi used). ripbot demuxes video and audio. and then i see that audio is longer than video what cannot possibly be, i guess. cause video and audio are from the same source. i tried to cut the audio, stretch it (doesnt make sense though), make a delay. the resulting file still has audio running too fast.

no such problem if using automkv for example. but id like to ripbot264 work as well.

thanks in advance.

[~bT~]

^ have you tried different media players to make sure its not the player?

[m0nkie]

it has nthing to do with player... i use it for psp

An iPod can only handle up to level 3.0, baseline profile.

[m0nkie]

to all
why ignoring my question? how should i get rid of this a/v sync problem? what am i doing wrong? or is it the app?

[Ryu77]

Hello mOnkie, could you tell us more about your original file? Do you have any other information about the file? Maybe where it was sourced from originally?

You could use MediaInfoRaw to show us what the elementary streams are: http://www.mediafire.com/?ochgfxmjbzt

Paste the information it gives you here and let's see what we can come up with. :)

Atak or anybody else would love to help but we need to know more about what is happening before we can diagnose the problem.

My guess is that it could be a framerate discrepancy but we can't confirm until we know the origins of the media.

[IYG]

BTW, if I rip a DVD with RipBot, how can I have a hard subtitle (from the DVD) on the video.
Thanks.

P/S: between copy stream, 5.1 CT AAC-LC 320 kbps [abr], and 5.1 Aften AC3 640 kbps [cbr], which one has the best audio quality?
And which one should I choose?

You will need to use the TextSub command in AVIsynth (vsfilter.dll) to overlay the subtitles over the video, so when you frameserve the video to the encoder it will be encoded with the subtitles embedded in the picture.

In regards to the audio, for the iPod it must be AAC-LC (AAC=Advanced Audio Codec, LC=Low Complexity) and the maximum bitrate it supports is 160Kbs. You also must select stereo not 5.1.

[poisondeathray]

@m0nkie - your mediainfo results report a running time discrepancy between audio & video in the source - this could be why ripbot264 is also reporting a difference.

Does the source file play correctly on your PC?

If you demux the audio with mkvextractgui, what is the actual running time of audio?

[m0nkie]

the source file plays correctly on pc.

no need to demux it myself cause this is what ripbot does everytime i open the file. i can see its actions from temp dir.

maybe there is anything in avs file (automatically generated by ripbot264) that prevents from correct muxing or whatever... any thoughts?

Did you install K-Lite Codec pack? Btw use default font size@96DPI

[CYNIEK]

Yes, I did while back... should I uninstall it?
System font should be set as 96, but it might be increased to 110% (for the old blind people :) )

Follow up question; can you recommended set of codecs for this setup? FFDShow?
I'll build a system dedicated mainly to this task, remuxing content, as I have a ton of files that won't play on PS3 using TVersity setup, if you could please suggest a set of codes I would greatly appreciate it.

Second PC will have a TVersity installed. Thanks for your input.

Am I doing something wrong.
Thanks again for this wonderfull bit of kit. :p

Ok thanks... but how do you add chapters to a mkv then. Sorry if this sounds noobish but im new to the whole mkv scene lol. Is it possible to add them to one so when re encoded in RipBot it has these in there or can RipBot do this for you ;)

Only logical solution is to load fresh copy of the OS and try again. that's something that I will do in a week or two, assembling new box, so no point of di$king around with this one. I used mkv2vob app w/o any problems, but RipBot264 gives me a lot more options, especially since some of content that I have is in various formats and isn't cooperating with PS3.

Anyone tried using RipBot on Vista 64bit?

The creator uses Vista to build RipBot I don't know if it is x64 version but I C no reason why it shouldn't...

Do you have the latest build of DDShow and haali media splitter.

http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/ for haali

[Atak_Snajpera]

I suspect problem with avisynth. Try 64bit version or 32bit.

[CYNIEK]

yeap, i'm running latest ver. of AviSynth, FFDShow, Haali Media Splitter - all of which were reinstalled as of last night. I'm using XP SP2 Pro 32bit OS.

I'll try loading Vista 64bit and see if that eliminates the issue. Thanks everyone for suggestions and will report back once a new OS is installed.

[~bT~]

^ latest version of avisynth which is? 2.5.8?

if so, uninstall and try 2.5.7 or 2.5.6: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57023

[CYNIEK]

tried both ver. 2.5.6 /.7 prior to loading the latest, which I think is a beta. In any case if you guys aren't experiencing similar issues then it must be my setup, which I will address.

[spudman]

Hi there me again :p . I managed to add chapters in the end to my previous question but my next question is this....
I am creating bluray files from a mkv with a screen size of 1288*544. Now to get this to play on my ps3 correctly do i need to adjust the screen size to 1280*720 or can i add borders to it, or do I do both :confused:

[Atak_Snajpera]

No If you want to use m2ts only
Yes If you want to use whole Blu-ray Structure

[spudman]

ok thanks for that. To add borders do i enable the auto crop feature or do i need to do it manually. If so where is this found.
Thanks again for the info ;)

[~bT~]

^ just enabling resize option to 1280x720 should work AFAIR. click the preview to check.

[~bT~]

but I like this color :(
ok, maybe change the colour of text to black or red :p

[Atak_Snajpera]

RED? Forget it.

[SparKeyD]

Thanks Atak_Snajpera for such a cool program!! My kids had ruined a few blu-ray movies. Now I can rip the blu-ray (movie and 1 sound track only) and back them up to a DVD-DL disc. The movies still looks better than any store boughten DVD, and when put in our home blu-ray player, it says now loading Blu-Ray. WOW! Now my kids can watch a Blu-Ray movie on a single DVD-DL disc and when it gets scratched it won't cost me another $30 to replace it... THANKS A MILLION!!!

ps... the only thing missing that would be a great improvement to this program is chapter points but still it's the best program I seen so far!!! Keep up the great work! Thanks!

[Atak_Snajpera]

GREAT proggy!!!!!

I was amazed at the quality when I ripped "I Am Legend" bluray to mp4!

@ Atak

any chance of adding a N95 profile please? the meGUI one doesn't work very well..

Just use DivX (with mobile profile) in VirtualDub, Use a horizontal resolution of no more than 320 pixels, and adjust the vertical resolution to the correct aspect ratio (16:9=320 x 176, 2.35:1=320 x 128). Use a video bitrate of no more than 500Kbs, and use a frame rate half of the original. For example if you have 24fps material, use 12fps. For 25fps material, use 12.5fps. From what I understand, a mobile phone can handle up to about 18fps (some can handle more) but I would recommend using half the orignal framerate to ensure the sampling is done at the same tempo and framerate remains jitter free.

Then encode your audio with AAC-LC. I use 48Khz @ 128Kbs, so when I use headphones I still get high quality sound. Finally use YAMB or MeGUI to mux the streams into MP4 container.

That's it, this should work on most modern mobile phones.

It can handle it(because thats the max resolution of video recording it can do) but there is no point of it because the resolution of LCD is only 320 x 240.

Atak_Snajpera,

Again thank you so much for an awesome program. I was curious if it would be possible to implement AAC 5.1 for conversion of MP4 files when there is a native AC3 track?

Sparkey,

What process are you using to backup your Blu-Ray and strip streams from them? I would love to do this, but haven't quite gotten there yet...

[Ryu77]

@ Ryu77

N95 can handle upto 640x480 res @ 30fps according to reviews..

Then just use those parameters instead... However, keep in mind that if you want to share your videos or change phones, that the videos may not be compatible. As ajamils said, the screen is only 320 x 240, so unless you plan on displaying the videos on an external display then there really isn't much point increasing the resolution.

Also, do you know what max bitrate the N95 is capable of decoding? Sometimes using a higher resolution on a restricted bitrate allowance can make the video look worse.

PS: If that's the case for the N95 and you want to use the full resolution, framerate etc., why don't you try the iPod profile in RipBot264? It sounds like it could have similar decoding specs.

@Atak_Snajpera:

I have a question: I have a VOB file at 29.97 fps interlaced. However, DGIndex keeps forcing it to film mode and the result in 23.976 fps displayed in RipBot. I want to encoding it at 29.97 fps. So I open DGIndex, and chang the FIELD_OPERATION to "Honor Pulldown" but it doesn't have any effect on RipBot.

(I remember a few versions back you use to be able to change it in DGIndex)

Can you tell me how I can change the FIELD_OPERATION in RipBot? If it's not possible, can you let us change it in the .ini file?

What do want achive exactly??

I have bluray disks that I would like to rip to my hard drive.

I would love to save space and be able to convert to MP4 or MKV but keep subtitles.

When I click on options > subtitles I have two options to choose from.

Either options looks for certain files for the subs, but when I navigate to the bluray disk it cannot find any files with those extensions.

Do I need to use a different proggy to strip the subtitles from the bluray disk first?

Are the subtitles part of the .M2TS files on a bluray disk?

Thanks

How long did you wait? What is your CPU?

[Espio]

I waited probably 20 minutes before aborting. I have an Intel Q6600 @ 2.4GHz. It usually only takes a minute or two, so I knew something was wrong.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Did you try to remove audio normalization?

[Espio]

No, I'll try that.

[jtheripper]

I have an interesting problem. I took an mkv and converted it to a bluray output. When I try to play it in powerdvd the audio plays but the video is a large purple box. However when I load the .m2ts file into powerdvd it plays perfectly. Any suggestions? Also has anyone had luck playing bluraydvd9 on a samsung bdp1400?

[Atak_Snajpera]

What is your final resolution? (Blu-Ray supports only 1920x1080 or 1280x720 resolution)

[jtheripper]

That miight have been the problem. The mkv file was 1280 X 538. I am reencoding it now using your HD settings which add bars above and below to make it 720. Hopefully that should work. Great program BTW

[duramaximus]

Atak,

Is there anyway possible to add a feature for a single layer BD (25GB)? I see single layer DVD and dual layer dvd just not single layer BD (25gb).

I am not sure how hard that would be but I know that in the next year or so the cost of these type of disk/burners/players are just going to come down in price.

Thanks,

[SparKeyD]

Sparkey,

What process are you using to backup your Blu-Ray and strip streams from them? I would love to do this, but haven't quite gotten there yet...

I have gotten it down to using the latest tsMuxeR to strip out the unwanted sound tracks, using only the 5.1 or ac3, not using dts and others because they are too large and will take more away from the video quailty. After this just click on the -output- button "M2TS muxing" and hit the "start muxing". Once the muxing is finished, load the M2TS into RipBot, make sure you have ALL the latest updates to the files/programs used by RipBot, use -2pass-, put a check mark in -Lock Size (mb)- select size 8150 the -save as- -Blu-Ray Disc- select -done- then -start- Once this is all finished load Nero Burning ROM, I'm using version 8, select -DVD-ROM (UDF)- copy the two subdirectories RipBot made called BDMV & CERTIFICATE into the ROOT directory of DVD-DL disc and you are done. You must use a DVD Dual Layer Disc if you are going to select 8150 in RipBot.

Hope this works for ya... so far I have backed up around 15 of our kid's blu-rays to DVD-DL disc and all work perfectly in our home blu-ray payer. Of course you know these types of DVDs will NOT play in a standard DVD player... :)

Good luck!

Why not importing m2ts directly in RipBot? After demuxing you may choose which audio track you want.

[SparKeyD]

Why not importing m2ts directly in RipBot? After demuxing you may choose which audio track you want.

First I use AnyDVD&HD to rip the blu-ray to the hard drive, then when I try to add the main .M2TS movie file into RipBot, it will give me a message "Couldn't open input file in HIDE mode! Exiting." almost all the time. However, when I use tsMuxeR first, then I can add the .M2TS file into RipBot with no problems. For example the movies Cars & Sky Captain both gives this message above and some other moives I have tried. So I just got into the habbit of using tsMuxeR first, then RipBot...

.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Ok. Thanks for info. It seems that TSMuxer fixes something in stream...
Could you open those problematic m2ts directly in DGAVCDec/DGindex and tell what DGAVCDec/DGindex says? (screenshot)

[Warrex]

@ Atak_Snajpera

Hi, I have a problem with my m2ts files on the PS3 and you might have some experience with it. Seeking only works for me when I do not use "--aud" in contrast to what you wrote in the changelog of version 1.8.6 of RipBot264:

"fixed: M2TS seeking on PS3 (added --aud switch in encoder command line)"

I know that seeking works when these m2ts files are in a Blu-ray structure but no luck when playing standalone m2ts files. Also tested that with a Simpsons trailer and RipBot 1.9.2. I even remuxed the m2ts of the Blu-Ray output with tsMuxer.

Any idea why seeking does not work on the PS3 2.20 with standalone m2ts files containing a h264 stream created with --aud?

I really like to keep --aud set as it seems to be required in transport streams in general and for Encore, Scenarist, etc. import.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I've found solution. In TsMuxer uncheck Continually insert SPS/PPS

[Warrex]

I've found solution. In TsMuxer uncheck Continually insert SPS/PPS

Thanks but already tried that. In fact I tried all the combinations concerning the video stream (also using picture timing setting). This does not work for me. Double checked with output form RipBot264. The PS3 still goes to a black screen and does not forward at all.

When not using --aud everything is fine even when leaving both of the video stream options checked. Same is also true for using a file with --aud in a mp4 container.

[Atak_Snajpera]

It does work! I imported raw .264 file and .ac3 in TSMuxer. Then I unchecked Continually insert SPS/PPS and suddenly seeking started to work.

Edit: I will check later if Blu-Ray structure works without --aud. If Yes I will remove that from command line in next version.

[Warrex]

Ah, got it!

Stupid me did not realize that these settings change the video stream irreversibly (so it seems). I thought these just affected muxing. I used a m2ts (which was created with the SPS/PPS option) and just remuxed it without the setting. This does not work!

PLEASE DO NOT remove --aud even if the Blu-Ray structure works! Like I said I read here many times that it is required in m2ts streams. Scenarist and Encore will not import files without it!

Look here (I assume this applies to m2ts too): http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=708112&highlight=access+unit+delimiter#post708112

BTW: Do --aud and SPS/PPS do the same thing? Or are they similar?
BTW2: Getting m2ts only output back would be cool...

I think there is some problem with the new version RipBot264 that I download from Ajax_Undone's signature.
I can't encode the audio anymore.
The final output has a horrible sound.

Hi there. I have come accross a problem that i cant seem to crack so i wonder if any of you guys can help.
I am encoding a mkv file to bluray with ripbot and i need to add subtitles to it.
I have the subs in .srt format which i then enable in ripbot and choose "Build in Picture". I then let ripbot do its stuff, but when its finally all done there are no subs hard coded into the movie.
I played the file on pc and ps3 and there are definatly no subs there.
What am i doing wrong ????

Do you see subs in Preview?

No that was strange as well the subs were not in the preview... hmmmmm....

[Atak_Snajpera]

Yes of course :) Use level 4.1 HD profile ...

It's so good because it is so simple.
It's simple because I'm simple guy :)

[Temeryx]

First, thank you for the program very nice, clean, easy to use program.

I wanted to use this program to convert my blu-ray discs into something that is less of a hassle to play on my HTPC.

I did "I am Legend", I used the 4.1 profile, set CQ to 16, and converted the audio to the highest bitrate AC3, using mkv. I did not change any other settings, this worked perfectly.

Last night I tried to do "The fifth Element" all the same settings. It seemed to work perfectly again, but I found out that 1 minute 30 seconds into the film, the audio just cuts out for the rest of the movie. Until that time my reciever detects the AC3 audio, and it sounds perfect.

The Fifth Element has an LPCM audio track and Ripbot did convert the LPCM to flac.

So, any thoughts would be appreciated, and I will gladly provide any other info you need.

thanks

[mob]

@Atak_Snajpera:

COOL :)

I'm going to test it out right now because I had some problems with MeGUI and AutoMKV because of all the options they have. It gets confusing because I always have to learn about new options and I never know what I'm doing. Thanks for making this software!

[mob]

Hey Atak_Snajpera. So I just finished testing it out and I am very happy with the way your software works. It operates so smoothly on my machine. And it was so easy to use. I really like it a lot.

I'm going to use this software to encode all my Anime DVDs. Maybe you can take a look at this sample of one of my anime series that I will encode.

http://www.mediafire.com/?scs2mgccdw9

Right now I will use the [ level 4.1 ] HD . BluRay . Consoles profile to encode this. But maybe you can see the source that I uploaded above and recommend me some changes to make to the profile to encode this particular one better. Unless maybe this profile is already good for my source. I don't know much about it because I am no expert.

Anyway, also, how can I know which deinterlace setting to use? Is there a way for me to find out? And how can I know if I need to use decimate? Those are really the two main options that I never know anything about :(

Well, thanks for everything!

edit:
See, when I'm done encoding I'm am seeing alot of frames that look like this:

http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/4185/samplees9.th.jpg (http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=samplees9.jpg)

I think maybe I need to use Decimate or something to fix that but the option is disabled. You can have a look at a sample of the source vob to check it out. I uploaded it to mediafire and the link is right above. Thanks for helping me :)

Sorry for the late reply to this, but removing normalization worked. Thanks for the tip, but even with the volume maxed and headphones on, it was pretty quiet. Any chance the problem will fixed next version?
I encode movies for my PSP very often and I have never had problems with audio normalization. I guess you have a mess in system :) (codec packs and so on)

I didn't know that main movie can be bigger than 25GB.

I ripped Live Free or Die Hard and it came out to be 29.3GB.
Main movie with english subs and best audio.

I also would like to see this feature if possible.

Thanks,

[jtheripper]

I have ripped a few movies (BD50) down to the main movie and the HD audio (DD true hd , DTS master HD, uncompressed LPCM) and they came out to between 26 and 30 GB. With the price of 1 layer BD-RE dropping fast I think it is only a matter of time that this would be preferred rather than burning to a DVD-R. The BD-RE has arounf 22GB of usable space. If you could include that in the fike size options that would be fantastic. Thanks for your great program

[dejected_is_me]

i created a mp4 for the iphone using the preset profile for audio of 2.0 96kbs constant. the orginal file had audio in stereo (2 channels) but when ripbot was done it created a 6 channel mutli audio file. which of course does not play on the iphone. ive tried it numerous times with diffrent files (all from the same source thou) and the result is the same.

[Atak_Snajpera]

6 channels from 2 seems impossible in my app :) How do you know that you get 6 channels?

[Deckard2019]

Did anybody create profile for PopcornHour A100 ?
[ level 4.1 ] HD . BluRay . Consoles will surely be suitable, just wondering ...

Thank you.

[dejected_is_me]

i used the properties window out of media player classsic. (its never failed me before). the orginal file posts this:

"Video: DivX 5 320x240 29.97fps 769Kbps [Video 0]
Audio: MPEG Audio Layer 3 44100Hz stereo 159Kbps [Audio 1]"

The file made with ripbot reports this:

"Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 320x240 [GPAC ISO Video Handler]
Audio: AAC 44100Hz 6ch 157Kbps [GPAC ISO Audio Handler]"

again i used the iphone/ipod profile for video and then the 2.0 96kbs constant profile for audio. Its an episode of season 2 good eats. I did 12 episodes all of which play on the computer fine but when you trnasfer them to the iphone you get video no sound because its being reported as a muliti audio source in itunes and a 6 channel source in mpc.

I tried rencoding the audio in megui with the faac codec (same file that i put into ripbot) and it came out with the correct channels...2. i muxed the audio into the orginal mp4 container that ripbot made and synced it to my phone an it played fine.

SO the problem must be with the encoding codec that ripbot uses.

[survivant001]

@Atak_Snajpera

did you had some free time to create a beta version with dual audio track for the bluray output ?

[repdetect2]

Yes I will add that in next version


Could you be more precise?

Sorry for the delay, had a nasty, nasty flu....

The PS3 supports AAC 5.1 in the MP4 container. In Handbrake, there is an option to to take the AC-3 5.1 track and have it converted to AAC 5.1. That way you can just natively play mp4 with full surround and save some bandwith...

Thanks in advance sir :)

here is a sample of the video i was working with. the original file was a avi encoded with xvid and mp3. i split it with virtual dub. and as before i put the split file into ribbot and used iphone profile and 2.0 96kbs constant. It reports 6 ch with media player classic and a "mulit" audio source by itunes.

I also have no problem with that file:) You must have huge mess in your system. Good advice. Stop using codec packs, ok?

[dejected_is_me]

admitadly i do have the cccp codec pack. but thats all. and now that i watch when the encoding for ripbot is started ffdshow icons pop up in my taskbar for the decoding. from the looks of it aac encodeing is done by the aacplus codec. So isnt the seleciton of codecs handled internally by the program not by the codecs on my machine. Also ive tried the aacplus encoder in megui with the same file and it came out fine.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I've been using my app for over a year and I have never seen something like this. Like I said get rid of CCCP. Reinstall AviSynth , FFDshow (also uncheck all options in FFDShow Audio section) , Haali Media Splitter. End of story.

[dejected_is_me]

you were right. i dont know what about cccp was causing it but hey good to go now. besides between ffdshow, halie splitter and mpc i already installed everything in cccp... so whatever. problem solved thanks for your help

Hey Atak_Snajpera, is there any way to use OGM files as input for ripbot264?

I have a Xvid video in a .ogm container. I am trying to convert this to x264/mkv.

I know ripbot264 can convert xvid/avi but it doesn't seem to let me convert xvid/ogm :(

[Atak_Snajpera]

Remux OGM to MKV.

[Ajax_Undone]

Updated installer links take advantage of the shared folder it has other stuff that might interest you...

New:
Added recursive Directory add/remove so no more individual folder search for new/old files In the Setup Projects.7z

Killed the abort sequence that killed previous installers if a firewall blocked them from the Internet... (Needing a loop sequence for retry not yet implemented)

PreRun sequence is now automated in all installers...

*Soon to be added:
Uninstallation of old FFDshow before new one gets installed same with Haali and if need be Avisynth as well...

New set of code to automate the install of all programs that get downloaded...

[DJ_Price]

I have just encoded a music video I have & the audio in the mkv output file has the odd beep & hiss every 3 seconds or so. Here's an ogg file of the hissing. http://www.mediafire.com/?xdygwyowuld

[Ajax_Undone]

Can you upload a chunk of the source Video

[Atak_Snajpera]

Also, sometimes when I encode my DVDs I like to keep the original AC3 audio track. So that would also be another good example of when someone would want to keep the untouched audio.

Select copy stream. AC3 is not allowed in MP4!

The audio is already 96kbps/OGG so if I transcode it, it will only give me worse quality. So I'm better off just keep the audio as it is.


OGG is only allowed in MKV!

[mob]

Select copy stream. AC3 is not allowed in MP4!

OGG is only allowed in MKV!



LOL Yeah I just realized that! I actually just deleted my last post since I figured it out on my own but you replied too fast :)

The problem was that I had selected the MP4 container. Now that I am using the MKV container I have the option to copy the original stream.

Man, RipBot264 is really good. I love its simplicity. And I love how it "just works" without any problems.

Thanks a lot :)

Ok, what will having the source video do? I tried encoding with another program (MediaCoder) & there were no problems with the file that was outputted. Here's the video, it's 15 seconds: Hound Dogs - I Like Girls (http://www.mediafire.com/?ydnyxymozjy)

When I add subtitles to the video and burn them in, they appear a second or so late, but when I use the SRT file with the original video they are perfectly in time. Any way to fix this?

It isnt hard to reproduce that noise but there is no video in play back once encoded...

Reinstall AviSynth

[jamd1]

Thx for a nice simple app that does the job nicely - Just used to make an mp4 from an AnyDVD rip of Fifth Element Blu-ray. Quality is very good and appears in sinc.
Using a Core 2 Duo E6600 2 gb ram it took 16 hours to make an mp4 using 2 passes at 2048 kbps. 1st pass encoded at about 10.5 fps - second pass at 4.7 fps.
Couple of newbie questions:
1. In order to save processing time is it neccessary to do 2 passses?
2. Does the encoding generally take longer or shorter for .mkv production instead of .mp4?
3. Would I save much time encoding at the default 1024 kbps instead of 2048?
Thx for the help and any tips.

[deets]

im awake so ill give your questions a go :D

1. no, 2 pass is only for making it fit a desired file size. If you are not concerned with the end file size you can try CRF mode which is one pass.
2. it wont make any difference to encoding time, the raw video file is the same in either mkv or mp4
3. maybe so, i only encode for PSP and i think it takes longer for higher bitrate, but i could be completely wrong :)

[--PlayStation3--]

Reinstall AviSynth

Reinstalling AviSynth didn't work. Now I get a different error.

http://i32.tinypic.com/29ap66x.jpg

[deacon crusher]

Atak or anyone else.

I'm very close to getting this great app to work perfectly for me, but I've got a couple of questions.

I'm trying to rip blu-ray movies to play on a Sage media extender. Doesn't seem to handle the full bit rate of m2ts files so want to encode to mkv as it seems to handle those well. I've done one encode that worked for the first 20 minutes of the movie (I'm using spiderman3 for my tests) but after about 20 minutes the audio stops altogether and the video plays at about 2x speed. I've read a bunch of this thread and figure this might be a codec pack I had (klite) so uninstalled that.

So, first question, what settings should I use to maintain the highest quality as file size is not that big an issue?

EDIT
I tried Blu-ray profile with CQ of 24 or 26 whichever is highest. That gave me a smaller file size then 20 or 22 whichever I tried first, so next time I'll go CQ with 16, that should give me least recompression, correct?
END EDIT

Second and this is the biggy, Spidey has TrueHD and a 5.1 uncompressed 5.1 sound tracks. I'd like to use either of these to create a 5.1 AC3 sound track. Is this possible? That sound track will work if I playback through my dolby digital (but not dts) decoding receiver, or if I dump straight to my TV via hdmi as my Sage extender will down convert for me to 2 channels.

If this is possilbe what's the right way to do it?

EDIT
Watched the process a little more closely this time and I think I've figured out that ripbot is actually converting the LPCM track to flac and then when I choose aften 5.1 it's changing it back to AC3, correct?

So, if that's right how does ripbot know which sound track to use? I guess the LPCM one has only one version and is English.
END EDIT

NEW QUESTION
Last question, so this next try even with smaller file size and my better understanding still created an MKV that has the audio die about 15 to 18 minutes into the movie (exact same point.)

Some way to fix this??

Also, should it take 45 minutes or so for Rip Bot to parse through the audio files and do the flac conversion before you get to make your mkv choices and start the re-encode??
END NEW QUESTION.

Thanks very much and again, great tool.

thanks

Lower value means better quality (bigger size). If I were you I would stay with CQ22.

Last question, so this next try even with smaller file size and my better understanding still created an MKV that has the audio die about 15 to 18 minutes into the movie (exact same point.)

I had the same problem with Casino Royale DVD. I will try to find solution.

If your source is huge (bluray) with many soundtracks and your HDD is not very fast...Why not.

[Sarreq Teryx]

I'm using 1.9.2 and so far it's a nice program, but I'm finding a few things either broken or lacking.
broken:

decimation - it seems to be disabled no matter what. I'd have to guess it's something you're still working on.
sorry, it seems to just not like certain frame rates, very odd. it works fine for 29.976 video, but there's only the choice to decimate to 23.976. this is most definitely an odd case, but I have a 120fps video, and I'd like to be able to decimate it to 24, but no-go
subtitles - MKVs can hold SRT, SSA or ASS, but the only option available for "mux in container" is SRT

lacking:

saving new profiles - how? I'd like to save my custom profile, but there doesn't seem to be an option for it.
free-form bitrate control for the video - why be stuck with a drop down list of bitrates?
audio format and bitrates - 6 choices??? why not make a chooser between ogg, aac-lc and aac-he, and have a slider for either cq or bitrate?
normalizer - 100% or 200%? what if someone wants to normalize somwhere below, inbetween, or above those marks?
3-pass encoding - why not?

[Atak_Snajpera]

It looks like you didn't do your homework very well :)

lacking:

* saving new profiles - how? I'd like to save my custom profile, but there doesn't seem to be an option for it.

1) Modifiy name (in codec settings) and click ok. Profile always shows in Profile directory. Is it that complicated ???
2) Did you even bother to enter bitrate manually???
3) Simplicity Amigo, Simplicity. Tell me Who encode for instance AC3 audio at 345kbps???
4) What is point to normalize audio below 100%??? 200% was added ONLY for PSP users. It helps a little bit to increase audio volume but it is not RECOMMENDED in other task.
5) Huge waste of time!!! Human being won't see difference between 2-pass and 3-pass. Unless you are cyborg.

* decimation - it seems to be disabled no matter what. I'd have to guess it's something you're still working on.
* subtitles - MKVs can hold SRT, SSA or ASS, but the only option available for "mux in container" is SRT

2) Did you even bother to enter bitrate manually???>_> whoops…
3) Simplicity Amigo, Simplicity. Tell me Who encode for instance AC3 audio at 345kbps???
not anyone sane, I didn't mean for encoding that high or or arbitrary a bitrate either, but I think limiting the choice to 64HE, 96LC and 128LC is a little silly, I'd just like to be able to use 112kbps or 192 in both profiles at least. neither profile are limited to those bitrates are they? I know Vorbis isn't.
4) What is point to normalize audio below 100%??? 200% was added ONLY for PSP users. It helps a little bit to increase audio volume but it is not RECOMMENDED in other task.
below 100%: if the source audio is too loud, you'd want to lower it
between 100 and 200%: if the source audio is too quiet, but not so quiet that you'd want to boost it by 200%
over 200%: ya got me, the hard of hearing?
5) Huge waste of time!!! Human being won't see difference between 2-pass and 3-pass. Unless you are cyborg.
I'm not quite a cyborg, but I do notice little slight differences, I know most people don't see them, but I do. it's not a major thing, I would've liked the option though.
decimate is available ONLY if source has 29.97 fps or 59.94fps!
is that a limitation of AVISynth (or something else ripbot uses)?
SRT subs are alot more popular than SSA or ASS.maybe that doesn't apply to anime subbers, since I've only ever seen SSA or ASS used in them. but besides that, MKV is still compatible with all 3 (and USF, I wish that wasn't abandoned), why limit people to one format? if MP4 or BlueRay are limited to SRT, limit those, but MKV isn't and shouldn't be.

Is it somehow possible to convert avi files with FLV1? When I try to open one generated from FLV extract Media Player classic opens displaying that FLV1 is not supported. Is it somehow possible though?

[jamd1]

Atak_Snajpera - thx again for the app. Having made a few rips with it now - experimenting with different bit rates and resolutions and working out conversion times. There is a big time saving using 1280x720 over 1920x1080 - more significant than using the same resolution with half the bitrate.
So "generally speaking" would i get a better picture with a 1280x720 file with 8192 Bit rate compared to a 1920x1080 file with 4096 Bit rate? Or am I better off with the full HD resolution at the lower bit rate.
Thx for any advice.

[Atak_Snajpera]

50 mb is enough

but I think limiting the choice to 64HE, 96LC and 128LC is a little silly, I'd just like to be able to use 112kbps or 192 in both profiles at least. neither profile are limited to those bitrates are they? I know Vorbis isn't.
AAC is very efficient codec. 128kbps is comparable to 192 mp3 so i see no reason to use higher bitrate. The same rule applies to ogg as well. I also see no reason to use 112kbps. 128-112=16. You would save whole 16kbps :) Silly

below 100%: if the source audio is too loud, you'd want to lower it
between 100 and 200%: if the source audio is too quiet, but not so quiet that you'd want to boost it by 200%
over 200%: ya got me, the hard of hearing?
200% = always distorted sound. You increase audio volume above scale.
If your source was normalized above scale lowering volume won't fix that. Audio will always remain distorted.
Lesson for: 200% for PSP ,100% for rest.

I'm not quite a cyborg, but I do notice little slight differences, I know most people don't see them, but I do. it's not a major thing, I would've liked the option though.
I doubt

is that a limitation of AVISynth (or something else ripbot uses)?
Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecine#2:3_pulldown

Thx for any advice.
If you did your math you would know that Full HD footage has ~2 times more pixels to encode therefore it requires proportional higher bitrate. HD should have 4Mbps and FullHD should have 8192.
Conclusion is that 720p at 8Mbps will always look better than FullHD at 4Mbps!

This request pertains to all the conversion GUI's. I have read through most of the pages of this and the other GUI threads but not seen any terminology guides. For people used to only one click conerters like DVD shrink an explanation on each of the main settings and how they effect conversion and movie quality would be very useful . If someone has the time it would be much appreciated.
All codec settings, bitrates, buffer sizes etc

MP4 must be <=4GB (4096 MB)

OH, OK Thanks.

Learn something new :)

[jamd1]

I have the same problem witha PS3 mp4 I made - size is 4.2gb - plays on PC but PS3 shows as corrupted data . Same reason I guess? If so is it because consoles not using NTFS file system?
Rather than re-encode the whole file (took 20 hours lol) - Is there a simple way to split the mp4 file into 2 parts without losing any quality?

20 hours???

I have heard this from a lot of people here.

I wonder why it only takes 4 to 6 hours on my machine?

I am going to re-encode from the original disk with only one pass keeping the original size.

This should keep the re-encode time down greatly.

Hopefully this will work for streaming to XBOX360.

[jamd1]

20 HOURS - was encoding a 2 hr movie ( dog day afternoon ) 4m bitrate 1920x1080 HD using the PS3 4.1 profile - Core2duo E6600 2gb ram . Do you have a much more powerful PC or are you encoding to lower settings?

I usually pick 2 pass and use about the same settings.

You couldn't add that mkv due to bug in my app. (Videos without audio didn't work). It will be fixed in next version.

here you go, 37.5MB, 1280x720x119.88fps divx6.8 mp3
Decimate from 119,88 -> 23.976 will be also added.

Last question, so this next try even with smaller file size and my better understanding still created an MKV that has the audio die about 15 to 18 minutes into the movie (exact same point.)

Fixed. Wait for new version.

[jamd1]

Atak_Snajpera - I read that you had trouble with Casino Royale - I am about to re-encode this bluray movie. Did you manage to sort out the problem with this?

[Atak_Snajpera]

I had DVD version

[Sarreq Teryx]

thanks muchly.

while I'm thinking of, drag-n-drop would be nice too: drop a file onto the main window to make a queue item, then hit edit. or maybe put a drop list for profile selection on the main page also.

[jamd1]

Just had problem with BluRay Chicken Little . Program finishes at the end of Pass 1 - with "all jobs done"- video.264 is zero bytes and no movie is created. Tried twice with same result. I tried manually running job1_EncodeVideoPass2.cmd before closing the program and cmd message is x264 error - cannot find job1 stats. Job1.stats.temp is in the temp\job1 directory tho.Text in pass2.cmd is:

Any suggestions to fix ?- I saved all the temp files before closing Ripbot.

Also - soory to ask again but is there a simple way to split my 4.2gb mp4 files - I actually have 2 of them and would rather not re-encode the whole movies again.
Thx for your help.

[mpiper]

Well, after muxing in my AC3 with the VC-1 video into an MKV file, I can get Ripbot to open, read and prepare to re-encode them. It even allows me to select resizing them to 1280X720.

Now my last question: I want to burn it as a mini-Bluray (DVD-4). Is the blu ray selection an ISO, or does it generate the folder structure for burning?

Looks like a great product!! Just need to know what to expect when I get the finished product.

I just tried to run this (after updating all the tools) and x264.exe (826) rejected a command you sent. Reverting back to the original x264 encoder allowed it to start encoding. (still running)

Below is the log from the first attempt with the newest x264 engine:

Any ideas why the newer and improved version should die on that command?

[~bT~]

^ it will create bd structure. just use imgburn to burn to disc.

new x264 wont work without an update as a few things have changed afaik.

[Atak_Snajpera]

You must always use .modified. version! Standard x264 do not have --nal-hrd

[mpiper]

Two questions?
1. Where do I get the newest .modified. versions of x264?
2. what does the --nal-hrd command do?

I'm running a newer, lower end PC (E6300 1.86Ghz Core2Duo, 3GB Ram), and I started the run 11 hours ago. The entire movie is 1:38. I still have at least another hour to go. Is this about the time I should expect per movie?

So far, this is the easiest tool for vc-1 to h264 conversion I've found!

How can you do that?
I am using E6750.

[mpiper]

After umpteen (12+) hours, the encode finished! .bluray created the entire folder structure. Burnt to disc with Imgburn. Disc plays flawlessly on my PC and testing on a friends PS3 (mine is on next month's budget) to ensure it plays.

Awesome and flawlessly simple!

Some feature requests?
1. Allow reading of EVOs (eac3to is already part of package)
2. Allow choice of single-pass, ABR encoding (for rush jobs)
3. Allow adding additional filters to the AVS script (I would love to add undot, for example, or a temporal smoother for extra grainy film sources).

Otherwise? LOVE IT!!!

[jamd1]

Some feature requests?
2. Allow choice of single-pass, ABR encoding (for rush jobs)

Definitely a good idea - also it would be nice and time saving to choose the audio file and then demux (rather than demuxing all streams automatically - esp pcm-flac conversion and movies with many audio streams).
Tried 3 different gui's now and this is definitely the best in terms of simplicity and end product quality.
The above requests and any options that can help save time on the lengthy encoding process would be great.

BTW - the only movie i had trouble with was chicken little bluray. I did manage to encode by using the ripbot264's .cmd's manually . I only ran pass1 and mux files.By only doing the first pass the Movie was very good quality with pixelation only noticeable in the credits.

[mpiper]

Another MAJOR?!? Feature request:

Can you add the ability to import the chapter list (like those created by eac3to) to allow skipping through the movie?

Mike

[Atak_Snajpera]

how do you create that chapter list with eac3to?

[mpiper]

If you use eac3to (and one of the GUIs, I like "eac3toGUI.exe" which I found on this board), it generates a full demux. Here is what I got from demuxing an HD-DVD I am encoding with your program:
PEVOB_1 - 3 - VC-1, 1080p.vc1
PEVOB_1 - 4 - E-AC3, English, 5.1 channels, 640kbps, 48khz.eac3
PEVOB_1 - 5 - E-AC3, French, 2.0 channels, 192kbps, 48khz.eac3
PEVOB_1 - 6 - E-AC3, Spanish, 2.0 channels, 192kbps, 48khz.eac3
PEVOB_1 - 7 - E-AC3, English, 2.0 channels, 192kbps, 48khz, 'Commentary'.eac3
PEVOB_1 - 8 - Subtitle, English, 'SDH'.sup
PEVOB_1 - 9 - Subtitle, French.sup
PEVOB_1 - 10 - Subtitle, Spanish.sup
PEVOB_1 - Chapters.txt

The command line I used was:
"L:\HD\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "L:\FullDisc\DVD_VOLUME\HVDVD_TS\PEVOB_1.EVO"+"L:\FullDisc\DVD_VOLUME\HVDVD_TS\PEVOB_2.EVO" "L:\FullDisc\DVD_VOLUME\HVDVD_TS\PEVOB_1vc1"-demux -stripPulldown


Hope this helps!

thats kool didn't know that... live you learn

[nekrosoft13]

thanks for ripbot excellent program.

is there any possible way to fix audio sync issues? so far re-encoded two .TS files with MPEG2 and 5.1AC3 to H264. In both files there was sync issue with audio when output to blu-ray folder.

took the finished file loaded in tsmuxer, took the original audio stream muxed it back, and audio sync is fine.

[mpiper]

The two GUIs I use for demuxing EVOs are:
http://madshi.net/EAC3toGUI.zip - this does the best job of demuxing every stream and creating chapters. 192kbps AC3 never works with this GUI, don't know why.

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=135095 - This one does a great job of converting EAC3 to standard AC3 at 192kbps or lower.

This may seem like overkill, but here is what I am doing right now:
1. Installing Ripbot and the required AviSynth/FFDShow/Matroska programs. I created a folder in "Program FIles" and added a link on my start bar for Ripbot264, so it looks and operates is if it were "installed."
2. Update the "tools" (If there is a newer version of a file, I rename the current one "file.old.exe", then copy the new one in and rename to match the original filename. I keep the old in case the new "breaks" ripbot.)
3. Copy the two eac3to GUIs into the eac3to folder in "tools" and put a shortcut on the desktop/startbar.

Then, to convert an HD-DVD to BR I use only the Ripbot264 tools, no extras needed. The finished movie fits on DVDs (4 or 9, depending on movie length).
1. Use eac3to and the GUIs to split the video and "downsave" the EAC3 to AC3.
2. Use TsMuxer to remux the video and new AC3 into a M2TS file.
3. Start Ripbot264, load the new M2TS.
4. Set video properties to resize to 1280X720.
5. Add the .sup subtitles in 2nd page of properties.(in container,not in picture).
6. Set bitrate (manually) to either 5120, 5630 (DVD4, adjust to fit), 7680 or 8192 (DVD9, adjust as needed).
7. Build to the Bluray profile.

Taking a 1920X1080 HD movie to 1280X720 keeps tons of detail, and the reduced number of actual pixels allows the lower bitrate to match the same quality level as the original. If I kept the videos at 1920X1080, like I have seen some people do, the drop in bitrate from 15,000kbps to between 5000 and 8000kbps results in very blocky/ugly encodes.

Just wanted to share my method of using this great program. The resulting DVDs have played as BluRay disks on 4 different PCs perfectly. Final test is if they work on a PS3. (I've been told they play perfectly by other users, but testing mine will happen this week to be sure my process works 100%.)

[Atak_Snajpera]

is there any possible way to fix audio sync issues? so far re-encoded two .TS files with MPEG2 and 5.1AC3 to H264. In both files there was sync issue with audio when output to blu-ray folder.
Before encoding always check if your video stream in TS always starts at IDR-Frame! If not then you get sync problems. h264-cutter should help you next time.

Set bitrate (manually) to either 5120, 5630 (DVD4, adjust to fit), 7680 or 8192 (DVD9, adjust as needed).
Why do you set bitrate manually???? Lock size does not work or what???

[mpiper]

The only reason I manually set bitrate is that the finished video was slightly oversized on a previous encode. (I blame TsMuxer, since same thing happened on a previous effort with it before I found your program.)

The numbers are merely multiples of 1024 (5, 5.5, 7.5, and 8). I learned a long time ago that certain players and encoders work best with multiples of 2 in all aspects (i.e. width and height of video, bitrate, audio encoding bitrate, etc.) so I always try to use multiples of 2, or multiples of powers of 2 (32, 64, 128, 192, 640, 1024, etc.)

Newer programs and codecs may not be so sensitive to the binary rule, but I still follow it. I am not remotely saying people should not use the "lock size" feature. I was just giving an example of how I was using it, starting from an EVO file to a finished BR disk.

This is the weirdest thing I have heard lately :) Especially when we talk about bitrate...

[Ajax_Undone]

Hey it works for me... an education for free is the way I see it...

[mpiper]

I'm not the best at understanding or explaining this, but I'll try: The reason for using multiples or exponents of 2 is based on 3 things:

1. Odd numbers tend to divide leaving remainders, which get rounded, causing "errors" or shifts. For example, a video that is 321X240 can crash Adobe's Media encoder if the wrong codec is used, but 320X240 or 322X240 both work fine. Many open source encoders can finish the encode through brute force, but if a brand name encoder can crash, should we use that resolution.
2. Exponents of 2 utilize the physical structure of memory better. Look at the range of colors in RGB, 0-255 = 256 total, a multiple of 2, and also an exponent. These settings aren't by accident. It's the easiest and most effective way to store binary data. 8 bits = 2 to the 8th power, which is 256. Any less and you waste bits, any more and you roll to using an entire second set of bits (8 of them) for the next level, which again wastes memory, since 2 sets of 8 = 2^16 = 65536. So using a number like 313 requires that enough space for 65536 be used, but leaves tons of empty space. That is why Photoshop uses 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit color spaces (I think).
3. What if the number you choose happenes to be a prime number? Most calculations done in encoding involve dividing data (Think about the 2X2, 4X4, etc. settings in filters, matrices, etc.) How do you divide a prime number?

Not sure if that made sense, since I barely understand the entire codec concept, especially matrices (mpeg1,2,4) and anything remotely related to h.264. And now that memory is cheap, I'm not sure how much the old binary exponents matter in efficient coding practices. But that's the best I can explain it.

[alchemy]

Only recently discovered Ripbot264 and use it daily to covert videos for iphone. My only wish is I'd like to 480x320 (Native iPhone Res) added in size templates.That would really save some time. And the ability to save jobs list in sort of text based file, so I could edit same parameters (size/crop) to apply for multiple videos.

Hope it's not too much trouble.
Thanks in advance.

Many open source encoders can finish the encode through brute force, but if a brand name encoder can crash, should we use that resolution.
2. Exponents of 2 utilize the physical structure of memory better. Look at the range of colors in RGB, 0-255 = 256 total, a multiple of 2, and also an exponent. These settings aren't by accident. It's the easiest and most effective way to store binary data. 8 bits = 2 to the 8th power, which is 256. Any less and you waste bits, any more and you roll to using an entire second set of bits (8 of them) for the next level, which again wastes memory, since 2 sets of 8 = 2^16 = 65536. So using a number like 313 requires that enough space for 65536 be used, but leaves tons of empty space. That is why Photoshop uses 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit color spaces (I think).
3. What if the number you choose happenes to be a prime number? Most calculations done in encoding involve dividing data (Think about the 2X2, 4X4, etc. settings in filters, matrices, etc.) How do you divide a prime number?

Not sure if that made sense, since I barely understand the entire codec concept, especially matrices (mpeg1,2,4) and anything remotely related to h.264. And now that memory is cheap, I'm not sure how much the old binary exponents matter in efficient coding practices. But that's the best I can explain it.


Yes I learned this in my first few months of Tech school...

I am now in Grphics art and disign... Just picked up video encoding as a half paced effort on my part to learn about all the different ideas about 3 years ago...

[Atak_Snajpera]

Only recently discovered Ripbot264 and use it daily to covert videos for iphone. My only wish is I'd like to 480x320 (Native iPhone Res) added in size templates.That would really save some time. And the ability to save jobs list in sort of text based file, so I could edit same parameters (size/crop) to apply for multiple videos.

Hope it's not too much trouble.
Thanks in advance.


PSP has similar vertical resolution 480x272 (16:9 or 1.78) . iPhone has 480x320 (1.5). if your movie has 16:9 aspect ratio then You must use 480x272 resolution (PSP profile). If your source has 4:3 then you use iPod profile. Simple!

mpiper
2-pass and CQ mode = VBR so it doesn't matter if you use for example 1023 or 1024! You really like to complicate your life :)

[mpiper]

Atak, you're probably right!:) I'm still very used to the older stuff (mjpeg was the video editing codec when I learned video editing, and miniDV didn't hit the market until 6 months after we started doing videos for my company.). So I just follow old habits.

Has anyone ever had any issues with the locks disc sizes in RipBot? i.e. the DVD4 and DVD9 ones? If they never go over the locked size, I may make life easier and use that. I'm just not sure how loose the variable rate is with x264, so I worry that a difficult encode might result in an oversized movie, which must be re-encoded to fit on a disc. (At 12-18 hours per movie, I'm not into repeats :D )

I have basically been using the lock to see the MAX bitrate that can be used for my movie, then rounding down to the nearest 1024 multiple, to allow for excess in the VBR. If the algorythms in your prog and x264 itself are tight enough to garrantee no oversizing, I'll use it for simplicity's sake.

BTW, a friend at work has been helping test the movies, and he wants to use your program, so I am writing a tutorial that includes installing, ripping, demuxing and then finally encoding. Writing it also is helping me bulletproof my process. RipBot264 is the featured program, so I'll post the finished product here at Doom9. (And I won't include my personal "quirks," only proper steps to garantee working movies.)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Lock size does not work well only in one case. Blu-Ray Structure + DTS audio.

[alchemy]

You can edit the templates and save them as you wish you know...

No, you can't, only x264 settings are part of profile. All setting of particular job stored in temp dir, if that's what you are referring to.

Thanks, It'll do for now. I just thought there is easy way to add this in next version....

You can create new Profiles in the RipBot264\Profiles folder...

Great program, just one little strange thing. When I use it on the computer with two monitors, RipBot opens on the second monitor, which I do not always have turned on. I can drag it to the first monitor, but when I click ADD, that also opens on the second monitor. I am using "extend my desktop" for the second monitor which is a DLP HDTV used for playing files. Is there any setting I can change to get Ribbot to open only on the first monitor?

Thanks

This because you have asked RipBot to encode the DTS-HD-MA track to AC3 640kpbs, you cannot do this as it needs to be converted into AC3. You have 2 options:
1.
Leave the audio profile as x.x copy stream and the final project will have a DTS-HD-MA audio track. Although this will play in some older versions of PowerDVD and the latest version of WinDVD it will not play in the latest versions of PowerDVD or a standalone Blu-Ray player as you have not made a AVCHD disk to spec. You will get just sound and no video or the reverse or a unknown format type error come up.

The AVCHD spec does not support DTS audio tracks, only AC3 5.1 upto 640kbps or LCPM 7.1 upto 1.5mbps:

http://www.avchd-info.org/format/index.html

2.
Demux the DTS audio track out, convert to AC3 with eac3to and remux AC3 audio track back and then feed this new .m2ts back into Ripbot

Regards,
Discoboy

[jamd1]

Thanks for the help Discoboy. I still have the demuxed video.264 and job1---.dts files made by Ripbot . If i can make a .ac3 from the .dts I can probably figure out how to remux them together. I've looked into the the dos help file of eac3to which doesn't give any examples on how to convert a HD .dts to .ac3. If possible please could you give me the commandline to do this ? Thx again.

It seems that NicAudio plugin does not like when audio contains two different streams (2.0 + 5.1). How to avoid that in future? Simply check if you have sound in preview.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Jamd1 if you send me DTS-HD samples I will try implement automatic DTS-core extraction in RipBot264.

This will help you to cut small samples. (20 MB for example)

I'll check your screenshoot.

CQ is for Consistent Quality if you are looking for an exact file size try Bit-rate Encoding...

[jamd1]

CQ is for Consistent Quality if you are looking for an exact file size try Bit-rate Encoding...

Thanks - I always use the 2 pass Bitrate method - I just wondered if there was any way to force a file size on a CQ encode.

[Adub]

There isn't. In order to keep with the "Constant Quality", every frame is the same general quality, but not the same quantizer. Thus if the quant varies from frame to frame, they have different sizes, resulting in a unpredictable file size. The only way to predict is to encode it atleast one or two times, and check the file size. Then adjust the crf value up or down, resulting in less or greater file size.

Sorry if that was a little fuzzy. Essentially you can't predict file size with CQ, only with n-th pass encodes.

[Sharc]

Size / crf predictions could possibly be made by producing sample clips using every 10th frame (or similar) of the movie only. This would shorten the time needed to estimate the final crf value.
Same method is used for mpeg2 1-pass encodes to find the appropriate Q value btw.

[DarkNite]

This is what I get for a getinfo.avs script upon adding a simple vob.

Reverted back to 1.9.2 and everything is fine. I just noticed the same thing happens with ripbot 1.9.3 to all my divx files (movies and tv episodes), while it happens on 1.9.2 only with Divx with Ac3 audio.

hi,
i just tested your app for the first time, 1.9.3 simple extract from 7z file

i'm a Megui user but i'm looking for a good powerful Gui but simple enough so i can recommand it to other people.

ripbot looks great.
i just opened one of my hdv clips, applied deinterlace, film denoise and encoded (2 pass).
the preview looked great but the encode failed during the 2nd pass (but doesn't report the error)

i looked at the log, it says this :
x264 [error]: failed to rename "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\job1.stats.temp" to "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\job1.stats"

Could it be because my default temp folder is located on an other drive ?

Later i installed the 1.9.2 version from installer and it worked (without the denoiser, obviously)


i also didn't find the way to tell ripbot that i wanted my output to be anamorphic (hdv is 1440x1080i anamorphic 16:9, i'd like to keep the ratio without resizing)

i hope the feedback helps making your little software better

I gave it a try and I did different tests. there is still something not working properly, I think.
Now the audio section of most of my divx movies and tv episodes is correctly processed but it takes a loooooot of time (well at least compared to previous ripbot versions!). After adding a divx file ripbot says: PLEASE WAIT DEMUXING AUDIO STREAMS... This takes about 30 seconds to complete sometimes and in some cases it does not complete at all and after a long wait a warning window tells me:

FILE COULD NOT BE OPENED! (C:\Temp\Ripbot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 4).

The same divx file opened with ripbot 264 v1.9.2 works like a charm and audio is processed very quickly.

hope this helps and thank you for your efforts and patience

[Atak_Snajpera]

In previous version only AC3 audio was demuxed from avi. I had few avis with mp3 where audio duration was not reported correctly so therefore I decided to always demux audio.
h264tsto didn't work well , mp4box didn't work either. Let's try with ffmpeg :)

Denoiser should be only used with old noisy source. (see screenshots) It helps alot to lower bitrate in CQ mode. Anime clip without denoising had almost two times higher bitrate @ CRF22 and looked worse.

Atak,

version 1.9.2 could accept .sup subtitle files. These are the source / raw subtitle files on HD-DVDs. The newest version 1.9.4 only accepts .srt files. Can you bring back the .sup feature?

Also, New Features I would like to see in 1.9.5:
Custo
Custom/ import Chapter List - like the .txt file created by eac3to.exe
Allow custom matrix - esp. prestige for very grainy/old sources where keeping grain is desired
Include FGO - The newest modified x264 builds seem to be including a Film Grain Optimization feature. Increases compression, while preventing banding.
m/

The Prestige and FGO are suggestions based on this thread:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=137117
I normally like to clean up grain, especially since the smoother the image, the better the compression will be, allowing more detail for the same file size. However, on the 5th page, there is an example of a 17Mbps source (300) with a 13Mbps copy, and a 9Mbps copy. The 9Mbps copy used Prestige and FGO, and resulted in a copy that fit on a DVD9 and still maintained the origional look of the film.

Honestly, the biggest request I have is for the chapter import, using the chapter list created by eac3to.exe.

Hi there Atak. I am really stuck and wonder if you can help. I use your program alot and find it amazing but everything i encode to 1080p always goes wrong. I either end up with a H264 error message or the file encodes fine but the audio cuts out half way through the movie.
This happens for alot of files not just a perticular one. Is there a known problem when encoding to 1080p. Alot of the times i am down sampling the audio from DTS to AC3.
Any help would be really appritiated.
Many thanks again for such a great program.

[Atak_Snajpera]

[spudman]

Ok... I am using MKV files that are 1080p. I am encoding to BluRay. I have to add borders using the option in the software and then i set ripbot to encode. Now when complete the file is usually around the 7.6gb mark and ends up with part audio missing. If i try to run it through tsmuxergui to add chapters it comes back as buffer overflow. Possible container streams are not syncronized.
Also some times when re encoding to bluray i get a windows error box pop up saying x264 has encountered an error.
Does this make sense ??? :)

This is in a file named "chapters.txt" Another disc I tried last week had names appearing in the CHAPTERxxNAME= line. But I am focused on the actual timing, not the chapter names.

Also, I am trying to convert a 1080p vc1 source to a 1080p h.264 source (using RipBot). Everything seems to work fine. But, after a large number of hours (8+), the x264.exe process drops to 0% cpu utilization, while using over 1GB of system ram. The processor is in Idle and has been for over an hour. It looks like the program has stalled out. Any idea what to check to see if it stalled out or is just working VERY slow?

[S.O.p]

Having a problem with audio from a camera-based MJPEG (avi) with PCM audio.

Programs says it's demuxing, says it's converting LPCM to FLAC and then when it gets to it, says NO Audio. I have also tried converting audio to a number of different formats with avidemux but RipBot still says No Audio.

I did, in desperation, try SUPER which worked flawlessly but have since uninstalled which may be causing some issues. I have reinstalled the latest 1.9.4 installer and avisynth 2.5.7 since then.

Anything I can do to fix the problem?

Make sure that you use wmv9 decoder instead of libavcodec

It will be fixed in new version

[S.O.p]

Ok, thanks. It's not me then.

Happened to try Staxrip in the meantime, the encoded file came out with slowed down audio (something else to sort out )but it left the .wav file handy so I'm now trying RipBot with it. Encoding atm.

I assume new version will be when it's done?

Edit2: Cutting the track out with avidemux (as I use it as my initial clip editor) works a treat it seems. Besides the little audio problem, everything looks sweet. Nowhere to donate?

Well, after experimenting a little with Virtualdub, I discovered the issue with the encodes. I am using WMV9 to decode. However, encoding a 1920X1080 to a mjpg (I have a comercial version that is incredibly fast) at 1920X1080 with the MSU denoise filer (set at 75,35) was going to take 2 days, 22 hours and some minutes. So, if you add any additional work (i.e. re-encoding to h264), you're looking at encoding times beyond belief! Just a side effect of the resolution and my processor speed I guess. After all, 1920X1080 is 6 times the pixelcount per frame.

I'm trying a similar encode but with a 1280X720 resize, which should cut down the encoding time by about half.

[jamd1]

Just going to try out the denoiser with some older movies - but there are no profiles for this in the profiles directory. Where can i get the 2 denoiser profiles mentioned on page 1 or how do i activate denoising? Thx.

[mpiper]

Jamd1,

Once you load the video, click "Properties." The denoise function and profiles are on the third page of properties. This is VERY slow. However, it is PHENOMINAL! in what it can do to clean a noisy source.

To see the original source and an example (using SD video) the website is:
http://compression.ru/video/denoising/index_en.html

I love this filter, especially since they got GPU functionality added. The old one was VERY slow, even on DVD/ SD sources. The only problem is 720X480 video is only .3 megapixels perframe, while HD is 2.1 megapixels, a 700% increase in resolution and pixel count, meaning a very slow process for HD video. But if you have the processor (or time) to support it, this is an incredible way to clean film grain without sacrificing detail.

[octium]

I used the installer, and it seems to work fine.

The program will generate a job1_EncodeVideoPass1.cmd with syntax that needs to be edited every time in order to work. It happens no matter what the settings seem to be in the gui (CQ/2Pass/etc)

"E:\RipBot264v1.9.4\tools\x264\x264.exe" "E:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\job1.avs" --crf 22 --level 4.1 --sar 1:1 --aud --nal-hrd --vbv-bufsize 14000 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --filter 0,0 --ref 3 --mixed-refs --bframes 3 --b-pyramid --b-rdo --bime --weightb --direct auto --subme 6 --trellis 1 --analyse all --8x8dct --me umh --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output "E:\Temp\RipBot264temp\video.264"

Hi


first of all: I like RipBot very much ;)
I tried doing the hole thing by myself (setting up a avisynth script and start x264 with right parameters)
but it didn't work out.
So RipBot is my choice.

There are just some little things, I would like to know:
i edited the .ini so that the iPod/iPhone profile is default.
When I convert a Video, I klick on "Add", search the Video, and then there is the "tricky" part: I need to resize my videos.
Because I have to do this with a lot of files, it would be nice if I could add the resize option
to the iPod/iPhone profile. That would save me 50% of klicks.

And it would also be nice, if there would be an option "convert all movies in directory xxxx".
If that would be possible, and RipBot would use the default profile with the resize, that would be almost perfect !


So if anything could be done, I would be very thankfull.

I am having trouble with Blu-rays that have True sound HD. Ripbot converts the sound to a continuos buzz. If I remux the .m2ts first ,downsampling the audio to ac3 with TSmuxer then Ripbot cuts the audio demuxing short ( by different amounts on every attempt- sometimes after 1min - sometimes after 5 or 7?????). Is there any way around this? thx.

[gav1577]

Hi atak any chance of adding a few more options to the gui please ?
1. custom cqm option
2 dead zones options
3 b-frame mode option
4 and maybe --fgo
5 aq strength
or if not a custom cmd line would be great
It would make it easier for me and others not to have to edit the job
cmd files all the time for e.g low dead zones for grain preservation
perhaps these options could be hidden from the average user and available to the more advanced user by editing the ini file like a hidden section
I know i could use megui but i like the way ripbot makes thing easy
by doing your muxing and working out bitrate and m2ts overhead thanks

[turbojet]

Hi, thanks for the program, I've found it excellent in calculating bluray output with AC3 and srt.

However I've been having some oversize issues using DTS and bluray output. The two different movies I've tested so far have been 63-64 MB oversized. Both used target sizes of 4480MB(720p) and 8150MB(1080p). Could more accurate calculations with DTS to bluray output possibly be looked into?

Also, is there any plans for sup (original subs tsmuxer and xport+ spit out) support? In the 5 tests I've done I've concluded: <sum of all sup files> + 2-3 MB per sup file = m2ts file size increase.

I'll continue to do more tests. If more results and\or more accurate results could help I'm more than willing to share.

[jamd1]

In my above problem getting Ripbot to fully demux the audio from a remuxed .m2ts - the only way i could do it was split the 2 hour movies into 6 parts and ripbot each part - then join the re-encoded files back together. The 2 blu-ray movies with TrueHD sound i had problems with were "Across The Universe" and "Welcome To The Jungle". Whenever rejoining .m2ts files there is always a glitch on the join. Rather than joining and remuxing .m2ts files are there any tools to make a .mpls playlist for a reauthored bluray that will play the separate .m2ts files seamlessly.

Well I have a dual boot xp/vista setup. I rarely use vista but I thought I'd try Ripbot out with my problem movies. Surprise- The audio demux ran through perfectly first time. The only thing that was changed In my setup was that I installed the latest beta of ffdshow on vista (on xp I have the latest stable Dec07 version). Is this likely a Vista benefit or could the later ffdshow be the reason it worked?

@Atak_Snajpera:

Hi again. Since I've installed the new 1.9.4, all my newly generated AVC/H.264 files have not been able to be played by Apple QuickTime player. My previous version 1.9.2 has no problem producing files playable on QuickTime player.

QT player simply reports "Invalid sample description" and refuses to play it. VLC player on Mac has no problem playing it.

So I decided to use GSpot to check the video/4CCs and audio codec stored in the new mp4 files. I noticed one difference in the audio codec reported by GSpot. In the mp4 files produced by 1.9.2, audio was set to "mp4a: MPEG-4 AAC LC", whereas 1.9.4 set it to "mp4a: MPEG-2 AAC LC"

"mp4a: MPEG-2 AAC LC" is clearly an invalid codec in a MP4 container

Ref: http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=Category:Audio_Codecs

Is there any reason for the change? Could you change it back to "mp4a: MPEG-4"?

Thanks a lot!

EDIT: Additional info - the video I was converting from is AVI DivX+MPEG1 Layer 3. While 1.9.4 insisted on demuxing my audio, 1.9.2 didn't and converted the audio directly from AVI to AAC. I hope this will help you debugging it.

[god_md5]

look like the 1.94 blu-ray out can not add srt ,test two time

[Sarreq Teryx]

[Yumepuro]

Wow... I am amazed, what I was looking for was right here under my nose; I didn't expect your GUI "RipBot" to do what I wanted. Simply because I was under the impression that it would be like the rest of the application programs. I was wrong and I’m glad I was because I got what I was looking for, to be able to play one "MPEG4" file in both PSP and PS3 and at good quality for a great size is just what I wanted... First off Thank you Atak_Snajpera for making such a thing possible but I must know in order to appreciate your hard work... can you please teach me the way it works, i like to understand the ins and outs of how things work. I love to learn but I don't know where to start can you please give me an explanation I would be totally grateful for you. You don’t know the frustration of trying to Encode a video file that will work on both systems (PSP, PS3) I tried many different applications and all of them would work on only one or thy other two days of reading and fiddling around other programs lead me to giving up but a ray of hope shine me to yours. And I was just so happy and full of joy. I just want to know what the settings, limitations and requirements needed in order to play a proper MPEG4 for both PSP and PS3. Finding something and having it work is great, but learning how it works and why it works makes it even better. I hope you can understand me and my desire to learn please guide me to a idiot proof guidance because I’m not very Knowledgeable in a/v formats and encoding but I’m a fast learner.

[jamd1]

double post - sorry please delete

[jamd1]

I would like to get sample :) At least 50 MB
I managed to finally encode these 2 movies with ripbot - only using Vista though. I have used Ripbot 1.92 on other movies with True HD - and Ripbot has just ignored the TrueHD stream - only demuxing other audio. ( Beowulf worked ok with just 5.1 audio stream).
On these 2 True HD movies Ripbot 1.94 made an attempt at encoding the audio but using xp it cut the demuxing short before"gathering information". I tried it at leaset 20 times and a 2hr movie stopped demuxing after anywhere from 5 mins to 1hr 50 mins. When I finally got it working with vista - pass1 ran ok and pass2 ran with 1 vbv buffer underflow error - movie encoded ok. Sorry don't have the log any more.
Also a small sample might not be any good as the demuxing often ran well into several gb of .m2ts data.
This may be an isolated problem - although I have only done a few True HD movies.

[dchao]

@Atak_Snajpera:

Did you find out why I am getting "mp4a: MPEG-2 AAC LC" in the sample description? Right now, I have to downgrade to 1.9.2 to encode some of my videos.

Thanks!

Any ideas? Whatever the issue with that bitmap is, it makes it so loading a file is impossible (seems like it skips the detection of length/content because it can't find this file).

Whatever the problem was, apparently going to sleep and coming back the next morning fixed it. :P For the record, I left the PC on all night, so it wasn't rebooting or anything that fixed it.

can ripbot do a quick 1 pass encode?

other tools i use (xvid4psp) doesnt have a target filesize option so thats why i rely on ripbot :)

As for the MediaInfo\unknown.bmp That is fault of the directory shortcut pointing to ripbot.exe and not the directory as well...
Right click on the shortcut => properties In the window that appears go to "start in path" and add the

After every encode finishes I get this error: "MP4Box.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.", but the encode still finishes and outputs the file. This is very annoying because if I don't click "Close" on the dialog with the error message RipBot will not continue encoding the other videos in the queue, which defeats the purpose of a batch encoder.

[Atak_Snajpera]

If you see characteristic horizontal lines in source then you must use deinterlace function to get rid of them.
If you notice that video is not smooth because contains repeated frames then you should use decimate function to delete cloned frames.

I keep getting the same error. What exactly do you mean by remove all codecs? I think this may be my problem. I have the latest FFdshow and Haali media splitter installed. I also went into ffdshow and changed the vc1 settings to WMV. I also downloaded windows media asf video 9 series.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I don't know what you've installed in your system but if you have K-lite codec pack or something similar installed then uninstall them.

megui
ts muxer
avisynth 2.5

Reinstall everything! AviSynth , FFDShow , Haali Media Splitter

ok well I reinstalled everything. Still got the same error. Could it be something to do with my m2ts files? Again, I ripped them to my hard drive. There is multiple audio streams and a single video stream. From there I just try and add them directly to ripbot and thats when im getting the error.

[xaero]

hmm, i tried to re-encode a wmv file on CQ 22, using PSP profile and there was audio lag at about afer 1/3 of the video when i played it. and as the video plays, the lag becomes more and more apparent.

[survivant001]

my request was not just for me-prepass but for any options in x264. liek fgo.. before you had the command in ripbot.

add convertfps=true and let me know if this helps
video=DirectShowSource("C:\Users\Dawidos\Desktop\Dust_to_Glory_720\Dust_to_Glory_720.wmv",convertfps=true,audio=false).ConvertToYV12()

Hi,
Thanks for this great program! Any ETA on a fix for the output file size with DTS audio please?
I'm working on it at the moment. It requires time because I need to do few test and this also means many hours of encoding even on my Core2Duo3GHz :)

ESA is ultimate search algorithm so I see no reason to use me-prepass

I have now completed 5 1080p with DTS 1.5mbps projects to DVD-9. All have needed 60-65mb removed from the DVD9 8150mb lock size option so far. Maybe this data helps you with your DTS calculations etc.?:helpful:

take your current encode as an example and keep decreasing/increasing filesize in 10MB's (example) for the longer/shorter duration. :)

Atak - just tried ripbot on a few more True HD movies - same problem- The True HD stream demuxes with ripbot to a silent audio stream with what looks like the correct filesize. If I remux the movie with TSmuxer and downsample the audio to ac3 then the demuxing with ripbot using win xp cuts the demuxing short. Don't know if ripbot is supposed to support True HD audio - but if you want a small sample (20mb like the HD dts one i gave you) -let me know. Movies are spiderman 1 and 2 bluray.

Just tried demuxing True HD audio only (without downsampling) using both tsmuxer and tsremux - both produce different file sizes - yet both are silent.
It seems there is no way at the moment to preserve True HD when remuxing or riping bluray??

[Sarreq Teryx]

I have a filename error, I think it's related to the program ripbot is using to demux MP3 audio, but I'm not sure. with any files where I have an inverted question mark [ ¿ ] (I use them in place of normal ones), the audio fails to demux, and ripbot reports "NO AUDIO" in the audio profile box.
it's not a major problem, but it really shouldn't be having it

Remember. Some tools (and AviSynth as well) are not designed for unicode chars.

Current decoders support only core AC3. The same applies to DTS-HD.

can someone point in me in the right direction for getting good results from re-encodeing a movie down to DVD size? excuse my noobness, i am just not sure what does what ...

[supersportsroadster]

I've installed RipBot 264, MatroskaSpilter290308, ffdshow-rev1953__20080504_xxl and AVISynth-258 and am trying to open a bluray vid file.

I get the following error in Media player classic.
DirectShowSource: couldn't open file C:\....\00001.m2ts: Cannot play back the file. The format is not supported. (C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs,line 1).

I've tried this on two machines one being a clean Vista install.

I also tried installing klcodec390f.

What else do I need to get RipBot working?

[JimmyFace]

Is it supposed to take 90 hours to do a 2 pass encode of a blu-ray movie down to 720p MKV with a single core P4 3.2 ghz? Is there anything I can tweak to speed this up?

[chuuey]

thanks for the update ^^

[survivant001]

for 1.9.7 you should add the option for splitting the moviefor blu-ray output. useful when exporting the FAT32 drive like USB.

You have single core. What did you expect? You should invest in quad-core.

[JimmyFace]

You have single core. What did you expect? You should invest in quad-core.

Yes, I figured maybe four times as long as a quad, but not over ten times longer. I just wanted to make sure this was normal.

Also, the program is awesome but I find selecting the audio tracks annoying. It would be great if you had a little player embedded in ripbot that would play the selected audio track from the drop down so you could determine quickly if it was Spanish, German, English, etc. Also, often I find the drop down is not wide enough to display the full path to the audio files. Perhaps making this a bit wider would help in determining which audio file you are selecting.

Keep up the great work.

Yes making the ripbot window stretchable would be useful - I always browse to the audio file to be sure.

I like the installer AJAX, but I am still unable to read an m2ts (Bluray) file. I uninstalled everything before using your installer (RipBot 264, MatroskaSpilter, ffdshow,AVISynth-258, MEGUI and DVDFab.

Maybe consider to add a download link on the 1st post for the Videohelp (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/RipBot264) page, it downloads much faster from there than that Mediafire link (plus the Mediafire link looks kinda "unprofessional" IMO)

[Toryglen-boy]

does anyone want to post some ideas for settings when re-encoding from from 1080 to 720?

I am encoding from a 20Gb rip to 4.5Gb, and although i am doing a 2 pass encode, setting the options on the GUI as best as i know, its still good, but not great. encoding is taking around 16 hours on a 1.8Ghz C2Duo, which is what i expect

any replies welcome

:p

[Toryglen-boy]

i also find that when i resize, and i ask it to automatically crop to keep the OAR, i still get the padding of the black bars, i thought it was because i was playing it in fullscreen on my laptop, but when i resize the image from fullscreen, it takes the bars, as an integral part of the movie

how can i REALLY remove them?

Ok upload a sample of the file and we will be able to help otherwise we are in the dark as far your problem is concerned...

Do you have any other issues with the operating of your PC...

If so then all I can see is probably a reinstall of the entire os...

I figured it out the video I was trying to use wasn't decrypted correctly. Now I've gotten it running to the point where it says normailzing audio so I'll see if it works from there :).

[topsham]

I've just bought the Planet Earth box set in HD DVD format (because they were much cheaper than Blu-ray) and would now like to convert each one hour episode to a AVCHD DVD5 to play on my PS3.

I have tried using TSMuxer to separate the audio and video streams and Ripbot264 to make the AVCHD files but Ripbot264 won't accept the VC1 file.

I also tried using TSMuxer to create an m2ts file but Ripbot264 said there was no audio even though Media Player Classic could play it fine!

Can anyone advise the best way to go about this please?

Wow, RipBot264 seems the only program so far that managed to do what I wanted, hassle-free: convert 1080p VC-1 stream to AVC. Thanks!

One question, though, is there a lossless Profile? I couldn't find one (v. 1.9.6). If not, how can I max out the quality? I want the absolute best quality there is (as I'm not interested in compression, but merely need an AVC stream for compatibility reasons with the PS3).

Again, thanks!

[Atak_Snajpera]

If not, how can I max out the quality?
level 4.1 gives max quality :) If you are really in crazy mood you can always use ESA + RDO Level 2. One more thing. Don't complain if encoding will be VERY slow,ok?

Pfew. :) It took approx 10 hours (1080p), constantly keeping my 4 cores at 100% burn. But the result is spectacular!

A (semi) important question, though: where do you keep the tmp files? Can you set the location of the scratch-disk? I'd hate to run out of disk space after 9 hours of rendering! :)

Hello all,

very good work, thx!!!

I tried to "shrink" my Die Hard 4.0 (Euro) bluray disc to a blu-DVD9 as a first test run ;-)
AnyDVD ripped it to the hard disc, no problem so far. I chose the 4.1 profile, 8150 as target size and the german DTS source. I created a ISO image with imgburn, mounted it with daemon tools and tried to play it with PowerDVD 7.3 (latest update). PowerDVD recognized the image and started to play, but only for a few seconds. I can search/skip, no problem, but the video stops playing after 2-10 seconds depending to the scene, audio will play.

Any ideas? Is it a problem in PowerDVD, deamon tools ... ? Should I try it to burn in on DVD-9 disc?

Thx,

I don't let RipBot264 do my audio. Why bother? When it's all done, I just use tsMuxeR to join the new AVC stream with the original audio track.

I think this is probably more related to x264 itself, and I'll post a note there also, but, it seems that it's taking very little if any advantage of my multi-core system. on my single CPU Athlon64 2.20Ghz (Athlon 64 3400+) a 720x480 video will run at between 2.6 and 6.8fps taking a 24minute video roughly 2 to 3 hours to encode. using the same source file and the same options, on my dual-core athlon x2 1.68Ghz system, it does just about the same, which could be easily explained by sse3, ssse3 and the improved design of of an x2's single CPUs, but it seems that there's no gain from the second CPU at all. does x264 maybe need a command line option to use a second CPU?

hrmm, how fast do your encodes run?

[asarian]

hrmm, how fast do your encodes run?

Depends. A 1080i source, all with insane high settings, around 10 hours; a full 1080p movie around 20 hours.

[Sarreq Teryx]

so my reply from the x264 thread was that it is a command line option which is off by default
--threads auto
I think the default is "--threads auto", which will detect the optimal number of threads for your computer (threads = 3/2 * cores)Default is singlethreaded, which, well, I disagree with that default :pis that being used?

Nero 8 will do it too, but the process is a little convoluted and takes just as long. I usually use Nero to convert the stream to an MPEG2 file. It's a bigger file but takes less time.

I set Ripbot off yesterday evening processing a 50 minute m2ts file to blu-ray. The original was 7GB and I wanted it to fit on a standard dvdr.

The first pass had both cores of my c2d 2.33gzh at 100% and it took about 4 hours. Since it started phase 2 x264.exe has only been using 50% of each core and Ripbot no longer predicts how long the process will take.

Is there any way I can tell if it is still doing something or stuck in some endless loop? The process has taken 20 hours so far!

[~bT~]

^ try hovering your mouse over the ripbot264 icon.

i use ripbot for convert my bluray in .m2ts, because megui don't do this, but with ripbot is possibile choose more audio file? or is possibile choose only 1 file .ac3 or .dts ? because i want make a m2ts movie with more languages.

thanks for the support.

Hmm, I guess subtitles are a bit of a no-go. :(

I tried adding a .sup file ("Build in"), but RipBot264 trips on it, and says (in preview):

TextSub: "Can't open R:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\0006.sup"

Riight. And then RipBot264 just says it's "Done" with the job altogether. Riight.

Anyone know of a solution?

if you don't insert in this case, two audio, the video is calculated by one audio, and when i remux .h264 and audio, i must remux only 1 audio with video, and not two, because the video have the dimension for 1 audio.

you understand..... ?

it's very very very very important the audio in ripbot, i don't convert it, i select copy stream, but is more useful to have the possibility to choose more audio...

No, I don't. :) Your original m2ts will still contain all the audio streams that came with it. So, just let RipBot264 convert the video, open the new stream with tsMuxeR, then add the original m2ts file, and select therein just the audio streams you want to keep, and remux the lot.

You understand...... ? :)

Atak could you create a iPod classic (320 x 240) profile for the program? Also it would be helpful to make the text a bit more readable. Thanks for the cool program.

[Ronin-7]

Cool thanks for the tip, as to why well maybe it's just my ears (or perception) but I hear a noticeable difference between 128k and 256/320 when converting movies & the Xbox 360 only supports AAC LC 2.0 so as size isn't an issue I'd like to to use 256 or 320 option.

Anyway thanks for that suggestion I will use that instead.

[Robertus]

You don't understand......!
He is trying to re-encode movie with two or more audio streams. Problem is that bitrate (Locked size) will be calculated only according to one audio stream!

FINALLY! ;)

and you think that in other version about ripbot you can insert the function for allow multiple audio for output: bluray disc ?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Two audio streams will be enough?

[dirio49]

I really like you GUI, but i would appericate if you upload somewhere else too.
because today when i tried to download it was downloading with 20 kb at max.
thanks

Added: 4GB splitting for Blu-Ray (Reason: FAT32 on flashdrives)

oh yes! I won't have to do it myself :)

Replaced: FGO with Psy RDO (Always enabled)
Updated: x264 r869 , MediaInfo v0.7.7.1

cool, I won't have to do it myself :)

next version dual audio ? :)

and substitle in .idx format ? (it will be hardsub, or converted using external tools.. don't know how to do it yet)

[ebucha]

First off, great work on the GUI. It's nearly ready to replace AutoMKV as far as my needs go. Second, another mirror would be very helpful as Mediafire is being particularly slow lately. Here are some general thoughts:

Would it be possible to add AQ strength options to the Codec Settings or as a profile option in the future? This would allow a per profile AQ setting to better match source type (live action vs animated for example) since the AQ strength required varies depending on the type of source. Also, it would be great if a custom avisynth source could be specified in the profile. This would allow power users to easily (without manually editing the avisynth script) select DirectShowSource for avi and other formats thereby enabling ffdshow preprocessing on the source. This would offer a more generic filtering option than the MSU filtering already present in ripbot. I know these ideas are somewhat against your "Simple and Easy" ethos, but they would be a great help to us power users. Just some food for though.

Keep up the great work,
ebucha

Hi Atak_Snajpera are you still going to add an option to to load custom profiles or maybe some sort of option to use low dead zones i hear they work well with psy-rdo better than trelis 1 ?

[topsham]

Now that HD DVD support has been added, I tried to convert one of the Planet Earth episodes but got the following error:

DirectShowSource: couldn't open file C:\Temp\RipBot264tem\job1\HD-DVD.mkv:
The media type of this file is not recognized.
(C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line1)

Any idea what the problem could be?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Well, since you're apparently in an answering mood today, tell me, when encoding "The Matrix" (HD DVD), I keep seeing errors like these:

[x264] Warning: VBV underflow (-129124 bits)

So, are these Video Buffer Verifier serious? I mean, should I abort the encoding and change a setting?

Please, advise.

[Robertus]

Two audio streams will be enough?

yes, two audio streams is perfect, if you can insert this in future release about ripbot, will be fantastic.

and for the bluray disc output, if i can advise you, would be able to perfect subtitles in. sub. idx -. srt (already present) and. sup

think is possible?

thanks anyway for the support and for your beautiful work.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Don't worry about that. It is nothing serious.

[asarian]

You don't understand......!
He is trying to re-encode movie with two or more audio streams. Problem is that bitrate (Locked size) will be calculated only according to one audio stream!

Remuxing in one of the original audio streams, afterwards, always works for me. So, I still don't understand. :) But that's okay: I'll take your word for it.

[survivant001]

@Atak_Snajpera

is it possible to desactivate the validation about the format when selecting bluray output ? Sometime I want to bluray outpur to burn it.. but most of the time it's only for watching.. and I want to keep the ac3 or dts audio track, so I can't choose the mp4 ouput.

[alexf1852]

@Atak,

Is there any possibility of ripbot264 getting the ability to encode by title from a DVD? I would like to be able to select which titles on a DVD I want encoded and also apply the same encode settings to each of the titles. This feature would be very helpful in encoding episodic DVDs. Or is this already a possibility with the current version?

[stax76]

Is there any possibility of ripbot264 getting the ability to encode by title from a DVD?

Only application doing this is AutoGK, AutoMKV and Nero I think. It's only required for few DVDs so most authors don't bother to add such a feature.

You can prepare things manually with DVD Decrypter in IFO mode ripping titles. It's easy to rip doing something like surfing while ripping because DVD Decrypter shows a message box when finished with a title, you have to select and start another title then.

If you have a full rip on HD and titles don't have dedicated VOBs you can use PGCDemux or what I do is reauthor using DVD Shrink. This allows also to save titles in a single VOB file which most batch applications require. DVD Decrypter also allows to save as single VOB file, I'm not sure about PGCDemux.

[jamd1]

Nice update - couldn't see anywhere for an option to split the bluray files into fat32 size ?

Edit : Now that is clever it does it automatically. Please share the method - I have been looking for a way to split .m2ts files like this and yet still have them played automatically in order via the Bluray structure. How can I do this with existing .m2ts files without re-encoding again?

[Ajax_Undone]

The installer has been updated to include the latest updates... Check it out its in my signature...

Hey Atak_Snajpera

Ended 4GB encode with 1.9.6 flawless, installed 1.9.7 and tried a new 8GB encode of same source (m2ts h264-1080p with lpcm sound):

[asarian]

Don't worry about that. It is nothing serious.

Hmm, I'm getting less optimistic. These constant errors keep slowing down encoding significantly (< 2fps), and the new AVC file is already twice the size of the original VC-1 stream.

I'm sure I have some setting wrong, but when converting VC1 to M2TS, I find my bitrate goes way down. Like it's 15+ Mbps on the original and the output is like 2 -3 Mbps.

[solis0001]

OK, first off - absolutely great app! Now, for the questions (which were hopefully not previously answered - meaning I missed 'em):

How about a setting for video/audio of just 'copy' to be used with the resizing/adding borders to get PS3 compliant videos - or set the profile for PS3 and just 'copy' without having to re-encode? Basically, just adding the borders to get to the proper PS3 size?

Did the set output size go away on this latest version (7)?

Oh, yeah: Great App!!!

[JPSiemer]

just poppin by to say that i love the app.

only have one problem with it... and i'm sure it's easily fixed...

is there any way that I can have the app autosize the video based on my preferred width?

say if I want all my vids to have the width of 720 or 704, i would like the app to be able to tell me what I should correctly be resizing my height to and still preserving the aspect ratio...

thanks!

ok, cool, one more question...

is there a way you can add like an advanced x264 settings box like Handbrake does? I would like to use a custom CQM and set a couple other options that cant be configured or input into the GUI without editing the commandline files every time... and is there a way to turn off the turbo 1st pass?

thanks!

why not use megui in this case?

also, has anyone else noticed a massive speed drop in 1.9.7 im going from 200fps to about 90fps on the same source, using the same settings for PSP encodes?

[JPSiemer]

because I find MeGUI to be glitchy. i'm still pretty new at this so i might not be doing things right, but it seems like I can only rip 4 out of 5 DVDs successfully, and then I turn to another program... i would love to just do it all in one program and not waste a lot of time...

i'm sure it wouldn't take any time at all to add this funtionality, and it can be ignored by casual users...

[JPSiemer]

ok, this doesnt make any sense...

so i encoded a 2 hour movie with a bitrate of 1100 and got a filesize of 787 MB, which is completely wrong and is not 1100 kbps... so i upped the bitrate and reencoded with the same settings @ 1300 kbps and I ended up with a filesize of 787 MB again!

so what is going on? why is my bitrate being ignored?

my first pass is:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\RipBot264\tools\x264\x264.exe" "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\job1.avs" --pass 1 --bitrate 1281 --stats "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\job1.stats" --level 5.1 --sar 1:1 --aud --nal-hrd --vbv-bufsize 768 --vbv-maxrate 5000 --filter 0,0 --bframes 3 --b-pyramid --direct auto --subme 2 --analyse none --me dia --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\video.264"

[Atak_Snajpera]

First of all do not modify command line generated by app, ok!?
Custom matrices are useless since we have AQ and PsyRDO (enabled by default)
For god sake why do you use --vbv-bufsize 768 --vbv-maxrate 5000?????

i would like the app to be able to tell me what I should correctly be resizing my height to and still preserving the aspect ratio...
hmmmmm..... This should be easy.......

The HD-DVD.mkv file I have when the error message pops up is only 1KB.
I was very lazy and I assumed that video stream is always on first track. In your example on first are chapters :) It's very easy to fix.

also, has anyone else noticed a massive speed drop in 1.9.7 im going from 200fps to about 90fps on the same source, using the same settings for PSP encodes?
I've increased ref frames to 3.

But I am a nice guy and uploaded a 17 sec 30MB clip with a m2ts 1080p/lpcm sample to reproduce typo:
Fixed. Without sample it would be difficult to find reason.

1080+1536 8,555,704,320 <- 983,650,437 DTS
105m48s
720+768 4,693,395,456 <- 598,731,966 DTS -> 755kbps (737kbps)
1080+768 8,540,540,928 <- 598,731,966 DTS
96m34s
720+1536 4,694,501,376 <- 1,092,854,016 DTS -> 1509kbps (1474kbps)
1080+1536 8,554,985,472 <- 1,092,854,016 DTS

1080+1536 8,552,589,312 <- 991,658,464 DTS

As you can see bitrate in DTS is very inaccurate. This is main reason why my calculating formula is not working well. With those data I should be able to fix this for good :)

[JPSiemer]

well, without --vbv-bufsize 768 --vbv-maxrate 5000 playback on the Xbox running XBMC stutters like crazy. with it, it plays just fine. not sure why this setting does what it does, but it seems to be the best setting after 50 or so test encodes with various different settings.

also, i am just trying to acheive a specific video bitrate, (i'm not worried about overall bitrate / just vid bitrate)... how can I get RipBot264 to properly use the bitrate i set? it ignores it everytime and outputs the same exact filesize every time regardless of bitrate... you see, setting the proper bitrate is key to achieving stutterless playback of h.264 on XBMC -- the higher the res, the lower my bitrate, and the lower the res, the higher I can go...

Hello Masters!!! :)

Just for an comment. I search over 5 weeks, tested all the video programs and utility for backuping my blu-ray titles on a dvd9 or dvd5 format. I have downloaded the update, 1.9.6, use an decryptor + tsmuxer to remux in m2ts just 1 language and 1 video, ripbot reconvert sucessfully my video for Blu.Ray ouput with specific size.

Everything work perfectly. Thanks for a great main programs like that. It's long, but quality is AWESOME. Im happy. Now i will can transfer an AVCHD camera output in the way.

Continous your great work. IF any question, message me. Thanks!

Atak_Snajpera, could you answer my previous question about the bitrate? I'm going crazy over here because none of my encodes follow the bitrate I set -- it seems like they are fixed and never change... the only way I can achieve closer to the bitrate in mind is trying to find the CRF value that comes close to what I'm looking for... It would be nice just to know or not if others are having this problem, because then I would know its something I'm doing wrong...

Thanks a lot... great app by the way -- I like it more than MeGUI, Handbrake, and StaxRip because of its ease of use and it just works (in most areas!) There are a couple things that could be added like the ability to input custom x264 settings that arent available in the GUI. this isn't as big of a deal tho as not being able to turn off the turbo 1st pass! i always like 2 FULL passes on my material. can you make this a setting in the INI or maybe even the GUI?

Need help! I'm trying to re-encode VC1 bluray video to AVC or MPEG2. Using RipBot264, I've been able to do this sucessfully. However, the final product has a bitrate far below the original. I've tried changing most of the setting within RipBot and ffdshow without sucess. I start out with up to 25Mbps on the original and end up with 3 - 5 Mbps, just about DVD quality. I'm trying to solve the problem of streaming VC1 encoded video to the PS3. I have another solution, but it's also not without issues. Any thoughts?

What resolution did you use? What bitrate did you use?

[Tyrod]

What resolution did you use? What bitrate did you use?


Well, the resolution is 1920x1080P and I see no place to specify bitrate. Only a place to specify "MAX BITRATE" which I have set to 100000 (previously 10000). But the transcoding never reached the default MAX BITRATE.

Oh my god! What are you doing???? Do not change anything in profile!!!!!!

Change mode to 2-pass!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is this that difficult to find it????

Dude, don't have an embolism. This is just a tool to me. Thanks for providing it. I'm no video expert. I just need some instructions.

If nothing is supposed to be change in profile, why would changing be allowed?

And no mode change is not hard to find, I just needed to know WHAT to change.

You should play more with gui...

[Tyrod]

Quite a circular argument. Play with GUI but don't change profile. OOOOk...gotcha.

Thanks anyway

[Ajax_Undone]

??? Ok well the profiles are made so they work with the hardware they were written for... You are free to create new ones if you like I find it best to leave the originals the way they are...

You may also edit the originals but doing so is not recommended or supported unless you know what you are doing...

The GUI has Bit-Rate and CQ mode... CQ is the best way to get good quality, bit-rate is manly used if you want a certain size (ie 700MBCD~4500MBDVD)... (Lower CQ = Better Quality)

Most recommend to read up on some of the stuff b4 you go about encoding that way you know all the terms and abbreviations so you can talk and read with a little more education on the matter...

Thank you. Good explaination. I've read the entire thread but it tends to get caught up in minutia and jobs I'm not interested in performing. I don't need to be an expert in cars in order to drive one. I just need to know how to drive.

[Ajax_Undone]

You do however need to be an expert in mechanics to rebuild one... For your knowledge if any. You are rebuilding video like rebuilding a car certain rules need to be fallowed in order to get it to work correctly...

Proverbially tossing a wrench into the fan belts by changing properties you know nothing about can cause irreparable damage to you encoded Video...

Quite a circular argument. Play with GUI but don't change profile. OOOOk...gotcha.

Thanks anyway

Remember Driving a car has nothing to do with whats under the hood...^^^
The car is the GUI the profiles are the scary moving parts...

I never said Read The Entire Thread I simply said to read up on some of the stuff b4 you go about encoding so the attitude is worthless and miss aimed...

The creator of this GUI Project Works very hard in his free time to make it as simple as he can so dolts like you can easily encode Video to mp4 mkv and BluRay...

(The presets are there to save you time and effort and are set to give you the best quality)

Bit-rate doesn't mean quality... I could encode a video from 30Mbps to a Variable using CQ between 15 to 6Mbps and never miss anything in quality

Atac is a great guy for not charging upwards of 50USD for this app plus one on one help to figure out the problems you are having... (so do us all a favor and loose the attitude b4 you inquire again)


PS. Atac We might need to put a "For Dummies" Guid Up... And no mode change is not hard to find, I just needed to know WHAT to change.

^^^Not the profile^^^

[asarian]

The GUI has Bit-Rate and CQ mode... CQ is the best way to get good quality, bit-rate is manly used if you want a certain size (ie 700MBCD~4500MBDVD)... (Lower CQ = Better Quality)
I came here asking for the same thing: high-quality VC-1 -> AVC transcoding. Atak kindly advised me to use ESA + RDO Level 2. So I did. And now I use CQ and CRF = 18 (which I read is near lossless). Then I copied the HD-Bluray profile into a custom MAX profile with these settings, and now everything is super-shiny. :)

I'm quite a newbie too, so I'm sure Atak will occassionally have a hard time dealing with the frustrations of us noobs. :) But I hope he keeps remembering that his program exists precisely because not everyone is a video expert. :) I, for one, like to think of myself as so many of my friends: knowledgeable to work DVD Rebuilder and such reasonably sensibly, but not much beyond that. Stepping into the HD world, I assure you, can be a bit daunting at first. :)

But yes, thanks be to Atak and his great program! I even had it build in subtitles recently; and even that went without a hic-up!

[Atak_Snajpera]

PS. Atac We might need to put a "For Dummies" Guid Up...
I have no time for that. Real job + RipBot264 + EURO2008 + GTAIV ... and so on :)

[deets]

euro2008 :(

what most newbies should do, like i did, find a nice short demo test clip and use that to test out the gui settings. something about 10 mins long and then you can just try the CQ modes and such without too much hassle to find something your looking for. not like there is a lot in rb264 that needs to be worried about, thats kinda its point (i think!) :D

[Ajax_Undone]

I have no time for that. Real job + RipBot264 + EURO2008 + GTAIV ... and so on :)

Hey I will Probably Draw one up when I get some free time...

[JPSiemer]

increase buffersize

I told you I cannot increase buffersize or the videos skip while playing back in XBMC...

anyways, i figured out the problem -- my computer just needed a restart and everything worked out great!

thanks for this awesome app...

by the way... did you want to incorporate my Xbox profile in your next release? it works great!

[JPSiemer]

Ok, ran into another problem. I am trying to open a video but I keep getting this error after RipBot264 tries opening the getinfo.avs

"DirectShowSource: RenderFile, the filter graph manager won't talk to me."

What do I do?

[Atak_Snajpera]

You send me source sample or at least you tell me what are you doing exactly.

[JPSiemer]

Source sample is 4 gigs. I am just trying to open a MKV containing a video encoded with H.264... It de-muxes the audio and the subs fine, but after that it opens Media Player Classic and gives me this message.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Still not working for me. I'm using FFDSHOW Rev1980. Should I be using something different?

[JPSiemer]

Well, I just tried the ffdshow_rev1990_20080608_xxl.exe and that didn't work. So I tried the experimental x64 build ( ffdshow_rev1975_20080525_clsid_x64.exe ), and RipBot264 doesn't even recognize it being installed... (I think because it installs to my Codec Package's directory and not the FFDSHOW directory inside of the Program Files folder...)

Either way, I'm guessing this isn't a FFDSHOW problem for me... what other suggestions do you have?

Thanks!

[JPSiemer]

Ok, so I removed my Vista Codec Pack completely and only installed FFDSHOW. Nothing else is installed on my system, but RipBot264 will not open this file! It plays fine on my computer, so why wouldn't RipBot open it???

[deets]

yeah the 64 bit one only works with 64 bit apps, which rb isnt.

if you have a codec pack, full uninstall it.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Ok, so I removed my Vista Codec Pack completely and only installed FFDSHOW. Nothing else is installed on my system, but RipBot264 will not open this file! It plays fine on my computer, so why wouldn't RipBot open it???

You should have 3 things installed on system: AviSynth 2.5.7 , Haalli media splitter , FFDshow . Nothing more! Vista Codec pack lol :) Codec pack generation :) remember. Less is sometimes better :)

[JPSiemer]

Ok, cool... I removed every codec from my computer, reinstalled the Haali Media Splitter and the newest FFDShow (updated today) and everything worked out! It must have been an issue with the Haali Media Splitter that came with the codec pack... Thanks a lot for all the input!

This might be a sticky, since I'm sure there are a lot of other users out there using K-Lite and the CCCP codec packs, and this might be not the best options for them...

[krosswindz]

This seems to be n00b question. I just installed ffdshow_rev1990_20080608_xxl and Haali media splitter.

I get the following error when I try to use ripbot264. It opens mpc and the error in mpc

DirectShowSource: couldn't open file D:\temp\sample\sample.m2ts: media type of this file is not recognized


any help on getting this to work would be appreciated.

[JPSiemer]

Sorry for posting so many times, but just wanted to report back that after 2 more encodes everything seems to be working! However, I think I could squeeze a little more quality out of my files if I were able to turn off the Turbo 1st Pass you are forcing us to use. I know I asked this before, but I never got a reply... is there any way I can manually turn this off? I know I shouldn't be editing the commandline generated by the app, but I really need this turned off!

Oh, and can anyone tell me what the "--nf" setting does. I know MeGUI adds it to the commandline when "Deblocking" is turned off. It seems that if you turn off Deblocking in Handbrake, it really doesn't turn off Deblocking, but it just keeps it at a setting of 0,0... So the only way to get around this is forcing --nf in the options box. Now, I would love to know how RipBot264 is handling this option, because it doesn't seem like it is turning off Deblocking at all, but also just keeping it at 0,0. So is there any way I can force using the --nf setting? -- Of course, without editing the commandline generated by the app!

It would be awesome to be able to do these two things, because to encode for the Xbox you need just a little more control in order to get a "skipless" file. Files skip like crazy when Deblocking is set at 0,0. You can tell by what MediaInfo tells you about the file... files that play fine have "deblock=0:0:0", files that don't work have "deblock=1:0:0". It would even be nice to be able to know what MediaInfo has to say about files encoded with RipBot264, but it doesn't generate the same results...

And actually, that brings me to my last question... how come I can see my "Encoding Settings" of all my other videos encoded with other applications, but I cannot see the Encoding Settings of anything generated by RipBot? I really would like this option so I could "debug" my encodes and find out what settings are making the file skip, and what settings are not.

I know all of this may be asking too much, but I just really love this app and how easy it is to use! I was able to teach my girlfriend in like ten minutes, and I have never been able to fully get her to understand MeGUI. So I'm not asking you to overcomplicate your app, and I'm not telling you what to put in your app, but as a user, I think just adding this little extra functionality I have mentioned would add SO MUCH to an already awesome app! If its too much, that's cool -- just point me in the right direction that works as good as this one! I mean, seriously... I'm a newb and I can't get MeGUI to load anything but DVD's without crashing, but this app literally takes anything I throw at it like a champ!

Is there any significant quality advantage of doing a 2-Pass encoding? On my dual core computer second pass process is around 3 frame per second

[Ajax_Undone]

This seems to be n00b question. I just installed ffdshow_rev1990_20080608_xxl and Haali media splitter.


Try this version of FFDshow (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ffdshow-tryout/ffdshow_rev1980_20080602_clsid.exe?modtime=1212422693&big_mirror=0)

Are you looking for Quality or File Size...

[JPSiemer]

If you are trying to reach a specific bitrate without going over or under, then I think a 2-Pass is a must. And I might be wrong, but I personally feel like videos encoded without a Turbo 1st Pass look a lot better. I'm not worried about the encode time, I'm worried about the overall integrity of my videos in the future...

[krosswindz]

[krosswindz]

I tried playing the file using mpc and i get the error "couldn't render file". I am able to play the file using KMplayer.

[JPSiemer]

Krosswindz, try uninstalling every single codec on your system and then only installing Haali Media Splitter and FFDShow. You can also install Xvid and a couple other ones without problems. I had a similar problem and this seemed to work for me...

Krosswindz, try uninstalling every single codec on your system and then only installing Haali Media Splitter and FFDShow. You can also install Xvid and a couple other ones without problems. I had a similar problem and this seemed to work for me...

At the moment I only have Haali Media splitter and ffdshow installed and no other codec packs installed.

[Wishbringer]

Did you set ffdshow as default decoder for h264, ac3, dts etc. while installation?
Sometimes boxes aren't marked while setup, maybe because deselected in earlier installations or by other programs (coreavc).

[binh25]

Are you looking for Quality or File Size...

A bit of both ...

You should open m2ts directly not via avisynth script.

You won't notice difference in quality.

Believe me you are not first person who has problems with shity codec packs. Unfortunately some users use them like crazy. K-Lite shit + CCCP + Vista codec shit = total havok in os

Just because DirectShowSource can't render a file doesn't mean there is a bug in a codec pack, there could be many other reasons.

This is the error I get when I select the source in ripbot264's add job window where it is trying to gather information.

[Discoboy]

Does anyone know how to disable the 4gb split for the Blu ray profile so as to make just the one .mts file when using the DVD-9 file size lock function?

:thanks:

[JPSiemer]

You won't notice difference in quality.

Yes, you are right... you won't *notice* a difference, but there is a difference in quality. Check out Handbrake's manual... "If taking twice as long doesn't sound like a good idea to you, look towards the Turbo checkbox. By enabling this, when encoding 2-pass with x264, you can cut down the time of the first pass by 50%-75%. There will be a drop in quality, but so slight as to be imperceptible to the eye."

Either way, after a couple of tests with Handbrake I think I see less artifacting with two full passes... On a 50 inch HDTV I see every imperfection of the video, so quality is the number one factor for me... so please do not alienate your users by ignoring a very important feature of encoding!

[deets]

im just a fellow user, but personally, if this much tweaking is needed, maybe megui would be a better choice? you can max out the settings using the insane profile and get every teeny increase possible.

[JPSiemer]

Haha, well the tweaking MeGUI's insane profile would give me a video that I cannot use on the Xbox. I can encode an Xbox-compatible file with MeGUI just fine, but that isn't the point. The point is that MeGUI cannot handle all the files I throw at it -- RipBot264 can. It's the only program that I have successfully gotten to work with any file I import. If MeGUI was updated so that it didn't crash when I imported these files then I wouldn't be asking.

Anyways, its not like these two features are changing the program in any way. In fact, the "--nf" setting should be enabled if you don't want deblocking. And in my experience, deblocking is a huge reason why slower processors skip the playback of H.264 files. Also, files encoded with deblocking look worse when the decoder is set to disable deblocking, while files encoded with no deblocking do not lose quality when deblocking is disabled. (Check out this thread for an example: http://xbmc.org/forum/showpost.php?p=120936&postcount=28)

Bottom line is, it's almost a must-have feature when encoding specifically for consoles that don't neccessary have the processing power that a computer might have...

And well, the turbo pass thing... that is just a user preference -- not neccessarily the end of the world if I don't have it, but I definitely am noticing a difference between two encodes upscaled from SD to 720P on my TV -- one with turbo 1st pass and one without. The one without wins everytime, no matter what settings...

So please consider the facts before dismissing that these features aren't "neccessary"...

[jamd1]

Where can I find this "Handbrake's manual" - looked and did search for whole forum - only result was this thread here. Thx for any help.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I want to see screenshots with turbo and without turbo.

MeGUI and probably HandBrake use --subme 1 but after reading a little bit I decided to use --subme 2 and belive me this makes big difference.

i'm not able to import videos encoded using ipod profile to my ipod..

what gives?

bug? using autocrop and resizing still adds borders for mkv/mp4, why???

easily rectified by removing the addborders() line tho but still.

[JPSiemer]

jamd1, it's not a called the "Handbrake Manual", but they have their own wiki with lots of really good info... the particular thing I was referencing is located at: http://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/AvgBitrateAndTargetSize ... you will find links for the rest of the wiki from that site...

[binh25]

I'm a bit of a newbie in this encoding stuff
is there a manual some where that explain some of the options in ripbot stuff like CQ crf and what it actually doing

I just encoding a video using 2pass but I like to know what other options actually do and have a bit of play and try tinker with it a little and see if there are difference in quality/size etc..

:thanks:

[JPSiemer]

Atak, I think you are missing the point about the Turbo 1st Pass. This is a major feature of the POWERFUL x264 encoders, and RipBot264 is a POWERFUL x264 encoder, so why not have it as a feature? It's not like you would make it a default setting, you just would give the user the option to choose. And as a user, I like both my passes to have a motion estimation of 7 -- even if that means a 4 hour encode. Anyways, I don't have screenshots at the moment because I delete all my bad test encodes, but I will make one for you...

As for the -6 , -6 deblocking... this wouldn't work because it would produce a file with deblock=1:-6:-6. The Xbox is only compatible with deblock=0:0:0. The only way around this is turning off deblocking with the "--nf" setting, which I can't do because editing the commandline generated by the app screws up the whole encode!

No there isn't yet I was going to devote some time this next week end and make a pretty HTML one...

Do to the fact that some people are noobs and need a little pointer here and there...

[JPSiemer]

binh25, this isn't a guide for RipBot264, but seeing as RipBot has the same options and features you can use this as a great reference for encoding video using RipBot...

http://gabextreme.googlepages.com/DeathTheSheep_x264_VfW_guide.html

It's a guide by DeathTheSheep and he does an awesome job at breaking down all the options and the terms for newbs. Specifically, there are two huge sections in there about CQ CRF and Multipass encoding...

To quote a couple things...

"I recommend multipass mode for all of encodes you wish to reach a certain filesize. That's right, if you require your final filesize to be exactly 170.00MB, for instance, you're going to have to do a 2- or 3-pass encode. 1-pass mode is strictly for those who are severely short of time or do not expect to attain high-quality output. 2 passes tends to be sufficient for most people's needs, producing high-quality files with accurate filesizes.

binh25, this isn't a guide for RipBot264, but seeing as RipBot has the same options and features you can use this as a great reference for encoding video using RipBot...

http://gabextreme.googlepages.com/DeathTheSheep_x264_VfW_guide.html

It's a guide by DeathTheSheep and he does an awesome job at breaking down all the options and the terms for newbs. Specifically, there are two huge sections in there about CQ CRF and Multipass encoding...

To quote a couple things...

"I recommend multipass mode for all of encodes you wish to reach a certain filesize. That's right, if you require your final filesize to be exactly 170.00MB, for instance, you're going to have to do a 2- or 3-pass encode. 1-pass mode is strictly for those who are severely short of time or do not expect to attain high-quality output. 2 passes tends to be sufficient for most people's needs, producing high-quality files with accurate filesizes. However, single-pass mode is sometimes used to produce constant quality output."

"For people interested in doing 3 passes for optimal quality, consider the use of the “fast” first pass. For 2-pass encodes, I suggest use of the standard first pass mode. The quality of encodes using fast over standard first pass does not decrease to any catastrophic degree by most standards, but I nevertheless recommend using the standard mode for 2-pass encodes to ensure optimal quality for the largest variety of videos and encoding situations." -- A "standard" 2-Pass encode is one that does not throttle the first pass!

Useful info - I've done about 30 blurays but still consider myself a newbie. All these guides are very helpful. I often wonder on the need for multiple passes. I know some people would frown on this - but if I am pushed for time I use ripbot to just do the first of a 2 pass encode and burn this to an AVCHD dvd. On a 42 inch HD tv it looks pretty good and far better than a standard DVD. Some people may not mind tying up their PC for 20 hours. But to me there are few movies worth this time. For example running the first pass only (on a 2 pass setting) on a 2hr movie at 1080p locking filesize to a DVD9 produces a better result than 2 passes at 720p locking filesize to a DVD5. On my system the 1 pass 1080 encode takes about 5 hours - whereas the full 2 pass 720 encode takes about 10 hours.
You have to be selective on the type of movie when doing this though. If there are lots of dark scenes it can sometimes be blocky - light ,colourful and Cartoon/CGI movies turn out ok . Either way the result is still way better than watching an ordinary DVD.
I've looked at the CQ 1 pass method but this does take considerably longer and also is no good if you want to fit the movie on a DVD5/9.
Any feedback on the pros and cons of this method much appreciated.

[JPSiemer]

For me, a full 2-pass of a 720P movie and converting it down to standard definition 720x480 only takes less than 4 hours and looks way better than DVD rips on popular torrent sites. In fact, it looks just as good as the DVD. With the faster 1st pass, it takes about an hour and a half but has noticeable blocking in the gradients and in darker scenes.

I do not have experience creating AVCHD DVD's, but I would imagine it would take my system about double the time to do the same jobs -- which works for me! I work for a video production studio and we are constantly digitizing, encoding, editing, etc... so I know that working with video can take a lot of time, but it is best to do it right the first time so you don't have to redo it for the client in the future.

[myksto]

I'm using the latest version 1.98.
I've been using this tool for a while and I'm wondering about a thing:
I usually set the 2 pass encoding and look the file size increasing; for example I have a movie now that will be 7844 Mbytes with a bitrate of 6450kbps at a resolution of 1920x1080. If I set the resize to 1280x720 at the same bitrate of 6450kbps I should have a file smaller than before, am I right? So why the gui always tells me it's the same file size? Even thought I set the resolution at 380x180 the result never change. How can I have a realistic value of the file size whenever I change the resolution?
Do I have to edit some avs file or something else?

Hope you can help.

Thanks a lot.

Bye.

[Atak_Snajpera]

You are completely wrong! 6450kbps=806 KB/s
Multiply that by duration. Let' say 7200 seconds (120min) and you always get the same File Size. It doesn't matter if you choose lower or higher resolution. Bit-rate decides about everything!

[JPSiemer]

So Atak, do you see the advantage now? It makes a lot of sense when put into perspective from another person. So are you going to consider putting those requested features in?

I can't undestand actually. I have a bd to rip, I first encode it at 1920x1080 and then at 1280x720 but I want the same good quality for both: I should use the same bitrate for both? How could the high res movie be as good as the lower if I get the same file size? I think that a higher res movie needs more bitrate and then will be larger. Where am I mistaking?
Thanks, bye.

[ebucha]

I have another quick feature question. Do you plan to add additional options to the Output speed list? Entries for ConvertFPS to go along with the AssumeFPS ones would be great for increasing quality/compression on low motion content. Thanks, ebucha.

Use CQ for both not Bitrate unless you are looking for a specific file size... CQ 22 Should work out great...

Hi Atak_Snajpera is there any reason in particular Why you changed the vbv buffer size & vbv max bitrate for the bluray profile from 14000/25000 to 30000/30000 ? will the higher settings still be ok for avchd because i have read too high a setting can cause avchd discs to become jerky during playback.

thanks

Higher buffersize helps to avoid that issue

Working on them, but I was specifically referencing the quote that DeathTheSheep said about having to turn off deblocking for Xbox to work. Why do you have to argue with me about this? What I'm telling you is the truth and it has been proven over and over again, so how come you keep ignoring my simple request? It would take you ten minutes to write the code into the app. I'll even donate to your cause, just please give us Xbox users this feature!

I encodes a video over the weekend and it took like 25+ hour to complete at 90-100% CPU utilization.

I have a core 2 duo Intel 2.1G running on Windows XP

I use standard 2 pass with AC3 sound 448kbs with both 4.3G in file size and 8.6Gig file size.

is this normal?

also my MKV play back constantly use above 60% CPU with peak 80-100% to play back video.. Other HD MKV I got doesn't use any where near that sort of CPU. around 20% - 40%

Any tips I can speed thing up a little.?

I am going out on a limb and am going to say your wanting to know how long it will take for your (2.1 corel duo) *Core 2 Duo @ 2.1GHZ* to (codify) *encode* that 1260x688 film...

And the answer is! *no one can tell you* It depends on your system configuration... In essence its a variable that no one likes but they have to deal with...

Thank you for the educational answer, if I am not mistaken a computer processor mark clearly the ability to process, my problem is the same as that of a top post, it takes in 22 to 25 hours and it seems to me excessive.
We recommend that if you do not understand the logic of questions remain in limbo and not respond.

[Atak_Snajpera]

You have to use 2-pass because crf does care about buffer size or maximum bitrate. At the moment only 2-pass work well with max bitrate.

[vwpassion]

Great program, been using it a while now.

I need to make a request. As I'm using 2 audio tracks often times in my encodings, I was wondering if you could add the option of adding another audio track to the gui?

Thanks a lot!

Yes the processor does have the specs marked on the box but that's only 1 in a chain of 100 Billion reasons why it would be going slow...

Who are "WE" anyhow... The point being made is if You want the video encoded it will take time on a slower system period.

You speak of logic though your initial question has none.:confused: besides that my answer is as logical as it gets ask anyone...

No one can tell you how long its going to take or why... It is truly a variable that goes up and down dependently...

At your level of questioning everything comes into play...

The System:
Operating system, Software, fragmentation of the disks, disk seek speed, ram latency, ram frequency, Processor cash load, size of cash, math processor frequency, ram controller frequency, Processor frequency, how many cores, hard drive cache size, how much ram is used, Hard drive cashing, How much ram you have,

The video:
Size, fps, darc matter, Mbps/kbps, type, progressive or interlaced, sound quality, output size, output fps, output mode (ie CQ crf or Bitrate), ect... the list goes on...

Everything comes into play...

Seriously how do you solve for the Numeral variable X in the equation X+Z=P. X could be anything from -9^ to 9^...

Impossible to tell...:rolleyes:

There is no definitive answer to your illogical question. So to that I will say this. You will forever remain in limbo until you realize that there is no answer to a variable with out and end in site...

Now please try to understand we all want it to work just as fast as possible... Sometimes it does and sometimes not...

The best I can tell you is kill all un-nessarry processes in the background clear *your system tray of all icons related to software you have installed* (Except antivirus). Uninstall all codec packs and only install the packages in the installer Provided in my signature. defrag your hard drive clean out any un-nessasery files. And from there you might see a change...

Atak-

Thank you very much for an excellent program.

I'm having problems with certain BD disc output streams from TSmuxer. If I open m2ts stream (from TSmuxer) on some movies, I get a very low count of frames and a low duration. (H:M:S)

Say the movie is 2 hours, and I get a duration of 9-15 minutes and a low number of frames.

Do you have any idea what is wrong?

Thanks!

[Atak_Snajpera]

1) Demux audio in TSMuxer
2) Import m2ts in ripbot
3) Import Audio in ripbot
4) Disable A/v Same length (OFF)

[JPSiemer]

Atak, can you PLEASE add the ability to remove deblocking with the --nf setting?!?! I'm experiencing major stutter with my encodes when playing back on the Xbox. If you don't feel like making it a GUI setting, at least let me add the setting manually to the profile INI's.

Thanks!

Hi.
I have an Intel Core 2 Duo E6700.
I used it to encode a movie whose duration is 2h 34m.
I set the 2 pass encode and the HD.Bluray.Consoles profile.
Resolution 1920x1080.

Is it normal that it took almost 24 hours to complete the process?

The first pass was more quick but the second one was very longer.

I'm not an expert in encoding and x.264 is a new planet for me. Would you be so kind to tell me, or explain or link me to a page where I can understand which parameters slow down the process, improve quality and so on and so forth?

I usually watch my movie by my ps3 so I would like to know wich parameters are to be set to encode a ps3 compatible movie and why.

Hope not to have asked too much... :)

Thanks a lot.

[jmone]

Nice app but I'd like to check if it is possible now (or in the near future) to convert the Audio track from DD+ / DTS to (L)PCM. I want to preserve the quality and have a format that can be played my most devices (I don't care about the extra disk space).
Thanks
Nathan

I'll give that a shot tonight.

Would it be possible to allow Ripbot to accecpt .264 files? (Since this is the video output of TsMuxer in demux mode)

Thanks again for this great software and support!

[Wishbringer]

... duration is 2h 34m... HD.Bluray.Consoles profile... took almost 24 hours to complete the process

Should be normal!
On my Quad at 3.2GHz it took around 5 hours to encode around 90mins:
24h/(2h34m/90m)/(3.2GHz/2.66GHz)/(4cores/2cores)=5h50m

The first pass was more quick but the second one was very longer.

1st pass is "only" an analyzing pass, in the 2nd the "real" encoding is done, so it needs more time.

... which parameters slow down the process, improve quality ...

RDO and multihex take most time, but give better results, and they are used in RipBot to give a decent quality of encodes.

... wich parameters are to be set to encode a ps3 compatible movie and why.

Why? Ask Sony! (It's a feature) :) They decided to set restrictions in playback to Level4.1, no b-pyramid, ref-frames, bframes and so on.
Look into profile in RipBot.
You can lower settings like RDO and multihex to increase speed, or set RDO2, exhausive to increase quality and encoding time.
All other settings you can lower, but shouldn't increase because of compatiblity.

My advice: leave settings as is, start encode in the evening, watch tv, go to bed, go to work, play with your girlfriend and then look if encode is finished.
2nd advice: overclock or buy better cpu

[wakebrder]

1) Demux audio in TSMuxer
2) Import m2ts in ripbot
3) Import Audio in ripbot
4) Disable A/v Same length (OFF)

Tried that.
I still get wrong number of frames in video section. Audio is correct.

If I mux the .264 video portion with TsMuxer, and output as .m2ts, then try to import video only with ripbot, I get this Script error:There is no function named "ugin"(C:\Temp\Ripbot264temp\getinfo.avs,line 1)

Ok but settings in profiles are for both first and second pass?

I only wanted some explainations about the encoding process. I know that I could buy more powerfull cpu. I'm not used to overclock instead. :)

Thanks, bye.

[Wishbringer]

settings in profiles are for both first and second pass?
First pass is done at lowest possible settings (nearly), profile is for 2nd pass

I only asked for some more information.
My "why" belongs to "which parameters to be compatible and why?".
Parameters are resticted by AVC Level. PS3 uses Level 4.1 and has some other restrictions. We tested them by trial and error encodes. We don't know, why PS3 has them.
Best advise was to look into profile(s) of RipBot or maybe MeGUI. In AVC forum was a very long thread how to encode PS3 movies.

I only wanted some explainations about the encoding process. I know that I could buy more powerfull cpu. I'm not used to overclock instead. :)

x264 is a very powerfull codec, but a very complex too. Compared to xvid and mpeg2 it is slow.
Look at the x264 forum (mpeg4 avc).
There are several threads about settings and benefits.

Atak_Snajpera made this tool to get high quality encodes for some platforms.
If you want to experiment with x264 settings, it would be better to use MeGUI. :)

[smackbadger]

Hi Atak,

Any chance you're going to add Anamorphic control to Ripbot264 at some point?

I know I can set it to resize to 640x360 to get a 16:9 aspect from my 720x480 anamorphic source, but then I'm losing quite a bit of vertical resolution and on my 55" screen that's not a good thing. I could just adjust the aspect ratio later in the player, but that's a pain that would be unnecessary if Ripbot could set the flags properly for 720x480 anamorphic material.

I've been using staxrip instead, since it supports anamorphic, but I prefer the simplicity of the Ripbot interface.

-John

[Atak_Snajpera]

I still get wrong number of frames in video section. Audio is correct.
Solution 1: Create script

DirectShowSource("your_problematic.m2ts")

Open that script in ripbot264

Solution 2: Remux your_problematic.m2ts in eac3to to mkv

[wakebrder]

Solution 2: Remux your_problematic.m2ts in eac3to to mkv

I haven't encoded yet, but that seemed to do the trick! H:M:S duration is now equal for video/audio.

Why does this happen on some movies and not others? Is TsMuxer producing corrupt .m2ts files? AutoMKV & Staxrip also had problems with this particular file.

Thanks again for your help!

why do i get the feeling a lot of people want ripbot264 to turn into another megui! simplicity is the key, i thought. anyway after last nights footy, dont expect much today ;) was a penalty though....

1:45:48 1080 + 598,731,966 768DTS = 8,536,418,304

720 = 4480 target
1080 = 8150 target
DTS = 1536 DTS

good news is 768 DTS is calculating nicely, bad news is 1536 DTS is roughly 30-40 MB oversized.

Also I've ran into an issue on windows server 2003. If it's not an administrator account ripbot264 doesn't detect avisynth and haali even though they are installed and are working. Could there possibly be a way to bypass that check through the .ini?

Another thing is would it be possible to add an entry to the ini where if ripbot264 is closed it doesnt automatically kill all x264 processes?

Thanks for the efforts so far.

[JPSiemer]

why do i get the feeling a lot of people want ripbot264 to turn into another megui! simplicity is the key, i thought. anyway after last nights footy, dont expect much today ;) was a penalty though....

Nobody wants to oversimplify the UI. We just are telling the author what features the users want! I don't see how anything that has been requested would complicate the UI in any way...

I, for one, cannot use RipBot anymore until there is an ability to turn off deblocking! :mad: CABAC and Deblocking are the two most CPU intensive features of the codec -- CABAC works fine on Xbox, but Deblocking stutters like crazy (even on -6,-6).

It makes me mad because I love this program and it would take Atak ten minutes to add this feature. I'm not sure why this isn't even on there anyways, because a lot of iPhone users are encoding without deblocking as well...

[8ternity]

HI,

Could somebody help me with my trouble please in ripbot264.

I have a soft trouble while convert blu-ray movies to Blu-Ray AVCHD DVD9. I have a trouble with all mouvements, like the picture move with a little sacades. When somebody moves, like he move not natturally.

I would like to know if it's an setting to change or something like that. If i read the m2ts from the blu-ray before the conversion, everything is good.

Could somebody can help me with that please?

Sorry for my english and thanks for your work with ripbot264. Super software!

Another question, did they have a way with ripbot264 to add a second language AC3 channel? In the software they read 2, but when conversion done, only one language.

Thanks a lot !

[Ajax_Undone]

digg it if you like it
http://digg.com/software/RipBot264_One_of_the_best_x_264_Encoders_on_the_net

Ha! I posted that almost 3 months ago...

Awesome 4 diggs lol

That Digg was only to get people to notice that it existed not to make people want it to become another MeGui...

I feel every app has its place and my own belief is that if you can add a feature that makes it work better with out complicating the app as Atak has feel free to add it in.

Its a great utility small compact not complicated and very easy for the most novice as stated in that digg...

If you don't know what a particular feature does then ask. I am sure there are over a hundred people here who can help you figure it out and also help you get the best out of using it...

Just because it is there does not mean you have to use it...

[JPSiemer]

I feel every app has its place and my own belief is that if you can add a feature that makes it work better with out complicating the app as Atak has feel free to add it in.

So, Ajax, what do you think about adding the ability to turn off Deblocking? I mean, this would not complicate the app by adding a simple checkbox!

[Ajax_Undone]

I think it could add some stability as you have stated for xbox and I-phones but for those I usually use Megui...

[JPSiemer]

Ajax, I would use MeGUI (or Handbrake), but it crashes when loading anything but DVD sources. RipBot does not. 80% of my sources are non-DVD. Therefore, at the moment I cannot rip 80% of my sources (yet). Any idea what I could do to get this to work? This is pretty much the only thing holding me back from switching to RipBot permenantly...

[JPSiemer]

Also, can you guys tell me why you cannot view the encoding details through MediaInfo of any RipBot encodes?

Nevermind, fixed problem with MeGUI crashing. Aparently if you have Office 2007, you need to uninstall Groove or else MeGUI will crash when loading anything other than d2v sources into the AviSynth Script Creator. Found the solution @ http://forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-125121.html

Well, I guess I do not need RipBot264 anymore!!! See you guys later...

I'm pretty sure they know about it, but they probably aren't going to fix it because it might be an error with Groove rather than an error with MeGUI. Plus, it's pointless to request addittions or submit errors because program authors never wanna hear what you want -- they only code what they want...

I'm not sure which bitrate you are looking for but:

OK that's the second bitrate figure.

Doing the King Kong HD DVD.

It demuxed everything into .MKV and .EAC3's files, after demuxing, RIPBOT264 reported "NO AUDIO". I had to manually launch EAC3TO.EXE to converted the DD+ track into AC3 and load the AC3 track into RIPBOT264.

Everything is great afterwards.

Great Job :thanks:

PS: hmm.... I've noticed that the DGIndex option is gone from the ripbot264.ini file, is it intentional?

Take and cut the evo files to a tolerable size (ie 2-3 MB) then archive the entire structure ripped from the disk by anydvd/dvdfab... Upload the archive to www.mediafire.com...

So you don't care the contents of the EVO files but just the directory structures then.

I will get them zip up to you.

PS: what's the best way to cut large files into smaller chunks? Can I just create a new empty file with notepad using the same file name? Is the first few MB's of the EVO's important to you?

Hi guys !

I just updated my old RipBot 1.8.10 to 1.9.10, and whatever the video file I choose, I get the following error message into a MPC windows :
"Script error: there is no function named "ugin" (C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 1)"

The line in question is : "ugin("C:\RipBot264v1.9.10\Tools\AviSynth plugins\FFmpegSource\FFmpegSource.dll")"

I've the lastest versions of ffdshow and avisynth, and no idea where this error could come from !
Any idea ?

[Atak_Snajpera]

It happens when avi,mp4,mkv does not have audio. It is already fixed in new version

[bigggt]

just poppin by to say that i love the app.

only have one problem with it... and i'm sure it's easily fixed...

is there any way that I can have the app autosize the video based on my preferred width?

say if I want all my vids to have the width of 720 or 704, i would like the app to be able to tell me what I should correctly be resizing my height to and still preserving the aspect ratio...

thanks!

Just wondering if this is going to be added :)

But this I am unsure of, he was asking for such a structure two pages back...

Atak-

Really stupid question:

How do I join .EVO files with ripbot?



I don't use ripbot for that, I use EVOdemux instead

New FFDshow (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ffdshow-tryout/ffdshow_rev2020_20080622_clsid.exe?modtime=1214167632&big_mirror=0) For best compatibility you should always keep your version up to date...

[jamd1]

Nice new update - One time delaying drawback - If several audio tracks are present it individually demuxes each track - making a separate pass each time ( old versions of ripbot demuxed all tracks in one pass). This can really slow the setup process down - if possible please change future updates back to old method - or better still allow the selection of audio track to be demuxed at start of adding a new file.

First of all, thanks for the great, great app!

I've been using the latest version and I have some issues with Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3.

I use AnyDVD HD to backup from blue-ray. Then TxMuxer to extract just the main movie and DD/DTS audio track. Then I use RipBot264 to remux to Blue-ray to fit on a Dual Layer DVD.

When I open the m2ts file in RipBot264 it only "sees" part of the movie. For POTC 2 and 3, it sees about half the movie. When I try to remux it, I indeed only see half the movie in the finished Blue-ray m2ts file. Looks like it's picking up the audio fine though...

I was watching a Blue-ray to DVD-9 copy I made of POTC 2 with my wife completely unaware that this had happened and the movie ended 40 minutes in! That's when I discovered what had happened!

Similar thing happened to the movie Shoot 'Em Up. In fact for this movie it only saw about 18 minutes worth...both movie and audio.

I know that the mt2s file TsMuxer generates contains the entire movie because I usually playback the file itself to see if the entire movie is there. It is there in the above cases.

I tried several version of ffdshow to no avail.

Any help would be much appreciated.

And keep up the GREAT work. This is really one awesome app!!!

p.s. Actually I am using v1.9.10 which was the latest version a few days ago! Any chance that upping it to v1.10.x will address this issue?

Cool.

Does my problem sound like a RipBot264 version issue?

The funny thing is for "Shoot 'em Up" I tried to use the older version v1.9.6 and it worked. Newer versions only see 18 minutes of the movie.

Weird!

I run RipBot264 on my QuadCore PC, which is different than the HTPC.

I can tell you that I have CoreAVC codec installed, as well as PowerDVD8.

Wondering if CoreAVC would cause any issues? Probably not right?

Ok - I see why - Then please please can we have an option to select the audio track in ripbot BEFORE all tracks are demuxed. In most blurays there are many tracks and it is pretty easy to select which track you want. Sure I could remux with TSmuxer first - but this often causes problems including OOSync issues. I've just done a bluray that had 6 audio tracks and I had to wait nearly 2 hrs for 6 demux passes before i could start preparing the rip. If not I'll just have to suffer with an older ripbot version. Thx.

Version 1.10.1 work for my mkv.

I have an MKV video wich has been encoded in 1280x544. Now i try many times with ripbot to convert in 1280x720 with no zooming fonction. If i arranged with crop, 176px divided by 2 and crop, i loose from the picture and image are stetched from top and bottom. So i inverse the correct left and right to 88 each, full stretch.

Did can have a way to keep the screen 1280 intact and just adding a black bar to keep full content for conversion. I try AUTO CROP, said Gathering information for long time and not enter a value.

**EDIT**
Last question, did you know if you will offer option to encode with 2 languages tracks in OUTPUT to Blu-ray to have multi-language?

Thanks a lot!

I was using TsMuxer to strip out unwanted audio tracks up to this point so it was quicker however I couldn't do Pirates 2 & 3 using this method so I skipped TsMuxer and let RipBot264 demux the audio itself and like you it took hours. In fact I just left it demuxing overnight and in the morning in was done.

The last time I tried this method, the file size went over what was specified (8150) for some reason and I wasn't able to fit it on a Dual Layer DVD. It finished with a size of about 8.37GB, which of course won't fit on a standard issue Dual Layer DVD disc. My other successful rips finished with a size of 7.95GB.

BTW, I am finishing it as Blue-Ray on DVD9.

So I this time I kicked the job off setting the file size limit to 7500. Hopefully this time it will fit.

Which is the difference between CQ and 2 Pass?

Which is the best adjustment?

Thank you for your assistance

[Ajax_Undone]

Depends on whether you want File size or quality...

CQ (Consistent Quality) Allows you to use a set quality (lower the number Higher quality also Bigger File size)

2Pass allows you to select the Bit rate the video will have (also good to determine exact size)

Anything Under CQ of 22 gives diminishing returns with cost to space and virtually no conceivable gain in Quality...

1) Prepare 2 movies with DTS 1536kbps. One should be short (3600s) and the other should be longer (7200s)

2) Encode 3600s movie and 7200s movie with locked size 4480 and 8150. (720p or 1080p it's up to you)

3) Send me results
3600s with 4480MB -> real size in bytes?
7200s with 4480MB -> real size in bytes?

3600s with 8150MB -> real size in bytes?
7200s with 8150MB -> real size in bytes?

4)

3600s
set size in RipBot -> 4480MB-(real size - 4480) = bitrate calculated in RipBot?
set size in RipBot -> 8150MB-(real size - 8150) = bitrate calculated in RipBot?

7200s
set size in RipBot -> 4480MB-(real size - 4480) = bitrate calculated in RipBot?
set size in RipBot -> 8150MB-(real size - 8150) = bitrate calculated in RipBot?

To make a brilliant program even better, would it be possible to choose audio tracks quickly (as in tsMuxeR) then be able to configure everything and then leave the program to get on with it?

As it is, with a large Blu-ray you have to remember to come back to it after a couple of hours to make your settings.

Even if this is not possible, thanks for a great program which I use every day.

I can't stress enough how having other programs installed might effect Ripbot264. (Staxrip, MeGUI, AutoMKV,etc)

If you're having script errors, I suggest uninstalling EVERYTHING and starting from scratch.

OK, I tried things out over the course of the day yesterday for Pirates 2 after downloading the latest RB264 and ffdshow and also not using TsMuxer as you suggested.

Although RB264 tooks hours to initially demux the audio tracks from the m2ts file, I do however get the full movie now. It reads the entire 2 hours and 48 minutes of Pirates 2.

I kicked the job off then went to work. Came back and tested and about 12 minutes into the movie the audio crapped out on me making all kinds of squeeky sounds.

Upon recalling what I had done in RB264, I think I might have selected the wrong demuxed audio file...the .flac file from the PCM track. Strange thing is the audio is fine for 12 minutes.

Anyways, today, I kicked off the job again using the .ac3 file which has the English track. Hopefully this will give me better results.

The only other thing I noticed is that the first pass says it will take more than 4 hours. Before it used to only take around 1.5 hours.

Also, I managed to get the entire movie recognized in RB264 this way:
1) Demux desired audio track in TsMuxer. (Use demux option)
2) Remux the movie track only in TsMuxer and output as m2ts file.
3) Then open these files up in RB264.

At least right now, this method is actually quicker for me since I don't have to wait for demuxing of each audio track, just the one that I want. I guess it also depends on the original disc.

Thanks for the great work!!!

Another question, if you want. I have an MKV resolution is 1280x544, now if i crop i losse image size because it crop the video. If i want to convert to 1280x720, with the ratio 2.35:1 to keep full resolution quality without loosing resolution WITOUT cropping, to keep all full video. Did you know what i can do for that, with something?

The only one way i found is to cropping, but face are stretched, image from top and bottom has been cropped. If the program can just add black bar on the botton and top for the difference (720-544= 176/2 = 88) ripbot only crop 88px but it goes like zooming the picture. I just want that the program add black bars and keep full 1280 and 544 to 720.

Thanks and keeping good work of that program!

Another method is using eac3to to demux video to .mkv and desired audio track to .ac3, .dts, etc. Then import the separate files into Ripbot.

I think (hope) selecting desired audio track will be enabled in the next version of Ripbot.

This is very close to being a one-click conversion tool for BD & HD-DVD.

Great work Atak!!

I'll look into eac3to.

Oh yes, I agree. RipBot is one AWESOME tool!

Hi Atak,

I am having the same problem too with iTunes now with Ripbot 1.10.1. Prior versions, eg. 1.9.10 works fine with iTunes. The -mpeg4 flag is still in there, so the problem is probably somewhere else. I have tried encoding the audio.aac manually using Quicktime prior to muxing it but that doesn't help this time.

Quicktime is showing error -2010 but iTunes fails silently on import.

I dont think this is Ripbot Causing the errors with other software as much as it might be FFDshow. Make sure when installing FFDshow that you leave no codecs checked but don't limit its control on the next page of installer... FFDshow is made to replace a lot of existing codecs some of whitch belong to Itunes and WMP...

Because you already have FFDshow installed you can just re install Itunes/Quicktime and it should fix any problems resulting from it...

I try to shrink Starship Troopers Whats wrong?

You are trying to rip directly from the blu-ray media?
You need anyDVD HD for uncrypt the media,
after uncrypted drive, You need to open tsmuxerGUI to select one video and audio tracks, remux in M2TS in your hard drive.

After that, the media is not AACS protected and you can work with the media.

Hello,

Can you guys somehow make a toggle feature for subtitles?

So we can turn on/off subtitles.

Anyone Tried ripboting Wak Hard Bluray Theatrical version? I have tried 3 different versions of ripbot - 1.9.4 - 1.9.6 and 1.10.1. All produce a movie gradually going out of sync. The movie has true sound and on the disc and is split into 40 .m2ts parts. The remuxed parts into one play perfectly insync on my HDD using Nero 8- but all ripbotted versions start off ok but are about 1 sec out by the end of the movie. I have run the joined .m2ts file though Convertx to make an ordinary dvd and this is insync ok. Any suggestions before I abort. Thx for any help.

Remove chapter.txt from Job1 folder

Hi Atak,

It doesn't seem like the chaptering is the problem. The chapter.txt file does not appear in the jobs folder at all.

I have also tried this with the latest 1.10.2 with the same results: the file cannot be important by iTunes and Quicktime gives error -2010.

Please let me know if there is anything else you would like me to try. Thanks!

[jamd1]

Thx for the update. Just checked with a sample file and new version doesn't give an audio stream demux choice on an m2ts file. Does the file have to be in the bluray directory structure to do this? If so pls can you change to allow demux choice directly from a .m2ts file. ( When using ripbot in bluray structure it demuxes the video into an mkv as well as demuxing audio - apart from being time consuming it also takes up massive disk space sometimes not available.) Thx for your hard work on this.

Also ripbot error " cannot open RipBot264v1.10.2\Tools\MediaInfo\dts.bmp " .
File is there but cannot be read for some reason????

[Atak_Snajpera]

Set 1 ref frame or (and) lower Level to 1.3

Ok, have tried that on 1.10.2. Used 3.0 iPhone profile and modified Level to [1.3] and set ref frame to 1.

Unfortunately, Quicktime still gives the same error -2010: The movie contains some invalid data. ITunes still refuses to import it. Very finicky...

VLC and FFDShow plays the file fine like always.

[crewde]

how come you do not answer my question? want to know when you allow us to turn deblocking off. thanks

[turbojet]

OK here's what I got, I did all the encoding using ripbot 1.9.6

Format: target resolution 1.9.6 calc \ 1.10.1 calc \ "actual average reported by avinaptic" = "1.9.6 filesize in bytes" ("1.9.6 filesize in MB" \ "1.10.1 filesize in MB")

60 MINUTES - 86311 frames at 23.976 - 679029880 DTS
4480 720: 8304\8344\8307 kbps = 4703207424 B (4485\4502 MB) should be 8293 kbps
8150 1080: 16500\16540\16504 kbps = 8552398848 B (8156\8173 MB) should be 16493 kbps

120 MINUTES - 172626 frames at 23.976 - 1358089940 DTS
4480 720: 3302\3343\3305 kbps = 4709584896 B (4491\4527 MB) should be 3289 kbps
8150 1080: 7399\7439\7396 kbps = 8552269824 B (8156\8191 MB) should be 7389 kbps

120minute 4480 720 looks strange compared to the other results, I double checked it to be sure.

[8ternity]

File must be in blu-ray structure. There is also reason why I did this but I have no time for explanations right now.

I guess you do it this way because the playlist will specify what each audio track is- making for less confusion amongst users who are unsure which track to use. However it would still be much more flexible to allow choosing straight from a .m2ts file. I rarely have the disk space to allow ripbot to demux the video stream as well.(It also defeats the purpose of saving time because of the extra video stream demux when adding bluray structure to ripbot).
I never rip the whole bluray to hdd - only the movie - again saving time and space.
If you could add audio choice direct from .m2ts files in next update it would be much appreciated. Thx again.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I rarely have the disk space to allow ripbot to demux the video stream as well
If .m2ts file is outside structure video is not remuxed to mkv. Video will just be indexed by DGAVCDec and then audio will be demuxed/converted by eac3to.

I guess you do it this way because the playlist will specify what each audio track is- making for less confusion amongst users who are unsure which track to use.
If .m2ts does not belong to structure then I assume that .m2ts comes from AVCHD camcorder (AVC+single AC3). Therefore I use different method without showing that window.

OK I see - but can you change your assumtions in next release. It would be nice to have the audio demux choice without having to put the .m2ts file into ripbot via a bluray structure. Thx.

[leemjas]

let us say I have 4.7 GB mkv file; in order to play on the PS3 i need to add borders using the addborders command. I picked CQ-22 using blu ray output after finishing the file was reduced to 2.9 GB (The file plays fine but the bitrate was reduced).

My question is that if I wanted to only add borders without changing the bitrate or Quality of the original file what is the best way in Acheivng this?

Thanks ..

[~bT~]

Use 2 pass encode and lock size to 4480.

[~bT~]

Problem solved

what was the problem?

[~bT~]

Hmm, is there a way to crop and add borders? I have a movie that's not vertically centered; and I'd like to crop the uneven borders, than re-add new, equal-size borders.

use auto crop then resize.

[leemjas]

Use 2 pass encode and lock size to 4480.

Does this mean that using 2 pass encode and locking file size to 4480 gives better quality than using CQ-22 on a 5 GB mkv?

[~bT~]

^ bitrate will fluctuate but will fit dvd5.
or u could use a lower cq.

[leemjas]

I can play AVCHD off an external harddisk; but is there any way I can copy it to the internal harddisk on the PS3 while remaining in the AVCHD format?

[~bT~]

^ doesnt the internal hdd have a 4gb limit?

[bigggt]

^ No 4gb limit

[Sarreq Teryx]

as of this version (I don't know about 1.9.9 or 1.10.1 though, I didn't have opportunity to test them), if I turn on any filtering in the properties dialog box, nothing is able to encode. it goes through normalizing, encoding audio, pass1, pass2 and muxing in less than 5 seconds, obviously with no output

sample here (http://www.mediafire.com/?r3mlziciwxq)

^ doesnt the internal hdd have a 4gb limit?only if you're using FAT32

Thanks Atak. Will this be fixed in the future release?

[benedicto]

Thank you for this nice and easy to use tool for a newbie like me! It serves my purpose of preserving harddisk space. I tried successfully shrinking a 24G m2ts down to 3.6G mkv, keeping all program defaults except changing the size from 1080p to 720p and muxing in an English subtitle which I demux with tsmuxer and converted from sup to srt using suprip. The resultant mkv still maintains good picture quality and both the audio and subitle are perfectly sync.

I have one newbie question (please don't laugh): What is CRF? By changing its value 18-20-22-24-26 can I arrive at a size of mkv something more close to 4.7G so that I can get the best PQ possible to fit into one dvdr? If so, is there a way to caluclate?

[Atak_Snajpera]

use 2-pass and lock size at 4480

[hdpete]

Hi Atak, still unable to save the amended ini Temp file details on either of my PC's and I tried a fresh install.

Perhaps you would consider setting the Temp to Auto setting in new updates. I would imagine that most RipBot264 users don't have enough space on their C drives to accomodate large HD video editing in the temp folder.

Thanks again for your time and help.

Problem now solved - saved amended ini file to desktop, deleted old ini file from install folder and cut & pasted the desktop saved ini to the install folder. Got there in the end!

3 hour movie which gave with 1.10.2 an oversize of 36 MB now has free space of around 6 MB on a DVD9.

Great, thanks :)

[hdpete]

i'm using v1.10.3 with no codec pack, just the software included in Ajax_Undone's installer and I'm having a problem with the audio on blu-ray shrinks to either MKV or Blu-Ray. For the last 3 or 4 versions of RipBot264, the resulting audio has been too loud and distorted when played back via SPDIF to my Pioneer amp. In RipBot settings I always choose 'COPY STREAM'. The original Blu-Ray audio plays back fine through my SPDIF connection on my PC.

Please can anyone give me some advice on what the problem might be. Thanks

No problem with DTS-HD audio, just AC3.

Hi

Im trying to do a 2pass conversion using ripbot264 (console profile) and i have all the software installed and configured. I start the conversion and it seems to do the first pass fine but then just says "job done". When ive checked the log it says "i/o error at the bottom".
with no file created

Anyone any ideas?

Ive just realised that when i select my vob or avs file the two pass option dissapears... and i get some frame options instead.. is this normal? How do i set one pass/two pass

[Ajax_Undone]

What device are you trying to write to. I/O is usually a disk device...

Ripbot does not write to laser media (ie CD/DVD/BDR) only hard drives...

[womble2]

Hi

since "v1.10.2
Added: From now on user can specify which Audio,video stream wants to demux from Blu-Ray and HD-DVD structure"

I always get an error after Ripbot demuxed a video file:


No compatible ACM codec to decode 0x0055 audio strem to PCM.
(C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)


As far as I know now is that it might be a problem with mp3.
But I have no solution found yet.
And the "funny" part is, that earlier ripbot version convert the file without problems :(


Has anybody help for me ?


Thanks in advance

For now, I have gone back to 1.9.x, and manually load the audio stream.

I am in the process or uploading the structures to you. Will post links once they are on the server.

Question: I run RipBot264 after installing prerequisite programs and it keeps telling me FFDSHOW is not installed. I installed FFDSHOW-TRYOUTS (the latest December build), rebooted computer, etc. still a no-go. When I play back an XVID or x264 file in windows media player, FFDSHOW video and audio tray icons are there, and I'm able to tweak settings and everything so ffdshow is clearly installed and working.

Any idea why RipBot264 continues to detect it as "not installed"? Pretty much all defaults were chosen during ffdshow setup wizard, and its installed to C:\Program Files\ffdshow

thanks

[Ajax_Undone]

If you are on a Vista/XP x64 bit system it happens sometimes...

[Rumbah]

I think RipBot wants a pretty new version of ffdshow. The december build is definitely too old.

I think RipBot wants a pretty new version of ffdshow. The december build is definitely too old.

Yeah LoL I missed that! Ok here is the latest CLSID Build of FFDShow (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ffdshow-tryout/ffdshow_prebeta5_rev2031_20080702_clsid.exe?modtime=1215030024&big_mirror=0)... Remember always take the latest from the "SVN builds by clsid"

All I get is this:

Do you have the same problem with samples which you sent me?

Check also what you have in HD-DVD_title_info.txt

[over-killer]

Hey Atak,

I just tried to use your program to compress a mtst file that had 7.1 dts, when it was done demuxing I wanted it to goto blu-ray. It only allowed me to choose 2.0 ac3 audio. is there a problem or will the software not do 7.1? Also I thought of a suggestion, how about a lock in size for 25gb.

Thanks

[duramaximus]

Also I thought of a suggestion, how about a lock in size for 25gb.

[forumreader]

I saw some references to using mkv2vob to get PS3 compliant files from Ripbot-encoded mkvs. Has anyone gotten mkv profile 4.1 encodes through ripbot264 to work with mkv2vob without requiring a transcode in mkv2vob? Is there something in the 4.1 profile configuration that needs to be checked or unchecked?

[trooper11]

Ive been enjoying the program, it makes the whole process alot easier for batch jobs, but Im having a little issue.

I wanted to post about a question I had regarding the way ripbot handles subtitles.

The subtitles that Im working with are in the .ass format. Now when I open an mkv file and then add the subtitles (the saved .srt file that ripbot created during its demuxing process), the resulting file plays fine and the subtitles are displayed, but the font settings were not transfered to the srt file, specifically thier size. The subs are far too small to be read easily, so Im wondering if there is any option within ripbot to adjust this prior to encoding, or if its just a limitation of taking a .ass sub and converting to .srt


Edit: I didnt realize the subs werent being hardcoded into the video, so I know I could adjust them from vobsub, but Im wantign to have the subs hardcoded to video, is there a specific option I need to use to achieve this? thanks

[dchao]

Do you have the same problem with samples which you sent me?

Yes, both the full original rip and cut down version

Check also what you have in HD-DVD_title_info.txt

pointless. I see no reason to compress 12 GB movie to 25GB! Wouldn't be easier to just copy everything to new disc?!?!

Srt format it self does not support custom fonts. However if you want manually change font or size you can just edit Default.style.

I can't send a sample the file is too large.

I have run into 2 of the movies I have that have been bigger then 25GB (Pirates of the caribbean 3 & 3:10 to Yuma) after I took out the extra sound and other junk. That's why I had interest of a 25gb lock in.

Yes I had and it's already fixed

[nicksan]

I got myself an iPod Touch a few days ago and wanted to check out its movie playback capabilities.

I used RipBot264 and chose the iPod/iPhone profile, then resized to PSP resolution, then remuxed as MP4.

I can drag and drop into iTunes, and I can also sync it to the iPod Touch. On the Touch itseld I can see the thumbnail in the movies section. However when I play it back, the picture is garbled and after a few seconds it stops playing.

Currenlty, I am trying the "Convert to iPod" in iTunes and it's taking a while. It's running as I write this post.

Is this step neccessary to get RibBot264 created MP4 movies on the iPod Touch?

Thanks!!!

OK, I will try that.

FYI, the convert feature in iTunes did do something because now I can play it back on my Touch. However the quality seems to suffer because of this extra conversion.

So I shall see with 1-ref frame, what kind of results I get.

I think the iPod Touch specs state that it can do 3 right?

Thanks!
Nick

[Atak_Snajpera]

...or set lower bitrate. 384 kbps for example.

[Ashmodai]

First thanks for this fantastic software that I use almost everyday and that helps keeping my quad hot :)

I am using an appletv as a video player on my tv and I convert HD mkv to a format that this device is able to support using ripbot. In the process, unfortunately I loose the AC3 tracks most of the mkv do have :helpful: I know that the mp4 container does not officialy support AC3 audio stream but Apple was inventive enough to allow it some time ago on their devices. My request is : could you please add an option to do AAC+AC3 (two streams) as an audio output when reencoding to the mp4 container. Thanks !!!

[mmmmdonut]

Just wanted to say thanks for a great program Atak.

Out of curiosity do you have a published time line anywhere of what features you are planning to add to later releases?

You can also try Ripbot 1.9.10 and see if you can import successfully using the default iPhone profile. Ripbot 1.10.3 has fixed this problem as well. Both these versions work for me on iPhone.

I'm having a problem with this hd dvd - sample here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?gdnnnyjnt3n

Ripbot (latest version) only sees the first of the two evo files and won't accept the audio at all.

Any ideas please?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Sample works on my PC. All audio streams are correctly extracted.

Ripbot (latest version) only sees the first of the two evo files
Make sure that .evos are in untouched HD-DVD structure.

[over-killer]

Hey Atak,

Just want to make sure you got the sample.

[topsham]

Sample works on my PC. All audio streams are correctly extracted.


Make sure that .evos are in untouched HD-DVD structure.
When I originally tried this it only recognised one of the evos so I combined them with tsmuxer into one m2ts file. It was then that the audio wasn't recognised even though I demuxed it separately afterwards.

I have just tried again. It is the first evo that isn't recognised (although that may have been because I selected feature 2 on this occasion) but the audio looks OK. I have put a screen grab of the disc structure here:

http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=czxx9yqzy9p&thumb=4

The first time I tried I definitely selected Feature 1.

Ripbot indicates the film length is 1 hr 7 mins when it should be over 2 hours.

Hi Atak, first of all great app!! Thanks for making it!

I use your app mainly for transcoding non-compliant MKVs to BluRay discs that I play in my standalone. I have a question about the audio processing. When I select the option "AudioProfile=x.x C O P Y S T R E A M" I thought that the original audio was muxed in later without any processing. However, in the avs-script there are in fact alot of refs to auto related functions (resample, downmix, delay (albeit 0), audiodub). Now, if later on the original audio is used, wouldn't it speed up the transcoding when the audio is left untouched?

[Ajax_Undone]

none of which are carried out all they are is references it saves time and code space to use the same avs scrips rather then have new ones drawn every time a new video is loaded

Actually, they are. This is some of the code I had (it's not completely the same, as I altered it a bit (added # to prevent from running), but I can't check how it was originally right now because a transcode is running (15 hrs to go)).

Hello Atak,

Have some trouble shooting with ripbot 1.10.3. When i load the mkv file (h.264 video and AC3 track) the audio track is empty, not found any audio sequence.

I use tSmuxer to remux in m2ts and specify "Und" language for "FRE" and remux in m2ts. Reload the m2ts file, samething. Now i will try DEMUX and separate the audio and video tracks and give you some news about it.

Could you help me with that trouble? Could you need something ? Log file or screenshot?

I encode usually 256kbs/iphone profile
Any suggestion?

Maybe because of the bitrate ?
Try 768 oder something similar

[Ajax_Undone]

Complane to Apple. Cause thats sad CS to break what worked B4...

[dchao]

Two suggestions:

1) Let the user add new jobs when RipBot has started encoding.

2) Demuxing at the beginning takes a long time if the video is long. It would be nice to let user add new jobs when it is demuxing as well.

My 2 cents.

Would it be possible to add the subtitle setting that are available in tsMuxer (Font, size, borderwidth, offsets, etc)? Right now I do it manually by redoing the sup files while the encoding is taking place. Not a big deal but perhaps it's a nice addon for the program.

A different thing regarding subs, I think there's a bug in the ass => srt conversion. The new line code is converted to "/n" which is actually added as text.

Atak,

Just tested RipBot264 v1.10.3 with a 31 sec. XVID w/mp3 sound track avi clip using the SD PSP profile, RipBot264 successful created the mp4 but I found the audio with several repeated sequence problem. Here is the download link for the original clip with the output and complete job log for your investigation -> RipBot2641.10.3TEST.7z (http://www.sendspace.com/file/xm9qb7)

Many thanks for provide this great utility anyways...

[riptorn]

Wow, after a long wait and reading this thread daily, I can finally post!

I ripped all three pirate blurays to my pc then ran conversion on them; first two are fantastic, look great, sound great. The third movie though had a couple of broken up frames and the audio after about 10 minutes in is junk.

What log file would i need to check to see what went wrong? is this the rip being bad or the demux then recode stage?

Thanks for the awesome tool btw.

I found how to mux bluray structure that will support the ff in the PS3.

we need to remove theses parameters from the command line to tsmuxer : insertSEI, contSPS

if we mux the movie.264 + ac3 with that.. it will play perfectly.. and will support ff and rw

[mmmmdonut]

Request:

Atak could you put an abort button on the window where you select which video and audio track to process?

Thx

[Rumbah]

I really like using RipBot264 now that I bought a PSP as portable media player. The results are really great but nevertheless I have a few feature requests:

1. Allow an avi file as audio source. When I load a self made avs file as video, I can manually select the audio file. But I can only select mp3, wav, etc. as source but not the original avi file. It would be great if I could select the avi file and RipBot demuxes the audio for me as it does if I select an avi as video source.

2. Add a mono audio profile. If I squeeze a 45-50 minutes video to about 150 mb, a 35 mb audio file is too big. Converting it to mono would cut the audio need by half and it's not that a big quality loss for a portable device.

3. Add NeroAAC support. I guess that appeared on the 99 pages in this thread but I admit that I didn't read all the pages. The LC VBR 0.3 profile gives a good small file as result (for mono about 40-45 kbps for a movie). Of course you had to add video bitrate calculation after audio encoding if you added support for VBR audio.

I hope some of these things can be integrated in future versions to make RipBot264 even better ;)

[spida_singh]

just a quick question, any ideas why i cant set the custom resolution to 1920x1080 to make a compliant blu ray disk from a video file? It goes to 1088, not 1080?

[Atak_Snajpera]

1) Let the user add new jobs when RipBot has started encoding.
hmmmmm I don't know....

2) Demuxing at the beginning takes a long time if the video is long. It would be nice to let user add new jobs when it is demuxing as well.
Remuxing 2 or more movies at the same time would be probably even slower. Hard drive would have to much work to do (Read -> Write , Read -> Write, ...)

A different thing regarding subs, I think there's a bug in the ass => srt conversion. The new line code is converted to "/n" which is actually added as text.
I will fix ass2srt app later

Audio is corrupted. However if you remux entire avi to mkv it can be fixed. (use mmg.exe)

The third movie though had a couple of broken up frames and the audio after about 10 minutes in is junk.
If you have the same problem during preview function in RipBot264 then it means that movie was not correctly ripped/decrypted.

Atak could you put an abort button on the window where you select which video and audio track to process?
I will do it later. I was thinking about it earlier at work :)

It would be great if I could select the avi file and RipBot demuxes the audio for me as it does if I select an avi as video source.
I'm afraid you will have to do it manually

Nero license does not allow me to distribute nero encoder with my package. End of story.

[Ashmodai]

Pleeeeeeasaaaasssseee add an option for AAC 2 channel + AC3 for appletv :)))

[Rumbah]

I'm afraid you will have to do it manually

Ok, I'll have to live with it

Mono? No way :)

Nero license does not allow me to distribute nero encoder with my package. End of story.

Ok, would it bother you if I'll release a wrapper for these problems? I've already written it for my personal usage (mono and NeroAAC) but for release I would "polish" it a little bit. Of course if anyone wants to use it you have to download the Nero encoder separately

[Ajax_Undone]

The Installer has been updated!
TBC=(To Be Changed) CFR=(changed for release()

Sure upload it I can include it in the installer...:rolleyes:

As for Nero I can have the installer download NeroAAC and locate it in a specific folder... No need to include it but have it as option for download...:sly: PM me with details..

mkv doesn't make sense for me because I will use the PSP as player. I have tested the same avi clip converted to mp4avc using MeGUI and other tools are okay, that's why I think that is something related with RipBot264.

Like I said Audio is corrupted. FFmpeg does not lie :) Megui and other gui's do not demux audio by default.

Remux entire avi to mkv and then import mkv in ripbot.

I can confirm that this also works for the standalone Panasonic DMP-BD30 :thanks:

thanks a lot

I need to find a way how to remove that from ripbot without editing the commandline each time.

Ask Atak?

[deets]

i have a small request from a PSP perspective :) would it be possible to output a thumbnail at the end of a psp encode so we can upload the video with a nice pic to go with it!

[mmmmdonut]

Atak 10.4 fixed my evo combining issue. Thanks for the quick turn around.

[womble2]

@deets


my PSP shows a Frame from the Videofile, if there's no corresponding thumbnail available, doesn't yours ?

[DJ_Price]

Thanks on the latest update, but I'm unable to grab it either the .7z file or the automatic install from Ajax_Undone. Would it be possibly to upload the files to a different file sharing site? MediaFire recently has been causing a lot or problems when I've been trying to use it, don't know if anyone else has the same problems.

[over-killer]

I haven't been able to find anything in the post, so forgive me if this has already been addressed. I want to take one of my bluray disc and back it up to a dvd9. I know the process on how to do it, but with the newer versions of ripbot when I select the source file it recognizes it as a bluray disc and starts to convert the movie to a mkv automatically. Is there a way around this besides moving the source out of the directory?

[Atak_Snajpera]

The easiest way to rip Blu-ray disc is
1) install AnyDVD HD (allows decrypting on fly)
2) Open file in RipBot264 directly from disc

10.4 fixed my hddvd missing audio issues.. thanks!

[dchao]

1) Let the user add new jobs when RipBot has started encoding.

hmmmmm I don't know....

What I meant to say was "after the encoding has started".

One might have a number of jobs to add to the queue, it would be good if we can start the encoding as soon as the first job is in the queue while we can take our time to configure the next job. It will definitely save a some time.

Right now, after the encoding has started, there is no turning back for the user. So let the user modify /edit /delete queuing jobs after the encoding has started would be very nice.

Size MUST BE SET to HD-Full

When selecting this option (HD_FULL), resolution is 1920x800 not 1080, and does not allow me to set 1920x1080 via custom,will selecting this, will it make the disc structure comlpliant?
:thanks:

[8ternity]

1.10.3 & 1.10.4 Troubleshooting when playing the AVCHD blu-ray conversion in ps3 and blu-ray players. Audio track, sounds goes on/off tested with 2 different blu-ray players, and 1 ps3.

Probably something wrong with the conversion?

And one question, i have an movie (die hard 1) the audio track are too low for the sound. I want to modifiy the audio file to accurate the sound. Boost the sound output, did we can have an option with ripbot to to that?

Thanks.

:thanks:

Select FULL-HD. The resolution will be 1920x800 + add border in the right windows in the script will adding black borders to end the resolution to 1920x1080. Select blu-Ray. Use conversion for 2 pass and modify the "LOCK SIZE" 4470 for an DVD5 or 8000 for an DVD9. After that burn it with nero or IMGBurn @ UDF file 2.50 and burn the 2 folders (BDMV and STRUCTURE folders).

Enjoy!

[Atak_Snajpera]

I would just use 4480 or 8150 MB...

[Mike_111]

hi, maybe a dumb question, but:

- how can i change the default audio profile?
- how can i set a default size (under picture properties)?

Thx!

[Rumbah]

Ok, here is my first try for the NeroAAC and mono wrapper. Not beautiful, but it works for me ;)

You have to rename the bepipe.exe file in RipBot264v1.9.10\Tools\BePipe\ to bepipe2.exe . Then you have to copy the bepipe.exe out of the zip file to the folder. Then you have to execute it one time to configure it or every time you want to change the configuration.

Then just use RipBot like you would normally do it. If you want to downmix to mono you have to select a 2.0 profile. For debugging reasons the audio encoding process isn't hidden.

[jtheripper]

I have a samsung 1400 BD player. When I make a avchd dvd with ripbot that has DTS sound it will not play on it. Howevere if I encode it with DD 640 it plays just fine. The DTS disc will play if it is burned in a BD-RE but not a DVD+R. The DTS also plays on my PC. Is this a player limitation or part of the avchd spec?

Try to upgrade player's firmware. If I were you I would sell it as soon as possible and bought PS3 (The Best Blu-Ray player available at the moment). It plays everything DVD+r/-r DTS ,AC3 and so on...

[topsham]

Thank you Atak. v1.10.4 fixed my HD DVD split evo problem. Works great now.

[slow4mula]

i apologize if this has already been covered...i'm converting 1080p .m2ts files to .bluray to make avchd discs. I am getting between 7-9 fps on the second pass. Is there a file i can manually edit (x264 encoder settings) to speed the encodes w/o loosing too much quality?

i'm using a q6600 @ 3ghz.

thanks.
