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

[deets]

i really like this, very simple and clean :)

minimise to tray would be neat and d2v creation perhaps could be skipped if you have the d2v already?

and for scilli, just use megui for wmv and directshow, although you may get weird result as hinted at :)

Minimize to tray, along with an option to hide the command window. :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Command window is already hidden in my personal v1.3.0 BETA. (Necessary informations are shown in GUI) Minimize to tray will be also added.

Im always getting that problem?

-.-

I seem to be getting this error with certain avi files as well. As soon as I try to add them as video input I get this error, and no info.txt is generated.

[Atak_Snajpera]

If you are getting this error don't close it. Open getinfo.avs file from "c:\RipBot264temp\job1" in Media Player Classic and check if info.txt is created in the same directory.

Try this and let me know if MPC shows an error.

Nice. RipBot has quickly become my favorite GUI. It's so easy to use compared to what I've dealt with.

If I ever end up with any funds left over in my PayPal account, I wouldn't mind donating if development continues at this pace.

[scilli]

MPC show an error.
It tells me AviSource: Could not decompress frame 0.
Now the video in question is an avi encoded with divx4(if mediainfo is correct). I don't really see why it wouldn't be able to decompress as I'm able to view it in my media players with ffdshow acting as the decoder(....wait if Avisource is used ffdshow may not even come into play correct?). I'm gonna try changing some fourcc's and see what happens. Any thoughts?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Could you send me a small part of your file? Use VirtualDub to cut it.

[deets]

one extra thing, would it be possible to either be able to add to your avisynth or have a check box to add the PSP screen lighten tweak to avoid the blurring?

thats all i could ask for from the PSP perspective (For now anyway!)

[Atak_Snajpera]

I don't like that color fix. Picture is too bright,colors are changed and ghosting is still present...

BTW new version is available

[deets]

sure, then you wouldn't need to use it, but for those of us who would prefer it (or even just have the option), we currently cant using ripbot :(

i would use it on some material, like the movie hostel is just so dark on the psp screen and the ghosting is constant.

[Ronin-7]

Nice little app Atak_Snajpera very handy.

One thing though your PS3/Xbox360 profile isn't 100% compatible on the Xbox side of the fence you need to set AdaptDCT=0 for it to be fully compatible. It will read thumbnails, video length, anamorphic videos and be able to stream over network.

How disabling Adaptive DCT affects the PS3 I couldn't say but with the profile as it is the videos encoded will play on the Xbox 360 via local storage just minus the the things I listed above.

[Atak_Snajpera]

One thing though your PS3/Xbox360 profile isn't 100% compatible on the Xbox side of the fence you need to set AdaptDCT=0 for it to be fully compatible.

It must be a bug in firmware because according to official web site XBOX360 should support High Profile (adaptDCT).

[deets]

if you could add a little tick box for those of us who are stupid enough to want to use the colour tweak to help with the awful ghosting, i would push this on my site as the number one tool for PSP encoding and put up a page on how to use it etc.

i know the colour tweak sucks, but the ghosting does as well and there are many who decide the trade off is sadly worth it on a lot of very dark material :)

i could also host the files etc.

Yeah it's a bit weird not sure why they did that could be a bug or might have something to do with Zune software (which is just WMP11) and it's H.264 support as it's the official media server software.

[Atak_Snajpera]

How big files xbox360 is able to play? (i mean size) I'm asking because PS3 doesn't play mp4 larger than ~2GB.

[Ronin-7]

Xbox 360 plays files up to a size of 4GB.

[Atak_Snajpera]

and one more thing. Does xbox360 play mp4 with more than 3 ref frames?

You know that you can already edit the avisynth script from withing RipBot264 right? I've added the ghosting fix on a few really dark videos and it has worked fine.

[deets]

i dont know that no, how do i do that

[YouDontKnowMe]

well, could you anyhow let the GUI build the d2v after I've added it to the joblist and startet it? because adding 10 files take me over 35mins... or at least a way how I could add 10 files without set them one-by-one for ipod setting, automatical crop and resize to 352x288... is there a way for one of these? anyways a very great GUI you have here :P

[Atak_Snajpera]

well, could you anyhow let the GUI build the d2v after I've added it to the joblist and startet it?
My answer is no! d2v file is used for decoding in preview. Then if file is indexed and audio is demuxed I can calculate values for filesize.

automatical crop and resize to 352x288...
Since when IPOD's resolution is higher than 320x240?

[YouDontKnowMe]

I have a PDA and it can play psp files and ipod files ^^ since ipod delivers nearly same quality but is far fastar I use ipod ^^

[Atak_Snajpera]

Does IPOD support resolution other than native? Let's say 320x180 or 320x136?

[YouDontKnowMe]

I really dont know but it should be 320x176 because 180 is not mod16... but if you could add a feature to add more eps quicker would be great coz I sit over half an hour on my pc just for adding the eps thanks in advance... ^^

[Atak_Snajpera]

Maybe in 1.5 but I do not guarantee anything

[scilli]

i dont know that no, how do i do that

After you add a video just click on the avisynth button. There are drop down options for deinterlacing and resizing on the left and a copy of your actual script on the right. It looks like it is greyed out but you can write your own lines into it.

[Atak_Snajpera]

New version is ready to download

One more thing... for compatibility reasons audio in preview is always downmixed to stereo.

[Ichika]

Hey, I really like this program you've made, but I was wondering why you add a border of 2 pixels at the bottom when resizing to any of the PSP resolutions? Also, perhaps you could add a way to save or preserve your joblist until you want to manually remove them yourself? And some of my mpeg2 files (.mpg, .ts) aren't loading properly (Something about can't load it in -HIDE mode?), and some avi's as well but it's just the info.txt error that some others have been getting, though these avi's load fine on my friend's computer. And for the new version, the "-1.25" parameter in TextSub just makes my subs out of sync.

[bmnot]

What's the best method (top, bottom field) to de-interlace 480i DVD vob's when converting them with ripbot? I don't know the difference.

[Schrade]

What's the best method (top, bottom field) to de-interlace 480i DVD vob's when converting them with ripbot? I don't know the difference.

DVD video is generally Top Field First. DV video from camcorders is almost always Bottom Field First.

[Atak_Snajpera]

@Ichika

PSP always removes 2 bottom lines and then centers picture on the screen. Try to replace original Addborders with this AddBorders(0,0,0,2,255). You will see blue lines at the bottom but they are not visible on PSP.

And for the new version, the "-1.25" parameter in TextSub just makes my subs out of sync.

Try to change default 25 value to 23.976 or 29.97

and some avi's as well but it's just the info.txt error that some others have been getting, though these avi's load fine on my friend's computer

I know that issue from the begining. Sometimes Windows does not allow to write info.txt. Try to restart your PC and do not open RipBot264temp directory. Also make sure your path and filenames do not contain national characters like ą,ż,ź,ń,ó and so on

[max24]

Is the function to be read in planned files AVS and to Encoden. If I was glad about it! Nice program Thanks

[Atak_Snajpera]

v1.5.0 is now available

Good advice for people encoding TS files. I highly recommend to scan stream for errors before encoding. You can use Transport Stream Packet Editor (TSPE). If you want to demux audio use xport. BTW Annoying problem with missing file info.txt has been fixed finally :)

[MarcioAB]

Hello,

Version is 1.5.0

1) Is that possible to open an avisynth script (avs) ? (how).
2) Receiving "invalid point operation" when trying to open any video (mp4).

Thank you.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Stupid bug with decimal symbol. I will fix that in couple minutes.

Sorry but script cannot be opened by RipBot264. My app is designed to generate AVS script automatically. However you can copy necessary lines to Script editor.

[deets]

cool i noticed that as well :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

I forgot to check if new version is working with other decimal symbol than "." I assume you use ","

Fixed version will be available after midnight

[The Scientist]

I get this as soon as I run (on Vista x86) the program:

http://www.dvduk.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ripbot.png

[Atak_Snajpera]

I also use vista but I have never seen something like this :(

[AMED]

i got a this at startup as well, XP SP2
http://i9.tinypic.com/5xzw13l.png
After i click ok, ripbot seems to open fine but when i open a .VOB is get this.
http://i17.tinypic.com/2nulurl.png


is there any chance of getting support for nero aac encoder?

[deets]

is the fixed version up so i can add to the site :)

i didnt get any error on vista 64 except the floating point one

[Atak_Snajpera]

I've just came from work...
Floating point has been fixed. Download v1.5.0 again. Sorry guys but I couldn't connect to forum.doom9.org yesterday night so I wasn't able to post anything. Let me know if you still have that strange error.

is there any chance of getting support for nero aac encoder?
I doubt you will hear difference between CT and nero. Some people even claim that CT gives better quality in HE than nero.

[The Scientist]

Same error here.

[Atak_Snajpera]

try with this
http://www.mediafire.com/?ajfo5tdeym2

[The Scientist]

try with this
http://www.mediafire.com/?ajfo5tdeym2Still no good.

The program *does* run after this error.

[Atak_Snajpera]

This error appears only if you use limited account (Guest or Standard User for example). Try with administrator account or set compatibility to XP SP2

[deets]

yeah i still get the floating point error with the new version and just the exe download using vista 64

[Atak_Snajpera]

Could you make a screenshot? I really don't know what to say? Yesterday I made few encodings for PSP with "." and "," set in windows (Regional and Languages Options) and everything was ok!
