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

[Ajax_Undone]

I still don't see anything to warrant that the K-lite codec pack is rubbish except very opinionated ideas.

First mistake we are not opinionated but actually quite right it is not our opinion that Packs suck it is a firm knowledge...

I have been using K-lite for about 6 years now and I have encoded to many formats including mpeg2, mpeg4 sp/asp (h263), AVC/h264, DTS, ac3, aac, mp3... etc. etc. SD/HD, upside down, flip it and reverse it... LOL! Never have I once experienced any problems or conflicts with my encoding applications.

You've been lucky or you lied (don't take offence I never do)

I am not claiming to be an expert as there are obviously a lot of people here that are quite switched on. However, I still have enough experience to validate my opinion here.

Yes much to base it one but fact none... The reason you even showed up on this forum was to tell us about errors you had with this software... (the codec packs are a usual suspect) <--See you lied you had a problem--No biggie

I still can not understand why K-lite is considered crap. You can easily check or uncheck any codec configurations you like. There is also a full direct show control panel that allows you to select which codecs are enabled or disabled. So if any problems occur you can easily rectify this through some tweaking of these controls. The codecs installed are generally vfw or acm, so if you wish to use command line codecs like RipBot264 does then of course K-lite has no effect on that whatsoever.

Now if you can't

Oh but I can :-P

I am completely ready to listen and even accept your opinion. All that I ask for is some reasoning behind these statements. Would that be possible please? :)

Ok since you have declared you are not an expert fallow the instruct of the people who are... Its for your own good really...



Ok reasoning ---> Un ---> Explained ---> Errors.....

1) The command line does use the codecs that are on the system to decode what ever is being encoded...


2) We can not identify problems you are having in the wares on your computer unless we subject our selves to the madness that is/are Codec packs...

3) K-lite and others configure the codecs in ways that leave much to be desired.

(Example) Lets say you have lame for decoding your mp3 but you also have on that same system FFDshow and Fraunhofer or other doing the same. The mp3 because the person had the audacity to install a codec pack plays back choppy Why well to many codecs only one mp3...

The same is true for video...

4) The idea behind FFDshow is that you will only need one codec (ie one codec fits all) FFD will decode most any format file you can ever imagine... And more every day...

haali is the proverbial mascot of MKV/MP4 it complements FFDshow directly...

[ajamils]

All Codec packs are rubbish there isn't one been produced yet that holds any validity for use in encoding circumstances...

FFD should be the only *UPDATED* codec bundle used... and that can be installed from my installer for ripbot and autoMKV... www.stage-x.org here you can find the download links... Enjoy...

If you wish to update the ffdshow codecs at anytime just go here http://ffdshow.info/ and download the clsid latest nightly build... (ie the latest build will have the highest build number in clsid genaric builds)...

*Edit Ok now you can get the latest installer from my site...

I uninstalled the K-Lite codec pack and used the installer for RipBot on your site. Installation went fine but when I tried to convert a mkv file I got the error message (inside Media Player Classic - getinfo.avs)......."Load Plugin: unable to load "C:\Program Files\RipBot264\tools\AviSynth plugins\BassAudio\Bassaudio.dll"

(C:\Users\Aj\AppData\Local\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line3)


Any Idea ??

[Ryu77]

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

Just wanted to mention...

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

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

Any idea what caused this?

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

That was my first post on this thread. 100% based on a command line encoder (controlled by RipBot264's GUI), which I fixed myself by exchanging it with a different version (Aften).

It's all good. You obviously have your opinion and I'll have mine. Ajax, all your points are completely valid for somebody that doesn't know how to configure codecs correctly. See, the difference is that I don't use K-lite as a lazy way of configuring everything automatically. Instead I see it as an efficient way of obtaining most of the codecs I need as I am quite dedicated to my career and I simply don't have the time to download everything one by one. With some careful installation and configurations, I have found that there will be no confilcts occuring.

I was looking for solutions not ways to exploit any weaknesses that RipBot264 may have had. Nothing is perfect.

Note: My very first opening sentence thanked Atak for creating this software.

I would really like to make amends here. If I can back track a little bit... The problem I had was not with Atak's opinion of K-lite, he is certainly entitled to that. It was the way he said it. He should have known that since I was the person that suggested K-lite that I would take offence. Who wouldn't to this?... "DO NOT INSTALL THIS SHIT!!!!! CODEC PACKS ARE FOR LAMERS AND NOOBS!".

Now to answer your post...

Ok reasoning ---> Un ---> Explained ---> Errors.....

1) The command line does use the codecs that are on the system to decode what ever is being encoded...

Agreed... To decode! But not to encode. In RipBot264, all the encoders are in the "tools" folder. The problem I had, as I mentioned above was with the Aften ac3 encoder.


2) We can not identify problems you are having in the wares on your computer unless we subject our selves to the madness that is/are Codec packs...

3) K-lite and others configure the codecs in ways that leave much to be desired.

(Example) Lets say you have lame for decoding your mp3 but you also have on that same system FFDshow and Fraunhofer or other doing the same. The mp3 because the person had the audacity to install a codec pack plays back choppy Why well to many codecs only one mp3...

The same is true for video...

Didn't you see the part where I mentioned that K-lite includes a "control panel" to prevent this? It is called the "Codec Tweak Tool". Admittidly, most nOObs probably don't know about this feature or how to use it. I don't see it as too much of a challenge to make sure that one decoder is set to decode each type of format. Also as FFDshow is an integral part of K-lite, you also get the FFDshow video and audio decoder configuration panel, also ensuring that no conflicts will occur.

4) The idea behind FFDshow is that you will only need one codec (ie one codec fits all) FFD will decode most any format file you can ever imagine... And more every day...

haali is the proverbial mascot of MKV/MP4 it complements FFDshow directly...

I agree 100%. Haali is a fantastic container splitter as is FFDshow as a decoder. As I said above K-lite is pretty much FFDshow and Haali with a few extra codecs thrown into the mix also. I use Media Player Classic... This is included. I prefer to use the DivX decoder for mpeg4 sp/asp... This is also included (as the pro version). I sometimes use HuffyUV (lossless compression) to create an edited "master" file as an in between for testing purposes to get optimum results... This is also included. I could continue explaining my reasons but it really doesn't matter because they are important to me but not so much to you.


I would much rather make friends here as I believe that we all have something to offer that someone else doesn't. Working together we can surely achieve more. My point was never to try to prove anyone wrong or inferior. I have better virtues than that. I was simply disappointed that Atak didn't consider his words before he spoke them. I guess I had higher expectations of him as I felt that he did a very good job of putting RipBot264 together. I thought a person of his intelligence would have a larger vocabulary to choose from. Since then I have realised that his English isn't 100%, so I find that I could easily put all this in the past. However, ever since I made my "K-lite" post, I seem to have been defending my reasons for using the K-lite mega codec pack, which was besides the point. My point seems to have been lost in a different argument now. I hope we can move past this and start focusing on ways to improve all this software which we all love and know so well. :):):)

I have a problem.
Even I choose "do not crop" or "Automatically", I still didn't receive a right aspect ratio.
Any idea what caused this?

[IYG]

And my final movie's pictures is kind of like this:
http://www.doom9.org/images/Interlace.jpg
I used [ level 4.1 ] HD . BluRay . Consoles
What should I change?

[Adub]

It's called interlacing, hombre. You have to de-interlace to get it back to "normal". There are billions of ways to do it, so for more info just look into the avisynth options.

May you be more specific?
I appreciate it.
I usually have this problem with music show too.

[Ryu77]

It is more than likely pulldown material. What I would suggest is that you load the video into AVIsynth and scan through the frames one by one via using your right cursor key.

Do you get 3 progressive (clear and smooth) frames followed by 2 interlaced frames (like the photo you posted)?

If you do, then you need to apply inverse 3:2 pulldown.

[~bT~]

just a suggestion, but maybe Atak can incorporate source detector like buzzqw has done with automkv?

[Atak_Snajpera]

^ testing now..

UPDATE: same problem..

I've converted (once again:) Kelly_rowland.mkv with forced resampling and everything is ok. Audio correctly muxed and plays fine in MPC.

[Atak_Snajpera]

In order to get proper aspect ratio You must select size after cropping.

And my final movie's pictures is kind of like this:

Enable Top Field First -> xx fps in Deinterlace field

if your source is 29.97 and you spot repeated frames like Ryu77 mentioned use also Decimate -> 23.976

[~bT~]

I've converted (once again:) Kelly_rowland.mkv with forced resampling and everything is ok. Audio correctly muxed and plays fine in MPC. to .bluray folder??

[Atak_Snajpera]

Yes!!!! :) I can upload if you want.

[~bT~]

^ y doesn't it work for me??

will try again.

[~bT~]

^ yup. it was added last night too :)

a lil request pls.. is it poss for you to add another Blu-ray 4.1 profile but faster?

[~bT~]

okayyy, it worked but i get no audio in mpc. mplayer is working fine.. does it play correctly for you in mpc?

[Atak_Snajpera]

a lil request pls.. is it poss for you to add another Blu-ray 4.1 profile but faster?
Change Number of ref-frames to 1

does it play correctly for you in mpc?
I use only MPC (without internal filters :)

[Ryu77]

IYG, as Atak just mentioned decimate is also very important. I will explain why...

As already explained from the photo you posted. Your video is interlaced, so what that means is that the video is split into two fields and they each move independently frame by frame during interlaced frames. The most common pattern is 3:2 pulldown, meaning 3 progressive frames, followed by 2 interlaced frames @ 29.97fps.

If you were to blend those fields together (aka: remove the interlacing) you would be left with a video of 29.97fps but now they are all progressive. Only problem is because of the blending process, you will be left with duplicate frames. This will cause a jerking like frame rate and wont run smooth at all. What decimate does is remove those duplicate frames and restore the video back to it's original 23.976fps as it was in the Cinema.

Please make sure that you test this with the method I advised earlier. As I said 3:2 pulldown is the most common form of interlacing but it is not the only telecine pattern. You will need to check this yourself.

If you have confirmed that it is 3:2 pulldown, this is an example of an AVIsynth script you will need to use...

DirectShowSource("D:\YourMovie.m2ts")
loadplugin("D:\decomb522.dll")
Telecide(guide=1,post=2,vthresh=35)
Decimate()
LanczosResize(1280,720)

Note: Some configuration of the decomb (vthresh) and decimate filter may be needed. See here for more information... http://neuron2.net/decomb/decombnew.html

[~bT~]

finally! :D all working in mpc now. :thanks:

Thank you. Great help, man :thanks:

[~bT~]

^ i don't think its poss for you to select anything. there seems to be a bug which has greyed out all options for deinterlacing and decimating.

i just tried with some vobs and it automatically applied force film when its NOT film.

[survivant001]

Ajak

can you add the options to convert ALL the audio track from a MKv ?

I have a mkv with french and english audio track that I would like to convert to bluray.

[Ryu77]

^ i don't think its poss for you to select anything. there seems to be a bug which has greyed out all options for deinterlacing and decimating.

i just tried with some vobs and it automatically applied force film when its NOT film.

I was referring to a manually created AVIsynth script. You have complete control over the video that is fed onto your encoding app, as AVIsynth is a pre-cursor which does the filtering before it is frameserved into RipBot264 (or any other encoding software). I would never de-interlace any other way. AVIsynth is always the best way to go. :)

Just a tip, I would recommend downloading AVSedit. It is a great front end (GUI) for AVIsynth and comes complete with AVIsynth help files. There is a complete tutorial on how to de-interlace and decimate using the decomb filter I referred to above.

[ajamils]

can anyone help me with this (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1113847&postcount=953)

[~bT~]

^ check to see if u have that plugin. if not, reinstall/unzip the newest version.

[~bT~]

REQUEST: option to not re-encode video if the avc level is already set to 4.1 for Blu-ray output and instead output a vob like MKV2VOB & GotSend.

[ajamils]

^ check to see if u have that plugin. if not, reinstall/unzip the newest version.
Thanks. That worked.

REQUEST: option to not re-encode video if the avc level is already set to 4.1 for Blu-ray and instead output a vob like MKV2VOB & GotSend.
+1. That would definitely help.

On a separate note, I conveted 3 movies yesterday from mkv to mp4 and one of them came out with wrong aspect ratio. Instead of 16:9 it came out as 4:3 with everything squished. Any idea how I can fix that ?

Conversion of three movies took almost 14 hours (I have Athlon 64 x2 5200+, 4GB RAM and Vista Ultimate). Is it suppose to take that long ???

[~bT~]

^ the original could me like that. incorrect flags.

load the original mkv in mkvmerge gui and set the correct a/r. not sure if the mp4 can be remuxed manually with the correct a/r flag.

[ajamils]

^ the original could me like that. incorrect flags. what type of file is it?

its a mkv file (not sure about the audio & video specs).

[~bT~]

^ sorry, read my last post again. edited.

[ajamils]

^ the original could me like that. incorrect flags.

load the original mkv in mkvmerge gui and set the correct a/r. not sure if the mp4 can be remuxed manually with the correct a/r flag.

OK I'll try that. On a separate note, when I play the file in mpc it shows up in correct A/R so I guess, its during conversion that it messes up.

[~bT~]

^ play it in mplayer, it may not be the same. i've had the same issue in the past.

[ajamils]

^ play it in mplayer, it may not be the same. i've had the same issue in the past.

MPC = Media Player Classic. I assume that mplayer you mean the regular media player ? If so, I'll try it out in the evening, when I get home.

[~bT~]

google mplayer or mpui or smplayer.

[xaero]

hi! first off, this is an awesome tool! perfect for almost all my re-encoding needs! :)

but i've ran into some trouble... i was trying to re-encode some avi files to a psp compliant format.. so i added the avi file, selected psp profile, selected crop to psp profile.. and hit ok(it took quite a long time during "gathering information").. then i clicked start and it looked like it was encoding.. after 10 or so mins, it displayed "All jobs done" but there wasnt any output file..

this is my log :

Try to remux avi to mkv. Use mmg.exe in /tools/MKVToolnix

[jibelin]

Hey folks & Atak,

I'm somewhat new to Ripbot but have been reading searching and experimenting. Question about relative speed one should expect when encoding. It appears to be very slow on two-pass encoding. Here are my stats, please let me know if this is within expectation.

First pass of encoding average 5fps and takes about 5 hours for 1HR of video (see file details below).

Second pass is slower and takes more than double 12hrs, so total time is about 17hrs for 1hr of HD video.

Any help would be appreciated....


Ripbot 1.9.2 Ajax install
HD Console Profile
MKV container
AC3 audio copy
Planet Earth Pole to Pole m2ts file (~7.9gb)
Source file is 1920x1080p

It's normal. If I were you I would invest in new CPU for example Intel QuadCore.

# Source file is 1920x1080p
# using 2 pass 4096kbs

4Mbps for 1080p is very low. I recommend 720p and 6Mbps

[Adub]

nope, that speed sounds about right. Especially when you are dealing with HD material and a single core processor. If you want more speed, you need a faster processor.

[jibelin]

It's normal. If I were you I would invest in new CPU for example Intel QuadCore.



4Mbps for 1080p is very low. I recommend 720p and 6Mbps

Thanks Atak, very insightful, your comment about 720p, are you suggesting converting the video to a lower resolution? My intention is to play the files with the original resolution on HD media stream (in my case TVIX m6500) i was doing a number of experiments with best quality to size ratio. What's your thinking on that?

:thanks:

[Atak_Snajpera]

Thanks Atak, very insightful, your comment about 720p, are you suggesting converting the video to a lower resolution?
Yes! Use lower resolution with higher bitrate.

[survivant001]

@Atak_Snajpera

do you plan to add subtitle in the bluray format in your next release ? I have some movies with soft subs that I want to convert for the PS3. Don't want to hardsubs them.

I am new to ripbot and have found it to be the only solution to the problem im having... i have an m2ts file from a bluray disc (1080p) that i am trying to convert to mpeg... wut i do i m2ts--->ripbot-->mkv---->mkv2vob... however when i queue up the 30 gig m2ts it goes into pass1 and starts to encode the file... however after a few min it says its done... however no mkv or log file.... am i doing something wrong... i tried this with a smaller (4g) ts file and got an mkv.... n e help would be appreciated


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

If I rip from DVD, what is the bitrate should I set for profit 4.1?
BTW, I tried many times but I still didn't get a proper aspect ratio.
If I want to get it right, I must set resize to the right resolution.

25Mbps is max. Use CRF@22 instead of 2-pass.

Crop, set SD size

Hello Atak, this may not be the most appropriate place to request this but since you are here the most I thought it wouldn't hurt.

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...

As you know many people desire to "repack" mkv files into m2ts files that are compatible on the PS3 or stand alone Blu-ray players. To do this we need to "tag" them as level 4.1 for compatibility. However, as you know sometimes the video is encoded above the 4.1 boundaries. By simply "tagging" it as 4.1 doesn't enable it to play.

My point is, is it possible to create a little application that could scan a h264 file and identify what level it could be "tagged" as? Something that could scan through the video file and identify what encoding options have been enabled to identify it's true profile level... Is that possible?

This would save a lot of trouble when deciding if we need to simply remux a stream or if we actually need to re-encode it.
