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

[klopsknoedel]

maybe ripbot gives a "forced" flag? but im not sure, so I just use MKVMerge

unfortunatly not ... i'm waiting for this feature a while now but don't wanted to bother atak with that. would be nice if this could be implemented.

[8ternity]

Hi Atak,

Did you think that ripbot264 can be paused sometimes in your futur developpement suggestions? Did you already got that idea? Im using my laptop to convert some other project and would like to pause sometimes and resume at home when im back.

THanks.

[benjyv]

Which is the right syntax for these parameters to be written within RB code box ???

--psy-rd 1.20:0.20
--me-range 32
--aq-mode 1:0.80

The above parameters are using MeGui syntax....

[KiwiKid]

Can you increase subtitle font size when converting BD to MKV with hardcoded subs? :thanks:

THanks.

yeah I've asked for this too. it'd be a nice feature

[prexaspes]

Has anyone used InterFrame with RipBot? I've been using RipBot for a while now and would like to know what script works best with RipBot to create interframes.

I put a script in from the MeGui guide and left it at the Medium preset, ran it through RipBot 2-Pass encoding, but the interpolation seems to have bad frames in it in throughout the video.

Do I need to do single pass encoding with it?

[Atak_Snajpera]

@8ternity and pacaveli211
There is nothing I can do. However you can always use Sleep/Hibernate function in windows.

sleep / hibernate doesn't work in my case. sounds like it might work for 8ternity though
if I'm wanting to pause it...it's so I can free up resources to do something else on my PC, not because I want to shut off my PC.
but, if there's no way you can add it, then it doesn't matter.
thanks for the reply =)

I am not sure if this will help you out but here is what I do when I want to free up resources for other computer activities while encoding. I have a quad core processor so while x264 is doing its thing I go into task manager and set the affinity of x264 to use less cores. This is one method I know of but if you don't have a multi-core processor I don't think it will do you much good. Just a suggestion for you to ponder.

[benjyv]

Well I've discovered few tricks :


MeGui --> RipBot

--me-range 32 --> --merange 32

--aq-mode 1:0.80 --> --aq-strength 1:0.80 I'm not sure if numbers are proper written


--psy-rd 1.20:0.20 --> -- ??? Here is my last issue https://hdbits.org/pic/smilies/hmmm.gif

Can someone help me ????

[8ternity]

Did it possible to do with with with a check option "Pause" between the 1-pass and 2-pass ? Did it possible and usefull for other member (not for me).

[hoju3508]

@benjyv, it's the same syntax for --psy-rd in RipBot.

[benjyv]

Yep , could be , but I've tried first two and didn't worked :(
It gave me error and disconnected RB :(
Maybe there is a special place , a special location where to be placed these parameters within code box.....
Atak ,could you enlighten us?

Thanks !

@hoju3508

Have you tested them ???
I don't know why it gaves me error :(

[hoju3508]

@benjyv, I've stopped tweaking the x264 options and started using this 1080p/i example (http://www.x264bluray.com/home/1080i-p) as a custom profile and it looks pretty good to me.

You can find the original discussion here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=154533).

[klopsknoedel]

@hoju3508
could you please upload your profiles? i've tried to set them up on my own but i don't know which parameters to delete or which of them will be inserted by RipBot...

would be great if you could do so

[benjyv]

yep , @klopsknoedel is right , I'm also interested in a similar problem , but for a 720p encode...

Thanks hoju3508 !!!

[klopsknoedel]

@atak
do you have a documentation or anything similar which helps to create an own profile? or a dummy? as said, i don't realy know which parameters will be added to the command-line.

[hoju3508]

I have the following settings below in a file named "[HIGH 4.1] BD9 . Veryslow . Film.txt" in the Profiles directory. This came from Authoring a professional Blu-ray Disc with x264 (http://www.x264bluray.com/home/1080i-p) 1080i/p example.

--preset veryslow --tune film --bluray-compat --vbv-maxrate 15000 --vbv-bufsize 15000 --level 4.1 --keyint 24 --slices 4 --aud --sar 1:1

where --preset can be:

Values available: ultrafast, superfast, veryfast, faster, fast, medium, slow, slower, veryslow, placebo.

and --tune can be:

Values available: film, animation, grain, stillimage, psnr, ssim, fastdecode, zerolatency.

You can find more info on X264 Settings - MeWiki (http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings#qpstep).

The end result looks something like this:

Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=4 / deblock=1:-1:-1 / analyse=0x3:0x133 / me=umh / subme=10 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.15 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=24 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=2 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=-3 / threads=12 / sliced_threads=0 / slices=4 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=1 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=3 / b_pyramid=1 / b_adapt=2 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=1 / keyint=24 / keyint_min=13 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=24 / rc=2pass / mbtree=1 / bitrate=12367 / ratetol=1.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=0 / qpmax=69 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / vbv_maxrate=15000 / vbv_bufsize=15000 / nal_hrd=vbr / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:1.00

[klopsknoedel]

wow ... thanks a lot ... that helps!!

[jandor]

Does anybody see importance in that?

We know there are many ways to do this separately...
I asked to Atak, if he could create a function MUX (video and audio) for RipBot.
Normally I use this function to replace an audio for other.
I speak of MUX with the conversion of audio, as well as the function "JUST MUX" of StaxRip.
I refer to MUX videos of MKV and MP4. As well as the RipBot allows to maintain the audio, which could maintain also a video.

Summarizing: That he could maintain the video and to convert or to exchange only the audio.
At the moment, if I want to remain with the original video stream, I need to extract before through MKVExtractGUI2, tsMuxerGUI, Yamb, etc.
And then to use the MKVMerge or Yamb to obtain a MKV and MP4, respectively.


More...
The user Soneca had the idea, and it commented with me...
Naturally, that does not change anything for those who already have English as the standard language.
The solution for some devices that do not activate the subtitles automatically.
Create the option to "The subtitles will be activated by default"...
Only for the encoding AVCHD.

[benjyv]

@jandor

There IS such an option !!!!!
Watch carefully at the begining , when starts scaning...

[klopsknoedel]

maybe change the "Subtitles on" to "Force subtitle" to set this flag for MKV and M2TS - Files. That's an option i defenatly miss.

[jandor]

@benjyv
@klopsknoedel

Correction:

It would be like "Forcing subtitle", "Turn subtitle on"... "Selected forced".
Only for the encoding AVCHD.

[LigH]

@ hoju3508 & klopsknoedel:

Today you would probably just select "Blu-ray" as Target Playback Device for compatibility (uses the option "--bluray-compat"), select speed preset and content tuning, and done. That makes a lot of options implicit.

__________________

OK , I understood this !!!!
My issue is : if I wanna modify some of these parameters , at the begining , before starting encode , WHERE can I find this code box , or WHERE can I enter to sett up my own parameteres ???

In the above exemple that "code box" or "encoding settings" we can find at the end of operation.

How about to show us smb the location where everyone can change parameteres as per own wish , before starting encode ???

Or at least tell us where to place such parameteres just for tests !!!!

@Atak

I've already tried many times !!!!!

locating these parameters within code box

cabac=1 / ref=4 / deblock=1:-1:-1 / analyse=0x3:0x133 / me=umh / subme=10 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.15 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=24 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=2 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=-3 / threads=12 / sliced_threads=0 / slices=4 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=1 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=3 / b_pyramid=1 / b_adapt=2 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=1 / keyint=24 / keyint_min=13 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=24 / rc=2pass / mbtree=1 / bitrate=12367 / ratetol=1.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=0 / qpmax=69 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / vbv_maxrate=15000 / vbv_bufsize=15000 / nal_hrd=vbr / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:1.00

results an error every time !!! Why ???

The code box you've showed us has NOT enough room to receive ALL those parameters and as I already told , results ERROR !!!

No problem , if you don't wanna tell us that fabulous secret we'll limit our activity with RB at those few parameters :(

@ benyjv

I usually am not a complainer at all but it seems to me you want to add and do all this other stuff that ripbot wasn't entirely intended for. If you want to do all the other scripts and parameters and change things around why are you not using a more in depth GUI like megui? The whole point of ripbot is for more of us lamens who don't care about such settings and want a more simplistic GUI to work with. Personally I find your constant questions rather annoying and I'm not even the developer. I can't imagine how he feels.

[7ekno]

that ripbot wasn't entirely intended for.

Custom commandlines have always been a feature, but dim wits that think a MediaInfo / SEI data dump is the correct commandline format for x264 are complete tools ...

@benjyv you probably have no clue what I said, so here it is for you simplified:

The data in your code box is an INFORMATIONAL FORMAT only, the custom commandline field in Ripbot requires commands in the STANDARD X264 COMMAND LINE FORMAT ...

If that is still not simple enough for you, here is an example:

There is NO SUCH COMMAND as decimate = 1, it is written in the custom commandline box as --no-dct-decimate, furthermore, x264 commands are NOT separated by / characters, they are separated by <Space> and written in a way that -- precedes each parameter ...

Spend a little time understanding the process rather than requiring every simple little detail spoon fed to you ...

7ek

[pacaveli211]

might I add that anyone who needs to be doing overly in depth stuff with x264....might consider just using x264 directly
that's right, you can use x264 all by itself! =)

[dbart]

when i turn on support for dxva for h.264 in ffdshow, there is an error in encoding (avisynth). will it work in future ?

mostly i reencode recordings from sat with CQ=24 ( very often with noise filtering ). with SD stuff the quad-core CPU is busy almost on 99 %. with HD stuff (H.264) it's only 65-85 %. I think, that x.264 is waiting for data from avisynth. encoding frame rate is ~ 3 fps, core quad 2.5 GHz, XP PRO 32bit, 6 GB RAM ( i'm preparing to switch to 64-bit Win7, but PC is still working without problems more than 3 years and I'm enough lazy ;)

[pacaveli211]

how old / slow is it?

How about a nice update with the latest codecs?
There are a lot of improvement's in the latest x264 and many codecs, and why not make Ripbot the tool with the latest Updates at all?

You can update these yourself if you feel you are missing something from the latest codecs

I would agree the only thing that would be good is to have access to the latest device profiles offered by x264 in ripbot.

[klopsknoedel]

Hi guys ... i have a big problem. Everytime I try to denoise while encoding my computer crashes immediatly (sometimes after a while). I'm running Windows 7 x64 (so DirectX11 is installed by default).

These are my PC-Specs.:
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1967533

Does anyone has an answer?

[LigH]

That will depend a lot on the kind of denoising function you use.

Just an example: It won't make much sense to wonder about an overheated CPU core if the denoising is GPU assisted (FFT calculations being externalized to the video decoder on graphic chipsets via DirectX).

Anyway, I hope your system is not overclocked.

[klopsknoedel]

Hi. My CPU and GPU are not overclocked and i don't reach any critical temperatures.
I use the "Denoise"-Dropdownbox inside RipBot. Doesn't matter if i choose ANIME or FILM.

[Atak_Snajpera]

3) Denoising does not work
Install latest DirectX 9.0c and graphic drivers

.......

[klopsknoedel]

That's the reason why i've said that i have Windows 7 x64 with DirectX11 preinstalled. If i try to install DirectX9c it says that i allready have the latest version.

[Atak_Snajpera]

If i try to install DirectX9c it says that i allready have the latest version.
I assume that you tried "latest" from jun.
http://www.filehippo.com/download_directx/

[pacaveli211]

DirectX9 and DirectX11 are separately used. it's not like you can just use 11 for everything that needs 9
and here's the actual MS link:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=8109

[klopsknoedel]

Hi,
thanks a lot. I haven't known that both versions can run parallel on a system.
I know those two links. I also found the DirectX9.0c Redistributable for Developers (which has done a perfect job the past years before Win7) but i was afraid about overwriting the DirectX11 - libraries with the old 9er ones.

So thanks for that!!

[samtroy]

Hello all,

I just tried this pretty cool program but I was shocked to find out that Ripbot264 can not include more than one audio track in an MKV file.

For all people outside of english speaking countries this feature is absolutely essential!

Are there any plans to include support for multi audio MKVs in the future?

[Atak_Snajpera]

The problem is me because I always prefer original soundtrack + subtitles. I never liked hong kong movies with english soundtrack...
