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

[Ronski]

Hi Atak, could you add the option to sleep when finished encoding, or even just the option to run a BAT file will suffice please?

Can't use the Sleep when idle option in W7, as MS can't seem to work out that 4 cores running at 100% is not idle, and it just goes to sleep whilst encoding, so i have to disable sleep when using Ripbot.

[squezer]

Hi, Atak,

thx for you work at first.
Please, why is ripbot v1.17 auto-renaming my Sony camcorder´s files from "anything.m2ts" to just "video.mkv" ?
Before it worked as expected from test1.m2ts to test1.mkv, test2.m2ts to test2.mkv etc...
I have usually 16 files from one recorded miniDVD, its boring to rename them back manualy.
Could you fix it for me, please?

[JimmyK814]

Jimmy,I'll be interested to hear how you get on , I don't use home group either and have a Windows home server 2011, which is on 24/7 so old like to make use of it for distributed encoding overnight.

I'm excited to get it working. I imagine there are higher priorities right now, especially if it's working for non-domain people just fine. I'm quite grateful for the wonderful piece of software. I don't mind being patient and waiting for a while. :D

@Chudz, it did re-encode your source.

[hoju3508]

@james2432, that's correct. RipBot demuxes the audio, subtitles and video out into individual files for re-encoding. You can use mkvmerge to combine them again into a mkv container if that's what you want.

BTW, MPC-HC plays mkv with .sup files without any problems. I'm not sure about media players like Dune or Popcorn Hour.

[soneca]

The Dune HD plays perfectly subtitles(.sup) embedded in the mkv created with RipBot.

I'm using the latest update from January 20th, to encode both Last Man Standing and Last Boy Scout:
http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Last-Boy-Scout--and-Last-Man-Standing-Blu-ray/10754/#Review

Both use the VC-1 encodes. Both have pix-elated corruption every minute or so. I'm rolling back to 1.16.5 to encode these.

Is there any information I can provide to help solve the issue with this?

Thanks Ryushin for testing that. I have been meaning to try it for days now, but just been too busy.

[Atak_Snajpera]

can you upload 10 min sample (video.mkv from temp folder) to www.mediafire.com. zip file into smaller chunks because mediafire may reeject one huge file.

I did not realize that depositfiles.com download was so awful. I won't use them again. Let me know if you want to download it directly from my server. It only has a 896kb uplink though.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I told you to use www.mediafire.com... Download speed is limited to 100 KB/s so I will get your file in 5h ;)

[Ryushin]

Yea, I know. I just didn't want to chop it up into 8 pieces and upload them one at a time. I thought I was doing something good by finding a site that allow 2GB files. I thought wrong. :o

[QUEENFAN]

Hello,

which profile would you prefer for encoding DVD-series like "Dexter" to mkv?

In the past I used [MAIN 4.0] HD but I can't hardly see any difference in the resulting files compared to [MAIN 3.0] SD, both with CQ 20 which produces smaller mkv's.

Any suggestions?

[duramaximus]

Can anyone tell me how to encode a movie in 5.1 surround MP4 and be able to play on my XBOX360?

The only way I can get it to play is in Stereo 2 channel and not 5.1 :(

[Atak_Snajpera]

Ask M$ ...

[squezer]

Please,

same input filename, different output filename v1.16.5 vs 1.17...

[Ryushin]

I'm a bit confused why the distributed part is not working right now. I'm running the latest code from the 20th. I just finished four encodes using 16.5 to finish up the VC-1 encodes.

I'm starting encoding the entire blu-ray series of Lost. 36 blu-ray discs (yea me :( )
According to Blu-ray.com, it's encoded in 1080i AVC.

The queue was completely empty. I just put the first disc in the queue. Queued up the four episodes. Told it to start, but it's encoding only by itself and not through the distributed tool. I've tried stopping and starting it a few times to no avail. So I'm at a bit of a loss. It was working a couple of days ago. Any ideas?

Edit: It started working again. Cue Twilight Zone Theme

[gav1577]

Atak would it be possible to use DirectShowSource / ffdshow with distributed encoding? There are somethings i prefer to use ffdshow for.

[duramaximus]

Ask M$ ...

What would be your suggestion to encode a bluray to a format under 4GB and keeping 5.1 surround so I can play it on my xbox360?

Thanks

[Ryushin]

The "Starting..." problem is still occurring as of the January 20th code. Is there anything I can provide when this happens to help?

The xbox360 does not support 5.1 sound using h.264. Only WMV files are supported with 5.1 sound. If you want to use h.264, it's stereo only with the 360. There are lots of threads on the Internet that spell this out.

My suggestion is to buy a Western Digital Live Media Hub and watch anything you like at that point. The 360 is not a very good media playback device.

I found that this problem can be caused if a profile cmd is not correct. Not saying its your problem but worth checking if you have added anything to your cmd.

Have not changed anything in the profile cmd. In fact, I never new you could. I'll take a look at it. I could learn more about what Ripbot264 is doing.

[Atak_Snajpera]

by the way I encoded your 10 min sample without any corruption...

UPDATE: I got corrupted frames with denoising filter enabled but without everything is fine!

@squezer
change extension from .m2ts to .mts

Yea, I've been using the denoising filter a lot lately. Some of my blu-ray sources are just awful. The Dragon Tattoo Trilogy was shot in 16mm.

[squezer]

@squezer
change extension from .m2ts to .mts

OK, the filename stays that way, but subtitles (timecode from camcorder) are lost...
Subtitles are not extracted from *.mts file to jobX folder.

[Atak_Snajpera]

can you upload 50 mb sample to www.mediafire.com

I am a huge fan of Ripbot, and recently updated to 1.17.0.

2 questions:-

Can't for the life of me figure out how, and what is really the use for the distributed encoding...........:o

And also, checking the shutdown box, no longer works for me, I had it checked after I had installed 1.17.0, which should have turned the pc off approx 1 am, but to my annoyance, it was still idling along at 7 am, so it had be on unnecessarily, for 6 hours, it had finished all the encodes, but didn't turn off :(

Might have to go back to 1.16.5...no problems with that version.

Cheers

[Ronski]

There was a bugfix update that cured this problem, there may be another bugfix update newer than the one below, have a look back over the last few pages.

I'd like a sleep option, others have also asked, but we get no feed back at all!

PS Distrubuted encoding allows you to make use of multiple computers on your home network, therefore decreasing encoding time. As to the how, the video guide is only half the instructions, you need to have the encoding server running on the other PC.

Added: MKV can also be used in Distributed Encoding Mode.
Changed: 1 min chunks for CQ mode instead of 10 min
Fixed: not working 'Shutdown when Finished'
Fixed: error message in batch mode. Broken video file will be automatically discarded
Fixed: EncodingClient was using Domain-Name instead of Computer-Name
Fixed: Incorrect number of frames between passes in Distributed Encoding. Now number of frames in last chunk will be limited according to stat file
Fixed: corruption at the begining of the chunk. (Encoding Client will first analyze video and then prepare chunks according to I-Frame (key frame) position.)

[JimmyK814]

Jimmy,I'll be interested to hear how you get on , I don't use home group either and have a Windows home server 2011, which is on 24/7 so old like to make use of it for distributed encoding overnight.

Still no luck. I've been trying to get this to work non-stop a little each day. Even though there is mention in one of the fix releases of the domain name changed to computer name, my version of the encodingserver.exe insists on using the domain name instead of the computer name. I've verified and re-verified I have the fixed version of the encodingclient.exe and the RipBot executable. I've also recreated a job from scratch with the new versions.

I've been trying to point the call for the domain to a share on the server hosting the domain with some "trickery" but it won't work.

I feel like I'm 99% there, but this one glitch is preventing me from having any fun with this! :confused:

[rc71]

I just want to publicly thank ATAK for the new version. I will hit my 4,000th encode in a day or so. I could NEVER have done it without the batch mode and the 25fps -> 23.976 correction. BTW, I'm having much FEWER sync problems with new audio codec.

[Ryushin]

I could not figure out how to do batch encodes for the ripped blu-rays I have on the hard drive. I'm doing the 123 episodes of the Lost TV Series right now. It would be nice to have RipBot batch convert every video on the disk that is greater then a certain time, with certain settings. Like CQ, Subtitles, Denoise, etc. As it is, I'm adding each episode one at a time.

Hi Ronski,

Thanks heaps for the "bugfix" link :)

I'll have to try and figure out how the encoding server thing works.

[HouseCat]

Im trying to rip a 720p 50fps episode of top gear to be played back on my ipad2.
The problem is when its finished the ripped video doesnt playback correctly. the video plays back too fast and the audio is out of sync.On both media player classic and the ipad2 itself.
I tried both single and 2 pass on ipad present.

Hi Atak,

when I add a job, select as output filename "testöäü.mkv", the name of the file is "test÷õ³.mkv". BTW, I´m using german Windows.

My job1_MuxFiles.cmd:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\RipBot264\tools\mkvtoolnix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "D:\testöäü.mkv" --compression 0:none --title "testöäü" --default-duration 0:25fps "D:\temp\RipBot264temp\video.264" --compression 0:none --language 0:ger --aac-is-sbr 0:1 "D:\temp\RipBot264temp\audio.aac"

The problem is, the job1_MuxFiles.cmd is saved in ANSI, but should be saved in DOS Codepage. I edited the job1_MuxFiles.cmd with EDIT from MS-DOS, saved, doubleclick and voilà, the filename is testöäü.mkv.

[Ryushin]

Another Error:

Exception EInvalidPointer in module EncodingClient.exe at 00002B04.
Invalid pointer operation.

This occurred right when the job had finished and it had combined the pieces together. After clicking the Okay for the Error, it then starting Muxing.

[Alfeuss]

I tried searching the thread to no avail so I'll ask it here. Is any one else getting corrupt aac file when ripbot264 demuxes? I added like 44 files using batch mode, and I checked each job folder, and all the aac files would not play.......well I thought I would check and the same thing happens when extracting the aac via YAMB. The source file plays fine. Any gurus out there have any idea whats up? TIA

I'm assuming you've done the standard update FFshow stuff? If you haven't that may solve your problem. That being said, what are you converting them from? In the past I've had horrific problems with AC3 -> AAC, which apparently isn't that uncommon. When that happens I have to break down and get out MeGUI. That tool using NeroAAC which I find usually solves my sound issues. Usually. Ironically, check out my post that follows...

[rc71]

I have a small sound problem. I have 12 files with dual audio. About half have no problem, but the other half have NO sound when encoded. Just for kicks I've tried both tracks and no sound. The file that is produced says there is a sound file, but there is no sound. Even in the preview there is no sound. But the original source files all read the same. One track is AC3 6 ch and the other is AC3 2 ch, but again no sound in the encoded file. Needless to say the originals seem fine. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[Atak_Snajpera]

are you encoding from .ts?

This is very similar to my problem. I'am trying to recode for android. source is mp4 avc/aac 6 ch. yes i have lastest ffdshow.
The no audio, in my case, comes from when ripbot264 demuxs the source. If you check the working directory and try to play the demuxed file there is no sound. ripbot264 encodes this 'blank' file ending up with a video file with no sound yet it does contain an audio track.

I'm about to start doing Battlestar Galactica from blu-ray. Seasons 1 and 3 are VC-1 and 2 and 4 are AVC. I'll start with seasons 2 and 4 until you have figured out what is causing denoising to cause VC-1 encoding corruption.

Thanks again. The new distributed encoding is an incredible feature of ripbot264 and I really appreciate it.
