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

[Zorro70]

Hi atak

Why does ripbot insist on using avs2yuv 32bit on my 64 bit system

it uses x264.exe 64 bit. (windows7)

Would i have to use avisynth 64 bit to get avs2yuv 64 bit to work, if so that would be a step backward to 2.58 avisynth, which would be a step backwards in encode quality wouldnt it???


avs2yuv 32 bit keeps giving me memory leaks :-(

[Atak_Snajpera]

1) avisynth 64 bit is BUGY and very unfinished ;). Don't use it! Instead install this 2.6.0 MT x86 (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1568726#post1568726)
2) not all avisynth plugins used by ripbot are available in 64bits

avs2yuv 32 bit keeps giving me memory leaks :-(
are you using some insane filters/script like QMTC ?

[Zorro70]

ok il just leave it as it is, its not a big deal, and to answer your question i use no filters, just seems after a couple of months avs2yuv just starts eating memory, mostly when loading blu rays into it, but it creeps up slowly during encoding also.

infact it blue screens if i dont use memory cleaner to stop the ram usage at 80%, then it drops about 4gb of ram and goes back to normal, then creeps up again :-)

i have 8gb ram btw.

its probably my fault somehow, maybe installing drivers/ uninstalling programs , eventually messes something up, doesn't it always lol

[essential]

before starting encoding edit job1_MuxFiles.cmd

add this to command line

..\mp4box.exe" -inter 0 -tmp "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp" ...

This made a difference but didn't fix the issue. If I FF once or twice the video starts fine right away, but if you FF a few times in a row the original problem starts again. No idea but thanks for the effort/idea.

[igorgladunyak]

Hello everybody. How to know, how much bitrate is enough for the video?
Is there a program that can determine bitrate for video?

[Atak_Snajpera]

just use constant quality mode instead of 2 pass. optimal value for most users is 20. lower value means higher quality and larger size.

@essential
this could be a bug in firmware. contact with tech support.

Hey Atak_Snajpera, just wanted to quickly say thank you so much for the great work on RipBot264. I'm a huge fan!

I just have one question - is it possible to stop Windows (7 x64 Professional SP1) from going to sleep while it is running? I like it to sleep when it has finished, so ideally RipBot would prevent sleep while it was running, and then when it was finished Windows would sleep after the timeout set in Power Options. As an alternative, Windows sleep could be disabled and there could be a Sleep when finished checkbox next to the Shutdown when finished checkbox. Either would be awesome :D

Once again thank you very much for this great app, you're awesome. Donation on its way :)

Off topic question Atak_Snajpera maybe you know where can I download Blu Ray disc this polish movie Katyń (2007)

Downloading a bluray disc illegally is not supported by doom9! Now if the movie was given freely, I do not know.

[Shrekage]

Hi Atak,

any chance you can add batch encode to AVCHD? manually changing from MKV to AVCHD for each file after batch preperation is becoming teadous...


@Shrekage
What happens in TeamViewer? Regarding server count. Max would be 8. To much copy-paste work ;)
?

I'll take 8 please...

it works in teamviewer, but I don't care much for teamviewer.

Teamviewer is not the same as RDP. Teamviewer is a bigger security risk, and while it works fine in teamviewer it also works fine sitting locally, and since teamviewer is a screen grabber, I would have expected that. RDP is native to Windows and does not show the screen while remote controlling it (or in the case of a server, you can have 3 people using/managing it at the same time with RDP.

Not to envoke a competitors name, but I went back to Handbrake to run a test.

Installed Handbrake 0.9.6 and converted to mp4 with CQ of 19.25 (because they removed target file size). Then installed Handbrake 0.9.5 and converted to mp4 with target file size 1400mb. In both instances cropping was off (cropping in Ripbot is far superior) but neither resulting mp4 had the FF issue with Boxee.

I then uninstalled everything from my system, Handbrake and all tools Ripbot uses, restarted and reinstalled the tools Ripbot uses, and converted to mp4 again, and resulting file had FF issues.

My next step is i'm going to try an older version of Ripbot or possible manually merge all VOBs so it's just one large file for Ripbot to deal with. Just an update since the HB mp4's dont have an issue it has to relate to Ripbot somehow, just for general information.

[Atak_Snajpera]

you could try remuxing with latest ffmpeg.exe

ffmpeg.exe -i video.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -scodec copy newvideo.mp4

[Medality]

Hi Atak !

I'd like to automatically launch RipBot at a given time and tell it to start encoding. I could schedule a Windows Task for this, but I don't know if there's a special command for RipBot that will tell him to start encoding as soon as it is launched.

Is this possible ?

As always, thanks for doing such a great app :).

[Atak_Snajpera]

why do you need to start encoding at specific time?

[Medality]

I'd like my computer to automatically start encoding while I'm at work. I sometimes forgot to start RipBot before I go to work, and sometimes I can't because my girlfriend is sleeping (my computer is not very quiet, if you know what I mean...).

[flebber]

) +1 if anyone knows this. This is the reason I do use ripbot on my XP pc as my windows7 laptop sleeps during encoding

[omegaman7]

Change your power scheme. Laptop or not, that should correct it.

[ChrisBirkett]

Change your power scheme. Laptop or not, that should correct it.

Power scheme settings can be used to disable sleep entirely, but for people (like me) who want it to sleep when it's done, the trouble is that the timeout counter starts at end of user interaction i.e. when the Start button is pushed and encoding starts, not when it ends.

I'm wondering if we can leave our timeouts at 15 minutes or something sensible like that, and Ripbot adjust its thread execution state to prevent sleep while it is encoding? This would be extremely useful, though as I say a "Standby when finished" checkbox next to the shutdown one would be good as well :)

[omegaman7]

My apologies. I was speaking to Flebber. His jobs are apparently not finishing, because windows 7 on his laptop, likes to sleep during encode. There are ways of bypassing this. No doubt Flebber is connected to AC current. Obviously a battery would not fair to well on an encode job LOL!

My electrical bill is trivial. My computer doesn't consume much more than a 150 - 200W light bulb. I leave it on 24/7. I'm a firm believer that hot cold hot cold hot cold is not good for electrical components. A light bulb for instance would likely last longer if left on. Obviously this isn't practical in most situations ;) Engines are the same way. They prefer to run.

I would 100% agree with you - if having my desktop on at night didn't sound like having my ears vacuum cleaned. Small exaggeration :D I'd be interested to hear if Atak thinks standby-on-finish might be a useful feature for a future release.

[ShogoXT]

So just to recheck a few things:

Ripbot is just so well done all around I cant see myself using other GUIs for various reasons, but if I wanted multi stream audio I would have to get some kind of remuxer right?

As well for console compatibility I will need to use mp4 container with AAC audio right? Thats fine with me, but I noticed there is no simple way to convert subs from bluray to mp4 without having to recheck each line for spelling errors. Oh well that one isnt important as im more interested in multi audio.

If im using mp4 I cannot use mkvtoolnix right? What muxer would work for mp4? As well is there a way to make ripbot do just audio without me having to stop it? Or is there a easier and more consistent way I can encode audio like ripbot does and add it to the mp4 along side the normal audio stream. (It would most likely be commentary).

Thanks for your hard work. :)

[flebber]

@ShogoXT
What type of console are you referring to?

[rc71]

Can you have ripbot text me when it's done? I just want to know for no freaken reason what so ever!!! :eek::eek::eek:

[soneca]

RipBot264 v1.17.1 :cool:

[howzz]

i have a quick question to the arthur in regard to CQ. what's the equivalent CQ value to a 2-pass 10Mbps encode setting. i hate waiting for the 1st pass in two pass encode. and i would like to achieve roughly the same quality as 10Mbps 2pass encode with CQ.

thanks so much for this awesome software

[jandor]

I too would like to second this.

I registered here a few weeks ago to search this thread for "Sleep", and there have been numerous requests to have a "sleep when finished" option in addition to the "shutdown when finished" option. Other forum members have dismisssed this saying that windows already has a sleep timer which fulfills this requirement.

But those members must not understand that Windows sleep timers are based on User inactivity and not program inactivity.

Programs which spend long periods of time doing work without user activity (encoding software, media players etc) need to tell Windows not to sleep, and RipBot does not do this. Thus, as several people have pointed out now, if you've got your computer set to sleep in 15 minutes, the computer goes to sleep 15 minutes after you've clicked "Start" in Ripbot and walked away...

I personally do not mind which method is added to RipBot - whether it's the "sleep when finished" option, or whether RipBot starts telling Windows "not to sleep" until all the jobs in the queue have finished. Either way, I believe RipBot would be all the better for it if Atak_Snajpera could add one or the other - especially in this day and age of rising energy costs and various countries introducing "carbon taxes" etc.


Other than this missing feature, I'd like to say a huge thanks to Atak_Snajpera for all your work with RipBot, it's truly an excellent program. I'm especially excited to see that it's just been updated today and includes distributed encoding for MKVs now too.

Cheers :)

Awesome! Glad to see it's part of v1.17.1 that was released yesterday.

Thanks heaps for your great work.

So I have a movie I ripped a while back with DvdFab and I did not rip the subtitles as I never use them.

All my VOB files are sitting in the Video_TS folder.

I unzipped Ripbot v1.17.1 to a directory and then ran it with Admin privs (Win 7 Pro).

I start the process and it combines the VOBs fine, then it indexes the video, it then starts to demux subtitles.

At this point I get an error:

"C:\Temp\Ripbot264Temp\job1\subtitles.idx. The system cannot find the specified file"

I first tried setting setting ConvertSUPtoSUB=0 and then commenting it out, but get the same error with two movies (previously ripped with DvdFab) on multiple attempts.

I will probably never use subtitles, can I just disable this part or is there just a file / program I need to add?

Did a search on the forums and google and could not find anyone else reporting the same error.

Thanks!

I got the same error on a DVD that never had subtitles in the first place. Got around it by turning the DVD to MKV and then running the latest ripbot on it.

[Atak_Snajpera]

update SeparateDVDsubs.exe
http://www.mediafire.com/?ezl5mucjmaklrka

[mattmc97]

i really don't understand why you have to damage original dvd structure? how many mb can you save? probably not many.

I guess I was just thinking of it more practically. DVDFab show a check mark next to subtitles, and since I never use them, I figure why have them there? I guess it is text and size may be negligible, but they are already gone at this point.

So is there any way to put a dummy file in there or bypass the subtitles?

I would think so as the file structure of the tools directory seems that you are chaining many different programs together to create the MP4 file.

UPDATE: The updated SeparateDVDsubs seemed to fix it, I am all the way to the first pass now. THANKS!

[Zorro70]

Hi atak, i think i already know the answer to this but here goes.

i have a linux server i rent online, is it possible to use that in distributed encoding, or does it have to have windows on it??

like i say im sure it does as ive already tried it, and it didnt work :-(


shame

[Atak_Snajpera]

user shrekage might have more experience in that matter. also using de mode via internet will require good connection speed. at least 25mbps (upload) for just one remote server.

[rc71]

The newest version look interesting. Can't wait to try the 10bit option. Thanks.

-- Update --
Bug Report.

When loading up a DVD to encode, I get a Subtitle.idx file can not be located error and then Ripbot just sits there "Demuxing Subtitles" The exact files doesn't give this problem with the previous version. I personally don't care about subtitles. Just FYI.

It's doing it on all my DVD encodes.

SeperateDVDsubs
Cannot open file "C:\temp......\job1\subtitiles.idx." The system cannont find the file specified.

Any Suggestions????

@Atak_Snajpera
I didn't know you worked on MediaInfo. I love that program.

Thanks for the reply, i couldnt get it to work, but i guess linux is the problem, like i said i didnt really expect it to without windows being on the server.


i have 100/10 meg broadband btw :-)

shame i cannot utilise distributed on the linux server, if anyone can get it to work please pm me :-)

Hey Atak,

Thanks for this awesome update of Ripbot264.
The dvd subtitle extraction was about the only thing i was missing in it.

Now onto the error or bug.

When I load Copycat into ripbot and it starts extraccting the subtitles i get and error.

java.lang.NullPointerException
deadbeef.Tools.ToolBox.getWord(ToolBox.java:215)
deadbeef.SupTools.SubDVD.readSubFram(SubDVD.java:991)

deadbeef.SupTools.Core.readVobSub(Core.java:1283)
BDSup2Sub.main(BDSup2Sub.java:823)


I get this error a few times and i click ok and it finishes extracting the rest of the subtitles.

I've tried both the original SeperateDVDSubs.exe and your updated one.

Don't know if it's RipBot or some other culprit in this case.


Cheers Trayman

problem with m2ts is that it requires user's interaction. you have to select correct playlist , audio.
