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

[guest]

Added: AVI, MP4 and MKV can also be used in Distributed Encoding Mode.

I was using DE the other night, and I had a few jobs queued up, (not in a batch) and when it came to convert an .avi to AVCHD, and an .mpg to .mkv, it reverted back to "normal" encoding.

Am I missing something ???

[slalom]

How can I enable 10bit encoding?
In .ini I haven't seen a switch.
Check the options under profile

BTW I did some 10bit encoding and the colors are all wrong, somehow distorted. There are artifacts here and there, D.E. was not used.
Why did that happen?

[Atak_Snajpera]

update your player. works fine on mpc-hc + ffdshow

where do you see mpg as supported input format in de mode?

[slalom]

problem fixed with update of mpc-hc, thanks

That's just it, I don't see it being supported.

Do you plan to support it in upcoming version's ??

[woecarlson]

Hopefully this is just a really stupid/obvious question, but I have sampled this today with producing a few MKV files. Unfortunately, after I run them through the tsMuxer to make Blu-ray folders for burning the video comes out PAL instead of NTSC. Is there a setting I can change to flip it out of PAL mode?

Thanks!

[woecarlson]

Upon further review, turns out the source file was the culprit (PAL). Now my question is...is there way either through RipBot or other software to convert the source file from PAL to NTSC?

i've just updated to 1.17.1 and noticed, that the denoise filter has changed.
are there any recommendations which values to set for "mono noise" and "color noise"?
i know, the best way is try and find out, but if you could get me just a range to start experimenting with, would be helpful.
for what kind of movie do you use which settings?

[Atak_Snajpera]

you decide how much denoising is needed for your movie.

I denoise most of my blu-ray movies, with the exception of the cleanest sources, denoising helps with the compression a lot. My personal preferences with expected size ratio:

I run most everything on CRF 20. Exceptions would be absolutely pristine sources that don't need any denoising at all. I aim for about 5-6 GB per 2 hour movie in 2.35:1 aspect ration. 1.85:1 should be about 20% larger or so due to it having more data.

On good sources with only a bit of noise, I'll usually just run 2 and 2. Slightly noiser, 4 and 4. Once a source has a lot of grain, I may be in 4 and 6, or 6 and 8. I've only had once to go with 10 and 12 due to a old Clint Eastwood western.

When there is a bunch of grain, it's best to leave the Mono two points down from the Chroma. HQDN3D can actually take four values in input, and it will analyze adjacent frames to try and take out the noise. Atak is right about the temporal options of 3 and 4 will start to cause a weird ghosting on some sources.

A few pages ago I posted what I found out about HQDN3D. It's a very high quality and powerful filter. I also provided links so you can read up on it. Please see this link to the post:

thanks for that information!
that's just what i was looking for!
saved me a lot of time trying.

you are joking right?
Check the options under profile


Thanks, misunderstanding created by separate exe files of x264 (8bit and 10bit).
So I thought, there must be somewhere a switch to choose one of them (like 64bit settings which are in ini, so my my thoughts were consequent).
Didn't know that that is recognized over profile settings too (my knowledge was, that these settings are only passed to exe without further parsing).

[BigM]

can you tell me what's causing this error? i've updated from 1.17.0 to 1.17.1 yesterday. before i've never had that error. job was created with 1.17.1.
I've searched the forum for this error, but haven't found any like this since the release of 1.17.1.
i have already successfully encoded one movie, so it might as well be a problem with the source-files. i will check them with 1.17.0 again.
but perhaps you already know what's the problem.
what stands that second value "0%" anyway? haven't seen this second value before.

Recreated the job with 1.17.1 again, tried two more times, got the error again but now at 8%:

film grain is mainly monochromatic so why do you also use chroma filtering? color noise is more prevelant in digital cameras.

I did not know that. Learn something new every day.

[Ryushin]

But are not the new movies filmed with digital recorders? What are you thoughts then. Chroma will can make banding. I guess it would be best just to run a few test runs, with Chroma and without.

[Lighto]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, I have been experiencing avisynth stack overflow errors recently with the scripts generated by RipBot.
I have looked through the scripts generated but found nothing fishy.

The error mainly occurs when I attempt to do multiple seeking through the script during preview with resize and hardsub options.
In the past, the video will freeze awhile before playing as per normal when I seek.
Now, the avisynth stack overflow error message will appear in MPC after multiple seeking of the script.

I need some advise as of what could be the cause of it.
Encountered the error with the MPC included in RipBot package with avisynth 2.5.8.5/2.6 MT(2.6.0.3).

TIA! :)

Solution:
Reinstall avisynth!
I guess playing around with QTGMC and avisynth 2.6MT screwed up something.

film grain/noise is added in post proccess . look at 300 movie.

[Ryushin]

I hate it when they do that. It's like they take this great looking movie, and then destroy it. They did the same with Miami Vice. Why using a new medium and purposely add the flaws from the old medium that it replaced. Some people are way to attached to grain.

[PlayoffBeard]

I recently did a rip of a movie, and used auto crop, custom [x:xx;1] and I did a couple others and it never happened, but there's points fduring the movie where under the "frame" it goes purple (and I've seen green once). I re did it 2 or 3 times, and it keeps doing it... Any ideas what caused this?

I even went and checked the source, although confident it wasn't there, and it was not...

How to update x264 in RipBot264?

[soneca]

Rename the new version and replace...

[christiebunny]

I love the fact that Ripbot264 handles multiple subtitles - although I wish it'd preview blu-ray SUP subs so I can tell what language each is :p

Is there ANY plans to support multiple audio tracks as well, please?

[Atak_Snajpera]

select subtitles under permanent subtitles and then click preview. this is how i do it.

[BigM]

Any suggestions for my problem, yet?

[Atak_Snajpera]

search for ripbot 1.17.2 beta

[Zorro70]

Hi ATAK.

Any thoughts on adding the option to encode 3d SBS (side-by-side) or all other 3d options?
like BDtoAVCHD v1.7.7 has recently added?

( i know im asking a lot) ;-)


I have no idea how difficult or easy that would be for you, but it would be fantastic mate!!!!

I already have my own command line profiles for avchd so want to keep using ripbot , rather than your competitors poor in built encode settings :D


Either way thanks for keeping ripbot going, its amazing!!!!

[sreemv]

Is Virtualdub's frameserver "*.avi" supposed to work with Ripbot264? Tried 4 different versions of Ripbot and all of them failed with the same error:

"Cannot playback the file. The format is not supported"

[Atak_Snajpera]

make sure that uncompressed video decoders are enabled in ffdshow

[MaistroX]

Second Zorro70's request, would be awesome!!! :)

[sreemv]

I tried both "ffdshow-->VFW Configuration -- Decoder" as well as "ffdshow --> Video Decoder Configuration - Decoder" to support "RAW Video-- all supported" - Ripbot still cant open the "avi" from virtualdub's frameserver - any help would be appreciated.

Hello
I have a problem with Ripbot264 1.17.1

When I open a video file, or if I change the audio piste, Ripbot264 shows "gathering information" during a very long time and block my PC.

I have ffdshow_rev4422_20120409 and Windows 7 64 bits.

Have you an idea to fix this , thanks ?

Is your firewall blocking it?

[apollon100]

No it's not the firewall.

Even if I desactivate this, the problem continu.

Thanks for your answers

[apollon100]

Issue resolved ! :rolleyes:

It's was probably a conflict with one of my other programs.
I have uninstall all and reinstall only ripbot264, java, avisynth, haali media spittler and ffdshow.

But I don't know what can occure this problem.

:thanks:

[jwjohnson]

I add a few titles (Blu Ray) to the RipBot queue (not batch mode). After each has done it's analyzing and demuxing I change the title of the output file (.mp4) and make sure my encoding settings are correct and select appropriate forces subs to be burnt in. When I press the Start button it sits on "Please Wait...." for a 45 minutes or more. I can't really see anything that the program is doing during this time. The appropriate job folder in the Ripbot Temp folder doesn't seem to change or get anything added to it. I've searched the thread and haven't really found any helpful info. I do not have normalize audio selected. I'm using WIndows 7 64 bit with an AMD phenom II x4 CPU at 3.0 GHz. I get between 10 and 14 fps when it is encoding. I am using distributed encoding with a couple of other machines. That gets me up to about 30 fps. But the "Please wait" is not effected by that and sometime just seems to go on forever. I would appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Do you re-encode audio? what audio codec did you select? Does this happen on other machines too?

[jwjohnson]

I'm encoding audio to AAC 128. As far as I can tell, I'm using the libavcodec. I installed it on a different machine. With a 1 hour 46 min Blu Ray it displayed "Please Wait..." for only about 5 minutes, then did the audio encode and then started the video encode. It's a slower machine so I'm only getting about 7 fps.
It looks like it's the install on my main machine. I think I'll delete everything and start over. I am running BD-Rebuilder on my main machine. I has switched to ffdshow 3882 for compatibility with that. I wonder if that is the issue. Before deleting everything, I'll go back to ffdshow 4422 first and see if that fixes things.

[fantasmanegro]

Does anybody knows if Batch mode auto rename files if destiny is source directory?...

[Atak_Snajpera]

yes. Btw. you can check yourself with some copied video test files to be sure.

[jwjohnson]

The program now seems to work better up to a point on my faster machine. The video encoding was going along fine up to about the 30% mark when I started getting these errors. I can't find a log file (It doesn't seem to create one until the process finishes), but maybe these messages will help figure out what's going on. Thanks for your help.

[solis0001]

I have no idea if this is even remotely possible:

I'd like to have an option to output in 3D AVCHD. I understand that it's possible to up/convert 2D AVCHD.
Is this something that can be incorporated into RipBot, or is this just a pipe dream?

It would be awesome.

[Atak_Snajpera]

3D image contains information for two eyes. (image is shifted for each eye) . Up converting 2D to 3D is like upconverting mono soundtrack to stereo. Impossible.

[Zorro70]

how about 3d blu rays to 3d avchd???

side by side would be nice for starters ;-)


New 2011 standards allow for steroescopic 3d avchd , time for an update???


can we also have the otion to use dual audio atak also

thanks mate!!!!

[MaistroX]

I Second The 3DBD to 3D mkv SBS! :)

[fantasmanegro]

for 2d to 3d you can use avisynth script... is arroud the net google it...

[nst6563]

Is there a reason that the HD tracks (DTS-HD and TRUEHD) tracks cannot be 'x-copied' like the standard AC3/DTS tracks? Why force the conversion of TRUEHD to FLAC?

Siema Atak

Just wanted to report that I keep having the issue when .ts file is loaded into ripbot and re-encoded audio always is out of sync. if i remux the TS into m2ts audio is fine.

All my files are .ts, and remuxing all files, is just really not convient.

I tried using the bath encoding and loaded bunch of .ts files all of them came out with audio out of sync.

so i tried to load m2ts files into bath and noticed that batch will not take m2ts files, instead it wants to mts files.

renaming m2ts to mts and loaded them into ripbot resulted with files with no audio.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Most likely video stream does not start from key frame. In this case you have three options:
1) remux to .m2ts
2) cut off everything before key-frame (I-Frame) in Transport Stream Packet Editor
3) manually adjust audio delay directly in ripbot264
