Atak, when u develop this application, ripbot264, what windows you are using to test it ??

[Atak_Snajpera]

Windows 7 x64 obviously :)

@perrymanku Please describe your steps so we can see if we can reproduce the problem or see if you do anything wrong.

[crackinhedz]

After adding an mkv to ripbot, is there any way to reencode the audio but leave the video and just pass it through? I want to change the audio but not the video in an mkv.
After your movie loads into ripbot, under the video "profile" select "Copy Stream", and under the Audio section just change to what you wish...Video stays untouched, audio is whatever you want.

Is this what you're asking?

[crackinhedz]

Sorry if this question has been asked and answered, I just notice for mkv there is now a CRF 16?!

Ive been using CRF 18 forever now, what is the advantage/disadvantage of 16? Obviously better quality, and possibly larger files?

[Atak_Snajpera]

lower crf = higher quality and larger file

[defalopii]

Stuck in Please Wait..Gather Information...
Using Windows 7 64 bit, All Latest update, RipBot using update from this http://www.mediafire.com/?5tdkdukadoyz8cs
Application is so buggy, tried on so many Windows and never get it working properly, XP 1,2,3, Server 2003 Standard, Enterprise, Server 2008 Standard, Enterprise, 32 and 64 bit, Windows 7 32 and 64 bit

[soneca]

I don't know if 320AAC actually contains more detail then 640AC3.
No way!
If you want to save space with quality, keeping the pattern that serves for you, go for the ac3(640kbps) from lossless sources.

[Trayman]

@defalopii It's impossible to help you solve the problem you have with RipBot when you don't tell us what you're trying to convert into what.
Since it's probably the source that's "corrupt" in some way and not RipBot that's buggy.


//Trayman

[DTS-HD MSTR]

The application works fine, running at the updated RipBot264 EncodingClient & EncodingServer version on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with no problems.

[Ryushin]

No way!
If you want to save space with quality, keeping the pattern that serves for you, go for the ac3(640kbps) from lossless sources.

Of course. The problem stems from the fact that I have already completed 2/3 of my blu-ray collection and those were done with AAC 320K 5.1. I either re-rip 400 or so blu-rays and convert the original audio to 640K AC3 or batch convert the current rips from AAC 320K to AC3.

My question was, does AAC 320K contain enough information to warrant 640K AC3 or if enough audio fidelity is already missing, would it be better to go with 448K AC3.

Atak's take on it was to use 640K AC3.

[Atak_Snajpera]

btw you can easily convert only audio track with ffmpeg

this script will convert ALL .mkvs in folder

save this script as aac2ac3640.cmd in notepad
for %%a in (*.mkv) do X:\patch\ffmpeg.exe -y -i "%%a" -vcodec copy -acodec ac3 -ab 640000 -scodec copy "X:\converted\%%~na.mkv"

In red color you have to specify valid paths

and then just drag and drop your first mkv on .cmd icon.

[Balthazar2k4]

Finally got back around to giving the Distributed Encoding feature a run now that most (all?) of the kinks have been worked out. I am using both my 3930k and 980x in tandem for some 12 core/24 thread action and I have found that I can finally encode movies slightly faster than realtime in most cases (26fps avg) using the Slower/Film presets @ 1080p. Pretty awesome really. I have gone back through and tried to spot check the output and do not see any frame problems yet. I am a bit nervous to finish out the rest of my BD collection with the DE option purely because I feel like I can't 100% trust the results. Has anyone had any frame issues (dupes, macroblocking) with the latest version of RB using the DE feature?

[Atak_Snajpera]

why not use also i5-2500k and i3-530 for extra speedup ;)

Regarding DE everything seems to be stable now. Splits are done on key-frames, decoder is set to use only 1 thread , FFMS2 developers fixed issues with vc-1 sources (http://code.google.com/p/ffmpegsource/issues/detail?id=84&can=1)

Sweet. Thanks for commenting Atak. As for the 2500k and 530 they are now on a Powerline network which is too slow for this purpose. Just moved into a new house, but it is a rental until we find something more permanent so no CAT 6 in walls until then :cool:

Also wanted to say that I have not had any hangups or stalled encodes which is fantastic. Atak you have done a really awesome job with this! Finally donated after all of these years. Should have done it a long time ago. Keep up the good work!

[Atak_Snajpera]

As for the 2500k and 530 they are now on a Powerline network which is too slow for this purpose.
but you can use some cheap router like mine TP-Link 1043ND (wi-fi N with 3 antennas). My speed between LAN PC and WiFi PC is around 120 mbps. it is enough even for 4 extra PCs.

[defalopii]

I am tried to use Denoise Filter by editing the avisynth

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\RipBot\Tools\AviSynth plugins\Convolution3DYV12.dll")
Convolution3D("movielq")

But RipBot cant preview or encode the video using that plugin while its work on MeGUI, is there anything wrong ??

[Balthazar2k4]

Really? The Powerline network gets between 50-150Mbps depending on which adapter I ping. I believe the one upstairs that the 2500k is on averages around 60Mbps. Do you think that is enough? I know doing straight line file copies feels very slow, so I assumed moving mass data for encoding might be equally painful.

I guess I could try it... I just need to build an encoding farm in my office (my wife would LOVE that)

[Atak_Snajpera]

it is simple.

let's assume that your BD movie has bitrate of 30mbps.
also it looks like that encoding speed for single pc is around 13fps (half of realtime)

So this means that one pc needs only 15mbps of your network bandwidth.

2 PCs will require 30mbps.

i5 will be obviously even slower.

(6core) ~15mbps + (6core) ~15 mbps + (4core) ~10mbps + (2core) ~2mbps ~ 40mbps total (estimated)

I guess I never thought about the fact that it will stream the data at the rate in which it consumes it over time as oppose to requiring a straight copy of the data at the onset which would be very slow. I'll try it and see.

Thanks again!

[defalopii]

thx atak its work, now how to add that script to avisynth in RipBot so i no need to add it manually everytime i encode a video ?

[Balthazar2k4]

Just to report back, dropped the 2500k in the mix and it gave me another ~7-9fps boost on the Slower/Film preset @ 1080p. Right now, I am encoding a 2.35:1 movie at ~36fps. Sweet!!

you should also show details from that error window.

[soneca]

My question was, does AAC 320K contain enough information to warrant 640K AC3 or if enough audio fidelity is already missing, would it be better to go with 448K AC3.

In this case I think is not worth converting to AC3 640.

can you repeat on other pc?

[Atak_Snajpera]

In this case I think is not worth converting to AC3 640.

448 kbps will only decrease quality more than 640kbps!

[soneca]

Had been converted from one source with losses...:scared: but the 640Kbps the result is actually better with little difference in the final file size.

[jwjohnson]

I get same results on my other machine. "avs2yuv.exe has stopped working" If I turn off Distributed Encoding it all works. I'm using the Full v1.17.1 download with the v1.17.2 beta copied over that and then your latest update for Encoding Client and Encoding Server.

EDIT**********

I had reinstalled all the files for RipBot264 a couple of days ago. I had not noticed that Atak had updated the 1st post to include a full version of v1.17.2. So I blithely downloaded it, assuming it was still v1.17.1, then applied the v1.17.2 beta patch over it. When I installed just the full v1.17.2 and then the latest (6/20) updates to Encoder Server and Encoding Client - it works just fine.

ARRGGHHH!!!!

After successfully encoding one small test file the same errors popped up on my next encode. I love the speed with distributed encoding, but for some reason it's just stopped working for me.




Jeff

[defalopii]

Hy atak, do you plan to add more server encoding ??
8 server encoding still not fill up my machine, on Dual Opteron 6272 its only eat CPU usage about 60% - 80% 1st pass, very slow preset, 1080p
And i am planning to test this Distributed Encoding to my 8x i7 2600K, so 12 - 20 server encoding will be good enough.

[Ryushin]

I am a bit nervous to finish out the rest of my BD collection with the DE option purely because I feel like I can't 100% trust the results. Has anyone had any frame issues (dupes, macroblocking) with the latest version of RB using the DE feature?

I'm running four servers right now with no issues without any problems. Only occasionally do I get a client that hangs the encode and I have to click on/off on that client for it to finish the job.

The only problem that I have seen is occasionally with burned in subtitles, I either see corruption of the subtitle itself so that is looks like a block of noise where the subtitle would be or the burned in subtitle for those set of words is missing all together.

All in all DE is fantastic. It's really the only way I'm going to even get all of my movies done in any reasonable amount of time.

[Ryushin]

btw you can easily convert only audio track with ffmpeg

this script will convert ALL .mkvs in folder

save this script as aac2ac3640.cmd in notepad

and then just drag and drop your first mkv on .cmd icon.

I had a problem once with FFMPEG having an issue with messing up the channels between one 5.1 to another. I think they got it sorted out in the latest version.

Do you by chance know how to pass the attached Poster.jpg's in ffmpeg? Because if I can have ffmpeg do it, I can just have a linux box just process the heck out of everything.

Can you confirm that crashing happens on ALL types of files?
.avi , .mp4 , .mkv , DVD , BD (h.264/mpeg2/vc1)

[jwjohnson]

I don't have all those sources available, but I have tried the ones I can. DVD's work fine. BD's (h.264 and mpeg2) work fine. I thought it was just VC1 that was causing the problems, but I found a couple other BD titles that have VC1 and they worked fine. I've narrowed it down to two BD's from the same manufacturer. "Scenic National Parks" the Yosemite and Grand Canyon discs to be specific. I notice that when RipBot264 is showing the available playlists it shows these as VC1 1080p60. If I look at them with BD-Info they show as 1080i 29.97 fps. Those two discs did work fine with DE disabled.

I'm at work now, so any further testing would have to wait until this evening.

Thanks.

Jeff

[Atak_Snajpera]

ffmpeg decoder does not support interlaced vc-1. it works in normal mode because ffdshow is set to use microsoft's vc-1 decoder instead of avcodec.

[jwjohnson]

Thanks. If I run across any more titles like that I'll just disable DE for them.

All in all DE is fantastic. It's really the only way I'm going to even get all of my movies done in any reasonable amount of time.

Thanks Ryushin for your input. Now that I know that burned in subs might be an issue, I will encode those titles on a single machine. Great to hear that DE is running well otherwise. I am knocking out encodes with great speed and it is a relief to know that I most likely won't have to do them all again because of errors.

[Balthazar2k4]

When processing MKVs with RipBot is there a way to skip the Demux Audio Stream step if you do not want to do any audio processing and do video only? It would speed things up considerably.

[defalopii]

Why ripbot desnt use adaptive bitrate for AAC audio profile, i though its more good quality than constant bitrate

[Atak_Snajpera]

because final file size in 2-pass mode couldn't be calculated/predicted.
