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

[defalopii]

I do not know if this happens only to me, or the others have same experienced.
If i encode a video using Distributed Encoding with CQ Mode, all 8 Encoding servers active, the video result always messed up.
Says when ripbot encode chunks from 1,2,3,4,5 than when it muxed the final result will be 1,3,2,4,5 or random.
As i can see, when using CQ Mode, ripbot produce hundreds of chunks while on 2Pass Mode its only teen chunks at max.
Maybe this is bug on ripbot when it Combining Chunks. ripbot maybe confusing when combine hundreds of chunks so cant combine it sequentially

[Atak_Snajpera]

exactly how many chunks? you say hundreds so this might be something above 300. win 7 or grandpa nt 5.x?

[defalopii]

its about 150 chunks
using win 7 64 bit
have tried many source, mp4, mkv, x264, h264, xvid, BluRay and DVD, all same the final result messed up.

My media player doesn't support proper playback of subtitles (I know it's my own personal limitation, but I'm sure it's a common flaw in a bunch of media players), and I don't want to lose video quality by burning them in directly. Is there any way to "burn in" forced subtitles to the video stream without spending the time commitment to re-encode which results in loss of quality (whether it's noticed or not)? I normally strive for 1:1 lossless quality on all my video/audio files but I can't seem to figure out how to do this when I need to include forced subtitles. It's a shame I have to re-encode a movie sometimes for just one or two lines of forced subtitles. If RipBot had a way to burn in subs without re-encoding the video that would make this a complete tool. Can it be done?

1 - 1:1 loosless quality is no achievable without a mega heavy bitrate, a "like original quality" meaning the differences are diffcult to notice, is meet with a CQ near 18 (i generally use 20 for 720p and 22-24 for 1080p)
Its like wanting to make your car lighter, you can get out the seats, doors, windows... but at a point it would be very difficule to shave weight ! => same thing to achieve 1:1 copy it's a "limit", mathematicaly speaking, that is very difficult to achieve. (well if your video is a white blank screen for an hour it can be easy to have it with a low bitrate .. :) )

2 - Mux the video stream, the audio stream AND the subtitle stream into an mkv container => look for mkvmerge => you can choose witch subtitle will be forced. What is your multimedia player ? Cause they work pretty well with subtitles in general... perhaps your subs are badly formated ..

I also just found that the audio and video on final result is out of sync

[Atak_Snajpera]

everything seems to be in order. Windows copy command is doing something wrong on your pc then.

[defalopii]

so what should i do, this always happen when using CQ Mode on Distributed Encoding

[poolshark2014]

I'm trying to convert some MKV files to MP4 for use on Xbox 360 Slim but was wondering if there was a way to make the audio encode higher than 128kbps 2 channel? The reason I ask this is because audio seems a bit soft at this bit rate and am used to using the higher audio bit rate of the PS3 encodes.The reason I want to encode for Xbox 360 rather than PS3 is due to some Movie files containing Cinavia which Xbox 360 doesn't detect. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. By The Way Ripbot is the only program I use and will probably ever use. I simply love how easy it is to use.

Perhaps the problem is elsewhere cause AAC 128kbps 2.0 is very difficult to distinguish from a higher bitrate (let's say 256kbps)
Perhaps the problem is in the chain you use decoder/coder ....
I'm using eac3to to convert my AC3 to m4a/aac and by using a quality factor of 0.35 i generally get near 256Kbps audio streams (5.1 channels), depends on the complexity, and this is a very good audio quality. To be precise, the Lf, Lr and LFE channels are not as used as the Lf, Lr and Cent so you can't divise 256kbps by 6 and suppose that 42kbps is sufficient for a mono channel.
Some ... let's say "releasers"... use 92Kbps/24Khz 2.0 aac with a surprisingly good quality !

[g0th1ckn1ght]

I was just wondering, using Ripbot, is there i way i can have the entire Bluray (menus and all) as a single file (mt2s or mkv). Storage space is not an issue, and with some movies i have had trouble having forced subs embedded in the file with optional soft subs (for when i want to watch the movie at low volume) and i want the quality to remain unchanged.

Thanks in advance

[Phaex]

@g0th1ckn1ght
You can always put your files inside a .rar files. Otherwise, you need to use mkvmerge to mux all the video and soundtrack together. p.s. I have not tried this yet, tell me if it works. For the subtitles, it depends on which video layer you use. You can either select them in kmplayer or the Haali media splitter icon on the task bar if you are using haali.

k, now to my question. Anyone has idea how to put in custom avisynth file commands? whenever I tried to import my own .avs file, the distributed encoding does not start.

The only way of doing this, retaining quality, retaining menus... is copying the Blueray...

You can also use the DvdFab serie of softwares to shrink it / reorganize the bluray

Hi m8;
thanks for the great program.

My question is server max pc limit.
is it 1 main + 7 side

Or

is it 1 main + 8 side

BTW new version of MKWToolkit 5.8.0, ffmpeg 2012-09-03,
VSFilter 2.41.5887 is out and you probably know that....

It uses 8 nodes, it does not matter which computer you run it from. Basically if you enable the cluster encoding, ripbot does not encode the video itself. Instead, it transfer the job to encoding client; Therefore, you will be using all and just the nodes listed in the encodingclient.ini file

Something strange

I was away and when I returned, I found this
On a list of 15 chunks, I found chunks 1-3 & 15 encoded, while currently encoding 4-6. It is the second pass with 3 servers.

Is this "normal"??

[Atak_Snajpera]

no it is not normal.
i can only assume one scenario .
some chunks probably hung at starting.. stage. i've added code in past to resume those dead chunks. ofcourse i may be wrong about that and something else could go wrong.

[slalom]

The file has errors in the end, obviously the last chunk. Will do it again tomorrow with 2 servers only

[prexaspes]

Haven't been on in a while. I've been using RipBot for a few years now, and I just switched over to the new distributed encoding version and I have to say, it's outstanding. At first I was wondering where I would get drones to run the encoder on, but then I remembered my stash of broken screen laptops from home and work. Encoder farm, cheap and low space. I put them all on their own segment with my QX6800 SSD / big RAID array providing the content. Everything is running XP Pro, smoothly. Add in Interframe AviSynth for 60FPS encoding and life is good. Thank you for making a great product better, and still free.

[Lehm]

This is a great tool. However I can't get the distributed rendering to work. I have UseDistributedEncoding=1, and I'm pretty sure I've got all the other settings correct as specified in the tutorial video. However when I hit start, the encoding client does not load, it immediately starts encoding locally.

Edit: Nevermind, I thought the encoding client was supposed to pop up right away. Turns out it does something else first then shows up. All is good now.

[slalom]

All got well with 2 servers, don't know how..

[Hobbe]

Atak: Thanks for a great program!..
But a feature request. A checkbox for vbr aac audio? Right now I edit the .cmd file before start the encode.
And maybe some "help text" with the denoise filter. Hard to know what values to use and when.

[Atak_Snajpera]

for audio vbr is not that very important. vbr is more useful for video.

regarding denoising filter. increase mono noise value in order to eliminate film grain. if your video also contains color noise then increase color noise value. i can't give you magic numbers because every source is diffrent and requires diffrent treatment. you will have to experiment a little bit.

[rc71]

So what? I'm neither American nor creationist.


And I suspect, it makes sense to be able to encode a mono stream to mono AAC. That's why I asked if Atak could add an option to add audio profiles.

I didn't do a very good job of making my point. your right about that, the evolution thing was suppose to be a two things, a play on words that things evolve and the second is shear numbers.

The second point stands. You have thousands of users, even if legitimate, you can't have Atak adding individual features. I still have tons of issues with AC3 and mono tracks, but apparently I'm the EXCEPTION so I let it be with a mention here and there. It's not that I don't have a real issues, but it's not one for everyone so you can't expect or shouldn't expect Atak to deal with it. That's all I'm saying.

[Lynx_TWO]

Hey, so, since AAC in bit-depth independent, would you possibly be able to let the software feed the FHG encoder the full 24-bit signal by default, instead of dithering down to 16 bit first? Basically the BluRayExtractStreams.cmd would default to -24 instead of -down16, right? There is no point in dithering to 16-bit for a bit-depth independent codec. Here is another interesting read about this fact... http://images.apple.com/itunes/mastered-for-itunes/docs/mastered_for_itunes.pdf

Yeah I know that's not that important. But a nice feature :)
Why don't you allow to copy ac3 audio stream when using mp4 container?

I have to hard drives, C and E. I tried placing the temp folder in either of them with the same result.

Thanks.

for audio vbr is not that very important.
Hydrogenaudio.org would beg to differ.

You have thousands of users, even if legitimate, you can't have Atak adding individual features.
Of course I can, why else would he have a thread to discuss his tool? Maybe my suggestion is worth considering cause it's beneficial to many people (e.g. those of us who encode with 2 or more audio streams, be it other languages or director's comments), maybe he wants to keep up with the competition, maybe not.

While it's possible that he is not interested in a feature or due to the sheer number of requests overlooks a question (like mine about how to encode a mono source to mono), I'm not going to find out if I don't ask, am I?

Encountered a new problem with Distributed Encoding. Did a search and didn't see anyone with the same problem.

Occasionally one of the chunks will get stuck at "Starting". Now I've found that I can manually hit the off button for that machine at the bottom and then on again and it starts up no problem. The issue is if you're not watching it and this happens your encode will never finish. Would it be possible to have a timeout so that if a machine hasn't made any progress after x minutes it will automatically restart that chunk?

[Atak_Snajpera]

you should just leave it. i've added code in past which tries to restart dead chunks. personally i have not had any issues so far.

[Lehm]

I did leave it. The last encode I attempted, I had to leave for three hours. I came back and chunk #2 was stuck at starting. All the other chunks had finished on pass 1.

[Atak_Snajpera]

you are using latest version and all servers are also updated ,right?

[Lehm]

Yep all machines have 1.17.3

[Atak_Snajpera]

what servers show when you get that last dead chunk.

[Lehm]

what servers show when you get that last dead chunk.

Do you mean what does the output window on the stuck encoding server show? If so I'll have to wait until it happens again, didn't think to look at it.

[Atak_Snajpera]

yep. i want to know if server encoded that dead chunk but didn't return progress to client.

Can someone help me with the reason I keep getting the "failed to write the destination file error"?

Can someone help me with the reason I keep getting the "failed to write the destination file error"? Is it a rented disk?

[Shamans09]

Hi, I want to thank you for this great powerfull encode program. It's best on the market. I am a loyal user since v1.11.5! thx..

[Shamans09]

yep. i want to know if server encoded that dead chunk but didn't return progress to client.

In my case I think answer is: server is encoding a chunk and returns progres to client and in midle of that process, something goes wrong and connection between 'server part' of client's EncodingClient.exe and server's EncodingServer.exe froze, so chunk is dead and lost. Server is frozen and it can't be pressed Off button. Also running EncodingServer.exe window on remote machine is frozen, and I can shut it down only by force (by killing process). I have notice that behavior only on latest version of RipBot. I believe this was caused by: increasing priority level from low/.../above normal to high or falling of network (home group) connection between client and server. (??) but I'm really not an expert... To solve this issue I must end EncodingClient.exe and both EncodingServer.exe (client's, server's) in task manager. then start encode again, wait for audio complete again, and then encode video (thankfully!!! from latest good chunks). If you could do something with this weird freezing, it would be great, so I can only OFF/ON in EncodingClient window, because this is killing me (my time).

[gbear]

Is it a rented disk?

No. I got it from my friend.

[Lehm]

Encoded all last night and didn't run into the problem. Whenever it happens again I'll post about it.

However I did run into another issue.

I was checking one of my encodes this morning. I noticed it jump at one point. At first I thought it was just a playback issue on my computer so I played that section again jumped in exactly the same way. I then noticed the time was exactly 10:00. On a hunch I went to 20:00 there was a similar jump. I opened it up in Media Player Classic so I could go frame by frame. At the 10:00 mark the video will slightly jump forward a few frames, it then holds that frame for 3 frames. Same thing every 10 minutes, basically everywhere chunks are put together. I checked I a few more files and it affects all of them.

Has anyone else reported this?

Upload 11min test sample of ORIGINAL FILE! mmg.exe should help you to prepare proper sample. file send to www.mediafire.com

@Shamans09
It will be very difficult because I can't force my encoding servers to hang :(

[Shamans09]

I need some help here, please.
when the ripbot was muxing a file, my computer completely lost power. so when I turned on again, encoding prosess start from begining not from last chunk/muxing. I have all chunks. I need only to join them. How can I do that? Is that possible? or I must start again.

[Atak_Snajpera]

click on CombineAllChunks.cmd and then Click on Jobx_MuxFiles.cmd

Hmmm. Not sure I want to upload them. They're rips of hddvd's and I don't want to send copywrite material. They're just the evo files straight off the disc. Plus since its happening to all of them its probably not a file issue.

I think a better question, does anyone else get this or is it just me?

If its just me I can deal with it, its only a 1/8sec pause every 10 min.
