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

[jtheripper]

That miight have been the problem. The mkv file was 1280 X 538. I am reencoding it now using your HD settings which add bars above and below to make it 720. Hopefully that should work. Great program BTW

[duramaximus]

Atak,

Is there anyway possible to add a feature for a single layer BD (25GB)? I see single layer DVD and dual layer dvd just not single layer BD (25gb).

I am not sure how hard that would be but I know that in the next year or so the cost of these type of disk/burners/players are just going to come down in price.

Thanks,

Duramaximus

Sparkey,

What process are you using to backup your Blu-Ray and strip streams from them? I would love to do this, but haven't quite gotten there yet...

I have gotten it down to using the latest tsMuxeR to strip out the unwanted sound tracks, using only the 5.1 or ac3, not using dts and others because they are too large and will take more away from the video quailty. After this just click on the -output- button "M2TS muxing" and hit the "start muxing". Once the muxing is finished, load the M2TS into RipBot, make sure you have ALL the latest updates to the files/programs used by RipBot, use -2pass-, put a check mark in -Lock Size (mb)- select size 8150 the -save as- -Blu-Ray Disc- select -done- then -start- Once this is all finished load Nero Burning ROM, I'm using version 8, select -DVD-ROM (UDF)- copy the two subdirectories RipBot made called BDMV & CERTIFICATE into the ROOT directory of DVD-DL disc and you are done. You must use a DVD Dual Layer Disc if you are going to select 8150 in RipBot.

Hope this works for ya... so far I have backed up around 15 of our kid's blu-rays to DVD-DL disc and all work perfectly in our home blu-ray payer. Of course you know these types of DVDs will NOT play in a standard DVD player... :)

Good luck!

Why not importing m2ts directly in RipBot? After demuxing you may choose which audio track you want.

[SparKeyD]

Why not importing m2ts directly in RipBot? After demuxing you may choose which audio track you want.

First I use AnyDVD&HD to rip the blu-ray to the hard drive, then when I try to add the main .M2TS movie file into RipBot, it will give me a message "Couldn't open input file in HIDE mode! Exiting." almost all the time. However, when I use tsMuxeR first, then I can add the .M2TS file into RipBot with no problems. For example the movies Cars & Sky Captain both gives this message above and some other moives I have tried. So I just got into the habbit of using tsMuxeR first, then RipBot...

.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Ok. Thanks for info. It seems that TSMuxer fixes something in stream...
Could you open those problematic m2ts directly in DGAVCDec/DGindex and tell what DGAVCDec/DGindex says? (screenshot)

@ Atak_Snajpera

Hi, I have a problem with my m2ts files on the PS3 and you might have some experience with it. Seeking only works for me when I do not use "--aud" in contrast to what you wrote in the changelog of version 1.8.6 of RipBot264:

"fixed: M2TS seeking on PS3 (added --aud switch in encoder command line)"

I know that seeking works when these m2ts files are in a Blu-ray structure but no luck when playing standalone m2ts files. Also tested that with a Simpsons trailer and RipBot 1.9.2. I even remuxed the m2ts of the Blu-Ray output with tsMuxer.

Any idea why seeking does not work on the PS3 2.20 with standalone m2ts files containing a h264 stream created with --aud?

I really like to keep --aud set as it seems to be required in transport streams in general and for Encore, Scenarist, etc. import.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I've found solution. In TsMuxer uncheck Continually insert SPS/PPS

[Warrex]

I've found solution. In TsMuxer uncheck Continually insert SPS/PPS

Thanks but already tried that. In fact I tried all the combinations concerning the video stream (also using picture timing setting). This does not work for me. Double checked with output form RipBot264. The PS3 still goes to a black screen and does not forward at all.

When not using --aud everything is fine even when leaving both of the video stream options checked. Same is also true for using a file with --aud in a mp4 container.

[Atak_Snajpera]

It does work! I imported raw .264 file and .ac3 in TSMuxer. Then I unchecked Continually insert SPS/PPS and suddenly seeking started to work.

Edit: I will check later if Blu-Ray structure works without --aud. If Yes I will remove that from command line in next version.

[Warrex]

Ah, got it!

Stupid me did not realize that these settings change the video stream irreversibly (so it seems). I thought these just affected muxing. I used a m2ts (which was created with the SPS/PPS option) and just remuxed it without the setting. This does not work!

PLEASE DO NOT remove --aud even if the Blu-Ray structure works! Like I said I read here many times that it is required in m2ts streams. Scenarist and Encore will not import files without it!

Look here (I assume this applies to m2ts too): http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=708112&highlight=access+unit+delimiter#post708112

BTW: Do --aud and SPS/PPS do the same thing? Or are they similar?
BTW2: Getting m2ts only output back would be cool...

[IYG]

I think there is some problem with the new version RipBot264 that I download from Ajax_Undone's signature.
I can't encode the audio anymore.
The final output has a horrible sound.

[spudman]

Hi there. I have come accross a problem that i cant seem to crack so i wonder if any of you guys can help.
I am encoding a mkv file to bluray with ripbot and i need to add subtitles to it.
I have the subs in .srt format which i then enable in ripbot and choose "Build in Picture". I then let ripbot do its stuff, but when its finally all done there are no subs hard coded into the movie.
I played the file on pc and ps3 and there are definatly no subs there.
What am i doing wrong ????

[Atak_Snajpera]

Do you see subs in Preview?

[spudman]

No that was strange as well the subs were not in the preview... hmmmmm....

[spudman]

In the Ripbot log aswell it says nothing about the srt file

[Atak_Snajpera]

Send me that srt file. Use mediafire.com

[spudman]

As you can see first subtitles will appear after ~36 minutes. Why this movie has only 24 lines????

[spudman]

Basically these parts of the movie are spoke in "vampire" i would like them built into the picture and not as a selectable subtitle. Is this possible.
This problem is making me pull my hair out :S

[Atak_Snajpera]

In AviSynth script remove 25 and enter 23.976

#Subtitles
Loadplugin("...\RipBot264\Tools\AviSynth plugins\VSFilter\VSFilter.dll")

You star !!!! Thank you ever so much again matey. Keep up the good work ;)

[mob]

DAMN Atak_Snajpera! What an AWESOME software you made here! I just found out about it. It's so good because it is so simple.

Tell me, can I use this software to make high quality X264 rips of my Anime DVDs to play on my PC? or is this software only good for IPOD/PSP/PS3 and things like that?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Tell me, can I use this software to make high quality X264 rips of my Anime DVDs to play on my PC? or is this software only good for IPOD/PSP/PS3 and things like that?

Yes of course :) Use level 4.1 HD profile ...

It's so good because it is so simple.
It's simple because I'm simple guy :)

[Temeryx]

First, thank you for the program very nice, clean, easy to use program.

I wanted to use this program to convert my blu-ray discs into something that is less of a hassle to play on my HTPC.

I did "I am Legend", I used the 4.1 profile, set CQ to 16, and converted the audio to the highest bitrate AC3, using mkv. I did not change any other settings, this worked perfectly.

Last night I tried to do "The fifth Element" all the same settings. It seemed to work perfectly again, but I found out that 1 minute 30 seconds into the film, the audio just cuts out for the rest of the movie. Until that time my reciever detects the AC3 audio, and it sounds perfect.

The Fifth Element has an LPCM audio track and Ripbot did convert the LPCM to flac.

So, any thoughts would be appreciated, and I will gladly provide any other info you need.

thanks

[mob]

@Atak_Snajpera:

COOL :)

I'm going to test it out right now because I had some problems with MeGUI and AutoMKV because of all the options they have. It gets confusing because I always have to learn about new options and I never know what I'm doing. Thanks for making this software!

[mob]

Hey Atak_Snajpera. So I just finished testing it out and I am very happy with the way your software works. It operates so smoothly on my machine. And it was so easy to use. I really like it a lot.

I'm going to use this software to encode all my Anime DVDs. Maybe you can take a look at this sample of one of my anime series that I will encode.

http://www.mediafire.com/?scs2mgccdw9

Right now I will use the [ level 4.1 ] HD . BluRay . Consoles profile to encode this. But maybe you can see the source that I uploaded above and recommend me some changes to make to the profile to encode this particular one better. Unless maybe this profile is already good for my source. I don't know much about it because I am no expert.

Anyway, also, how can I know which deinterlace setting to use? Is there a way for me to find out? And how can I know if I need to use decimate? Those are really the two main options that I never know anything about :(

Well, thanks for everything!

edit:
See, when I'm done encoding I'm am seeing alot of frames that look like this:

http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/4185/samplees9.th.jpg (http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=samplees9.jpg)

I think maybe I need to use Decimate or something to fix that but the option is disabled. You can have a look at a sample of the source vob to check it out. I uploaded it to mediafire and the link is right above. Thanks for helping me :)

Hi,

i want to "shrink" AVP (Alien versus Predator), but there is no one great .m2ts file in the stream folder. How do i get the right order to add them in RipBot264?

Btw. 8150MB didn't work for me, every time the BD-folder was to big (two different movies), 7700 MB works fine for me.

Great program Atak_Snajpera.

Stoerte

[Atak_Snajpera]

Import playlist (MPLS) file in latest TSMuxer (Version 1.7.6). Remux to single .m2ts.

Did you use AC3 sound or DTS?

DTS

[Atak_Snajpera]

Formula is correct only for AC3 :( If you used AC3 , size would be ok. I will try to fix that in next version.

[Espio]

Did you try to remove audio normalization?

Sorry for the late reply to this, but removing normalization worked. Thanks for the tip, but even with the volume maxed and headphones on, it was pretty quiet. Any chance the problem will fixed next version?

[jtheripper]

I was wondering if it was possible for you to add to the size option something for a BD25 disk. That way it would be easy to compress down a BD50 dual layer and loose very little quality

[Atak_Snajpera]

I encode movies for my PSP very often and I have never had problems with audio normalization. I guess you have a mess in system :) (codec packs and so on)

I didn't know that main movie can be bigger than 25GB.

I ripped Live Free or Die Hard and it came out to be 29.3GB.
Main movie with english subs and best audio.

I also would like to see this feature if possible.

Thanks,

Duramaximus

[jtheripper]

I have ripped a few movies (BD50) down to the main movie and the HD audio (DD true hd , DTS master HD, uncompressed LPCM) and they came out to between 26 and 30 GB. With the price of 1 layer BD-RE dropping fast I think it is only a matter of time that this would be preferred rather than burning to a DVD-R. The BD-RE has arounf 22GB of usable space. If you could include that in the fike size options that would be fantastic. Thanks for your great program

[dejected_is_me]

i created a mp4 for the iphone using the preset profile for audio of 2.0 96kbs constant. the orginal file had audio in stereo (2 channels) but when ripbot was done it created a 6 channel mutli audio file. which of course does not play on the iphone. ive tried it numerous times with diffrent files (all from the same source thou) and the result is the same.

[Atak_Snajpera]

6 channels from 2 seems impossible in my app :) How do you know that you get 6 channels?

[Deckard2019]

Did anybody create profile for PopcornHour A100 ?
[ level 4.1 ] HD . BluRay . Consoles will surely be suitable, just wondering ...

Thank you.

[dejected_is_me]

i used the properties window out of media player classsic. (its never failed me before). the orginal file posts this:

"Video: DivX 5 320x240 29.97fps 769Kbps [Video 0]
Audio: MPEG Audio Layer 3 44100Hz stereo 159Kbps [Audio 1]"

The file made with ripbot reports this:

"Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 320x240 [GPAC ISO Video Handler]
Audio: AAC 44100Hz 6ch 157Kbps [GPAC ISO Audio Handler]"

again i used the iphone/ipod profile for video and then the 2.0 96kbs constant profile for audio. Its an episode of season 2 good eats. I did 12 episodes all of which play on the computer fine but when you trnasfer them to the iphone you get video no sound because its being reported as a muliti audio source in itunes and a 6 channel source in mpc.

I tried rencoding the audio in megui with the faac codec (same file that i put into ripbot) and it came out with the correct channels...2. i muxed the audio into the orginal mp4 container that ripbot made and synced it to my phone an it played fine.

SO the problem must be with the encoding codec that ripbot uses.

[survivant001]

@Atak_Snajpera

did you had some free time to create a beta version with dual audio track for the bluray output ?

[repdetect2]

Yes I will add that in next version


Could you be more precise?

Sorry for the delay, had a nasty, nasty flu....

The PS3 supports AAC 5.1 in the MP4 container. In Handbrake, there is an option to to take the AC-3 5.1 track and have it converted to AAC 5.1. That way you can just natively play mp4 with full surround and save some bandwith...

Thanks in advance sir :)

Atak,

Sorry for the oversight there. I must have goofed something on the installation, I reinstalled and I see everything now.

Sorry for the intrusion, your doing enough improving this awesome app without guys like me slowing you down :)

[dejected_is_me]

here is a sample of the video i was working with. the original file was a avi encoded with xvid and mp3. i split it with virtual dub. and as before i put the split file into ribbot and used iphone profile and 2.0 96kbs constant. It reports 6 ch with media player classic and a "mulit" audio source by itunes.

I also have no problem with that file:) You must have huge mess in your system. Good advice. Stop using codec packs, ok?

[dejected_is_me]

admitadly i do have the cccp codec pack. but thats all. and now that i watch when the encoding for ripbot is started ffdshow icons pop up in my taskbar for the decoding. from the looks of it aac encodeing is done by the aacplus codec. So isnt the seleciton of codecs handled internally by the program not by the codecs on my machine. Also ive tried the aacplus encoder in megui with the same file and it came out fine.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I've been using my app for over a year and I have never seen something like this. Like I said get rid of CCCP. Reinstall AviSynth , FFDshow (also uncheck all options in FFDShow Audio section) , Haali Media Splitter. End of story.

[dejected_is_me]

you were right. i dont know what about cccp was causing it but hey good to go now. besides between ffdshow, halie splitter and mpc i already installed everything in cccp... so whatever. problem solved thanks for your help
