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

[MK1234Tfan]

When I try loading an MP4 into ripbot for some reason it says I need bass.dll 2.3 and I keep clicking ok on the error and it proceeds and then more errors say I need 2.3 for every dll in Tools\AviSynth plugins\BassAudio folder. Not quite sure what to do now. I have the latest version of ffdshow but the only thing is the dll's that came with your app some are 2.3 and 2.4 Why is it asking for 2.3 if you have 2.4 dll's included?
Just to report I reinstalled 1.17.3 and it loads fine. So there is some sort of bug in 1.17.4.

Also when trying distributed encoding I have port forwarded on my router for both computers on the workgroup. As my linksys doesn't let me use the same port for 2 ip's I have made my XP box 192.168.2.5 port 1000 and the windows 7 box 192.168.3 port 2000. I have tried to find instructions on how to set this up but you haven't included any instructions with this software so I'm not sure. I've watched your video but you don't mention on how to set up the other computer but the main 1. I have the server and server client both running on my Win7 machine and on my XP box connects to 192.168.2.5:1000 and starts encoding but my client only says there says "Connecting" at 192.168.2.3:2000. What am I doing wrong?

Btw I get a socket error on Win7 machine server saying:
Socket error # 10060
Connection timed out
Access violation at address 004C5B68 in module "Encodingserver.exe". Read of address 00000098

I've included a screen shot of the Winxp box Server client. Love the software! keep up the great work!

download again 1.17.4 and extract it to NEW folder. DO NOT OVERWRITE OLDER FILES!

Why do you use port forwarding if both PC are in LAN?

[MK1234Tfan]

Fixed the error like you said by replacing all files. Just trying everything to get it working. been trying for about 5 days now.

[MK1234Tfan]

Alright I took off port forwarding in the router and am using port 1000 for both PC's. It seems like it's trying to connect to the windows 7 encoding server but I still get the socket error # 10060 on the Win7 computer.

[hoju3508]

I have home some home videos recorded in 1920x1080, and want to put them on my iPad2. I would like to crop these videos since they're taking up so much room. What's a valid or good resolution for the iPad?

[EDIT] Looks like it should be 640x480.

Any chance of having a preset for iPad? I saw one for iPod.

[Atak_Snajpera]

hd . progresive 4.0 should work on ipad if you meant encoding profile.

for resizing just use sd-pc 640x...

propably your firewall is blocking connection.

[MK1234Tfan]

I completely shut the firewall down on both ends. Also when you share a folder windows tells you it automatically adds it to the exception list. Also folder and printer sharing are in the exception list and I can use the printer fine on the Windows 7 laptop. It can't be the firewall.

Thanks Atak. It worked perfectly once I figured it out.

[Thunderbisciut]

Been using Ripbot for a long time, my favorite x264 frontend out there.

My question is if there is something I can add to the config file to make it that no subtitle track gets the default flag? I can go into the job folder and manually change the "default track" from a"1" to a "0", but if I can just add an extra line to the config file that would make my life easier.

[rc71]

Error with a specific file.
I'm getting an exception 0000949A error when I try to add a specific file. These are the specs. Any idea?????

Tried the new .4 version just in case, but I get the same results.

Okay. It seems to be connected to the fucked up info about the width/height

----- Solution -----
Had to use the header editor to change the value from 1434 to 1912. Then Ripbot would open it. Then autocrop would take 478 off the right. Then manually set the aspect ratio.
weird.

HAPPY New Year to everyone!!!!!!

[clefus]

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to post problems....Love Ripbot and have used for some time.

The new DE feature messes up my videos....the sound does not match the video, the subtitles are wrong (both appear right some of the time) and at the bottom where the subtitles are sometimes it has a blurry brief box.

Not sure what to do. Thanks in advance and thanks for a great product.

[slalom]

What's the version you're running??

[Fuggin]

Hello Atak...I have been using your Ripbot program along with the distributed video encoding. It has been working fine, but sometimes I have found that some jobs I have set up (all of them set with the same encoding parameters) won't get encoded by my 2nd server. I have to disconnect it so that server 1 will finish the job. The encoding panel will show that the 2nd server is "encoding" but it isn't actually doing anything.

Any idea what would be causing this? All my encoding servers were installed with the same version Ripbot (and associated tools/codecs as required). All computers are running Windows 7 64-bit.

Edit: Forgot to ask...any chance of looking into a Unraid plugin that would allow Unraid users use their servers to get in on the distributed encoding chain?

Unraid? What is that?

Sorry no idea. I wonder if other users had the same problem?

[jwjohnson]

I haven't seen any issues. I'm using 3 instances of the encoding server on two different machines. (It takes 3 to max out my CPU usage.) I'm running Win 7-64 as well.

[Fuggin]

Unraid? What is that?


Sorry no idea. I wonder if other users had the same problem?

Unraid is basically an expandable raid server OS designed for media storage. I use it also as a Plex media server.

What's the version you're running??

(3) Windows 7 x64 boxes. All running v1.17.3...had these issues (audio video don't match at times, subtitles don't match at times, blurry square rectangle at bottom of screen for brief moments occasionally) has happened on more than one job and on each I have tried with DE.

Disabling DE, adding the job, and running on a single box works fine.

One of the boxes has a much beefier CPU than the other 2...so it finishes multiple segments before the others finish 1...but that shouldn't matter....?

Is there other information I can post that would help? Thanks again for a great app.

[Atak_Snajpera]

can you upload some source sample to www.mediafire.com so i could reproduce those issues?

[Fuggin]

Sorry no idea. I wonder if other users had the same problem?

To elaborate on this issue...I have seen a pattern and I am unsure of you could test it out. I have some files that are large (>~15-20gig) that I am encoding. It appears if they are >~15-20gig, the distributed encoding will not work at all.

[Atak_Snajpera]

maybe your network is too slow to stream high bitrate video files?

[Fuggin]

Not likely...all gigabit connections. But you don't seem willing to help out or offer any solutions. I'll find something else to use. Have a good day.

[slalom]

I still use 1.17.2, works better for me, give it a try

[Atak_Snajpera]

no problem then. if you will find better free gui with distributed encoding mode let me know.

btw. i'm not a fortune teller or seer yet...

[clefus]

I could try...but all of the source files are > 20GB....not sure what mediafire's limits are. Is there anything else I could try or provide? I will look for a smaller file.

Would you be up for FTP instead of mediafire?

[Atak_Snajpera]

I just need 50mb - 100mb sample. Use DGsplit and then send it to mediafire.

Done...pm inbound.

[BlockABoots]

Just come across this program, does it use the x264vfw base of codecs?

Am wanting to use VirtualDub for editing and resizing my captures are rather than encoding them in VirtualDub i would like to load VirtualDubs Frameserver and load that in AvsPmod (avisynth script mod) and then save as an avs file and then load this avs file into RipBot, will this allow me to do that? What are the ideal settings for 720p and 1080p uploads to Youtube??

[Atak_Snajpera]

ripbot264 uses plain x264 command line version.

ideal magic setting for youtube do not exist. just use default profile with crf 16 - 18

[BlockABoots]

Why does Ripbot only allow me to encode the audio up to a max of 128Kbps i usually encode the audio at 192kbps?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Because 128kbps AAC is transparent. Any higher bitrate does not make sense.

[Firminus]

Preset: mkv (for stream copy) I don't want to re-encode the audio I just want it to trim with the video.
I set the trim command : Trim(0,37974)
And before I encode it tells me the audio and video are the same length (in this video 26 mins) then after the encode my file is HUGE because when I use mediainfo it says the audio length is 4 hours 24 mins...the entire DVD's audio. Soooo plz help >.<

[nekrosoft13]

Atak, I started getting a new error that I haven't seen before on one PC (server 2012) when I click start about half a second later I get a message that bepipe.exe crashed.

how can this be resolved?

[Atak_Snajpera]

bepipe.exe needs .net 2.0 installed.

[Pimp Shanti]

Info needed please:

Does anyone have a definitive list of the input codecs that will work with distributed encoding? I know the container formats but, having tried several different AVIs, some work with DE and some don't.

Many thanks

[Atak_Snajpera]

If you see this grey rectangle with detected video codec then DE mode will be activated
http://i.imgur.com/cZVT1.png

otherwise normal mode is used

from source code
CodecString:=MediaInfoA_Get(Handle_, 1, 0, 'Codec/String', 1, 0);
if CodecString='FRAPS' then DetectMediaCodec:='fraps' else
if pos('DV',CodecString)<>0 then DetectMediaCodec:='dv' else
if CodecString='JPEG' then DetectMediaCodec:='mjpeg' else
if CodecString='MPEG-1 Video' then DetectMediaCodec:='mpeg1' else
if CodecString='MPEG-2 Video' then DetectMediaCodec:='mpeg2' else
if (CodecString='XviD') or (CodecString='DivX 5') or (CodecString='DivX 4') then DetectMediaCodec:='mpeg4' else
if (CodecString='VC-1') or (CodecString='WMV3') then DetectMediaCodec:='vc1' else
if pos('VP6',CodecString)<>0 then DetectMediaCodec:='vp6' else
if pos('VP8',CodecString)<>0 then DetectMediaCodec:='vp8' else
if pos('H263',CodecString)<>0 then DetectMediaCodec:='h263' else
if pos('RealVideo 4',CodecString)<>0 then DetectMediaCodec:='rv4' else
if (CodecString='H.264') or (CodecString='AVC') or (CodecString='MPEG-4 AVC') then DetectMediaCodec:='h264' else DetectMediaCodec:='unknown';

[Pimp Shanti]

Thanks for the quick response. Is DE only available on h264 encoded material?

[Atak_Snajpera]

it does not matter

[Pimp Shanti]

Still confused, source code doesn't mean much to me I'm afraid. Do you mean to say that everything listed - mpeg1, mpeg2, vc8 etc - will work with DE?

[Atak_Snajpera]

correct

[Firminus]

Do you know what's up with my problem? I posted on the other page. Its the Audio Trim problem.

[nekrosoft13]

bepipe.exe needs .net 2.0 installed.

on server 2012 (windows 8 based) it does have .net framework 3.5 installed, and it says it includes .net 2.0 and 3.0)

framework 2.0 installer will not install.

[Atak_Snajpera]

i do not have win 8 so i can not test.
BTW. Does it also crash when you just double click on bepipe.exe icon?

[S.D]

Hi i need add very small txt in my encode
and i use *.ssa & .*ass subtitles in build in picture mod
But when I start
stop in please wait ...

in my Server not work
Where you are might be a problem ?
thanks

yes it does, it used to work before, but couple days ago there was .net update on windows update.

i can't find unintall option for the update :(
