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

[mob]

Hey Atak_Snajpera, is there any way to use OGM files as input for ripbot264?

I have a Xvid video in a .ogm container. I am trying to convert this to x264/mkv.

I know ripbot264 can convert xvid/avi but it doesn't seem to let me convert xvid/ogm :(

[Atak_Snajpera]

Remux OGM to MKV.

Updated installer links take advantage of the shared folder it has other stuff that might interest you...

New:
Added recursive Directory add/remove so no more individual folder search for new/old files In the Setup Projects.7z

Killed the abort sequence that killed previous installers if a firewall blocked them from the Internet... (Needing a loop sequence for retry not yet implemented)

PreRun sequence is now automated in all installers...

*Soon to be added:
Uninstallation of old FFDshow before new one gets installed same with Haali and if need be Avisynth as well...

New set of code to automate the install of all programs that get downloaded...

I have just encoded a music video I have & the audio in the mkv output file has the odd beep & hiss every 3 seconds or so. Here's an ogg file of the hissing. http://www.mediafire.com/?xdygwyowuld

[Ajax_Undone]

Can you upload a chunk of the source Video

[Atak_Snajpera]

Also, sometimes when I encode my DVDs I like to keep the original AC3 audio track. So that would also be another good example of when someone would want to keep the untouched audio.

Select copy stream. AC3 is not allowed in MP4!

The audio is already 96kbps/OGG so if I transcode it, it will only give me worse quality. So I'm better off just keep the audio as it is.


OGG is only allowed in MKV!

OGG is only allowed in MKV!



LOL Yeah I just realized that! I actually just deleted my last post since I figured it out on my own but you replied too fast :)

The problem was that I had selected the MP4 container. Now that I am using the MKV container I have the option to copy the original stream.

Man, RipBot264 is really good. I love its simplicity. And I love how it "just works" without any problems.

Thanks a lot :)

[DJ_Price]

Can you upload a chunk of the source Video

What do you suggest I use to get a chunk out?

[Ajax_Undone]

Any Binary File Splitter will do the job...

[DJ_Price]

Any Binary File Splitter will do the job...

Ok, what will having the source video do? I tried encoding with another program (MediaCoder) & there were no problems with the file that was outputted. Here's the video, it's 15 seconds: Hound Dogs - I Like Girls (http://www.mediafire.com/?ydnyxymozjy)

[Espio]

When I add subtitles to the video and burn them in, they appear a second or so late, but when I use the SRT file with the original video they are perfectly in time. Any way to fix this?

[Ajax_Undone]

@ DJ_Price

It isnt hard to reproduce that noise but there is no video in play back once encoded...

MPC Spits it out like a bad taste.... It encodes just fine in VDubMod

Better let Atak take it from here...

[Atak_Snajpera]

This audio problem is already fixed with latest NicAudio (2.0.1). I reported that sometime ago.

Thanks, that did the trick:thanks:

[Ajax_Undone]

OK Here (http://www.mediafire.com/?yvmbj5j3jmv) is the new installer it has an updated tool set... I will keep track of the updates for now on...

Hey Atak think you should adopt from morphinapg his updater and use it in your app to keep it up to date... :sly:


Just a thought LOL...

[--PlayStation3--]

I am getting an error, and I've never had a problem.

It's an .mkv music video that I'm trying to convert to .mp4.

Media player classic opens up and says...:

"Script error: there is no function named "DirectShowSource"
(C:\Users\Alex\AppData\Local\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 1)"

Anyone know a fix?

Thanks.

[jethro]

Check if you have DirectShowSource.dll plugin in Avisynth plugins folder.

Yep, it's there.

Reinstall AviSynth

[jamd1]

Thx for a nice simple app that does the job nicely - Just used to make an mp4 from an AnyDVD rip of Fifth Element Blu-ray. Quality is very good and appears in sinc.
Using a Core 2 Duo E6600 2 gb ram it took 16 hours to make an mp4 using 2 passes at 2048 kbps. 1st pass encoded at about 10.5 fps - second pass at 4.7 fps.
Couple of newbie questions:
1. In order to save processing time is it neccessary to do 2 passses?
2. Does the encoding generally take longer or shorter for .mkv production instead of .mp4?
3. Would I save much time encoding at the default 1024 kbps instead of 2048?
Thx for the help and any tips.

[deets]

im awake so ill give your questions a go :D

1. no, 2 pass is only for making it fit a desired file size. If you are not concerned with the end file size you can try CRF mode which is one pass.
2. it wont make any difference to encoding time, the raw video file is the same in either mkv or mp4
3. maybe so, i only encode for PSP and i think it takes longer for higher bitrate, but i could be completely wrong :)

Reinstall AviSynth

Reinstalling AviSynth didn't work. Now I get a different error.

http://i32.tinypic.com/29ap66x.jpg

[deacon crusher]

Atak or anyone else.

I'm very close to getting this great app to work perfectly for me, but I've got a couple of questions.

I'm trying to rip blu-ray movies to play on a Sage media extender. Doesn't seem to handle the full bit rate of m2ts files so want to encode to mkv as it seems to handle those well. I've done one encode that worked for the first 20 minutes of the movie (I'm using spiderman3 for my tests) but after about 20 minutes the audio stops altogether and the video plays at about 2x speed. I've read a bunch of this thread and figure this might be a codec pack I had (klite) so uninstalled that.

So, first question, what settings should I use to maintain the highest quality as file size is not that big an issue?

EDIT
I tried Blu-ray profile with CQ of 24 or 26 whichever is highest. That gave me a smaller file size then 20 or 22 whichever I tried first, so next time I'll go CQ with 16, that should give me least recompression, correct?
END EDIT

Second and this is the biggy, Spidey has TrueHD and a 5.1 uncompressed 5.1 sound tracks. I'd like to use either of these to create a 5.1 AC3 sound track. Is this possible? That sound track will work if I playback through my dolby digital (but not dts) decoding receiver, or if I dump straight to my TV via hdmi as my Sage extender will down convert for me to 2 channels.

If this is possilbe what's the right way to do it?

EDIT
Watched the process a little more closely this time and I think I've figured out that ripbot is actually converting the LPCM track to flac and then when I choose aften 5.1 it's changing it back to AC3, correct?

So, if that's right how does ripbot know which sound track to use? I guess the LPCM one has only one version and is English.
END EDIT

NEW QUESTION
Last question, so this next try even with smaller file size and my better understanding still created an MKV that has the audio die about 15 to 18 minutes into the movie (exact same point.)

Some way to fix this??

Also, should it take 45 minutes or so for Rip Bot to parse through the audio files and do the flac conversion before you get to make your mkv choices and start the re-encode??
END NEW QUESTION.

Thanks very much and again, great tool.

thanks

Remove all codec paks from your system and then use Ajax installer.

Lower value means better quality (bigger size). If I were you I would stay with CQ22.

Last question, so this next try even with smaller file size and my better understanding still created an MKV that has the audio die about 15 to 18 minutes into the movie (exact same point.)

I had the same problem with Casino Royale DVD. I will try to find solution.

User chooses track from the list not ripbot :)

When this error occurs show me also getinfo.avs

If your source is huge (bluray) with many soundtracks and your HDD is not very fast...Why not.

[Sarreq Teryx]

I'm using 1.9.2 and so far it's a nice program, but I'm finding a few things either broken or lacking.
broken:

decimation - it seems to be disabled no matter what. I'd have to guess it's something you're still working on.
sorry, it seems to just not like certain frame rates, very odd. it works fine for 29.976 video, but there's only the choice to decimate to 23.976. this is most definitely an odd case, but I have a 120fps video, and I'd like to be able to decimate it to 24, but no-go
subtitles - MKVs can hold SRT, SSA or ASS, but the only option available for "mux in container" is SRT

lacking:

saving new profiles - how? I'd like to save my custom profile, but there doesn't seem to be an option for it.
free-form bitrate control for the video - why be stuck with a drop down list of bitrates?
audio format and bitrates - 6 choices??? why not make a chooser between ogg, aac-lc and aac-he, and have a slider for either cq or bitrate?
normalizer - 100% or 200%? what if someone wants to normalize somwhere below, inbetween, or above those marks?
3-pass encoding - why not?

[Atak_Snajpera]

It looks like you didn't do your homework very well :)

lacking:

* saving new profiles - how? I'd like to save my custom profile, but there doesn't seem to be an option for it.

* 3-pass encoding - why not?


1) Modifiy name (in codec settings) and click ok. Profile always shows in Profile directory. Is it that complicated ???
2) Did you even bother to enter bitrate manually???
3) Simplicity Amigo, Simplicity. Tell me Who encode for instance AC3 audio at 345kbps???
4) What is point to normalize audio below 100%??? 200% was added ONLY for PSP users. It helps a little bit to increase audio volume but it is not RECOMMENDED in other task.
5) Huge waste of time!!! Human being won't see difference between 2-pass and 3-pass. Unless you are cyborg.

* decimation - it seems to be disabled no matter what. I'd have to guess it's something you're still working on.
* subtitles - MKVs can hold SRT, SSA or ASS, but the only option available for "mux in container" is SRT

decimate is available ONLY if source has 29.97 fps or 59.94fps!
SRT subs are alot more popular than SSA or ASS.

I think the problem comes from the source.

It looks like you didn't do your homework very well :)

1) Modifiy name (in codec settings) and click ok. Profile always shows in Profile directory. Is it that complicated ???o0 sorry, that wasn't obvious, usually there's a "save profile" button. thanks
2) Did you even bother to enter bitrate manually???>_> whoops…
3) Simplicity Amigo, Simplicity. Tell me Who encode for instance AC3 audio at 345kbps???
not anyone sane, I didn't mean for encoding that high or or arbitrary a bitrate either, but I think limiting the choice to 64HE, 96LC and 128LC is a little silly, I'd just like to be able to use 112kbps or 192 in both profiles at least. neither profile are limited to those bitrates are they? I know Vorbis isn't.
4) What is point to normalize audio below 100%??? 200% was added ONLY for PSP users. It helps a little bit to increase audio volume but it is not RECOMMENDED in other task.
below 100%: if the source audio is too loud, you'd want to lower it
between 100 and 200%: if the source audio is too quiet, but not so quiet that you'd want to boost it by 200%
over 200%: ya got me, the hard of hearing?
5) Huge waste of time!!! Human being won't see difference between 2-pass and 3-pass. Unless you are cyborg.
I'm not quite a cyborg, but I do notice little slight differences, I know most people don't see them, but I do. it's not a major thing, I would've liked the option though.
decimate is available ONLY if source has 29.97 fps or 59.94fps!
is that a limitation of AVISynth (or something else ripbot uses)?
SRT subs are alot more popular than SSA or ASS.maybe that doesn't apply to anime subbers, since I've only ever seen SSA or ASS used in them. but besides that, MKV is still compatible with all 3 (and USF, I wish that wasn't abandoned), why limit people to one format? if MP4 or BlueRay are limited to SRT, limit those, but MKV isn't and shouldn't be.

[Usa1955]

Is it somehow possible to convert avi files with FLV1? When I try to open one generated from FLV extract Media Player classic opens displaying that FLV1 is not supported. Is it somehow possible though?

[jamd1]

Atak_Snajpera - thx again for the app. Having made a few rips with it now - experimenting with different bit rates and resolutions and working out conversion times. There is a big time saving using 1280x720 over 1920x1080 - more significant than using the same resolution with half the bitrate.
So "generally speaking" would i get a better picture with a 1280x720 file with 8192 Bit rate compared to a 1920x1080 file with 4096 Bit rate? Or am I better off with the full HD resolution at the lower bit rate.
Thx for any advice.

[Atak_Snajpera]

50 mb is enough

but I think limiting the choice to 64HE, 96LC and 128LC is a little silly, I'd just like to be able to use 112kbps or 192 in both profiles at least. neither profile are limited to those bitrates are they? I know Vorbis isn't.
AAC is very efficient codec. 128kbps is comparable to 192 mp3 so i see no reason to use higher bitrate. The same rule applies to ogg as well. I also see no reason to use 112kbps. 128-112=16. You would save whole 16kbps :) Silly

below 100%: if the source audio is too loud, you'd want to lower it
between 100 and 200%: if the source audio is too quiet, but not so quiet that you'd want to boost it by 200%
over 200%: ya got me, the hard of hearing?
200% = always distorted sound. You increase audio volume above scale.
If your source was normalized above scale lowering volume won't fix that. Audio will always remain distorted.
Lesson for: 200% for PSP ,100% for rest.

I'm not quite a cyborg, but I do notice little slight differences, I know most people don't see them, but I do. it's not a major thing, I would've liked the option though.
I doubt

is that a limitation of AVISynth (or something else ripbot uses)?

Thx for any advice.
If you did your math you would know that Full HD footage has ~2 times more pixels to encode therefore it requires proportional higher bitrate. HD should have 4Mbps and FullHD should have 8192.
Conclusion is that 720p at 8Mbps will always look better than FullHD at 4Mbps!

Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecine#2:3_pulldownOK, while one of the more important forms of telecine, 2:3 pulldown isn't the only form of frame decimation. I actually wasn't kidding about the 120fps video I've got (119.88, to be exact, it was probably interlaced 59.94 originally)

[Atak_Snajpera]

After I cut it to 50Mb using TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 with DivX Authoring, I can rip that 50Mb video by RipBot.
So I guess there is no point to upload it.

Is there a way to add the ability to open EVO files?

Or, at least, to open MKV files that contain VC-1 video?

I'm trying to archive my Hd-DVDs (since they are now officially extinct :) ) and most seem to be VC-1. So ifVC-1 can be added, that would be the greatest thing since they invented sliced bread!!:p

Thanks!

[Atak_Snajpera]

[jamd1]

This request pertains to all the conversion GUI's. I have read through most of the pages of this and the other GUI threads but not seen any terminology guides. For people used to only one click conerters like DVD shrink an explanation on each of the main settings and how they effect conversion and movie quality would be very useful . If someone has the time it would be much appreciated.
All codec settings, bitrates, buffer sizes etc
Thanks for any help

I have the same problem witha PS3 mp4 I made - size is 4.2gb - plays on PC but PS3 shows as corrupted data . Same reason I guess? If so is it because consoles not using NTFS file system?
Rather than re-encode the whole file (took 20 hours lol) - Is there a simple way to split the mp4 file into 2 parts without losing any quality?

20 hours???

I have heard this from a lot of people here.

I wonder why it only takes 4 to 6 hours on my machine?

I am going to re-encode from the original disk with only one pass keeping the original size.

This should keep the re-encode time down greatly.

Hopefully this will work for streaming to XBOX360.

[jamd1]

20 HOURS - was encoding a 2 hr movie ( dog day afternoon ) 4m bitrate 1920x1080 HD using the PS3 4.1 profile - Core2duo E6600 2gb ram . Do you have a much more powerful PC or are you encoding to lower settings?
