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

[damia]

Thanks, got it to split the video into more chunks. May I sugguest a feature on the next version? That is the ability to change the server amount. I have access to a computer lab and 8 is a little small.

Seem like you are defining static server allocations on the Encoding Client UI, you can reuse that by reading server list from the EncodingClient.ini, grouping the servers by group of 8 (only show 8 at a time), server1 - server8 will be in page 1, server9 - server17 will be in page 2, etc. And there will be nav button "Previous Page", "Next Page", and also a ComboBox for quick nav. When user selects Server 9 for example from the list and press "Go to Server", the UI will change to page 2.

Below is how it would look like:
http://puu.sh/3wu7y.png

Well, this is only my suggestion and how I imagine it. Heck, you might think of an even better way to implement it.

Also, how about DE over NAT/VPN, there is netAvs2Yuv by sh0dan to get the source from network, and it is possible to share folder over VPN (NetBIOS over TCP is possible too).

Finally, I want to thank you for making such an amazing program.

hai.. how to added more server?? i already want to find this one... please teach me.. :helpful:

ETA is 51:50:40
Encoding a Bluray to mkv
CRF in Very Slow.

Is this ETA possible? Other encodes just took around 17Hours generally. The movie is about 2 hours in it's duration. But other encodes in the same durations didn't take this long.

Please help.

[slalom]

Check CPU load

[Wishbringer]

@meshaun:
In theory it is possible...
- You are using an avisynth command in your script that only is single core capable (bottleneck)
- you are using some avisynth preprocessing that reacts on some odds of your source (e.g. anime framerat and blending conversion/restoration)
- your CPU is only single- or dualcore and/or a ULV-version (laptop)

and my favorite:
- your CPU is overheating and throttling to lower speed, check your CPU load and coretemp.

(normal encoding time for an 2 hour movie with preset "very slow" and some custom settings is around 8 hours with an 4core i5-3570K, so 16 hours with dualcores)

[damia]

i encode movie using source 1080i.BluRay.AVC.DTS-HDMA looks output video looks problem??? if it ripbot not support 1080i?? for 1080p working fine..

[Wishbringer]

Ripbot encodes progressiv per default
You have to deinterlace via GUI or to add switch (x264 command with --interlaced, --tff or -bff) in presetfile or to use Interlaced preset/profile.

is this to me ?

[Trayman]

@damia yes Wishbringer means you.
1080i stands for interlaced and 1080p stands for progressiv.

Been using ripbot264 for a long time ripping mostly blu-rays using 2 pass,some can take up to 8hrs,never had a problem and results are excellent.
But today i had 2 bsod's while encoding,i can't find any info and minidump folder is empty.
I'm in the UK and at the moment we're in the throws of a heatwave,is it possible that the extra heat on the processor(intel i5) is causing laptop to overheat and cause bsod.
Thanks for any help.

[Guest]

I'm in the UK and at the moment we're in the throws of a heatwave,is it possible that the extra heat on the processor(intel i5) is causing laptop to overheat and cause bsod. Yes, of course. Is your cooling up to snuff?

[tommytinkroom]

Yes, of course. Is your cooling up to snuff?
Using a Samsung laptop,fan always blows a bit hot,when encoding.
I'm going to start the encode again at midnight when the temperature has dropped a bit.
Go to bed and see if i've got a job finished showing on ripbot when i get up.

[NiteShdw]

I'm getting a DTS decoding error during the ripping process, which causes the rip to fail. The rip is being done from an ISO image, so I know it's not a read error on the disc.

If I rip it as core DTS, is there another tool I could use to convert the DTS to wave or the DTS to AAC 5.1?

[hoju3508]

@NiteShdw, use eac3to.

UPDATE:Everything ok no bsod and encode finished.
I think the bottom line for me is during a heatwave don't do any encoding till late at night when the temperature drops a bit and keep the room fan on.

[NiteShdw]

@NiteShdw, use eac3to.

That's what Ripbot is running automatically and that's what's giving the DTS decoding error.

The ArcSoft DTS Decoder reported an error while decoding.
Aborted at file position 563347456.

[aldix]

Does distributed encoding also work if I'd to feed the GUI Avisynth script, not explicit file like avi/mkv, etc.?

How to encode hardsub ripbot? sub must be srt. or ass. file?

[Cubbi]

Usw this tool since year's.
Thanks for this simple tool.

[damia]

also same..

[aldix]

How hard is it to reply. Is Distributed Encoding working with Avisynth script, too? Meaning if I wouldn't feed it the source file itself, but the script containing it.

[Atak_Snajpera]

avs is not supported. see ripbot264.ini

[zeroprobe]

@Atak_Snajpera

I posted a while ago, because RipBot264 won't open AVI files, i have the same problem for now.
(Direct show source: the filter graph won't talk to me etc.)
Do you have any advice? please, my Let's play videos have got a, well, bad quality (the quality changes from good to bad very often).
Want to render them in AVI and then encode them to MP4 with RipBot so the Video does not loose the quality.

Thought I would add my contribution to this problem. I had the same thing.

It seemed to be when you tick Enable AVI Support when installing Haali Media Splitter. Reinstall it and don't tick it.

This worked for me.

[aldix]

Well, that sure blows.

[8ternity]

HI Atak,

I've got an error with ripbot264 while demuxing one or two mkv file.

I had the error "EConvertError" in module RipBot264.exe at 0000949A. Unknow / 150900' is not a valid floating point value.

I've got the same error with another mkv file. I demuxed and remuxed with mkvmerge, everything pass well, and redoes the same.

Could you help me with that please?

THanks :) :devil:

[Atak_Snajpera]

send me 50mb sample

[Jake802]

Any ideas why RipBot264 would just stop? So It appears no matter what I try with it I hang. I get No Error Message but I get to the following:

Pass1... [0.0%] 51530/493015046 frames, 31.63 fhps, 64329 kbps, eta 4329:02:05

Anyone have any ideas Please Let Me Know!

[Atak_Snajpera]

Does it hang on all file types (mp4,mkv and so on) or just one?

[Jake802]

It's definitely hanging on mkv, let me see if I have another file type to try. I will get back to you.

[aldix]

Can you please consider supporting avs input. Doing direct sources (avi, mkv, m2ts) via distributed encoding, is, of course, insane. Just aggregated ~100fps over 6 cores w/ --preset veryslow, but I very rarely do straight-up transparent encoding and need some extra script fiddling that x264 internally just doesn't provide.

edit: of course I could make an intermediate file locally in one of my machines & then distribute encode that, but kind of beats the purpose now, doesn't it?

Please think about it.

[Jake802]

Hi Atak, It appears to be mkv files only. What are your suggestions?

Thanks!

[Atak_Snajpera]

Hi Atak, It appears to be mkv files only. What are your suggestions?

Thanks!

1) Uninstall ffdshow and haali media splitter
2) reboot
3) Install latest ffdshow and haali miedia splitter

Why don't you inject your script directly in ripbot? However you will have to use network paths. For example LoadPlugin("\\HOST-PC\RipBot264temp\Tools\...") Otherwise slave pcs won't be able to load your avisynth plugins.

Wait, what? How? :)

Injecting my script directly to RipBot is what I've been trying to do all this time.

It just starts encoding it in the primary PC even if I choose the avs from RipBot264Temp folder and everything.

I changed the few Loadplugin calls I had to "\\my-pc...", but to no avail.

All my plugins used aren't explicitly called, rather they are autoload .avsi extensions. Perhaps that's the problem?

Even so, didn't You say that distributed encoding doesn't support avs input. Which is it now? ;)

Many thanks for replying, though!

[Atak_Snajpera]

You have to open mkv ,mp4 ... in ripbot and then add your magic scripts in gui. You must ensure that ALL paths are \\my-pc ... in your .avsis

[aldix]

Umm... how do you add scripts in the GUI? You either load mkv etc or avs and that's it. Or am I missing something?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Properties -> show script

[aldix]

Yeah, I understand that. But I'm using DGIndexNV for indexing...

[aldix]

Been trying out with replacing the script via prop->show script with my own, but it always ends with the program not finding something called "info.txt" from the job1 folder.

How to fix that?

[Jake802]

Thanks Atak! It worked like a charm. My RipBot is back up and encoding!

[Atak_Snajpera]

Paste your job1.avs script and your extra scripts here. I will see what you are doing wrong ;)

However, still only one machine encodes, not both. # of Frames is 8000, ideally one should do 5K, another whats left.

Made a pic, you can see how gradual % and ETA is all messed up. Basically the same one machine just continues to do second chunk.

http://thumbnails106.imagebam.com/26949/3cf962269481739.jpg (http://www.imagebam.com/image/3cf962269481739)

We're definitely getting somewhere, but we're not there just yet :/

[aldix]

Well, lo and behold - IT'S WORKING with whole file, i.e. with Trim commented out. I would rather do test encodes in a distributed fashion as well, but if that's not at all possible, well, I can't really complain ;)

Another thing is that x264 preset and tune keeps changing to 'default' once I set 'em to veryslow and film. Not sure if there's ultimately any effect for quality, but figured I'd just take a note of it.
