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

[Atak_Snajpera]

I recommend to install UT Video codec (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Ut-Video-Codec-Suite) to save space.
Experts would use Frameserver DebugMode (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Debugmode-FrameServer)

Record your desktop with fraps or other similar software and upload video to www.mediafire.com. I want to see what is happening on your pc.
BTW. I do not think it has something to do with audio because audio is not encoded by client.

Are you using latest version from 02.01.2014? I've made silent update...
Sir,
Here is the link http://www.mediafire.com/download/rjd4q5twyqrc4cq/ripbot.avi. I restarted the process from the beginning with the new version. Same result.

I agree with you on the audio but this is the third Blu-Ray that has failed DE and all were Dolby TrueHD. I know it sounds odd to me also, but I encode one with DTS-MA after to check and all is fine.

Awwww Yeah! :D
Working... but the quality of video is low :(
The other settings help in video quality?

thank you so much!!!!

[afman75]

Can you try with older version 1.17.4?

The previous version 1.17.4 was the one that gave me the original error. It is identical to the one I recorded and fails in the exact same place with the exact same error.

As a long shot, you didn't happen to throw in a verbose log or debug switch in the program?

My HTPC had the older version of RipBot installed and it gives me the same error. I also noticed that when previewing the script there is no audio on the TrueHD files but there is audio on the DTS files. NicAudio problem? Haali also shows there isn't an audio channel being processed.

[nekrovski]

remux all your problematic wmv to mkv and set correct fps in muxer
Sorry but how do I do that? What software should I use?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Sorry but how do I do that? What software should I use?

use mmg.exe . it is located in tool/mkvtoolnix folder

[PNC]

download 1.17.5
what a f... coding does not start, it tries to connects to something and thats all.

i will have to prepare special debug version for you . it will basically contain multiple catches in code. this will help me to locate part of the code which fails.

[Atak_Snajpera]

@PNC
change this in ripbot264.ini

UseDistributedEncoding=0

That would be great! But, I don't necessarily want to put you through any extra work. You do a heck of a job taking care of us as it is.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I'm just curious... so do not worry about me :)

[afman75]

I am also since the program works like a champ in stand alone mode. Just appears to hit that one line in the encoding client when getting ready to process the chunks. Doesn't make sense.

[nekrovski]

I know you might lose some nerves with me, but please bear with me :D
I can't add wmv files in mmg.exe
I have tried remuxing the wmvs to mkv with dsmux and the muxing fails at a specific time. This makes me believe that something else is problematic in the videos.

What I noticed, let's say my file is 20 minutes long, I remux it, it fails at certain point but creates a 5:39 minutes file.
When I open my original 20 minutes video, I notice that my player kinda skips a second (it goes faster than a second from 5:38 to 5:39) right at the 5:39 mark.

[Atak_Snajpera]

@afman75
I think you may be right about audio. I've checked again your video and I noticed something weird in script.

#AVSameLength
Trim(0,-974524)

Negative number clearly shows that NicAudio was not able to correctly determine duration of audio stream.

Could you make a screenshot of ENCODING SETTINGS window?

yes you are right. I forgot that WMV is not yet supported in mkv. My mistake. I'm not sure what can you do with this file now.

[afman75]

@nekrovski Don't mean to hawk another product, bad taste, but Handbrake would take care of this.

[afman75]

I will certainly do that.

[afman75]

Here is the screenshot: http://www.mediafire.com/view/lf8bplr17s4l99a/ripbot.jpg

You were right. When I looked at the video again I saw the duration in the job.ini file was -11 hours. That has been consistent on both machines I have tried. Now, what is the fix. Manually adding the last frame to .ini?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Try this
1) Before pressing START open job1.avs in notepad and remove this line

#AVSameLength
Trim(0,-974524)

2) save and click START

I could try to implement an automatic workaround if you sent me 100 MB of that TrueHD audio. Use DGSplit.

[afman75]

Haven't used DGSplit before but I will take care of it immediately.

[afman75]

Here is the link to the file you requested: http://www.mediafire.com/listen/9g1tsqt02ypl682/audio_English.thd_.ac3

Thanks for all the support. Going to give your work around a try.

[afman75]

Gave the work around a try and it still failed.:)

[Atak_Snajpera]

maybe this will help
http://www.mediafire.com/download/0ndbxwwnys9/RipBot264.exe

important note
delete old job

[afman75]

Man you are FAST!!!

That worked like a charm. Even down converted the audio and video (IPOD Classic) just to give a try and no problems. Of course the info in the encoding settings window is still wrong but DE works. Awesome!
I did look at the Nicaudio page and as of its last update the TODO list was for Dolby to support Dolby Digital Plus so I can assume it's a no go for Dolby TrueHD. I guess that leaves eac3to using libav to get the info if possible.

Thanks for all the work!

@PNC
change this in ripbot264.ini

UseDistributedEncoding=0
thanks
why this value is not for default in this version?

[somy]

Hi,
I read the description that RipBot264 requires Halli and FFDShow, is it still the case today?
In my system I have LAV splitter and filters, does RipBot264 work with them?
Thank you in advance!

[Wishbringer]

would be interested too, if change to LAV is planned or done.
Even clsid (one of the supporters of ffdshow) states that ffdshow tryouts are halted and LAV is superior to them.
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1656599#post1656599

[aldix]

Nothing stops you from having ffdshow as well. I have both and everything works.

[Wishbringer]

@aldix:
That was not the question. We too have ffdshow, and we also have LAV installed. But ffdshow it isn't further developed. LAV is better.
But Ripbot demands ffdshow. It would be nice to switch to LAV and remove ffdshow.
It's like having VC2013+ installed and a programm still demands VC6.

In many things ppl can customize Ripbot (of course without support of Atak).
e.g. changing to newer x264, using newer tsmuxer, newer mediainfo, newer mkvtoolnix, newer mpc and so on.
Ripbot doesn't check their versions. It's on customizers to have a working system and useable output.
But ffdshow was slowly developed and bugfixed.
Example: in the past with release of Win8 all my encodes were flipped topdown because of ffdshow, so I had to use a win7 VM to further use Ripbot

[aldix]

Well, personally I use ffvideosource primarily (DSS does all kinds of odd things for me) and that appears to link directly to LAV, I don't see ffdshow ever getting active like with DSS.

There's lots of stuff, upgrade-like, to want from RipBot (personally I'd like to see DGIndexNV implemented), but this isn't, after all, a pay product and one shouldn't treat it like one.
Ultimately, whatever happens / changes is Atak's personal choice.

[slalom]

I had a dream yesterday.. :rolleyes:

Will the Atak relented after many requests? :confused:

[slalom]

Am I so good at Corel??

I think It's a polite way of asking it... lol

[aldix]

Hmm, I've been having constant troubles with TS.

Program demuxes the audio track, but doesn't transfer demuxed video into the job folder, but instead leaves the source marker (for lack of more adequate phrase) to point at original TS location.

Because of that encode either doesn't start at all, or just starts locally w/o DE mode.

Can anyone confirm this and/or help me out somehow?

edit: doesn't even work locally. Sits at 'Please wait...' for about 30 seconds and then just finishes. Script is as basic as it gets:


#MT


#VideoSource

video=DirectShowSource("\\[redacted]\test.ts",audio=false).ConvertToYV12()

#Deinterlace
Loadplugin("C:\[redacted]\RipBot264v1.17.5\Tools\AviSynth plugins\TIVTC\TIVTC.dll")
video=tfm(video,order=1)

#Decimate
Loadplugin("C:\[redacted]\RipBot264v1.17.5\Tools\AviSynth plugins\TIVTC\TIVTC.dll")
video=TDecimate(video)

Hello all! i recently upgraded to a dual xeon processor workstation and was hoping to get a little help here. i have been using ripbot for several years now and it is by far the best solution IMO. my old rig was an i5 2500k and ripbot kept the processor pegged at 100% which was good. i move to a dual xeon and now ripbot keeps them pegged at 50%, so i am assuming it is only utilizing one processor. looked through the .ini and dont see anything i can modify. where can i designate the number of cores i want used? i would like to throttle them both at 100% if possible. thanks in advance!

Just enable distributed encoding and add additional encoding server sessions until your CPU is pegged as high as you want. For me it takes 3 sessions, but I've only one CPU (albeit quad core).

i was only able to start one session with this machine. used the 127.0.0.1 IP... is there a trick to this? is ripbot able to utilize dual processors?

have you seen this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-BICnj62iE&feature=youtu.be ? See at 2:38

[treyking11]

thanks for the response. however, when i enable distributed encoding within the .ini and press "start" with my .ts file loaded in ripbot, the encoding client does not launch automatically. i tried launching it manually but could not get it to work. i am using v1.17.5... thanks for your help!

[slalom]

I think .ts is not supported in DE. Try to convert it to mkv first with mkvmerge

Had the exact same problem as described on the previous page, but obviously no-one replied to that. Great that your attempt was more successful.

[aldix]

Thanks for the tip. Though yet another runaround which shouldn't be required.

[aldix]

Well, mmg made some really odd mkv file which even throws an error in MediaInfo. Don't really know how to proceed.

[Atak_Snajpera]

now you know why i haven't enabled .ts in de mode.

[aldix]

Well, isn't there any kind of fix (other than just not using RipBot) to this, at all? I mean, while I'm just starting to dabble in TS encoding, it isn't like obscure, but done on daily basis?

However, it's very unfortunate. I suppose I'll have to use something else and kludge it through remote connection (2nd PC is more used for encoding than first one).

Thanks for the feedback, anyways.

[Jake802]

Hi Atak! Every now and then when I got to encode something I get the following error msgs....

14010

14011

I am wondering are these issues due to the file or is it a program error?

[inge70]

ripbot searches for the demux the file "demuxlog.txt". strange, when I load a file in ripbot, there's no demuxlod.txt .. a bug, it is not. this message appears each video file which you load in ripbot or only this one?

Moreover, ripbot displays in the background that there is no audio. possibly this is the error that is causing this message ..

maybe it recognizes in you the audio file is not in the video.
