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?

Yeah I guess I do.

Quad Core Extreme 6850
4GB Ram
1TB Raid(stripping)

I usually pick 2 pass and use about the same settings.

[Sarreq Teryx]

wow, there's really that much of a difference between a duo and a quad? meanwhile I'm chugging along with an Athlon64 3200+, I really need a new system……

Send me samples mkv and evo

Here is the MKV sample. 1 minute, VC-1 1920X1080P 23.976fps. No audio

Here is the MKV sample. 1 minute, VC-1 1920X1080P 23.976fps. No audio
You couldn't add that mkv due to bug in my app. (Videos without audio didn't work). It will be fixed in next version.

here you go, 37.5MB, 1280x720x119.88fps divx6.8 mp3
Decimate from 119,88 -> 23.976 will be also added.

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.)

Fixed. Wait for new version.

Atak_Snajpera - I read that you had trouble with Casino Royale - I am about to re-encode this bluray movie. Did you manage to sort out the problem with this?

[Atak_Snajpera]

I had DVD version

[Sarreq Teryx]

thanks muchly.

while I'm thinking of, drag-n-drop would be nice too: drop a file onto the main window to make a queue item, then hit edit. or maybe put a drop list for profile selection on the main page also.

[jamd1]

Just had problem with BluRay Chicken Little . Program finishes at the end of Pass 1 - with "all jobs done"- video.264 is zero bytes and no movie is created. Tried twice with same result. I tried manually running job1_EncodeVideoPass2.cmd before closing the program and cmd message is x264 error - cannot find job1 stats. Job1.stats.temp is in the temp\job1 directory tho.Text in pass2.cmd is:

Any suggestions to fix ?- I saved all the temp files before closing Ripbot.

Also - soory to ask again but is there a simple way to split my 4.2gb mp4 files - I actually have 2 of them and would rather not re-encode the whole movies again.
Thx for your help.

[mpiper]

Well, after muxing in my AC3 with the VC-1 video into an MKV file, I can get Ripbot to open, read and prepare to re-encode them. It even allows me to select resizing them to 1280X720.

Now my last question: I want to burn it as a mini-Bluray (DVD-4). Is the blu ray selection an ISO, or does it generate the folder structure for burning?

Looks like a great product!! Just need to know what to expect when I get the finished product.

I just tried to run this (after updating all the tools) and x264.exe (826) rejected a command you sent. Reverting back to the original x264 encoder allowed it to start encoding. (still running)

Below is the log from the first attempt with the newest x264 engine:

Any ideas why the newer and improved version should die on that command?

[~bT~]

^ it will create bd structure. just use imgburn to burn to disc.

new x264 wont work without an update as a few things have changed afaik.

[Atak_Snajpera]

You must always use .modified. version! Standard x264 do not have --nal-hrd

[mpiper]

Two questions?
1. Where do I get the newest .modified. versions of x264?
2. what does the --nal-hrd command do?

I'm running a newer, lower end PC (E6300 1.86Ghz Core2Duo, 3GB Ram), and I started the run 11 hours ago. The entire movie is 1:38. I still have at least another hour to go. Is this about the time I should expect per movie?

So far, this is the easiest tool for vc-1 to h264 conversion I've found!

I had the same cpu but I mine was overclocked to 2.8 GHz without even rising cpu voltage :) Good advice! Do the same :)

How can you do that?
I am using E6750.

[mpiper]

After umpteen (12+) hours, the encode finished! .bluray created the entire folder structure. Burnt to disc with Imgburn. Disc plays flawlessly on my PC and testing on a friends PS3 (mine is on next month's budget) to ensure it plays.

Awesome and flawlessly simple!

Some feature requests?
1. Allow reading of EVOs (eac3to is already part of package)
2. Allow choice of single-pass, ABR encoding (for rush jobs)
3. Allow adding additional filters to the AVS script (I would love to add undot, for example, or a temporal smoother for extra grainy film sources).

Otherwise? LOVE IT!!!

[jamd1]

Some feature requests?
2. Allow choice of single-pass, ABR encoding (for rush jobs)

Definitely a good idea - also it would be nice and time saving to choose the audio file and then demux (rather than demuxing all streams automatically - esp pcm-flac conversion and movies with many audio streams).
Tried 3 different gui's now and this is definitely the best in terms of simplicity and end product quality.
The above requests and any options that can help save time on the lengthy encoding process would be great.

BTW - the only movie i had trouble with was chicken little bluray. I did manage to encode by using the ripbot264's .cmd's manually . I only ran pass1 and mux files.By only doing the first pass the Movie was very good quality with pixelation only noticeable in the credits.

[mpiper]

Another MAJOR?!? Feature request:

Can you add the ability to import the chapter list (like those created by eac3to) to allow skipping through the movie?

Mike

[Atak_Snajpera]

how do you create that chapter list with eac3to?

[mpiper]

If you use eac3to (and one of the GUIs, I like "eac3toGUI.exe" which I found on this board), it generates a full demux. Here is what I got from demuxing an HD-DVD I am encoding with your program:
PEVOB_1 - 3 - VC-1, 1080p.vc1
PEVOB_1 - 4 - E-AC3, English, 5.1 channels, 640kbps, 48khz.eac3
PEVOB_1 - 5 - E-AC3, French, 2.0 channels, 192kbps, 48khz.eac3
PEVOB_1 - 6 - E-AC3, Spanish, 2.0 channels, 192kbps, 48khz.eac3
PEVOB_1 - 7 - E-AC3, English, 2.0 channels, 192kbps, 48khz, 'Commentary'.eac3
PEVOB_1 - 8 - Subtitle, English, 'SDH'.sup
PEVOB_1 - 9 - Subtitle, French.sup
PEVOB_1 - 10 - Subtitle, Spanish.sup
PEVOB_1 - Chapters.txt

The command line I used was:
"L:\HD\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "L:\FullDisc\DVD_VOLUME\HVDVD_TS\PEVOB_1.EVO"+"L:\FullDisc\DVD_VOLUME\HVDVD_TS\PEVOB_2.EVO" "L:\FullDisc\DVD_VOLUME\HVDVD_TS\PEVOB_1vc1"-demux -stripPulldown


Hope this helps!

thats kool didn't know that... live you learn

[nekrosoft13]

thanks for ripbot excellent program.

is there any possible way to fix audio sync issues? so far re-encoded two .TS files with MPEG2 and 5.1AC3 to H264. In both files there was sync issue with audio when output to blu-ray folder.

took the finished file loaded in tsmuxer, took the original audio stream muxed it back, and audio sync is fine.

[mpiper]

The two GUIs I use for demuxing EVOs are:
http://madshi.net/EAC3toGUI.zip - this does the best job of demuxing every stream and creating chapters. 192kbps AC3 never works with this GUI, don't know why.

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=135095 - This one does a great job of converting EAC3 to standard AC3 at 192kbps or lower.

This may seem like overkill, but here is what I am doing right now:
1. Installing Ripbot and the required AviSynth/FFDShow/Matroska programs. I created a folder in "Program FIles" and added a link on my start bar for Ripbot264, so it looks and operates is if it were "installed."
2. Update the "tools" (If there is a newer version of a file, I rename the current one "file.old.exe", then copy the new one in and rename to match the original filename. I keep the old in case the new "breaks" ripbot.)
3. Copy the two eac3to GUIs into the eac3to folder in "tools" and put a shortcut on the desktop/startbar.

Then, to convert an HD-DVD to BR I use only the Ripbot264 tools, no extras needed. The finished movie fits on DVDs (4 or 9, depending on movie length).
1. Use eac3to and the GUIs to split the video and "downsave" the EAC3 to AC3.
2. Use TsMuxer to remux the video and new AC3 into a M2TS file.
3. Start Ripbot264, load the new M2TS.
4. Set video properties to resize to 1280X720.
5. Add the .sup subtitles in 2nd page of properties.(in container,not in picture).
6. Set bitrate (manually) to either 5120, 5630 (DVD4, adjust to fit), 7680 or 8192 (DVD9, adjust as needed).
7. Build to the Bluray profile.

Taking a 1920X1080 HD movie to 1280X720 keeps tons of detail, and the reduced number of actual pixels allows the lower bitrate to match the same quality level as the original. If I kept the videos at 1920X1080, like I have seen some people do, the drop in bitrate from 15,000kbps to between 5000 and 8000kbps results in very blocky/ugly encodes.

Just wanted to share my method of using this great program. The resulting DVDs have played as BluRay disks on 4 different PCs perfectly. Final test is if they work on a PS3. (I've been told they play perfectly by other users, but testing mine will happen this week to be sure my process works 100%.)

Before encoding always check if your video stream in TS always starts at IDR-Frame! If not then you get sync problems. h264-cutter should help you next time.

Set bitrate (manually) to either 5120, 5630 (DVD4, adjust to fit), 7680 or 8192 (DVD9, adjust as needed).
Why do you set bitrate manually???? Lock size does not work or what???

[mpiper]

The only reason I manually set bitrate is that the finished video was slightly oversized on a previous encode. (I blame TsMuxer, since same thing happened on a previous effort with it before I found your program.)

The numbers are merely multiples of 1024 (5, 5.5, 7.5, and 8). I learned a long time ago that certain players and encoders work best with multiples of 2 in all aspects (i.e. width and height of video, bitrate, audio encoding bitrate, etc.) so I always try to use multiples of 2, or multiples of powers of 2 (32, 64, 128, 192, 640, 1024, etc.)

Newer programs and codecs may not be so sensitive to the binary rule, but I still follow it. I am not remotely saying people should not use the "lock size" feature. I was just giving an example of how I was using it, starting from an EVO file to a finished BR disk.

This is the weirdest thing I have heard lately :) Especially when we talk about bitrate...

[Ajax_Undone]

Hey it works for me... an education for free is the way I see it...

[mpiper]

I'm not the best at understanding or explaining this, but I'll try: The reason for using multiples or exponents of 2 is based on 3 things:

1. Odd numbers tend to divide leaving remainders, which get rounded, causing "errors" or shifts. For example, a video that is 321X240 can crash Adobe's Media encoder if the wrong codec is used, but 320X240 or 322X240 both work fine. Many open source encoders can finish the encode through brute force, but if a brand name encoder can crash, should we use that resolution.
2. Exponents of 2 utilize the physical structure of memory better. Look at the range of colors in RGB, 0-255 = 256 total, a multiple of 2, and also an exponent. These settings aren't by accident. It's the easiest and most effective way to store binary data. 8 bits = 2 to the 8th power, which is 256. Any less and you waste bits, any more and you roll to using an entire second set of bits (8 of them) for the next level, which again wastes memory, since 2 sets of 8 = 2^16 = 65536. So using a number like 313 requires that enough space for 65536 be used, but leaves tons of empty space. That is why Photoshop uses 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit color spaces (I think).
3. What if the number you choose happenes to be a prime number? Most calculations done in encoding involve dividing data (Think about the 2X2, 4X4, etc. settings in filters, matrices, etc.) How do you divide a prime number?

Not sure if that made sense, since I barely understand the entire codec concept, especially matrices (mpeg1,2,4) and anything remotely related to h.264. And now that memory is cheap, I'm not sure how much the old binary exponents matter in efficient coding practices. But that's the best I can explain it.

Only recently discovered Ripbot264 and use it daily to covert videos for iphone. My only wish is I'd like to 480x320 (Native iPhone Res) added in size templates.That would really save some time. And the ability to save jobs list in sort of text based file, so I could edit same parameters (size/crop) to apply for multiple videos.

Hope it's not too much trouble.
Thanks in advance.

Yes I learned this in my first few months of Tech school...

I am now in Grphics art and disign... Just picked up video encoding as a half paced effort on my part to learn about all the different ideas about 3 years ago...

PSP has similar vertical resolution 480x272 (16:9 or 1.78) . iPhone has 480x320 (1.5). if your movie has 16:9 aspect ratio then You must use 480x272 resolution (PSP profile). If your source has 4:3 then you use iPod profile. Simple!

mpiper
2-pass and CQ mode = VBR so it doesn't matter if you use for example 1023 or 1024! You really like to complicate your life :)

[mpiper]

Atak, you're probably right!:) I'm still very used to the older stuff (mjpeg was the video editing codec when I learned video editing, and miniDV didn't hit the market until 6 months after we started doing videos for my company.). So I just follow old habits.

Has anyone ever had any issues with the locks disc sizes in RipBot? i.e. the DVD4 and DVD9 ones? If they never go over the locked size, I may make life easier and use that. I'm just not sure how loose the variable rate is with x264, so I worry that a difficult encode might result in an oversized movie, which must be re-encoded to fit on a disc. (At 12-18 hours per movie, I'm not into repeats :D )

I have basically been using the lock to see the MAX bitrate that can be used for my movie, then rounding down to the nearest 1024 multiple, to allow for excess in the VBR. If the algorythms in your prog and x264 itself are tight enough to garrantee no oversizing, I'll use it for simplicity's sake.

BTW, a friend at work has been helping test the movies, and he wants to use your program, so I am writing a tutorial that includes installing, ripping, demuxing and then finally encoding. Writing it also is helping me bulletproof my process. RipBot264 is the featured program, so I'll post the finished product here at Doom9. (And I won't include my personal "quirks," only proper steps to garantee working movies.)

Lock size does not work well only in one case. Blu-Ray Structure + DTS audio.

You can edit the templates and save them as you wish you know...

No, you can't, only x264 settings are part of profile. All setting of particular job stored in temp dir, if that's what you are referring to.

PSP has similar vertical resolution 480x272 (16:9 or 1.78) . iPhone has 480x320 (1.5). if your movie has 16:9 aspect ratio then You must use 480x272 resolution (PSP profile). If your source has 4:3 then you use iPod profile. Simple!

Thanks, It'll do for now. I just thought there is easy way to add this in next version....

You can create new Profiles in the RipBot264\Profiles folder...

It really isnt all that complicated... use Notepad make a *.txt file change the *.txt extention to *.ini open the file with Notepad and add and change code inside... Very simple really

Please tell me what exactly the parameter name which defines size and crop of video ? I can't seem to find documentation for Ripbot

Hi Atak_Snajpera,

Any chance to include the insert chapter option from the Blu-ray tab in tsMuxer into RipBot264 in the next release?
:thanks:

Great program, just one little strange thing. When I use it on the computer with two monitors, RipBot opens on the second monitor, which I do not always have turned on. I can drag it to the first monitor, but when I click ADD, that also opens on the second monitor. I am using "extend my desktop" for the second monitor which is a DLP HDTV used for playing files. Is there any setting I can change to get Ribbot to open only on the first monitor?

Thanks

It's a bug in NicAudio plugin. I have temporary solution for you.
Replace these lines

LoadPlugin("C:\Users\Dawidos\Documents\Delphi_Projects\RipBot264\tools\AviSynth plugins\NicAudio\NicAudio.dll")
audio=NicAC3Source("C:\Users\Dawidos\Desktop\smallville.s07e18_audio-001_Track1.ac3")

with following:

LoadPlugin("C:\Users\Dawidos\Documents\Delphi_Projects\RipBot264\tools\AviSynth plugins\bassAudio\bassAudio.dll")
audio=bassaudioSource("C:\Users\Dawidos\Desktop\smallville.s07e18_audio-001_Track1.ac3")

or
audio=DirectShowSource("C:\Users\Dawidos\Desktop\smallville.s07e18_audio-001_Track1.ac3")

Fixed in new version

Chapters are automatically added every 5 minutes in my personal 1.9.3 beta

Just tried fantastic 4 blu-ray which has master dts audio (3.5gb just for 1 audio track lol) I tried making it to 640kbps .ac3 in the "blu-ray " option - but the sound is all garbage. Is there a way to properly compress the dts audio?

[mpiper]

Any chance we can get the newest version Atak? 1.9.3 beta sounds like fun! :)

The crop and and size are determined by the AVS script in your temp folder...

This because you have asked RipBot to encode the DTS-HD-MA track to AC3 640kpbs, you cannot do this as it needs to be converted into AC3. You have 2 options:
1.
Leave the audio profile as x.x copy stream and the final project will have a DTS-HD-MA audio track. Although this will play in some older versions of PowerDVD and the latest version of WinDVD it will not play in the latest versions of PowerDVD or a standalone Blu-Ray player as you have not made a AVCHD disk to spec. You will get just sound and no video or the reverse or a unknown format type error come up.

The AVCHD spec does not support DTS audio tracks, only AC3 5.1 upto 640kbps or LCPM 7.1 upto 1.5mbps:

2.
Demux the DTS audio track out, convert to AC3 with eac3to and remux AC3 audio track back and then feed this new .m2ts back into Ripbot

Discoboy

Thanks for the help Discoboy. I still have the demuxed video.264 and job1---.dts files made by Ripbot . If i can make a .ac3 from the .dts I can probably figure out how to remux them together. I've looked into the the dos help file of eac3to which doesn't give any examples on how to convert a HD .dts to .ac3. If possible please could you give me the commandline to do this ? Thx again.
