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

[guest]

Hi Atak,

Just tried my first HEVC encode, and with all the default settings, and using DE, it took over twice the time to do, what the previous version did. :(

Am I missing something ??, has that avisynth mt setting got anything to do with it ???

[Atak_Snajpera]

This is normal because x265 uses more time consuming calculations in order to achieve higher quality than previous avc standard.

BETA 1 is the first version with x265 support so I'm not sure what you mean regarding 'previous version'

Yeah, sorry, I meant 17.5 :)

Turns out that I can't play this codec on my TV, so at this stage, I guess I won't be using it anymore :(

Thanks for the info :)

[Jake802]

I have 2 Questions:

1. Does mp4 Conversion take a long time? It was seeming to on the one I was trying
2. Is there any reason my AVHCD File would not go to the selected 23830 Size Option?

Thanks

Just thought I would share encoding time on x265 with my ancient AMD 1045T processor. Encoding Thor 2 using the predefined preset and only resizing to 720p yielded an 11hr encode with that processor getting around 4fps.

[Atak_Snajpera]

That's really slow. I've tested encoding speed on my other machine ( Q8200@2.8Ghz ) with 10 min of drive movie.
Frame size : 1280x534
Preset : FAST
CRF 20

Your CPU should be 50% faster than my quad. No idea why you get only 4fps?!?

Hi Atak, I having a problem when trying to encode MPEG2 file on my RDP server.
this is what i get:
http://i.imgur.com/3aEYi7I.png
what should i do?

[mmmmdonut]

The 1045T processor is a dog even with six cores and was only slightly faster than my old q6600 proc. I'm not concerned about speed as I have time let the box churn away and just want start playing around with x265 and provide any feedback or ability do any testing you might need.

Using my Thor 2 source and encoding at CRF 18 and CRF 20 both resized, this cpu's fps for the encode was 3.90 and 4.03 respectively. So far both videos look clean using vlc as the player.

While adding a job (batch mode) an error came up

"Access violation at address 00519042 in module ripbot264.exe. Read of address FFFFFFFF."
v. 1.17.4

Fixed
settings "disappeared" from ripbot.ini file

[stasi]

Just testet the AviSynth MT with RipBot BETA. I encoded a file from BR to mkv, resized to 640x360. It took 1:23:36, and the CPU was running on ~70%. Then I just deleted the SetMTMode line in the job.avs. The same encode took 39:12, ~half the time. So, on my AMD six core AviSynth MT is slower than non MT. Has anyone still such problems with AviSynth?

[Atak_Snajpera]

According to my tests I get the best results by simply encoding multiple chunks at the same time. I advise you to do the same in order to eliminate bottlenecks in script.

[slalom]

"Access violation at address 00519042 in module ripbot264.exe. Read of address FFFFFFFF."

That weird error and the .ini was a consequence of HDD errors. Everything is OK now

hi atak, can you please help me?
it's also don't encode me.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I do not use remote desktop so I can not help here.

[Guest]

Try TightVNC or some other remote access method.

[Ajax_Undone]

Hey I've been wondering if you could incorporate a minimize to task tray option or a run in the background option? It would be nice.. =;)

[master1000]

I do not use remote desktop so I can not help here.

it's happened to my friend too, in hes computer.
you don't recognize the problem?

[Atak_Snajpera]

I haven't experienced that problem on my two windows 7 machines. Maybe record your desktop with fraps so we could see how this looks from your perspective. It is hard to tell something smart from just looking at single screenshot.

I think I solved the problem.
I install .net framework 3.5 and the problem gone.
anyway, thanks for the help.

Hi Atak,
could you please add the audio delay option in batch mode?

[Atak_Snajpera]

yes I could.

Feature Request:

Hi Atak,

would it be possible to allow multiple job creation. what I am looking for is I have a PC with 3 Bluray drives, and I would like to click on the add button 3x and have all 3 discs demuxing at the same time... or is this already possible somehow?

[Atak_Snajpera]

That would require to much work.

[damia]

Hai Atak..

do u have any plan to add more server in DE???

[guest]

Hai Atak..

do u have any plan to add more server in DE???

I know this has been asked many times before (even me).

I have been giving it some thought, by adding more DE Servers, would be VERY beneficial for those doing 265 encodes, as 265 is a lot slower than an equivalent 264 encode. So any help would be a bonus.

I'm sure Atak would be able to achieve this, if he put his mind to it.

Food for thought ???? :sly:

[docholliday]

Hey Atak,

How can i add second audio?

[slalom]

You can do that with mkvmerge for the moment

[aldix]

Please add support for TS Stream in DE mode.

All you have to do is add DGIndex to process TS to make d2v.

[Atak_Snajpera]

You blindly assume that all TS streams contain mpeg2 data. Majority of current TS streams in europe are encoded as interlaced h.264/AVC. Unfortunately DGAVCdec does not support interlaced AVC (outdated libavcodec. New version according to neuron2 does not fix serious issues in that matter ). FFmpegSource shares the same code with libavcodec so it is also not reliable with interlaced content. In DE mode frame accurate seeking is absolutely in 100% required.

[ShogoXT]

Hi there! :)
I have a collection of a animated TV show ive been trying to convert over from DVDs. For a while I tried using Vidcoder, but for some reason it cannot seem to get rid of the weird hybrid interlacing the show uses no matter what setting. (Stopped short of trying to do custom number entries, which I cant find good examples for online).

Ripbot as always fixes the interlacing no problem with the IT(I guess its the mplayer IT that vidcoder has that cant do it?). Moved to using MakeMKV from DVDDecryptor for ease purposes. The only problem left is I still need multiple audio tracks.

Now I can manually use the MKVToolnix you have included already manually, and the readme for the FHG Encoder is easy enough (I can use old CMD dos prompt right?). I guess the main question is, is there any custom settings you have for the FHG that I need to make a 128 bitrate AAC or similar, depending on if its 2 channel or 5.1 channel?

Thank you very much for the great program.

[osgZach]

Anyone happen to know what tools/method Ripbot uses to create and rejoin its chunks for distributed encoding?
Very interested in finding out.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Chunks are created via avisynth script ( Trim(start_frame,end_frame) ) and then after encoding everything is joined via trayman's vjoin tool. You can also use plain copy /b for that purpose. I use trayman's tool because unlike copy.exe it shows percentage progress.

[osgZach]

I see. thanks.

Are you using a third party executable to save those chunks? (i.e what is actually running the AVS script when you do it; or are the chunks saved out via some Avisynth API?) Or did you just open it via the Windows AVI library and save chunks out that way?

I guess what I'm looking for is as much info as you're willing to give me, outlining the process, strictly related to creating the chunks (I'm assuming I will be able to figure out how to send stuff over a network by myself).

[Atak_Snajpera]

Take a look in Jobx/chunks folder. You will see bunch of x.avs files. Each file (script) has proper trim values. Those values are calculated by EncodingClient according to key-frames returned by ffmsindex tool (video.mkv.ffindex_track00.kf file). EncodingClient also prepares x.cmd for servers.All local paths (c:\blalal\...) must be changed to network paths (\\MY-PC\...)

[osgZach]

Well, I set things back up on my system, installed ffdshow, etc.. I hated having to do it, but now it seems I have other problems.

I selected an M2TS file I had sitting around from one of my Blu Rays I am working on cleaning up, it imported it fine into the job1 folder, setup my encoding options etc. Then when I go to run the job, it throws an error saying the source file could not be indexed.. Preview script opens fine, I can also open the file via AVS through Vdub, so I'm not sure what the deal is..

O_o

edit: will try importing the file directly off the Blu Ray Disc and see how that goes..

edit2: Nope... still same problem. "Source file could not be indexed"

edit3: Well it can't be the file, cause ffindex ran fine through MeGUI

edit4: Tried everything I could think of.. uninstalled all codec stuff, reinstalled ffdshow, haali media splitter, etc.

[Atak_Snajpera]

That message "Source file could not be indexed" in fact means that video.mkv.ffindex_track00.kf.txt has not been created. I suppose something is blocking write access.

if FileExists(CurrentJobFolder+'\video.mkv.ffindex_track00.kf.txt')=true then
begin
form1.TimeCodes.Items.Clear;
form1.TimeCodes.Items.LoadFromFile(CurrentJobFolder+'\video.mkv.ffindex_track00.kf.txt');
form1.TimeCodes.Items.Delete(0);
form1.TimeCodes.Items.Delete(0);
end
else
begin
form1.Status.Font.Color:=clMaroon;
form1.Status.Caption:='ERROR ! Source file could not be indexed ! Autoclosing in 5s...';
application.ProcessMessages;
sleep(5000);
CloseApp('EncodingClient.exe');
end;

[osgZach]

Strange.. could it be firewall related? That path is shared and should be writeable, the tools copy over so at least the root Temp\ folder is writeable for sure.
My firewall rules allowing it still appear to be intact as well.. At a bit of a loss here as to what could be blocking it... will try to figure it out I guess

[Atak_Snajpera]

btw does this happen with other files as well? avi,mp4 and so on...

Maybe your antivirus does something weird?

[aldix]

Well, the ones I work with, do...

Do you have checked the CPU utilisation during your encode, because my 1090T is used only at 50% when I encode, and I've added these param suggested by Atak :

My cpu is always 100%. Also I only run in CQ mode not 2 pass.

I'm new to Distributed Encoding and I gotta say I'm a fan!! I have one question though I haven't found anything posted on this particular subject yet, but, is it possible to evenly split up the queues between all your available machines? I'm running DE with two PC's.

It looks like you've hit 32 bit memory limit ;) Slower settings perform more intensive calculations on larger number of frames hence higher memory consumption.

very slow

I think the way it is set up is best. The faster PC does more chunks, so the job ends faster

[Killuah15]

Hey Atak, I've got this one problem again and i still don't know how to solve it...:

my Ripbot always says: DirectShowSource: RenderFile, the filter graph manager won't talk to me
(H:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)

u think my avi file is corrupt or is something not installed?

also: everytime i want to watch the rendered video, media Player Classic is giving me this info (the text up in the window: "Media Player Classic - Home Cinema couldn't bind some pins in the Filter-Graph. eventually, there aren't important Codecs or Filters installed" I appolagies for bad english though): https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1084x655q90/913/492544.jpg
