dnxhd is not lossless. It works more or less like mjpeg. I use ut video or magicyuv when I render something in sony vegas.

HERE is new encoding client -> http://www.mediafire.com/download/xy66s7t686az95g/EncodingClient.exe
Tested and works fine with UT video.

[ceth]

That explains why I had slight differences in the greys using DNxHD, I thought it was a misconfigured vegas option. Indeed it sounded weird it could be lossless being based on jpeg. My bad, lossless is indeed not mentionned anywhere about DNxHD.

Also sorry for the slight off topic but how do you render in UTvideo or magicYUV from vegas ? I have both codec installed but they don't appear in vegas codec list.

About the fixed encodingClient, I have just tried and it worked with my UTvideo sample, and with the lagarith sample too, thank you ! :)

Are there any issues or something to think about when installing the needed ffdshow directshow components when you have CCCP installed?

[screaming]

I went from v1.75 to v1.18.1 recently and 2 movies I tried encoding recently (a DVD and a Blu-Ray) have audio out of sync. On the Blu-Ray encode, I did preview the script and the audio was perfectly synced at the time before encoding.

I'd like to stay at the current version but I definitely need to fix this audio sync issue. Should I possibly try re-installing some core components, and if so what versions?

[Tsusai]

Just wanted to say thank you for an awesome tool. I've been using since as long as I remember, and as a thanks, I just want to share this code (http://www.prestwood.com/ASPSuite/KB/Document_View.asp?QID=100792) with you. It should remove the visual glitch when someone presses the ALT key in the program. It took me a long time to figure out what was going on with my own personal Delphi projects, and I thought I would share that. It's unrestricted licensing.

:thanks:

no wonder, i cant encode x265 with tune animation

there is no tune animation in x265 yet!!
Hahahaha

[bartimeaus91]

I've tried 1.18.1 and older versions and still can't seem to add WMV files.

Got the DirectShowSource: I can't determine the frame rate
of the video, you must use the "fps" parameter.
(C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)

Is there anyway to fix this?

I am new at Ripbot. Can Anyone help me how to trim and make a sample file from any movie..

[slalom]

Use mkvmerge, load your video
At "Global" tab, you will find an option, split mode. Choose the way you want to split your file

@Atak
I found a bug on v.1.18.1
I set a desirable size on some episodes and start the encoding. If I change the size of a job while encoding, the result size is well away of the target size. If I change it again and restart it, same thing. The result size is well away of the target size. And that's not on a specific file, it's on all files

To fix that, I must remove the job and re-add it.

[73ChargerFan]

I'd love an option to encode a slice only, so I can check different encoding options on a movie, e.g. encode starting at 00:05:00 for 2 minutes, or between 2 timecodes.

[legend]

Can Any help me How to reduce CPU load while encoding any video or Is there any setting have ?

Please give me solution.

[jwjohnson]

Why?

1) I start multiple distributed encoding servers on my machine until it gets to 100% CPU Utilization. That way the encoding gets done as fast as possible. I typically run 3 servers to get 100%.

2) If you leave the priority settings at default (Background) any other active process will run at near full speed until finished.

I guess if you had a very slow CPU it might be a concern, but then the best thing to do is upgrade.

[mmmmdonut]

Today my library is all mp4 and I use MetaX to tag all my files and now I am slowly migrating to x265 which uses mkv as the container and was wondering if anyone is putting metadata with their files and if so what tool they are using? I've tried using MetaX and VLC so far to edit and neither do the trick. I know the mkvtoolbox has an import command where it looks like you supply an xml file with the metadata but hoping for something a little bit more elegant.

Thanks

Occasionally I come across some blu-rays that have a short little title video before the main title. The problem with some of these titles are they have no audio in them and RipBot264 then have the audio off by the length of time of the of the title video. In the attachment I've provided shows the video has a duration of 10s 890ms so that throws off the audio by that length of time.

My work around for this is when I'm choosing the video to add, I can click edit and deselect the title video and just have the main feature. The only disadvantage to this is the movie will no longer have any chapters.

My work around for that is to grab the chapters from the combined version and save them. Go back and choose only the main film, edit the chapters.txt file and subtract the length of time of the title feature from each chapter and then add it back to the Temp Job folder that was created.

This is not that big of a deal for a movie as I really only see it about 1 in a 100 films, but I have a few TV shows that also have this issue which adds a lot of time to fix those.

Atak, is it possible for RipBot to detect this condition and pad the audio stream by the length of time of the missing audio?

[Atak_Snajpera]

If you want I can implement this workaround for you.

[slalom]

Could you inform us on how soon we will have the version supporting a second audio track?

[Atak_Snajpera]

It is hard to say right now. I've been busy with other stuff in RL but I will try to find some time this month.

[slalom]

I've got 27 episodes with dual audio, and I'd like to try it. I can wait.

[Ryushin]

If you want I can implement this workaround for you.

That would be wonderful. I would very much appreciate it.

[slalom]

I get this error saying "avs2yuv stopped working" with some videos

[Atak_Snajpera]

try remuxing your videos to mkv.

[slalom]

I removed some subs I didn't want, even cropped a few seconds from the end
Same error

[Atak_Snajpera]

What are you going to encode? mkv, avi,mp4 . What codec was used in those files? AVC,HEVC,MPEG4 ASP...

Send me short sample.

[slalom]

I fooled the error
I did 5 episodes overnight with DE disabled. I've got 3 more for this night

Thanks

hi, can i use ripbot264 distributed encoding with external ip ? i have two strong dedicated server and 2 pc with i7 3770k cpu and i7 3930k. i want to use them together for encoding videos.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Yes it is possible but you will have to setup VPN connection. One of users already successfully encoded videos in this way.

[tp546]

I am having trouble with the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie - MakeMKV sees the TrueHD audio track but Ripbot doesn't for some reason - any idea why?

[Danette]

As you may know, if an MKV contains a MPEG file having a telecined fps of 23.976 (which occasionally happens with ripped DVD's), the MKV header still reports fps as 29.97. When an x264 encoder tries to compress this, you get an out-of-sync mess, since x264 doesn't seem capable of correctly identifying the true nature of a video file in an MKV container.

So, I use MKVExtract to separate the video and audio then, in RipBot, I add the two back together while compressing. However, I need to go into the "Properties" section of RipBot and select Inverse Telecine to do the IVTC, which can be tedious if I have many such files.

Is there a way to set a custom profile, in RipBot, so that this Inverse Telecine function is permanently set in the custom profile? Then I wouldn’t have to go into the Properties section and select Inverse Telecine with every file. I've tried with my normal custom profile creation process, but it doesn't hold the settings in the Properties section. There also doesn’t seem to be any x264 commands that will perform this IVTC process the way that the Inverse Telecine setting will do in the Properties section.

[slalom]

Can't you make a txt file and add it to the "Profiles" folder?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Danette why don't you use batch mode for this task?

You select Inverse Telecine and then you restore at 23.976fps?

I just got this problem and I need to change the settings and re-run it, so I need someone to verify my settings

[Atak_Snajpera]

slalom just check how it looks in preview. If you do not see horizontal lines and motion is smooth (no repeated frames) then everything is set correctly.

[Danette]

Responding to some of the replies:

slalom: Creating a custom profile with commands can be done within RipBot so, as I understand you, there is no need to create a separate text file as it would do the same thing. However, I can’t find the appropriate commands that will do what RipBot’s IVTC and restore to 23.976 do.

Yes; I apply the “Inverse Telecine” function, which automatically selects the restore at 23.976 fps. Recall that I have added the separate video and audio tracks.

Atak_Snajpera: I tried batch mode, but only a video file can be added to the batch list. The separate audio tracks cannot. If the video file is already merged with the audio, then batch works.

Incidentally, I then run the compressed file through MKVmerge in order to add the chapters back in. It would be nice if RipBot had this functionality in its’ GUI which, I assume, would be easy since it utilizes MKVmerge.

Looks like my source is a 1080i mpeg2 29.97fps
I added them seperately and I still got out of sync audio

What else can I change?

Eac3to can´t extract TrueHD audio tracks. That´s why RipBot doesn´t see audio. Got the same error on german Expendables 3 BluRay. Wait for eac3to update.

[73ChargerFan]

Eac3to has no problems with TrueHD, only the newer Dolby Aptos.

Still hoping for a new feature to encode only a 5 or 10 second clip, so I can check it before committing my computer to 2 hours for the complete movie.

Happy New Year!

It sees it for other movies though, just not this one. I just upgraded from v1.17.4 and never had any issues with TrueHD tracks until now.

Hi, Atak!

I have found a bug on RipBot264 v1.18.1!

I have wished to convert a 1280x720 mkv format film, called "Into.The.Blue.2.The.Reef.2009.720p.HDTV.DD5.1.x264-DON.mkv"



First, I have successfully converted it under HEVC menu (x264 --> x265) to the same resolution with "cq 16"

But, later I couldn't become successful to convert the original source to 1920x1080 at HEVC menu! It wrote, "please wait" a bit long time but the converted mkv was still at 1280x720!

You need to check for the problem, I think!

[slalom]

Try with v1.17.4

[tp546]

Try with v1.17.4

Tried it - 1.17.4 doesn't see the TrueHD track either. I tried using mkvmerge to merge the TrueHD audio from MakeMKV and the video from Ripbot, but the file doesn't play.

[Atak_Snajpera]

You can do that with simple Trim function in script
http://i.cubeupload.com/NbDtEO.png

In this example movie has been trimmed to 5 min sample (23.976 fps * 300s = number of frames)

More info about Trim function -> http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Trim

Yes m2ts file. Use DGsplit. http://neuron2.net/dgsplit/
