Happy New Year.

I'm having an issue with Haali. If I install it, I get no video from MPC for x265. I know there must be some setting, but I can't find it. Uninstalling Halli returns my system to normal and I can view x265 files.

Right now I, install it Halli to encode and then uninstall it to watch.

Anyone know how to fix this?????????????? Thanks.

[Atak_Snajpera]

1. Install haali
2. Enable all internal splitters and decoders in MPC-HC

[Danette]

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

slalom: As you saw in my follow-up post, I succeeded in getting a good IVTC compression by demuxing outside of RipBot264 and then remuxing through RipBot264 (adding the video and audio files separately).

Unfortunately, there are 3 issues involved:
1) DVD TV shows are usually telecined (meaning a lot of time consuming demuxing and remuxing on my part).
2) RipBot264 is not able to handle MKV files having telecined video correctly without demuxing outside of RipBot264.
3) Limited batch processing capability, for demuxed files, in RipBot264 means a very laborious process for TV shows.

I convert all my DVD’s, for primary backup purposes, to MKV’s using MakeMKV (I want my primary backups to be unencoded). Since I have become a little more techie over the years, I have created my own RipBot264 profile and, searching for a solution to my MKV/IVTC problem, I decided to give MeGUI another shot, now that I am comfortable with the various settings.

I was pleasantly surprised when MeGUI handled these DVD TV shows, in my MKV containers, seemingly perfectly, without my having to demux and remux outside of RipBot264. So, I have now switched to MeGUI.

Hi. Any AVCHD videos I run through this programme results in a video output that stutters. Curious if anyone has run into this before and is there a fix.

Will provide any logs you like. Occurs with mkv or mp4 output.

Problem occurs with Hybrid as well but Vid coder works.

Thanks for any help.

[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.

Coming back to this to try solving the out-of-sync problem. When I apply the inverse telecine, with the restore 23.976 fps, I get a sped-up video (with a short segment of the end of the video duplicated at the end of that video) and audio completely out of sync.

Is it possible that the Avisynth script is calling for Assumefps(23.976) when Assumefps(24000:1001) might be better applied?

If not, any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't know how some people convert them to DTS-HD MA

The reason is simple, we convert it for AVCHD BD5 or BD9. With DTS-HD we can build with decent quality an disc to play in a Blu-Ray player.

[slalom]

I prefer that format too
I didn't ask why, I asked how, I meant how (maybe it's my english translation)

I will need 50 mb - 100 mb sample. Use dgsplit. Without that file I won't be able to check what is wrong.

Just curious about the progress on the next build of Ripbot, with a second audio track option. :)

So no taker's on this question ???

[archaeo]

Hello, I am running latest build, and trying to load an HEVC file (mp4). I'm getting this decoding error message:
DirectShowSource: RenderFile, the filter graph manager won't talk to me
(C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)
I'm running win7 x64, and all supporting programs checked out when loading ripbot.
Suggestions?


EDIT: uninstalled and reinstalled avisynth (2.60), haali, and ffdshow. Still nothing...

[stuartmp]

Hi All,
This is my first post on this forum.

A few day ago I installed Ripbot after using Megui for many years.

I was interested in trying out the distributed encoding feature.

I had no problem setting it up and have it running and encoding simultaneously on 4 other computers on my home network.

The problem that I am have is that, the Encoding server is occasionally crashing on 2 of my computers.

All 4 computers start alright but after the second or third chunk being to process on 2 of my computers the Encoding server just hangs. It just sits there and does not start encoding the next chunk.

It hangs so badly that I am unable to end task on the Encoding server windows process.

Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions that I could try to resolve this issue.

Thanks

[stuartmp]

Hi again, Just thought that i would up date my above post with some images

Image 1 - Encoding of chunk 1 starts on remote computer starts
Image 2 - Progress of the encoding of chunk 1
Image 4 - Encoding of chunk 1 on remote computer ends
Image 5 - Encoding of chunk 2 remote computer starts & then locks up
Image 6 - Exception generated in AVS2YUV.exe


I also noted to AVS2YUV.exe has 2 version x86 and x64 how does the remote encoding server know what version to use on the remote computers.

maybe it would be a good idea to specify if in the EncodingClient.ini in a new section for each of the pc's
if the computer is a 32 or 64 bit so the relevant files can be used.

Anyhow, If anyone has any ideas why the encoding server is crashing I would appreciate the help.

:thanks:

[Atak_Snajpera]

crash in avs2yuv means that decoder crashed (FFMS2) on your specific video file. Post mediainfo report of file you want to encode.

Btw. see 1.cmd file in notepad if you want to know how it detects 64bit or 32bit os.

[stuartmp]

Windows firewall was the problem, its great to have it working now. Had to reset the windows firewall and then add the ripbot permissions.

Also on one of my other computers I was running zonealarm and even though I add permissions it wouldn't work reliably.


Ripbot distributed encoding is awesome, I have gone from 12 fps to 35 fps using 4 computers.

Awesome. Cut the encoding time in easily in half.

I also like how if your system crashes for some reason you are able to restart Ripbot and continue from where it crashed. Reusing the completed chunks.

One suggestion for future releases. The ability to flag a chunk on a remote pc as the last one. You could then select this on one of your slower computers as the encoding comes to a end. This would prevent a slower computer from encoding one of the last chunks when one of your faster computer could do it quicker.

Thanks again, great program.

[archaeo]

atak,

Any suggestions on the decoding error I'm getting related to my post above? I've tried reloading everything, but to no avail. I've been happily using ripbot for some time now, but this HEVC file won't work.

[stuartmp]

Just wondering if there is a way to prevent ripbot from muxing at the end of encoding

[mmmmdonut]

archaeo I dont have any hevc mp4 files to test with but based off ripbots hevc output only going to mkv might try taking that hevc mp4 file and converting it to mkv and then try again. I know my hevc mkv files will load with no issues in to ripbot.

[slalom]

What do you want to do?

[Danette]

Atak_Snajpera: Any chance of getting the full capabilities available in the "Properties" section, for single files, added to the batch mode?

[stuartmp]

What do you want to do?
I want to do with the muxing myself with some modified audio tracks.

I know I could just comment out the muxing cmd file. But just checking if there was another way.

Thanks

[slalom]

Use mkvmerge for the output file

[CyberGoddess]

hi there guys, I am here with the latest ripbot264 v1.18.1 on win7 x64 and the "check screen" (or how you call it) wont let me further coz of "Java not installed" msg. however I am with latest Java v8 u31 x64. Does ripbotx264 not recognize latest x64 Java ? thx in advance

[slalom]

You need to install also the 32bit version

[Epic007]

I love RipBot264 and prefer to use it.

I use the Shark007 codec pack. I have done some testing with the new x265 and RipBot, however I have to set PC Playback to use Haali's Splitter when doing the encodes with RipBot (required) and x265 then switch PC Playback to LAV to actually play the file. The file only plays audio with Haali enabled.

Any suggestions to get around the swapping?

Thanks

[Atak_Snajpera]

use mpc-hc as media player. It has build in lav filters.

Hello,

i am using Ripbot264 for a little while now and I like it very much.
Is it possible to enable using two audio tracks? On some movies I like to keep the original audio as well as the dubbed audio.
Is there any way to do this with ripbot?
Or is there any chance that this will be a feature in future versions?

[Noisrevid]

All my audio has been offsync pretty much every other or mostly all videos i've encoded with Ripbot.. Haven't changed a thing.. And I can't adjust the offset because once I offset it properly for a scene.. the sound gradually gets offset again.. Any ideas?

[kide13]

Hello, sorry for my bad english.

Thanks you Atak_Snajpera, the distrubuted encoding is so cool.
I'm using Ripbot264 since a week on 3 PC, i had some crash but it's totally worth it :)

After converting my videos to 60fps with MeGUI, i encode them to x265 with PLACEBO preset crf 21
I'ill try to describe some problems i've encoutered.
my config: 3 pc windows 8.1
PC 1 (main): i7 12 threads
PC 2 (old pc): i7 8 threads
PC 3 (my brother's pc): i5 4 threads

Problem 1 (solved): the first was my bad, after waiting some hours the end of my first encode, epic fail ! i was using an outaded server version on my pc 2 :(
Solution 1 : the client could check servers versions.

Problem 2 (semi-solved): my pcs were encoding 24/24 and every single day x265_x64.exe( i tried with several builds) crashed randomly when a chunk is at 100% eta 00.00.00 i got about 2 or 3 crash for 30 chunks everydays on pc 2 and 3, but it never happened on my main pc, so i think you can identify the problem.
When x265_x64.exe crash, the chunk is stuck at 100% and Ripbot264 client continue the other current chunks, then after some time all chunks are stucked :( so every morning Ripbot264 was stucked when i wake up :( then i had to restart it.
Solution 1: close the windows error dialog, if i close it fast, x265_x64.exe will just restart for the next chunk and all work well, but i can't click the night when i'm sleeping :p
Solution 2: modify with regedit the value of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\DontShowUI and set to 1. the video will be encoded without pause but this solution is not clean.
Solution 3: You can try to find the origin of this problem and correct it but i'm unable to reproduce it :( it's totally random.

Problem 3 (unsolved) rare problem fortunately, on the client i had some crash because "is not a floating point value" something like that sorry i forgot message :/

I didn't see anything about crash in the log folder, i just have completed jobs.

Now some uncomfortable things for me, before i was using handbrake and some comforts are missing.
1/ I've a lot of folders for my videos, each time i want to add a video in Ripbot, i navigate to the folder to select the video but the destination is not set to the same folder, so i have to renavigate to the video folder, it's a little boring. the destination is always set to the previous saved video folder, you could add a way to set the default folder like with handbrake, i just want to save my video where the source is localized, and maybe automaticly rename it with encoding preset.
2/ With handbrake you can pause your queue, that mean once the current job is completed the program will pause. You could do the same for a chunk, add a way to pause a server, so once a chunk is completed the server will pause, some chunk take 4h, when i use 2 servers to use 100% of my cpu, chunks take 6 or 7 hours, i often need cpu for others task.
For example i use Plex to share my videos to all my family so my cpu is often transcoding. i use often Megui too, so i need to planify some pause for 8pm for example, so if i can press a pause button at 2h pm i'm sure at 9pm my family will don't have lags :)

60fps x265 placebo videos require a lot of cpu to be played, i suggest to use PotPlayer for good performances. mpc-hc is very laggy for me.

Thanks you Atak_Snajpera, i hope you will continue to improve x265 options cause it's so awesome :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Most likely video is detected as 29.97 fps while it should be 23.976 fps. You can force correct fps in script.

So far I have working demuxing of extra audio.
http://i.imgur.com/CXjSCxp.png

Added extra UI elements for extra audio
http://i.imgur.com/capFjEZ.png

I have also separated audio script from video script

Things go slowly not because it is difficult to add support for extra audio but because I have other things to do in RL and day has only 24h ;)

[soneca]

Cool!:rolleyes: And the release date?

[dslr-rookie]

Hello Atak,

I have a suggestion for a next version:
Cause I rename the media files by my own schema it is not helpful when the title section in the mkv is filled with the actual file name after convert. So I always have to remove this entry with mkvmerge for each file - or after Ripbot builts the CMDs and starts I edited this and remove manually the parameter --title "filename" in the jobxx_muxFiles.cmd. The reason is: any mediaplayer (like my Samsung TV) shows the title flag if available (it is not changeable), other media player shows always the filename.

Could you set an option for "title tag = filename" vs. "title tag= empty"? It's enough to find it in the INI files, dont need it to set in the graphical interface.

best regards
dslr-Rookie

[ShogoXT]

Hi everyone, definitely Ripbot264 is my favorite out of what ive tested with so far.

I have been trying to take DVDs that were filmed with 16mm film (first 3 seasons of Stargate SG-1), and convert them. I have been using MakeMKV and DVDFab to passthrough into a mkv file readable by Ripbot264. I cant use DVD Decrypter anymore because it doesnt split up the episodes correctly.

When I put the mkvs from MakeMKV into Ripbot, I use 1 pass mode and try to IVTC from 29.9fps back to 23.9. The result is video that is faster than the audio oddly. Tried putting assume fps 23.9, but same.

If I do it with DVDFab, then ripbot reads the mkv as 25 fps, when it actually plays fine on MPC-HC at the 29.9 fps. This makes it so I cant use IVTC.

Anyone seen that happen before? Or did I fumble something in the settings?

[apostolis21]

Hi Atak_Snajpera, ripbot264 is a great piece of software, I' ve just started using distributed encoding and I've managed to complete all steps but when the encoding client starts no files are being copied like your video tutorial shows and when chunks 1 and 2 have finished encoding they start encoding from the beginning all over again and the client never encodes chunk 3,4,5...

It is like a never-ending circle and it is quite confusing :confused:

Any ideas why this is happening?

http://oi60.tinypic.com/sqtpnt.jpg

And is there a plan to allow the use of H264 .ts and .mpg as input files for distributed encoding?

Thank you for your time,
Apostolis

[ShogoXT]

I think I found the solution to my problem. After a bit of fiddling with rip programs and file types into Ripbot, using DVDFab, but changing it to VOB passthrough seems to be the best choice. I just hope it wont mess up on the later disks and have trouble splitting up the episodes the last time I tried this.

[Bigmango]

Hi,

I have an mpeg2 video (DVD), mediainfo shows:


Frame rate mode : Constant
Frame rate : 25.000 fps
Scan type : Interlaced
Scan order : Top Field First


But ripbot says the video is 50 fps, and after conversion there's interlacing all over.

In the ripbot properties the "deinterlacing" (and "decimate") options are greyed out (all other options are available), so it isnt possible to select anything.

What to do?

Thanks.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Add this to script



video=AssumeFPS(video,25)
#Deinterlace
LoadCplugin("[CORRECT_PATH_TO_RIPBOT264]\Tools\AviSynth plugins\Yadif\Yadif.dll")
video=yadif(video,mode=1,order=1)

[Bigmango]

Add this to script



video=AssumeFPS(video,25)
#Deinterlace
LoadCplugin("[CORRECT_PATH_TO_RIPBOT264]\Tools\AviSynth plugins\Yadif\Yadif.dll")
video=yadif(video,mode=1,order=1)



With this the deinterlacing now seems to be fine, but the output is still 50 fps (should be 25 fps).

I tried megui: everything is fine automatically with the 1 click encoder.

[Atak_Snajpera]

You didn't say whether you want 50 fps (full frame rate) or 25 fps (half frame rate). Change mode=1 to mode=0 then.

[Bigmango]

OK, thanks.

@Atak
Suddenly one of my encoding clients does only 5fps or lower
Does it have to do with a java update?

[lemaireus]

I've started using x265/HEVC option and that takes anywhere from 12 to 18 hours to encode 90 minutes of video. Sometimes one feels like playing a resource heavy game while Ripbot is doing its work and in such a scenario a pause button would be really handy. One could pause the encoding without losing all the hours that have already gone into the process.

One can, of course, run Ripbot in low priority but I have almost always ended with blue screens when I start gaming with Ripbot working in the background--particularly when the final video is being written to the disk--and Windows being Windows I don't think those random blue screen crashes will disappear anytime soon.

A pause button would work wonderfully well in the scenario. I hope it wouldn't be too difficult to implement.
