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

[lemaireus]

HEVC clearly seems to be the future with its fantastic bitrate-to-quality ratios. Can one expect more attention to x265 in Ripbot in the future, things like more presets and other HEVC encoding options?

[slalom]

A pause button would work wonderfully well in the scenario. I hope it wouldn't be too difficult to implement.
If you abort the job, you can restart it from where you stopped

[lemaireus]

If you abort the job, you can restart it from where you stopped

Are you sure about that? I'll have to run a check on that once again, because heretofore whenever I've hit the 'Abort' button the job has to be started all over again from scratch. I should add that I'm referring here to the 2 pass mode, which is what I primarily use.

[slalom]

Of course I'm sure, I do it all the time

Slalom forgot to mention that he is working in Distributed Encoding mode where you can restart from last encoded chunk.

[slalom]

DE can also work with just one PC, right?

About this problem
@Atak
Suddenly one of my encoding clients does only 5fps or lower
Does it have to do with a java update?
I re-installed everything peripheral regarding RipBot264
fps are improved, especially on second pass, but the problem remains

[lemaireus]

Slalom forgot to mention that he is working in Distributed Encoding mode where you can restart from last encoded chunk.

I haven't yet used distributed encoding but did run a check on the 'Abort' button: in both the CQ and 2 Pass modes I get a pop up 'Do you really want to terminate the whole conversion.' If I choose 'Yes' the whole process gets terminated and I have to start from scratch. If I choose 'No' the process continues uninterrupted.

Ergo: a 'Pause' button would be very, very helpful.

1) Ofcourse You just have to enter 127.0.0.1:1000 as IP.
2) Make sure that cpu is not overheating or CPU throttling is not activated

@lemaireus
You can save a lot of time by not using 2-pass mode. Are you going to store your movies on DVD that you aim for specific size?

[lemaireus]

@Atak: I save on both HDDs and DVDs, but size is a significant issue for me given that I'm already using about 22TBs of HDD space (not counting the DVDs). And I guess the (low) bitrate factor becomes even more prominent with HEVC. Is a pause button feasible at all without creating too many programming difficulties? Baka encoder GUI offers the pause button so it appears to be a workable option, and it sounds like a feature that could come in handy for any number of reasons.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I forgot to mention that You have some serious issues with hardware because You should not see any blue-screens at all. I have been using Windows 7 since the very beginning and I forgot how those famous blue-screens look like ;) If I were you I would check cpu, memory and smart status for SSD/HDD.

[lemaireus]

I'm doing HEVC encodes with a bitrate setting of around 2500 and the result is a perfectly spotless picture on a 46 inch display. I haven't used the CQ mode because my impression is that none of those would let me go as low as 2.5k. I may be wrong in my assumption and if so would look forward to being corrected. But the need for the pause button would stay even in the CQ scenario, for all those times when, in the course of encoding, one wants to do something heavy duty on the machine and a little pause would make that so easy to do.

[lemaireus]

I have also been using Windows 7 and yes, this is by far the best version of windows I've used thus far. But after the last fresh install I've had to tinker around the system a lot because of HEVC--the problems between Lava filters and Haali, workaround through MPC-HC, getting external subs to work, lots of installs and uninstalls. And these blue screens have become more frequent after that. But, independently of that, if I am encoding in ripbot and playing a major game, then I'm almost certain to get a blue screen when the final video begins getting written on the HDD. My hardware configs are OK and the troubles are limited to the aforementioned scenario, runs perfectly fine otherwise. Such crashes sometimes create HDD errors but thus far nothing that a disk check hasn't taken care of.

[Atak_Snajpera]

You can suspend and resume any process using Process Explorer

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

[lemaireus]

Works! Run process explorer as administrator and it suspends and resumes 'RipBot264.exe' perfectly well. Thanks Atak! :D

There is no such problem

I can tell you this strange thing
fps from first pass are lower than the fps from second pass

it should be the other way around

[KWP]

First time user here...

Just installed RipBot264 and at the end of decoding, I get the attached error; included a few other files, too.
I am an administrator on my Windows 8.1 PC

Here is the executed getAVSerror.cmd:

Thanks for your help -- I look forward to getting this working!

Is there any way to set a Custom 4K resolution ???, meaning 3840 x 2160. Custom only seems to go as high as 1920 :(

A 4K (3840 x 2160), x265 preset would be great.

Cheers

[Atak_Snajpera]

@KWP
Are you sure that avisynth has been correctly installed? I recommend avisynth 2.60

@burt123
I will add presets for 3840x.... in next version. Currently I'm adding support for extra audio (current progress around 60%)

Thanks again for the great software.

Would it be possible to add the main10 profile to the hevc encoder.

[guest]

Hi Atak,

I thought I'd "test" a 4K resolution movie thru Ripbot.

Firstly I upscaled a movie to 3840 x 2160 @ 40mps with Premiere Pro CC, which created a 29Gb mp4.

Loaded that into Ripbot, left the video res to "do not change", used hevc h265, distributed encoding, and let it go....took approx 13 hours on my 12C Xeon. Encoded file was just under 9Gb, and played back very nicely with VLC. Can't play 4K on my TV :(

So then I wanted to compare encoding time & file output size, using h264, but just after it starts encoding the chunks it locks up the PC, so I'm thinking h264 doesn't like encoding 2160P (4K) files.

Any thoughts ????

I've been using Ripbot for years, and love the program. Every once in awhile I will get a demux error and the program stops. My last three backups have all been failures. They are all newer releases and 2 of the three are Universal titles. I get a demux error caused by eac3to. I was using an old version, so I went with the version on the front page and got the same result. I haven't tried the beta listed on the last page. All these files will correctly backup in makemkv, though I'd rather not have 29Gig mkv files. Is there a fix for this?

Hi all, just wondering if the is a solution to a problem I am having with distributed encoding... I have been using it for a few months now and general it works perfectly.. however occasionally the server locked up... Not to much of a problem, just abort and then restart it... And the process continues.... The problem I am having is occasionally when the server locks up and I press abort not all the clients end... So when I restart the server some of the clients do not recommence encoding... The status in the server window just stays on "connecting" the only way I have worked out how to fix this is to abort the process and the reset the clients encoding server. The restart the main encoding server..... Is their a way to for the reset on the client and continue encoding without stopping and restarting the server?

[slalom]

That happens to me too. I believe it's the specific file that causes the problem

I'll try that, however I don't think that's the problem because when you look on the client computer it is still encoding the last chunk it was working on even though the server has shutdown and aborted.

I guess I am looking for a way to force a reset of one of the servers lets say "Server 5" in the Encoding client dialog box to retry once you have stopped and restarted the Encoding server on the client computer.

Maybe have a 'On' 'Off' 'Reset' button on the encoding client dialog box. This would hopefully solve the problem of it getting stuck on a connecting status.

Just wondering how many people would support the ability to add more then 8 Encoding servers.
I know Atak has done a great job with this software. Maybe he could treat us all to an upgrade in this area one day.
I see it has been asked before so I am sure other would like to see that functionality.

I just scratched together a quick mock-up of how the dialog box could be laid-out.
I am sure this would be improved, its just to get the general idea across.

I certainly would, and I know that Atak has been asked about this several times (and a couple from me)....it would be great, but I recall, that it is rather difficult to add more.

Having said that, I hope "we" get an "official" response :)
