ipconfig /all and show us what you have there.

What ip is associated by your router? Do you have more than one network card?

Hi Atak,

I can post the ipconfig/all info later, OK.

Ummm, I actually haven't got a router, it's just an 8 port 100/1000Mb hub that "join's" everything.

Some of my PC's "do" have more than 1 onboard NIC, but on the Windows 10 PC, I have disabled the Realtek, and left the Intel enabled.

I was using another Windows 8.1 PC with DE, with no problem, so it's either a Windows 10 thing, or the mobo...haven't used this PC for a while.

I generally only use 1 PC, with all DE servers running within the same PC...works well, makes a huge difference. I just need to have the hub powered up.

I will have a better look tomorrow.

Cheers

Maybe that's the problem here. You do not have device (router) which would control ip association for connected devices (PCs).
Also check what you have in those sections. I have router (IPs are associated with MAC adresses) so I do not have to fill in anything.

OK, well, I haven't had this problem with any other PC's, so it must be a Windows 10 hiccup, but to answer your question....

No, I do not have device (router) which would control ip association for connected devices (PCs).

I just slightly change the IP addresses, on the other PC's, seems to work fine for "normal" networking.

So on the PC in question, the settings are :-

IP is 192.168.0.3
Subnet 255.255.255.0
No Gateway
Preferred DNS 208.67.222.222
Alt DNS 208.67.220.220

[guest]

Hi Atak,

So I checked ipconfig/all, and found a Tunnel TAP adaptor that had DHCP enabled, which generated that IP of 192.55.233.2, so I had several failed attempts at deleting/disabling it, but with no success, then I noticed an Intel TAP entry in Device Manager, it was a hidden device, so I uninstalled that, rebooted, it all came back, so then I switched from the onboard Intel NIC, to the Realtek NIC, and now everything is working.

I have a theory on what might have happened, but I would need to do a fresh clean install on Windows 10, and I can't be bothered, as the final release is "just around the corner".

I really appreciate your input & suggestions, it lead me in the right direction, to get it working.

I am currently DE'ing with the PC I couldn't connect to, yesterday.

Many thanks :)

This is the first time I have a problem with Ripbot.

It seems only to affect this movie: The man with the iron fists uncut version region B. 5053083037550

Ripbot stops after first or second pass. No error message.
HDD > Blu-ray > mkv. Windows 8.1 X64 / Ripbot 1.18.3

If I roll back to 1.18.1, it´s working again.
Same settings.

[agressiv]

Curious why you even use avs2avi.exe with how slow it is compared to Mediainfo.dll? Is Mediainfo.dll unreliable? I haven't used the DLL personally but I've scripted the CLI version and it's very fast.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I need to know what avisynth exactly knows about opened script. Number of frames reported by decoder,fps and so on. MediaInfo will never give me that accurate information.
Gathering information on my machine takes few seconds. No idea why this takes minutes on your side.

[agressiv]

Again, avs2avi.exe is scanning the entire Audio file. In my latest Movie (Dances with Wolves) - that .dts file is 8.5gb. It took about 3 minutes to scan that on an SSD. MediaInfo scans it in a half a second. Crop the movie, and it scans the whole audio file again (3 more minutes)

Yes, it's lightning fast with SD content, but I rarely am ever dealing with that. On Blu-rays, every audio file is lossless - many are 4gb+ in size.

Avs2Avi is over 10 years old. Guess I'll see if I can find something other than mediaInfo which might do the job. Maybe ffprobe? I know it can do similar functions as well.


Detailed:
Start AVS2AVI - 0m
Log outputs to console - 1m 5 sec
File scans again - 1m 40sec

Total time 2min 45sec

Total throughput is 24k IOPS. My SSD is going absolutely nuts.

Edit: It's NicAudio.dll which is causing the file scanning.
DirectshowSource on the DTS works but shows an incorrect length (large negative number) in info.txt
uNicAudio.dll behaves the same as NicAudio.dll
Tried NicAudio.dll version 2.06, same behavior.
Directshowsource on the source MKV works. Obviously not ideal.

[sneaker_ger]

Lossless compressed audio has a variable bitrate. If it's not in an container that supplies total duration (like mkv) it has to be scanned to get the correct duration (and AviSynth needs duration at script loading time, cannot be changed dynamically, I think).
But does NicAudio even do DTS-HD/TrueHD? I don't know if it's the best choice source filter in this case.

[Atak_Snajpera]

nicaudio does not see hd part. Only core is decoded.

Hi Atak_Snajpera, I just wanted to confirm that your new EncodingClient.exe fixed the problem.

I posted back on the day, but because I quoted your link I think the post was not approved.

Thanks again.

Hi, Atak,

I have a strange problem - I upgraded recently from 1.18.1 to 1.18.3 and now encoding of this audio to aac (MOV from camera)
Audio

Format : PCM
Format settings, Endianness : Little

I tried to copy only new ripbot.exe into old directory - the problem is here.
Old ripbot.exe with new stuff - encoded_aac is created, output mkv is here.
Any help, please?

[Atak_Snajpera]

1.18.4 BETA with new BDO v2.0 method for distributed encoding mode
http://www.mediafire.com/download/e460n44gndl06o3/RipBot264v1.18.4_BETA_PATCH.7z

Regarding new BDO. Now chunks complexity is estimated directly on tex: and mv: values stored in .stats files.
There is also new option in encodingclient.ini where you can specify strength for BDO

//Bitrate Distribution Optimization Strength for 2-pass mode. 0=Disabled ( Each chunk gets the same bitrate budget to spend )
//Higher value allocates higher bitrate budget to more complex chunks and less for chunks with lower complexity. Default is 2
BDOstrength=2

and here is example how this works with my "Escape from New York" movie

http://i.cubeupload.com/KuwPsh.png

I've also added protection so graph won't go below some safe bitrate limit. See graph 4 and flat line for first and last chunks .

[squezer]

new 1.18.4 BETA is working as it should regarding audio encoding...
at least for me. :cool:

one question about DE...

if one server is down while encoding, what happened with the chunk?.... will another server start to encoding the missing part?... or... just start the encoding again...

[Viper714]

one question about DE...

if one server is down while encoding, what happened with the chunk?.... will another server start to encoding the missing part?... or... just start the encoding again...

My experience is that another server, once available, will take over that chunk and will restart that chunk from the beginning. BTW you may have to do it manually if the server does not release the chunk...

will this :

"EncodingClient can alternatively create one chunk per node with equal number of frames to process"

work with CQ mode, in future releases?

why? Small chunks are generally better than 2-4 huge. Especially in CQ mode.

So I decided that I would convert OLDER DVD movies that are not available in Blu Ray yet for my media center. Can you please recommend the best setting for these type conversions?

For Blu Ray movies I use the typical default settings except i use 2-Pass with the highest ModeValue of 8192. I use a Profile of 4.0 FHD as well. For Blu rays should I change this to 4.1. I read some where that it increases the maximum bitrate. Should I use 4.1 in blu ray and/or DVD settings?

Oh forgot to mention that my final output file is mkv...

Thanks in advance!!!

[manono]

This doesn't really sound like a specific RipBot264 question but a question about how your DVD should be processed before encoding. It probably needs either an IVTC or unblending. RipBot can do one but not the other. Please make available a 10-second sample, one with steady movement.

[Viper714]

Manono,
Thank you for your reply. I actually just recently found the answer to my SD encoding question. I found a resource on converting SD DVD's which I will post below. After doing the procedure listed it worked fine. I am definitely spoiled by the blu ray quality but it is better than what I had. A lot more steps than what I do on blu ray conversion. Hope this helps anyone looking for the same guide.

Here it is: Click Here (http://www.thehtpc.net/htpc-tips-and-tweaks/encoding-dvds-to-h-264-mkv-using-ripbot264/?singlepage=1)

Now I just wonder if there is something of the sort for better / optimized blu ray recoding...

[manono]

And you followed his advice to first deinterlace with Yadif followed by decimating to 23.976fps? If so, you seriously degraded your movie. Which is why I asked for a sample - to see what you had before offering advice.

But that's okay. It's your movie. Do with it what you like.

[Atak_Snajpera]

manono is right. You should just select "INVERSE TELECINE" option if you are working with typical NTSC DVD.

[Viper714]

Manono: as far as the sample, I assume it is of the post encoding that I did or of the pre VOB file??

[guest]

Hi Atak,

I have acquired a large amount of .m4v x265 files that I would like to run thru Ripbot, however, this extension is not supported.

Are you able to add this somehow, or suggest another process ?

Would be greatly appreciated :)

Cheers

[manono]

Manono: as far as the sample, I assume it is of the post encoding that I did or of the pre VOB file??

You assume wrong. No one wants to see what you did with it. We need to see something directly from the source. The chances are good that it just needs an IVTC, as Atak_Snajpera suggested. There are other possibilities, but if it's a film then deinterlacing it is the last thing you want to do to it.

And I apologize, as I accidentally edited your post.

[Wishbringer]

... .m4v x265 files that I would like to run thru Ripbot, however, this extension is not supported.

Aren't .m4v a subset of .mp4?
Did you try to rename them to mp4?

Only known difference (for me) is, that m4v can contain DRM Copy Protection (introduced by Apple).
http://fileinfo.com/extension/m4v

v1.18.1
Added: Support for HEVC as input format (mkv and mp4 containers only)

[guest]

Did you try to rename them to mp4?



No, I must admit I didn't even think of that, I will definitely try that, and get back.

That's just too easy :)

Cheers

[Shamans09]

I probably found bug...

if I choose x265 and go in detail, there is option to choose Tune (film, animation, etc). I guess x265 doesnt support these presets and therefore this should be grayed out with selecting x265 (like Level dropdown menu) coz when I select for my x265 project --tune film video wont encode (running job1_EncodeVideo.cmd shows error)

also :\\ripbot264 1.18.3\Tools\x265\x265help.txt is empty

and also there are some issues since ripbot264 v1.8.1. no output file is generated (created). nor on deafult output path, nor on custom selected path, nor even if I set it in RipBot264.ini file. to finish my project I always must manualy mux all the tracks with mkvmerge GUI (throw there audio from C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\Encoded_Audio_1.acc and video track from C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\video.265). its very unpleasant tho

There are other possibilities, but if it's a film then deinterlacing it is the last thing you want to do to it.

And I apologize, as I accidentally edited your post.
