Atak-

Any chance of Ripbot supporting Hi-res audio output in the future? ie:True-HD/DTS-MA

Thanks again!!

Hi Atak,

You never reply me about my troubleshooting.

1.10.3 & 1.10.4 Troubleshooting when playing the AVCHD blu-ray conversion in ps3 and blu-ray players. Audio track, sounds goes on/off tested with 2 different blu-ray players, and 1 ps3.

Probably something wrong with the conversion?

Thanks.


i have try with 3 movies. 2 mkv and one from blu-ray ripp directly.
Now tested with 1.10.1 and size output not ok. total size 2GB no 4480.

[fib0by]

First-time user here.
I opened a large video file in RipBot and now it displays something like "please wait... gathering informations..."

It would be nice if RipBot could display a progress bar while it's waiting there.

[topsham]

Does anyone know if there is a 64 bit version of x264.exe? I'm using Ripbot264 in a 64 bit Vista environment and was wondering if this would speed up processing at all?

[Atak_Snajpera]

i apologize if this has already been covered...i'm converting 1080p .m2ts files to .bluray to make avchd discs. I am getting between 7-9 fps on the second pass. Is there a file i can manually edit (x264 encoder settings) to speed the encodes w/o loosing too much quality?

i'm using a q6600 @ 3ghz.

7-9 fps is very fast for 1080p. I have only 3-4 fps on Core 2 Duo 3Ghz :)
Do not change anything because quality will suffer. Only agressive changes will give you higher speeds but it also means lower quality!

It would be nice if RipBot could display a progress bar while it's waiting there.
Not possible!

Now tested with 1.10.1 and size output not ok. total size 2GB no 4480.
Do you really think I care for older versions??? You should always use the latest.
Check if you have the same problem with audio during preview in ripbot

Use google. 64bit version should speed up to up 10 %

I need sample amigo!

[womble2]

Will it be possible to choose which audio stream will be used when handling with an .avi file ?
As far as I know, now the first audio stream is used.
I have a lot of .avi files with at least 2 audio streams and it would be nice if I could tell ripbot, which to take in the final file

[fib0by]

7-9 fps is very fast for 1080p. I have only 3-4 fps on Core 2 Duo 3Ghz :)

I've a slightly slower Core 2 Duo (it's a 2.6GHz IIRC) and I get around 2...3 fps in Pass 2. Yes, it's pretty slow.

Does RipBot scale up with the number of cores? Will it be able to use more than 2 cores efficiently?

E.g., my motherboard supports (after a BIOS update) the Phenom quad cores. If I upgrade to a quad at the same clock speed, will the fps go up significantly? (I'm hoping for a double speed, but I'll take any improvement at this point)

[Atak_Snajpera]

x264 encoder scales very well with number of cores. Look
7-9 fps is very fast for 1080p. I have only 3-4 fps on Core 2 Duo 3Ghz
He has two times more cores and speed is also two times faster

I didn't know that avi supports 2 and more audio streams! Sample please :)

i'll just build a dual xeon/skulltrail setup to 2x-2.5 increase encoding speed. atak :thanks: for the awesome program man! all of us really appreciate it's simplicity and usefulness!

Is there a way to use RipBot with x264farm to do distributed (cluster) encoding?

Hi Atak

Do you really think I care for older versions??? You should always use the latest.
Check if you have the same problem with audio during preview in ripbot

First, i have try with 1.10.4, with the latest ffdshow version, results, it's what i told you. I have try all my other version to be sure of what could be the trouble and have try until 1.10.1 to be sure that it is not the new version the trouble.

I always install the latest !! but i have just try something to try to understanding if it's ffdshow trouble, or the x264 version, so i try other older version.

My trouble is that:

1.10.3 & 1.10.4 Troubleshooting when playing the AVCHD blu-ray conversion in ps3 and blu-ray players. Audio track, sounds goes on/off tested with 2 different blu-ray players, and 1 ps3.

that would be sweet:devil:

the thought of building a farm of cheap quadcore systems to do x264 encoding would be awesome instead of spending 2-3k to build one 8 core system...

[Atak_Snajpera]

I don't know if it is non-standard, but I have a lot of these...
I think it would be easier if you remuxed all avis to mkv. avi was not designed for multi audio streams.

[womble2]

Sure, that's not really a problem, because of just muxing it's lamost just copying the file.

So what I then would love to see is a button to play the demuxed Audio Files, even if it would just open my standard mp3 player.
Because now I have to check manually which is the stream (file) I want.

And have I already said that it would be a big save of time for me, if the resize option could be stored in the profile file ?
So that every file I add with a specifiec profile will be resized without hanging through the Properties ?



Thanks a lot again Atak ;)




Btw.:
does anybody know a good way (batch) to remux a lot ov avi files, even in different folders, into mkv ? Till now, I use the MKVtoolnix, but I don't think, they have an batch option, better it HAS one, but a very easy toll, that walks through a folder and subfolder just remuxing every file would be nice.

Ok, forget that, I wrote a little script using the mkvtoolnix command line ;)

[Ajax_Undone]

Divx avi 2.0 is supportive of two audio streams... Still cant get the size past 4gb...

MkV is a better choice because it is more versatile as far as audio, size and subs are concerned...

[turbojet]

Speaking of the long wait in the beginning, out of curiosity is there a reason you chose frame indexing with dgavcindex and ffmpegsource over directshow haali->ffdshow libav ?

[Mike_111]

Great program! Just one tiny thing. It would be awesome if you could implement default audio profile and default resize settings (incl. custom or the ability to add a profile), just like the default video profile in the RipBot264.ini :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Speaking of the long wait in the beginning, out of curiosity is there a reason you chose frame indexing with dgavcindex and ffmpegsource over directshow haali->ffdshow libav ?

I chose that method because I wanted RipBot264 to be independet from DirectShow hell :) Simply I wanted to avoid conflicts in filters.

[fib0by]

Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see any way to include soft subtitles in a Blu-Ray to Blu-Ray rip.

I rip the BD with AnyDVD HD.
I open the main movie file in RipBot. It says "analysing" so I wait.
When it's done, I can select chapters, video and audio, but no subtitles.
I click Ok and then it's remuxing to mkv.
When it's done, there's a button labeled subtitles, but it doesn't seem to do anything useful: it just opens a new window, but there are no subtitles there to choose.

I'm confused because in tsMuxer I can select and include a subtitle track if I wish. But of course tsMuxer cannot shrink the video track.
RipBot has a subtitle button too, but it's not working.

What am I doing wrong?

I posted a question a few days ago about if avchd played on a samsung bdp1400 could have DTS audio. Well I found the answer. According to Wikipedia article on the avchd spec, it only supports audio DD up to 640kbps or LPCM but not DTS. This explains why my samsung will play all the ripbot avchd with dd but not dts. When I burn the ripbot avchd to a bd-re it plays even with dts so it must think its a bd, not avchd. If anyone has a panasonic or sony stand alone bd player (not ps3) have you been able to play a ripbot BD that had DTS and burned to a DVD9 or 5 succesfully?

[Atak_Snajpera]

You must manually convert .sup files to .srt

Now you know why .mov format is not officially supported in my app.

Solution: Remux .mov to .avi using this command line
ffmpeg.exe -i "c:\1.mov" -vcodec copy -acodec copy "c:\1.avi"

Hi,

Yes AVCHD with DTS @ 1.5Mbps plays back no problem on a DVD+R DL via a Panasonic DMP-BD30 Blu-Ray standalone deck.

Also the AVCHD spec does allow for DTS on AVCHD. The spec is upto 1.5mbps bit rate after compression and 1 - 7.1 channels.

[jtheripper]

Very interesting. Where did you see that the spec allows DTS? Makes sense that it would but I couldnt find that anywhere. Guess I will get me a panny player. Thanks

[Discoboy]

The spec does not actually mention the DTS trademark, but it does say bit rate after compression 1.5mbps and upto 7.1 channels i.e. the DTS core sound track spec of DTS-HD sound track. Spec link here:

two thumbs up on the software... I've used this successfully to backup several of my bluerays. I've been able to figure out most of my problems/wants by searching but have one final question (...at least for now ;) )

Is there anyway to keep an origional soundtrack instead of having it "re-encoded"? Are there any benefits to having it re-encoded? The movies I just finished have Dolby EX soundtracks that I'd like to pass directly to my receiver. Thanks!

[Ajax_Undone]

Thanx Bro...

[florinandrei]

If I'm not mistaken, RipBot uses tsMuxer to author the BD structure, right?
Well, if that's the case, there's a problem. The disks authored with tsMuxer will play in a loop on the PS3. Insert disk, it starts playing, it reaches the end, it goes back to the beginning, plays the whole disk again, and so on. :angry:

Anybody knows how to fix this?

[Ajax_Undone]

The installer has been updated to include an updater built originally by morphinapg for ASXgui Encoder.
He generously offered me the source after I asked and I modified it for use with RipBot264...

So big thanx to morphinapg...

Anyhow if you use it now it will just download The current build of RipBot264 so its kinda useless untill next release...

Currently Building a ffdshow and haali updater to include by 2.0 release. The 2.0 Installer will be the last one released until 3.0 comes around. So I want it to be self sustaining...

Doesn’t setting the audio profile to “x.x. COPY STREAM” not work for you as for me this prevents reencoding. I use this function to keep the DD core track that Ripbot extracted from DD-HD audio track as if I let it reencode, the sound levels are much lower. I also use it when I have a DTS audio track.

[fib0by]

Shrunk a big 1080p VC-1 thing to DVD-9. When there's a big image change (cut from one angle to another, or from one scene to another) the image freezes for several seconds. Audio keeps playing normally. This is on a PS3.

Several possible causes:
- DVD+R DL is being read too slowly by the PS3
- bitrate after shrinking is too small for this video stream
- bug in x264

Any ideas?

I'll try to upload the .m2ts file to the PS3 directly (bypassing the DVD+R DL media) and we'll see what happens.

P.S.: I shrunk another one, same procedure, same DVD+R DL and it seems to be fine. Kind of eliminates the DVD from the list of suspects, but in this case the bitrate is a tiny bit smaller (7GB final size instead of 8). But the master in this case looks a bit more smooth.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Did you ever check this out and fix it?
Fixed: 5.1 Audio profile was missing if audio had 8 channels

Audio track is stored in pcm format therefore it must be re-encoded to 5.1 AC3.

Hello Atak,

thanks for your great work for the community!

I have a quick question: is there an option in the .ini files to set the x264 --keyint <int> and --min-keyint <int> parameters? Alternatively: do you have a HDDVD ini-file (similar to the Bluray one) which presets those parameters correctly? I'd like to create HDDVD compliant .264 raw files, and a couple of x264 parameters from the Bluray profile that I use at the moment have to be changed (e.g GOP <=36, and probably others).

Thanks.

[Atak_Snajpera]

My tests show that --keyint <int> and --min-keyint <int> are not neccessary. Blu-Ray ( and probably HD-DVD as well) players play movies without problems. Besides HD-DVD format is dead for me.

Well, I don't know how picky HDDVD players are with out-of-spec streams. What I've encountered is that some authoring tools don't accept out of spec GOP values, hence my question. I try to author a HDDVD from a backup of my purchased BD, as I see it as a waste of ressources to dump a perfectly functioning HD player.

EDIT:
Atak: is RipBot264 open source, I would volunteer to make necessary additions and test them, in case you've no interest and time to do this...

Yuma does not have DTS (it has PCM) track therefore COPY STREAM option is not available. I don't have DTS encoder so the only option is to encode to ac3 5.1

You have hardware problems. Your system is highly unstable in stress conditions.
Remove any overclock (im pretty sure you did it) and check your hardware (RAM, HDDs, etc) with one or more burn in software and check also the temps.

It would be nice if RipBot could display a progress bar while it's waiting there. Not possible!o0 any special reason why not? the audio normalizer and encoder gives percentages. you have the total # of frames and what frame x264 is working on, and a percentage for that. I know mkvmerge gives some sort of output because its own GUI has a progress bar. am I missing anything? Im not seeing any reason not to create a progress bar, or even a double progress bar (current process / total progress). I know its not a limitation of Delphi. Ive seen many Delphi programs with progress bars, ones which use CLI backends as well (Razorlame for one).

Hello, Atak
here a sample of the file which I cannot put in mkv.(problem: "is not a valid floating point value)
http://demo21.ovh.com/d7cca9cd9a5c8d2f422e608197b71acaP/

[dm1105]

My friends, I'm sorry to interject, but I need some clarity. I wish to convert an MKV movie into a standard Bluray format, not MP4, mt2s, etc. Now, the resolution of said MKV is 1920 x 800, certainly not one Bluray players like very much.

I tried Ripbot264 on the MKV and I believe I configured all the settings as they should be. I wanted the final resolution to be Full HD, which in this case I chose the highest setting.

12 hours later, I got the final product. I burned the files properly using the correct settings utilizing ImgBurn. But alas, when I played the movie on PowerDVD I had audio but a black picture. 12 hours of encoding down the drain. I blame myself.

Now, I'm well aware that a very similar situation arose before in this forum, but perhaps someone can enlighten me...Perhaps someone with a higher understanding can point me in the right direction.

*sigh* after you learn everything there is to know about DVD encoding, along comes a new format and one has to begin from scratch...

[~bT~]

^ does the m2ts file play OK? or is it also just a black screen?

ps. did u resize to full HD?

[pxr5]

^^ Yeah you need to add blackborders in the Avisynth script.

E.g. If it's 1920x800, it needs to be 1920x1080. So 1080-800/2=140.

So put addborders(0,140,0,140) at the very bottom of the script.

... and make a test-encode of a 10min-segment first, before you waste another day ;)

[tteich]

Btw. I found a solution for my HDDVD authoring problem. Unfortunately cannot use RipBot264 due to the missing x264 target for HDDVD. But my current workflow is as follows:

1. .m2ts from ripped BD -> eac3to.exe
(creates a .264 elementary file, and the sound track as either .ac3 or .dts)
2. Re-Encode .264 with MeGUI and the Standalone_HD-DVD configuration
(creates a bitrate/GOP HDDVD compatible .264 file)
3. the resulting file needs the pulldown-flag to be set -> h264info.exe ("set 2:3 pulldown")
(creates a compliant .264 file)
4. author a standard content HDDVD using the .264 file from step 4 and the audio file from step 1

It would have been nice to have this automated with RipBot264, but the HDDVD muxer is still missing, therefor the workflow cannot be implemented completely with freeware tools.

[dm1105]

^ does the m2ts file play OK? or is it also just a black screen?

ps. did u resize to full HD?

Thank you for the expeditious response. Yes, the .mt2s file plays as it should in PowerDVD. Furthermore, to answer your post script, I did choose resize to full HD in the appropriate settings in the Picture Properties submenu.

^^ Yeah you need to add blackborders in the Avisynth script.

E.g. If it's 1920x800, it needs to be 1920x1080. So 1080-800/2=140.

So put addborders(0,140,0,140) at the very bottom of the script.

I noticed that the Avisynth script on the right hand side automatically added the borders for me i.e. addborders(0,140,0,140). However, this was not located at the very bottom of the script, but somewhere in the middle. It was located under: #Resize
video=Spline36Resize(video,1920,800).Sharpen(0.2).AddBorders(0,140,0,140)

... and make a test-encode of a 10min-segment first, before you waste another day ;)

I followed your advice and I am currently encoding a 10 minute segment of the MKV as suggested.

Thank you again, all of you.

Ripboat announces a problem: "is not a valid floating point value
there were 14 files m2ts
I joined the files m2ts with TSmuxer

With others videos, Ripboat functions correctly, but if I use Tsmuxer, Ripboat refuses to convert
What is the solution???

[Atak_Snajpera]

Do not use TSMuxer :) Import file directly from Blu-ray structure. Only in this case files will be joined together.

[pitch.fr]

is what I must work starting from the disc bluray or of the file copied from the hard drive?

Which file I must open in Ripboat: Stream,mpls or m2ts?

How does Ripboat manage to find the order of the sequences of a disc bluray?

[Atak_Snajpera]

The simplest way to rip movies is:
1) install AnyDVD HD
2) select any .m2ts file from Blu-Ray disc

How does Ripboat manage to find the order of the sequences of a disc bluray?
eac3to does whole black work :)

[pitch.fr]

Thank you for your assistance.
I tests this evening

@dm1105 - did you remember to burn with udf revision 2.5?

[Ajax_Undone]

Hey Atak so you could avoid the issue of incorrect burning. If you could had either an ISO creation for re encoded BD structure or a burning engine to just burn the compilation to a disk rather then just structure out... Or even all three as options.

[Blu-boy]

I would first off like to thank Atak_Snajpera for a superior job making the Ripbot tool. I can't tell you how many tools I have tried and tossed. All of them ruined the quality of the movie, even at their highest quality settings. This includes testing MainConcepts/Elecard solutions which seemed to attenuate some of the mid-tones and highlights in the movie.

Apart from being convenient, he has also worked out all the best settings and conveniently brought together the best of the best tools in the shell to create what I consider the only tool that can transcode a blu-ray from a staggering 30Gigs to a mere 5-7 gigs with nearly no perceptible loss in quality video. I leave the audio stream alone, so there is zero loss in audio.

My goal is not playing blu-ray on ps3 but simply reducing the data storage requirements and playing on MC or similar DirectShow only playback app. Also by reducing the file down to a fraction of it's original size. You don't need a powerhouse computer anymore for playback.

Very happy with this tool for this role. Except that some movies are out of sync with the audio. And it is not linear, so that a simple audio shift wont fix it. I have tried to find an answer by scouring these forums. But nothing with h264/ac3 streams. Some have said this is due to the 24.976 verses 24 fps. Do I need to re-encode with 24 fps? RibBot is indicating "copy stream" so I assume this means it hasn't altered the timing of audio.

Or do I need to run a tool outside of RipBot to re-sync? and if so, Is there a tool that can read a m2ts file and allow me to stretch audio?
Seems the audio is late by a half second during the start of the movie. And is correct at the end of the movie. Or am I doomed to demux and run it though some ac3 audio editor and remux. If so which one can do a stretch rather than a time shift?

[Mordred]

This is a great program Atak. I'm finally able to encode stuff that for some reason didn't work properly using MeGUI, and this is much easier to use. I'm using it to convert mkvs, to 1280x720 blu-ray format and putting them on DVD-Rs to play on my PS3.

I did have two questions that I searched for but couldn't find any good information.

1) I'm encoding 23.976 (or whatever it is) film sources, and I'd like the output to stay 24fps. I have my PS3 setup to output 24fps and my LCD TV accepts 24fps so when watching a real blu-ray I see a display 1080p24. However the blu-rays I create don't appear to be sending 24fps from the PS3 as my TV shows it's receiving just regular 720p. Does the PS3 have some kind of limitation of when it can send 24fps content, or is the conversion converting to 30fps, or am I doing something else wrong which is preventing this from showing up properly?

2) I've got subtitles in these MKVs that were .ass format. RipBot correctly demuxes them and I can add them. However when the movie is played back, whenever the subs should be in Italics it looks like this: {\I1}this should be italicized{\I0} and whenever there should be a line break it just shows as "\N" and everything stays on one line. I checked the .ass format and that's how the subs are actually formatted. I converted those .ass to .srt which replaced the {\I1} crap with standard <I></I> symbols, but they still show up in the actual subtitles and nothing is italicized. Is there a way to get the formatting to show up, or is that just a limitation of this method so far?

24fps means also 23.976 fps . Try again but this time encode at 1080p instead of 720p

{\I1} codes will be automatically removed in next version (Tsmuxer supports only plain text) . I'm planing to remove \N code as well but I would need you to send me few examples (.ass files)

[Mordred]

Yeah, I'll try encoding at 1080 and see if the 1080p24 shows up on my TV. I guess it's possible there's no 720p24 output format, although that seems odd to me.

I'm attaching the .ass file that was showing up improperly. Stripping the {\I1}s and replacing the \N's with linebreaks would be awesome. These subs also use #s around song lyrics (which I think is kind of odd) but you'd need some kind of rule to strip the #s from the beginning and end of lines, but make sure that a # used in the middle of the line wasn't stripped I guess... although I doubt you'd see # in a subtitle normally anyway.

[dm1105]

@dm1105 - did you remember to burn with udf revision 2.5?

Apologies for the delayed response ( Only a moment ago, I returned home from a small trip during the week).

Yes, I did burn with UDF revision 2.5. Incidentally, I succesfully created a Blu-Ray ISO of the MKV, but now I have A/V sync issue with the Blu-Ray movie. The video is slowly drifting away from the audio. Towards the end of the film, the audio is approximately lagging behind one second. I am currently browsing the forum for an appropriate corrective measure.

[Ajax_Undone]

http://www.mediafire.com/?jewxy8ac7u4

Updated installer I am looking for comments on how this one works... So send me feed back...

[dm1105]

Concerning my A/V Sync issue, I found out that back in April of this year, there was a member that went by the name of m0nkie, and he (or she) had a very similar A/V sync issue to my own. Atak's response to m0nkie's problem was:

@m0nkie
Use AssumeFPS -> 23.976 and everything will be ok.

It's not that it seemed like a vague response, it's just that I would like to know the purpose of taking this particular action. Does anyone have a response?

[atreides93]

dm1105, I think "BluBoy" had the same problem you describe. Did you try that suggestion you mention, and did it work?

I am trying to make a ipod touch video from the bluray version of the bank job. Everytime I import the video into itunes and then try and sync it gives me an error saying it cannot sync the file.

on another note. ripbot264 never worked for me when it came to ipod format.

[loogmoo]

Well, its always good to have people knowing what one did. No overclocking on my side. I am not a freak.

@Atak: Thanks for the link, I will do the stress test.

[duramaximus]

I never did re-size.

I will try that today.

Thanks

Hi Atak,

stress tests are running now for 5 hours with setting "Blend". I will keep them running during the night and let you know. But my guess is: Everything is fine with the hardware.

[fib0by]

Do not use TSMuxer :) Import file directly from Blu-ray structure. Only in this case files will be joined together.

Great! But how to include the subtitles? RipBot does not allow to select the subtitle stream and it's not clear to me how to actually get the subtitle from the .m2ts from the BD (which software tools, what are the steps, etc).

P.S.: By the way, after I select the streams, when it says "please wait... remuxing blu-ray to mkv...", can you please add a Cancel button on that window? Right now I have to kill the RipBot program altogether to make it stop remuxing if I make a mistake.

P.P.S.: Also, would be nice to give the user a choice where to put the temporary mkv, instead of burying that choice in the configs (it's easy to forget about it). After selecting the streams, a window should pop-up asking "where to create temporary MKV?" or something like that, with the initial value deduced from the setting in the .ini file, but allowing the user to change it before the mkv starts being created. This would be very useful for people who have 2 hard-drives and always run this kind of big processing tasks like a ping-pong from one drive to the other (it's very fast when source and destination are different drives).

[duramaximus]

^ did u forget to resize?

OK, changed the video output size to 640 x 360, used the IPOD 3.0 setting, .mp4 extension & 2 pass for 700MB.

Itunes allowed me to sync this time but when I try and play the file my Ipod says "This movie format is not supported."

Any help would be great.

Except for a 20 minute video, my Vista64 (Intel Duo 3GB, 4GB Ram, 1TB HD) system everytime froze or rebooted while RipBot264 was running. I tried 5 or 6 different Blu-Ray rips.

Of 2 jobs, I kept the content of the temp directories. Which of this information shall I post here or put somewhere (where?) to get help?

Thanks - Loog Moo

Good morning!

As recommended, I have been running stress test now 2 times: 5 hours in a row and 12 hours in a row. Looks like the hardware works fine.

I am happy to giva any information necessary to get RipBot264 running. If you are interested, let me know where to beginn so we can find out why my PC freezes or reboots after running RipBot for some time.

My guess: One of the tools ued is the reason. Because during several tries, I do get separate video and audio files, but the whole process never ran through.

Could be disc errors. It happened to me before causing reboots and crashes when encodeing movies. If using xp or vista preform a disc check on all drives tick automatically fix file system errors and scan for an attempt recovery of bad sectors. reboot your machine and let it run it may take a while

dm1105, I think "BluBoy" had the same problem you describe. Did you try that suggestion you mention, and did it work?

I have read Blu-boy's only comment he ever had in this forum, and it seems that he and I have an identical problem. Unfortunately, it seems that nobody came to Blu-boy's aid. Maybe nobody knew what to say to him, or perhaps this is still an issue within the program...I don't know. But I do know that I did in fact use the "AssumeFPS -> 23.976" setting, but to no avail: the problem persists.

Interestingly enough, when I first acquired and played the MKV for the first time ever, which was a few days ago, it had the same problem the final Blu-ray movie has now: the video slowly drifted away from the audio. I corrected this by stretching the audio utilizing MKVmerge. It produced a copy of the MKV, only this time there was no A/V Sync issue. I discarded the original MKV and kept the new one, but oddly enough, the problem has returned.

[duramaximus]

Atak,

I tried the above settings and the Ipod still will not play it. This time I used "Jumper" as a test.

I was able to point to the file within "ITunes" and say convert but would much rather use your proggy instead :)

I'm currently on a business trip, but I will return home tomorrow. When I do, I will take a different MKV, encode & convert it into a Blu-ray disc. Hopefully, the resultant disc won't have A/V Sync issues.

I'm pretty sure that the fact that the the Blu-ray disc I created using RipBot had A/V Sync issues was merely a fluke. I'm sure that I will get a more promising result using an MKV that had no problems with it to start with. Still, I appreciate all the suggestions that I have received so far. And if anyone has a suggestion as to correct my A/V Sync issue, I would be glad to hear it. After all, we're all here to learn.

Ok one small bug fixed as far as selectable location is concerned... Is Fixed

This installer also includes a newr build of the updater with updated url info. Right now I am working on an xml base to allow updating of RipBot based on version info also working on FFD and Haali inclusive as well...

[fib0by]

The x264 options for Blu-Ray used by the current version of RipBot (1.10.4) are less than ideal. I made two movies so far, first one is played fine by the PS3, the second one the image freezes every few seconds, when there's a lot of motion or a scene change. There might be more to it than just that, but one difference is that the first movie looks softer and there's less motion.

The current (1.10.4) Blu-Ray x264 options in RipBot are similar to the Blu-Ray preset in Sharktooth's archive of MeGUI presets:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=139765

But the problem is this: RipBot's "Blu-Ray" profile is in reality for AVCHD disks, not for Blu-Ray. That's because the disk size target is 8150 MB, which indicates an AVCHD disk (2-layer DVD) not Blu-Ray (BD disk, 25 GB).

There's no doubt about that: the PS3 recognizes the 2-layer DVD as an AVCHD disk, not as a BD.

The difference between BD and AVCHD is that the AVCHD standard only allows for smaller max bitrate and smaller buffer size. In creating AVCHD disks with a Blu-Ray encoding profile, RipBot violates the AVCHD standard.

And that's exactly what happens on my PS3. The freezing stuttering image is exactly what happens with a decoder overwhelmed by a too high bitrate or a too high buffer size. It looks at the physical support, it sees it's a DVD, so it expects an MPEG4 stream compatible with AVCHD. Instead, it gets a BD-compatible stream, at a higher max bitrate.

Here's the proof: I encoded the same movie with MeGUI, using Sharktooth's Standalone-AVC-HD preset. Then muxed and authored the disk with tsmuxer. This time it worked very well, no stuttering.

Here are the x264 options generated by the AVCHD preset (slightly edited for privacy):

x264.exe --pass 1 --bitrate 8045 --stats job1.stats --level 4.1 --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1 --bframes 3 --direct auto --subme 1 --partitions none --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --vbv-bufsize 14000 --vbv-maxrate 16500 --qcomp 0.5 --me dia --threads auto --thread-input --sar 1:1 --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output NUL job1.avs --mvrange 511 --aud --nal-hrd --sar 1:1

x264.exe --pass 2 --bitrate 8045 --stats job1.stats --level 4.1 --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1 --ref 3 --mixed-refs --bframes 3 --b-rdo --bime --weightb --direct auto --subme 6 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --vbv-bufsize 14000 --vbv-maxrate 16500 --qcomp 0.5 --me umh --threads auto --thread-input --sar 1:1 --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output job1.264 job1.avs --mvrange 511 --aud --nal-hrd --sar 1:1

As you can see, it uses smaller values for bufsize and maxrate than RipBot. As a result, the video is played just fine by the PS3. The image quality is not worse than with the Blu-Ray profile. The encoding speed is about the same.

There are some other differences, e.g. MeGUI doesn't generate a video file in the first pass, it just sends the output to NUL, which is faster.

Conclusion: if the target is DVD (8150 MB or less), an AVCHD profile must be used, with the lower maxrate and all that stuff. Otherwise it may create a disk that cannot be played on some (all?) standalone players.

If the target would be true Blu-Ray (25 GB) then fine, use a bigger buffer and maxrate if you wish.

PS3 supports mp4 (avc+aac) , m2ts (avc+ac3) , blu-ray structure from DVD-R/RW/usb memory

[jamd1]

The x264 options for Blu-Ray used by the current version of RipBot (1.10.4) are less than ideal. I made two movies so far, first one is played fine by the PS3, the second one the image freezes every few seconds, when there's a lot of motion or a scene change. There might be more to it than just that, but one difference is that the first movie looks softer and there's less motion.

The current (1.10.4) Blu-Ray x264 options in RipBot are similar to the Blu-Ray preset in Sharktooth's archive of MeGUI presets:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=139765

But the problem is this: RipBot's "Blu-Ray" profile is in reality for AVCHD disks, not for Blu-Ray. That's because the disk size target is 8150 MB, which indicates an AVCHD disk (2-layer DVD) not Blu-Ray (BD disk, 25 GB).

Interesting but I don't agree about using tsmuxer. I have made 50+ bluray rips with ripbot - all for ps3 use. Rips( dvd5 and dvd9 ) made soley using ripbot encoding and muxing all play perfectly without stuttering. If I use tsmuxer either before or after a ripbot encode the resulting AVCHD stutters and plays poorly. (DVD5 i use a bitrate 3500-6000 - DVD9 i use a bitrate 6500-9000 ).

Atak - could you include an option to cut the movie length in the next release - i.e. to remove credits and therefore allow more space for the main part of the movie? (Using tsmuxer on a ripbotted file causes playback problems).

[dm1105]

The following question goes out to the knowledgeable:

Is there any way for RipBot to continue from where it left off with the encoding process after the computer shuts off during a power outage?

Such is my dilemma. I only had under two hours left in the encoding process using RipBot when suddenly the power goes out. It was only a matter of time when the uninterruptible power supply ran out of battery power to run my computer.

Thanks.

[~bT~]

^ if u still have the temp files and finished 1st pass (assuming it was 2 pass) then just go to the temp folder and double click the 2nd pass batch file. once that's completed, you will need to click on mux batch file too.

[dm1105]

Thank you for your helpful advice ~bT~, but I decided to start the project all over again before I was able to receive your response. However, I don't feel too bad because I meant to put subtitles into the movie the first time around, and now I have the chance to do so.

I now know what to do the next time this ever occurs. Thank you again.

Atak - first off, great program. I have been able to convert several Blu Rays into MKVs without a problem. I just recently ripped 30 Days Of Night (Blu Ray) to my HDD. I am now trying to use Ripbot to create an MKV, and I get the following error message during the demuxing:

"FFmpegSource: Couldn't open c:\temp\Ripbot264temp\job1\video.mkv (C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)"

Any idea what this error message is, as I mentioned I have been able to use Ripbot264 in the past without any problems. I am simply selecting the main m2ts file. For the Blu Ray Structure, the m2ts file shows up under playlist, Chapters: 16 Chapters; Video: h264/AVC 1080p24/1.001 (16:9) ; Audio: TrueHD/AC3, English, 5.1 Channels, 48khz.

I notice --nal-hrd is back in 1.10.5 is this because of a compatibility issue?

Personally I've tested most of the main stream players and it didn't make a difference with or without --nal-hrd during playback and seeking. I wouldn't be bringing it up except I've noticed it uses quite a few bits, thus lowering the available bits for the video in 2 pass mode or signifigantly raising the size in CRF (5-10% larger in the few clips I tested)

Also looks like you were able to test out P4x4, nice to see, I was only able to test on 2 players so far and there wasn't a problem.

Removing --aud also worked fine on the 2 players as long as picture timing info and SPS/PPS were checked in TSMuxer, without these 2 there was seeking issues. I don't notice any signifigant change by using --aud except a a few bits to the bitstream but insignifigant.

Remux your file in Tsmuxer. Then it will work. Unfortunetely current version of DGAVCDec (libavcodec) cannot proper decode that kind of interlaced stream. You will see blocks from time to time.

[Pitbull_Raven]

Why the hell does it always hang after encoding audio? It just sits there saying "Normalizing audio..." even after I have double checked that I have not selected it. And even if I have selected it. Anyone have a clue as to why this is happening and how to solve it? Oh, and btw, my Task Manager shows it's running BePipe for over an hour now and the total audio file is a little over 25 minutes, using a Core2Duo e6300. Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes.

Atak - thanks. So just to clarify, I should remux the file with TSMuxer so I get a 264/AVC video file and an AC3 audio file. I would then use Ripbot, feed the individual video and audio file in to create the MKV? Sorry if this is a question you have answered many times, I really haven't needed to use TsMuxer more then a couple of times as Ripbot has handled everything I have thrown at it so far.

I recently added subtitles to a Blu-Ray movie I created using RipBot. I selected two different subtitles: one English and the other Spanish (and in that order).

However, whenever I attempt to choose the English subtitles on the Blu-ray movie, nothing shows up. The Spanish subtitles are the only ones that can be displayed.

I decided to use MediaInfo to see if the English subtitles were even placed into the movie to begin with. They were. However, I found something odd in the information it gave me about the subtitles. Here is the info I gathered concerning the subtiltes:

Text #1

Menu ID : 1 (0x1)
Format : PGS
Video delay : 52mn 42s
Language : English

Text #2
ID : 4609 (0x1201)
Menu ID : 1 (0x1)
Format : PGS
Language : Spanish

As you can see, there is a video delay on the English subtitles. Suggestions?

Other required componets are installed.

An m2ts file is loaded ok.

I checked "save as mp4" in the menu.

The log is attached.

Any other components are missing ?

edit--------------
I forgot to change the default output directory. In Vista C: cannot be used.
I changed it to p:, now it is ok. mp4 is created.
But with no audio. Is AAC 2ch audio in m2ts not supported ?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Where did you get .m2ts with AAC audio? I have newer seen blu-ray/AVCHD video with AAC audio.

[pjo]

Where did you get .m2ts with AAC audio? I have newer seen blu-ray/AVCHD video with AAC audio.

In Japan, HiVision(High Definition) SAT broadcast is m2ts and AAC 2ch or 5.1ch.

I read that it can be done with RipBot264. Many users did that. But not here.

[pjo]

This time .m2ts is converted to .ts with AAC audio using tsMuxeR. The resulting .ts is palyed ok with sound with VLC.
Then .ts is fed into RipBot264. The resulting mp4 does not have sound when played with VLC or SMPlayer.

Does the AAC has to be remuxed and converted to AC-3 or wav for RipBot264 to encode in H.264 ?

Nice work! I've made several successful backups to type 5 and 9 Blu-Ray, and now I'm working on converting HD DVD to BD. I had to drop in and give you credit where it's due. This is truly a great and successful effort on your part. I'm curious. I live in Florida where the weather is sometimes volatile. I had previously finished the remuxing stage which I minimize until bedtime, but a power outage that lasted for almost two hours wiped it out. Would it be possible to add a way to save the setup stage for later re-encoding in such cases? If not no big deal, it's still a great addition to the world video backup. HLG

Does the AAC has to be remuxed and converted to AC-3 or wav for RipBot264 to encode in H.264 ?

pjo

I was able to put AAC audio into mp4.
The original .m2ts with aac was converted to .ts with tsMuxeR.
.ts was remuxed to .mpv and .aac with tsMuxeR.
.ts and .aac were fed into RipBot264 and mp4 was created which has audio.

If the resolution is set to 1280, .mp4 is played smoothly with VLC and SMPlayer.
But if the resolution is set to 1980 ( the original is 1980) , VLC and SMPlayer cannot play it smoothly. Audio is ok.

This PC is dual core 2.4GHz with 3GB RAM. The .mp4 file is stored in eSATA drive. OS is Vista.

Looking at Performance Monitor, CPU load goes up to 80% at the peak.

Does this mean that this PC is incapable of playing 1980 mp4 smoothly ?
Or is there any workaroound ? Will other H.264 codec improve playing performance ?

Please respond to these questions.

I have exactly that video card and an HP 22" LCD 1680x1050 and the screen quality are verry good.

What i can suggest you, check if your monitor has good (LCD with 5ms and less for sure, high quality 1680 new generation) and the last recommandation, Don't Use VLC player, video is not the same has "PowerDVD 8.0 Ultra". I have tested many software. Try to read with "Media Player Classic" was on the ripbot264/tools/mpc folders.

Seriously, you must have an very up to date pc! I have an Blu-ray player and two 8600GT in SLI and quality is verry nice!

Try with PowerDVD 8.0 !!! :o i have experience many softwares and PowerDVD 8.0 has an HARDWARE acceleration for nvidia cars are helpfull for video playback with HDCP compliant.

I have that card and the only one think i can comment is i don't think the videocard will make difference for video quality. Not about 8600GT and 8700GT... some little difference but don't sure it can be visible.

Personnally my setup are equalized. 4GB DDR2 800mhz at Dual Kit, 2x SATA2 raid configuration for speed support, and 8600GT pci-e. What i have seen, it could depend with which software he used and monitor lcd generation. 1680x1050 last year generation are more helpfull for playing HD contents, pixel are ultra fine and more details.

Thanks all who commented !

The LCD is Ben-Q HDCP compliant one. It plays 1920 HD .m2ts with PowerDVD 7.3 very smoothly.

.mp4 created by RipBot264 (1980 HD) has problem.

I installed Media Player Classic and FRAPS, now the .mp4 (1980 HD) is played very smoothly, 30fps max.

So 8600GT is not a problem and the 2.4GHz Dual Core is not a problem. The problem is in the VLC H.264 decoder. The LCD monitor is not a problem.

BTW PowerDVD 7.3 cannot play this .mp4. The original .m2ts is played ok.

Is the Media Player Classic the only player which uses ffdshow ?

[jeffy]

I have exactly that video card and an HP 22" LCD 1680x1050 and the screen quality are verry good.

...

Seriously, you must have an very up to date pc! I have an Blu-ray player and two 8600GT in SLI and quality is verry nice!


Doesn't pjo have only one card and doesn't it change the situation?

No there is a plethora of players out there that use DirectShow & filters/codecs like FFDshow! VLC usually comes with all codecs pre-configured for paying the video's that it supports I do not know of its abilities because I've never gone as far as to use it for anything in Video encoding...

Any directshow media player can and if installed will likely use FFDshow to play the file.. FDD being the codec Directshow being the method of image transport...

I am curious to try other DirectShow player.
Some examples please.

[~bT~]

^ it is not the GFX card, i have the same card too.

it must be the renderer/codec used. use MPC-HC or KMPlayer that should do the job fine.

Thanks. KMPlayer does not accept .m2ts.

KMPlayer is able to play m2ts with AAC audio.

Atak: Thanks for a real gem of a utility, which has been a great timesaver for me.

I have run into a minor issue with encoding from NTSC DVDs which have several television episodes combined in a single VOB file. For example, Futurama Volume 1 Disc 1 (US) contains four episodes, all of which are stored in VTS_04_{0,1,2,3,4,5}.VOB as four separate program chains (PGCs). As near as I can tell, the most popular utility for spliting a VOB into separate PGCs is pgc.NET. (I have version 2.0.0.0 which appears to be the most recent version.) I can use pgc.NET to strip out the appropriate program chain, which it stores in a separate file, e.g., VTS_04_PGC_01_1.VOB in the case of episode 1. The VOB file created by pgc.NET contains just the single episode represented by the selected program chain.

The problem is this. Futurama is interlaced, and the episodes look like crap without de-interlacing. If in RipBot, I select the whole VOB file, I am able to select deinterlace and decimate via the video properties button. The downside is that all four episodes are joined together, and I cannot select just the one episode I want.

On the other hand, if I select the single-episode VOB file created by pgc.NET, the options to deinterlace and to decimate are disabled (greyed out) so that I cannot activate them. If I had to guess, it looks like pgc.NET may not be copying certain information into the single episode (or single program chain) file, so maybe RipBot does not recognize that the video is interlaced.

If anyone can help with the above issue, I would very much appreciate it.

[~bT~]

^ all i can advise you is to use megui for dvd's or fairuse (http://bt.dvd-guides.com/How%20to%20rip%20episodic%20DVDs.htm)
http://www.fairusewizard.com/lang_en/

rb264 is gr8 for hd stuff but i didn't find it easy for episodic dvd.

[mmmmdonut]

Or use Handbrake. For Futurama I believe you want to leave the deinterlacer settings alone and use the vfr setting.

[duramaximus]

Atak,

Just one quick question for you.

I am trying to make a BD9 of No Country for Old Men with the latest release v1.10.5.

I picked the english option for subtitles at the first pop-up screen.

Will these subtitles be automatically demuxed into the movie or do I have to do something else after picking the correct language from the first pop-up screen?

Thanks

[leemjas]

IS there a way having the subtitles switchable on the PS3 by using Ripbot. I have tried and all i can achieve is that the subtitles are embedded with the movie.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Will these subtitles be automatically demuxed into the movie or do I have to do something else after picking the correct language from the first pop-up screen?

Thanks
At the moment subtitles will be only demuxed to temp folder. Use SUPread to convert .sup file to .srt

On the other hand, if I select the single-episode VOB file created by pgc.NET, the options to deinterlace and to decimate are disabled (greyed out) so that I cannot activate them.
Those options are disabled if source has already 23.976fps.(FILM)
BTW. Could you send me 50MB sample ? (untouched VTS_04_1.VOB ). It seams that pgc.NET correctly detected original fps but not RipBot :( (29.97fps instead of 23.976)

[leemjas]

IS there a way ripbot can be configured to have selectable subtitles rather than "burning them in" the movie on the PS3?

For episodic dvds I use DVDFab Decrypter. It allows user to select which episode should be copied on hard drive. For normal movies I use AnyDVD (decrypting in real time is very usefull)

[jamd1]

If you are ripping the video file at the same resolution as the original file then the resulting .m2ts will play the demuxed subtitles properly. For some reason Atak has chosen not to do this at the moment . But you can manually edit the tsmuxer.meta file in your ripbot264temp\job1 directory. Add this to the end of the file with a text editor (notepad):

S_HDMV/PGS, "F:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\xxxx.sup", fps=23.976

Where xxxx.sup is the name of your subtitle and F is the drive where the temp files are stored.

Note that if you are downsampling the movie from say 1920 to 720 the subtitles will appear garbled. The only way to add subtitles to a downsampled rip is by first converting to .srt ( which is a painstaking process). If a movie has lots of subtitles I keep the original resolution and remux as above.

I have a video 15fps, I convert it to mkv, but in the command line you put 24fps for muxing. I just edit it to put 15 and my video is sync.

Hi,

this is a realy great tool. didn't need more then 10 minutes to do my first encode.

now i have a problem with my apple tv. if i take a *.m2ts or a *.ts HD h.264 file and convert it with the apple tv setting the picture is juddering on the apple tv. even if i reduce resolution.

how can i solve this? is there a possibllity to reduce bandwith?

Regards :thanks:

For some reason Atak has chosen not to do this at the moment . But you can manually edit the tsmuxer.meta file in your ripbot264temp\job1 directory. Add this to the end of the file with a text editor (notepad):

I am talking about an .MKV file using the 2 pass option (with lock size+ blu ray format) and not the actual ripping.

[dbone1026]

Send me sample ~50MB (original .m2ts file)


For god sake! You were supposed to remux whole broken ts file without even touching audio! New TS file must have the same streams!

Atak - stupid on my part. I was able to remux without touching Audio, and after that Ripbot worked like a charm. As always, thanks for your help

I've been working on Rambo 2 and keep getting an audio sync issue. I've tried both the DTS HD MA track as well as the English AC3 5.1 track and both outputs have the same audio sync issue. I am currently trying to set the audio delay and was wondering if there is a systematic way to try and gauge the correct delay versus taking a random guess.

Thanks for the help. I do have project files if anyone needs to see them. Profile used is the one for atv.

[dbone1026]

Here is a quick question I thought I would ask if anyone has any insight. To create a 1080p MKV (4.1 Blu Ray Console setting in Ripbot), does the source file have to be a blu ray/hd-dvd 1080p, or can you take a standard DVD and upconvert it to 1080p (or some hi def equivalent)?

Upscaling is useless. It won't give you better quality (576p or 480p -> 1080p).

Atak - The delay appears to be constant versus slipping over the course of the film.

Why the hell does it always hang after encoding audio? It just sits there saying "Normalizing audio..." even after I have double checked that I have not selected it. And even if I have selected it. Anyone have a clue as to why this is happening and how to solve it? Oh, and btw, my Task Manager shows it's running BePipe for over an hour now and the total audio file is a little over 25 minutes, using a Core2Duo e6300. Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes.

Sorry to bring this up again, but I still haven't found a solution. Could anyone help out?

Thanks for the reply. I fixed the problem with the audio back in my old post. If I am not mistaken it was a megui issue. I solved it. I was giving RipBot a try. But since I can't get past the audio issue, I guess I am going to have to give up. It only happens if I use a avs script as video source, even though I do manually select the ac3 file as audio source. The problem is that I need to use the avs as video source in order to burn the subs into the video.

I made a few Blu-ray movies into MKV files that I am viewing on the PC only using RipBot264. I use either VLC player or PowerDVD 8 for playback viewing. What I noticed is that when I try to skip a scene or move forward a little the movies freeze to the point where I have to close the players and restart the movie. I used Xvid4PSP for 2 of these movies and Ripbot264 for 3. Each one does the same thing when trying to skip through the movies. Is this normal or did I miss something during the encoding process? Other than that, they all play well if I just watch them through and sound is perfect as well as video. Thanks. Just curious.

Hmmm ....

now itunes tells me, that my appletv won't support the format. if I then convert it via itunes i have noch picture :-(

did i do sth wrong with the format?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Restore original settings. This time encode something what has 23.976 fps (1280x720) or 29.97fps (960x540) instead of 25fps

[Atak_Snajpera]

I made few test clips. Tell me which one is working on your AppleTV.

IS there a way ripbot can be configured to have selectable subtitles rather than "burning them in" the movie on the PS3?

I still haven't found a solution. Could anyone help out?

[Pitbull_Raven]

Properties -> Subtitles

Damn... I can't believe that I didn't see that :(
Anyways... you're really good! That worked perfectly. No more problems. Thanks a million!

You must use Blu-Ray disc in order to have selectable subtitles on PS3.

[mmmmdonut]

For aTV, I resize to 1280x720 and verify fps is 23.976.

Then I change from cq to 2 pass mode with rate set to 4096 and have not had any issues playing the output file with any of my aTV's.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Did you check my samples?

[hdpete]

Hi Atak

I've mastered using Ripbot264 for Blu-Rays but would appreciate your help using it for ripped HD DVD's. I always convert to MKV, using 2-Pass to fit a 8.5gb DVD, Copy audio Stream, either Full HD or HD depending on the size of the bitrate.

If I import a ripped EVO with a Dolby Digital Plus soundtrack into Ripbot264 and select Copy Stream for audio, will Ripbot convert the Dolby Digital Plus soundtrack to standard Dolby Digital 640kbps? I know I could use the Aften option but I don't want to compress the audio from an already compressed soundtrack which Dolby Digital Plus is.

Thanks

I know I could use the Aften option but I don't want to compress the audio from an already compressed soundtrack which Dolby Digital Plus is.

DD+ (eac3) is automatically converted to flac. So if you want ac3 do not select copy stream because you will get flac in your MKV.

[mmmmdonut]

Atak heres one for you. I know you said HD DVD is dead to you but I just stumbled across a disc that looks like it has an intro before the movie starts and the playlist shows the intro + the main movie. Problem is for audio it only shows 2 channel source which I presume is because of the intro.

I have uploaded the job file for you if you wish to take a look.

Cheers

try this
copy /b "FEATURE1.EVO"+"FEATURE2.EVO" "c:\combined_evos.evo"
open combined_evos.evo in ripbot264

[asarian]

I recently installed Windows Server 2008 on a Vmware machine (because Windows Server 2008 supports more than 2 CPU's). I try to do my rendering on that machine now, to off-load my regular one. Okay, installed RipBot264, and tried my first VC-1 source. Getting an error (from Media Player Classic):

"Cannot play back the video stream: no suitable decompressor could be found."

I tried installing a Vista Codex pack, but to no avail. Same error. There's nothing in the RipBot264 log, either. Anyone know what I should add/do to make this error go away? Obviously, a codec issue of sorts, but obviously not clear which one.

Thanks.

[Ajax_Undone]

Codec packs suck un install them..

Vista 64 supports multiple cpus (more then two) Server 2008 though great for virtualization (new feature by the way) and server tasks Sucks for video encoding...

The FFDshow filters have not been made to run in a virtualized environment hence
"Cannot play back the video stream: no suitable decompressor could be found." error.. Though it has been known to work...

[leemjas]

You must use Blu-Ray disc in order to have selectable subtitles on PS3.

Hi I tried that; when I play the movie the subtitles are displayed correctly but I cannot toggle them off or on."They seemed to be burned in"

When I press the triangle on the PS3 it says that there are no subtitle option.

I must be doing something wrong or picking the wrong option when I choose the subtitles.

[mmmmdonut]

try this
copy /b "FEATURE1.EVO"+"FEATURE2.EVO" "c:\combined_evos.evo"
open combined_evos.evo in ripbot264

The copy /b cmd worked great at combining the two evo files. When I told RB to open the file I could see 5.1 audio from the drop down list. However when it went to mux it to mkv I noticed this am it did not create the video file. Looking at the logs I saw some traces back to my original source directory. Since I had a pending job in queue I couldnt close the app to flush the memory so I will give that a try this evening and post back the results.

Thanks for the quick suggestion.

Thanks

Yes, that's OK for some, but not for longer movies like 'The Patriot'.

A few of us have been asking, begging :), for this option but I would not hold your breath.

A BD9 looks perfect to me on my 67" DLP. DL-DVD's are a lot cheaper and l dont even need a Blu-ray burner!!!

[jtheripper]

TRue a BD9 looks great but a 25GB BD-R option would be nice to have so you could keep the original HD audio (DTS master, DD true hd or lossless LPCM) and only have to downsize the video on some movies

[Ajax_Undone]

?? ok so whats your question. Do you want pre sets for DVD-9's or BD-25's???

Or is that even your question...

[duramaximus]

For some reason I thought the BD-9 option kept the HD audio streams intact (copy stream) and only compressed the video. Is this not the case?

[jtheripper]

The price has dropped alot already. I can get BD-R at Fry's for $7.00 each now. The burners are now around $225

[jtheripper]

HD audio streams are usually over 8GB in size, especially the LPCM lossless ones so I don't see how they would fit on a BD9 although I have never tried

[hdpete]

?? ok so whats your question. Do you want pre sets for DVD-9's or BD-25's???

Or is that even your question...

It would be great to have a 25gb BD-R preset, I guess it's about the 23gb mark. Although it can be added manually, I just need to know waht the exact file size should be. Blank Blu-Ray's are still too expensive to get a coaster cos your file size is too big!

[duramaximus]

The price has dropped alot already. I can get BD-R at Fry's for $7.00 each now. The burners are now around $225

WOW! I still thought they were around the $15 - $20 range.
That awesome news. I will have to go check it out.
I have a FRY's about 40 minutes from me.
Thanks for the info.

If they are out of stock you can get them online at mwave.com or newegg for $7.99 each

Ummmm.....just manually enter your deisired size in MB. I think BD-25s are around 22500 MB.

BD5=4480 MB BD9=8150 MB (these already exist)

Not really that difficult.

How would you enter the desired size? Only way I see doing it is figure out the bitrate for encoding to get the desired file size for the video either using a bitrate calculater or the old fashion way and enter that in the bitrate and dont lock a size

As the price of blank BD-R's start to fall (not soon enough I hasten to add!), we'd probably like to see Ripbot264 morph into a Blu-Ray version of DVD Shrink, i.e shrink the main movie and possibly keep the original menus onto a single layer BD-R.

Hopefully it won't be long beofre DVD-ROM's are thought of as the CD-R's of optical media! Aparently Pioneer have already developed a 500gb Blu-Ray disc!

Dude there is a complex plethora of things that need to be looked at b4 it will ever get to that point...


PS upon later versions use the updater in your start menu directory I will usually have the next updated version on the server any where from 1-12 hours... I have been redesigning the installer set because I was left with out any of my prior code by version 2.0 I will have a new installer that will be made for this project and others...

Well it's definately going it the right direction and I for one really appreciate the only piece software that makes HD authoring a bit easier. Cheers!

As a hi-fi enthusiast, I spent a fair bit of money on my surround amp, speakers and cabling. Whilst I'm happy to compress a 1080p video a bit, it would be nice if copy stream meant copy stream rather than converting HD audio to a lesser format. Do you think it would be possible in future versions of Ripbot264 to allow more audio choice, i.e have more than one audio track and keep HD audio unmolested? Again this all ties in to the lowering price of BD-R's and the desire to keep as much of the original Blu-Ray content as possible.

[Ajax_Undone]

no one was saying otherwise just was pointing out the large task it will be b4 anybody will get there...

[KyleEshna]

I have a question about converting video's for my iPod Classic.

I've converted 3 different music videos and they all have the same total bit rate of 1152kbps. Now, I've download 4 music video's from iTunes Music Store and they all have different total bit rates (1541kbps, 1553kbps, 1607kbps & 1640kbps). Is there anyway to make my converted videos have a variable bitrate like the videos from the iTunes Music Store?

And one more question. How would I go about editing the audio of a video? The first few seconds are static and I'd like to make them silent with Audacity. Would I just go to the temp folder after RipBot demuxes the audio stream and edit the .mp3? Audio Identifier says the mp3's bitrate is 128kbps encoded with Lame 3.97 so I'm assuming it'd be find to edit the mp3 and reencode it with Lame 3.97 and put it pack into the temp folder and proceed with the video conversion.

[hdpete]

Does anyone know how I can convert a demuxed HD DVD Dolby Digital Plus soundtrack to 23.976fps?

I'll use Ripbot264 to convert the HD DVD video to Blu-Ray, but don't want the audio converted to FLAC. I assume if I demux the DD+ soundtrack from the HD DVD, change the FPS to Blu-Ray 23.976fps and then mux it back with the Ripbot converted HD DVD video I'll get a Blu-Ray with compliant DD+ soundtrack.

Thanks for your help.

[Atak_Snajpera]

2-pass and constant quality mode gives always variable bitrate! 1152kbps is avarage value not constant.

How would you enter the desired size?
Don't make me laugh. Use keyboard maybe.

Btw any tips for inserting image for 3-5 sec at opening, my file always get ripped by another website.

You can do this through avisynth. Just google "logo, watermark, avisynth." You can add overlays, images, or just a small logo if you want. Here is a sample guide (there are many others floating around):
http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=48608

In ripbot264, when you push properties, it shows you the avisynth script. Just manually add it to your script.

Good question and I think I know the answer :)

As i mentioned previously the subtitles display correctly but are not switchable they are burned in the movie.

So what am I doing wrong?

[hdpete]

Please can someone tell me how I can convert the single flac .thd 5.1 audio file created in Ripbot264's temp folder to 6 seperate channel wavs? As I have SurCode DTS, I want to turn the original TrueHD converted to FLAC by Ripbot into a 1536kbps DTS soundtrack, but I need the individual 6 channels as WAVs to load into SurCode.

Thanks for your advice.

P.S. I've tried conversion with dbPowerAmp, but there's a 4gb wav limit.

I got RipBot264 (v1.10.5) working on my Vista machine but decided to put it on a spare WinXP computer so I can just let it run until done. On the WinXP, after RipBot264 muxes the bluray to MKV, MPC runs and displays an error message about Directshowsource can't open video.mkv due to a certification failure (getinfo.avs, line 20). Any suggestion as to how to correct?

[dirk362]

I've had plenty of success with BluRay to MKV, and all worked fine with exact sizes, great quality etc. RipBot264 has been an eye-opener of an application that does exactly what people want without overcomplicating things.

Done.

The resultant FLAC file is 2.76Gb in size. This should leave 5.24Gb for Video

RipBot264 insists if I set 2-Pass, Lock @ 8150, that bitrate is 11093. This of course creates a massively oversized file of 11.9Gb, which even taking into account the 2.76Gb for Audio makes it 9.14Gb for Video, which is wrong as well.

I'd thought the bitrate calculation (please correct me if I'm wrong) for x264 is something like

Video Bitrate = ((Size - (Audio * Length )) / Length) * 8

Which for this disc would be ((8345600 – (192.25 * 7141)) / 7141) * 8
which equates to a Video Bitrate = 7811

Is there something obvious I'm missing here around HDDVD and RipBot264 ? I'm currently trying a different film to check this is reproduceable.

Interestingly (perhaps not) MeGUI reckons that video bitrate should be 6249

I guess the obvious question would be can someone post the details of the calculation method(s) within RipBot264 ?

First I go through the properties tab and pick the option build in picture and then I go to the 3 dot subtitle tab and pick the subtitles again.

As i mentioned previously the subtitles display correctly but are not switchable they are burned in the movie.

So what am I doing wrong?

I knew from the begining what you did wrong :) "build in picture" means "they are burned in the movie."

What happens if you encode audio to AC3 instead of FLAC?

[Atak_Snajpera]

On the WinXP, after RipBot264 muxes the bluray to MKV, MPC runs and displays an error message about Directshowsource can't open video.mkv due to a certification failure (getinfo.avs, line 20).
Remove all codec packs, Install latest Windows Media Player , FFDSHOW , HAAli media splitter and AviSynth

[dirk362]

Atak,

If I encode audio to AC3 instead of FLAC, this creates a "crap" audio file - by this I mean its all there etc, but the audio is choppy, has "clicking" in it for want of a better description. I've never determined why Aften always seems to create bad encodes for me. The PC this is all running on has never had anything other than RipBot264 and Nero 7 installed to ensure I'm not inheriting any bad codec packs etc.

But in terms of output size, I do end up with a valid 2-pass locked to 8150 encode and its the correct size. So going with AC3 640Kbps its correct. Keeping the better audio within FLAC, its wrong.

As a quick sanity check, I am checking 1.10.4 to the muxing stage to see what it states as the bitrate. This is using the versions of eac3to etc that were also in 1.10.4, which do have slight differences (e.g. RipBot264 states length is 1:58:46 for the joined EVO files, whereas eac3to correctly still shows 1:59:1 in the log files). This also states same bitrate as 1.10.5 of 11093

If I therefore wish to progress with HD-DVD then it appears I need to stick with AC3 and therefore I'll have to determine what is breaking the re-encoding of the audio - I do so hate having to rebuild the PC again, but its probably the safest option. I may also try out a VM first just to sanity check the Aften issue once and for all.

If there are any logs etc that would be useful, let me know. I've kept a copy of the working files from the encode (just not the video.mkv and the .flac file to save a bit of disk space)

[Atak_Snajpera]

If I encode audio to AC3 instead of FLAC, this creates a "crap" audio file - by this I mean its all there etc, but the audio is choppy, has "clicking" in it for want of a better description.
Did you check if .flac is free of "clicking" ? Maybe source .flac is already broken and therefore aften produces corrupted AC3? I've noticed that eac3to uses Nero Decoder. Could you check with libav (remove nero)

Regarding file size with flac audio. I will do some test letter.

[dirk362]

The FLAC file is fine (checking once its been demuxed) and no issues with audio clicking or drop outs etc.

I will do as you suggest and remove Nero so that libav is used, and post results (will also try with force eac3to to use libav as well just for "intersting" comparison)

[dirk362]

OK. There turns out there is nothing wrong with the AC3 conversion - it was my SPDIF settings. Somewhere along the line something (possibly me in a fit of stupitity) changed the SPDIF Restrict Sample Rate - this had been set to 48kHz only, so 44kHz wasn't enabled. If I remove the Restriction, output of the converted AC3 file plays fine. So using libav works fine to convert E-AC3 to AC3 640Kbps rather than using FLAC.

There is still the issue of oversized output when using FLAC though. I'd still rather use FLAC for the audio for better quality, so if your testing does turn up a fix, that would be great.

[Wishbringer]

I am just uploading a cutted 10sec clip (with tsMuxeR 1.8.4b):
http://www.mediafire.com/?ii9cqpbxvcp

It's from a BluRay-Disk.
When selecting stream on BD, I only get Russian TrueHD and Japanese AC3 in dropdown-menu, all other Audio tracks in DTS are not shown.
When making this little example clip, and selecting clip from hdd, all audio tracks are shown in menu.

So there are two thoughts:
Maybe RipBot has two identification routines for BD and m2ts files, and the BD routine don't "see" the DTS tracks,
or tsMuxeR alters the stream that RipBot can handle DTS.
But if 2nd thought is true, it's worthless to upload clips made with tsMuxeR, because Atak_Snajpera only sees working solution and can't narrow down on problem.
Is there another way to make clips? (I cant upload original 44GB stream ;-) )

[Atak_Snajpera]

There is still the issue of oversized output when using FLAC though.
I will try to fix that.

I'd still rather use FLAC for the audio for better quality, so if your testing does turn up a fix, that would be great.
I would rather use AC3 640kbps audio instead of flac. I prefer better quality video than audio. FLAC audio eats to much bits from video.

When selecting stream on BD, I only get Russian TrueHD and Japanese AC3 in dropdown-menu, all other Audio tracks in DTS are not shown.

I have been using Ripbot to convert my Blu Ray/HD DVD rips to mkv, and it has worked like a charm. Now I have set my sights on my standard dvd rips. I was looking to convert them to MP4. Any suggestions on the best settings to use? I would like to maintain as much quality as possible, but try to lock the file size to no more than 2GB'ish. I have an Xbox/PS3 that I could use to stream, but most likely I will use Popcorn Hour or SageTV Extender. Unfortunately I am in the process of running Cat5e wiring in my house, but it probably won't be done for another few weeks, so I won't be able to test the files out on my HDTVs yet (the reason why I thought I would ask now what settings everyone would recommend, don't want to run the risk that I create a bunch of files only to then test them out on my tvs in a few weeks and find out they look like crap). My HDTVs are 42' and 60'. I was thinking about using the following settings:

Video -> 4.1 HD ->2-Pass->2000MB (or should I just use Constant Quality and figure out which one gets me close to 2000MB?)
Audio -> 5.1 CT AAC-LC 320 kbps [abr]
Crop -> Automatically
Size -> Do Not Resize -> 720 x 480 (should I resize to HD-Full/HD-Ready or does that not accomplish anything since these are not HD dvds?)

[~bT~]

^ The below is what I would do..

Video - L4.1 @ 21 or 22 CQ in MKV (PH plays MKV)
Audio - AAC @ 192 or 256 kbps (320 IMO is overkill)
Crop and resize to SD-PC if source is DVD files as its not clear from your post above as you mention rips..

[dbone1026]

Dirk - I have had the same problem. I have converted 2 HD DVD movies, both using same presets (locking file size at 8150MB). First movie came out at 11.7GB, the second movie came out at 7.93GB. It appears the that first file suffered from the same issue that you had, second file came out perfect. I am going to try and encode a third file tonight, lets see what result I get.

[Ajax_Undone]

Depends on source the better quality of source the bigger file you get regardless of set size... Had the same problem with Divx about a year ago...

I'm getting this error all the time after the program finishes remuxing to mkv

I'm running server 2003 SP2 with all the latest updates as of 24hrs ago. WMP 11 and I did a clean install of ripbot264, ffdshow & avisynth. I never used to get this problem and so a bit baffled to why it is happening now.

Any ideas?

Thanks

[aeroliteflyer]

First let me say, this is the first program I have used that converted my .mpg (DVD rip) to h.264 reliably and with perfect audio sync and smooth video. I had several movies encoded for my iPhone 1. Everthing was good. then I downloaded to 2.0.1, and now on the iPhone it says "this movie format not supported". I have tried turning all settings off and everything I could think of, still nothing. I used videora, and those play just fine on the iphone, as well as some others, but I cant get them to get the good audio sync and smooth video that I have gotten using ripbot. So I am just wondering what I am missing, maybe one of you knows what in the world apple changed to not like these encodings now. I tried the ones i had, that were working perfectly, and i tried doing them again. I know its something with the new iphone software, and not ripbot, just wondering if anyone here might know what is throwing off new iphone software. Apparently i am not the only one either. Thanks for any responses.

Ah, the dreaded FFmpegSource error. I received the same error, I don't know if this is the same problem as you are having. Atak suggested that I take the original m2ts file and create a new one using TsRemux, and then use the new file with Ripbot. This worked like a charm. I only get this error once in a while with specific files, but the TsRemux rebuild seems to do the trick.

TsRemux reports an error with the streams and on completion the resulting file is unresponsive. I'll have another play with the stream to see if I can fix it.

It appears the that first file suffered from the same issue that you had, second file came out perfect. I am going to try and encode a third file tonight, lets see what result I get.


I've done another 3 HD-DVD encodes, leaving audio as do not encode (therefore as FLAC). One came out correct size, one oversized at 11.2Gb and one oversized at 10.9Gb. The correctly sized one has quite low bitrate for video of 6830 Kbps, which for a 2h18m film is too low, and it shows.

I'm going to go with the recommendation and encode to AC3 640Kbps, and put more bits aside for video. It only adds a few minutes processing, and in two tests the audio/video is fully sync'ed.

[asarian]

Thanks, Atak. I got the ffdshow issue resolved now. But while rendering, in Windows 2008, I get the following error after a few hours:

"x264 has stopped working"

I tried to upgrade the x264 version you include in your package, but RipBot264 (v1.10.5) immediately says all jobs are finished when I do that. Is there a way I can bypass that?

Can anyone give me a link to the 64 bit version of x264.exe to use with Vista 64 and Ripbot264?

[illestdomer2005]

Hey guys, I am new here, and I've browsed this thread but probably missed some stuff; so, if my question has been asked and answered, I apologize. Anyhow, I've got a new comp with an LG GGC-H20L BD-ROM, 780i mobo, Q6700 2.66GHz Quad-core, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, 8800 GT GPU, and 500 GB SATA HD. When I fire RipBot up, it seems to take an inordinately long time processing my .m2ts files before it even gives me the option to enqueue the job. Does RipBot demux the selected audio and video file into a single video and audio stream before it'll run or...? It just took roughly 3 hours before my Hellboy BD (ripped to hard drive first) was even available for compression. Do I have a codec issue or something? If so, how can I completely start from scratch and install what I need -- and only what I need to avoid potential conflicts -- and in what order should I install?

I know I am a bit of a "n00b" with this stuff, but I appreciate any help. Thanks guys. Oh, and I've used XVID4PSP to also convert my BDs into MP4s and MKVs. It doesn't seem to take nearly the prep time, but it has its own pet issues, I guess. I just wanted to fix whatever problems I'm having with RipBot since everybody seems to love it.

[~bT~]

If your having problems then maybe post a log so the developer can help you...

[dirk362]

In some of my encodes I've noticed some unwanted blocking, most notable in scenes where they fade up or down (e.g. fade at end of movie, fade between acts).

Having compared encodes from several sources, as well as lots of investigation around the web and forums, as well as DVXA settings in "competing" applications, I'd like to canvass people's opinions/views around some of the settings in the current level 4.1 profile.


deblock - At present we have 1:0:0, which is defaults in x264. When not using cqm, there is some value to using 1:-1:-1 to retain detail. Has any one done any comparison encodes ? Certainly it seems 1:-1:-1 will retain better detail without blocking when not using cqm.

trellis & psy_rd - When using RDO, x264 wiki seems to state that trellis=2 is preferred to trellis=0, as that will retain quality over speed of encode.

ref - Max for 1080p is 4, max for 720p is 9. Is 3 a good average, and does RipBot264 take this into account and adjust this based on avisynth resizing if not encoding to 1920x1080 ?
However, as we use b_pyramids, are we actually stating ref=4, but then applying the -1 to this value to fix x264 and its (potential) issues with b-pyramids ?

keyint & min-keyint - Everything I read states this should be based around framerate. So for HD/BluRay, shouldn't these be 240 & 24 ? They always seem to be the default of 250 & 25.

Any thoughts from anyone ?

I'm going to perform an encode of a single chapter from a BluRay with the default level 4.1 profile, and then the same with "my" values by creating a custom 4.1 profile and compare them at same frame (by eye)

Hello,
I've upgraded to 1.50.5 from 1.8.x and now when I set a list of video to convert everytime it finishes one file it say in status "Muxing.." (anyway the file is already finished and ready to play) that lasts for ever. I have to abort and restart every file:confused:

is there anyway I can drag & drop or insert a lot of files together without choosing each one and setting the same global settings?

use deinterlace and decimate to fix it... The decimation will keep audio aligned

I usually choose Top Feild 29.97 It really depends on where it starts top or bottom in the pic it looks as if it starts on top so choose top first... Also on the next page select decimate to keep the audio in sync

Pardon my ignorance, but what difference does a single hard drive make? I guess I could understand how the RPMs or cache might have an effect on the time it takes, but not having multiple HDDs in RAID?

I mean, I can use TSMuxer to parse MUCH quicker than RipBot seems to do, and I figured that was one of the tools that the GUI used. I'm currently using XVID4PSP just because it's much easier for me to use, gives me pretty good results, and just seems to jive with my hardware best lol

But no other ideas why it takes RipBot so long? I found that it also took MEGui a really long time (over an hour) to "analyse" my input before I finally got too impatient to wait any longer.

If this really IS a hard drive issue, I might have to look into adding another one or two!

[aeroliteflyer]

I have ripbot 1.9.2, used it with no problems. I have many DVD's i ripped to MPEG 2 for my computer, and i use ripbot to conver to h.264, no problems. On all the movies, everyone on the main screen says 29.97, so i assume that means interlaced, so i select deinterlace and tdecimate, no problems. audio sync is also perfect. I started using 1.10.4, and some of the movies are now detect as 23.976, which i assume is progressive. so now the option to deinterlace and tdecimate are gone. but after i convert the movies, the audio is slightly out of sync, which i assume is due to the tdecimate/deinterlace issue. But i go back and use 1.9.2 and everything is fine there? I obviously would like to use the later versions, but not sure what i am doing wrong, everything to this point has been pretty straight forward. Thanks for any info..

[dirk362]

Is there any way to add extra x264 command line switches into the .ini files ? When you customise a profile within the interface, only a small set of parameters are there. This is entirely correct for everyday use as we're trying to have a simple easy to use system.

There are however a couple of parameters I'd really like to use into the ini file. I can of course edit the two batch files for the two passes to add these, but its a pain to remember, and also you have to recognise the differences between pass1 and pass2 in terms of parameters to pass.

I don't want to complicate the product as I find its straight-forward approach refreshing when you compare to other options out there. But then again, its always nice to be able to put the odd extra tweak in via some form of advanced settings...

[duramaximus]

Is it possible to keep the HD audio track in a Bluray and still re-encode the video?

I would like to shrink down all my Blurays keeping the main video file, english subtitle and the best audio track in HD form.

My future goal is to back up all my Blurays to BD-25 someday.

I am not sure if ripbot can achieve this all by itself or is other software required.

Thanks :)

[duramaximus]

Ok, upon further reading of the forums I have a couple more questions about lossless audio.

COPY STREAM option in audio will convert to FLAC.

Is FLAC the same as TrueHD and DTS-HD?

Thanks

[jtheripper]

I have backed up a couple of Blurays keeping the main movie and the lossless audio only. True that copy stream converts lossless audio but that does not matter. You can use TSMUXer after you encode the movie in ripbot. First I rip the bluray disc to my HD and then use tsmuxer to select only the main movie and lossless audio from the m2ts file. Then I demux them. , if less then 22.5GB total then you dont need to do anything else except mux them together. If it is over that (which most dual layer BD are that have lossless audio) then you need to shrink the size in ripbot. In tsmuxer you select the m2ts file you created in ripbot then uncheck the audio track and check the h.264 track . Next you open the original m2ts bluray file in tsmuxer and uncheck the h.264 file and check the lossless audio file. Then mux the 2 selected files into bluray. Works great. only problem is that it seems that there is some video stuttering sometimes in high action scenes on the ripbot encode. Probably the parameters the program uses for the encode.

Is it possible to keep the HD audio track in a Bluray and still re-encode the video?

I would like to shrink down all my Blurays keeping the main video file, english subtitle and the best audio track in HD form.

My future goal is to back up all my Blurays to BD-25 someday.

I am not sure if ripbot can achieve this all by itself or is other software required.

Thanks :)

I agree, this is what I want but unfortunately Audio Copy Stream doesn't mean that for DD+, DTS HD, TRUEHD or LPCM, they all get converted to FLAC. It would be nice to have the option of leaving them intact and have a Lock Size for a 25gb BD-R. Instead I'm doing the same as jtheripper, doing a video only shrink where necessary using RipBot and using TSMuxer to add the HD audio after. Not too much of a problem but just takes more time and a bit of guess work to make sure your finished file size isn't too big!

Auzentech are soon bringing out a soundcard which links to you graphics card and will then output a video/audio signal via HDMI. This will have the capability to stream HD Audio from your PC to a suitable amp. Having just bought an Onkyo TX-NR905, I can't wait.

I have backed up a couple of Blurays keeping the main movie and the lossless audio only. True that copy stream converts lossless audio but that does not matter. You can use TSMUXer after you encode the movie in ripbot. First I rip the bluray disc to my HD and then use tsmuxer to select only the main movie and lossless audio from the m2ts file. Then I demux them. , if less then 22.5GB total then you dont need to do anything else except mux them together. If it is over that (which most dual layer BD are that have lossless audio) then you need to shrink the size in ripbot. In tsmuxer you select the m2ts file you created in ripbot then uncheck the audio track and check the h.264 track . Next you open the original m2ts bluray file in tsmuxer and uncheck the h.264 file and check the lossless audio file. Then mux the 2 selected files into bluray. Works great. only problem is that it seems that there is some video stuttering sometimes in high action scenes on the ripbot encode. Probably the parameters the program uses for the encode.

Holy crapper batman! I didn't know you could do that.

Thanks, I am trying it out as we speak.

tsMuxeR

1. Open movie in tsMuxeR and check main movie, HD audio and english and click demux.
2. After demuxing, check to see if the files all add up to 22.5GB or less.
3. If files above are 22.5GB or less use Imgburn (UDF2.5) and create an image to burn.
4. If files above are 22.5 or greater then use Ripbot to re-encode m2ts file demuxed by tsMuxeR.
5. Open Ripbot264 and select m2ts and ac3 file demuxed by tsMuxeR, re-encode file's to desired size.
6. Open tsMuxeR and select the m2ts file you created in ripbot then uncheck the audio track and check the h.264 track.
7. Open the original m2ts bluray file in tsmuxer and uncheck the h.264 file and check the lossless audio file.
8. Then mux the 2 selected files into bluray.

Does that sound correct?

In job1_EncodeVideoPass1.cmd settings are
--subme 2
--me dia
--analyse none

In job1_EncodeVideoPass2.cmd settings are the final output of
--subme 6 (or whatever is set in profile)
--me umh (or whatver is set in profile)
--analyse all

I appreciate there is some evidence that a speedy first-pass using no analysis and dia motion will not dramatically affect quality. But for those of us striving (with HD-DVD/BluRay source) for quality, is there any benefit in me editing the files before running them ?

If you feel that the presets are not satisfactory you can edit them and run them separate from ripbot or write a new ini file that holds your specific presets... As far as quality is concerned if you want a lot of quality CQ22 is pretty good at maintaining as much as possible with out a overly huge file.

If your doing bitrate which it looks like you are. Most of the quality is spread about by the amount of bits selected and can result in poor or great quality dependent on source and amount of bits selected vs length of Video. Video encoding is a variable based on length and source that is why vbr encoding exists it allows a quantisizer value to use a variable instruction set to measure quality not bitrate.

A speedie first pass just breaks down the video really fast and a lot of bits of information can be lost in the process. you might as well upscale the DVD forum and encode using 1 pass. You'd get about the same quality...

Fast is good if you don't care for quality but it defeats the purpose of using HD source... If you give the processor the time to work on the file using a slow first pass you will retain a lot of the quality and the second pass can do the same...

Assuming you can't get the size below 22.5gb by just re-muxing using TSMuxer....

1. Select the demux option in TSMuxer and then tick any of the audio and subtitle streams you want to keep for your BD-25 disc. This is really just to find out what their total size is.
2. Import the main movie M2TS file into Ripbot and select NO AUDIO and NO SUBTITLES.
3. Re-encode the video only in Ripbot using the Blu-Ray option, 2-pass. Subtract the total size of the demuxed audio and subtitle stream(s) you want to keep from 22500mb (I think 23000mb should be OK, but stick to 22500mb to be on the safe side) to give you the lock size which you can overtype the presets, this should then mean that the resulting video size will be small enough to allow the addition of your demuxed audio later.
4. In properties, do automatic crop and then select Full HD in resize.
5. Add the Ripbot re-encoded blu-ray movie stream to TSMuxer and then add the earlier demuxed audio/subtitle file(s), and mux together using the Blu-Ray option.

If you did your maths right you'll have a blu-ray with original audio intact and a slightly reduced video that'll fit on a BD-25.

Hello - I apologize if this repeats an existing question, but I couldn't find an answer - every time I point the latest build of RibBot264 at any video file(s), it pauses for a minute with a demux message then pops up media player classic. Media Player Classic just says "opening..." and never does anything, although it is consuming about 25% CPU cycles.
I have the latest FFDShow build, latest AVISynth, clean Vista 32bit install. Any clues?

[Ajax_Undone]

Incorrectly ripped video... (ie still under DRM's crap spell)... What video is it???

[hdpete]

Why do you do an automatic crop in step 4?

The automatic crop is so you're not wasting time encoding the black bars at the top and bottom of the picture, then by resizing, Ripbot puts the bars back to make the image 1920x1080.

[IYG]

I just checked out the new version and there is an option "denoise"
What is it?

[dirk362]

After performing dozens of tweaks across a range of parameters against a 10 second section of HD-DVD video, I've identified "my personal preference" for settings. I will perform a longer encode now with these to confirm they work across a range of video. Settings are:-

pass1.cmd
--pass 1 --bitrate 6424 --stats "job1.stats" --level 4.1 --sar 1:1 --aud --nal-hrd --vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 30000 --filter 0,0 --bframes 16 --trellis 2 --no-fast-pskip --merange 64 --keyint 240 --min-keyint 24 --deadzone-inter 6 --deadzone-intra 4 --b-adapt 1 --b-pyramid --direct auto --subme 2 --analyse none --me dia --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim

pass2.cmd
--pass 2 --bitrate 6424 --stats "job1.stats" --level 4.1 --sar 1:1 --aud --nal-hrd --vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 30000 --filter 0,0 --ref 5 --mixed-refs --bframes 16 --trellis 2 --no-fast-pskip --merange 64 --keyint 240 --min-keyint 24 --deadzone-inter 6 --deadzone-intra 4 --deblock 1:0:0 --psy-rd 1.000000 --b-adapt 1 --b-pyramid --b-rdo --bime --weightb --direct auto --subme 7 --analyse all --8x8dct --me umh --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim

There are some weird ones in here, but they do make a difference. Obviously bitrate is calculated by disc to fit to 8150.

bframes=16 - this just allows x264 to work upto the maximum. With adaptive B-frame decision on (the default behavior), it is safe to use higher values; the encoder will reduce the use of B-frames in scenes where they would hurt compression. The encoder rarely chooses to use more than 3 or 4 B-frames, but setting it to 3 as most people do only forces the encoder to not be able to flex this value as needed.
merange=64 - significantly improves ME by checking larger radius size (64 pixels), this being the most obvious setting to introduce quality over encoding time
trellis=2 - enabled on all mode decisions for RD quantization, and this needs to be set in both passes to ensure consistent behaviour and also to keep bitrate in line
deadzone-inter=6 ) I found using these two values instead of the default of 21,11 improves
deadzone-intra=4 ) quaility (to human eye) without the macroblocking that deblock 1:-1:-1 (or lower) can introduce

True, the above increases encode time by upto 30%, but when working to fixed size 2-pass as I am, I wanted to get the best I can into the 8150Mb, and as encodes run overnight, I'm not worried it takes a bit longer.

Yes, I'm sure that cq=22 could potentially get me an overall better quality encode, but the randomness of the final filesize isn't what I'm after. Otherwise with hard disk prices as they are, I'd just do 1:1 and mux only what I want to keep as others in this thread have recently been discussing.

I am now working out how to get these into a custom .ini file that gets accepted as, unless I'm doing something wrong, some settings are overwritten by an internal process within Ripbot264.

For those interested, the attached RAR file has the output of all the commands and a comparison from media-info of the two resultant encodes.

You can look at the changes in the .avs script when selecting the option in the right window.

for denoise film selected:
FFT3DGPU(video,sigma=1.25).gradfun2db

You can google these filters if you want more specific info. There is a specific thread for each on Doom9. If you push the "preview script" button you can visually preview it

I can't say that I've noticed it, but it makes sense if you think about it. No sense in getting Ripbot to encode black bars which aren't part of the movie you're going to watch. By adding the Full HD option, the bars are put in automatically, I assume after encoding to make a Blu-Ray compliant 1080p video. Most video encoders give you the option to crop for the same reason, e.g. DIVX and Nero Recode.

If you don't mind brother, can you tell us here at the forum if this process will speed up the encoding process after you've applied these settings on your next project? Truly, I'm surprised this topic hasn't been mentioned yet.

I believe the reason people like you and I haven't used this feature is because perhaps we were afraid we would end up with an undesired aspect ratio i.e. where the movie seems to be strecthed vertically.

[daWsOn_s]

Hello,
I've upgraded to 1.50.5 from 1.8.x and now when I set a list of video to convert everytime it finishes one file it say in status "Muxing.." (anyway the file is already finished and ready to play) that lasts for ever. I have to abort and restart every file:confused:

is there anyway I can drag & drop or insert a lot of files together without choosing each one and setting the same global settings?

:confused:

It won't stretch the image, but be aware if you do this on a small clip of a film which is quite dark, the automatic setting might not pick up the difference between the black bars and the movie picture. It should normally be no more than about 140 on the top and bottom for a 2:40:1 movie. If you get any numbers to the left or right, I just manually put them back to zero, just crop the black bars at the top and bottom.

No, it does not. It can add or remove borders BEFORE you encode by changing your AVS-script. How would you ever do this after you encoded a movie, that's not possible. So, since your original has already got the propper resolution you should ignore step 4.

[Bootstrap]

ATAK, great program thanks for your hard work on it.

I think there is still a bug in the ass=>srt conversion. The markers are indeed gone but the marker for a new line is not converted to an actual new line in the srt. Lines tend to become too large because of this.

[riptorn]

I am having issues with crashing; vista seems to bluescreen mid way through the conversion... any ideas? event logs dont tell me much.

How can I update the version of x264 ripbot uses?

Everytime I try to replace the x264.exe (in the tools directory) (today I tried version 949, but I have also tried with other versions) with the latest version of the x264.exe from megui it doesn't work. When I then click on "start" to start encoding a queued project it immediately tells me "All Jobs finished" without encoding anything.

Why doesn't it work and where can I get an updated x264.exe that is working with ripbot?

Thanks

not forgetting that resizing will slow the encode down and also in this case is an unnecessary step :)

[prettyboy85712]

Looking for some direction. I'm attempting to backup a SD-DVD series to Blu-ray disc (BD5). Each disc has 4 episodes, each with subtitles. If I encode each episode as a separate job in the que, choose Blu-ray disc option and use same output path will the resulting BD5 have all 4 episodes? Or, would each job overwrite the previous resulting in just the fourth episode being on the disc?

I'm in the process of testing this, but my machine is slow by today's standards and will take most of the night/day to get the results.

Hi all Ive just started to use Ribot and have done one of my HDDVD's Waterworld and everything worked great :)

But I'm now trying to do MI3 and keep getting a small MKV file, I'm trying to convert to 720P and get a file just over 3.5 gig and bitrate is quite small too.

Is there a way that I can adjust the bitrate to a minimum or to get a desired file size?
Ive looked but can't find any obvious adjusment.

Thanks

Edit " After the file was demuxed I started out with a 17gig video file and 3.5gig flac file, have set to 720P and Ac3 640

Hi,
I have a mkv that is 1280x688 and I want it to be 1280x720 but still be a mkv.
I'm using addborders command on the avisynth scrypt, but it's taking a lot! to finish the work.

How can I add the borders fast ?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Why do you add borders???? Why do you download rips from internet???

[veggav]

Because I live in Brazil and a blu-ray here cost 100 usd.
Because, there are movies that are not out in blu-ray like shawshack redenption, that you download a hdtv that is not 720p perfect.

I just want to add a couple of pixels up and down.
There is any way to that and fast ?

Hi everybody, and especially hi to Atak Snajpera ( super program, kolego, jestem dumny, że urodziłeś się w Polsce). His application is great. I am not very proficient in all that encoding staff but I am not last in line either. I am trying to encode my BDs for my Apple Tvs. I was doing fine with DVDs and Handbrake before but now, you know, higher resolutions, different movie in every room, freedom for kids. Everything goes perfect except for limiting bit rate in ATV profile. I was reading about the profiles but I have impression even if I change the ATV profile or create new one from ATV one and put max bit rate 12000 the resulting file still ends up with 30Mb/s in its picks (Ok to be frank goes up to 19, 21 Mb/s – but still) and that makes my ATV choke(sometimes rally freezes for 20sec). Any help to make me happy. And another small question – is AC3 downmix dolby PrologicII. Will be grateful for the answer. Regards. Marek

[Atak_Snajpera]

Use 2-pass instead of CRF. 6Mbps will be ok for 720p (HQ). Buffer set to 5000 and max bitrate to 12000. Regarding audio. Multichannel audio is downmixed to plain stereo. PrologicII does not sound good on headphones and on plain speakers.

Thanks for replying. I guess with "CLI" you mean the standard distribution of x264? I did try to use that in combination with RipBot, but that failed immediately. I haven't done scripting yet. If I knew how to make the often complex command line options for x264, I wouldn't need RipBot. :)

[Bigmango]

With any of them, how do I do it ?

You can use both, but ripbot is the easiest to do it.

The only problem with ripbot is that it can't keep the original video source. Ripbot will add black borders by selecting i.ex 720 for your source in the resize options, but it shrinks the video to add the borders within the original resolution.

-> it will not output 1280x720, but add the borders inside your 1280x688 and to do this it shrinks/transforms your source.

For some strange reason Atak doesn't want to retain the original source, he prefers to modify it.

If you want to keep the original video, you can add the black borders manually in the avisynth script in the ripbot video settings tab. Add this line in the resize section:

video=AddBorders(video,00,16,00,16)

(16 = (720-688)/2)

This will add the borders and make your video 1280x720 without modifying its resolution.

Is there any way to keep the file close to the same size that you start with? I would've put it on a BD25 if it kept the same size...

Is there any way to keep the file close to the same size that you start with? I would've put it on a BD25 if it kept the same size...

:thanks::thanks:

Select 2 pass and give it the original file's size. Or you can also give it the BD25 size to fill the BD25 completely if you want to maximize quality (assuming that the source is bigger).

[Atak_Snajpera]

-> it will not output 1280x720, but add the borders inside your 1280x688 and to do this it shrinks/transforms your source.
Your movie has incorrect aspect ratio. It should be 1.85 (1280x692) not 1.86 (1280x688).

Thanks for replying. I guess with "CLI" you mean the standard distribution of x264? I did try to use that in combination with RipBot, but that failed immediately.
New builds do not accept --b-adapt 1. New version should be ready tomorrow.

[Bigmango]

Your movie has incorrect aspect ratio. It should be 1.85 (1280x692) not 1.86 (1280x688).


This is because many other encoders guis >cut< (yes cut, they don't transform the video aspect ratio) the resolutions to automatically remove the black borders. 90% of the time they make the files 1280x688 or 1280x544, with no black borders.

But still the video aspec ratio is not wrong. It's just that to other tools cut a little more or a little less from each border. In your example with (692-688)/2= 2 -> it has cut 2 pixels from the top and from the bottom. This has nothing to do with aspect ratio. The video is fine. Now just add the borders and you have a correct 1280x720.

The problem with ripbot is that it will add borders inside the 1280x688 (or 1280x544 or whatever), making the video smaller that it originally was. So ripbot is losing a lot of image information and degrades picture quality.

Why degrade the picture quality by making the video smaller?

I prefer to maximize the picture quality for the given file size and for this I want to keep the original video. Re-encoding it already loses quality, why does ripobt force us to lose even more picture quality, for nothing.

Furthermore, 1280x720 is the standard 720p resolution. Why does ripbot want to force us to keep nonstandard resolutions (1280x544, 1280x688 etc...) and even more so, to do this it also wants us to transform the video to make it smaller by adding black borders inside the video resolutions.

And finally, with such nonstandard source resolutions (they are non standard only because the borders were cut, the video still has the right aspect ratio) ripbot currently has no way to output 720p (or 1080p etc...). Yes, in this example ripbot can't output a standart 720p (or 1080p... resolution). The only way to do this with the ripbot gui is to resize it to 1280x720; this will transform the video with a completely wrong aspect ratio.

The only way to do this right is to manually add the addborders() line to the avisynth script. Unfortunately, the normal user will never know this is possible.

It would be so much easier if ripbot could give us the option to select 720p (or 480p, 1080p, ...) and just add the black borders where they are missing.


New builds do not accept --b-adapt 1. New version should be ready tomorrow.

Thats some great news. :thanks:

[Atak_Snajpera]

Yes, in this example ripbot can't output a standart 720p (or 1080p... resolution).
Yeah right... What is wrong with you man?!?! I don't give a **** what other guis do. Correct aspect ratios are 1.333 1.778 , 1.85 , 2.35 ,2.40 end of story!
You don't even realize how many avis i had with completely wrong aspect ratio?!?! That's why those profile were made in order to avoid "stretched heads" on PSP , Ipod and so on. How I am supposed to know if frame was correctly cut or not!?!?!
Next time don't write that you don't get standard HD and FullHD resolutions because that statement is not true!!!! Profiles always give STANDARD resolutions!

Why degrade the picture quality by making the video smaller?
In this case you get 1280x692(+borders) instead of ...x688(+borders). According to math first one has more active lines so it is bigger not smaller. If you re-encode illegally downloaded mkv you already should say bye bye to picture quality. Next time use original HD-DVD/Blu-Ray disc.

[Bigmango]

Again:

1. You don't understand. You are mixing up video "cutting" and "aspect ratio transformation"; these are 2 differnt things.

I am only talking about "putting the borders back where they were cut" Nothing else.

2. As you are saying, it seems you are downloading movies from the internet with a wrong aspect ratio. Thats your experience. I have also seen this sometimes, but this is not what I am talking about.

I have several personal videos and backups that were done with many other tools over the years (automkv, etc...). I never transform the aspect ratio. Many of these tools automatically cut the borders. Some tools borders detection is better, some other tools do it less precisely (the tools have also improved and changed over the years so the encoded videos can be different). This is why there is a difference in the resolutions (1280x688, 1280x692 etc...). Some tools cut more, some less. But they DONT CHANGE the aspect ratio. THEY >CUT< the video -> some of the movie border was removed or the border was not removed completely, depending on the video and the resolution.

3. If left/right was cut movie information was lost in the source, nothing can be done to get it back; if top/bottom was cut only border were removed, sometimes some lines of the video are also cut depending on the original encoder gui's border detection).

In this case ripbot doesn't improve anything. It only makes matters worse by transforming and shinking the video, losing picture information/quality in the process. Yes ripbot will also output "compressed" heads as it wrongly transforms the aspect ratio.

-> 4. What does ripbot do when I select 1280? Ripbot adds borders inside these WRONG resolutions AND TRANSFORMS my video to make it smaller. -> It loses picture information and degrades quality.

5. No, with i.ex 1280x688 or 1280x544 files, if I select 1280 hd ready or 1920 fullHD ripbot CANNOT output standart resolutions (yes if the source aspect ratio was wrong it will correct it, depending on the source; but it will not give be the standard 720p). It will not give me the standart 1280x720, it will only preserve the original 1280x688 which is not standard hd ready.

720p and 1080p are THE standards: 1280x720 and 1920x1080.

6: To answer your question : "How I am supposed to know if frame was correctly cut or not!?!?!"

You cannot know this. The user knows this when he clicks on the preview button to preview the output.

I understand you need ripbot to do it as it does now because you need to correct the movies you are downloading from the internet which have a wrong aspect ratio. That's ok, and it IS NEEDED in some cases as you rightfully say.

I am not telling you to change this. I am only asking for more options. As you can see above, there are many different kinds of videos, so we need more options. You cannot know if a video aspect ratio is right or wrong. Assuming so as ripbot does now results in a wrong output, depending on the source.

There are several ways to make this convenient : In resize, next to 1280 HD ready and 1920 Full HD, just add another option for 720p and 1080p (and 480p ?) and auto add borders to match this. Or you could also just offer a "select box" that will only add borders to match the standard resolutions without resizing the video.

(or you could also let the user decide manually in the gui how much border he wants to add .... this will still always be better than the "hidden" addborders() command line a normal user will never know exists). This decision is up to you; you decide how you want to gui to look :)

I hope this will help you to understand the problem. Again, I am sorry if I came across in a confusing way. What ripbot does now is good for bad/wrong sources. We just need more options because most of the time the aspect ratio is right. And only the user can know or chose this, so let him do so :)

Ripbot is an awesome, easy and convenient tool. I am only putting this forward to you to make it even better :)

Who told you that. Me ???? I don't think so. I used to download music clips from stage6.com not movies amigo! Those clips encoded by some idiots have very weird resolutions (Dallas Superstars - Helium.avi @ 600x384 -1.563 or Dallas Superstars - Fine day.avi @ 624x304 (2.053)

Ah, yep this is what I was thinking. I am broadly using the word movie... a clip is a small movie... :)

I agree with you, badly encoded videos are a PITA. It's a huge bandwidth and time waste downloading things that are useless due to some guy's inexperience/bad tools.

[Ajax_Undone]

You know you could just re rip and start over... If you truly made these videos from an original source (VHS, C-VHS, DVD, HD DVD, BluRay,) over the years...:p :rolleyes: There in retaining full aspect ratio and borders from source no one will force you to remove them again, and editing the avs script you can stretch and shrink the original source to your specs...

Just my own observation... Of course!!!

Just my own observation... Of course!!!

And you think I haven't thought about this? :rolleyes:

Some are backups of dvds that were scratched by the kids, they were a real PITA just to save the dvd image to the HD to try to recover what was recoverable (sometimes the recovering software even took 4-5 hours just to read 1 dvd with failing error correction). Some other dvds I don't have here with me, they are with the family, so I'd have to move them here and back, etc... just too much trouble. It's much easier just to recode what I already have as I have backed it up with maximum quality. And furthermore I have everything already backed up with advertisements removed, chosen audio and subtile languages etc.... I would waste hours or days just to back it up again. Why should I go through such a headache if everything is already here, ready to roll?

And even if I could or would do it the problem still remains. People have used these auto border cropping encoders for years now. Just go to any avs forums and you will see people enquiring about this problem everywhere.

Of course I can edit the avs script myself, that's what I do now :) It's not a problem for me (but it would still be more convenient and faster it the tool could do it without me needing to take my calculator and writing a line every time). And as I said, it's ok for people like you and me; but the normal user will never know such a feature even exists... just look at avs forums all over the web.

And anyway, the ripbot HD-ready and FullHD resolutions need to be renamed to something else (maybe just 1280 and 1920). Because now with such cropped movies it says HDready 1280x544 (or 1280x688,...) and FullHD 1920x988 (or something like this) which is a completely wrong naming. These resolutions are not FullHD or HDready. This is why I suggested to keep the current options and just add 2 (or 3: 480p, 720p, 1080p) more options for the real FullHD and HDready (which is 1280x720 and 1920x1080) which would just add the borders back (or just put a single select box to only add borders back, etc...).

[Ajax_Undone]

Well maybe Atak could probably put real time AVS and BAT editing in the app so you don't have to manually edit them, but I don't know if he is willing to do so...
I know that the profiles that are set might be inconvenient for some, but do to the fact that most people aren't doing what you are attempting. It is easier to keep them as they are...

As well as most people also don't need manual cropping, subtitles, resizing, etc... etc... So would the best be to just keep ripbot as a barebone app and let the people edit the avs script manually for everything? The question here is about making a great app even better. :)

Addborders is a very much needed feature for many situations, as well as cropping, resizing etc... are useful in certain situations.

One other user asked about addborders() 1 page ago in this thread. You can check almost all encoder tools on these forums and you will see people asking about addborders() in almost all of those threads (I know because I myself replied to many of them to help them out). You can also go on the many avs forums on the web: people need addborders().

The problem here is that ripbot aims to output blu-ray. And it claims to do it in FullHD and in HDready. The problem here is that this is not possible for many sources. What ripbot often does is it outputs exotic resolutions (depending on the source) that are not FullHD/HDready even if it wrongly claims so.

So the only way to output correct FullHD/HDready with many PC video sources is:

1. to crop the video left and right or top/bottom (losing part of the picture) and then resizing everything to the HD res

or

2. keeping the complete video and just add the black borders. This is the best option in many situations, as you maintain 100% of the source video.

Anyway, ripbot needs to be corrected or at least renamed in the resizing options because it makes wrong HD resolution claims for many sources.

If you want to make a generic encoding tool such as ripbot and want to support Blu-ray, FullHD/HDready, you need Addborders(). Period. Otherwise you just can't bring many of the videos to those standard resolutions without cropping them (-> and thus losing part of the picture) (and in this case I'm not even talking of the needed resizing that lowers quality).


Edit: Atak already went out of his way to correct videos with a wrong aspect ratio. So as he goes out of his way to support bad sources, wouldn't it be a good idea to also support good/correct sources so that they can properly be brought to the FullHD/HDready resolutions ? ;)

[Drahga]

OK, not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can convert Blu Ray discs with no problem. When I try to do HD DVD the converted video plays slow and skips and is horrible. The audio seems fine. The initial video.mkv in job1 is the same, so the issue is during the initial conversion to mkv. Am I missing a step for HD DVD? I don't think so since I can do Blu Ray fine. This on a Vista machine. I haven't tried it on XP yet.

I have converted many HDDVDs without a problem, using the same settings as Blu Ray (Blu Ray Profile -> 2 Pass -> 8150MB). The only additional step I have to do for HDDVD is that if the audio stream is EAC3 or similar I use the AC3 setting on audio and not original stream (for some reason when you use original stream in this case it creates a massive FLAC audio file, so even though I specify the mkv to be only 8150MB, it ends up being over 12GB). It appears if the audio stream is TrueHD then you can use the Original Stream option without an issue.

[dbone1026]

Question with subtitles. I am using Ripbot. On the Select Streams box I select the subtitle I want (in this case Subtitle (PGS) English). After the Remuxing is done if I select the Subtitles option on the Encoding Settings nothing is there. Any suggestions, I did the encode anyhow to see how it came out and there were no subtitles.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I have just upgraded to a quadcore pc - nice for ripbot ;-) . PC has a new install of xp sp3 with no additional codecs. Only the required ripbot files. When trying to recode anything using bepipe I get a windows error: " application failed to initialize properly Ox0000135 click ok to terminate " and the process stops. I have tried running bepipe directly from a commandline - same result. Any idea what is causing the problem and how I might fix this. Thx for any help.

I now have a problem with all bluray rencodes containing ac3 audio - being way out of sync. Bluray source with dts comes out ok but using several different versions of ripbot (including the latest) on any Bluray source with ac3 audio produces an oos movie. My old core2 duo xp didn't do this - Is it likely to be some of my PC settings or is this common with faster processors ( Q9400) ? Thx for any advice.

Thanks for the advice Atak - Uninstallled Avisynth 2.5.7 , FFDshow, Haali Media Splitter and reinstalled Avisynth 2.5.6 stable , FFDshow, Haali Media Splitter - movies are In sync now. I may be wrong but does this earlier version of Avisynth produce lower quality FIRST pass movies? Second pass is fine ,but I always check the first pass for sync errors.

[Sharktooth]

@Atak_Snajpera: Vista SP0 -> Vista RTM

@jamd1: the avs file is identical for both passes. it is possible, though, to use different settings for first and second pass to speed up the encoding. that is usually by reducing some first pass settings to lower values to have a major speed up without producing a much lower quality second pass.

[jamd1]

Atak - found alot of pixelation using 1.10.6 on SYRIANA bluray. Tested with 1.10.5 and result is fine - I will upload a sample for you that produces the worst rencode from 1080 source to a 720 target. Sample portion that is worse is of a hazy horizon.

It does not play at all with MPC-HC + Haali Media Splitter ! Tsmuxer does not see audio at all. Remuxed .m2ts by TSMuxer "works" in MPC-HC however I get alot of garbage+crash in MPC. I reckon that file has not been decrypted. That's the only explanation I have at the moment.

Should I use Tdecimate also?

Thx in advance.

Use Top Field First -> 29.97 FPS

If you spot repeated frames use Tdecimate as well.
How to spot repeated frames? Simply click preview button and rewind to credits. Then use arrows on keyboard to check if frames are duplicated.

Thank you for the advice.

When not using Tdecimate, every fifth frame was a repeat of the frame before it.

ie: frame 1 > frame 2 > frame 3> frame 4>frame 5(same as frame 4)>frame 6>frame 7>frame 8>frame 9>frame 10(same as frame 9)>...

When I switched to Tdecimate, I did not experience any repeated frames in the preview.

I suppose this is what you meant, so I will go ahead and use Tdecimate for this file unless I am mistaken.

Changed: Level 4.1 has been changed to Level 4.0 (Reason: some devices do not accept anything above Lv4.0. For example Tvix. Quality settings has not been changed! It's just cosmetic change)


ive always wondered what do these levels mean

i mainly encode for my PS3 so i know it has to be level 4.1

what is the difference between 4.1 and 5, 5.1 Unrestricted etc

will making it level 4.0 mean it wont look as good??? or something

i dont use tvix so is there anyway i can force it to use level 4.1 with 1.10.6 or should i just stick with .5

1.10.6 - ffmpeg crashes on loading file.
Copy old ffmpeg.exe from 1.10.4 to 1.10.6

Quality is the same ?

I use ripbot + my own bat ( witch i just updated to r965 techouse ) with DirectShowSource because i read "Avisource is replaced with DirectShowSource which is a lot more forgiving"

if FFmpegSource is faster i will "upgrade"

also : 2 audio tracks in the near future for ripbot ?

Quality MUST BE the same otherwise ffmpegSource would be useless!
I do not recommend DirectShowSource for .avi (XviD). Unless you like audio synchronization problems :)
I do not need 2 audio streams.

[gav1577]

@ Atak_Snajpera can we have a [SD-PAL 720x576] size in your next build please :)

[juGGaKNot]

I do not need 2 audio streams.

i do so i have to encode video with ripbot and audio + mux with the bat :)

k will upgrade to ffmpeg :D

[Atak_Snajpera]

@ Atak_Snajpera can we have a [SD-PAL 720x576] size in your next build please
Why?????

[gav1577]

Why?????

Well you have one for ntsc which adds borders which is handy why not one for pal res ?????

Hi!

When getinfo.avs starts in mpc, it never ends! Ripbot (v1.9.5.7 ,v1.10.4.7, v1.10.6.7) demuxes fine but then getinfo.avs just keeps on going, what is wrong?

I have tried to uninstall/reinstall avisynt, ffdshow and hali media splitter several times, using the versions described in this forum. I have even tried to clear the registry - no change.

Please help me!

Thank you ...

[Furiousflea]

Hi mate, thanks again for this app (I had problems a few months ago but have since used it for countless encodes with no problems)...

Anyway, I was wondering if you could implement some way to save the que of files...

I have on a few occassions loaded about 30 vids to encode with different settings and then I may need to turn the computer off half way through, or go out, or whatever?

Would be easy to do surely? Just like save the que as a file and so it can be loaded again later on?

Many thanks, keep up the good work. :)

Hi Atak,

I would like to know about tsmuxer when project done and remux audio and video track in the version 1.10.6, windows vista give me an error about the program and can't remux.

I have Windows Vista, Ultimate Edition, 32bits with an 64bits processor dual core 6400+, dual 3.0ghz. It happen on sometimes. I have 2 job, the 1rst job sucessfully remux, but the 2nd, tsmuser.exe windows offer me to Send an repport or close the program.

Windows Control was desactivated long time ago. Enough memory, 4GB DDR2 installed.

Could you help me with that?

Thanks! ps, the version 1.10.5 does the same trouble.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Make sure you have enough space on hdd. Use different partition.

version: 1.10.5

I'm backing up Harry Potter series to DVD+R DL and two of the four I processed so far came out a little too large for the DVDs (ImgBurn says HP4 is 32,768 bytes too big). I'm keeping the video (VC-1) at 1920X1080P, changing audio from "Copy Stream" to 5.1 Aften AC3 (640 or 448), and adding .srt subtitles (about 113,000 bytes). To get the size down, I reprocess with lower quality audio - 2.0 Aften on HP4. Is there a way to set the Lock Size a little smaller say 8100?

Other than this, RipBot264 is working for me. Great Program.

Use overburning option in ImgBurn !!!! 32KB is nothing or use only udf 2.60 instead of iso/joilet

[jeffy]

Use overburning option in ImgBurn !!!! 32KB is nothing or use only udf 2.60 instead of iso/joilet

Do you use it? Has it failed on you (DVD+-R/DL or SL) yet?
All the DVD burners I had from LG fail to overburn any DVD, even a little. As you can see in this older review, it just fails:

[Atak_Snajpera]

@tinman_79
Try to wait about 15 minutes :) In next version I will be using DirectShowSource instead of FFmpegSource because it takes to much time to gather simple informations from just ONE frame !!!!

I let it sit for about an hour and no change. What am I doing wrong?
show me all logs generated by eac3to. You will find them in ripbot264temp directory

[tinman_79]

You are mixing it up, Not my post :) I have run getinfo.avs over night a few times ...

thanx for the effort :)

[tinman_79]

I will try the next version :)
wich ones are the eac3to logs?

thank you!

[Atak_Snajpera]

I have run getinfo.avs over night a few times ...
why? This file is executed by avs2avi tool in order to save all necesary informations to FILE! (info.txt). Then this file used by RipBot

wich ones are the eac3to logs?
send me all .txt

[tinman_79]

Ok, I wasnt clear enough, I have let the file run throughout the night. I never stoped it. This is my problem - I never get any further than this. getinfo.avs is executed in mpc and then nothing more happens. Its never ending.

All this is done automatic, after selecting the file in the browser and after ripbot has demuxed ...

[dvd_maniac]

Has the new version with DirectShowSource been released yet?

[dvd_maniac]

Update on Transformers.
I started RipBot and imported the file containing the movie Transformers at 12:50PM.
I can see thatfiles are being created in the Temp folder but it is now 4:33PM (almost 4 hours later) and RipBot is still chugging along.
This is a Q6600 Quad core with 4GB DDR2 with a 3x320GB SATA II striped raid-0.
I ripped the file to another 2x 750GB STAT II Raid-o drive.

Why is it taking so long? What would be the bottleneck here?
Will the new DirectShowSource version fix this?

[Atak_Snajpera]

What do you see in status area? "...Gathering informations..."? or something else?

[jtheripper]

I have a similar system to yours (q6600, 4GB RAM raid 0). My q6600 is running at 3GHz. The time it takes to encode a movie varies tremendously depending on the source, how you are changing it etc. Typically it takes my PC to take a Blu-ray movie that is 1080p to a 1080p dvd9 about 7 hours. 720p is about 4 hours

[dvd_maniac]

It keeps saying Demuxing Audio Stream. But when I look in the job folder I see it ripping subtitles.
I told it not to use subtitles though.
Anyways Everytime it rips an Audio Stream or Subtitle Stream it says Demuxingh Audio Stream. Right now it is ripping Subtitle.4.Sup and info states Please Wait... Demuxing Audio Streams... 29% and going on almost 5 hours now.

almost 5 hours and I still haven't even started to encode yet. RipBot is still tryinig to import the movie.

[mikewt]

Using the latest version of Ripbot264 I encoded a 25 Hz frame rate file into 23.976 frame rate and the duration was the original length so the end was cut off the file. The frame rate conversion worked just fine if I could only get the duration to be correct, and I can find no way to set it myself. Any ideas?

Mike T

[dvd_maniac]

Transformers final update.
It finally finished, taking a total of 11hrs 44min. Funny thing is that only 3 1/2 hours were for Encoding.
Seems that it imported and processed all Streams within the M2TS file even though I only picked the one video and one audio streams with no Subs.
The final output only had the one video and one audio too, so why did it need to process all the others?
If this is normal behavior for RipBot then I guess I'll use Tsmuxer to mux together a file with just the streams I want next time.
Over all, I'm very happy with your program and want to thank you for your time and effort with it...

[~bT~]

due to adding borders by default on POD resize, it disables the ability to zoom into the picture on the ipod touch.

any chance that the POD resize profile can be edited to remove addborders() pls? thanks!

ps. i know i can do it by hand but its a tedious process when editing multiple files.

Any idea when this will be done and will it be for encoding too? I have a similar problem to Tinman in that it just sits on "...Gathering informations..." until aborted. I've also tried reinstalling ffd, haali and avisynth but no change. FFdShow is working fine in mpc and through DirectShowSource but not with FFmpegSource.

This also annoys me but not just for ipod, for dvd and HD too, I don't know why it's the default. All encodes I've seen by others remove borders on purpose, supposedly to optimise the encoder (I also prefer it that way).

Btw, IIRC setting the resize numbers manually (without combo) avoids the borders being added without having to edit - not very helpful though...

@ Atak_Snajpera can we have a [SD-PAL 720x576] size in your next build please :)
Why?????
Why not? ;) You already added it for NTSC so why should the PAL people miss out?

One thing I never could use RipBot for was DVD encodes as I want to keep them original size AND anamorphic as it makes no sense to resize 720*576 -> 1024*576.

From the changelog:
Added: SD-NTSC 720x480 profile under size options (proper sar x:y values are added automatically)

It's my understanding that the SD-NTSC profile makes this possible but only for NTSC (hence the name). Therefore, why is there not a PAL profile too? That would be a great addition as I want to encode my dvds to x264 for storage on hdd but it's too tedious to do manually or with other tools so I've left it for now.

I am using version 1.10.5.

I just bought the latest version of the iPod Touch yesterday and used Ripbot264 to encode. I selected the source set it to single pass CQ of 24. Then I Deinterlace and Decimated it. Selected Auto crop and set the size to 480x272 for resize. But when I tried to sync it with my iPod it said it would not sync because it could not be played on the iPod.

^ u need the latest version, it has a fixed ipod profile. update.
also, select POD resize option.

[weaver4]

I downloaded the latest.

The problem is that the Touch and iPhone are 480x320 not 320x240. So setting it to 320x240 (for POD) is not a good choice. And, I can not find any profile file to change the resolution.

that is not the latest version..

i haven't had any issues with resizing to 320x240. all videos display correctly.

[deets]

i have a pal 2.35 DVD, it can crop out the borders just fine, but how do i resize it to keep the max resolution? I dont want to use the PC setting as this loses too much detail for my liking :) there doesnt seem to be a setting for this, but there is for ntsc?

[weaver4]

that is not the latest version..

i haven't had any issues with resizing to 320x240. all videos display correctly.

320x240 does display correctly. But the screen resolution for the iPhone and iPod Touch are 480x320 so the picture quality is better in the native resolution.

[weaver4]

try this file
http://www.mediafire.com/?uq2hawez8fs

I downloaded the file and it played fine. But, the resolution was PSP size of 480x272 not the iPhone size of 480x320. Don't know if this video was cropped to 272 or not. I personally would like to see one of the size options be 480x320; that way 720x480 movies would fill the complete screen.

Also I tried my movie with the latest version of RipBot264 and it now plays correctly of the iPod Touch 2G.

[Atak_Snajpera]

the resolution was PSP size of 480x272
original aspect ratio was 1.85:1 so I used 480x260 resolution + AddBorders(0,6,0,6) = 480x272

I personally would like to see one of the size options be 480x320
480x320 = aspect ratio 1.5:1
Movies use 1.78 , 1.85 , 2.35 , 2.40

Therefore I see no reason to use full resolution! for example 1.78 would mean 480x270+addborders?!?! and so on
If your video is 1.333 use 427x320 resolution

[weaver4]

True, but I thought it would make it clearer. iPhones are very popular and you have listings for PSP and the smaller iPods but none for iPhone. Most consumers would not know to use the PSP size.

It looks from the pics that its not 1.10.6 but in fact 1.10.5 that the errors have occured on you need to give us more info on what you have done to get thoes errors...

The wav must be corrupted try uploading a sample...

Also 3.5.8 RC4 is not even in existance you must mean 2.5.8 RC4 downgrade to 2.5.7 and then tell us what happens..

[Sophocles]

Do you really think I'm fortune teller? This post is useless as hell!

Has anyone told you today how much your efforts are appreciated? I've done a few movies with exceptional results and I have only one failure.

King Kong, which is over 3 hours in length and to convert from HD DVD to BD. Everything was almost perfect from beginning to the end except that halfway through the movie the audio went crazy. I'm still searching for answers and I've ripped the movie 3 separate times and tried to compress it twice. I've no issues with compressing BD to BD and all other HD DVD to BD have worked.

Thanks for the effort and the several successes that I've.

I'm using .5 because of some errors in .6 ( on my pc ), it will not take any uncompressed AVI.

i have installed AviSynth 2.5 alpha - AVS 2.5.8 RC4a [080912] Last Update: Sep 12 2008, so alpha version ( because i use a .bat with r965 techouse and the new b-frame )

the sound is not a problem, i do not mux with ripbot because i use 2 sound tracks, i only encode no audio and it works perfect.

If i do a sample with just one soundtrack i just render mp3 from vegas.

so i cant realy be more happy with the program.

Just in case i didn't say it before GREAT JOB

LE : or on big projects i just render the 2 tracks MP3 and change the audio and mux .bat files, should work.

[JungleBoy]

Some suggestions:
1) Make the text more readable - instead of grey on white, use black on white, or white on black and use a slightly bigger font size.
2) Kick the x264.exe off in low priority to allow the Windows user interface to carry on working.
Thanks for a great little program.

1 : yes, it is unreadable

2 you have a "low priority" box there :)

[Ajax_Undone]

You know if you use search you will find out that the colour will not change just because you want it too.. Atak has said on several occasions that his app is not a christmas tree...

[JungleBoy]

Oh yes, I see it now - perhaps it was the grey on white text that made it difficult to see. Black on White would be easier or White on Black - for us decrepid old people.

[asarian]

I wonder, is it possible to do a true lossless encoding yet? For instance, I have a 'Kill Bill 1' H264 file here, that I like to encode subtitles in (my Japanese isn't all that good, LOL). RipBot264 has proven perfect for adding subtitles, but I hate to lose extra quality; so I'd rather just re-use the existing stream.

[Ajax_Undone]

Oh yes, I see it now - perhaps it was the grey on white text that made it difficult to see. Black on White would be easier or White on Black - for us decrepid old people.

In order to make the app black on white he would need to go through almost 120 bmp files and change the colour manualy!!! I wouldn't do it!!! I don't think he's would either...

Sorry I think you are out of luck on the colour change...

Any idea how to increase the video quality, I'm using 2-pass and set my bitrate to 300. I compared with Bencos (mencoder GUI), and the quality is better than ripbot (using same bitrate). I like using ripbot because it easy to use and I can do hardsub.

Use CQ (22) instead of 2-pass with extremely low bitrate. 300kbps are you insane?!?!

True :) Have you counted them all ? :)

I wonder, is it possible to do a true lossless encoding yet? For instance, I have a 'Kill Bill 1' H264 file here, that I like to encode subtitles in (my Japanese isn't all that good, LOL). RipBot264 has proven perfect for adding subtitles, but I hate to lose extra quality; so I'd rather just re-use the existing stream.
lossless encoding means HUUUUUUUUUUGE file size.

No lucky guess though:) I figured I was exaggerating:rolleyes:...

[mmmmdonut]

Got a 264 level question. I pulled down a few of the free HD TV Shows off of iTunes and poking around using mediainfo I saw they were encoded using 3.1 level. For the aTV setting in RB264 is there any benefit using the 3.1 level over the 3.0 level? Glancing through the h264 wiki it looks like the 3.1 level allows more macroblocks/sec and higher bit rate but in terms of what the aTV can actually handle I dont see a benefit but being a curious individual figured I would throw it out to you experts for an answer.

Cheers.

[zirkov]

I encode for make the video size smaller ^_^ that's why usually I'm using 300 bitrate. Btw any idea how to make DENOISE option work ? I tried for my anime video but it wont encode, I got this error log :

avis [error]: unsupported input format (DIB )
x264 [error]: could not open input file 'C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\job1.avs'

I just used RipBot to convert Monsters, Inc from 1440x1040 25 fps to 1920x1080 23.976 fps...it looks & plays smooth, but the audio is way off...is there an easy way to convert a .dts or .ac3 stream that's 25 fps to 23.976 fps? Is there a guide to doing this?

:thanks::thanks:

You forgot to change option under a/v same length to STRETCH

Btw any idea how to make DENOISE option work ?
You need GFX card with pixel shader 2.0 or higher. It works on my Laptop (Radeon x700 128MB). It worked on my old Radeon 1950 256 MB and now it also works on my brand new Radeon 4850 512MB. So as you can see I had no problems with FFT3DGPU plugin.

For the aTV setting in RB264 is there any benefit using the 3.1 level over the 3.0 level?
there is no benefit at all. it is just an information written into video stream. Nothing more.

Thanks you, its worked fine right now. Btw its okay to change for latest x264.exe ?

Okay, thanks. Got another problem, though: the AddBorders command is a no-go. I added this to the Preview script:

AddBorders(0, 32, 0, 248)

(on a 1920:800p stream). That should give me a nice 1080p resolution, right? Only when I click 'preview', I keep getting this error:

"invalid arguments to function AddBorders"

Any idea what might be causing it?

EDIT: Never mind, solved it. I had forgotten the source.

video=AddBorders(video, 0, 32, 0, 248)

Does the trick.

Actually, he's not wrong at all: the 'near-white on white' color-scheme gives it a fancy look perhaps, but makes things hardly legible. And before you ask, yes, I have a very good LCD monitor. If someone offers to change it for him, then the true waste, way I see it, is not taking him up on his offer.

I have 19" LG Flatron L194WT-SF (mat) connected via DVI
http://img.ktr.pl/m/monlgl194wtsf/sb.jpg

I see all font without any problems. End of story.

Those small fonts have gray color (R:160;G:160;B:160) so as you can see these values are still far away from white (R:255;G:255;B:255). Therefore you should see them quite easily.

[juGGaKNot]

I know this has been talked about before, but I couldn't find it. I would like to keep 2 audio tracks for one of my bluray's. The first one is french w/ english sub's and the other is the english audio. Is there any way to do that with ripbot or should I hard encode the french audio w/ english subs w/ ripbot and use tsmuxer to add the english audio?

Thanks

no audio in Ripbot + mkvtoolnix 2.3.0 for the audio tracks is what i do.

I asked atak, there will be no "2 audio tracks" in ripbot

the other way ( might crash ripbot ) edit the audio.bat and mux.bat after adding a job.

I'm trying to convert my copy of equilibrium from hddvd to bluray. For some reason when I put it into ripbot a horn blows and says there is only 450 frames.

[malgates]

Hi,

i converted one of my HD DVDS to an MKV with this tutorial:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=137128 Sektion 3.

So I got a MKV File with 2 Audio Stream and thougt "why not convert it with ripbot?". So I converted them to Bluray. I selected 2 Pass encoding with 8048 Mbits and the Playstation 3 Profile. After 12 hours of encoding I got a Blu-Ray Folder with a M2TS Stream with 800 MB. How is that possible? Did I do s.th. wrong? I am trying it again right now with a fixed size of 8500 MB. Hopefully that will work.

Can anyone give me a hint?

Regards

[zeus163]

I seem to be having the same problem as others did a few pages back where ripbot appears to hang and do nothing after selecting a file. I've ripped my blu-ray Spiderwick Chronicles with AnyDVD. I then select the m2ts file and ripbot starts it's magic. It shows it demuxing video and then audio and even subtitles and then it just sits there and my only options are to abort or select another file. This process ran over night and nothing came up for me to select, specifically the blu-ray option. So, I started again before work and when I got home the same thing was going on--nothing.

I just put together a new machine especially for taking my blu-ray collection and converting them to avhc DVD's and now I'm stuck. It worked on my old machine, but 40 hours is way too long. Any ideas?

OK, nevermind, I figured out my problem. I recently re-installed my OS and copied the wrong plug-ins folder to my avisynth directory. One of the two I keep backed up causes avisynth to crash. Got it taken care of last night and the two pass encode was done when I got up this morning. Much faster than my 40 hours before.

[juGGaKNot]

Dont know why but now i get a stream error in the middle of the video, i preview the script in ripbot and its all k, all frames are there, also i can play the entire uncompressed video fine but when i render only half is the video, the rest this :

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll105/juGGaKNot4cs/aaaaaaaaa00210918-48-35.jpg

i have RipBot264v1.10.6 with

Avisynth_257
latest matroska splitter
and ffdshow_beta5_rev2033_20080705_clsid

LE : problem solved BUT

The main reason why i had the problem was :

DENOISE!

I wanted to show someone that ripbot has this filter so i went there and i chose film, then anime, then NONE

after this 3 bad encodes, so i chose NONE again and i have no problem now.

this i think was the problem.

[irritant4]

I have read most of this thread but haven't come across anyone else running into the same problem.

I am ripping BluRay to HD then using RB to "shrink" a 25GB+ movie to fit onto a 25GB single layer BD-R. RB does an excellent job re-encoding.

The problem is visible on all of my test encodes. Playback is not smooth. It looks as if it is dropping a single frame at regular intervals. This creates a very visible jerky playback in high motion scenes. I have tried several different RB configurations. CQ and 2-Pass yield the same results as far as rough playback. Everything else is perfect.

I would really appreciate some advice on this. This is the only problem that is preventing perfect backups.

[Atak_Snajpera]

how do you watch your backups?

[irritant4]

I watch all of my BD-R on a set top stand-alone BR player. I don't watch any on PCs.

[Atak_Snajpera]

What model do you have? Did you upgrade firmware? Could you also rip to DVD-DL (8150MB) or use lower bitrate something like 8192 kbps.

[irritant4]

I have a Philips BDP9000 with upgraded firmware. It really does look like it's missing a frame or it's doing some unnecessary blend(?) during the re-encode. The skipping/framedrop is completely consistent and doesn't appear to be a buffer issue. If it means anything, retail discs that can be simply remuxed to 25GB BD-R play perfectly on this player. I never tried a DVD-DL

[Atak_Snajpera]

I'm trying to convert mkv files to mp4 using Ripbot.

After I load the video into ripbot, I select subtitles->"+"->"subtitle_1.srt(in the temp/job1 folder)

I label it english, and I see that the preview is what it's supposed to be.

I proceed to convert to mp4, but the output file doesn't have any subtitles.

Any help?

[Shirokuu]

Atak_Snajpera, you did a wonderful job with RipBot264! I've only recently discovered your conversion tool when looking for a nifty app that could convert anime fansubs to my iPhone 3G. It does the trick perfectly. Thank you, thank you! :) Long roadtrips aren't boring anymore.

im having the exact same issue, i realize the subtitles should be embedded into the mp4 but i cannot seem to get the subtitles to display, am i missing something here?, do i need to use a certain player in order to view subtitles? (currently using win media player). ive also noticed that the preview showing the content of the subtitles doesnt change if you have multiple jobs queued, for example if you set a job to encode, and then add a second job you can then see the two temporary "job" folders (job1, job2) if you then choose either folder the content of the subtitle seems to be the same, possible a bug i dunno?.

on another note i would just like to say a massive thanks to the author of this app, it really is fantastic!, standalone, reasonably quick and superb results, i couldnt be more impressed!.

cheers.

Here's a sample from Transformers retail Blu-Ray
Question: Original sample should be in .m2ts so why did you remux that to transport stream????
The easiest way to rip Blu-Ray is:
1) install and execute AnyDVD HD
2) select any .m2ts file directly in RipBot264

I ripped to HD first with AnyDVDHD. Then I opened RB. RB did the remuxing on it's own *shrug*. I have a bunch of rips on HD already. What's the steps when it's already ripped?

Hi,

I finally managed to encode it correct. Only problem I still have is that it takes too long. I have a AMD X2 3800+ and it takes 20 hours to encode the video. Is this nomal? I am Using 2Pass Encoding. This is slower I know.

2nd Problem: How can I add another Audiotrack? It only picks one Audio Track. Can I Mux it to the video afterwards?

[Globerex]

Very nice GUI. Thanks for that.

Hopefully this wasn't ask bevor. I didn't find such a questiion via forum search and i denid to read 127 pages :D So please don't be angry if it is a FAQ:

Is it possible to implement an automatic interlace detection which can be switch on / off?
Maybe it is possible to implement a feature that allows to apply all settings including the AVS one's to a bunch of files? This might be usful to convert a set of DVB recodings which have all same quality, interlace and other settings.

At the moment i have here more the 30 Simpsons :D episodes and i have to apply all the settings to each of it to build my job queue for all of them.

automatic interlace detection would be easy to add (via MediaInfo for example) however from experience I know that it may cause some problems. I have few streams which are detected as interlace but in fact they are progressive (or progressive instead of interlace). That's why I prefer to just use my eyes.

How can you convert a HD dvd to bluray with ripbot? Which file do you have to add?

I select main1.evo and ripbot will give you the option to select both files with chapters, audio and subs. It then will demux it and convert it with your options.

[richarddd]

If I have a DVD with subs, how do I include the subs in the file output by RipBot?
Use vobsub to create a .sub file, then point to that file using the subtitle part of the properties page.

I did some test encodes with a few 5 minute or so clips. cq21 or cq22 tended to be much larger than 512 (in one case, cq22 was about the same size). In every case, quality was proportional to file size - bigger was better. I watched on PC, not on the Touch

Does this mean 1.10.8 when you have free time ?

[Paddy97]

The new version is a blast! Dear Atak_Snajpera, just as an update. I've had problems with audio sync issues with some Disney Blurays with the older versions. The new .7 version works flawlessly with no sync issues at all! Might have been the updated DGAVCDec or something else you did, it doesn't matter since its flawless now.

Thanks for all your time and effort into this wonderfull tool!

[pOpY]

Thanks for the Update. I will test it in the next days.

@Atak_Snajpera: It is possible to change RipBot264 that it doesnt demux the streams first. It took a while to demux it and after that i can make my settings. It is possible to change this that the demuxing process starts if the job queue is started??

Thanks for this great tool

@ Atak_Snajpera Thanks for the excellent work much appreciated :thanks:

[laserfan]

The new version has inspired me to try RipBot264, but I have a question: What profile should be used to create a BD5 or BD9?

It looks to me like the two (provided) BD profiles differ by Trellis and Bitrate, but I thought that creation of the BR structure onto a DVD-5 or -9 required bitrates of 20Mbps or less??? :confused:

[malgates]

Hi,

I'm encoding HD DVDs. I don't want to encode with 2pass. I want to encode with 1pass. But which quality should I use? I used CQ 22. But the video file is only 600MB. I want the best Quality possible.

Regards

Nope. Too many things depend on demuxed audio. File size , duration , number of channels and so on.

New DGAVCDec and new eac3to probably fixed your problems. I've just updated those tools :)

What? There is only one profile Level 4.0 HD . BluRay . Consoles . This is the most compatible profile which you can get for HD (DXVA , XBOX360 , PS3 , ... , BluRay)

I'm encoding HD DVDs. I don't want to encode with 2pass. I want to encode with 1pass. But which quality should I use? I used CQ 22. But the video file is only 600MB. I want the best Quality possible.
1920x1080@23.976fps squeezed into 600MB?!?!!? At CRF 22?!?!?!?! it's rather impossible. CRF22 should give you average bitrate around 12Mbps! You better show me Jobx_log.txt

Does this mean 1.10.8 when you have free time ?
Perhaps :)

[Ajax_Undone]

It looks to me like the two (provided) BD profiles differ by Trellis and Bitrate, but I thought that creation of the BR structure onto a DVD-5 or -9 required bitrates of 20Mbps or less???

What? There is only one profile Level 4.0 HD . BluRay . Consoles . This is the most compatible profile which you can get for HD (DXVA , XBOX360 , PS3 , ... , BluRay)

that might be my fault the updater & installer dont delete the old profiles in the profiles folder do to concerns of people making customized settings in them..

So the option is always there to delete the extras manually... How ever profiles of the same name as the old ones they will over right them just for forward compatibility with later versions of ripbot... such as the comment about b-rdo being removed... Now as that I have not studied the effects of x.264 cmd line vs the profiles because of time restraints it gets a little frustrating having to pick and choose so I am deeply sorry...

[Paddy97]

With the .7 version i get fully in sync BD rips from my Disney BDs. But now I have started to recieve reboots with my Tvix 6500 player with the files created from Ripbot.

I have two tvix boxes with different firmware in them. One reboots with the files created and the other stutters heavily.

I am using the level 4.0 profile that I've allways used to create MKV files for my tvix from bluray discs. I have used both CQ mode and 2-pass but both creates files that my tvixes have problems with. Any idea where to start looking? The files playes OK on my PC with for instance videolan and coreavc so I have no clue where to start.

Did you have the same problem with previous version?

[juGGaKNot]

question : now output is AVC1 and not h.264

DXVA still works, just want to now why :)

also, is the x264 patched with x264_hrd_pulldown.09_interlace.diff ?

my footage is progresive, is there any way to remove this from the cfg ? should i remove it or if the footage is not interlaced is does not do anything ?

[Atak_Snajpera]

question : now output is AVC1 and not h.264
AVC1 = h.264 . Somebody made cosmetic change. FFDSHOW guys or x264 team? Frankly I don't care

also, is the x264 patched with x264_hrd_pulldown.09_interlace.diff ?
yes.

my footage is progresive, is there any way to remove this from the cfg ? should i remove it or if the footage is not interlaced is does not do anything ?
You don't have to do anything!

THNX for your hard work, waiting for 1.10.8 with "new" x264 configuration.

I have one small feature request.

If you select to resize to PSP resolution Ripbot264 always resizes to a vertival resolution of 270 and adds a border of 2 lines (eg. with a 4/3 video it resizes to 360*270 and adds borders in the vertical and horizontal direction). I hope you can change it to 272 and fill the vertical resolution fully (changing it by hand every time is annoying).
Example of an Ripbot avs file:
video=Spline36Resize(video,360,270).Sharpen(0.2).AddBorders(60,0,60,2)


In addition it would be great if it would resize 16:9 matierial to the full native resolution at 480*272 and not to 480*270 and 2 black lines because it is better compressible that way and the aspect ratio error will only be about 1,3% .

PSP always removes two bottom lines if resolution is 480x272!

[pOpY]

Nope. Too many things depend on demuxed audio. File size , duration , number of channels and so on.


Ok, but i am using just "lock size" feature, so if i can set my settings before demuxing audio it would be great. You can just analyse the audio & video stream and then let me take my options!?!?

Please?!?!

I which programming language did you write this app?

Did you have the same problem with previous version?

I have just redone the encode of the same BD with the .6 version and ran it through my both tvixes (whole movie). Works flawlessly apart from the audio sync problem. So this was introduced in the .7 version.

Just for fun I have now taken the dgavcdec from .7 and i'm using it in the .6 version and doing another encode to see if I get an in sync version that works with tvix. Sorry to say it did not fix the sync issues so it is something else that is the magic pill.

[Rumbah]

Sorry, didn't know that. And I just tested and it seems that x264 has no problem with such small borders, I could not see any difference or increase in filesize.

[laserfan]

I've uninstalled & re-installed 1.10.7 and although I've had success in the past using x264 from the command line (in c:\program files\x264), with RipBot264 the process crashes (twice) when attempting to execute the x264 .cmd (once for each of 2 passes I presume). The only thing I note that's different, apart from that the cmds are attempting to execute from x264's subfolder, is that there's a dll in the x264 subfolder which I'd not seen before (maybe because I was using an older build of x264, I dunno). The dll is mentioned in the crash report.

Yes I know this is a crappy post, and I need to do more t-shooting and provide better error reporting, but I'm hoping someone knows a simple answer, or something obvious for me to check. Are there for example some pre-requisite MS libraries I need to have installed for x264? The next thing I am going to try I guess is to edit the .cmd's that RipBot has created to use the x264 installed at c:\program files\x264. Any other ideas? :confused:

[binhex]

hi i have been playing around with setting the default values for the video to 2-pass and settings the bitrate by defining this in the ini file, is it possible to set the bitrate for the audio as well using the ini file?, if not could this be added as a feature request :-).

cheers,

p.s many thanks for replying to my previous post :-)

This thread is amazing, and it seems the application is too!
I have a question. I have a media server, and my standard method of ripping a dvd (movie only) to it has been less than sucessful lately, due to some wierdness in the dvd's.

I need to:
1 - rip the main title only (been using Anydvd + shrink for this)
2 - convert the file to a specific bitrate mpg.

I've been doing the transcode using VLC, but there is something odd happening. The VLC command line is quite straight forward... but somehow the single VOB created by shrink, while the right size, is not being seen correctly? middle of the movie missing sometimes, or even stopping 50 minutes in to a 2 hour movie...

start "Converting with VLC.EXE" /BelowNormal /b /wait %VLCPath% -vvv "%~1" --sout "#transcode{vcodec=mpgv,vb=7413,scale=1,width=720,height=400,fps=29.97,paddtop=40,paddbottom=40,acodec=mpga,ab=192,samplerate=48000,channels=2,equalizer-preamp=20}":standard{url="%~dpn1.DVD.mpeg"} --aspect-ratio=4:3 --sout-ffmpeg-keyint=16 --sout-ffmpeg-strict-rc vlc:quit


Can someone outline how I could accomplish my task using this program? OH, and are there other skins? I can't read the white on lightblue concept...

Yeah this is what I got for an answer long ago...:rolleyes:

[weaver4]

I encode a movie using RB and the "[ level 4.0 ] HD . BluRay . Consoles" profile, I have it set to 1-Pass with a CQ of 22. The filesize was larger than I expected so I tested it with some other programs. The video parameters of all the movies are 640x272, cq of 22, boarders are cropped. I used mediainfo on the video file when complete to verify the audio files are the same. Here are the files sizes with different tools.

RipBot264 = 950k
StaxRip = 591k
MeGui = 597k
Mpeg Mediator = 589k

I then took and made a iPhone Video with the same tools with a width of 480 and CQ=24 and size was roughly equal between all four programs. Size was about 445k

So I am thinking that something may be wrong with the "[ level 4.0 ] HD . BluRay . Consoles" profile.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I'm sorry, the file sizes were Meg not Kilo so the RipBot264 file was 950M.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I would need exact command line used by other guis.
UPDATE: I've just made test with MeGUI and I got the same file size .

[weaver4]

I changed the profile from:TrellisQuant=1 to TrellisQuant=0 and the filesize went to 662M; so it is getting closer.

Here is the x264 command from StaxRip. (I noticed that trellis=1 on this command line, so I don't think my change above was legit.)

[weaver4]

UPDATE: I re-encoded a movie that I did with ribbot264 in Mid Aug. The filesize in Mid Aug was 514M (don't know what version of RB that was) and the same movies encoded with the latest RB is 797M. This is done with the same vob files. Both are CQ of 22 with resolution of 640x272; using the Console profile.

commit 173b40c276ee187de31ef630fd207a62de1b2cc7 r968
Author: Jason Garrett-Glaser <darkshikari@gmail.com>
Date: Sat Sep 13 14:03:12 2008 -0700

Move adaptive quantization to before ratecontrol, eliminate qcomp bias
This change improves VBV accuracy and improves bit distribution in CRF and 2pass.
Instead of being applied after ratecontrol, AQ becomes part of the complexity measure that ratecontrol uses.
This allows for modularity for changes to AQ; a new AQ algorithm can be introduced simply by introducing a new aq_mode and a corresponding if in adaptive_quant_frame.
This also allows quantizer field smoothing, since quantizers are calculated beofrehand rather during encoding.
Since there is no more reason for it, aq_mode 1 is removed. The new mode 1 is in a sense a merger of the old modes 1 and 2.
WARNING: This change redefines CRF when using AQ, so output bitrate for a given CRF may be significantly different from before this change!

That makes it about useless to me. I know that CQ=22 was good enough for me, I have no idea what new number to use now.

That makes it about useless to me. I know that CQ=22 was good enough for me, I have no idea what new number to use now.Stick with the same unless you have good reason not to.

Some videos got larger at the same CRF, some got smaller, others stayed the same. On average, things stayed the same.

My computer does this very slow. Pass 1 is 4-5 fps speed. Pass 2 is less than 2 fps. I have it low priority but it would be good to be able to switch it off without having to start again.

Also, a pause button would be good so I can do other things then carry on.

The ability to select a single layer or double layer like in 2 pass mode but in 1 pass CQ mode.

I wonder if this is possibe.

To have a save progress/project so someone could do encoding, save what I have done so far and turn off the computer then carry on the next day.

[weaver4]

I encoded six movies with the latest version using CQ=22 and Console profile.

All six movies were 20 to 35% larger than the same movies encoded with the last version with the same settings. But it could be the movies I picked.

Through some testing I found that CQ=24 created a size result of approx the same as the old CQ=22. Anyone know how the quality would compare of today's CQ=24 vs the previous CQ=22. It is all about filesize vs quality.

[chainring]

Hi Atak_Snajpera,

I just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with RipBot264. The interface is so amazingly clean, but functional when you need access to more advance options.

Once question related to the recent x264 changes. When do you expect to have a version with the changes implemented for those announced here? (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=141569)

Thanks!

I recommand you to select 2-Pass and lock size of you exportation. CQ = Constant Quality so it's normal that you will all the time oversize. Choose 2-Pass.

If you track is DTS or DTS-HD, set to this:
DVD5 4450
DVD9 8050
All my project done with DTS, DTS-HD oversize if you set 4470 and 8150.

No, I want to use CQ. My point is that a CQ=22 is a much larger filesize than a CQ=22 a few months ago. I want a good quality picture with a minimal filesize, I use to be happy with CQ=22 but now the filesize is bigger than it needs to be.

And my questions are:
> Is CQ=22 now a better picture than CQ=22 of a few months ago?
> And if I was happy with a CQ=22 before what value should I be using for CQ now.

Maybe this is a question I should be asking on the X264 forum.

Hi,

posted it already as a seperate topic but no answers.

I used RipBot264 to reencode my HDDVDs. But unfortunately it only supports 1 audiostream.

So I added a second ac3 stream (encoded it with eac3to) but neither PowerDVD nor my PS3 will recognise the second stream. But VLC will recognise and play it. I used the tsmuxer to add the stream.

did I do s.th. wrong? Maybe someone can help me.

Doesn't work in XP. It tries to go into hibernation but doesn't fully get there and is left with the hdd light going like mad. I had to switch the computer off and on again to get it working again.

I still think this is a amazing bit of software. I managed to get a 18GB Blu Ray down to fit on a single layer DVD with its DD 5.1 audio and it looked amazing even when shown at 80". I resized it down to 720p.

I found the Blu Ray to DVD software just too confusing and found this GUI to be a godsend. It is just a shame that the fps speed is slow on my pc spec. Would it be faster using dual or quad core?

Apart from a pause button which I could make use off. I thought of something else. How about the pc storing details of files put through Ripbot so when I open the same file it doesn't have to scan the file a second time. It can take 20 minutes to do it. It could go straight to demuxing the audio.

[Wishbringer]

My point is that a CQ=22 is a much larger filesize than a CQ=22 a few months ago.
Right, and it is still changing in next builds. Search for DS comments about AQ.

Is CQ=22 now a better picture than CQ=22 of a few months ago?
What do you mean with "better"?! It's subjectiv, it uses another method to determine whats good. It preserves more noise and grain and so looks more natural than flatened and smoothed videos.

Maybe this is a question I should be asking on the X264 forum.
Yep, it isn't RipBot related, it's related to x264 development changes

[Atak_Snajpera]

Doesn't work in XP.
Hahaha. So Vista is not so bad after all :)

Would it be faster using dual or quad core?

I also tried a double layer version at 7.90GB but it stuttered(although the audio was ok and in sync). I think it has too high bitrate for AVCHD to cope although it is still only around 8Mbps.

x264 lossless, aka High 4:4:4 Predictive Profile, is not DXVA-compliant.

[~bT~]

x264 crashing on every encode (1.10.8).

system:

vista x86
Q6600 (not over clocked)

EDIT:

my file was corrupt.

[Wishbringer]

@~bT~:
Did yesterday and today on three systems 12 encodes together (each four): Source BluRay, Dest: 8.5GB DVD - AVCHD

All are Vista Ultimate 64bit, 8GB DDR2-1066, Q6600/Q6700 overclocked to 3.6 GHz and Raid5 with 4 Samsung 1TB HDDs.
No crashes, all encodes are fine.

UAC is disabled! (maybe a reason)
Maybe because 32bit? I doubt!
Maybe instable ram or mainboard? (not allways OC is reason for instable systems)

[~bT~]

^ all is OK here. i didn't realise my file was corrupt. thanks for response.

Sorry to report that the Tvix bug is not resolved in the .8 version. Same symptom as the .7 version. One tvix with older firmware reboots and the one with never firmware stutters severly.

The encode done from a Bluray disc and the funny thing is that the raw m2ts file plays fine on the tvixes.

I am now running an encode at 24000 maxbitrate (edited the cmd files ) to see if the problem persists.

[brogan]

Hello,

I have been trying to re-encode a file & RipBot gets through the 1st pass but just hangs afterwards...it will just say: Pass 1...
and never start Pass 2...this has happened while trying to re-encode a file that's like 8.25 GB in size & I'm trying to shrink to 7.95GB in Blu-ray structure to fit on a DL DVD...the video is H.264 (1920x1080, 23.976 fps) & the audio is DTS (768 kbps)
I've tried a .mkv, .ts, .m2ts extensions of the same file w/the same result...the files play fine in VLC, Nero Showtime & WMPC...I've been using RipBot 1.10.7 on a Vista Ultimate 64-bit system & haven't had any problems w/similar files...does anyone have any ideas what could be the problem?? Thanks in advance...

I have the same issue with my other system which is a P4 WinXP w/SP2. The only difference is I can run 1.10.6. Any version higher than .6 crashes immediately upon encoding.

Which Tvix model(s) are you using?

I have two HD M-6500A. Both are v2 models ( the ones that tvix have updated with heatsinks and such ). I use one for my home cinema with a 108" screen and projector and one for my old fat TV.
One I keep at the last stable firmware ( home cinema ) and the one for the TV I keep up with the latest beta firmwares just to see if they work.

[Paddy97]

Last try with the .8 profiles. With these settings ( after reading another thread at doom9 about safe limits for limited hardware ) and truning of bpyramid. The problem persists with the tvix as a player.

BufferSize=14745
MaxBitrate=17500

I am using .6 version successfully but I have one Disney Bluray that this one do not handle successfully so I am very keen on finding the problem with the .7 and .8 releases.

I have found that my crashing problem is owing to Atak's using a build of x264 for core2 computers, and then specifically it doesn't like the --nal-hrd option. If I use a build optimized for my P4 computer (found in this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1155803#post1155803)) then everything works!

EDIT: According to at least this post from Sharktooth (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1155803#post1155803) and this post from LoRd_MuldeR (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1194136#post1194136) using an x264 build made for core2 CPUs and above does not enhance speed and thus unnecessarily reduces compatibility.

[brogan]

If I have a 1920x800 file & just want to keep that resolution w/out stretching the video, is there a line I can add in .avs script to to just add the black bars (add borders)?
Some of the videos that I've converted have looked a little too stretched, it's a little distracting :(

Near the "remaining time" box there should be a "elapsed time" box.

Or a log at the end with "total encoding time"

Has anyone had any luck using Ripbot for the Popcorn Hour.

I select the Level 4.0 profile and cq22 and the resulting file won't play, when i select it ,it just goes back to the menu

On a side note i have questions about the cq 22

i did Baby Mama with cq22 and resized to 720x384 and the file ended up being only 750mb with a bitrate of 700 , does this seem correct.

i also tried Transformers HD at 1280x720 (just cut a 20 second clip to test) and the result is bitrate of around 5000 but when played on 50" tv it does not look that good

Well, here's something funny. I just installed RipBot264v1.10.zip (30MB)
from http://www.videohelp.com/tools/RipBot264?oldversions=1#download

What I will try next is copying the updated version files out of the archive to the ripbot directory and see if the new one works.

How do subtitles work with this software? I wanted to do Fearless which would need subs as it has Chinese audio. It found the subtitles in the select stream bit but it wantesd SRT subs and not sup. I would thought it would use SUP format if it detects it in the first place. I was hoping the burned in subtitle bit would make the subs part of the picuture.

[mmmmdonut]

I use supread for HD DVD titles and it works great. Havent found a good tool for Blu-ray titles. Suprip seems like it does the trick but havent had the chance to really test it yet. Both tools will convert sup to srt.

I have supread and suprip but doesn't work with the demuxed sup file. Suprip liked Blu Ray but it takes a long time to OCR as it can't do a line without quering something during the OCR.

I was hoping that the ripbot program automatically works with the evo file as it detects the subtitles. Why detect them if they cannot be used?

It CAN....

Subrip is great, its just rubbish for the first few mins of the film. Its LEARNING as you go so it needs less and less help as it goes. You will have to type the odd letter by about 30 mins in and by 45 mins it will pretty much do everything itself with maybe 2-3 more letters needed for the WHOLE 2nd half of the film...

I would hazard a guess that you haven't even tried to do the whole film with it and gave up after a few lines ;)

It took me about 5 mins each to do the jap version of "Ring" and its sequel\prequel - If you can't be bothered with that, I'd suggest not getting out of bed in the morning either. But I'm sure you weren't aware it gets easier :)

Ah ok, seems abit strange. Didn't mean to be rude before in my post hope it didn't come across like that :)

Maybe your disc is a one off, might be worth trying another just to see. I found that it worked much like speech recognition software\OCR software where it "learns". So if it comes across something you've already confirmed as being a certain letter it will remember it?

Hmmmm.

Doesn't lOOk like RipBot is 64bit (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1173361&highlight=Vista+x64#post1173361)

[Ajax_Undone]

RipBot is a 32bit front end to multiple 32bit projects all it does is consolidate them to a simple solution for people who don't like to use a multi interface technique to encode a simple video stream...

It was made 32bit for compatibility for internal tools as well as external codecs. A 64 bit interface would not be smart for another good reason. Most ""buy it and your done"" PC's out there are running a 32bit windows xp/vista interface meaning with it being 32 bit it is compatible with all of those who wish to use it even people with 64 bit windows...


The Q6600 is possibly the best Intel processor for use with the x264 codec because it has a great instruction set that just flows like water...

As for windows 64bit The creator of ripbot runs vista 64bit and has not had any issue with speed or compatibility...

How to deinterlace a normal 29.97fps NTSC DVD properly with ripbot264?

Choose both "deinterlace to 59.97fps (top field first)" and "decimate to 23.976fps" ?

I guess the AssumeFPS setting is not needed?

No, not reliably anyway.

If it was possible then people wouldn't use 2 pass encoding would they!

It *could* be implemented by encoding small portions of the movie at various points = predict final output size...

In fact you could do it yourself, cut up your movie into chunks and use common sense to get to the result.

As it should be... Although I would use top field first 29.97 Dec to 23.976 just to cut down on the number of frames and the size of the file.
You will not notice any difference in video quality...

The 59.97 frame De interlace setting is for HD and Bluray DVD's... DvD's In general will not have anything more then 30FPS...

A couple of comments.

Has anyone had problems with no fast forward or rewind?

I created a m2ts file from a Blu Ray with the original video and one audio track. I did this through tsmuxer. I then ran it through ripbot using 2 passes and down to a single layer DVD. I then burn the BDMV folder to a DVD using Imgburn. I then play it in my Sony S350 as a AVCHD disc. Sound and picture is great. I can chapter back and forth but cannot fast forward or rewind. The screen just stays still until I press play again.

Is this ripbot causing this or something else? Is it because I am using a m2ts file rather than the complete ripped disc?

Also, using the same m2ts created file method (but different films) I have had it abort itself around 40% into the pass1 and creates a 600MB BDMV fodler and obviously corrupted as it doesn't do anything.

[marcmartin]

If its taken that long, perhaps you can try faster encoding settings?

Yes, I wonder what settings are being used for a 36-hour encode, and how long is the video? I've got a 4-year old computer and encoding a 50 minute 720x1280 video takes about 16 hours using the built-in HD settings, 2-pass, 4000 kbps.

As for new feature requests, I guess I'd echo requests for a pause button, although I admit that it seems to work fine on my computer going in and out of hibernation in Windows XP. However, a pause button would be nice if I want the CPU to focus on something else temporarily.

Also, I wish the calculation of the estimated time remaining was based more on the recent encode speed, and not how much progress has been made from the beginning of the encode. If one hibernates in the middle of the encode, the ETA isn't even close to being correct afterwards.

All mine have been around 36 hours no matter what I do (10-12 hours pass 1 and 24 hours pass 2).

I have gone from a blu ray m2ts file at around 20-32GB and gone down to both a single sided and dual layer dvd.

I have done them all at 1280 x 720, 2 passes and 3500-4000ish kbps for single sided and 7000-8000ish for dual layer.

The longest I have done is transformers at 2 hours 25 minutes and get exception quality on a single sided 4.37GB.

What settings are you suggesting I messed up? RipBot is meant to keep it all simple for people who are a little lost in re-coding encoding but I am quite open to finding out what I have done wrong. All I did was a 2 pass, locked size to 4480 and did a copy stream for the DTS audio. Mind you that came out in Italian ;-) perhaps some extra settings would be good. Changing Matroska Splitter to only grab English audio didn't work so some other program must be extracting the audio track.

Still, I just came back to another failed 36 hr recode. My mate is laughing at the audio mis match for all that effort. Oh, 1 pass encode took over 12 hrs as well. Meh, I'm a noob.

[awake33]

First off, great program, many thanks and kudos to the author. :thanks:

Is it possible to skip the demuxing of audio that occurs after selecting the file to be encoded? I don't use audio from Ripbot at all.

Also, would it be possible to skip the muxing process after the encode? All I need is the .h264 file.

[nwg]

I tried doing I,Robot with a audio track that I created from the DTS-HD MA. I wanted 768kbps DTS so created a m2ts file with that audio. It got up to 94% on pass 1, then started to mux and ended up with a 735MB file (instead of a 4.37GB). If I mess with the audio first, am I better of doing a video only m2ts and then mux the audio in a new file after encoding the new H264 video. It would solve my problem where is it finishing too early as it is now the fourth or fifth time it has done it.

More control on what steps the program does would be good. A fully auto and a manual mode would be great. Perhaps have a tick box in the settings somewhere on what processes the program does or not do.

[Furiousflea]

This program has served me well last 6 months or so...

The 1 feature I would love....would be XVID support :)

Reason being is that this h264 on the Xbox 360 is great for 2 channel audio soruces, especially interlaced DVDs that are encoded at 50fps (so you can maintain the smooth motion) and 50fps video play great on the 360...

However for 5.1 movies, the Xbox 360 only supports 2 channel AAC audio...But it supports 5.1 DD with XVID...

Just wondering if it would be difficult to implement a profile for that or if you have any intention :)

(Had enough of using Fair Use Wizard)

Thanks for any heads up, and again as I've posted a couple of times already...Thanks for a front end :)

[nwg]

It would be good to be able to select H264 video files. I am trying Ripbot with just a video file (to mux a ac3 file afterwards). I had to go from a H264 video file to a mt2ts file which it makes a H264 file and back to a m2ts file.

[riptorn]

I keep getting couldnt open the file, cannot play back the video stream, no suitable decompressor could be found.

This only happens on some blu-ray/hd-dvds.

[Sgt_Strider]

Hi guys, I'm a newbie to this program. I'm wondeirng if RipBot will automatically resize a DVD to match the PSP's screen resolution? Can RipBot produce a MP4 file with subtitles and multiple soundtracks?

[deets]

Hi guys, I'm a newbie to this program. I'm wondeirng if RipBot will automatically resize a DVD to match the PSP's screen resolution?

it will if you select resize and then psp in the drop down.

[Sgt_Strider]

it will if you select resize and then psp in the drop down.

Have you done it before? Will the videos fully take advantage of every single pixel on the PSP?

[Furiousflea]

Have you done it before? Will the videos fully take advantage of every single pixel on the PSP?

Yes, if you select the PSP resolution of 480x272 in the drop down list box for resizing.

I echo the 'pause' request, too. Sadly, Windoze has no "Suspend Task" functionality, like UNIX has (Ctrl-Z). Ideally, Ripbot could save its current state of progress, be closed even, and pick up where it left off the next time you start it. I often am transcoding for >32 hours. Ideally, you'd use your machine during the day for the stuff you usually use it for, and have it transcode/recode at night time.

I've been able to obtain this sort of functionality using a freeware utility named "BES - Battle Encoder Shirase 1.3.7". This allows you to target a process (in this case, x264.exe) and throttle down the CPU it demands anywhere from 0 to 100%. If I'm in no hurry, I will sometimes just throttle it down so the CPU doesn't have to run at 100% and the CPU fans don't have to run as fast.

Hi i am trying to find a new PC to work with Ripbot, with all the 64bit questions can someone tell me if this should work

http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=74%2C75,395&webid=752261&affixedcode=WW

will I see an improvement over my 3.5 fps on 1280x720 on my dual core

thanks

I know this isint the proper place to ask this but i am getting this pc just for Ripbot:)

[Paddy97]

@Dark Shikari : Since you are very much more knowledgeble in X264 then most could you please give me a hand?

With the [ level 4.0 ] HD . BluRay . Consoles profile in the .8 version of ripbot ( please see below ) it produces files that are not compatible with the Tvix media players if I encode a Bluray disc and I am trying to find out what to change in the profile to eliviate this problem. In MeGui the x264_dp_ Standalone-PS3-Xbox360 profile works like a charm but translating between that profile and Ripbots is more then I can manage. The tvix will reboot or stutter heavily as symptoms.

I've tried reducing the buffersize and maxbitrate to the levels in the megui profile but that did not fix the problem. Any other hints I should try to change in the ripbot profile?

The easiest way would ofcourse to start using MeGui instead but Ripbot is so much more on par with my encoding skills from a user perspective.

[Dark Shikari]

The megui profile has no b-pyramid.

[marcmartin]

In MeGui the x264_dp_ Standalone-PS3-Xbox360 profile works like a charm but translating between that profile and Ripbots is more then I can manage.


I also observed some playback problems (picture freezing) on my Popcorn Hour using the current RipBot HD profile. This is hardly scientific, but I took a look at the MeGui P3-XBOX360 profile, and made some changes to the RipBot HD profile based on that and the freezing went away. I think the changes I made were: turn off B-Pyramid, turn off Trellis, turn off P4x4, lower buffer and max bitrate to 20000, lower subme to 6. The encoding process is too long to figure out which one of these made the difference, and for all I know simply reencoding with no changes in the profile may have solved the problem!

[nurbs]

Trellis and subme can't cause problems on hardware players. p4x4 is not allowed in level 4.0 IIRC. b-pyramid might also be a problem.

[Ajax_Undone]

http://www.mediafire.com/?ixk1oygozaf

Try this profile on for size... I altered it so I wouldn't have problems with some of my stuff.

[marcmartin]

Try this profile on for size... I altered it so I wouldn't have problems with some of my stuff.

Thanks! I've just compared this with RipBot's built-in HD/BluRay/Console profile, and there are only 2
differences: P4x4 is turned off, and B-Pyramid is
turned off.

[Ajax_Undone]

Correct I made that adjustment when 1.10.8 came out figures it would help. :-)

It fixed all the problems I was having... As nurbs said just previously those settings are not possible in 4.0 profile...

You can however change to 4.1 but it really only works out good for PS3

[Dark Shikari]

Trellis and subme can't cause problems on hardware players. p4x4 is not allowed in level 4.0 IIRC. b-pyramid might also be a problem.p4x4 is surely allowed in L4.0.

[Ajax_Undone]

But my experience p4x4 always causes glitchy frames on my Popcorn Hour and my XBox is allergic to B-pyramid.

[Paddy97]

Thanks @Ajax_Undone, @marcmartin, @Dark Shikari

Taking away the Bpyramid and P4x4 will create a file that is able to run without problems on the latest Tvix beta firmware but it still reboots the last stable firmware release ( I have two tvix boxes ). I thought I would give Subme 6 ( since that is the level in the working megui profile ) a go as well to see if I can get a working file that also works with the stable firmware.

Thanks for your assistance so far!

[Sharc]

How can I set set the '--keyint' and '--min-keyint' parameters in the RipBot264 profiles?

[nurbs]

I thought I would give Subme 6 ( since that is the level in the working megui profile ) a go as well to see if I can get a working file that also works with the stable firmware.

Again, subme can't have an influence on hardware compatibility. subme 6 or 7 are a good compromise between speed and quality in my opinion.

[laserfan]

How can I set set the '--keyint' and '--min-keyint' parameters in the RipBot264 profiles?Dunno how to set in RB's profiles, but before you click "Start" (after selecting all other options for a job) you can manually edit the Pass1 and Pass2 .cmd files. Atak has expressed some discomfort ;) with users making such changes of course! But it works, and I like to use MeGUI x264 command lines in the RipBot program, because Atak's transparent bitrate calculator is outstanding. :)

If RipBot264 had a more complete x264 profile, and then had an option to pause before the tsMuxeR final step (to allow editing of the .meta file), It'd be perfect. Oh, I found it doesn't always interpret MPEG2 Blu-rays properly i.e. doesn't invoke DGindex as it should. And it uses a build of x264 my P4 doesn't like. But other than that... :p

[Paddy97]

Dear collegues, thanks for helping me tracking down how to make a profile that is safe for the Tvix HD-M6500/M7000 players. I have now after the last encode been able to produce a videofile that plays without either rebooting or stuttering the player. It also works like a charm on my Popcorn Hour A100 player.

The last thing that needed to get a working profile was to back down to Subme 6 from 7 that the new Ripbot uses. The old version .6 of Ripbot used Subme 6 and that one allways worked. I am aware that Nurbs says that this one can't have an impact but for some reason it does on the tvix. Below you can see the functioning profile. Please use it if you want to. The bitrate can be 30000 and still work but I am using a slightly less value just to keep everything on the safe side.

Once again, thanks for your efforts! I am now a very happy encoder that can take all my Bluray discs and put on the network so that my family gets a jukebox with great quality.

Sorry for giving bad advice, but that's very strange. Subme is an analysis option and while it obviously changes the written bitstream it shouldn't change it in any way that causes incompatibility. Maybe, if you feel like it, you could inform the manufacturer of the tvix about that problem.

Hi Atak,

I have a question:
Did you think it can be possible to add an Save queue file to saving queue when we need to reboot between two conversion?

Thanks.

has anyone had problems with the matrix revolutions bluray? when i load it into ripbot264 it says there are like 129 chapters and even after selecting 2-pass .bluray @ 8150mb final size it produces 12gb of garbage. I can tell it is going to be fubar right after it starts encoding because the speed is all messed up.

ive done about 100 other blurays with no real problems but this one refuses to work. any ideas?

[keysersose]

I am stuck on always getting this error -->DirectShow Service: Render File, the filter graph wont talk to me..

Hi Atak,

I have a question:

Thanks.

it already does it. untick 'delete temp files' before you start encoding.

[mmmmdonut]

For those discs that have a 7.1 audio track, is it possible to re encode those tracks to 7.1 aac?

I know the existing versions of RB264 stop at 5.1 but wasnt sure if there are any reasons/issues with doing a 7.1 aac encode.

Thx

[asarian]

it already does it. untick 'delete temp files' before you start encoding.

I don't get it. How are you gonna interrupt RipBot264 exactly in-between two jobs? Once it's done with the first, it immediately proceeds to the second (which is good, btw).

Or are you saying you could actually interrupt the current job, and with 'delete temp files' ticked off, that RipBot264 will pick up where it left off? That would be fantastic!

[asarian]

Changed: Level 4.1 has been changed to Level 4.0 (Reason: some devices do not accept anything above Lv4.0. For example Tvix. Quality settings has not been changed!

Hmm, I wonder why Atak did this? According to wikipedia, there's some sizeable max bitrate differences between the two levels:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264

4 = 20 Mbit/s 25 Mbit/s 60 Mbit/s 80 Mbit/s
4.1 = 50 Mbit/s 50 Mbit/s 150 Mbit/s 200 Mbit/s

Etc. Also, who cares whether Mr. Tuvix can't handle 4.1? Or a PSP? Why should that affect my Blu-Ray profile?

Well, I upgraded to 1.10.8 to get this funtionality, but x264 fails after just a minute or so ("serious error; needs to close" kind). Sigh.

Am I the only one? I haven't had a working Ripbot264 (or x264 rather) since 1.10.5.

Well, I wouldn't know about size problems. I always set it to CRF=18, MotionEstimationAlgorithm=4 - ESA, and SubpixelRefinement=7; so the output is comparatively large (and non-predetermined). But I certainly didn't get garbage when recoding.

Hi Everyone. I have a big big problem with Ripbot264, when i started the job, the conversion doesn't work at all. I only have a message "Conversion is complete" it takes 500 ms to make the entire HD movie... When i preview the script it works, ripbot shows me the video so i really don't understand the thing :s

I reinstall FFDShow and halli media splitter , try different versions of Ripbot264, always the same thing. Impossible to encode :'(. Please help :thanks::thanks:

Is it with RipBot264 possible to create a mp4 file that is compatible with the iPhone that:

- has chapters (with names)

If not, are you planning on making this functionality? Thanks mate.

Ever since 1.10.7 i have been having problems getting the final .mkv, i get the mkv created message but no final mkv(it seems to work every other time)

Error: The output file 'C:\00076.mkv' could not be opened for writing (No error).

I bet you are running Windows Vista? Vistas protection prevents you from writing stuff to the root of the boot disk. Please create a directory and make sure you instruct Ribbot to save to that directory instead.

Have done the same mistake myself a few times :p

[Nemesis7]

Just turn off UAC in the Control Panel and you're set :)

Any way to select the Language to pass through on DTS encoded file for a recode? An option to change somewhere?

[therealjoeblow]

Changed: Level 4.1 has been changed to Level 4.0 (Reason: some devices do not accept anything above Lv4.0. For example Tvix. Quality settings has not been changed!

Hmm, I wonder why Atak did this? According to wikipedia, there's some sizeable max bitrate differences between the two levels:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264

4 = 20 Mbit/s 25 Mbit/s 60 Mbit/s 80 Mbit/s
4.1 = 50 Mbit/s 50 Mbit/s 150 Mbit/s 200 Mbit/s

Etc. Also, who cares whether Mr. Tuvix can't handle 4.1? Or a PSP? Why should that affect my Blu-Ray profile?

Can someone please tell me what settings to [either change or revert] in the 4.0 profile to have a proper 4.1 profile? I don't (nor ever will) have a Tvix, and plan only to play my files on the PC, but want the 4.1 profile to be properly compatible with DXVA.

Thank you

You can directly edit the profile ini files. In the Profiles directory of ripbot, open up the file "[ level 4.0 ] HD . BluRay . Consoles.ini" in a text editor and at the very bottom of it, change Level=level 4.0 to Level=level 4.1

hi, at 99/100 ISO file writing, mp4box.exe crashes. my .mp4 file works though.. any ideas? i've updated to 10.8.7 btw.

[Nemesis7]

I encode my files using RipBot264, and it's amazing, love it. But there seem to be limitations concerning mp4 files like adding multiple audio and subtitle streams to a mp4 file, also adding chapters.
I suppose mp4box can help me with this, but what would the commandline be if I wanted this in one mp4 file that plays properly on the iPhone:

Video: animatrix.x264
Audio 1: a1_jap.aac
Audio 2: a2_eng.aac
Subtitle 1: s1_eng.srt
Subtitle 2: s2_nld.srt
Chapters: chapters.txt

For the subtitles I'd like to use ttxt files, but I'm not sure the iPhone supports this. I managed to get srt subs working on the iPhone using mp4te (http://www.bomijoa.com/iphone/download/mp4te_0.3.2.msi) though.

So what I'd like to know:
the commandline for mp4box to achieve the above

[MovieDude]

looks like a good application, going to try it now :D

MP4Box -ipod OUTPUT.mp4

note that mp4box defaults to 25 fps if you don't specify any frame rate value. If your content has other FPS, then add the -fps switch along with the value, eg -fps 23.976 or -fps 29.970

I don't get it. How are you gonna interrupt RipBot264 exactly in-between two jobs? Once it's done with the first, it immediately proceeds to the second (which is good, btw).

Or are you saying you could actually interrupt the current job, and with 'delete temp files' ticked off, that RipBot264 will pick up where it left off? That would be fantastic!
Well, to answer myself, RipBot264 apparently can't resume the current job where it left off: it just restarts the current job altogether. Well, it was idle hope anyway. But that doesn't mean such a feature wouldn't be welcome. Kinda like a 'resume download' for FTP thingy. I don't see why x264 couldn't be made to pick up where it left off. Would come in handy for crashes, too.

[MovieDude]

I am having so much trouble converting AVI's to MP4's first I used meGUI and all were out of sync, now using this program I got 4 perfect movies and now 3 out of sync. Ok I can configure the delay bla bla bla.. but now I'm getting this:

Yes these are a necessity! Before you try anything uninstall any codec pack that you might be using. FFDShow should be sufficient to decode anything your looking to decode.:rolleyes:

thanks ~bt~, that did the trick!

[shlap]

I've tried using RipBot 1.10.8 to generate an mkv from both an m2ts and an evo file.

Every time my audio starts out in sync but gradually falls behind the video. I've installed the latest AVISynth, ffdshow, and Haali's Media Splitter.

Am I doing something wrong? I'm using the Console profile and, 2-pass 12288kbps. The only thing I can think of is that I have Nero 8 installed, maybe uninstall that?

[~bT~]

^ try selecting stretch instead of cut for audio.

or maybe assumefps?

[shlap]

^ try selecting stretch instead of cut for audio.

or maybe assumefps?

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I did notice that...

video duration=2:31:18.996, audio duration=2:31:19.008

so would "stretch" stretch the video to match the extra .012 seconds?

[skrowl]

May I request m2ts as an output container? I've had the best luck streaming h.264 / AC3 in this container to my PS3. Outputting to MKV then running it through tsmuxer to make it a m2ts is my current workaround, but I'd like to avoid the extra setp.

Also, Profile 4.1 would be nice since it includes a few things that 4.0 doesn't and is fully compatible with PS3 / Xbox 360 / etc.

[nwg]

Can't you output as a Blu Ray disc and then delete everything apart from the created m2ts file.

What does 4.1 do over 4.0 and would 4.1 be better for working with HD DVD/Blu Ray discs?

For anyone else, I fixed the audio sync issue when converting from EVO files. RipBot was using eac3to to extract the AC3 and because I didn't have Nero 7 installed, it was using the default codec to do this. Once I installed Nero 7 with the HD Plugin pack, eac3to was able to use the Nero7 dll to extract the audio and my sync issues are gone. Yay.

seed if you use this :) let me know if its ok and works fast etc.

[dm1105]

Hello once again, my friends. I recently upgraded from version 1.10.5 to version 1.10.8. The latest version worked very well when I used it to encode an HD-DVD movie to Bluray format. However, it does not work for me when I encode an MKV. For instance, when I begin the encoding process, it finishes very fast. When RipBot264 is done with everything, I notice that the final file is less than half a gigabyte. It turns out that when I play the movie, only about 1 minute or so of the movie is encoded properly, the rest of the movie suddenly has a black screen with this error message on top of the screen: CAVIStreamSynth: System exception - Access Violation at 0x0, reading from 0x0

I'm convinced that it has to do with the fact that the new version utilizes DirectShowSource() to do the MKV decoding. By the way, I'm on a 64-bit PC running Vista Ultimate. Any suggestions? Please, no smart-ass remarks--leave that for your parents.

[Ajax_Undone]

Hmm Have you tried replacing DirectShowSource() in job1.avs and using the *.bat file to do it manually from inside the temp folder?

[dm1105]

Hmm Have you tried replacing DirectShowSource() in job1.avs and using the *.bat file to do it manually from inside the temp folder?

Thanks for the quick response. I was wondering if you can elaborate just a little bit more as to what you mean exactly. For instance, I don't know if you're asking me to try to change the way the 'videosource' is inputed in the avs script. Also, I don't know what batch file in the temp folder you want me to run manually. Thanks.

P.S.: If you don't mind me asking, what happened to your old avatar? Was your previous avatar a picture of you? Just curious (I've been away from this forum for a long time).

[Ajax_Undone]

Well as your first post stated I'm convinced that it has to do with the fact that the new version utilizes DirectShowSource() to do the MKV decoding.

So yes change the way the 'videosource' is inputted in the avs script. I figure if it would have worked before it should still ring true. I haven't messed with re-encoding mkv file types before so I don't know what video source filter to use..

In the temp folder that ripbot creates on you local hard drive. there should be a couple of .bat/.cmd scripts once it does the initial demuxing and what not and after you set your custom settings.

hi hope someone can help please! i am using the hauppage hd-pvr to capture from sky HD it creates a h264 ts file which plays fine but as soon as i encode them to blu structure the sync goes out i have tried "cut" "stretch" and manually adjusting the sync but cant get it to match is there anything else i can try? all mkvs work fine its just these ts ones!
i can post a sample if needed thx

[dm1105]

Hmm Have you tried replacing DirectShowSource() in job1.avs and using the *.bat file to do it manually from inside the temp folder?

Thanks for all the help. Apparently, its seems that I resolved the problem by removing M$ Office Groove from my computer. I read in a MeGUI forum that there was some sort of conflict between the usage of DirectShowSource() and M$-Groove. After its removal, I was able to use MeGUI for the first time ever and I no longer had the problem with RipBot264 v.1.10.8 + decoding by way of DirectShowSource() (weird, I know).

[Ajax_Undone]

Kool... Great to know...

[Sgt_Strider]

I realize the Iphone/Itouch doesn't have a screen resolution with an aspect ratio similar to a DVD. So I'm just wondering what resolution RipBot will use to re-encode DVDs into an MP4 file that will display properly on the Iphone?

[Sgt_Strider]

Is it with RipBot264 possible to create a mp4 file that is compatible with the iPhone that:

- has multiple selectable subtitles which can be turned on/off in the iPhone (.srt input)
- has chapters (with names)

If not, are you planning on making this functionality? Thanks mate.

I would like to know as well. If RipBot264 can't do it, which other encoder GUI can?

[nwg]

I only use ripbot to convert Blu Ray and HD DVD to a AVCHD DVD. Ignoring the fact that it takes me another 10 hour or so to encode at 1080p. I noticed that the bitrate is the same whether it is 1080p or 720p so, am I better off encoding at 720p saving time and because the resolution is smaller do I get a better picture?

I did I, Robot at 1080p and while it looks very good, I do wonder if 720p would have been better. I only have a 720p display anyway.

I suppose the advantage is I keep the 24fps/hz so everything stays in sync. When I playback at 720p it does 720p/60.

The blu ray subs have to be extracted. TsMuxer can do this. Then run it through Subrip to convert it to a srt file. It has to ocr the words so it may require manually correcting the software for mistakes or words it can't recognise.

I was hoping ripbot would work wih the sup files as it extracts the sup during the analysing of the source file but doesn't seem to do anything with it.

Because I only use Ripbot for H264 Blu Rays. I play the rest from my pc in original quality and use tsmuxer to create subs for playback in Nero Showtime. I also prepare the files I may need before using ripbot.

anyone tried the torrent, is it seeding ok, im not uploading a thing.... other torrents are working

[Atak_Snajpera]

@Atak_Snajpera why does ripbot doesn't do a quick first pass ?
I'm quad core user so I decided to modify first quick pass. Previous quick pass was using only two cores (--me dia --subme 3 --partitions none). Now it uses all 4 cores (--partitions none) so quality will be better and speed should be similar. However if you have less cores speed will be slower.

does the PS3 really support P4x4 ?
Ofcourse!!! It even supports b-pyramid :) Show me where Level 4.0 or 4.1 forbides P4x4. If less powerfull devices like ipod or psp support p4x4 why on earth Ps3 or xbox360 would not play files with p4x4.

anyone tried the torrent, is it seeding ok, im not uploading a thing.... other torrents are working
Could you stop doing that?!?

I also tried the BluRay ver of TERMINATOR 2 with 1.11.0 and it too doesn't show the DD tracks.
Show me screen shot

[deets]

Could you stop doing that?!?


could you be more specific? stop torrenting or stop posting the link?? im trying to provide people with other options as mediafire is painfully slow for me.

let me know what your objection is and ill deal with it :)

can you put a option to get the 1th pass for less powerful computer. It's really slower for me (dual core) ? I don't want to have to edit each jobs that I'll create. pleasssssssseeeeee :)

[microchip8]

why not just use turbo=2 during the first pass? it disables most if not all CPU heavy options

[Atak_Snajpera]

good idea

let me know what your objection is and ill deal with it
Google provides alternative links

[laserfan]

why not just use turbo=2 during the first pass? it disables most if not all CPU heavy optionsIs there a clear explanation somewhere of which "final pass" options are important & necessary to include in the first (analysis/stats creation) pass? I always thought they needed to be mostly identical.

[microchip8]

For the first pass, you can lower/remove the following option

--ref 1
--me dia
--partitions none
--subme 1
--trellis 0

--8x8dct can be removed
--weightb can be removed

This is equivalent to MEncoder's turbo=2 option which considerably speeds up the first pass. For the more code-savvy people, below is the code from ve_x264.c from MEncoder


if(param.rc.b_stat_write && !param.rc.b_stat_read) {
/* Adjust or disable some flags to gain speed in the first pass */
if(turbo == 1)
{
param.i_frame_reference = ( param.i_frame_reference + 1 ) >> 1;
param.analyse.i_subpel_refine = FFMAX( FFMIN( 3, param.analyse.i_subpel_refine - 1 ), 1 );
param.analyse.inter &= ( ~X264_ANALYSE_PSUB8x8 );
param.analyse.inter &= ( ~X264_ANALYSE_BSUB16x16 );
param.analyse.i_trellis = 0;
}
else if(turbo >= 2)
{
param.i_frame_reference = 1;
param.analyse.i_subpel_refine = 1;
param.analyse.i_me_method = X264_ME_DIA;
param.analyse.inter = 0;
param.analyse.b_transform_8x8 = 0;
param.analyse.b_weighted_bipred = 0;
param.analyse.i_trellis = 0;
}
}

[Atak_Snajpera]

--subme 1
If I recall Dark Shikari does not recommend --subme 1.

[microchip8]

Well, I always encode with MEncoder's turbo=2 option which lowers subme to 1 and I haven't had any problems with it, or any distortions or quality loss that I can see

Wondering upon a frustrating bit I came upon earlier today..

Is it possible to add muti angle processing. Why because multi angled DVD's show up as interlaced when they are not...

[drelin]

Hello,

I've just tested the last version 1.11.1 and I have a question for the parameters of the Encoding profile settings :

It's not aviable to adjust the value for "debloking sensibilty" with negative value (ex: -1). When I want to validate the settings a error warning is displayed : "is not a valid interger value".
With a positive, no problem.
For "deblocking strength", posivite and negative work.

Have you any idear for this ? With other encoder I not encounter this problem or with older versions of ripbot264.

Thank for your anwser.

[Wishbringer]

If I recall Dark Shikari does not recommend --subme 1.

Yepp, that was result by some tests, can't remember if by DS or another of the "great ones":
--subme 2 or even 3 is optimal for 1st pass.
It increases quality and speed loss is minor.

Tests were before Psy and AQ enchantments and tested with SSIM, PSNR and visual tests.
Don't know if statement is still valid after introducing AQ and Psy-RD/Psy-Trellis,
but i don't know any reasons why not.

I have yet to see any (huge) drop in quality when using subme 1 for the first pass. Since my eyes may not be that sensible, I'm fine with subme 1 for the first pass in a multipass encodeing

Guys, and froggy1:

I muxed the video + audio + srt subs like froggy1 told me (incl. setting the file up for iPod), but the iPhone doesn't display the subs. Like mentioned before mp4te muxes srt files the right way, but srt files are very limited. Atak_Snajpera is there a chance you adding the same kind of functionality? It shouldn't be too hard. Mp4box muxes the subs correctly, but a few atom properties need to be edited. (see: http://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5520)

Thanks in advance guys!

"ffdshow tryouts" with newest version installed?

"ffdshow tryouts" with newest version installed?

Yes, does the latest version of RipBot really require a beta version of ffdshow? Or did I get a bogus error message?

[Wishbringer]

I'm fine with subme 1 for the first pass in a multipass encodeing

And others see (or feel) the difference when watching HD on a 56" TV.. and are fine with subme 2 or 3.
It's Atak's choice if he switches to subme 1 or stays at current settings (or enables an ini-switch, or...)

Yes, does the latest version of RipBot really require a beta version of ffdshow? Or did I get a bogus error message?
ffdshow was never stable... the "tryouts" are a continued project of ffdshow and are more current and support more codecs (ffdshow was last updated in 2004!)

[Ajax_Undone]

type into your browser this http://ffdshow.info/ pick this SVN builds by clsid (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173941&package_id=199416) then choose the latest one under generic builds.. Right now as of this post this is the latest ffdshow_rev2301_20081105_clsid.exe (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ffdshow-tryout/ffdshow_rev2301_20081105_clsid.exe?modtime=1225909544&big_mirror=0)

hi Atak great to see you back, I am using the hauppage hd-pvr to capture from sky HD it creates a h264 ts file which plays fine but as soon as i encode them to blu structure the sync goes out i have tried "cut" "stretch" and manually adjusting the sync but cant get it to match is there anything else i can try? all mkvs work fine its just these h264 ts ones!
i can post a sample if needed thx :)

Hi Atak. Good to see you back. Anyway got one for you. I just picked up firefly and on some of the episodes RB shows no chapters, audio, video etc. Looking at the log I see the following in the title info file: The format of the source file could not be detected.

Any ideas?

What codec was used in 10000_BC movie? VC-1 ? :)

[stormswa]

Atak_Snajpera, using eac3to - [a04] Decoding with libav/ffmpeg... [v02] Muxing video to Matroska... then used mkvmerge(mkvmerge v2.4.0 Build Oct11 2008) to join the .dts and .mkv files. The info on the final file shows libebml v0.7.7 + libmatroska v0.8.1 were used. Also Surcode DTS Encoder version 1.0.21.0. was used with eac3to as well.
Hope this info helps and thank you heaps for your time and effort.
It's strange the previous version worked before I used the latest one but now neither work :(
[Edit] I even tryed letting RipBot do the whole job with the same error just to let you know as well.

[Bigmango]

Hello Atak,

Today I have recoded a 9+GB m2ts file (AVC+DTS) to dual layer DVD (create blu-ray disc) . The result came out 6Mb bigger than the disc.

Everything was default settings (I didn't change anything other than setting 2 pass) I set the 2 pass output to the default 8150Mb, it came out at 8156Mb.

Here's the specs:

- FPS: 29.97
- Frames: 295630
- Duration: 2:44:24.198
- mode 2 pass, 4928 kbps
- audio DTS, copy stream, duration 2:44:29.429

I hope you can correct the bitrate calculation once more :)

After a 20 hours recoding this is quite a pain, fortunately I could cut the 6Mb with tsmurex.

I think this is not the first time this happened with DTS. Especially when I have several subtitles the calculation is most of the time wrong (almost always comes out bigger than the disc).

[Atak_Snajpera]

@stormswa
Show me full eac3to log.

I hope you can correct the bitrate calculation once more
ohh noooooo :)

I think this is not the first time this happened with DTS. Especially when I have several subtitles the calculation is most of the time wrong (almost always comes out bigger than the disc).
Does it happen more often with longer movies?

[Bigmango]

Does it happen more often with longer movies?

I think yes, but I am not sure (I remember having the problem with other DTS files in the past, but sometimes I added subtitles and sometimes not, so I'm not sure).

What I can confirm:

Problem 1:

- it often works fine. During the past week I have converted 3 or 4 DTS movies. All of them where about +/- 2 hours long, and all of them matched the target size perfectly (8150Mb). There were no subtitles.

- the above DTS movie with the problem was 2h44 long. It came out 6Mb too big. There were no subtitles.

Problem 2:

- there is a problem with subtitles. When I select subtitles, especially if I select several subtitles tracks, the resulting file comes out several Mb too big (2 to 8 Mb depending on the source and the number of subtitles). This happens with DTS and AC3, so it isn't dependent on the sound track.

It seems that adding more subtitle tracks increases the size problem, making the output bigger.


edit: the size miscalculation is only a few MBs. If it's complicated to fix (or if there is a risk to mess all of the good calculations up when trying to fix this) I think just lowering the default output sizes by 10 Mb (8150 -> 8140 and 4480 -> 4470) would be an acceptable easy and safe "fix" for all cases. Of course it wouldn't be perfect, but it's less trouble for you :)

I still wouldn't mind a proper pasue button. I just used procexp.exe to pause the encoding which worked. I have now continued but unfortunately it is now going to take a lot longer. Second pass is usually around 2.2-2.5fps. It has continued at just 1.1fps and will take another 15 hours :( I only paused it for few hours.

On the plus side, despite the detection audio problems, the latest version works for me with blu rays.

[Atak_Snajpera]

If you will find free command line tool which can suspend any process , let me know.

Atak, lovely program, thanks for releasing it!

I have two questions:

Can anybody help me figure out the denoise feature? I've encoded some movies I have and they look a bit grainy. I thought denoising them would help but it doesn't seem to have made much of a difference when I check the AviSynth script. Any suggestions? Should I tweak the values some or just ignore it entirely?
Is there any way to remove the ripbot water mark at the beginning? It's not a big deal and I don't want to sound ungrateful, but it's a bit jarring.

When you restart after pausing, the encoding frame rate will continue just as fast as it always does, however RipBot264's display becomes highly inaccurate about the current frame rate and remaining time, because it bases that on how many frames have been encoded since you started the job. I've already suggested that the algorithm calculating these parameters should be modified, so that for example they only take into account what has been encoded in the last minute.

Not in my case. By the amount of time and the percentage done so far it is half what it was before pausing the encoding.

Yes, if this only happens in VLC, then it's not a "watermark", but merely VLC displaying some information about the file. Perhaps there is an option in VLC to stop doing that?

What windows version do you have? 32-bit or 64-bit?

Can you detail please which "essential programs" are included with your installer that are not Atak's RipBot264?
Latest FFDShow , Stable AviSynth and Haali Media Splitter

[riptorn]

Its 64bit xp; im only using 64bit as i have 32gb ram; i dont have this issue on my vista 32but machine.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Its 64bit xp; im only using 64bit as i have 32gb ram; i dont have this issue on my vista 32but machine.
I knew that you have 64-bit and I know where i made a mistake.

[Ajax_Undone]

So it may over-write some programs that I already have installed e.g. Avisynth?

Can you detail please which "essential programs" are included with your installer that are not Atak's RipBot264?

If selected it will over write avisynth, FFDshow, and Haali but will not delete any extra filters or file that you manually put in to folders.

The installers that get downloaded by this installer (when selected) are of the same type and do nothing but extract the files into the already existing folders with an over write command (Nothing is deleted but might be over written)...

It's pretty self explanatory once you give it a try...

It allows you the user to install ripbot264, avisynth, haali, and ffdshow by choice... It installs shortcuts to the desktop StartMenu and the main project in x:\program files\ripbot264\*.*...

When ever I release a new version it has the most up to date version of the project and the latest FFdshow, Haali splitter and when the situation permits the latest avisynth.

So give it a try if you don't like it then you don't have to use it... Most people who are noobs or just want a simple strait forward installer that installs the software required. Love it...
:rolleyes:
Last count (accumulative) is 1987 downloads since I started building them... Only had 15 support requests and fixed all noted failings of the installer... I feel that is a good enough reason to continue building them...:)

Atak, good news, I found this site, and I did what it said, now I have:

Video + 2 audio + 2 subs + chapters working on iPhone :) You need Dumpster or Ultra-Edit, mp4box and Quicktime Pro

This what you do:
- encode your movie in h264 and put it in a mp4 container (mp4box -add video.h264 -new output.mp4)
- encode your audio to AAC (max. 2 streams)
- rip your subtitles to srt (max. 2 steams)
- convert your srt subs to ttxt subs (mp4box -ttxt sub1.srt)
- add you subs each seperate in a m4v container (mp4box -add sub1.ttxt -new sub1.m4v)
- change moov/trak/mdia/hdlr/coponent subtype from 'text' to 'sbtl' in either Dumpster (hex value: 7362746c) or Ultra-Edit (just rename text to sbtl) of your (m4v) subs
- open your output.mp4 in Quicktime Pro
- open your audio1.aac in Quicktime Pro, go to Edit -> Select All -> Copy
- go to your output.mp4 en do Edit -> Add to Movie
- do this for your 2nd audio track and your 1st and 2nd subtitle track (m4v files). !Remember to bring the slider back to the beginning after eacht time you paste something into the movie
- Now go to Windows -> Show Movie Properties in your output.mp4 file
- select the 1st audio track and go to 'Other Settings', set the language, and choose the 2nd audio track in the field 'Alternate'
- select the 2nd audio track and go to 'Other Settings', set the language, and uncheck this audio track since the 1st will be your default track
- uncheck both subtitle streams, set their languages, and chosse the 2nd subtitle stream in the 'Alternate' field of the 1st subtitle stream
- save the movie and sync up!

It would be so awesome to be able to do this using ripbot264, maybe it can help you into making the perfect app :)

Cheers,
Neme.

P.S.For chapters see the source as well, didn't feel like typing anymore :)

[jtheripper]

You do all that just to watch a video on an Iphone? Guess you have lots of time. I hope Atak will put in the option of creating a BD-R (25GB) and keeping the original audio. Of course I realize that is not posssible with Dolby TruHD (tsmuxer messes it up) but does work with DTS HD. Another option he could do is have eacto convert the Dolby TruHD to lpcm first then figure the video size. That is how I do it now.

[Nemesis7]

@jtheripper: I also watch movies on tv using the iPhone, it's great when you're away from home. And what's the "Guess you have lots of time." about? Come on man, that's not a smart comment.

[survivant001]

I started ripbot 1.11.2 when I got a popop error : failed to get data for 'wmv1'. And when I import a movie after the audio is demux.. the screen freeze. I have the video track and audio track shown.. but all the others fields stay gray.

OK Solved:: Do you have any other codec packs installed besides ffdshow and haali...

CCCP
K-Lite
and
Other types are not needed when you have ffdshow installed...

***Edit though I thought it was do to the fact of cccp being installed the error still continues.

[nekrosoft13]

there is something wrong with 1.11.2, not sure what is causing it, but older versions worked fine.

when I create a new job, and browse for video, after the video track index, it just shows the video file name in video box, and nothing else happens.

where can I download older build?

[prettyboy85712]

Atak,

Currently when adding subtitles RipBot always defaults to the temp job folder for every job. Any chance of making the default path for the subtitle option stick/remember the previous path? Or, default to the path of the selected video?

[Ajax_Undone]

I also have the same problem as BZeeme in post #2921 above when using V1.11.1 or v1.11.2 when playing a DVD+9 AVCHD Blu Ray movie of Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull backup on a Panasonic BD30 Blu Ray stand-alone player. The player locks-up if I tray to skip to the next chapter or pause play. You have to eject the disc or power off the player to reset. This issue is not present in V1.10.8.

This issue is NOT present if I play the backup via PowerDVD v7 or v8 on a PC..

[CyberTron88]

I seem to have problem with both 1.11.1 and 1.11.2. The video generated seems not as smooth (slight slow motion) when played back. 1.10.8 was ok.

I'm using CQ=18, mkv, profile 4.0.


I've tried the following :

1. enabled b-pyramid in 1.11.1 inside the profile, and set both bitrate to 30000 similar to 1.10.8.

2. i've even replaced the x264 from 1.10.8

3. I've also replaced the mkvtoolnix from 1.10.8

When i use mediainfo to compare both files, they video have the same settings... yet the one from 1.10.8 plays smoothly.

I've running from a quad core Q9300, 4GB memory, vista home premium

Atak, any chance we can have profile 4.1 back as well as 4.0 for those who need it?
I use RipBot264 to create single layer BD-R's and I'd prefer to have the higher bitrate & quality on offer with 4.1.
If you don't want to include it, what is the newest version of RipBot264 that I could copy it to the profiles folder from v.1.10.5?
Thanks

I really can't understand why you copy movies from BD to BD. Wouldn't be cheaper to just use DVD-DL?

[Sou1taker]

thank u for ur program. I rly like it.
How about a checkbox or something like that to know if u have chosen subtitles for the file?For example in the list of job queue.
Well i have yesterday that problem that i thought i choosed subtitles but in the end i didnt...:(
And it is possible to implement a default setting for subtitles like always use subtitles in the job temp folder?If there are 2 (.ass, .srt) use ass or srt (configurable) It will make my life much easier :D

[Bigmango]

I really can't understand why you copy movies from BD to BD. Wouldn't be cheaper to just use DVD-DL?

Atak you know we are image quality whores :)

Videos longer than 2h don't properly fit on a DVD-DL in 1080p. I have done several 2h - 2h15 backups lately and the bitrate drops as low as 7500k, and this is with only 1 DTS audio track (So we can forget about 2 audio tracks).

And at this bitrate I start to see some compression pixelation in several scenes. Below 8000k the video starts to lose too much detail, 8M should be the minimum for 1080p. Below that going to 720p is recommended.

1080p multi audio and 2h15+ movie backups are not possible on DVD-DL (maybe if you replace the full DTS track with an AC3 track you can go to something like 2h20, but even then you already lose detail in the picture).

So yes, BD to BD backups would allow to compress the 30+Gb m2ts files down to 25Gb, maintaining full 1080p glory and multi audio tracks.

:stupid:

[hdpete]

ofcourse it is fixed. Otherwise survivant001 would complain...

Yes it's cheaper (although BD-R 25's are becoming cheaper now), but there's no point in having a 50" plasma and good quality HD audio home cinema system if you going to compress quality to such a low level without HD Audio.
I think RipBot264 is great, but mine, and probably other's desires of the program will change as single layer BD-R's become more affordable. I use as as a kind of DVD Shrink for Blu-Ray's.
I assume the new TViX models won't be hampered by only supporting lower bitrates, the new models will have support to bitstream out DTS-HD and TrueHD.
At the end of the day it's your software that we're all taking advantage of and it's up to you to choose the direction you take it in. I would hope that it could include single layer BD-R facilities (including keeping HD Audio) as well as higher compression for DVD's.

I have done 2 hour 1080p on a single layer dvd and it looks fine with no compression artefect. I just use DD 5.1 for audio. It is also played on a projector.

I only do 720p as it takes around 12 hours shorter.

Everytime I have done a disc there has been another version. :) btw, now I tested it, I had no problems wit AVCHD and a Sony S350 player

Cartoons fit in 1080p on a single layer DVD5. But not movies.

And I have again done 5 or 6 1080p 2 hour movies backups on dual layer DVD9 last week. This was with the latest ripbot (0.10.8 to 0.11.2) using the latest version of x264 (1016 to 1028). When I was getting bitrates under 8M (and even at 8M, 9-10M was better) it was very clear that I was starting to lose picture quality compared to the blu-ray. The picture is smoothed out, losing detail, and in some scenes, especially on skin and people's faces there were compression artifacts. This is on a fullHD 46" TV.

Yes you can backup a 2h 1080p movie to DVD5, but the picture is smoothed out so much that the upscaled mpeg2 DVD will probably look even better than this. You lose the 1080p picture detail. Anyway, 2 hour movies will look MUCH better on a DVD5 in 720p than 1080p.

What point is there to HD if you want to lose the picture detail ?

[nwg]

What point is there to HD if you want to lose the picture detail ?

No loss in detail that is noticeable. I have recently done both I, Robot and Pans Laybyrinth in 1080p. A friends could not tell the difference between the DVD and the actual BD. Even I had trouble. This is at 80" size too.

I ahve also done the same disc as 720p and 1080p and there is very little in it. I would rather do 1080p and it keeps the fps. If I select 720 it goes to 60fps or I have to upscale from 720/60 to 1080/24.

The moderator jdobbs doesn't have any problems with 1080p on DVD yet.

Anyone know what that B-Pyramid option is and why it was added and then removed?

[survivant001]

ah ah ah


Can I request another feature please.

I would like to customize the AVS Script.

instead of having this

#MT


#VideoSource

video=OpenDMLSource("C:\Temp\danse_divx.avi",audio=false).ConvertToYV12()

#Deinterlace



I would like to have something like that

#MT
load filter(c:\filters\xxx.dll)

#VideoSource

video={your command line here(ripbot)}

video=FFTPGU(video,options...).filterxxx.anotherfilter()

#Deinterlace


the line after MT is fixed and the line after video too..

like that I won't have to edit each job manually to add theses lines.

I see the difference on 46" and it is very obvious. Many other people have confirmed this on these forums and on other forums like avs and highdef all over. There are dozens of posts about this. At lower than 8M you are starting to lose too much picture detail with 1080p, the picture gets smoothed out. When this happens 720p will look better.

No I don't have a problem with 1080p on DVD. 2 hour movies fit nicely on a DVD9. But forget 2 hour 1080p movies on a DVD5 as well as 3 hour movies on DVD9.

There are however some 1080p blu-ray movies that rather look like upscaled DVDs, so you can probably fit those on a DVD5. This also applies to cartoons. But not quality highdef content.

I can't even fit longer movies in 720p on a DVD5. I once compressed King Kong (3h) to 720p on a DVD5, many scenes were ugly (but overall it was still somewhat ok).

Anyway, there are posts all over the web from people who don't even see the difference between mpeg2 DVDs and highdef Blu-rays. So if you are happy with 1080p on DVD5 that's all that counts.

[nwg]

Longest I have done is Transformers at nearly 2.5 hours at 720p on a single layer DVD and there is zero noticeable difference with the BD. I swapped between them and after a while I lost track which one I was watching. This is still watching on a projector.

I haven't burned any DL version yet as my player will not play them without stuttering. I asume the bitrate is too high for it to cope. I also don't know what happens to the layer change position.

Of course there is a difference between DVD and BD. The difference is night and day a lot of the time.

Ah ok, so the picture probably isn't as detailed on a projector as it is on an LCD screen if you can't see the difference between 720p and 1080p content (I agree that the difference is not huge). On quality LCD screens you clearly see the difference starting from somewhere around 40".

But I have also seen some lower quality LCD screens where you don't really see a difference.

I also don't know what happens to the layer change position.


You don't see the layer change at all. Where I was seeing the layer change with my Sony DVD player (on original DVDs), here I don't see it on my burned BD9s on the blu-ray player. The movie just plays straight through it. You can just burn it as usual, there is nothing to worry about (at least using Nero 9).

[~bT~]

Atak, any chance we can have profile 4.1 back as well as 4.0 for those who need it?
I use RipBot264 to create single layer BD-R's and I'd prefer to have the higher bitrate & quality on offer with 4.1.
If you don't want to include it, what is the newest version of RipBot264 that I could copy it to the profiles folder from v.1.10.5?
Thanks

Just tried 1.11.3 today, seems to still have the same "slow motion" effect like in 1.11.1 and 1.11.2.

Yes it's cheaper (although BD-R 25's are becoming cheaper now), but there's no point in having a 50" plasma and good quality HD audio home cinema system if you going to compress quality to such a low level without HD Audio.
I think RipBot264 is great, but mine, and probably other's desires of the program will change as single layer BD-R's become more affordable. I use as as a kind of DVD Shrink for Blu-Ray's.
I assume the new TViX models won't be hampered by only supporting lower bitrates, the new models will have support to bitstream out DTS-HD and TrueHD.
At the end of the day it's your software that we're all taking advantage of and it's up to you to choose the direction you take it in. I would hope that it could include single layer BD-R facilities (including keeping HD Audio) as well as higher compression for DVD's.

um did you know that 192 kbps audio its hardly discernible that any audio loss... As far as video unless you are super man your not going to see anything but blur anyway cause plasma sux... Get a HD LCD....

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/askjack/2005/sep/15/plasmaorlcdtv

LCD screens also have some useful advantages over plasma screens. They are thinner, lighter and more robust, which makes them much easier to move around. For those with ecological concerns, LCDs use little power, whereas plasma screens use lots. Further, an LCD should last roughly twice as long as a plasma screen, which may have a "half life" of only 30,000 to 40,000 hours. (The "half life" is when the screen has degraded to half its brightness, and you may well throw it away.)

I did a movie with 1.11.2 (AVCHD DVD9) and had playback problems on my panasonic BP55 as well. The interesting thing is on my LG BH200 the movie played perfectly, able to skip chapters where on the panny it would freeze on skipping chapters.

Getting the same thing here. It for about the first 12 min of the video, it's almost like it's stubbering.... then it goes away and the video plays fine.

1.10.8 is fine and if I do the movie manually, it's fine

[microchip8]

I was just pointing out that the old profile was 30000 I wasn't suggesting that it was its max....

:) yes, I know. My question was as to why it was limited to 30000. Was there some problem with hardware players and the like?

I had this problem 1 week ago, I was using the system's default codec to play the video. Then I changed the playback codec to ffdshow using libavcodec (in the ffdshow video decoder configuration) and everything was fine.

[billqs]

I started using Ripbot recently to rip BlueRays and HDDVDs I own to Hard Drive. It was working fine until this weekend. I was trying to shrink down my copy of Sky Captain and I get the dreaded DirectShowSource: RenderFile, the filter graph manager won't talk to me (C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2) error. I tried my Fantastic Four BlueRay and got the same error.

I've read enough to realize there is probably a codec conflict. Between the working RipBot and this weekend I installed Arcsoft Total Media Theater and Sonic Cinemaster. In the Arcsoft case I got TMT so I could more easily view HD files from Hard Drive and double check errors I get with PDVD. Arcsoft is also a preferred codec for eac3to.

I got Sonic Cinemaster audio decoder to use in MPC-HC per this thread: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=892527 as it was recommended as a way to use HD-DVD and BlueRay playback within MPC. (I have had horrible luck playing back files on the HD much less on disc using MPC-HC.

The first thing I did after I got the errors was to use Ajax's installer to download the latest Ripbot 11.11.3 along with Haali Media Splitter (whichever model is included) that was included, the most recent ffdshow, and AviSynth 2.5.7. I was hoping that reinstalling these would place them higher in the merit chain so that the program would work again.

This did not work. I then used a program (DSF Filter Manager?) I have that lists all Direct Show filters and allows merits to be changed. I went in and downgraded the merits on Arcsoft and Cinemaster to slightly above "don't use".

I then tried to rerun the Sky Captain BlueRay that I had muxed with eac3to in order to only contain the streams I wanted to save. I got the same error. I don't have the RipBot log here at work, but I do have a copy of the eac3to log in case it helps:

Is there any way to get RipBot working without having to take TMT or the Cineplayer audio decoder off my system?

[CyberTron88]

Send me encoded sample (50MB .mkv -> www.mediafire.com) which doesn't work well.

The files are around 19GB...can provide me instructions how do I truncate them to 50MB?

[Fishman0919]

Some players have some buffer issues...

It does it in VLC, MPC and standalone.

I used --vbv-bufsize 16500 --vbv-maxrate 16500. Shouldn't cause a buffering problem and doing manually doesn't produce the same studdering.

[CyberTron88]

I've uploaded the files to my server. This is what I did.

I use mmg.exe, select my encoded mkv files, set the split to 50M, and 2 files, and once it starts generating the 2nd file, I abort. So I should have the first 50MB. Not sure if that is good enough, but it shows the starting animation that is not that smooth.

Hey there!

I have the same problem too. BUT I saw, that this was not in each video.. Encoded "Kindom of heaven" - problem of stuckin video in the first ~15 minutes. Also encoded "Layer Cake" and there was no problem at all....

In my point of view, this problem was caused with version 1.11.0 - earlier versions didn't had that problem..

How can I send you an exemple of my video-file with the problem - when your interessted.

I take it you've not read the reviews on the Pioneer PDP-LX5090 then? Every review going says that it is the best TV out there. I bought it recently and compared it to a Panasonic plasma and a Sony KDL-52W4500 I preferred the Sony to the Panasonic, the Panny had better contrast and blacks but couldn't match the Sony's sharpness, but the Pioneer was in a league of it's own, had the best of both!
http://whathifi.com/Review/Pioneer-PDP-LX5090/
http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/Pioneer-PDP-LX5090/Conclusion.htm
I used to have a Sony KDL-40W2000, it was good but not as good. I would take a new Sony LCD over any other TV than the Pioneer. Having said that, the backlight bleed is still a big issue with Sony LCD's. I accept LCD's have a longer life than plasmas, however with the latest generation of plasma's that isn't such a big issue. Your Guardian quote was 2005 - times change! TV's get better, audio get's better, hard drives get bigger and cheaper, BD-R's get cheaper, TViX streams HD Audio formats and RipBot264 will hopefully (pretty please) adjust to changing uses. We're likely to be onto the next version of HD before my Pioneer packs up, especially with the free 5 year warranty that Pioneer gave me with it!

With music, using a top of the range Onkyo TX-NR905 receiver and Monitor Audio speakers, yes you do definately notice the differance! 192kbps is nowhere near CD quality, you loose too much detail. It's a shame there were too many people like yourself that thought 192kbps mp3's were fine when SACD came out, otherwise we might have got more mainstream music being released on that format, it was (is) awesome!

HD audio formats are obviously lossless, and whereas I don't think there's as much difference with lossless movie soundtracks as with lossless music over compressed, DTS-HD Master audio smashes plain old DTS out of the water! PCM 5.1 is very good, Dolby TrueHD I've found to be not quite as good as the other HD audio formats, but I'm not using it much due to there not being any satisfactory muxing for it at the moment.

I'll bow to your superior PC skills, but I'll argue with you all day about audio quality!

I have now encoded a movie with version 1.11.3 for the first time and I now get the stuttering too.

I didn't have this problem with version 1.11.1 (don't know about 1.11.2 as it didn't work with x64).

I'm going back to 1.11.1 until the problem gets fixed.

Edit: ahhhhhh... but some of you have reported that v. 1.11.1 has some seeking problems with some players. I'd rather make sure my discs play everywhere in the future, so what is the latest working version, 1.10.8 ?

[nwg]

Hopefully I won't get the stuttering issue. Every version has worked fine for me and I rather not stop my current encode after nearly 12 hours. My Sony s350 player has neve been great with avchd. I can skip chapters although is takes a few seconds but I can't seek. It isn't a ripbot problem as it has always done that before I started using ripbot and x264. It does however play, stop and pause fine which is good enough for me.

I jumped from version 1.11.0 to 1.11.3 and the problem of the "stuttering" picture in the first ~10-15min is still there....

Version 1.11.0 has had that problem, too...

So I think version 1.10.8 was fine.. I'll try that later on an report

@Atak_Snajpera

can you put this request into your backlog of features for the next release ?

[miahallen]

Atak_Snajpera,

I've been building a digital movie collection for the past 4 years. I've used many front-ends for this proccess, and all have had their shortcomings...and none have effeciently used all the proccessor power I've had availible...until I tried RipBot. I just wanted to drop a line and let you know how awesome I think your program is, and tell you thanks for creating/sharing it!
:thanks:

edit:
Sorry, this has probably been asked before, but are you planning to add GPU encoding? If so, nVidia or AMD?

[survivant001]

there is a bug when opening a movie .avi that containts MJPG. failed to get fourcc for mjpeg. if getinfo.avs failed using OpenDMLSource can you try with DirectShowSource ?

[billqs]

Make sure that under MPEG2 (ffdshow video configuration) section libavcodec is selected

Thanks! That seems to have done the trick. I won't know till the 17 hour encode I'm working on finishes but so far no crashes. All my previous encodes with RipBot have been flawless!

Thanks for the great work!

[Atak_Snajpera]

if getinfo.avs failed using OpenDMLSource can you try with DirectShowSource ?
I have better idea. I will enable automatically decoding in ffdshow (VFW section) for mjpg in avi

New version will enable this as well

Sorry, this has probably been asked before, but are you planning to add GPU encoding? If so, nVidia or AMD?
This app is just a GUI. I'm not responsible for x264 encoder. One more thing. Forget about encoding on GPU and invest in nice quad-core. Use search why

Is that discernible detail or is it U high frequency detail. The sound quality of 192 has a massive loss of U high Frequency audio because the average person cannot hear nor tell the difference between the two...

It is this High frequency audio that is produced at every pitch that a normal 48000hz PCM audio file from a CD doesn't even have... Only the HD Audio has it and most studios agree that it is the main part of HD audio...

I can tell the difference over a 320kbps mp3 compared to the same song's original wav file. As long as the equipment/cabling you're using is good enough to pick out the detail, you'll hear a difference.

SACD plays frequencies that only your dog will hear, but the whole recording sounds better, more bass and depth as well as excellent treble. You don't even have to go to SACD, JVC created XRCD which gives excellent results played on a CD player, trouble is unless you're mad on jazz or classical there's not much choice available.

I've got a Mobile Fidelity CD of Nevermind by Nirvana, it's just a CD but the recording process from the original master is improved. It sounds a lot better than the mainstream CD. If there's a difference between CD recordings of the same album, imagine what you're doing to the album with LAME, you certainly ain't making it better!

As I said in my original reply, I can't notice as bigger difference with HD audio formats as I can with lossless music over compressed music. But if you watch a blu-ray like I,Robot with the DTS-HD Master audio and compare it to the normal DTS soundtrack the difference is definately noticeable, more dynamic (much to my neighbours annoyance), it involves you in the film more.

I calculated I think I need around 16 core at 3Ghz to achieve 1 to 1 (1X) playback to encoding ratio for high quality 1080p encoding. Wonder when we can achieve 2X or 4X speed without sacrificing quality and compression ratio. hmm.. wonder how much faster is the new i7 at the same clockspeed compared to the a core 2 quad?

I can tell the difference over a 320kbps mp3 compared to the same song's original wav file. As long as the equipment/cabling you're using is good enough to pick out the detail, you'll hear a difference.

SACD plays frequencies that only your dog will hear, but the whole recording sounds better, more bass and depth as well as excellent treble. You don't even have to go to SACD, JVC created XRCD which gives excellent results played on a CD player, trouble is unless you're mad on jazz or classical there's not much choice available.

I've got a Mobile Fidelity CD of Nevermind by Nirvana, it's just a CD but the recording process from the original master is improved. It sounds a lot better than the mainstream CD. If there's a difference between CD recordings of the same album, imagine what you're doing to the album with LAME!

Yeah well what I was wondering was if you had the same type of hearing quality as my brother in law. He can hear things at about the same pitch as our dog and hates all types of audio compression cause it ""Kills the Music"" :)

I guess if you can't notice the difference, there's no point in taking up precious disc space with large audio files when it can be used for better video. But from a music point of view, I backed my CD collection up using lossless audio codecs a while ago, no problem now with 1tb SATA drives at £75.

I want both audio and video quality for movies so I'm using single layer BD-R's now. Just wish BD50's would hurry up and come down in price!

I use Hibernation and it works very well on Vista

Unfortunately, hibernation is kinda useless for this purpose. For instance, you can't use RipBot264 in XP, hibernate, then boot into Vista (or any other OS), as hibernation blocks the boot-menu, and basically just allows you to either delete the hibernation data and resume regular boot, or to continue from hibernation. In other words: once hibernated, you can't use your machine for anything else! And the whole point of suspending RipBot264 jobs, is precisely to go and do something else with your machine.

So, ideally, I'd let RipBit264 do its work during the night, whereas i could interrupt it for daytime, only to resume encoding again at night.

~30%....

[Bigmango]

When I start version 1.11.4 I get "failed to get data for 'mjpg' ".

This is on vista x64.


edit: and then when I try to add a new m2ts file I get a directshowsource error "couldn't open c:\temp\Ripbot264temp\job0\video.mkv"

... and why is it talking about an mkv file when I am trying to open an m2ts file ??

Does this key exist on x64? If does not exist tell me where FFDShow stores those data on x64 OS.

I also dun have it on vista 32 home premium. Same error too.

I dun seem to have a default folder under the ffdshow_vfw.

I have both installed, but ripbot always used the 32bit one (as all of the 32bit apps do).
