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

[TwoToad]

Could we get the option to encode to 160kbps AAC in an MP4 file?

[Ajax_Undone]

I like the installer AJAX, but I am still unable to read an m2ts (Bluray) file. I uninstalled everything before using your installer (RipBot 264, MatroskaSpilter, ffdshow,AVISynth-258, MEGUI and DVDFab.

I ripped the disc to the hard drive and I get the following error in Media player classic.
DirectShowSource: couldn't open file C:\....\00001.m2ts: Cannot play back the file. The format is not supported. (C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs,line 1).

What else do I need to get RipBot working?

Ok upload a sample of the file and we will be able to help otherwise we are in the dark as far your problem is concerned...

Do you have any other issues with the operating of your PC...

If so then all I can see is probably a reinstall of the entire os...

Sorry

I figured it out the video I was trying to use wasn't decrypted correctly. Now I've gotten it running to the point where it says normailzing audio so I'll see if it works from there :).

[topsham]

I've just bought the Planet Earth box set in HD DVD format (because they were much cheaper than Blu-ray) and would now like to convert each one hour episode to a AVCHD DVD5 to play on my PS3.

I have tried using TSMuxer to separate the audio and video streams and Ripbot264 to make the AVCHD files but Ripbot264 won't accept the VC1 file.

I also tried using TSMuxer to create an m2ts file but Ripbot264 said there was no audio even though Media Player Classic could play it fine!

Can anyone advise the best way to go about this please?

[~bT~]

i also find that when i resize, and i ask it to automatically crop to keep the OAR, i still get the padding of the black bars, i thought it was because i was playing it in fullscreen on my laptop, but when i resize the image from fullscreen, it takes the bars, as an integral part of the movie

how can i REALLY remove them?

remove the addborders() line from the avs script.

Send me 50 mb sample. Also you may try to remux evo to mkv with eac3to.

Thank you for that. What's the best way to chop it to 50MB and how do I sent it to you? Sorry, I'm new to this.

[Ajax_Undone]

The change log was not updated in the last installer and I forgot to add a shortcut to it so check out the latest it in my sig as always...

PS. The Setup Project Archive will be updated by sunday this week.

Thanks alot Atak_Snajpera and anyone else involved for the more precise dts overhead calculation. So far so good on 3 movies here, all within 2 MB of its target. I will report if I ever have a problem but It looks very promising so far.

Have you had the chance to look into the .sup overhead I mentioned earlier by chance?

Only really good for 1080p bluray currently but alot easier then suprip\supread. It would be much appreciated.

Wow, RipBot264 seems the only program so far that managed to do what I wanted, hassle-free: convert 1080p VC-1 stream to AVC. Thanks!

One question, though, is there a lossless Profile? I couldn't find one (v. 1.9.6). If not, how can I max out the quality? I want the absolute best quality there is (as I'm not interested in compression, but merely need an AVC stream for compatibility reasons with the PS3).

Again, thanks!

[Atak_Snajpera]

If not, how can I max out the quality?
level 4.1 gives max quality :) If you are really in crazy mood you can always use ESA + RDO Level 2. One more thing. Don't complain if encoding will be VERY slow,ok?

This is the link to the sample. http://www.mediafire.com/?5ithdgyzbgy Thanks for all your help.
Thanks! I will add support for HD-DVD (.evo) in next version but I need you to show me file name structure in HVDVD_TS directory. (screen shot)

Thanks for replying! I have a quad-core, and I can wait about 5 hours or so, it said -- well within acceptable limits. Also, comsidering how delighted I am your program finally does what I wanted, the wait is inconsequential. :)

Since I see you're taking requests, lol, will the next version of RipBot264 support Hadamard Exhaustive Search (TESA) too?

I have also included a clip of American Gangster as I'm finding it impossible to identify the English audio track in it. Any ideas? Thanks for your help and a brilliant program.

Pfew. :) It took approx 10 hours (1080p), constantly keeping my 4 cores at 100% burn. But the result is spectacular!

A (semi) important question, though: where do you keep the tmp files? Can you set the location of the scratch-disk? I'd hate to run out of disk space after 9 hours of rendering! :)

[Ajax_Undone]

The INI file in the install directory allows you to set the temp directory...

Hello all,

very good work, thx!!!

I tried to "shrink" my Die Hard 4.0 (Euro) bluray disc to a blu-DVD9 as a first test run ;-)
AnyDVD ripped it to the hard disc, no problem so far. I chose the 4.1 profile, 8150 as target size and the german DTS source. I created a ISO image with imgburn, mounted it with daemon tools and tried to play it with PowerDVD 7.3 (latest update). PowerDVD recognized the image and started to play, but only for a few seconds. I can search/skip, no problem, but the video stops playing after 2-10 seconds depending to the scene, audio will play.

Any ideas? Is it a problem in PowerDVD, deamon tools ... ? Should I try it to burn in on DVD-9 disc?

Thx,

[asarian]

^^ You did burn it as UDF 2.5, right?

Yes, I "burn" it as UDF 2.5, imgburn recognized the structure and posted that it might be a blu-ray disc.

Playing the 00001.m2ts (in dir STREAM) as "standalone" with mpc, it's working perfect! Audio AND video are playing until I press stop ;-)
Is there any problem with PowerDVD and blu-ray on a DVD or as image?

Thx!!!

[~bT~]

unable to add aac audio (in mp4 container produced by megui) into mkv or mp4.

no support for d2v input? no option of saving jobs list?

I don't let RipBot264 do my audio. Why bother? When it's all done, I just use tsMuxeR to join the new AVC stream with the original audio track.

The 00001.m2ts plays also in PowerDVD without disruption, but here only video ...

Is there a way to add folders of files to the job queue?

[Ajax_Undone]

No! Sorry

I think this is probably more related to x264 itself, and I'll post a note there also, but, it seems that it's taking very little if any advantage of my multi-core system. on my single CPU Athlon64 2.20Ghz (Athlon 64 3400+) a 720x480 video will run at between 2.6 and 6.8fps taking a 24minute video roughly 2 to 3 hours to encode. using the same source file and the same options, on my dual-core athlon x2 1.68Ghz system, it does just about the same, which could be easily explained by sse3, ssse3 and the improved design of of an x2's single CPUs, but it seems that there's no gain from the second CPU at all. does x264 maybe need a command line option to use a second CPU?

Well, it better do something with my quad-core, as I physically see all 4 cores at 100%. :) But it would be nice to get some confirmation on this.

[Sarreq Teryx]

hrmm, how fast do your encodes run?

[asarian]

hrmm, how fast do your encodes run?

Depends. A 1080i source, all with insane high settings, around 10 hours; a full 1080p movie around 20 hours.

[Sarreq Teryx]

so my reply from the x264 thread was that it is a command line option which is off by default
--threads auto
I think the default is "--threads auto", which will detect the optimal number of threads for your computer (threads = 3/2 * cores)Default is singlethreaded, which, well, I disagree with that default :pis that being used?

So now, yes, please, let's hear back from the RipBot264 guy, and see what he actually uses. :)

Nero 8 will do it too, but the process is a little convoluted and takes just as long. I usually use Nero to convert the stream to an MPEG2 file. It's a bigger file but takes less time.

I'm gonna use RipBot tomorrow. I'll let you know how long it takes on a single core 3.8G. Got a reference file with the time it took?

[kri kri]

o0 I would assume the "[ Level 3.0 ] iPod, iPhone" preset, wouldn't you?

No I have one with a 320x240 screen, I thought the ipod profile was for the new ipod touches.

[Sarreq Teryx]

No I have one with a 320x240 screen, I thought the ipod profile was for the new ipod touches.I think the only thing you have to do after picking your profile is to set the resolution to 320x240 in the video properties

Thank you I appreciate it. Could we get a "ipod classic" profile author?

[topsham]

I set Ripbot off yesterday evening processing a 50 minute m2ts file to blu-ray. The original was 7GB and I wanted it to fit on a standard dvdr.

The first pass had both cores of my c2d 2.33gzh at 100% and it took about 4 hours. Since it started phase 2 x264.exe has only been using 50% of each core and Ripbot no longer predicts how long the process will take.

Is there any way I can tell if it is still doing something or stuck in some endless loop? The process has taken 20 hours so far!

[~bT~]

^ try hovering your mouse over the ripbot264 icon.

[topsham]

I've tried that. It just gives me the path to the original file and the path to its temp file which is worryingly only 1kb.

[~bT~]

In system tray??

[topsham]

In system tray??
Yes. I've stopped it now. I was convinced it wasn't doing anything.

After some more testing with 1.9.6 and DTS I did see some that were oversized. Here is the results I've written down.

sorry guys, i have a little question

i use ripbot for convert my bluray in .m2ts, because megui don't do this, but with ripbot is possibile choose more audio file? or is possibile choose only 1 file .ac3 or .dts ? because i want make a m2ts movie with more languages.

thanks for the support.

[asarian]

Hmm, I guess subtitles are a bit of a no-go. :(

I tried adding a .sup file ("Build in"), but RipBot264 trips on it, and says (in preview):

TextSub: "Can't open R:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\0006.sup"

Riight. And then RipBot264 just says it's "Done" with the job altogether. Riight.

Anyone know of a solution?

I'd do what I do: don't bother with audio in RipBot264. Just let it convert video; then use tsMuxeR to remux an audio stream (or more) in later.
