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

[soneca]

Atak, in any future version could come back with the option(.ini) to minimize to the taskbar?
For the tray it is annoying to check the tempo of the encode unless the status was shown when the cursor is on top.

[Shrekage]

Is there any way to have the encoding client shut down the servers, without shutting down the client? I am running a client that is NOT encoding, and I wish that machine not to shut down, but have the servers shut down when encoding finished

[byteshare]

@MAX9
No. Normal non anamorphic resolutions get --sar 1:1. (=no scaling during decoding). Only 1440x1080 gets --sar 4:3 (~1.3333)
Sorry, I don't think I was clear. I was implying for situations that are not 4:3, 1:1, 16:9, such as when you crop.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Croping does not change anything in this case. Still --sar 1:1 will be used.

You can choose the pcs that will shut down, and those who won't

@Atak

After one major update (can't remember which) when the main PC freezes, or restarts, generally everything unexpected happens

when I restart the program it doesn't see the finished chunks in temp folder to continue from that point, and restarts the job, massive waste of time

[LazyNcoder]

Hi,

Something weird is happening to me. Since the last update, if I choose in AviSynth to resize the content to HD-Ready, the "info.txt" file in the job directory will be deleted. and I'll get the following error:


---------------------------
Application Error
---------------------------
Exception EFOpenError in module EncodingClient.exe at 0002418E.

Cannot open file "E:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\info.txt". The system cannot find the file specified.


---------------------------
OK
---------------------------


If I change it back to no resize, the file will be created and everything is fine.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Most likely result of buggy ResampleMT plugin. Make sure that you have video=Spline36Resize() in your script instead of video=Spline36ResizeMT()

[Shrekage]

can you adjust the encoding client windows to show 16 rows instead of 14?

[Shrekage]

Is there any way to increase the CPU utilization of the encoding process when using the denoise option MDegrain (SLOW) seems like it is slow because it is not multi-threaded. (on that machine, even with DE enabled and all 16 encoders targeted to that machine, only about 60% utilization occurs...)

Add --opencl-bin %TEMP%\x264_lookahead.clbin to your encoding profile

http://i.cubeupload.com/6pASEP.png

This command should tell x264 encoder to create .clbin file locally on each PC working in DE mode.

Snajpera, sorry for the late response. Been traveling a lot. So when I place that command in the encoding settings:
http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo54/pcubillos/Issues/EncSettings.jpg
So when I start the encoding process all the server start and stop, start and stop, repeatedly. Here is the error that I get at the encoding server level/window:
http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo54/pcubillos/Issues/EncError.jpg

If I remove the command, everything works find except for the "OpenCL: unable to open clbin file for write" error as before.

Now on a different note, this OpenCL command or option is to force the encoder to use the graphic Processor as opposed to the CPU or is it for denoise only? Sorry for the noob question...

[Atak_Snajpera]

1) make sure that all your pcs use updated EncodingServer.exe (version 1.7.3)
2) remove --opencl-bin %TEMP\.... command from profile. Since last update this command is automatically added.

Now on a different note, this OpenCL command or option is to force the encoder to use the graphic Processor as opposed to the CPU or is it for denoise only? Sorry for the noob question...
lookahead task in x264 is calculated on GPU so this means more CPU cycles for other tasks.

[Viper714]

1) make sure that all your pcs use updated EncodingServer.exe (version 1.7.3)
So to verify what version I have, I right click and do properties on the file. Under details I show file version 1.7.2.0.
I ran the updater and it still shows the same version. In reviewing the updater log, that files was not replaced or included in the update.
Next I downloaded the latest version of ripbot264 from the first posting. I extracted the files and copied the "encoding server.exe" file over. Under details I show file version 1.7.1.0. ( that's not good).

Can you please confirm where I can download it? I think I may have missed something...

2) remove --opencl-bin %TEMP\.... command from profile. Since last update this command is automatically added.
Done!!

@ Viper714,

I recently checked my version the same why you have, and after the latest auto updates, I DO have v1.7.3.0 !!!

Maybe you could try downloading the .7z of 1.20.0 version of Ripbot, then run the auto update from that, and it should get ALL the updates since that build (that's what I recently did, seems to be working OK).

Cheers

[dvdboy]

Apologies if this has already been covered, I've tried searching the thread but haven't found any relevant posts.

I'm looking at AMD's Threadripper, and as I understand it, the likes of x264 / x265 won't fully use the CPU usage when running on a single 'job'.

Is it possible with Ripbot to 'distribute encode' a file on a single machine, so spawn 4 encoding jobs and each job in parallel encodes 25% of a file and stitches them back together? Is there a guide, or some documentation that someone can point me at?

Many Thanks

Activate distributed encoding mode with 2-3 servers.

[howzz]

i apologize in advance. but i searched for the keyword "FFAudio Source: No Audio Track Found" and could not get and hits on this problem. Ripbot has always worked for me, but recently, not sure if it's some of the new releases, i am not getting this error message (see attachment), when i load a mkv movie for conversion. i am on the latest 1.20 version of ripbot.

my workflow video source is always H264, and audio input is always losless DTS-HD or TrueHD. it only started recently.

what do i do. i tried updating Haali, but i already have the latest version. help!:(

[Atak_Snajpera]

howzz you will have to send me some sample.

[jandor]

Hi, Atak
The RipBot264 is excellent, as always.
And I really enjoyed the latest version.
But I've felt the lack of an activation button or a checkbox for anamorphic mode.
Mainly for Custom Sizes.
In order to optimize from 4:3 to 16:9 television format or Aspect ratio.
SD-NTSC 720x480 [1,33:1] ... It is anamorphic, but I want to have the option to work with higher Resolutions.

Encoding settings -> AviSynth Filters -> Size -> Custom (anamorphic)????

Example:
https://s26.postimg.org/5hti9eyi1/anamorphic.png

Pardon, if that has been previously reported. Thanks!

[Atak_Snajpera]

Are you upscaling from 720x480 to 1080x720?

[jandor]

Are you upscaling from 720x480 to 1080x720?


Yes! Playback becomes much more comfortable for Full HD TV.
Only in this case (DVD video), more than that (1080x720) would not be necessary.

I edited the previous post.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Why don't you let TV to do upscaling on fly? Currently you are only increasing bitrate and encoding time for no extra detail during playback.

[jandor]

I understand you, but I was looking for the optimization of the anamorphic way, because it would already be automated from the origin.
If RipBot allows me to, I accept the risk of more time and larger file size.

Just an option to "force the anamorphic"... something like: "Use when necessary".

Thank you for your attention.

File m2v + ac3 does not allow automatic cutting (Crop Automatically), and freezes the RipBot. No support for M2V?
I need to use the ImagoMPEG-Muxer (https://www.videohelp.com/software/ImagoMPEG-Muxer) application and transform the m2v + ac3 to VOB.

Hello. Not used ripbot in a while, quite a while in fact and have ran into a problem.

I have all the necessary additional tools installed, haali, avsynth, etc. When I load a file into ripbot, it takes ages to demux, even though I have 3 HDs. Once the file is finally demuxed, ripbot just sits there with the, "please wait, gathering information" message, and nothing happens at all. I have to abort the process.

I am running:
Ryzen 8 core 1700@3.70ghz, no overclocking.
16gig DDR4 3600mhz.
Windows Pro 64bit.

Regards....

[jandor]

The RipBot, by means of the PgcDemux, among other tools, already works very well with DVD files and practically excludes the incidence of delay.
But when we use a unique VOB file of unknown origin, then we often come across a delay. This way we can facilitate the encoding of RipBot.
For this particular case I tested many tools, and this was the safest process.
After that this VOB file will marry well with the RipBot.

Procedures (Mux/Demux - no encoding and no compress): Image1 (https://s26.postimg.org/iukxrxxgp/Re_Jig.png) - Image2 (https://s26.postimg.org/di0orjyy1/Imago.png)

Are you using batch mode? If so try doing the video in question with just the add button (not batch mode) and see if you get more detail. I have to do this sometimes.

[Asmeralde]

Hello

I've run into an odd thing on two different PCs running windows 10

- Setup a job
- Enable distributed encoding
- Check that ripbot264temp is properly shared
- Start job

When I click start job the network share of ripbot264temp is removed and ripbot264 fails at indexing the file.

Now If I'm quick and manage to reshare the ripbot264temp directory while ripbot is copying tools, it will proceed to encode in a normal way right until the next item in the queue and the share will be removed again automatically.

I've tried searching the thread but I haven't found anything that could help me.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on?


Hello. First of all thank you. I use ripbot264 for 8 years now. Now I pass the upper step using distributed encoding but i have exactly the same problem as the one indicated above. Do you have a solution for this problem? Thank you.

PS : Using ripbot264 1.20 . The issue appears with non-English versions of Windows. Tested on 3 new Windows install. The shared folder problem is not on the English windows...

Did you only add the language or change the locale? You can see the current CP by entering chcp enter, for Korea it's probably CP 949. Don't try unicode in batch in Win 7, it's broken, on Win 10 it works.

Is there an official statement to the use of Avisynth+? Rather by chance I found a checkbox in settings "Avisynth+ MT". In forum I found no docu for this.

I really need the high bit depth and REC.2020 support, so I installed Avisynth+. On Add of avs I get error messages:

avs2pipemod.exe doesn't work anymore
ffprobe.exe doesn't work anymore
ffmpeg.exe doesn't work anymore

However my "old" avs are still added and correctly encoded by RipBot264 1.20, even if with some avs there appears an error message while encoding.

I assume RipBot distribution doesn't have Avisynth? Please clarify.

avs2pipemod.exe doesn't work anymore
avs2yuv.exe doesn't work anymore

I have 2 questions regarding hardcoding subtitles from .mkv to .mp4.

1) is there a way to change the font type and size for the subtitles? I would like it to be "Univers CW 45 Light" and size "41"
2) Are there any plans to have the hardcoded subtitles feature available in Batch mode without having to edit each file? I wish it could allow you to select Subtitle 1 of subtitle 2, etc, and then use that selection for all the file in batch. In my particular case, Narcos and Game of Thrones only had 1 subtitle and it was only the Forced for foreign speaking parts. It would be a great feature if you could select it similar to how the audio is selected.

Having an issue with 64bit AVISynth and the most recent update.
I'm on Encoding Server v1.8.0.0
AViSynth+ .01 (r2508, MT, i386)

The problem is I know that I installed both the 64bit and 32bit versions and followed the update steps for r2508MT 64bit.
RipBot is still defaulting to 32bit.

I tried installing just the 64bit but then RipBot won't start.

-I bring up the 32/64bit stuff because avs2yuv.exe starts and then my encode stalls at "starting..." when the 2GB limit is hit.

-Not user if related, but I've noticed when the MT value in the setting is 0 (auto detect), I get Import("E:\!0-Trans\!2Tools\RipBot264v1.20.0\Tools\AviSynth plugins\Scripts\MTmodes.avs")
#PREFETCH_LIMIT=2/8/10 for different videos in the queue, and not a consistent value.

I've noticed I get this error sometimes and not others:
List Index out of bounds (5)

I was getting it sometimes when turning off MT and Turning on MT when the auto refresh was happening after playing settings.

--Should say when MT is off I don't get close to the 2GB limit and encoding works fine.--

[slalom]

How do you change audio from dts-hd to dts?
Add audio file to ts-muxer
select downconvert dts-hd to dts

It's been working like this for years

[Atak_Snajpera]

RipBot is still defaulting to 32bit.
Because all plugins are still 32bit.

I bring up the 32/64bit stuff because avs2yuv.exe starts and then my encode stalls at "starting..." when the 2GB limit is hit.
You will have to reduce prefech limit significantly because it looks like you are using some very demanding filters.

-Not user if related, but I've noticed when the MT value in the setting is 0 (auto detect), I get Import("E:\!0-Trans\!2Tools\RipBot264v1.20.0\Tools\AviSynth plugins\Scripts\MTmodes.avs")
#PREFETCH_LIMIT=2/8/10 for different videos in the queue, and not a consistent value.

Formula looks like this
PREFETCH_LIMIT:=RoundToEven(1000000/(FrameWidth*FrameHeight)*16)

With active MDegrain2 denoiser memory consumption should be always below 1GiB regardless of the frame size.
