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

[cypher007]

any chance I can have a feature added?

if I could choose the core of a DTS track within an MKV it would be very helpful, and mean I don't have to use BDtoAVCHD.

at the moment it doesn't let me choose core unless its a BD structure.

Most likely one of plugins in your script causes crash in avs2yuv.exe.
For example I have noticed that TextSub (VSFilter) sometimes crashes avs2yuv.exe in DE mode.

Yeah, what I was guessing. I'll just have to be careful with stopping the encoding server in the encoding client before I click close. Thank you.

I get a blank decoding error window.

all it says is decoding error, with no text in the window.

looking at temp folder i found: getAVSerror

"C:
cd "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\RipBot264\Tools\ffmpeg\bin\ffprobe.exe" -i "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs" >> "test.log" 2>&1
"

Can somebody send me Bluray 4k (HEVC) sample? For example whole structure with trimmed .m2ts files (less than 100 MB for each file is ok). I've noticed that eac3to added support for HEVC and I would like to check how this works.

Getting this since two days (haven't used RipBot for nearly a month, so don't know if error would have occured earlier.

Nevermind: Found that recent version is 1.21 and downloaded new zip from first post.

[nekrosoft13]

hmm... i'm getting massive memory leaks in 1.21

I'm using distributed encoding, the server running Ripbot has 32gb of ram and it consumes 100% of ram to the point of entire windows becoming unstable and crashing...

I did switch to MT version of AviSynth from the tools folder.

[nekrosoft13]

I had to turn off MT, otherwise the program is un-usable, it just consumes 30+GB of ram for AVS2YUV

[tkwou]

Hi I just updated to 1.21.0 from 1.19.6. It asked me to to update to Avisynth+ MT which I did. Now when I'm running a distributed encode I'm only getting about half the frame rate that I used to. None of the servers are running anywhere close to 100% CPU like they did before the update. Is there a new setting somewhere that I've missed?

[tkwou]

Sorry I didn't realize that I didn't install Avisynth+ correctly. Now that I have, all the servers appear to running properly at close to 100% utilization on all cores. Still the overall framerate appears to be lower than before the 1.21.0 update. I'm using 4 computers, an I7-2700K, I3 6100, Xeon-5450 and an AMD FX-8350. I could normally encode most movies in under an hour but now I'm atleast 25% slower.

Hi Atak_Snajpera thank for this program is awesome, i used this since v1.16 and never have a problem but with Avisynth+ MT i have the same problem of tkwou when i activate "use mutiple processing threads"

https://i.imgur.com/xCnjrfo.jpg

in both version v1.21.0 and old 1.20.X the program run strange slowy and the cpu work alternate, example for 30 seconds the fps count increase, then 5 seconds the fps count remains stationary and then another 30s work again, so for the duration of all file, and the first pass is extreme slowy, but if deactivate "use mutiple processing threads" in both version all run fine without any problem.
I have reinstalled program and Avisynth+ MT 3-4 time for test but same problem, i work in 2pass mode in distribuated encoded with one i5 3570k and one i7 6700k both without overclocking and windows 10.

ps. sorry for my english i'm italian and i have used google for help me to write this, I hope I was clear.

[Atak_Snajpera]

@tkwou and @ pinco1117

Yes disable that option if you do not perform any heavy filtering in script (for example deinterlacing with QMTC or denoising with MDegrain).
It was my mistake that I left that option ON by default.

[pinco1117]

Thanks very much, i now know if i use heavy filter activate it, you are the best.

[gabbett1]

I've had issues lately with Ripbot not wanting to encode. Here is what I see in the encoding server.

Encoding started...
""\\DESKTOP-PC\Ripbot264temp\tools\avs2yuv\avs2yuv.exe" -seek 0 "\\DESKTOP-PC\RipBot264temp\job1\Chunks\1.avs" -o - | "\\DESKTOP-PC\Ripbot264temp\tools\x264\x264_x64.exe" --opencl --opencl-device 0 --crf 18 --fps 24000/1001 --force-cfr --min-keyint 24 --keyint 240 --frames 1424 --sar 1:1 --level 4.0 --preset veryslow --aud --nal-hrd vbr --vbv-bufsize 25000 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --stdin y4m --output "\\DESKTOP-PC\RipBot264temp\job1\Chunks\1.264" -"

(\\DESKTOP-PC\RipBot264temp\job1\Chunks\1.avs, line 1)
y4m [error]: bad sequence header magic
x264 [error]: could not open input file `-'

Encoding terminated.

Nothing has changed on my end other than some IP work. I don't think this would effect things, but instead of having a default IP string from 192.168.1.1 it's been changed to 192.168.35.1

Again, I don't think this is the issue, but felt necessary to post any changes since the program last functioned.

I'm running on Windows 7 Pro

[tkwou]

Thanks Atak_Snajpera.

my server is a dual xeon (12cores) with total of 24 cores/48 threads

would you leave it on or off?

Are you using QMTC or MDegrain in your script?

[soneca]

RipBot264 changed his look, 4: 3 to 16: 9. Cool, new tidying up of Avisynth's tabs.
Is edge detection faster or is it my impression?

Solved. I reinstalled nvidia driver (same version) and it´s working again. Seems like FCU messes up nvidia drivers. Yesterday my HTPC had problems starting Kodi after Fall Creators Update, something with DXVA. I reinstalled the nvidia driver (the same version as before FCU) and that helped. MS should call it Fail Creators Update.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I'm not even surprised. Old story. New version=new problems.
I would totally reinstall gpu drivers.

[gabbett1]

Any ideas on my issue?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Are you using 1.21.1?

[gabbett1]

I'm using 1.19.4

[Atak_Snajpera]

That version was released more than year ago.

[gabbett1]

Yes, I haven't updated because it's been working fine.

[gabbett1]

Updated, now I'm having issues even getting a rip ready. Have an error:

ffprobe.exe - System Error

The program can't start because MSVCP140.dll is missing from your computer.

[gabbett1]

I'm fixing those issues, I'll update you if the program doesn't work still.

Hi Atak,

Some really nice changes in the new build 1.21.1, and just got another core update, now.

But could you please add a changelog.txt with each update, just so we know what you've been up to, instead of fumbling thru all the options & pages.

I'm sure this could be done easily. :thanks:

Another little cosmetic change that might be handy, is in the server window, (where all the chunks are shown), could that listing be auto scrolling, so once it's completed the 16 lines, it pop's up to the next line/chunk being processed, so that you always see active data....just a thought.

Cheers

[gabbett1]

Encoding is working now, but distributed encoding only partially works. The host computer can encode while the other computers try to encode and cycles between trying and going idle. Just repeats rapidly over and over.

[Atak_Snajpera]

You are not using latest version of EncodingServer.exe on your other PCs!

[dracore]

will ripbot be getting gpu accelerated x265 encoding support please

[Tazlord]

Is anyone else seeing this error when trying to launch EncodingServer on remote hosts?

"Avisynth+ MT x64 not installed!"

https://imgur.com/a/49epi

I have the most recent version of EncodingServer on all remote hosts and I believe the most recent AviSynth+ (just reinstalled AviSynth+ today).

Nevermind. The installer offered on the AviSynth+ website isn't the latest version. I had to manually install the latest DLL files myself.

[guest]

I can't help but think that Ripbot IS slower now.............

I have been doing a batch of 1080p x265 movies, "converting" them to 720p x264, with DE (all 16 servers) over 2 PC's (like I generally do), and it just seems slow :(

Anyone else ???

[Atak_Snajpera]

Disable "Use multiple processing threads"

Disable "Use multiple processing threads"

OK, will give that a try, thanks.

But I am using dual Xeon 6 core cpu's systems.

:thanks:

[gabbett1]

Actually I am, but I'm also getting the Avisynth+ x64 error. I don't know where to get the latest version because apparently the one that is linked doesn't fix the issue.

Edit: Fixed, thank you

Using 16 servers looks like overkill to me!

[guest]

Maybe, but I use 10 on the dual Xeon, and 6 on the client....
churns thru the encodes pretty well...hopefully disabling the multi threading will return the performance.

Is this a fairly recent addition ??

OK, well that is an interesting reference point, then.

So, you've told me to disable it, (is it disabled by default ?) and I'm using multi threaded cpu's, what is it really used for ???

[Atak_Snajpera]

That option is useful if you use heavy single threaded filters like MDegrain or QMTC deinterlacer.
Here is example 1920x1080 + MDegrain2 on my 16 thread CPU.

OMG, thanks for the detailed explanation....

I actually don't use MDegrain all that much...so what I'm thinking now is, for "normal" encodes, disable MT, and for MDegrain, etc, turn it on....

I will definitely give that a go !!.

See, sometimes it pays to ask a "noobie" question :) :thanks:

edit:-...OK, well that's done the trick alright....it's good to have good speed back on "normal" encodes.

I also did a MDegrain run on a pretty "dirty" 1080p Blade Runner, that was approx 18Gb, and after the encode down to 720p, with a fair bit taken out, it was only 1.5Gb, and took just over an hour to do.

[Atak_Snajpera]

According to my tests MDegrain2 can reduce bitrate in constant quality mode by factor of ~1.7x! I'm using it even on relatively clean movies.
I really like how it mainly removes those "dancing dots" without hurting too much real details.

So I'm curious how come you've added several "combo" filters in the recent builds ??

If MDegrain does such a good job by itself, why add the others ???

I mean, KNLmeans is sooooooooooo slow, and is GPU dependent, I haven't used it expect for a couple of times, when you first introduced it. If you haven't got several high end GPU's, whats the point.

Combo MDegrain2 + hqdn3d works very well on old anime. hqdn3d removes nicely those leftovers after MDegrain2.

Nice to be having a "masterclass" with the creator.....

OK, well, maybe for particular encoders/users, and would save multiple runs thru Ripbot, using different filters.

I generally use HQDN3D, but MDegrain2 seems to work well on most, and it seems to determine what it needs to do, "all by itself" :)

Don't have any old anime, but might work well on old DVD rips, which I have a LOT of.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I mainly use just MDegrain2 for regular movies and combo variant when I need that extra cleaning. Be careful to not overuse it.

Have you tried MDegrain with HQDeringmod?
typical values I use with HQDeringmod:
HQDeringmod(nrmode=2,Y=3,U=3,V=3,lsb=False,thr=255.0,darkthr=255.0)
