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

[phred1]

Fresh install of Win 10 Pro, new download of RipBot264 (v1.22.0).

At first run of Ripbot: complains over missing Haali Media Splitter so I download and install it.

At second run: starts fine, I add a file for conversion and click OK. In the bottom of the app window progress info flashes by. Last text I see is "Gathering information.." then a more-or-less empty window opens saying "Decoding Error".

I've tried updating to v1.22.1 but the issue persists. What am I doing wrong?

In the file "test.log" the last line is "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs: Unknown error occurred"

BTW, thanks for a great app!

Try using an image service as attached photos don't tend to get approved. Sounds like AVISynth might not be installed correctly. If you go the job (click on it) and click Edit > AviSynth > Preview Script does it work or do you get an error (might need to click play to see if you have an error).

Is it possible to have a manual option for the crop settings in the batch mode rather than only auto crop?

Cropping manually in batch mode may be dangerous! You may easily crop to much!

Sweet, that did it! Thanks!

I completely agree, but when I'm working with a batch of file with all the same crop it is nice to have them uniform. Sometimes the auto crop decides to under crop as well.
Currently, I'm working with some old DVDs and I'd rather over crop by 2px then under...trying for a simple 4px on the left and the right.

Another question,
I've been generating time codes for variable frame rate files manually for a while then importing them back into the encoded file afterwards. I've seen at least one other application do this automatically but it isn't as awesome as RipBot. This comes up with cartoons generally older ones, and/or on DVD. Often they are trying to save work by having 1 frame stay for longer or slow frame rate in spots, etc...

A batch to add timecodes looks like:
FOR %%A IN (*.mkv) DO "..\mkvtoolnix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "..\output\%%A" --timecodes "0:%%~dpnA.mkv.avs_timecodes.txt" "%%~A"
AVISynth Script for exporting timecodes from a file looks like:
video0 = FFVideoSource("C:\FileName.mkv", timecodes="C:\FileName.mkv_timecodes.txt")

Don't know if you can export timecodes from the source from MKVMerge directly? Just thought about it for the first time lol.

Create custom script and save it in Tools\AviSynth plugins\Scripts\Custom

CropDVD.avs (left,top,right,bottom)
#Crop
video=Crop(video,2,2,-2,-2)

Do not forget to select this script in batch mode!

I've installed win10 PRO x64 (german version) on virtual machine and audio normalization works flawlessly. Problem is definitely on your side. That's gonna be all from me regarding this issue.

@dracore
use eac3to to extract ac3 core from extracted .thd file.

[iSeries]

Im having the same issue as Wishbringer - I have increase centre channel ticked in the general settings menu, and within the job I have normalise set (AC3 2.0 192kbps). Muxing fails because the audio job didn't run. If I double click the .cmd job nothing happens.

Yes I know. I've already fixed that. They really like to change that particular part in html code. Almost exactly one year ago they did the same.

[BabyPuncher]

One minor QoL suggestion: Add "HDR to SDR conversion" option to the New Job dialog. I like to queue up 4k and 1080p rips of the same content. Having to manually switch the option off after RipBot is done processing the 1080p versions limits how many jobs I can set and forget.

That only happen to me when FFMpeg crashed in DE mode, then it missed to encode the last few frames and that makes the audio out of sync. So if you use DE mode, then make sure all the parts have been encoded properly by checking the 1.txt, 2.txt.... in the chunks folder see if the among of encoded frames match the expected input frames.

I had 4 jobs give me this error over the weekend. This is during the muxing at the end. Not sure why because other files of the same audio/video specifications didn't error out.
I am taking EAC3 5.1 (for 3 of the files) and AC3 5.1 and encoding them down to 2.0 OPUS 64bit....just a fast encode since I can't easily have "no-audio" as an option when batching and "copy audio" takes up too much space for some DTS files when I let the computer run for weeks without deleting files. I know that I'm using EAC3 here and not DTS but it is more of a default setting in this case.

Does audio decoding work in "Preview Script" in this job23?

[iSeries]

byteshare is having the same problem as me (and wishbringer I believe). The muxing fails with that message because the audio job hasn't run (or wasn't successful for some reason) so the audio file doesn't exist. I am also downmixing to 2.0 if that helps.

[byteshare]

Does audio decoding work in "Preview Script" in this job23?
It is really choppy but I can hear audio...my filters are giving me a slow FPS.

Update: hasn't happened again with the last few encodes. I'd just like an option to not have audio selected by default when running a batch job, but that is because I'm used to having my audio done separately with a different program.

I have a Dolby Atmos file from a UHD where FFIndex fails and the batch import failes with "No Audio Track Error"

The demuxed *.thd file is fine, but the FFindex file is only 73 byte.

1_audio_English.thd.ffindex 73

With a previous movie I removed the audio from the input mkv file and then manual muxed it afterwards. But is there anyway to fix this ?

[manson.reznor]

Many thanks for the job on ripbot264.

Ripbot264 works fine to recode UHD files keeping HDR.

But there is plan to add UHD Bluray output ?
Because I want to re-create UHD BD from 4K HDR files.

Also Cuda or AMD App will be supported for 4K HEVC encoding ?

I think CloneBD is perhaps what you are looking for. I don't think RipBot264 ever output Blu-ray disc structure (or DVD for that mater) format.

I think you will need some kind of Blu-ray UHD authoring software.

[manson.reznor]

CloneBD like DVDFab can only output 4K UHD structure from original structure - not from a MKV.

An I want to play recoded discs on any UHD players. I don't want MKV because compatibility on almost all UHD players...

Try to uncheck "Limit to the following filter" in settings and make sure "Use multiple processing threads" is set to 0 if not already.

If that dosnt improve speed, then try activate the Distrubted Encoding (DE) and start a second Client Server (you find the exe in ripboots folder), then it will run 2 instance of the encoder which should help you to max out your CPU.

What is cpu usage? If below 100% then activate DE mode with extra servers.

the cpu usage is 47% max so i will look into what you said and thank you for getting back to me :)

ive added the encode to run on 12 servers as 6 just uses half of the cpu but no matter what i try i can not get 12 servers to be active encoding - is there somthing im missing

You need to provide more information about your settings/script and so on. I do not even know where to start with questions...

[dracore]

i have it encoding fine now but after a while i get an ntdll.dll error is this fixable please

[Atak_Snajpera]

post your script.

Are you recompressing audio? Is source audio True-HD?
Atak:
Sorry for the late response. Work has been quite overwhelming lately.
I am not re-compressing. I am using the core audio file as I want to keep the Dolby, DTS, or Atmos coding. See settings below:

That only happen to me when FFMpeg crashed in DE mode, then it missed to encode the last few frames and that makes the audio out of sync. So if you use DE mode, then make sure all the parts have been encoded properly by checking the 1.txt, 2.txt.... in the chunks folder see if the among of encoded frames match the expected input frames.

GZZ:
I must apologize first as I am a noob when it comes to in-depth encoding details. I do not use DE mode (I think this means Denoise). I am able to find the .txt files, but where can I find the "expected input frames" count to see if it matches?

DE is Distrubuted Encoding and the txt file I talk about you will find in the chunck folder, not the interface. But if your not using DE, then forget about it.

Ahh!! Okay I do use Distributed Encoding (DE). So I looked at the file "DE_log_pass1.txt and found the following

Node Address : 192.168.1.5:1000
Encoded Chunks : 21 of 125 (17%)
Encoded Frames : 30244
Encoding Speed : 9.84 fps
Node Work Time : 00:51:12
-----------------------------------
Node Address : 192.168.1.5:2000

-----------------------------------
Node Address : 192.168.1.6:1000
Encoded Chunks : 26 of 125 (21%)
Encoded Frames : 37468
Encoding Speed : 12.98 fps
Node Work Time : 00:48:06
-----------------------------------
Node Address : 192.168.1.6:2000
Encoded Chunks : 26 of 125 (21%)
Encoded Frames : 37830
Encoding Speed : 13.28 fps
Node Work Time : 00:47:28
-----------------------------------
Node Address : 192.168.1.8:1000
Encoded Chunks : 31 of 125 (25%)
Encoded Frames : 44623
Encoding Speed : 15.88 fps
Node Work Time : 00:46:50
-----------------------------------

So if I add the chunks encoded by each machine I get 125. When looking in the "Chunks" folder, it starts from 1 and continues sequentially to 125. All of the chuck numbered files "###.264" range from 19,699 through 180,271.
So I guess this is good as it does not show any missing chunks.

The problem before the FFMpeg fix, was incomplete chuncks. Lets say you have chunck 4 and it crash midway, then it would only have encoded like 40% of the expected frames in the chunck, but before version 1.22.1 it would assume the chunck was completed and when it merge them all together the audio would go out of sync after this incomplete chunck. I normally just check the complete file and see if audio is in sync for the last part of the movie and if so, then everything should be fine.
