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

[byteshare]

Atak,

Got a quick question. I have been converting some DVDs that are 720x480. The original source is 4:3, but for some reason after conversion, they are coming out 3:2 -- and on playback, are slightly stretched. I've tried 2 different options -- one without resize, and one resizing to NTSC SD -- and both give the same 3:2 result.

Is there any way to keep the 720x480 but have it display as 4:3? I've tried to force it using MVKToolNix, but it doesn't seem to take.

You can also use MKVToolNix to adjust the aspect ratio as that is really your only issue since the actual pixels are correct. Happens to me sometimes as well.
You can even use a batch file to edit the MKV info without remuxing the whole file.

Thanks for the suggestions. Just stumbled on an easier one -- just adding --sar 10:11 to the script forces a 4:3 aspect ratio with retained 720x480 size.

Found this actually using v1.20 that was writing that to script.

thanks all!

Good point. I was thinking if it happens after an encode.

Thanks for the info, worked like a charm! :D

Do I have to rename it to anything in particular?

[varekai]

Do I have to rename it to anything in particular?No, just add .bak to Install.cmd
--> Install.cmd.bak

[Jake802]

ok I have JAVA installed and it keeps telling me it is not. What will renaming this file actually do?

Not shure what you mean with JAVA installed?
Renaming Install.cmd to Install.cmd.bak will prevent RipBot to auto update, if you at some point want to update RipBot just remove .bak

[guest]

So, I just got the latest auto update (first one in a little while), and I was so hoping for a 3rd audio tab to have been added, so I must say I am a little disappointed, that there wasn't. :(

Hey - someone (I think it was Atak) helped me build a bluray compliant profile for x264....years ago. I've read through a lot of the documentation and forums on the options for x265, but there are a lot of options. Can someone assist in setting up something similar for x265?

x264 BluRay Profile:
--level 4.1 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --vbv-bufsize 50000 --vbv-maxrate 50000 --filter 0,0 --ref 4 --min-keyint 1 --keyint 24 --bframes 3 --b-adapt 1 --b-pyramid none --subme 7 --aq-mode 1 --trellis 1 --partitions all --me umh

My Attempt at x265:
--profile main10 --level 5.1 --output-depth 10 --hrd --vbv-bufsize 100000 --vbv-maxrate 100000 --ref 4 --min-keyint 1 --keyint 24 --bframes 4 --b-adapt 2 --no-b-pyramid --subme 3 --me umh --no-open-gop --aud --repeat-headers

I think some of these may not be needed as RipBot automatically sets some of them (b-adapt?). I'm also assuming that I don't need to flag any colormatrix/colorprim or related options as RipBot has the option in the GUI for 709/2020. Or, at least it did, I don't see those now. Maybe it auto detects now?

I believe RipBot requires Java 32bit.
Perhaps Atak can confirm that?

Have you tried removing Java completely and then reinstalling? I've had to do that in the past.

[iSeries]

Feature request, being able to select a preferred language in settings, so that only audio/subs in the preferred language get demuxed, rather than all of them

[activoice]

Same here Ripbot 1.23 is not detecting Java on one of my PCs... Works fine on 3 others.

I have tried uninstalling and deleting folders, deleted the old registry keys as well before reinstalling just 32 bit java, and it still won't detect it.

I think I saw that ripbot looks for a registry key to detect if java is installed, and that key is there on this PC and as far as I can tell what's in that registry key matches the registry of the PC's it works fine on..

I found a tool once for removing old java installs that helped me but I can't seem to find it again, sorry.

[activoice]

Yup I have tried uninstalling and verified that Registry keys were deleted with the uninstall, then reinstalled both the 64 bit and 32 bit versions.

I also made sure that I have the registry keys that I think Ripbot uses to detect that Java is installed:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment

Still having problems myself. I might have discovered something. When I delete Ripbot and reinstall it, it starts with version 1.22 and then works...for the first run. After I close it and open it again it checks for updates and installs 1.23 and then I get the Java can't be found message. I think this is repeatable, at least, it has been every time I have tried it.

[Atak_Snajpera]

run in cmd
java.exe -version 2> %TEMP%\java_version.txt

This problem only started happening after the update to 1.23, before that it detected Java fine.

"Automatic HDR information retention while encoding to HEVC format". Can this readout be considered reliable?

I have a lot of HDR movies willing to encode while maintaining the original HDR metadata.

Is it possible to keep more than 2 audio streams from the source? Is it allowed to replace encoders used by Ripbot with newer versions?

Thanks for the reply.

[Atak_Snajpera]

"Automatic HDR information retention while encoding to HEVC format". Can this readout be considered reliable?
This data is taken from mediainfo so It should be reliable. I do not see any complaints so far.

Is it allowed to replace encoders used by Ripbot with newer versions?
yes.

[mparade]

This data is taken from mediainfo so It should be reliable. I do not see any complaints so far.

I was asking just because of this statement: "due to the changes in mediainfo for Master-Display will not auto-load anymore. Since mediainfo removed the color coordinates. It only shows the colorspace now."

and this statement at forum of StaxRip: "The old version gave bad data readouts when it came to HDR10."

I have to embed the metadata correctly into the reencodes. I did not know that Ripbot is using the same program to read them out.

[guest]

mparade asked :- Is it possible to keep more than 2 audio streams from the source?

I just have to say something here :-

At this stage, Ripbot can only process up to 2 audio tracks...I have asked a couple of times if this can be increased to 3 (more would be even better), but as yet, no change :(

I tend to enjoy keeping the mkv title info from tacks so I manually remux subs and audio and/or use an outside tool to mux the audio back in after re-encoding it if more than 1 track (keep mkv title info).

So does that mean you re-encode video only with Ripbot ??

So what might this "outside tool" be ??

One good thing about Handbrake is, you can add & change as many audio tracks as you like / need.

[guest]

Hey guy's, just got the latest auto update, and Atak has performed his magic again...."we" now have up to 3 audio tracks :)

Thankyou, Atak !!

Hi Atak,

I just thought I'd report back on my use of Windows 7 SP1, over the last few months.

I haven't noticed any noticeable "improvement's" in the operation of Ripbot, since trying W7, as compared to my other pc's which are running Windows Server 2016.

I am still getting those annoying DE "chunk" / server stall's, which sometimes respond to stopping the particular Server IP, and letting another one take it's place, but sometimes I can't turn the offending server off, which leads me to my next comment...

The "Abort" command still doesn't work too well, rarely it will abort, but most times it just "says" it's aborting, but carry's on encoding, so the only option is the "kill it" with Task Manager, and even sometimes that doesn't completely stop everything, and a reboot is needed.

I'm not sure what the difference was between the newer "Abort" command, and the one you had in the DE window, that seemed to work every time.

That's about all I have to comment on....

Windows 7 has it's Pro's & con's, and so does Windows Server, but I'm not a fan of Windows 10 "1803".

Hi Atak,

Another update.... :)

Can I ask a BIG favour....it's was way back on the 13th of April, since you updated to version 1.23.00, but 1.22 is still on Mediafire, can you PLEASE post 1.23 on Mediafire, or even better, the very latest build.....

Cheers

Hello friends ripbot264 distributed coding Can we encode another computer on the internet? There is also a problem with windows 7 32 bit AviSynth + x64

[Ryushin]

How do I access old jobs before the update to three audio streams. At first it shows an error about not finding audiolist3.txt file so I copy audiolist2.txt to audiolist3.txt. The next error is shows is:
" is not a valid integer value.

So I'm not sure what I need to change in the older jobs.

I also seem to have uncovered a bug with 4k discs and seamless branching. If I rip the disc using anydvd and let Ripbot264 combine the m2ts files, I will get audio that is out of sync towards the end of the film. If I rip the disc using MakeMKV and make a mkv file and then use RipBot264 to process the mkv, the audio comes out fine. Problems occurred with King Kong, Independence Day, and Gladiator.

Yeah, of course I had the same problem, and tried what you did, same result.

If you haven't got a lot of job's queued, might be best just to reload.

Or, try "edit" the "old" jobs, and just pull in the source, again.

Fortunately, I only had about 2 jobs queued up.

But on another pc, I had a LOT in the queue, that pc hasn't been updated yet.

Any ideas why'd I'd get this error:
Cannot load file 'C:/RipBot264/Tools/AviSynth plugins/KNLMeansCL/KNLMeansCL.dll'. Platform returned code 126: The specified module could not be found.
This is using the preview tool. Preview works fine if I turn off KNLMeansCL or use MDegrain2 instead.
Using ....Windows 10 64bit

I get the same error code (126) when trying to load MedianBlur2.dll as well. Not sure if related.

Yea, I have about 90 jobs on that machine. I don't mind running a shell script to fix the jobs, but I do not know what it is complaining about. Perhaps Atak can make an update to allow editing of the older jobs.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I will release an auto-update shortly to address this issue.

Since today's RipBot update still getting: Cannot load file 'C:/RipBot264/Tools/AviSynth plugins/KNLMeansCL/KNLMeansCL.dll'. Platform returned code 126: The specified module could not be found.
Only on one computer with same version of RipBot and Windows but different hardware...guessing it is specific to this one machine.
It used to work before a format, not sure what would have changed.
I might try another format :(

So, batch scripting seems to want to be available, but is not. With v1.22.0, I have batch files loaded and want to add an AVS file that will apply to all files. There is a drop-down option entitled "CUSTOM SCRIPT" that has two options:
1) "Do not use custom script"
2) "ConvertToInterlaced.avs"
On older versions, there was an option to load custom AVS files. In 1.22, there is no such option and the drop-down is useless as it simply limits you to no custom script. Am I missing something here or is it now impossible to add custom scripting to batch processing?

You need to add the scripts to the custom folder in the:
..\RipBot\Tools\AviSynth plugins\Scripts\Custom
Once you add them, they'll show up as an option.
