Mine is working too BIG :thanks:
Should we use network path or local path to add the jobs?

I think it doesn't matter, because in the files chunks\X.avs now always the demuxed video-file video.mkv from \\YOURSERVER\RipBot264temp\jobX\video.mkv is read.

I assume local or network path is only used on the server for demuxing and indexing the movie. In one case the original-
movie is read from the local disk directly, and is read via network path with TCP-loopback. The difference in speed is marginal (not present).

Still have this issue 4K and seamless branching. Just had to go through this with Ralph Breaks the Internet and Snow White and the Huntsman Extended edition. RB still throws and error when pulling in a mkv that has a TrueHD stream in it. Though I suspect that is caused by it being the first audio stream? Next time I'll remux it and make it the second audio stream to see if the error still occurs.

Remuxing to make TrueHD the second audio stream instead of the first allows the mkv to be pulled in. RB shows the AC3 as the first stream and THD as the second stream.

Had to do the makemkv route first for Wreck-It Ralph as it has seamless 4K branching.

Another item about batch encode. I've just started using this feature to pull in TV episodes. I've been using makemkv to make the individual episodes and then pulling them in. I seen an option for rendering subs but not an option to render only forced subtitles and remux the others. Can a manual crop option be added. I've hit an issue sometimes that RB does not correctly determine thecrop and it would be nice for me to put in a manual crop for the batch of episodes being pulled in.

Atak, I cannot believe how long you've been supporting RB and only making it better as time goes on. I rely it daily. Thank you for continuing to produce such a great program.

Manual crop in batch mode can be easily achieved by using custom script
#Crop
video=Crop(video,0,0,-0,-0)

Like Atak said you can make a custom script with crop settings, or you edit the job***.avs files in the RipBot264temp folder to add in a custom crop. I recommend using NotePad++ since you can do this on several files at once with more advanced add/replace options with even having line breaks.

I would note if you don't edit the job***.ini file's crop settings you won't see the crop if you try to preview it/open the AVISynthScript section, if you only edit the job***.avs or use a custom script.

Completely agree.

Problem solved with latest update RB 1.24.1, the files chunks/X.avs are correct now.
Thanks @Atak!

Hi there! Could you let me know where you got 1.24.1 from? First page still links to 1.24.0 and auto-update doesn't seem to be increment to the .1 version.

Is there a way to split files (or even better, to only encode certain parts of a file)? I am looking to remove rolling credits from some episodes, but I don't see any way in the GUI to have the encoding split the file after X frame or timestamp.

Just open and close RipBot a few more times to get the update, or try editing your updater.ini to "LastCheck=" older than a year > Save > and then open and close RipBot and wait for the updater to finish getting files and then open RipBot again to get them installed.

I think you don't know how the RipBot264-updater works. I did the following for you again:

1. I downloaded https://www.mediafire.com/file/x5ueufb7in67dd5/RipBot264v1.24.0.7z/file (link from post #1)

2. unzip to any empty directory (e.g. c:\tools\RipBot264)

3. in c:\tools\RipBot264 there is now an empty folder "Updates"

4. now start RipBot264.exe

5. in the Windows-frame of RB v1.24.0 is noted

6. now look in the Updates-folder: if your internet-connection is ok, it will fill with files:
core.zip, ffms.zip, MediaInfo.zip, mkvtoolnix.zip, mvtools.zip, update.ini, x265.zip (in total about 55MB)

7. If you assume, that RB will do the update now automatically, you are wrong! You have to exit RB and start it again.

8. RB sees the files in the Updates-dir and installs the updates.
Then the RB-GUI starts with v1.24.1

Note:
"Auto Update" must be enabled in the RB-settings, but this is set by default, if you unzip the 7z-file

This worked for me!

Do not worry. I will be using different version for different codecs.
ffms2 2014 -> AVC
ffms2 2017 -> HEVC
ffms2 2019 -> VC1 and rest

Looks like ffms2 2019 is not frame accurate for some VC-1 sources. Blade Runner came out fine but two other sources showed corruption.

VC-1 is a nightmare.

Hello Atak Snajpera,

I'm here to post a Bug that I have since many weeks.

I couldn't post it till now cos new members can't do posts for some weeks.

I got here the new SW S*lo Movie switch give me that bug when I'm trying to add them to ripbot.

I tried Version 1.23 and 1.23.1.7

I also using Avisynth+ r2728-MT which is the newest version of it.

Any idea what I should do now?

Greetings Pad

Use MakeMKV first if eac3to can't process this particular movie.

Hello Atak_Snajpera,

thank you very much.
Your hint worked very well for me.
Finally found the time to test it :)

Btw. I found out that I have that problem it eac3to with every movie that is using Dolby Digital Plus aka EAC3 as soundfile.

While I need to use MakeMKV for a lot of movies now I noticed that its way fast when I use MakeMKV for all movies first than only use Ripbot.

When I use MakeMKV he reads with arround 150MB/Sec from me HDD.
What takes arround 5-7mins until its finished.

When I add this MKV File now on Ripbot it take way less time as when I let Ripbot demux directly from the Movie Image.

I have tested it on a few movies.
The transferrate of the HDD when Ripbot demux the Files from a image on an other HDD is at circa 20Mb/Sec.

I got here 1 SSD and 2 HDD with same Speed that is at arround 150-160MB/Sec

Have I maybe done something wrong that Ripbot is that slow on demuxing?

I mean Ripbot is an awesome tool for shrinking and all the other stuff.
But even when the image and the temp folder is on a SSD.
It takes forever until the movie is added and ready for editing.

I hope you understand what I mean :)

That may not work; mkvtoolnix can only split on keyframes, since it's not re-encoding the file. Ideally, we would be able to split the video directly in RipBot using the GUI.

No, it is keyframe based.
You can cut by frame if you either do it with avisynth or if you encoded t in raw first > cut > encode.

Is it possible to edit a file to add in custom bitrates to the drop down list? I know you can manually enter them in too but was wondering if I could just add them to the list and set a bitrate as the default?
You can set the "Default Encoder Settings" in the "RipBot264 Settings"
Change the "Encoding Mode" to "1-Pass" or "2-Pass" and type in your preferred "Bitrate"
Not sure about the dropdown list though because I don't see an option for that in the settings or RipBot264.ini

Try with KNLMeansCL only. I suspect a CPU bottleneck in your case.
MDegrain2 is very demanding on CPU and hence your CPU may not be able to deliver frames fast enough for your powerful GPU.

Yeah i think so, i will try and see, hope cpu and gpu can get maximum.
Also when i abort the encoding process in the half way, is there any setting to prevent the already encoded chunks being re-encoded from the beginning again when i re-start the encoding process?

Try using seekmode=0 in FFVideoSource. It may solve frame inaccuracy for the other codecs as well. However, no guarantee.

Afraid that did not fix the frame accuracy. Still corruption at the 4 minute mark when use DE.

RipBot has been behaving very strange for a long time and I've pretty much run out of ideas of how to fix it. Below is a list of things I've been experiencing. If anyone else has been experiencing any of this and knows a fix, please point me in the right direction:

- When adding any non-english track to either the audio or subtitles, RB will no longer automatically detect the language. It can only detect English tracks automatically now. Sometimes you can see the proper language being selected for a fraction of a second but then it reverts back to unidentified language.
- RB main app does not close properly when clicking the "x" button. The app will disappear from the main screen but the tray icon and executable in Task Manager stays. Trying to reopen the app from the tray icon causes it to become unresponsive. The only way to fully close the app is to kill the process in Task Manager.
- In distributed encoding, the encoding server does not fully start on the master system. The executable shows up in the Task Manager but the icon does not show up in the tray and will not respond to any commands sent to it from the encoding client, even while running on the same system.
- Remote Encoding servers fail to start encoding unless the shared folder has been browsed manually in Explorer. This happens even without any authentication requirements on the main system (no password, guest access = yes, etc).

Notes:
All of the above are continuing to happen, even on a freshly installed OS (Windows 10 Pro).
As of my last attempt to fix this, I am running the most recent version of RB264 (fresh install/unpack).
As far as I know, all dependencies have been installed (Java, AviSynth, etc). RB does is not warning me about any missing dependencies.
I am able to get the encoding server to work on a different system running Windows 10 Home as well as a virtual machine running Windows 7. The working systems have only the encoding server executable copied to them. No other parts of RB are installed or copied over.

I am not sure about all of your issues but I might be able to help with these:

1- RB main app does not close properly when clicking the "x" button. The app will disappear from the main screen but the tray icon and executable in Task Manager stays. Trying to reopen the app from the tray icon causes it to become unresponsive. The only way to fully close the app is to kill the process in Task Manager.
2- In distributed encoding, the encoding server does not fully start on the master system. The executable shows up in the Task Manager but the icon does not show up in the tray and will not respond to any commands sent to it from the encoding client, even while running on the same system.
3- Remote Encoding servers fail to start encoding unless the shared folder has been browsed manually in Explorer. This happens even without any authentication requirements on the main system (no password, guest access = yes, etc).

1 Make sure your Windows Mal-ware and/or anti-virus is excluding the RipBot folders and you are on the most recent version of RipBot (with updates)

2 I think is related to 3, but if you edit a job > AviSynth > Preview Script: is there an error? You might have to click in the seek bar and/or click play to see the image

3 Settings > Distributed Encoding > Authentication: Put your server's (main computer that has RipBot open) User name (might need to put your domain/computer name as well, like this "ComputerName\UserName" and Password, and have the "Automatically share RipBot264temp folder" checked.
There are other possible ways to fix this but I prefer this method.

No, not anymore. I actually found out that the encoding server was not running. It was being blocked by other programs in the wait chain. Very odd. I ended the program it was waiting on and it worked. But I have to do that every time I use RipBot now.

I need some advice! My current PC is now 7 years old and in need of an upgrade. I'm trying to decide between 2700x/9700k/9900k and I have read a few threads regarding lower x264 image quality when using too many threads.
Does this mean I should avoid the 9900k and stick with the 9700k or have I misunderstood?

That's nonsense, quality of x264/x265 encodings does not change with the type of CPU you are using (not even if AMD or Intel). The faster the CPU the faster your encodings will be at the same quality. Threads do not impact quality in any way just speed.

LigH

Threads do not impact quality in any way just speed.

Uhm, well ... many threads do limit the scope in some kinds of parallelism, too many threads may indeed limit the quality. But depending on several factors (frame dimensions, bitrate per frame pixels, preset ~ encoding efforts), the loss will probably be negligible.

I think x264 has hard thread limit at 24 in order to avoid any possible quality degradation.

This is what concerns me. Maybe I should go for 2700x and look to drop in a Ryzen 3xxx CPU next year for an easy upgrade. The only thing that puts me off that plan is 2700x seems to be a fair bit behind 9900k in x265 benchmarks.

That's why I recommend to wait for Zen2 with improved AVX2 performance. New Ryzen (8c/16t) will be on par with intel 9900k in x265. While 12C/24T variant will be proportionally faster. I predict that 12C will have similar price to 9900k.

Thanks for the advice. I guess you're right - I should probably wait.

One other question about x265. I have just recently started to try some x265 encodes but the output did not look that good compared to my x264 encodes.
Most of my x264 encoding is done at CRF18 "Very Slow" with "Film" tune. I realise that you cannot compare x264 settings to x265 but what is the closest equivalent x265 settings?
