Hey guys, a nice new autoupdate...

Atak has been busy...there's a new Core, ES, EC versions, lsmash, x265, mpc, scripts, etc.

And apparently, NO Java, from now on :)

:thanks::thanks::thanks:

Since switching to only LSmash the good news is that the unicode naming thingy issue doesn't stop you from adding a job and encoding it, but the bad news (and it is a small thing) is the name changes:
"test ¡;#¦_“’` test.mkv" > "test í;#ª_ôÆ` test.mkv"

Question about the update, what is the number represent in the Encoding Client underneath each server in the black box with white text?

Hey byteshare, in reference to your question, I asked that a long time ago, and here's the answer.... 2) post #18045

The update in 1.25.1 to MPC fixed the preview for me on the machines I've tried. I haven't seen the video image in so long :D
Thank you!

[byteshare]

What is the best method to convert 444 video to something usable for KNLMCL A?
x265 [error]: main10 profile not compatible with i444 input chroma subsampling.
Any suggestions? I ran into this again. Last time my "solution" was to encode it first at CRF1 in Handbrake:
x265 [error]: main10 profile not compatible with i422 input chroma subsampling.
I can't seem to convert/change the output for HEVC via AviSynth correctly.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Just add video=ConvertToYUV420(video)

[byteshare]

Just add video=ConvertToYUV420(video)
:thanks: That worked. I must have done something wrong last time I tried that...I tend to do these things late at night :(

In mpc-hc enable that option

I'm very sorry if this has been asked before:
I couldn't help but notice that the UI has become a lot better over the last couple versions, but I'm not always sure what it means:
Especially the "Encoding Client" gives out a lot more informations now, about the state of the server.
Is there anywhere a longer readme or a explanation what all the blinking red, green, blue, yellow lights mean?

[slalom]

Double-click the server icon on the bottom right on the taskbar

The different "light's" is the CPU priority, low, normal, etc.

There is mention of it on this forum, somewhere, but that's basically it.

I think you'll find that they are ALL checked, on the latest update.

Since the last update the video preview doesn´t work for me anymore.

Before the update everything was fine, now i always get this error:

Hello,

Thank you very much for your job Atak!

You allow in your crop application videos when they are hdr10 / hdr10 +. But I have read on various forums that it is not recommended, as this can distort HDR10 / HDR10 + metadata...

What do you think?

Secondly, does RipBot264 support hdr10+ videos one day? you could use the "hdr10plus_parser" tool for this, but it is still buggy... ([URL="https://github.com/quietvoid/hdr10plus_parser/releases"/URL])
This allows HDR10+ metadata to be extracted in json format to be incorporated into the x265 encoding parameters.

[jojo54000]

I have another question: I cut an mkv hdr 10 with mkvtoolnix and I encoded the pieces separately. The parts are all hdr10. is it possible to join all these files while keeping the correct hdr10 metadata? I know the metadata is in the SEI zones but it's still a little confusing for me ...
Thanks.

I think the question here is, why are you "cutting up" the file, only to join it all back together ???

Have you tried to join them using what you cut them with ??

[Ronski]

I've had a couple of encodes hang after it finished encoding (once today, once some months back). The encoding server had appeared to have closed, but Ripbot was just saying please wait. When looking in task manager it was still showing the encoding server, so I killed the process and then Ripbot went on to mux the chunks and completed successfully.

No idea what's causing this but others may find the above useful if it happens to them.

[jojo54000]

"I think the question here is, why are you "cutting up" the file, only to join it all back together ???"

So in fact I cut because on my pc (i7 7700k) it takes a long time to encode and I prefer to encode piece by piece to avoid losing everything in case of crash of the pc (power cut etc ...).
Hence my question: is there no problem with pasting HDR10 / HDR10 + files? I mean with respect to HDR10 / HDR10 + metadata?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Why not just use distributed encoding mode??? Why do you have to cut file manually?

[jojo54000]

actually i never tried distributed encoding ...
it's the same thing ?

OMG, jojo....you should do yourself a HUGE favour, and figure out how to use distributed encoding (DE), not only does it speed the process up substantially, but there is a (let's call it) a resume type function....98 out of 100 times, if the encode is interrupted, or aborted, when you restart the encode it will start from almost where it was "interrupted", meaning that all the completed chunks will still be there (it doesn't save / remember where it was up to with partially processed chunks, but thats acceptable).

You don't need other pc to use DE, but of course the more, the merrier.

But the process of splitting a movie is making SO much more work for you, and brings you to the dilemma you posted about.

Wow..OK, so how long have you been using (trying to) RipBot ??

Do you have any other pc's, or a network ??

Do you know how to enable Distributed Encoding ??

You have to set up certain basic IP address's etc,

Can you post a couple of screenshots of your Ripbot windows, especially the Distributed Encoding tab, opened (but don't post any pictures directly here, they won't be "cleared" for quite some time).

Have you had a look around page 1 of this forum ??

Watch this video:- https://youtu.be/b-BICnj62iE it's a bit dated, but that's about all you can get.

I'm currently buying some parts to upgrade my encoding PC and I need a little advice. I've never used a dedicated graphics card before as I never play any games so I just use the integrated graphics.
My new CPU does not have integrated graphics so I need to buy a GPU. Noise levels are very important to me so I was planning to buy a GT 1030 2GB passive GPU.
My question is this:
Will this card be sufficient to benefit from GPU decoding in RipBot? Should I be looking at a more powerful card or is this one sufficient?

I would appreciate any advice. Cheers.

[Atak_Snajpera]

100% sufficient.

A couple of things I'd like to add...

Just how much benefit would a GT 1030 give..(compute units)

Is passive cooling going to be sufficient if being used for heavy use..

I have an MSI GTX 1080, and an MSI RX 480, both have 2 big fan's, but don't spin until they get hot, and then they are very quiet.

What CPU are you running ??

[duffbeer]

100% sufficient.

Great, thanks for confirming.

So there is no performance benefit (for encoding) in buying a more powerful GPU?

Interesting comment, but really, if you have substantial CPU power, why would you want to use GPU, unless you have several.

Surely it's only a small % of "help", and there's only some filters that use GPU's for filtering, not encoding.

MDegrain is CPU, KnlMeansCL is GPU.

You do not have to tell me that ;) In practice GPU decoding may reduce encoding time by only ~5%.

So how would this change, if you were decoding 4K footage ??

And then with 8K "just around the corner", that will really throw a "cat among the pigeons"....

8K around the corner? Where? In Japan or South Korea?

Why don't you check yourself. If GPU supports HEVC decoding then 4k should not be a problem. I expect again 120+ fps during pure decoding on GT1030.

It is simple. Just click on AVS METER icon. Do not forget to activate GPU decoding in options first and do not perform any filtering in script.

[guest]

Atak,

You know it would be VERY handy to be able to shutdown the Client PC, at any chosen chunk, instead of having to sit there, until the chunk(s) is completed, then manually stop the process.

If this:- https://i.postimg.cc/nc0J3cNs/Untitled-2.png = SHUTDOWN SERVER AT IDLE STATE (Finish encoding current chunk and then shutdown), could be added to the Clients options, instead of just the Servers.

Or better still (just on the Client), if the encoding process could be gracefully closed, and not start the next chunk, then you could abort out, without the job having been completed, ready to resume, whenever...

Hi

is there any way to make an encode with HDR10+ from a DolbyVision title?

[guest]

I know this question is a little off topic for this forum, but it is along the lines of a question jojo54000 asked, several days ago.

I am trying to join 2 parts of a movie, and I can get each part to playback well, after running them thru either tsMuxer, or MKVToolnix, but when I "merge / append" the parts together, either using tsMuxer of MKVToolnix, the 2nd part is out of sync.

I have several movies that are like this, meaning it 2 parts, and I'm not having much luck.

Anybody with a hint, would be welcome.

[duffbeer]

Quick hardware question....
Which would you prefer?

1. Increase 16GB 3200 DDR4 RAM to 3600
2. Increase 16GB 3200 DDR4 RAM to 32GB 3200

Purely encoding related usage - no games

#2...depends on how much filtering and work you give the system.

There are several ways to reassemble the 2 parts:
1- copy / b (first demux the videos .h265 / .h264)
2- mp4box
3- ffmpeg
4- mkvtoolnix
the safest is with 'copy / b' and the least secure with mkvtoolnix according to my tests.
with 'copy / b', never had synchronization concerns, but the 2 parts must be encoded exactly with the same options, resolution ... and avoid videos with OpenGOPs.

Thnx jojo, I might give the copy /b thing a shot.

found these examples...

Method 1

type "C:\folder1\file1.txt" "C:\folder2\file2.txt" > output.txt

Method 2

copy "C:\folder1\file1.txt"+"C:\folder2\file2.txt" output.txt

In fact, i think copy /b "file1.h265" + "file2.h265" "full.h265" (if h265 video and after demuxing video via mkvextract)

Most of the time after I join them, I have to end up re-encoding the whole thing to fix the audio and a blip at the join.

Their might be 8K TVs but there still isn't much true 4K content. Even Avengers Endgame's 4K BluRay was a 4K upscale because almost all effects are still done in 2K. Endgame was shot in 4K but most movies are still shot in 2K and upscaled later after effects. Reason the industry even moved so fast to 2K was Avatar from what I heard.

As for GPU decoding, I ran some long tests a while back and it is slightly faster on longer encodes but only when I'm not using my usual GPU filters, when using heavier GPU filters it is slower to decode with GPU.
