I have stumbled upon an hevc stream ripbot seems to have massive problems with, two notable problems:
- It seems to have problems decoding it in the first way: Auto cropping does not work with the message :" 'INF' is not a valid floating point value ", setting cropp left and right to 1000 and it can not generate a preview, no matter how often I press new frame.
I've seen that before, and worked around it by analyzing it in a different software and then just punching in the numbers manually.
-Additionally, and this is first for me: When trying to encode, not matter the settings, distributed or single machine encoding and the target codec, at exactly the time it fails. The fps goes up, the bitrate goes way way down, and the cpu consumptino goes down to, on all machines that are participating. When done in in DE mode, the later chunks are just very small and are only black, and if mixed together the video just stalls at the last good frame. The Original Video play back fine on all sorts of players and machines.

Can someone give me any tipps?

I am having a problem with Output Speed option (under Avisynth) which is giving intermittent problems. Originally noticed this in August, went away and has now re-appeared

It appears to be a problem for some encodes and not others - where it does occur then

If I use any setting other than default
The FPS on the main screen does not change
The Duration on the main screen does not change
Once encoding is started a 'info.txt does not exist' error is generated

After which the script goes directly to the final re-encode and shows 'Error: The file 'H:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job2\video.265' could not be opened for reading: open file error.'

Re-setting Output Speed to default allows the program to run.

I use this option where I have used MkvCutter to edit and re-encode the start of a video. As it re-encodes at 24 fps regardless of the speed of original, I need to use the Output Speed to prevent the audio and video being out of sync.

I have tested on the same videos, with or without using MkvCutter, in each case RipBot264 runs normally if Output Speed is default and fails for any other setting.

Any suggestions on what I can do to track down why this setting (Output speed) is not taking properly.

Thanks

Maybe you should try VideoReDo, it's keeps the original fps !

Not going to help - as far as I remember from past use it can only cut on key frames. I use MkvCutter to to strip unwanted intros from video files. It allows exact frame cutting, but to do that it re-encodes from the cut up to the next key frame. The downside is that the re-encoded initial sub-section is at 24fps and is then joined onto the next frame, regardless of the rest of the video. Given the tiny size of the re-encoded section, it has no material affect on playback. Mediainfo identifies both the frame rate (modified by the cut) and the original frame rate and Ripot64 uses the former for encoding the whole video, hence the need to force the rate back to that of the source.

As such I would prefer to understand how to see why change output speed is not working as expected.

OK, fair enough..but I have to question about your comment on the key frame cutting...I'm pretty sure that use it at frame by frame cutting, but what would I know, I've only been using it for years.

Anyway, I think you've sussed out why Ripbot encodes the whole clip at the wrong fps...but of course there is ONLY one person who can do anything to rectify that.

So good luck, you should still keep looking for other ways to edit...that doesn't change the fps !!

Looks like MakeMKV has added support for Dolby Vision. Not sure if the other tools have been updated yet that Atak can add this support in RipBot.

Had a read on this, and it only seems to work on ripping UHD disks using MakeMKV, you can't "convert" older, re-ripped files to contain DV. :(

No use to me :(

It turns out that the problem with changing Output Speed has nothing to do with making any prior edits to the file - it was simply that I only noticed it when I needed to 'correct' the output speed.

After checking I noticed that the same problem exists if I used the unedited file as the input. In each case the file info.txt is lost from the job folder after selecting a non-default output speed - resetting to default recreates the file.

After looking at bunch of other files, the issue only seems to arise if any of the audio is encoded with FLAC, it does not happen with AAC or DTS audio.

For now the workaround is simple, do not include any FLAC audio in the file I am working on, then add it back from the job folder or the source file after RipBot64 has finished encoding the video.

On a separate note, is there a way to retain track names or to add them back with a post-processing script. For example, a file may have a secondary audio "Commentary by .."

Could you upload some samples for me for testing purposes? (With FLAC audio and commentary) 100 MiB max.

I will need to edit some files segments, as I am starting with with much larger files (5-12GB). Where should I upload to as the max attachment size (zip) is 300kb?

RipBot needs admin access to run. Some Encoding RDP dosen't give any admin permission.
So how do I run without admin access.

I have attached 2 clips with both FLAC audio plus named audio and named subtitles

http://www.mediafire.com/folder/yobtun41khdggam,rd6eh33o1ycae2e/shared

In both cases changing the Output Speed fails if a flac audio track is included and any track names (audio and subtitles) are lost during the editing/conversion process.

n.b. first time using mediafire, so my apologies if I have not done this correctly.

FLAC output speed bug I had already fixed yesterday in my personal version.
Track names I will try to add this weekend. Currently I'm too tired mentally after my real day job...

I will be happy whenever you have the time. I can work around both issues until then.

Hi Atak,
Been a long time fan of RipBot. I use an automated script on linux with Nvenc for a lot of stuff but nothing better for x265 than RipBot with distributed encoding. I just setup some servers and I'm trying to get watchfolders setup. I've been looking through the thread and not sure how the txt file is supposed to be formatted. Also will you be adding any Nvenc Support? The newer cards are supporting 10 bit and B frames so hopefully quality will just get better like the old days of xvid to x264. Just curious because I would love to be able to use RipBot for everything. Thanks

I suspect that your antivirus is blocking downloading files by updater.exe

Only running the OEM/default AV that is part of W10.

FLAC output speed bug I had already fixed yesterday in my personal version.

Both tested and working as hoped. Thank you for fixing these

I've been running RipBot for years with no major problems, but this morning I opened RipBot and it did an update, and now EncodingServer.exe just hangs.

First when I did the update, launching EncodingServer.exe just opened a Command Line window, and the message Encoding Server is not Responding just kept scrolling by over and over... so I deleted Ripbot and did a fresh install.


I can run Ripbot264.exe fine, I can also run EncodingClient.exe fine, but when I try to run EncodingServer.exe it never opens, and I look in task manager and the task is just stuck.

Any ideas?

I also did a Malware Scan, and a SFC scannow to fix any corrupted system files.
LTTP but, do you have an AMD video card? Go to Task Manager and go to the Details tab. Find one of your EncodingServer tasks, right-click on it and Analyze wait chain. If you see something like AUP.exe in there, that's AMD's User Experience Program messing you up.

If that's the case, go into AMD drivers, Settings, General, AMD User Experience Program, and opt out of that crap post-haste. Do a reboot just for good measure.

Edit: Guess I should have read further that this is solved. Interesting that both NV and AMD drivers have their own version of the culprit.

While I'm here, might as well ask, will hardware decoding ever be supported for AMD cards? I will never be able to get my hands on an RTX 30XX, but I think I could get an RX68XX.

I reported this issue back in post #18679

I have now added an image: https://ibb.co/FH9qKQT

What happens is if you have first have selected a custom script from the list and want to remove it again, then selecting "Do not use custom script" dosnt remove it, either from the preview script or the output if you select OK. I think it only happens for Custom scripts.

Hi GZZ, I didn't want to comment until I tried this for myself...which I just did, and mine changes "before my very eye's", instantly.

Have you tried changing it, then backing out of RB, and see if it's changed upon opening RB ??

[GZZ]

Yes. What I see in the video script window for preview is what I get if I press ok. I can remove the lines from that window and I will get it without (thats my temporary fix). I got several custom MDegrain script in my custom script dropdown and I can change between them and video script window reflect my selection, but nothing happens if I select "Do not use custom script". I have tried going in and out of the program, restart it, update it and so on.

Hi, OK, I didn't try that option, but I just tried something else, that seems to work.

However, it might be something the Atak might need to address.

So, if I have a "Custom Filter" enabled, and I then select "Do not use custom script", the Custom Filter indeed does not get removed, HOWEVER, if I choose one of the 3 default "Custom" filters, THEN go back to "Do not use custom script", then it's clears the custom filter. :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

I will fix that this weekend

[Ryushin]

I've starting to encounter the issue that I had a couple of years ago or so but finally went away after Atak fixed it. I think it started occurring again after the last update.
The issue is sometimes (happens about 1 in 5 to 1 in 10 times) when click OK to finish modifying a job (not sure about adding as I'm currently using batch to add the jobs) the "Encoding Settings" window stays open with some things clickable and other things that are not.

If I click "Done" again a second time in the Encoding Settings nothing happens in the window and it does not close, but clicking "Done" the second time wipes out the avisynth script when I got back in to edit the job after closing Ripbot as that is the only way to get control back. I can still use the main window to stop the "Encoding Client" before closing Ripbot

If the "Encoding Settings" window does not close and if I then close Ripbot without clicking "Done" a second time on the "Encoding Settings" window then the Avisyth script is still there.

This bug recently came back after the last update. It's been a good couple of years (or more since time flies) since I've seen this happen.

How do I increase video sharpen with Ripbot. Is there any command to add in the script ?
Can any one help me.

Atak,
I'm developing a distributed encoder and would like to see how you implemented the feature. Is source code available?

[userx]

Hi Atak.
There were some changes within the muxing step. Parameters are now packed into the jobX_MuxFiles.json. I noticed the title tag is not handled anymore.
Sure, i can create a script for that, but can you please append them automatically.

Thank you.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Add section marker to your custom script
#Custom

That marker is needed for my code to determine which section of script to remove.

Yes activate it. Thanks for that. But I have to know that how to decrease or increase sharpness as my taste. Which parameter need to change to this effect.

Hello!

I dig into an issue why EncodingClient is always restarting jobs (1.cmd) after it is finished.
I switched ffmpeg loglevel to debug and saw an error:
...

I splitted the commands in 1.cmd and wrote ffmpeg output to 1.pipe. Afterwards I piped the output to x264_x64.exe which finished without errors.
Last lines:

Is it possible that 'process tried to write to a nonexistent pipe' leads to the abortion?

I altered the opencl device (0 or 9) which leads to the same result but with cldev 9 (not exists) EncodingServer complete this chunk without restarting it.

Any news about 3 pass support?

(I know i'm quite pricky but is the only thing i miss from using it massively on my collection :))

[blacksapprow]

@Atak_Snajpera

Is there a way of using CQ mode with 20000kbps setting?

I need this 20000kbps setting to prepare a BD standard m2ts.

[blacksapprow]

@yuryna

Why do you need 3 pass? I don't even know what 2 pass does.

[yuryna]

@blacksapprow
Because from my tests and my settings (not placebo but almost),
a 2 pass is far better than a CFR encoding (visual quality side)
and a 3 pass add that little plus (little grain and little geometry preserved)
compared to a 2 pass that i considered (in my "quality at all cost" goal) worthing of extra time and cpu encoding.

@Atak_Snajpera

Why don't you just use 1 Pass @ 20,0000kbps !!!

I use 60,000kbps on my UHD encodes.

30,000kbps on 1080p (BD)

[blacksapprow]

@Pauly Dunne

That is Variable bitrate. BD standard generally uses Constant bitrate. ==> Correction: Wrong vice versa, BD standard uses Variable bitrate at video files! Sorry I was fighting with Magix Vegas 18 deeply with colorizing effect. It made me dizzy, so I typed wrongly. By the way, Magix Vegas 18 does not accept untouched original files, crashes immediately. Converting m2ts files with Ripbot to smaller sizes are absolutely necessary!

Latest Note: I have seen that Magix Vegas denies to load CQ type. It only accepts 1 pass and 2 pass variant of Ripbot. Therefore I don't need CQ with 20000kbps because of program behavior for now. ==> Correction: Again, Magix Vegas 18 accepts CQ with 16 at most. Other manual settings, with high size, Magix Vegas crashes again. I have used Build 434 today, still same. I have to test many other options, so I can not truly tell about it's allowance, exactly for now.

Correction made at: 29.01.2021

[blacksapprow]

@yuryna

You need a lot of time. 2 pass needs more than double the time, with three pass took 4~5 times more.

To enhance quality you need to use Topaz Video Enhancer AI. But it needs terrible time to decode. I have a GTX 780Ti, it took 24 days to convert DVD quality to 1080i for a 100 minute film. There are other options as well, other than CG, but CG (Computer Generated) was best works at version 1.6.1.

Now there is 1.7.0 but that one lost it's quality a lot at CG. The new version can use AMD graphics cards as well as RTX 30xx serie. The software needs fixing currently.

[yuryna]

@blacksapprow
Yes, some time it's needed for sure, but that's not a problem, considering my goal.
I'm waiting so eagerly for the 3 pass support,
because i have some 40 cores servers, that are only waiting to pump up the damn cores concerto with a distributed encoding :)

[LigH]

@Pauly Dunne

That is Variable bitrate. BD standard generally uses Constant bitrate.

Then whatever BD is, you don't mean Blu-ray. Blu-ray video may well nicely have a variable bitrate in VBV constraints.

Blu-ray Disc (BD), often known simply as Blu-ray, is a digital optical disc storage format. (Wikipedia)

So "we" just got another update, and it has a new category (Avisynth plug in) CAS or MCAS.avs.

Can we please get a quick explanation on what this does...

Oh wait...it's in conjunction with/part of, using the "Enhance Fine Details", custom filter.

Cheers

[LigH]

@ Pauly Dunne: I know that BD usually means "Blu-ray Disc"; but I also know that the constraints mentioned by blacksapprow are not required by Blu-ray specifications.
