Do not use rendered subtitles. Just mux them as forced in subtitles section.

You can render/burn subs with Vidcoder/Handbrake but I much prefer Ripbot over those.

Do you really have to burn permanently subtitles on video frame?

[stretch009]

Do you really have to burn permanently subtitles on video frame?

In this case, yes. I'm making my own fanedit of Godfather part 2 which is 64 minutes shorter than the theatrical. The first thing I did was burn in the subs with Vidcoder since I can't do that correctly with Ripbot. Then I did the editing.

With the movie so radically altered it would be a royal pain to adjust the subs correctly and then force them with Ripbot.

@Atak
Zero tier 1 is changing the IP of the DE server, and I can't connect
I added zero tier's IP but still won't connect

[rlev11]

No experience with Zero Tier, but I'll give it a shot. Does the Zero Tier Client app create another network connection sort of like a vpn client would do? If so you may have to specify the local ip address when starting the encoding server. I have to do this on one of my boxes that I use a work vpn client on. If I would just start the encoding server while the vpn client is active, it would pick up the ip of the vpn connection, I have to specify the local ip address in the command line to start the server like "encodingserver /ip 192.168.1.201 /port 1000".
This is of course assuming that you not using DE across the Zero Tier managed network.

How do you do that??

And how long have you been using RipBot ?

In the RipBot264.ini

add something like this:-

So I've been on this Forum now for nearly 5 months, and I think it's time for me to address the " https://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/tiere/a045.gif in the room" (well, not in the room, actually) !

I have been using RipBot in one form or another now for many, many years, and I was VERY impressed when the now "disappeared" Pauly Dunne released a very modded build of RipBot, and fortunately, I am lucky to have most of his builds, as I started using them almost immediately.

He also updated them quite regularly, but then he mysteriously disappeared, and then TDS took the reins and released the modded builds, and I have them as well, but then he disappeared.

Not 100% why or what happened, but clearly someone had it in for them.

Now I have figured out how they updated the builds, and I can keep the copies I have right up to date, as there are always new & improved components being released.

The main RipBot components have seen major updates recently, and compared to the last time Atak released any major update, is months ahead, and I find it performs exceptionally well, and with many extra features.

I also noticed that Ryushin released his version of what is clearly Pauly Dunne's SMDegrain package, but to be honest, it's SO out of date, and cut down, it's hardly worth the effort, but he's got a link to it in his signature, so it's available to anyone that wants to give SMDegrain a shot (it IS worth it when used to it's potential).

I've even noticed that rlev11 has the same link, (a bit strange), so they must be friends.

I would really like to make the build I'm currently using, available to everyone, but I'm reluctant, as it would probably be "stolen" by the above.

So that's all I wanted to say, I'll probably get some "hate", or more than likely, no comments at all.

[tebasuna51]

Not 100% why or what happened, but clearly someone had it in for them
It's simple, the forum has rule 14:

14) Multiple registrations are prohibited and are grounds for immediate account deletion.

And both TDS and Pauly Dunne and a third user were the same person, as he acknowledged.

He was given the choice of which one he wanted to keep, and the aforementioned accounts were deleted.

It's not a matter of being obsessive (or "hate"), but of following the forum rules.

You are free to publish any version of software with the intention of sharing it.

If you've seen versions of the same thing by two users, it could be that they were the same person and not that it was "stolen."

Once again, you are stirring the pot. I specifically made sure when I created my "Lite" version from scratch it did not contain any derivative work from your package as I didn't want my package tainted with anything from you. I included a Sources file in my package where I got the code. I wrote my own scripts based on Atak's work, not yours.

Before you start taking credit for your work, you better acknowledge all the work Dogway has done and all the help that he and others gave you in his thread. SMDegrain wouldn't be where it is today without Dogway's hard work and he is maintaining the SMDegrain source, not you:
https://github.com/Dogway/Avisynth-Scripts

rlev11 having the link to my package is probably because it's not based on yours and that his and my scripts both work great with the Lite package. It also allows other to test the waters with SMDegrain.

The "Elephant in the room" is that you've become toxic and hateful. You put down Atak and RipBot instead of being appreciative. I supported you and acknowledged your work in getting me to try SMDegrain and I was appreciative and what did I get in the end was your ire. Your package has become radioactive and it introduces compatibility problems with Atak's to the point you have to turn off auto updates.

SMDegrain is not yours. You were not even the first one to introduce SMDegrain to RipBot, it was byteshare.

So yea, I am done with your (Pauly Dunne / TDS/ FTLOY / Retired@55 / TR-7970X) toxic and narcissist behavior.

First - thank you Atak for this wonderfull software!!

Its been a while, but I found some time to use RB again.

While encoding some of my DVDs (makemkv, so Original streams in an MKV with MPEG2 Video), I encountered something:

When I crop some borders in RB, the AR is lost. Many DVDs have anamorpic pictures which are stretched at playback.

If I encode withput cropping, the AR stays fine, if I crop, RB reverts to 1:1 AR.

of course this can easily be fixed with MKV toolnix, but it would be nice if this extra step was not necessary.

Maybe you have time to look into it ?

Thanx!

Very interesting that you've commented on this...

I have been processing a lot of old DVD's recently, and some of them are 4:3, and it appears that RipBot does not process these correctly, and they mostly end up "squashed", sadly.

However, any 16:9's turn out with the correct AR.

I have found that Handbrake handles 4:3 a lot better, so I have been quickly running them thru HB with basic settings, then thru RB to do other filtering.

HB is also good at quickly changing Colorspace.

Another unrelated thing, when Atak introduced the segmenting function, I used it with great success, with cutting the start & end of some video's (mainly TV episodes), however, I used it again recently and it didn't seem to work the way I remember.

For example, if you cut a section from the start of the video, and you then go to another point to edit, the frame reference changes, and the cut positions change...I'm hoping that there hasn't been some change to how it works now, compared to when it was first introduced.

I have two encoding profiles. One for anamorphic content which is the default encoding profile:
[MA10 x.x] 10bit . Progressive.txt which contains:
--profile main10 --output-depth 10

I copy that profile and call it: [MA10 x.x] 10bit . Progressive Anamorphic.txt

I created another profile called: [MA10 x.x] 10bit . Progressive Custom.txt which contains:
--profile main10 --output-depth 10 --sar 1:1

RB will do anamorphic by default. Adding the --sar 1:1 keeps the square pixels and it will not do anamorphic. I use the Custom file by default and only select the Anamorphic when I'm dealing with DVDs and I want to keep the anamoprhic (rectangular pixels) aspect ratio. I only keep anamorphic before adding it to Topaz Video AI to upscale to square pixels. So anamorphic 720x480 4:3 content gets upscaled to 720x540 square pixels. Anamorphic 720x480 16:9 gets upscaled to 854x480. Then I upscale the square pixel output to HD using two more steps from there.

Atak, as a feature request, tt would be best to add a anamorphic check box in RB to either add or remove --sar 1:1.

If you want to crop anamorphic in RB, it's best to resize (upscale) to the displayed 1:1 pixel depth and crop from that. So 16:9 cropped to 2:39:1 would be 853x355, but you don't want odd pixels, so 854x356 would be best and give you a 1:1 square pixel.

What I've learned is that it's best not to crop anamoprhic output if I want to store the best quality DVD output.

[ReinerSchweinlin]

Adjusting for it manualy is not the problem and tweaking stuff is also possible.

When doing large batches (I ripped quite a few DVDs), this becomes a lot of work - going into every file, checking the DAR, SAR etc and remuxing the videofiles with the correct ratios.

When simply recoding without cropping, the Ratios are ok - but if the video is cropped (autocrop when batch encoding), the Pixel ratio is set to 1:1. When using degrain or denoise, not-cropping is much slower because of the higher pixel count.

So it would be nice if RB would adjust the ratio according to the new cropped frame.

If this is a pc that just acts as a server, best way is to create a .bat file in your ripbot folder, something like server.bat and then just put in this line. Then to start the server , just double click the .bat file you created

encodingserver /ip 192.168.1.199 /port 1000 /restart-if-no-progress /priority high

you can put in additional parameters if needed if the correct cpu count,thread count, and memory are not set automatically. This is what I set on a 16 core ryzen in my server.bat file.
encodingserver /ip 192.168.1.201 /port 1000 /restart-if-no-progress /priority high /avisynth-prefetch-threads 16 /x264-threads 32 /x265-threads 32 /avisynth-setmemorymax 16

Not everyone will understand your .bat file suggestion.

Also, I notice that you may need to revised your commandline to the lastest option Atak has configured.

eg:- /restart-time-limit
restarts encoding if no progress after X number of minutes

Hi Atak,

A little feature request. In the edit UI, the audio track 1,2,3 has a grayed oval element, except if it's currently selected in which it's green. It would be nice if an audio track is select in the other slot(s) that instead of it being gray that it be changed to blue like Attachments, Chapters, and Subtitles. It would also be beneficial if the oval was dynamic and showed the abbreviated audio type in the oval: 1: AC3, 2: DTS, 3: AAC, 1: THD, 2: ETC.

Also is there a way to disable audio selections even being available for selection as an example OPUS since I've never used it.

So in older versions probably before the new audio stuff was added in, the list was maintained by the audio.txt file in the profiles directory. I do remember being able to do that, so I just downloaded 1.26 to see and that is where it generates the list. I removed all but a couple of the entries, and that is all that shows up in the drop-down.

Now on the latest version, I tried the same thing and removed the opus entries, but even after restarting ripbot, the dropdown still has the full list, as if it does no longer looks at the audio.txt file to generate the drop down entries.

Now this change may have needed to be done with the way the audio setup is now with the way we can now programmatically choose audio profiles or conversions in the profile\preferences folder (which I love BTW). But if not, I agree it would be nice to be able to remove the entries from the dropdown someone will never use just to clean things up a bit.

Hi Atak,

Not sure if this can be fixed or not. I get this error randomly whenever I start doing a bunch of operations in RB. It could happen when editing a job, importing a batch job, or it just running normally processing jobs.

Errors:
Canvas does not allow drawing. (click OK)
Invalid device context (DC) handle. (click OK)
Out of system (click OK)
Some operation could not be performed because the system is out of resources. Close some windows and try again. (click OK)

I suspect it is because I'm using RB in RDP (Remote Desktop). I've tried changing the video driver, increasing video memory, etc.

Some Googling shows that others are having this issue, and some with Delphi, but I have not found a solution yet.

Only thing I can do when I get this error is to manually kill the RB processes and start it back up, then continue before it threw the error. Currently this is happening nearly every day.

edit: Digging more into this, it might be an issue with the IDE Form Designer and Delphi

I actually use Remmina from Linux to attach to my VM using the RDP protocol. I suppose I could use Spice instead of RDP. RDP should work though as it's the default for Remote Desktop Services / Terminal Services for Microsoft.

Try something that doesnt use native Remote Desktop Services in windows to see if your errors go away. Like Teamviewer or Chrome remote desktop.

Ended up getting everything to work using SPICE, so we'll see how that goes. Was going with NX but Remmina dropped NX support (NoMachine) when the library would not longer support it. So SPICE it is.

So the problem still occurs using SPICE, which attaches to the VM console and it should be as if I'm sitting in front of the computers monitor, so this is not a problem with RDP.

Atak, if you want to compile a debug version with symbols of RB I can run that until an error occurs and then hopefully you can diagnose what the problem is. Thanks much.

Ryushin,

I'm not seeing a problem like that on any of my Windows machines running RB and I'm RDP'ing into all of them except for one. The main RB machine is headless, one is my daily PC and four are solely processing nodes.

I take it you're RDP'ing from Linux?

Yep, from Linux. Though I don't think the problem is with RDP at this point as it's occurring under SPICE as well.

Thing is, it's only really started happening in the last three months or so. If it's just me, then that sucks. The error did lead me to believe it was a Delphi problem, so I thought Atak should know.

I generally don't do subtitles with RipBot, but as I want to edit some TV episodes, and have the subtitles still synced, I have little choice.

So after running one episode thru the segmenting function, I noticed some rather strange looking subtitle characters.

♪ instead of ♪, and ♪♪ instead of ♪♪

However, if I run the video thru MKVToolNix, and add the subtitle, and then run it thru RB, it's good.

The other option would be to not use MKVToolNix, and do a simple replace in Notepad, afterwards.

2 options, I think the 1st one might be the best, then I don't have to load the subtitles separately.

The question here is obviously, does it support UTF-8, and does it recognise the correct codepage of the subtitle file?

[TR-9970X]

Well, clearly, whatever "code" it is, RipBot doesn't like it, but MKVToolNix does something to change that, without me having to tell it to.

As far as I'm aware, the subtitles are UTF-8.

Is there a way to excluded specific CPU cores? I have a 5900X and core 21 is very flaky under load. Before I look into the BIOS to make any changes I was wondering if I can do this in software.

Than you, Archie
