maybe your power supply is dying? Check eventlog in windows
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/78335-read-shutdown-logs-event-viewer-windows.html

try also this command line
RipBot264.exe /start

Looking from the Reliability Monitor, I get FFMPEG and FFProb issues.
I only have these reboots while encoding in RipBot. I don't in Handbrake or gaming. *Not a big deal, just working around it.
--For example I haven't had a reboot in ~2 days, but some files cause more reboots than others.

I tried RipBot264.exe /start via the task scheduler but RipBot only starts and doesn't start encoding.
I also tried it via a batch file but RipBot only opens.
Thank you for the suggestion...are there other CLI optinos like this?

@Atak

I just encountered a small bug:

When encoding some DVD footage, that is put into an MKV Container, the Display ratio gets messed up as soon as the video is cropped. For example: A 16:9 movie stored in MPEG2 with black bars is usually stretched when played back - encoding it with ripbot without removing the black bars works fine - but when cropping is done, the aspect ratio gets messed up on the final file.

Not sure if it's a bug or not. But dealing with anamorphic content can cause issues. I would put "--sar 1:1" in your codec settings, and upscale to square pixels when cropping. So crop and upscale to 854x<cropped value>.

I keep a different codec value for when I want to keep anamorphic content that does not have "--sar 1:1".

Thanx for getting back :)

Yes, manually adjusting is always possible - when doing batch encodes it leads to touchung every single job by hand, since the autocrop feature of course also removes a few pixels left and right in some footages..
It also would be nice if rescaling can be avoided - with the low resolution of a DVD, it does not help in terms of quality to resize the pixels - its best to simply crop it and tell the display to adjust the aspect ratio.

Bug or not - it would be nice if RB would handle this by itself automatically. Handbrake has a robust mechanism for this - but I really do prefer Ripbot, especially for large batch encodes (after all, thats what Ripbot is built for..) - and "tossing 300 ripped DVDs (which I own, to avoid confusion on this part)" should work in batch automatically.

True that resizing to square pixels won't improve the quality. You can still do batch and cropping along with the resizing to square pixel. Just change the scaling wide to 854, turn on cropping and let it go to town.

In the past, I've had issues with some software not scaling correctly when it wasn't 4:3 or 16:9. So for the most part, I keep the anamorphic and encode the black bars or crop and resize for the most consistent playback.

BTW, some upscaling software can't handle anamorphic and recently I've been changing all my anamorphic DVD content to square pixels before being upscaled.

I'd just like to add my 2 cents...

I've been doing a lot of DVD's recently, (mainly 1000's of episodes, eg:- The Simpsons, ALL the Starwars spin off series, including the animated series) and I have found that running them thru Handbrake using some particular settings, I get a really nice result.

Probably have certain presets for 4:3 & 16:9, then RB doesn't have to "worry" about that side of things.

BUT they are still going to be run thru RB as well.

Using some special custom scripts helps, and using the RB batch as well.

I think Handbrake does handle re sizing / cropping a lot better, and I have heard that DVD rips come out nicer with also a colorspace change.

So I will getting back into this again shortly, as I have 100's to do for a friend of mine.

16:9 are pretty easy, but it's 4:3 that can be a real pain with cropping etc.

Thats a good point. So far my Plex and Jellyfin handle it correctly. But it may be more future proof to go with 1:1 ratios all the way.... Which leaves the quality argument.. Scaling low res content introduces much more quality loss than HD Material...

@TR-9970X

Yes, Handbrake does a good job here with the cropping etc...

What I love about ripbot is the ability to normalize and encode the Audio to AAC-V2 in one go as well as the degrain filter - which helps a lot with a lot of DVD Content to get rid of stuff that messes with encoding efficency but also leaves quality and details intact. With RB in batch mode - everyhting is fine in one go - aside from the aspect ratios with cropped footage :)

Why I originally called it a bug is: RB does somehow alter alter the aspect ratios and is able to deal with them correctly when the black bars are not cropped - but messes things up when they are removed. 16:9 footage and other formats seem to get the same output aspect ratios - so somewhere in the pipelne of RBs internals, some info of the AR seems to get lost. A "bug" since this surely is not intentional - and can“t be that difficult to implement..

Thanks for the quick reply. From what I've gathered it would be tsmuxer not mkvtoolnix IF you're making a blu ray. But yes definitely for an mkv, mkvtoolnix.

You didn't say what type of files you were using !!

Are you doing BluRay's or mkv's ??

You could still use MKVToolNix, you'd just need to do some conversions along the way.

I don't think there's any adjustment options in tsmuxer.

Glitch's & no auto cropping

Just a couple of observations, I ran Star Wars The Phantom Menace (4K), (using DE), and towards the end, I was getting random video glitch's (which are NOT in the original), just little very obvious flickers/frame stalls in the play back :(

Not too sure what might be causing that, as RB is pretty damn good at faultless encoding....maybe Lsmash ???

=================================

And also, even tho I generally don't auto crop or crop, I am going to be doing that from now on, due to many comments, here.

Anyway, I did an autocrop on the above movie, and it didn't detect any borders, but clearly in the preview, it does have heavy top & bottom borders !!

I loaded the same, into the latest Handbrake to check what it detected (which it is pretty good at), and it detected 276 top & bottom borders.

Taking that info into RB, and manually adding these numbers, the preview shows ALL picture :). NO borders.

Any idea's ??

Just tried RB on my 4K of Star Wars The Phantom Menace and it correctly detected borders at exactly 276, top and bottom. Box stock L-SMASH, too.

Indexing observations

What "app", program (whatever you want to call it), actually does the Indexing when importing a video in for a new job ??

I can't help but notice that with 4K "imports" especially the Indexing processes fairly quickly up to 51%. then pauses, and the next 49% seems to take forever :(

I'm using hi end CPU's, and NVMe's drives just about everywhere, it just seems wrong. :(

Usually the indexing source filters (FF*, LwLibav*) generate the index files when not available.

The behaviour you mention sounds like it first indexes the video only, then re-indexes with an audio stream that has direct access to every sample. I may be wrong, but I remember a note about such a case.

Thanks LigH, I might just try it without audio tracks.

I recall at one stage I was only doing video with RB... we'll see.

TBH you are not the only user confused by this setup.

It takes a bit of time to figure out what you have to do to get the options that you use the most. BUT, when you get a handle on it, it IS very handy.

If you let "us" know exactly what your preferences were, it would be a bit easier to lead you in the right direction.

Sometimes when running distributed encoding, the Encoding server fails on 2 clients with the message:
"y4m [error]: bad sequence header magic
x264 [error]: could not open input file `-'"

On my server/master, the encoding runs fine. What can I do about it and where do I start to look?

Running 1.27.5 on all machines. Clients that fails have E5-1650 and i7-970 CPUs.

I could be wrong, but I don't think you can change that.

The ONLY things that you can get the GPU to do, is decoding & certain filters.

Also, hasn't the i5-14600K got integrated graphics, iGPU ?

What is your main GPU ? AMD or nVidia ?

Yes, there is an integrated GPU "Intel® UHD Graphics 770" and I would like to use the GPU for encoding, but even though I set it up in the menu as I mentioned earlier, the CPU is still doing the encoding. All of this works fine with BD Rebuilder.

weird, I wrote an answer, but it seems lost..

again..

no GPU Encoding in Ripbot (if you are looking for quicksync encoding = qsvenc, etc...)... Only software x265/4

You probably found the openCL parts in the preferenes, the left one is for x264 - here you can actually offload some of the vector stuff to OPENCL - and the GPU (in your case your UHD770) can then take over some of the stuff that X264 is doing..

With modern CPUs, this is rarely any speed advantage, in most cases much slower than simply running it on the CPU alone.

And its not "GPU Encoding", since it does not touch the dedicated media engines in your GPU.

Ripbot has no support for any hardware-encoder, no AMD, no Intel, no Nvidia.

If you aim for quality and effiecency of encoding (in terms of space vs quality), software encoding is king, anyway. Although GPU Encoders have gotten better over time and are convinient - they are still behind software encoding.

I have some TV Recordings in 50fps, which actually only contain 25fps (frames are doubled)...

For degrain to work properly and to lower encoding time and - of course - get back to the original 25fps, it would be nice to have a switch to "drop every second frame bevor the filter chain"... Is it possible to do this in RipBot ?

Wishful thinking here, Pulp.

Even tho FFMPEG can easily encode to AV1.

I fiddled around with a process of getting FFMEG to re-encode a freshly RB encoded video to AV1, using that cmd script that Atak added to RB many years ago, but it's a little complicated, and you can only process one complete conversion at once, as the script has to be changed for every different file encoded.

OR

You could do multiple encodes, then run the FFMPEG script separately afterwards.

However, there was a strange issue with the AV1 video's..it wouldn't play properly with VLC, but once it was quickly run thru MKVToolNix, it's "cleaned it up" (whatever it did), made the difference.

But I'm more interested in DV video's, TBH, so I gave up.

Hello all.
For some reason, when encoding movies (Blu-rays and 4Ks), I am getting distortion on some frames. When I play the original ripped file using MakeMKV or Reveal, the file has no distorted frames.

In some cases, it plays:

a frame from a few previous frames;
I get a static display frame
I get a static display frame or the typical colored test pattern.


It is quite annoying, as you may understand.

I've had an issue similar to this years ago, and it turned out to be a memory module issue. So, following the same troubleshooting procedure, I used Mem86 on three of the machines I use for encoding in RipBot.

All three machines tested successfully with no errors.

Can someone please point me in the correct direction on what else I should check?

Thanks in advance!!!

Can anyone please tell me what the issue might be here & how to fix it? Apologies if there's something obvious that I'm missing - I'm just a simple user! Log is as follows:

Hello all.
For some reason, when encoding movies (Blu-rays and 4Ks), I am getting distortion on some frames. When I play the original ripped file using MakeMKV or Reveal, the file has no distorted frames.

In some cases, it plays:

a frame from a few previous frames;
I get a static display frame
I get a static display frame or the typical colored test pattern.


It is quite annoying, as you may understand.

I've had an issue similar to this years ago, and it turned out to be a memory module issue. So, following the same troubleshooting procedure, I used Mem86 on three of the machines I use for encoding in RipBot.

All three machines tested successfully with no errors.

Can someone please point me in the correct direction on what else I should check?

Thanks in advance!!!

Maybe there's something causing this during the importing/demuxing/decoding of the video & audio, etc.

You could try updating L-Smash (which is RB's default).

Get it here:-

https://github.com/HomeOfAviSynthPlusEvolution/L-SMASH-Works/releases/tag/1278.0.0.0/

Or if you have a good nVidia GPU you could try changing the setting for that.

Thank you for any help!

It's plain as day that you must have manually updated eac3to, as that is NOT the default build with RB.

Not saying that might be the issue, BUT it has been stated (a long time ago) that anything other than the default build can cause issues with some Bluray rips.

I run 3.57, but I don't do any (or many) Bluray rips.

So you might have to download RB from page 1, just to get the original eac3to, and copy it in where it needs to go, but rename the current folder (for future reference).

Page 1 link:-

https://www.mediafire.com/file/eke2o8d4ud3ejpl/RipBot264v1.27.5.7z/file

OR,

I have uploaded just the original eac3to folder for RB 1.27.5, here:-

https://www.mediafire.com/file/feytbnsdr7l0uid/eac3to.7z/file

OR,

You could try seeing what RB does if you only load the video, and remux the audio & subs back in later, using MKVToolNix.

Good luck.

I was originally using the default install eac3to version when first getting the issue, but updated it today to see if it would make any difference (it didn't!), that's why it's in the log I posted. I'll roll it back anyway - didn't know updating it could possibly cause an issue. Thanks for letting me know.

I did also try just loading the video without the subtitles & audio but unfortunately, with the same results.


I just tried loading the current movie file in question into mkvtoolnix and muxing it, then tried loading that file into Ripbot... And it then loaded it properly without rejecting it! I then tried another problematic title the same way, running it through mkvtoolnix first, and it too will now load into Ripbot successfully! As I've said it's only happened recently with a few disks so not quite sure what's happening...?!

Thanks again for your help, much appreciated!

I'm gonna ask for this again

for this type of audio, 1_audio_English_DEFAULT_DELAY6798ms.dtsma

audio delay is not applied in the final muxing


Does audio delay work for you?

Hi, so how do you know that your audio is out of sync ??

I'm sure there is an option to adjust this within RB, but I think it's a manual thing.

I don't have too many sync problems, and if I do, I do a quick run thru MKVToolNix, (with adjustments) until it's back in sync.

What do you mean??

DELAY6798ms was introduced in the filename to apply later in muxing

So, if you were to process this, are you expecting a sync issue, or do you expect RB to auto adjust it somehow ?

I mean, that's nearly a 7 second issue!!

DUDE !!!

I read it, but maybe it's the way you wrote it, that is confusing.

So, is it just dtsma, or ALL audio?

I have never noticed a delay is auto fixed in RB.

I did have one instance that unbeknown to me, a delay HAD been introduced by RB, and it stuffed everything up until I manually adjusted it.

It is strange that what appears to be a perfectly in sync video/audio, once it's demuxed, it's not.
