I'm currently on a business trip, but I will return home tomorrow. When I do, I will take a different MKV, encode & convert it into a Blu-ray disc. Hopefully, the resultant disc won't have A/V Sync issues.

I'm pretty sure that the fact that the the Blu-ray disc I created using RipBot had A/V Sync issues was merely a fluke. I'm sure that I will get a more promising result using an MKV that had no problems with it to start with. Still, I appreciate all the suggestions that I have received so far. And if anyone has a suggestion as to correct my A/V Sync issue, I would be glad to hear it. After all, we're all here to learn.

Ok one small bug fixed as far as selectable location is concerned... Is Fixed

This installer also includes a newr build of the updater with updated url info. Right now I am working on an xml base to allow updating of RipBot based on version info also working on FFD and Haali inclusive as well...

The x264 options for Blu-Ray used by the current version of RipBot (1.10.4) are less than ideal. I made two movies so far, first one is played fine by the PS3, the second one the image freezes every few seconds, when there's a lot of motion or a scene change. There might be more to it than just that, but one difference is that the first movie looks softer and there's less motion.

The current (1.10.4) Blu-Ray x264 options in RipBot are similar to the Blu-Ray preset in Sharktooth's archive of MeGUI presets:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=139765

But the problem is this: RipBot's "Blu-Ray" profile is in reality for AVCHD disks, not for Blu-Ray. That's because the disk size target is 8150 MB, which indicates an AVCHD disk (2-layer DVD) not Blu-Ray (BD disk, 25 GB).

There's no doubt about that: the PS3 recognizes the 2-layer DVD as an AVCHD disk, not as a BD.

The difference between BD and AVCHD is that the AVCHD standard only allows for smaller max bitrate and smaller buffer size. In creating AVCHD disks with a Blu-Ray encoding profile, RipBot violates the AVCHD standard.

And that's exactly what happens on my PS3. The freezing stuttering image is exactly what happens with a decoder overwhelmed by a too high bitrate or a too high buffer size. It looks at the physical support, it sees it's a DVD, so it expects an MPEG4 stream compatible with AVCHD. Instead, it gets a BD-compatible stream, at a higher max bitrate.

Here's the proof: I encoded the same movie with MeGUI, using Sharktooth's Standalone-AVC-HD preset. Then muxed and authored the disk with tsmuxer. This time it worked very well, no stuttering.

Here are the x264 options generated by the AVCHD preset (slightly edited for privacy):

x264.exe --pass 1 --bitrate 8045 --stats job1.stats --level 4.1 --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1 --bframes 3 --direct auto --subme 1 --partitions none --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --vbv-bufsize 14000 --vbv-maxrate 16500 --qcomp 0.5 --me dia --threads auto --thread-input --sar 1:1 --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output NUL job1.avs --mvrange 511 --aud --nal-hrd --sar 1:1

x264.exe --pass 2 --bitrate 8045 --stats job1.stats --level 4.1 --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1 --ref 3 --mixed-refs --bframes 3 --b-rdo --bime --weightb --direct auto --subme 6 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --vbv-bufsize 14000 --vbv-maxrate 16500 --qcomp 0.5 --me umh --threads auto --thread-input --sar 1:1 --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output job1.264 job1.avs --mvrange 511 --aud --nal-hrd --sar 1:1

As you can see, it uses smaller values for bufsize and maxrate than RipBot. As a result, the video is played just fine by the PS3. The image quality is not worse than with the Blu-Ray profile. The encoding speed is about the same.

There are some other differences, e.g. MeGUI doesn't generate a video file in the first pass, it just sends the output to NUL, which is faster.

Conclusion: if the target is DVD (8150 MB or less), an AVCHD profile must be used, with the lower maxrate and all that stuff. Otherwise it may create a disk that cannot be played on some (all?) standalone players.

If the target would be true Blu-Ray (25 GB) then fine, use a bigger buffer and maxrate if you wish.

i have a question for a friend :) hes thinking about getting a PS3 as a media device, mainly for blu ray playback and DVD etc. how easy is it to encode a ps3 friendly format using ripbot, could i then copy it to a dvd or would he need a hard drive or large memory stick etc? sorry for the noob questions :)

Interesting but I don't agree about using tsmuxer. I have made 50+ bluray rips with ripbot - all for ps3 use. Rips( dvd5 and dvd9 ) made soley using ripbot encoding and muxing all play perfectly without stuttering. If I use tsmuxer either before or after a ripbot encode the resulting AVCHD stutters and plays poorly. (DVD5 i use a bitrate 3500-6000 - DVD9 i use a bitrate 6500-9000 ).

Atak - could you include an option to cut the movie length in the next release - i.e. to remove credits and therefore allow more space for the main part of the movie? (Using tsmuxer on a ripbotted file causes playback problems).

[dm1105]

The following question goes out to the knowledgeable:

Is there any way for RipBot to continue from where it left off with the encoding process after the computer shuts off during a power outage?

Such is my dilemma. I only had under two hours left in the encoding process using RipBot when suddenly the power goes out. It was only a matter of time when the uninterruptible power supply ran out of battery power to run my computer.

Thanks.

[~bT~]

^ if u still have the temp files and finished 1st pass (assuming it was 2 pass) then just go to the temp folder and double click the 2nd pass batch file. once that's completed, you will need to click on mux batch file too.

[dm1105]

Thank you for your helpful advice ~bT~, but I decided to start the project all over again before I was able to receive your response. However, I don't feel too bad because I meant to put subtitles into the movie the first time around, and now I have the chance to do so.

I now know what to do the next time this ever occurs. Thank you again.

Atak - first off, great program. I have been able to convert several Blu Rays into MKVs without a problem. I just recently ripped 30 Days Of Night (Blu Ray) to my HDD. I am now trying to use Ripbot to create an MKV, and I get the following error message during the demuxing:

"FFmpegSource: Couldn't open c:\temp\Ripbot264temp\job1\video.mkv (C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)"

Any idea what this error message is, as I mentioned I have been able to use Ripbot264 in the past without any problems. I am simply selecting the main m2ts file. For the Blu Ray Structure, the m2ts file shows up under playlist, Chapters: 16 Chapters; Video: h264/AVC 1080p24/1.001 (16:9) ; Audio: TrueHD/AC3, English, 5.1 Channels, 48khz.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[turbojet]

I notice --nal-hrd is back in 1.10.5 is this because of a compatibility issue?

Personally I've tested most of the main stream players and it didn't make a difference with or without --nal-hrd during playback and seeking. I wouldn't be bringing it up except I've noticed it uses quite a few bits, thus lowering the available bits for the video in 2 pass mode or signifigantly raising the size in CRF (5-10% larger in the few clips I tested)

Also looks like you were able to test out P4x4, nice to see, I was only able to test on 2 players so far and there wasn't a problem.

Removing --aud also worked fine on the 2 players as long as picture timing info and SPS/PPS were checked in TSMuxer, without these 2 there was seeking issues. I don't notice any signifigant change by using --aud except a a few bits to the bitstream but insignifigant.

[womble2]

go into the profiles folder and edit it the required profile, then save.

But as far as I know, not everything could be stored in the profile, for example the resize option, or am I wrong ?

[~bT~]

^ u are correct as these profiles only hold encoder settings (x264).

[Ajax_Undone]

You know you can make your own profiles... Just because you have presets does not mean you have to use them...

Remux your file in Tsmuxer. Then it will work. Unfortunetely current version of DGAVCDec (libavcodec) cannot proper decode that kind of interlaced stream. You will see blocks from time to time.

[Pitbull_Raven]

Why the hell does it always hang after encoding audio? It just sits there saying "Normalizing audio..." even after I have double checked that I have not selected it. And even if I have selected it. Anyone have a clue as to why this is happening and how to solve it? Oh, and btw, my Task Manager shows it's running BePipe for over an hour now and the total audio file is a little over 25 minutes, using a Core2Duo e6300. Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes.

Atak - thanks. So just to clarify, I should remux the file with TSMuxer so I get a 264/AVC video file and an AC3 audio file. I would then use Ripbot, feed the individual video and audio file in to create the MKV? Sorry if this is a question you have answered many times, I really haven't needed to use TsMuxer more then a couple of times as Ripbot has handled everything I have thrown at it so far.

I recently added subtitles to a Blu-Ray movie I created using RipBot. I selected two different subtitles: one English and the other Spanish (and in that order).

However, whenever I attempt to choose the English subtitles on the Blu-ray movie, nothing shows up. The Spanish subtitles are the only ones that can be displayed.

I decided to use MediaInfo to see if the English subtitles were even placed into the movie to begin with. They were. However, I found something odd in the information it gave me about the subtitles. Here is the info I gathered concerning the subtiltes:

Text #1
ID : 4608 (0x1200)
Menu ID : 1 (0x1)
Format : PGS
Video delay : 52mn 42s
Language : English

Text #2
ID : 4609 (0x1201)
Menu ID : 1 (0x1)
Format : PGS
Language : Spanish

As you can see, there is a video delay on the English subtitles. Suggestions?

I can't run RipBot, since MP4box crashes when I try to open the input file. It's an mp4, it's 3.6 Gb and Windows Media Player says it contains the following:
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1136x640 [Video]
Audio: AAC 48000Hz stereo 1536Kbps [Audio]

What's wrong?
I've tried removing codec packs, still no go.
Are there size limits? Limits on filenames?

I start RipBot, try to load the file, MP4box crashes and RipBot says the audio is missing. I have no logs.

Oh, and how do I update all the tools used by RipBot?

Hi! I am trying to encode m2ts into H.264.
RipBot264v1.10.5
ffdshow_rev2063_20080804_clsid
Vista

Other required componets are installed.

An m2ts file is loaded ok.
Audio is AAC.

Finished, created .m2ts, not mp4.
I checked "save as mp4" in the menu.

The log is attached.

Any other components are missing ?

edit--------------
I forgot to change the default output directory. In Vista C: cannot be used.
I changed it to p:, now it is ok. mp4 is created.
But with no audio. Is AAC 2ch audio in m2ts not supported ?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Where did you get .m2ts with AAC audio? I have newer seen blu-ray/AVCHD video with AAC audio.

[pjo]

Where did you get .m2ts with AAC audio? I have newer seen blu-ray/AVCHD video with AAC audio.

In Japan, HiVision(High Definition) SAT broadcast is m2ts and AAC 2ch or 5.1ch.

I read that it can be done with RipBot264. Many users did that. But not here.

[pjo]

This time .m2ts is converted to .ts with AAC audio using tsMuxeR. The resulting .ts is palyed ok with sound with VLC.
Then .ts is fed into RipBot264. The resulting mp4 does not have sound when played with VLC or SMPlayer.

Does the AAC has to be remuxed and converted to AC-3 or wav for RipBot264 to encode in H.264 ?

WHen I then use the new .TS file with Ripbot, Ripbot tells me there is no audio source available, only video to convert. Do I have to convert the video using Ripbot, then use TSMuxer to get the AC3 stream, and use MKVMerge to then get the Audio stream with the Ripbot video file in MKV? Thanks

is it possible in any way to add more than one video (i want to create a trailer disc in blu structure) i cant find a way of adding more than one video

Nice work! I've made several successful backups to type 5 and 9 Blu-Ray, and now I'm working on converting HD DVD to BD. I had to drop in and give you credit where it's due. This is truly a great and successful effort on your part. I'm curious. I live in Florida where the weather is sometimes volatile. I had previously finished the remuxing stage which I minimize until bedtime, but a power outage that lasted for almost two hours wiped it out. Would it be possible to add a way to save the setup stage for later re-encoding in such cases? If not no big deal, it's still a great addition to the world video backup. HLG

For god sake! You were supposed to remux whole broken ts file without even touching audio! New TS file must have the same streams!

Then .ts is fed into RipBot264. The resulting mp4 does not have sound when played with VLC or SMPlayer.

Does the AAC has to be remuxed and converted to AC-3 or wav for RipBot264 to encode in H.264 ?

pjo

I was able to put AAC audio into mp4.
The original .m2ts with aac was converted to .ts with tsMuxeR.
.ts was remuxed to .mpv and .aac with tsMuxeR.
.ts and .aac were fed into RipBot264 and mp4 was created which has audio.

If the resolution is set to 1280, .mp4 is played smoothly with VLC and SMPlayer.
But if the resolution is set to 1980 ( the original is 1980) , VLC and SMPlayer cannot play it smoothly. Audio is ok.

This PC is dual core 2.4GHz with 3GB RAM. The .mp4 file is stored in eSATA drive. OS is Vista.

Looking at Performance Monitor, CPU load goes up to 80% at the peak.

Does this mean that this PC is incapable of playing 1980 mp4 smoothly ?
Or is there any workaroound ? Will other H.264 codec improve playing performance ?

Please respond to these questions.

Atak - Remuxed and now RipBot264 can open the file - but only the video field is populated in the Encoding settings. Do I select the same file (TS) for Audio or demux the Audio into AC3 and then add that file into the Audio field?

Thanks.

Depends on screen resolution and the capability of your video card I'd think...

Thanks for your post.

The Graphic Card is NVIDIA 8600 GT with 256MB video RAM.

The desktop resolution is 1920x1200. Changing it to 1280x1024 does not improve.

Please recommend better graphics card, 8700 or 8800 ?
