RipBot264 v1.18.3 - Simple and easy to use GUI -> IPOD . PSP . CONSOLES . BLURAY

[brogan]

I did notice the size difference w/the files coming in under the size a little. I also wish you could see the resolution of the files like you could in the previous versions but I do love all the additions that have been made to this awesome app, thanks Atak for all your hard work!
I have a question: if you want to keep TrueHD or DTS-HD MA for the audio track, are you able to? Will it be downsized to DD & DTS? I've never tried it but there were a few Blu-ray discs that I wanted to resize to a BD25 from a BD50 but keep the audio...thanks for your time

I had the same thought. It will be turned into DD and DTS. The only way is to reduce the total size by the size of the HD audio and mux for a second time.

[brogan]

I was thinking something along those lines...if the DTS HD MA track is say, 3 GB, set for like 19, 20000 MB in RipBot & convert it...Then once its done, demux the DTS track & remux the DTS HD MA back in (you would've had to demux the DTS HD MA track 1st in TSMuxeR to have a copy of it) I think that TSMuxeR will work w/the HD version of DTS but there is a bug that will downgrade TrueHD to DD...I could be wrong but I think that's what happens...does anyone know for sure? If this app ever supports TrueHD & DTS HD MA, I will have to go back & redo a couple dozen movies I've already done...but I would be happy to do it :)
If anyone has any suggestions for getting the HD audio on a BD25, please let me know...thanks for your help...

[Atak_Snajpera]

2nd!
I can live with 3% undersize.
But I wanted to show, that there is an undersize issue.
show me log

[Wishbringer]

show me log

Sorry, deleted.
Encodes looked fine, so I cleared all unneccessary files. Found difference when burned them onto DVD day later.

Will show logs of next encode, maybe tomorrow evening.

It would be great and make for the perfect program if Atak put copy stream for HD audio. Although I am not a programming expert it seems to me to copy stream DTS-HD and pcm audio would be as easy as copy stream of dts and dd as tsmuxer handles both of those formats well. For dolby truhd I suppose that he could have the option of converting to pcm, dd or dts as tsmuxer ruins dolby truhd. The only problem I could see is that someone might pick copy stream a hd audio for a BD5 or BD9

Exactly! And then I would have to waste my time for obvious questions like "Why video quality is SO ugly???"

[jtheripper]

Exactly! And then I would have to waste my time for obvious questions like "Why video quality is SO ugly???"

lol :p well just ignore those people if they cant figure that out. ASctually on a BD9 the video might look good since some DTS-Hd and pcm audio is like 3GB still leaving about 5GB for video

[Atak_Snajpera]

5GB for 2h+ 1080p movie? Don't expect miracles. All fine details will be washed out. If you loose fine details so what's the point of having 1080p video?

[brogan]

On a BD5/BD9, it would definitely make the video suffer a bit (I would think) but on a BD25 it would be awesome...granted, I don't have a clue as to how much work it would take to implement this option but I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated by many users...Atak, how much of a pain do you think it would be to include an option for untouched TrueHD/DTS-HD MA? Thanks for everything, as always!

[Atak_Snajpera]

Atak, how much of a pain do you think it would be to include an option for untouched TrueHD/DTS-HD MA? Thanks for everything, as always!
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that TrueHD support is broken in TSmuxer. I will think about DTS-HD MA.

[brogan]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that TrueHD support is broken in TSmuxer. I will think about DTS-HD MA.



I believe you are correct...someone posted a workaround how to get TrueHD using TSmuxer, but they used an older version (v.019)

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=144847

I appreciate you considering DTS-HD MA support, that would be awesome...

[Knocks]

Hello! Great software. I would like to see the following features:

1) Automatic loading of subtitles from MKV files. Having to extract subtitles just to load them in RipBot264 is redundant
2) Being able to save your default resizing and subtitle options (burn in or not), instead of having to select them for every file

Thank you!

[brogan]

Atak,

Would it be possible to add back the ability to see the resolution of the files added? When I'm loading up a few movies, I forget which ones are 720p & which are 1080p/i sometimes...thanks again...

RipBot264: 1.13, WinXP SP3

I can also confirm the following bugs:

1) StoreTempFilesin=AUTO has stopped working, now must specify manually

2) VC-1 was turned off by the latest ffdshow installer, causing the "codec not found" message from RipBot264 (when decoding HD-DVD). Can RipBot264 turn it back on automatically? I think a lot of people aren't aware of the switch buried deep inside the video configuration page.

3) Finally, RipBot stopped after encoding audio, manually executing the videopass1 script I got:
"unknown option -- nal-hrd"

[kenrippy]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that TrueHD support is broken in TSmuxer. I will think about DTS-HD MA.

There is an app that works great with TrueHD, it's called Ts4Np and it's based off of TsRemux.

Here are a couple links for Ts4Np to get you started:

Installed 1.13 and showed tools not installed, so i downloaded
avisynth, ffdshow and haali..

install all three, rebooted, ran ripbot again and it
says haali not installed.. it's there in the program files section..

any clues ?? this is a virgin machine, no other codecs installed yet..

When you say works great w/TrueHD, what do you mean exactly? Have you been able to successfully burn a BD5, BD9 or BD25 w/TrueHD on it? Or been able to created a BD structure to play through PowerDVD or some other software player? I'm personally trying to get a TrueHD track on a BD25 & play it on a standalone player...Just wanted some confirmation as to how this particular app works...I know it's supposed to be the new version of TSRemux but that's about all I know about it...thanks...

feature request:
do u think that it would be possible to enable CUDA w/ RipBot264, for those folks w/ NVIDIA graphics cards? i have no idea how difficult that would be to accomplish but from what i read it would lower encoding times significantly.
- NVIDIA CUDA (http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_what_is.html)
- Tom's Hardware CUDA intro (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-cuda-gpu,1954.html)

You state that k-lite codec pack should be uninstalled so I did. But now my ripped dvd's wont play audio anymore. What codec do you suggest?

Select all audio/video formats during install.

demuxing, encoding, remuxing times:
just curious to find out how long it takes others who use RipBot264. my rig: vista 64-bit, intel i7 920, 12GB ram;
-> demux =~ 20min
-> video/audio encoding =~ 1.5hrs @ 20fps to 6.5hrs @ 8.6fps
-> remux =~ 20min
slow, average, good? i know its gonna be diff for just about everyone depending on their rigs and apps loaded. just curious.

It is the x264 taking so long not ripbot.

Demux up to 40 minutes.

4.6fps pass 1 and 2fps pass 2 at 720p. At 1080p, it takes not much more than 1fps and a very long time.

Remux is about 15 minutes.

[Knocks]

Contrary to release notes, automatic SSA subtitle loading from MKV wasn't fixed in 1.13.0. Did it get fixed in 1.13.1?

[prettyboy85712]

Too many variables to make a comparison.

What I mean is that Ts4Np will output either in .ts, .m2ts, or BD structure, just like TsRemux does. But this app will actually output a playable TrueHD track, unlike TsMuxer & TsRemux. I don't burn the files, I play them on a Popcorn Hour A110. I don't see why the BD output wouldn't be playable from a BD25 disc on a stand alone BD player. I don't have a burner or stand alone player to test it.

[kenrippy]

Thanks Atak_Snajpera for the new version (1.13.1) - hopefully all is working good.
Any feedback from the masses on this one yet???

edit: quick question;
Is it possible to change the font used in the GUI, if so how? I find it hard to see compared to the previous versions. thanks

[Wishbringer]

How are subtitles from bluray handled?
Will they be muxed automatically?
Or do I have to select them manually after demuxing is finished?

Excuse the OT, but does Ts4NP handle DTS HD formats ok? I ahve always used TsRemux/Ts4NP for TrueHD and TsMuxer for DTS HD. I heard DTS HD was broken in TsRemux and I assumed it would be the same for Ts4NP as well.

I am trying the latest Ripbot and it is working great just as before.

You have to add the sup files in after the BD is finished demuxing. Click on add subtitles and select the sup file.

[prettyboy85712]

Is there a work around for the sup 1080P limitation? I'd like to try re-encoding at 720P.

I haven't done it through ripbot but I have used tsmuxer (before version 1.13) to manually mux a 1080p sup with a 720p video and it looks fine.

Thanks. I went ahead and started a BD encode with Ripbot at 720P just out of curiosity. I normally encode 2-pass to DVD5, but at 1080P it's a bit of a stretch.

[xaero]

Feature Request?

1. audio encoding lower than 64k, like 32kpbs for example.
reason: i re-encode podcasts (epicfu and such) for my nokia, its not like i care alot about the super duper crisp audio quality coming from the built-in speaker or the crappy default earphones that came along with my phone...

2. 1 pass target bitrate encoding.
reason: usually i expect somewhere from 90~150kbps video bitrate when using CQ26, but still get 200+kbps for some AVI files. 1p quick and dirty target bitrate might do the trick...

is it possible?

[Atak_Snajpera]

1. No
2. No

[prettyboy85712]

I"m using Vista 64 and have a i7 920 processor. Is there any benefit to switch from ffdshow mt to ffdshow 64 with Ripbot264?

MT is faster than any ffdshow x64!

[GZZ]

Is it just me or those the x264 64bit encoder output 25 fps ?

But the output framerate on my video.264 is 25.000 fps (I ran it in DGavcDec) ?

[nurbs]

If you feed raw yuv to x264 IIRC framerate must be specified with the --fps parameter. Either a bug or Atak just forgot.

[GZZ]

Must be a bug, as I see the input framerate from avs2yuv (10000000/417083) but I dont think x264 sees this and output a default 25 fps stream, which is wrong.

[Atak_Snajpera]

This is not serious bug because it will be corrected after muxing to container. I will fix this next time.

[GZZ]

is the solution to set the --FPS 10000000/417083 or will --FPS 24000/1001 be correct or dosnt it matter which one I use ?

Atak,

Why did you turn off the VC-1 codec on the ffdshow video config page?

I installed ffdshow (rev2672) check the video config page, and the VC-1 was enabled using libavcodec.

Ran RipBot264 (1.13.1) and added HD-DVD video, I got a no compressor found message. Checked the video config page and VC-1 was set to "disabled".

[8ternity]

@Atak:

Hey Atak_Snajpera, did you see the MT application for AVIsynth ?

Thanks!!

[xaero]

1. No
2. No

oh well.. :cool:

[mmmmdonut]

what are you talking about?

lol. Sorry about that. Should have clarified a little better. Anyway looking at mediainfo on a few of my encodes, I notice some (primarily animation titles) have a codec id of isom and on the majority of other flicks the codec id is M4VH.


Format : MPEG-4
Format profile : Base Media
Codec ID : isom

Format : MPEG-4
Format profile : Apple TV
Codec ID : M4VH

All my files are created using Apple TV profile and resized to play back on that device. Like I mentioned before I'm not having any issues just trying to understand where this is coming from.

Cheers

ok, this new version no longer remembers my setting for audio, resize, audio boost etc.
older version remembered most settings after adding the 1st vid and was handy for when i encoded vidz for ipod.
now i have to set it up all again for every new vid i add..

[Atak_Snajpera]

I installed ffdshow (rev2672) check the video config page, and the VC-1 was enabled using libavcodec.

wmv9 is better decoder for VC-1 than libavcodec. libavcodec does not support interlaced video (for example recorded gig) and is a little less stable than microsoft's decoder. You better install WMV11.

What did you that resize is not remebered?

[~bT~]

^ in v1.12.0 for conversion to ipod format

i load any file, set audio to 96kbps, set normalize to 200%, set cq22, hit properties and set resize to POD. then hit OK and OK to save.

next i load any file again, once all the scanning, demuxing etc is done, i dont need to set any options as they were remembered from previos save.

in v1.13.1

i have to set all options again on every new file loaded after the 1st one.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Ok. I confirm. Audio profile and normalize are not remebered as well as iPod resize profile.

Everytime I install WMP9 and WME9 it causes RipBot to stop working correctly.

After installing those 2 apps, whenever RipBot is done demuxing the audio it tries to open the avs in MPC and spits out a ACM :: Output Wrapper error, or something like that.

So I steer clear of installing those applications. I've tested many times and the only time Ripbot gives me those errors is right after installing those apps.

wmv9 is better decoder for VC-1 than libavcodec. libavcodec does not support interlaced video (for example recorded gig) and is a little less stable than microsoft's decoder. You better install WMV11.

I opened ffdshow video config again, wmv9 is listed under VC-1, so I changed it from libavcodec to wmv9. What puzzled me was why RipBot264 made the change for me? And then when I ran RipBot264 again , this setting would stick, and everything was fine after that.

BTW, I have WMP11 installed, running XP-SP3.

[Atak_Snajpera]

WMP11 decoder is used in two cases:
1) user selects disabled
2) user selects wmv9

Here what I did:
1) if app detects that libavcodec is enabled then disabled is selected
2) if app detects that wmv9 is enabled then it does not change anything

Has anyone had any trouble converting Vicky Cristina Barcelona? I did Lakeview Terrace and Barcelona in the same queue, and I wound up with the audio from Lakeview Terrace on the Barcelona conversion...

What was weird, though, was that when I was setting up Barcelona, I got an error message when I tried to preview the job. It said something about not being able to render certain pins in the graph re: ACM Wrapper::output or something.

Just curious as to what this would be.

[Atak_Snajpera]

give me more info about video and audio

[dchao]

Here what I did:
1) if app detects that libavcodec is enabled then disabled is selected
2) if app detects that wmv9 is enabled then it does not change anything

I think this is very confusing for users. Because the default VC-1 setting in ffdshow is libavcodec, even when WMP11/10 is installed and wmv9 is listed as an option. So the first time an user loads a VC-1 video, and the first message hit the user is "no compressor found" with no explanation what so ever.

Can you change the behavior of the app in step (1). So it works like this:

1) if app detects libavcodec is enabled then check if wmv9 is installed, if so change this setting to wmv9, otherwise disable VC-1.

[Wishbringer]

@Atak_Snajpera:

I can change ini that it uses 2-pass instead of CQ and can set bitrate and bluray struct as output...
But can I set encode for fixed size (DVD9 8150MB) in ini per default?

Hello.

I was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem that I am. Using 1.13.0 or 1.13.1 my output speed for a 23.976 movie is changed to 25 during the conversion. This happens even if I assume > 23.975. The weird thing is that the mkv is perfectly synced, but when i run through tsmuxer the audio is seconds off. I've tried multiple movies and the outcome is the same. I've rolled back to 1.12.0 and everything works. Any ideas?

By default VC-1 and WMV1/2/3 are disabled in ffdshow. Remove ffdshow and all registry settings and see yourself if you don't believe me.

Hi Atak,

Still have the same trouble when convert an MKV 1080P to Blu-Ray 1080P but 23.97FPS audio is not syncronized.

Softwares: Ripbot 1.13.1, ffdshow 2633MT, Avisynth 2.5.8, matroska latest.

Can you help me with that please??

Note: I try convert 23,97FPS and 24 FPS and audio still desync.

Here the desync time snapshot to 23.97FPS;

After conversion done, audio out of sync.

Thanks for the sup support.

[illestdomer2005]

Vicky Christina Barcelona has a 2 channel PCM audio as the only audio track. Ripbot converts this to Flac, but I cannot get the audio to sync.

It's actually a 3 channel audio track that for some reason limits RipBot to 2 channels...? But yeah, I got the FLAC file that was apparently never used and did not contain the dialogue channel...at least not mixed properly for my 2 channel headphone out.

I also demuxed it to a wav file and tried to tell RipBot to use it as the audio track, but no luck. It still grabbed the Lakeview Terrace audio that was in a previous job.

[illestdomer2005]

give me more info about video and audio

What do you want to know? The video is VC-1 1080p 24fps, and the audio is a 3 channel LPCM soundtrack. Do you want the media info stats from the .m2ts file?

[Blackwalker]

hi Atak, first of thx for your hard work.
are you going to release a new version?
thx!

[Atak_Snajpera]

and the audio is a 3 channel LPCM soundtrack.
send me 50 mb flac or pcm sample

[Nemesis7]

Hi Atak_Snajpera, glad to see you added soft subs to Ripbot264. Is there a possibility you can make (multiple) srt subs work on the iPhone?

Btw, can you make it possible to change the frequency of audio in the main menu instead of the avs file (48000 -> 44100) and allow us to enter a custom bitrate for audio as well?

Thanx.

[Atak_Snajpera]

@8ternity

Bluray chapters seem to be broken in 1.13.0.

If I advance chapter on standalone, it hangs, then returns to the beginning of the disc.

It worked fine in 1.12.0.:confused:

Hi Wakebrder,
Did you find the fix for this issue?
I have them same prob as you on a Panny BD35 standalone but NO probs with PowerDVD on the pc.
AVCHD movie chapters seem to be broken in 1.13.0 and 1.13.1. If I advance the chapter on BD35 standalone, it hangs, then returns to the beginning of the disc.

Its working fine on 1.12.0.

[nwg]

I have done one Blu Ray with 1.13.1 and it didn't keep the chapters. They are in 5m intervals rather than the expected original chapters.

I am going back to 1.12.0 as that worked fine for me for what I needed.

[illestdomer2005]

send me 50 mb flac or pcm sample

What do I need to use to cut it? I have the 3 channel wav file that I demuxed, and RipBot couldn't/didn't use it either.

[Atak_Snajpera]

in temp folder you should have audio.1.pcm.flac file. Use DGsplit to create 50 MB sample

@wakebrder and @Discoboy
Are you using windows 64bit?

[Discoboy]

Yes am using Vista 64bit SP1

Edit ripbot264.ini file like shown and try again. Don't forget to restart RipBot264
Usex264x64=0

Just done bluray to DVD9 with X264 64bit OFF

@nwg and @kenrippy,
1.13.1 Chapters have all been as the original chapter splits just like 1.13.0 and 1.12.0, not seen this 5mins split issue as yet

@Atak_Snajpera,
Seems X264 64bit was this issue, with the ini set to=0 now my Panny BD35 stand-alone chapters skip is now working again correctly ;-)

I also noticed the final file size (2pass encoding) is back to being within a 2-3MB of the full DVD-9. When using 1.13.0 and or 1.13.1 with X264 64 bit enabled the final files sizes were around 300MB short of the DVD9 full size

Only down side is the X264 64bit ver was saving me around 1 hours of total encoding time....

[Quatre]

I have a mkv file with 1 ref frame too many causing it to not play in the popcorn hour even after remuxing to .ts in tsMuxeR. I have learned the fix is to reencode to mkv with this prog or Media Coder or megui.

this is supposedly the simpler/easier prog of the 3.

my only question is how do i see if i have codec packs like K-Lite , CCCP , Vista Codec Packs or similar, to uninstall them? are they in controlpanel>add remove?

and while i see this prog described as not havign extra unneccesary settings I'm wonderign what settings i do need to set to just reencode an mkv to mkv again but fixing the ref frame issue. i guess it needs 4 ref frame instead of 5.

[Quatre]

I will post the info of the file in case it helps. but mostly I just need to know what to set the settings to in RipBot64 to reencode this file and fix the ref frame issue.

Don't worry about removing the codec packs etc. unless necessary. They will usually be listed under add/remove programs.

I have a popcorn hour also, and I use this often. Here are my settings...

Profile: Level 4.0 HD, Bluray, Consoles (I made a custom profile @ Level 4.1, 40000 buffer, 40000 max bitrate and left all else the same - I use it on all my encodes)
Mode: 2 pass & in lower right corner check the box "lock size" and choose 8150. that will give you a 7.95gb file (same as your original)
Output: MKV that will set the audio portion for you.
subtitles are off by default. you can snoop around in the other options, but nothing else needs to be changed. choose your save as location and name and you're done.

Anyone got the soft subtitle track (.sup) to display on PS3 yet?

Compressed the video to H264 1920x1080, no crop, no resizing. Specified the original .sup subtitle file. And set output to the AVCHD .bluray folder. Burned the image to +R DL with ImgBurn.

Took it to PS3, pressed the triangle button during play, the subtitle track list came up. However, after selecting it, there was still no subtitle. :confused:

Any sugguestion?

[Adub]

Do you have anything against hardcoding the subtitle?

I don't like subtitle permanently displayed, kind of distracting, but it's very helpful for understanding some dialogs.

Atak,

I've just tried RipBot.

It is wonderfull.

But just one suggestion:

Why not set the user free to use another decoder?

I don't think forcing user to use FFDShow is the best idea.

Thanks.


_ _ _ _ _ _

[Atak_Snajpera]

You can use CoreAVC as well but don't forget to disable h.264 decoder in ffdshow. BTW Why should I use anything else than ffmpeg-mt???

I don't think forcing user to use FFDShow is the best idea.
It's the most versatile decoder available at the moment! It works very well for me.

Note about subtitles:

The ssatosrt.exe program (which I assume you wrote for this), when converting subtitles to srt format (from .ass in this case I tried) the new-line characters are lost. If I manually convert the subtitles in Subtitle Workshop, the new-line characters are kept and the subtitles work fine on my PS3 (AVCHD formatted output).

Just wanted to let you and anyone else know as it took me a couple weeks on and off to figure out why the subtitles which were fine in the original no longer fit on the screen :). Would have take much less time if I just looked at it carefully the first time...kinda obvious now that I know what happens.

Oh, and by the way, :thanks: for RipBot

[Atak_Snajpera]

Could you show me exactly what went wrong. Simple example:) Send me your .ass as well. Use www.mediafire.com

[Donlac]

I can't get a screenshot of the subtitles in the bluray format as I don't know how to play them on my PC with subtitles (makes it kinda annoying for testing, but sneakernet isn't too bad).

Here is an example of the issue in action:
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=6b80017509694e696b21be4093fab7ace04e75f6e8ebb871

Containing:
subtitle_1.ass is the original from the mkv file.
subtitle_1.srt is the version converted by ssatosrt
subtitle_1_SW.srt is the version of subtitle_1.ass converted by Subtitle Workshop

As another option, you might want to include an automatic line wrapping at a length which keeps the text over the image (width of the line might be hard to figure out, but you already have the width of the video at least).

Let me know if you need something else.

ok thankyou very much. I had already started it before you replied and I just did default settings cus I didn't even see the ... to go into the video settings. I'm used tot hat symbol being for picking a file but now i see the settings you speak of are in there. megui has too many settings and filters that can mess it up but ripbot I didn't see any settings. like i said i foudn them now and will try your settings.

I already reencoded the poorly encoded file with the 5 ref frames but the defaults were 3 ref frame and level 4.0 instead of 4.1 and a few other things I think that are not ideal so i will just redo it now with your settings. It takes like 6 hours though so i'm trying to start before I go out for the day so it can be done when i get back. I bought 3d glasses to watch this 1080p 3d x264 of Journey to the Center of the Earth so shame it turned out to be poorly encoded enough to not work on the pch even after remuxing to .ts in tsMuxeR. there is a 720p version but i think even reencoded the 1080p should be better.

it shouldn't degrade the quality right just reencoded it to the same x264 .mkv as long as the settings are right as you've pointed out. i think ultimately the only thing diff from the orig mkv will be the proper 4 ref frames cus i think at 5 was causing all the problems but still i'm concerned because how could just 1 ref frame higher cause that much problem especially when remuxing to .ts usually fixes everything. not only was it no video or freezing video , it was all pixelated too.

oh well hopefully reencoding helps and then i can always run that finished product through tsMuxeR also.

edit:
hm, I didn't see where to put "Profile: Level 4.0 HD, Bluray, Consoles" as you said. and I did "custom profile @ Level 4.1, 40000 buffer, 40000 max bitrate and left all else the same"

I also didn't see where to put "Mode: 2 pass & in lower right corner check the box "lock size" and choose 8150. that will give you a 7.95gb file (same as your original) "

I dont know if i have a diff version of RipBot (I'm using verion 1.13.1) or what but I think the settings i chose should turn out ok.

Thanks for samples. I will fix this in next version.

I have Ati card so I can not help you. Besides I would have to pay for this software :( Is there any trial version?No trial, nor does it work with ATI cards.

For those who wish to use it w/RB, it's easy too just to extract with eac3to or one of its GUIs HdBrStreamExtractor or ClownBD, use DGXXXIndexNV, then open an .avs with RipBot (and your audio stream) and continue from there.

I also have used RipBot264 just to open my .avs/.audio just to get an accurate bitrate, then encoded to x264 completely separately.

RipBot264 is excellent, and IMO unique in that Atak you've nailed the "target size" calculations for BR DVD-recordable output--I've never gone over, and usually am within 400 sectors of perfect! Good work! :)

the Level 4.0 HD, Bluray, Consoles option is in the profile section under video on the main screen. just drop down the arrow to see other options. after making a custom profile, it will show up under the Level 4.0 option and say "custom".

2-pass mode is under the FPS box. it usually says CQ but you drop down the arrow to choose "2-pass". after doing that, look at the lower left corner of the main screen to find the box to check that says "lock size". then choose 8150 for a 7.95gb result.

If x264 crashes from command line then I would contact with neuron. I assume that x264 does not crash when ffdshow is used for decoding instead of GFX, right?

Yes, but the question is not GFX decoder since MeGui does the encoding with same avs.

[papaTRIX]

atak > ps3 does NOT support .mkv. ps3mediaserver (http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/) transcodes the .mkv file on the fly w/ MEncoder, tsMuxer or AVISynth + ffdshow.

otherwise, will the settings i described give me a lossless quailty .mkv or do i need to tweak a few of the settings?

[rica]

Question: Does x264 crash when you use software decoder?

No.

Used three ways:

1) m2ts opening with RB directly; it works with ffdshow.
2) graph based avs opening so as to bypass ffdshow; it works.
3) dga based avs opening created by DGAVCDecodeNV and served by CUVID Server so as to bypass ffdshow; it doesn't work.

Now i'm trying with SW based free DGAVC. It uses libav as ffdshow does.

I'll share the result when it's done.

What's the name of audio file?

[rica]

What's the name of audio file?

That's just a video without an audio.
It is a dga file, video only.
Here is the original script file:

LoadPlugin("C:\users\rica\desktop\Tools\DGAVC\DGAVCDecode.dll")
AVCSource("C:\users\rica\desktop\test4\testvideo_out.dga")

And this is the avs created by RB264; avs > avs:

#MT


#VideoSource

video=DirectShowSource("C:\Users\rica\Desktop\TEST4\kil.avs",audio=false).ConvertToYV12()

IS there any way, or any plan to support in the future x264 farm, or whatever the program is called? Even to a small scale, it can take hours on a quad core to convert a HDDVD or Bluray, any extra distributed power may help lower that time, plus I have access to a few dual-quad core machines in my lab at work, so I'd be interested in seeing this functionality added later.

awesome program regardless however, keep up the great work.

I do believe that this is a GUI that controls x264 codec not the x264 codec it self. So you might want to talk with these guys (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=89979)...:)

the Level 4.0 HD, Bluray, Consoles option is in the profile section under video on the main screen. just drop down the arrow to see other options. after making a custom profile, it will show up under the Level 4.0 option and say "custom".

2-pass mode is under the FPS box. it usually says CQ but you drop down the arrow to choose "2-pass". after doing that, look at the lower left corner of the main screen to find the box to check that says "lock size". then choose 8150 for a 7.95gb result.

kenrippy, thank you very much and sorry for my noobness. I guess I was in a rush and somehow and didn't see where to choose "2-pass" but once you said it is where it says CQ by default i found it. changing it to to 2-pass then opens up the "lock size" box so thats why I didn't see that.

looks like I will have to try this a third time and for some reason it takes 6 hrs even though I have a quad core and i uncheck low priority which i'm assuming makes ripbot not take up some much memory and cpu resources so you can do other stuff but i unchecked that to give ripbot high priority hoping that would make it faster.

hopefully 3rd times a charm. my only other question was why you dont change the default r-frame to 4 which i think is the more ideal for 1080p stuff while 5 is too high and 3 possible too low? and then i would think youd want the bframe to be 4 also to match since they are both 3 by default and sounds like you leave them that way. since you said you use those settings I guess i will leave them at 3 also just to be sure it works but i'm thinking 4 would be fine and possibly more ideal.

other then possibly upping the r-frame (which i'm assuming is ref frame as i see in the bottom info) and the b-frame both from 3 to 4, i will keep these settings now for future mkv encode.

I usually dont need to do it though as like i said running through tsMuxeR makes most any mkv even 1080p with dts work flawless on the pch because it handles .ts more easily even intensive ones. but this may come in handy again.

usually i just get another release but in the case of Journey to the Center of the Earth, there is only one 1080p release in 3d so i guess my 3d glasses for the woman and i will have to wait cus i have to encode this one again for another 6 hours in ripbot but now that i have the settings right thanks to you it should be good after this.

thanks again.

[Quatre]

Don't worry about removing the codec packs etc. unless necessary. They will usually be listed under add/remove programs.

I have a popcorn hour also, and I use this often. Here are my settings...

Profile: Level 4.0 HD, Bluray, Consoles (I made a custom profile @ Level 4.1, 40000 buffer, 40000 max bitrate and left all else the same - I use it on all my encodes)
Mode: 2 pass & in lower right corner check the box "lock size" and choose 8150. that will give you a 7.95gb file (same as your original)
Output: MKV that will set the audio portion for you.
subtitles are off by default. you can snoop around in the other options, but nothing else needs to be changed. choose your save as location and name and you're done.
click "done" then "start"

though as i said, i hopefully wont have to do this too often but just in case I was wondering one other thing cus i noticed you said that choosing 8150 "will give you a 7.95gb file (same as your original)" so I was just wondering how you determine what to pick there.

You dont always pick 8150? i guess it will depend on the size of your file what you pick there if you want to keep it as unchanged as possible and just need to reencode like in this case to fix something. how do you figure out what to pick there? is 8150 in mb or something so thats as close to my 7.95gb file?

also are you sure about leaving the rframe and bframe as the default 3? orig file is 5 which was the problem but i'm pretty sure that the rframe setting is ref frame and that 4 is ideal, and i guess youd want to match the bframe as 4 also though i'm not familiar with what that is.

again though you did say you use these settings on 1080p stuff so i guess ill leave it but i'm thinking since its only aC3 sound and not dts plus once i remux it to .ts, that ref frame 4 will not only work perfect but maybe be better quality?

edit: well last one i did, i changed the rframe and brame to 4 but hadn't changed the bitrate to 40,000 like you suggested or changed CQ to 2-pass so this time I'm doing your exact settings and the good news, it only sayd 2hrs now instead of 6!

edit2: i guess just the first part of the reencode was 2hrs. now during the 2 pass it says eta 6hrs again. I'm letting it go but if didn't already mention, i tired the original mkv on a whim figuring no way it will work since the .ts doesn't (as usually if the mkv doesn't the .ts will but if the .ts doesn't which is rare to never, then the mkv def wont). I mean it will probably be better off reencoded with the proper 4 ref frames but I think even just reencoding it to mkv still is one step further form the source so if the original mkv works i'm best off with that. I just hope that remuxing to .ts doesn't dip or degrade in quality at all cus thats what I usually do.

i'm thinking the reencode now with 3 (according to kenrippy's recommended settings) or 4 ref frames and the proper settings will not only make a working mkv but also a working .ts (unlike the original mkv with 5 ref frames) if I took this reencoded mkv and remuxed it to .ts again but that probably wont be neccesary.

RipBot doesn't work with DGAVCDecodeNV while MeGui does.

works fine here.. even without audio.

[JuanGDL]

Hi Atak_Snajpera


Excellent software, for me it is the best, I congratulate you.

:thanks:

A request, it would be good, more tracks of audio are able inclur and to be able to select color of subtitles for format bluray.

[illestdomer2005]

in temp folder you should have audio.1.pcm.flac file. Use DGsplit to create 50 MB sample

@wakebrder and @Discoboy
Are you using windows 64bit?

Atak,

Here's the 50MB .flac sample (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=1ea994ced90e51b46e7203eb87368129e04e75f6e8ebb871)It's the first however many minutes. It's apparently a funky three channel mix that, as I understand, a L/C/R mix with very little going on in the left and right channels, mostly center channel dialogue.

Let me know if you come up with any solutions, which I know you will, because you always do ;) Again, the problem is that WMP Classic brings up the error "ACM Wrapper::Output" when I try to preview the job, and so far I have been unable to convert the video with the audio that RipBot demuxs and converts to .flac OR the .wav audio that I have demuxed from the original PCM stream.

Thanks in advance!

Ripbot has worked fine for a handful of movies but now I am getting this error that pops up when I attempt to encode another one.

What type of video file is it (i.e., is it MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VC-1)? And do you have ffdshow set up to decode that codec? I know that ffdshow comes with VC-1 disabled by default, and that might be the problem...if your movie is VC-1.

Just a thought.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate the reply. I should have been more specific in my earlier post. I am encoding to .mkv and that is what the ones that worked are too as I do have ffdshow enabled to play them (and have watched the ones I have encoded). As far as I can tell, nothing changed between one working and the next not working.

Any other ideas?

You are talking about the encoding stage, not the playback stage though, correct? In other words, you have encoded (ripped) other files to .mkv, but now you are getting this error message?

What, specifically, are you trying to encode?

[kenrippy]

I use those numbers depending on the quality of the mkv. If it's a 720p re-encode, I will change it to 4480 mb size. It will give a 4.37gb result. You can type any size in the box if you want, it's up to you. I just prefer to keep my 1080p encodes at 7.95gb if possible. The quality and size is just right for me, the look as good as the original BD in my opinion.

also are you sure about leaving the rframe and bframe as the default 3? orig file is 5 which was the problem but i'm pretty sure that the rframe setting is ref frame and that 4 is ideal, and i guess youd want to match the bframe as 4 also though i'm not familiar with what that is.

I leave it at 3 reframes to be safe. see below:
profile L4.1

Max macroblocks per second = 245760

Max frame size (macroblocks) = 8192

Max ref.frames 1920x1080 = 4

Max ref.frames 1920x816 = 5

Max ref.frames 1280x720 = 9

Max ref.frames 1280x544 =10


I have a quad core @ 3.6ghz with 4gb of ram. They usually take a little over 4 hours to do a 1080p 2pass re-encode. I found that setting it to "low priority" makes little difference in the time it takes, so I leave it on low priority so I can use the computer for other things while encoding. All 4 cores still are just about maxxed out while encoding.

I have both the 3D and 2D 1080p versions of Journey to the Center of the Earth that you're speaking of. The exact same release group I'm sure (HD1080 & BDiSC). And, I also bought the correct glasses - they need to be a special color, not the usual 3d glasses. This movie is amazing in 3D. My kid won't keep her glasses on, so I often watch the 2D version with her.

Yes I have encoded other files to .mkv, but now the error message pops up a few seconds after ripbot starts "analyzing the streams" just prior to when it would start demuxing.

I am trying to encode .mts files that I have ripped from blu-ray discs to a HD .mkv.

[KingViper]

First off, great piece of software! I really makes ripping Blu-ray movies easy. I have a couple feature requests that I think might help the software. Please let me know if any of these are out of the question.

Move video.264 within job folder and don't delete until job is deleted. (I've had errors with MKVMerge that resulted in the video of a movie ripped during a batch overwritten by the next movie in line, even though the video was fine. So I had to re-rip)
Current MKVMerge does not support over 100 chapters 2.4.2 does. (I've replcaed my executable and it seems to work fine)
How many scenarios is AutoCrop using?
Can ripbot extract multiple subtitle files at once?
Can we have ripbot downmux TruHD and DTS-HD audio to AC3. (I know TSMuxer can do it)
Put the total time in the title of the Job Name after it completes.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

[nwg]

Can we have ripbot downmux TruHD and DTS-HD audio to AC3. (I know TSMuxer can do it)
!

Ripbot is just a GUI for other programs. You can already downmix TrueHD or DTS-HD to AC3 as it uses eac3to to do it. Just select the audio in the select stream then select 640k AC3 encoding in the audio section.

[Prius]

Hallo,
is it possible to configure ripbot264 so, that it lets the video untouched and encodes only one mpg audio stream to AC3? Or is there a different way, to do that with a command line?
:thanks:Prius

[hoju3508]

I used tsmuxer to demux the following VC1 source:

Decoding VC-1 stream (track 1): Profile: Advanced@3 Resolution: 1920:1080p Frame rate: 23.976
Decoding TRUE-HD stream (track 2): Bitrate: 640Kbps AC3 core + HD data. Sample Rate: 48KHz Channels: 6
Decoding PGS stream (track 3): Resolution: 1920:1080 Frame rate: 23.976
Processed 184574 video frames
Demux complete.

I get a .vc1 (video), .ac3 (audio) & .sup (subtitle) file. When I tried to add the .vc1 file, RipBot264 doesn't support this.

Is this normal or am I missing something?

[Atak_Snajpera]

urrent MKVMerge does not support over 100 chapters 2.4.2 does. (I've replcaed my executable and it seems to work fine)
I will update this tool as well.

How many scenarios is AutoCrop using?
I use default settings. see autocrop documentation.

Can ripbot extract multiple subtitle files at once?
in future I will add this option

Can we have ripbot downmux TruHD and DTS-HD audio to AC3. (I know TSMuxer can do it)
eac3to tool is set to always extract only ac3 part from TrueHD/AC3 audio. The same rule applies to DTS. You always get DTS-core (1.5Mbps)

Put the total time in the title of the Job Name after it completes.
I will see what I can do later.

Is this normal or am I missing something?
is there any reason why you used TSMuxer instead of eac3to?

[illestdomer2005]

Yes I have encoded other files to .mkv, but now the error message pops up a few seconds after ripbot starts "analyzing the streams" just prior to when it would start demuxing.

I am trying to encode .mts files that I have ripped from blu-ray discs to a HD .mkv.

Ok, so for the .m2ts that you are ripping, what type of video is it? AVC, MPEG-2, or VC-1? Or you could just tell me what movie you're ripping, and I'll look it up.

[teddykgb1570]

That is a good question, and I honestly don't know. I was trying to do Kingdom of Heaven. Oddly enough, I think I found what was causing the problem. The subtitles menu when it first analyzed the disc defaulted to just "SRT". When I left it at that is when I had the problem. When I actually selected the English subtitles from the dropdown it is currently analyzing normally and I'm thinking it will encode as well. Will report back if not but could this be a bug?

[drealit]

Strange issue...

just updated to 1.13.1 from 1.11.5 and FFDShow to 2633 and also the latest Haali's I could download (1/11/09??). Now I'm trying to demux Eastern Promises (I did this HD disc before but forgot about the subtitled scenes so I'm redoing it). The problem is that for some reason with 1.13.1 it is taking forever to demux. I'm letting it go right now to see how long exactly it will take... but from what I can tell it's taking 2-5 minutes per % point and I know that isn't right... either I'm missing something or something just isn't working correctly and I don't know enough about this to fix it.

Ripbot has worked pretty decently for me for 2 months now excluding the random freezes etc. I would encounter from time to time (endless encodes etc.)... but this problem is just very strange since the demux portion should be pretty straight forward. I don't think it's the disc because I've already ripped/encoded this once over with 1.11.5... something is different and obviously wrong.

Edit: Getting worse - started around 2am... I'm only at 18% and it's about to be 3am. I'm going to sleep now this is definitely strange...

There seems something wrong with the Trim function. In the application I edit the avs script to Trim(121,0)

But when I open the actual avs script it says Trim(0,2359)

what do you use for decoding? CoreAVC or FFDshow?

Hi Atak_Snajipera,

Is 1.13.2 now fully upped to mediafire as when I tried to down although the download links states file of 18.22MB only 527KB gets downed and so file is indicated as corrupt?

Many thanks

[prettyboy85712]

Download works fine for me.

[dalemccl]

I've tried 4 times to download it and each time the resulting file is a different length, each one less than 18.22 MB, although one was close. Maybe MediaFire is having problems at the moment. I'll keep trying.

[Discoboy]

Ok got it downed now, used the Videohelp site web link to down it:)

No one to help me solve the trimming problem? If it's a software bug, I can wait, but if it's my faullt, I'd like to fix it. Thanks.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Guess what mate :) It didn't work. At first it crashed at the 2nd pass (never had that before), so then I replaced the x264_64bit version with the patched one you recommended; no crash but an error pretty much (see below). I run Vista x64

so then I replaced the x264_64bit version
which one did you use?

BTW show me those errors. I see only warning!

[Nemesis7]

I first used the SSE3 version (regular, no mp4) then the SSE2 version (regular, no mp4). I have a core2duo processor btw.

The errors are in the log:
x264 [error]: 2nd pass has more frames than 1st pass (2360 vs 2239)

x264 [error]: x264_encoder_open failed

[Atak_Snajpera]

i included these
x264.r1114M.SSE2.x32.imk.exe
x264.r1114M.SSE2.x64.imk.exe

You can use 32bit as well
edit ripbot264.ini

[Nemesis7]

Editing the ini file did the trick!

Now the first 5 seconds are cut off but the end is cut off as well (white picture for 10 seconds). You can try it yourself with the inglorious basterds trailer @ http://us.rd.yahoo.com/movies/hdtrailers/hdpage/inglouriousbasterds/1080/?http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/process/qtlHD.qtl?node_id=11988604&hdtype=1080p

I added Trim(121,0) to the avs script in the properties menu of ripbot

p.s. the audio is way out of sync, it doesn't seem to get trimmed :(

[~bT~]

try again with new version

great stuff atak! it all seems to be like before, working perfectly..touch wood :) :thanks:

Has anyone had any problems converting 29.97 fps to 23.976 fps? I use a HD PVR to record movies to my PC (1080i, 29.97 fps, 5.1DD) & then convert them to Blu-ray @1080p (AVCHD) in RipBot...my rips have always come out near perfect until I started using 1.13.0 & the next couple of revisions...I load the .ts file, choose Deinterlace > Top Field First 29.97 & then Decimate > Restore to 23.976...the audio & video become completely out of sync & the video stutters...it didn't do this in earlier versions...I loaded up the same file I converted earlier today after updating to 1.13.2 & it played out of sync in the Preview...I went back to 1.12.0 & loaded up the same file & it plays perfectly in sync...I have no idea why...this is in Windows 7 x64bit on a i970 Quad Core w/6 GB of RAM...

[drealit]

New problem that I have had since getting over my first problem (last page)... this one happens in versions 1.13.0, .1 and .2:

http://img3.imageshack.us/my.php?image=53979942pt3.jpg

This happens after the rip/demux phase hits 100%. I get this error whether I set ffdshow to wm9 or libavcodec. If I set it to libavcodec the setting will have undone itself (it will be set to disabled) after I have finished trying to demux the movie and have received this error.

I've tried using ffdshow 2633 and 2672 with the same results, my haali is updated along with avisynth. This error does not happen when I use 1.11.5. This is within a Server08 x32 windows installation on a phenom 9600 based computer. I set the use x264x64 setting to 0 in the config.

edit: I'm encoding fine right now using 1.11.5 so it's defintely some how related to the newer ripbot interface... or the programs that comes prepacked with it.

[Discoboy]

Hi Atak_Snajpera,

Just tested 1.13.2 in x64 X264 mode and still have the same prob on the Panny BD35 standalone but NO probs with PowerDVD i.e when playing a AVCHD DVD9 it hangs, then returns to the beginning of the disc went the skip forward chapter function is used.

But some good news the under file size issue is now fixed at just 4MB short on a DVD9 with DTS soundtrack.

I will test 1.13.2 in x32 mode at the weekend

v1.12.0 is still working

[nwg]

Now the TrueHD problem with TsMuxer has been sorted with a new version. It would be great to be able to keep all HD audio formats for creating 25GB Blu Rays.

for god sake. What is wrong with this player?!?!?!?!?!? 32bit works but 64bit does not??? Technically both use almost the same command line with small exeption. --fps xx.xxx and --frames xxxxx. I loose my patience. I will disable in .ini default support for x264_x64 in next version. Unless somebody will solve this mystery!

New problem that I have had since getting over my first problem (last page)... this one happens in versions 1.13.0, .1 and .2:
SAMPLE PLEASE!!!

[drealit]

^^^
I can't make a sample with the newer version... it fails right after the demux phase when it tries to load up the newly created mkv file. I don't even get to the encoding phase.

For some reason it isn't working with ffdshow to decode the mkv file that the demux process created, if I try to manually bring in the mkv file after the first phase of Ripbot (the demuxing) it will pop up the no decoder error.I can't find any new logs or anything that can further explain this problem... only that the newer versions of Ripbot won't work with FFDshow (2633 or the latest) on my computer. 1.11.5 works reasonably well however...

[Quatre]

I use those numbers depending on the quality of the mkv. If it's a 720p re-encode, I will change it to 4480 mb size. It will give a 4.37gb result. You can type any size in the box if you want, it's up to you. I just prefer to keep my 1080p encodes at 7.95gb if possible. The quality and size is just right for me, the look as good as the original BD in my opinion.

I leave it at 3 reframes to be safe. see below:
profile L4.1

Max macroblocks per second = 245760

Max frame size (macroblocks) = 8192

Max ref.frames 1920x1080 = 4

Max ref.frames 1920x816 = 5

Max ref.frames 1280x720 = 9

Max ref.frames 1280x544 =10


I have a quad core @ 3.6ghz with 4gb of ram. They usually take a little over 4 hours to do a 1080p 2pass re-encode. I found that setting it to "low priority" makes little difference in the time it takes, so I leave it on low priority so I can use the computer for other things while encoding. All 4 cores still are just about maxxed out while encoding.

I have both the 3D and 2D 1080p versions of Journey to the Center of the Earth that you're speaking of. The exact same release group I'm sure (HD1080 & BDiSC). And, I also bought the correct glasses - they need to be a special color, not the usual 3d glasses. This movie is amazing in 3D. My kid won't keep her glasses on, so I often watch the 2D version with her.

Kenrippy, once again thanks for all your help, input and explanation of the settings and why you chose them.
i have q6600 so only 2.4ghz (not oc'd though maybe i should) and also 4gb I believe though it reports as 3.25gb. during the 3rd try of reencoding it with your settings, my pc crashed though with only a couple hours left or less so I lost the file. At that point though I realized the original 3d 1080p x264 did in fact work (bdisc). I just really didnt' expect that because remuxed to .ts in tsMuxeR, it didn't, which if anything is usually the opposite (where the mkv doesnt' work but .ts almost always does 99.9% of the time)

as far as
"Max ref.frames 1920x1080 = 4
Max ref.frames 1920x816 = 5 "

it looks like that was the problem cus it was 1920x1080 and 5 ref frames when should have been 4. luckily the pch still played it probably due to fixes in the last few fw updates. the pch can sometimes even play stuff that is higher then L4.1 (which is kind of supposed to be scene standard) but if the file is way off it wont play. I'd still like to know why the .ts didn't play but I think ill stick to only remuxing files with dts to .ts cus the pch still sometimes has some dts studder issues with some files. but it looks the pch can play 1920x1080 mkv even with the incorrect 5 ref frames so as long as it doesn't have dts i prob dont need to be remuxing everything to .ts

As for the movie, yes I finally got to watch it with my wife and make use of the 3d glasses I bought. the movie was fake and cheesy but the 3d was fun. I have a daughter also but is too young to watch it but i like your idea of having the non 3d version as well for when she wont keep the glasses on.

thanks again and ill save your settings recommendations for future use.

Has anyone tried Trimming the Inglorious Basterds trailer and succeeded?

Trim(121,0) so the first 5 secs get cut out. It just doesn't work :(

[turbojet]

Atak: Did you happen to see my feature request for qpfiles?
Would make some chapter seeking a lot more like the original, especially with these long gops
But I think you'd want to use --min-key-int 1 with them just to be sure the exact frame is jumped to when seeking chapter

[Atak_Snajpera]

I can't make a sample with the newer version... it fails right after the demux phase when it tries to load up the newly created mkv file. I don't even get to the encoding phase.
show me 'video - log.txt'

Trim(121,0) so the first 5 secs get cut out. It just doesn't work
try to remux .mov to .mkv or .mp4

[Nemesis7]

Mate I gave up. I ended up cutting the first 5 secs in quictime, then used RipBot. Thanks for the effort though, try doing it yourself, you'll see it's pretty weird :)

@nwg

I've just checked the site again - and the highest version I can access there is v.1.8.8(b).zip (If you click on "download, it brings up the older v.1.8.4(b).zip).

Please be good enough to provide the DIRECT link to v.1.8.18(b).zip.

Added: Support for 3 channel audio

I would try it again!

[mpiper]

Here's a question, with a bit of nostalgia thrown in.

I recently bought a PS3, so I'm converting my HD-DVDs to BD-9s. I am having a very wierd situation with Superman Returns.

I load the main movie in Ripbot (1.13.2) and after it indexes and such, it shows a 480i video, 7 chapters, and only a bit over an hour long. I checked the main movie, and it is 1080p, 2 hours and 39 minutes long with around 41 chapters.

I rebooted, loaded again, same result. I went ahead and ran it, and ended up with the "making of" featurette.

If I manually load the video in eac3to, using eac3toGUI, it shows the same thing. If I use yraen's eac3to_and_more_gui (after I turn off my antivirus), it lists the correct video properties.

Any ideas what's up with this??

[nwg]

If it is 480i and mixed with the movie then it is probably PIP video. I use Clown_BD (along with TsMuxer and eac3to) to create a movie only BD then put the results through Ripbot. You should be able to use the right video and audio that way.

At least version 0.25b is needed for HD DVD or you will not get any video.

2ch AC3 surround? how can 2ch audio be surround?

http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/7860/61166345fb1.jpg

[Discoboy]

for god sake. What is wrong with this player?!?!?!?!?!? 32bit works but 64bit does not??? Technically both use almost the same command line with small exeption. --fps xx.xxx and --frames xxxxx. I loose my patience. I will disable in .ini default support for x264_x64 in next version. Unless somebody will solve this mystery!


SAMPLE PLEASE!!!

Hello Atak,

Please do not lose your patience with this issue!

I have now tested on both a Panny BD30 and BD35 running the latest firmware’s and both have the chapter skip/pause lockup issue on RipBot 1.13.0 and newer versions. These standalone players are the 2008 and 2009 multi award winning and popular selling BluRay standalone players in the UK and so a very good benchmark to get compatibility of RipBot working on..

Also please do not lose your patience to drop x264 64bit and not get it working as this can help to reduced encoding times from 25-60mins depending on movie length.

Important new update!
I now cannot repeat the 1 time success of 1.13.1 working in 32bit mode!! So it’s seems the 64bit issue was just a misleading fact and I cannot explain why it now does not work anymore.

I have now have had some time before the weekend to conduct a number of encodes and so make a number test to try and isolate where this issue is coming from. Here are my results findings:

Same movie used for all encoding projects: Bluray – DVD9 +DTS sound track

Software used in all cases:
- MS Vista X64 SP1
- AviSynth 2.5.8
- Ffshow rev 2653
- Haali Media Splitter 1.9.42.1

Results:
1.13.2 - 64bit = Broken
1.13.2 - 32bit = Broken
1.13.1 – 64bit = Broken
1.13.1 – 32bit = Broken
1.13.0 – 64 bit = Broken
1.13.0 – 32bit = Not tested
1.12.0 = Working !!:)


So compatibility stops after 1.12.0.

For the next test to I used 1.12.0 but upgraded the following tools with 1.13.2 versions of the tools:
Eac3to 2.87 --> 3.11
MediaInfo 0.7.8 --> 0.7.11
x264 r1066M --> r1114M

Results:

1.12.0 + Eac3to v3.11 + x264 r1114M + Mediainfo 0.7.11 = WORKING!!! :)

Conclusion:

This just leaves the remaining software different between 1.12.0 and 1.13.2:

RibBot264 v1.12.0 --> v1.13.2 coding
DGAVCDec 1.0.7 --> 1.0.8
DGIndex 1.5.3 --> 1.5.4
MKVToolnix v2.4.0 --> v2.4.2
Oggenc ?.?? --> 2.85
Ssatosrt r? --> r2

Atak: Do these findings now help you to tracking done this issue?

Should I also import the 1.13.2 versions of DGAVCDec, DGIndex, MKVToolnix, Oggenc and Ssatosrt into 1.12.2 and test again to isolate these software’s leaving just the RipBot coding difference that could be causing the compatibility issue with the Panny BD30 and BD35 units?

Please let me know how we can move forward with this issue?

Many thanks in advance for your time and effort put into Ripbot’s making and development... :thanks:

[magmo]

Atak

when I use the latest version of RibBot I get this error after I have added a *.ts file.
"DirectShowSource: I can't determine the frame rate of the video, you must use the 'fps' parameter."

Is this error caused by RibBot or TsMuxer?

[~bT~]

^ it is caused by your decoder. divx7 installed by any chance?

[magmo]

Yes I have, I will uninstall it and give it another try...

[Atak_Snajpera]

Should I also import the 1.13.2 versions of DGAVCDec, DGIndex, MKVToolnix, Oggenc and Ssatosrt into 1.12.2 and test again to isolate these software’s leaving just the RipBot coding difference that could be causing the compatibility issue with the Panny BD30 and BD35 units?

replace new 1.13.2 with old one 1.12.0. Let's what happens.

I just tried the RipBot264 transcode utility that was referenced in the latest print edition of MaximumPC (March 2009), relating to ripping Blu-Ray DVDs. Used in conjunction with AnyDVD-HD, RipBot264 is a GREAT tool to accomplish essentially a one application transcode to either MP4 or MKV (I prefer MKV), and I REALLY appreciate the ability to use RipBot264 with AnyDVD-HD to produce a wonderful ripped result. However, I am having difficulty with the subtitles.

I own a full retail Blu-ray copy of the 1970 Oscar award winning movie "Patton." The original size of the main movie file is over 37GB, so it needs some considerable reduction to be able to be burned on a DVD+ DL disk. However, the transcode to that 8GB size, using the latest version of RipBot264, produces an outstanding and visually brilliant movie. But, no matter what tweaks I've tried, I can't get the English subtitles to appear in the ripped version.

During numerous scenes in that movie, German military officers and other have extended dialog spoken in German, which appears as English subtitles in the original retail copy that I have. However, the ripped version does not have any subtitles, and that seriously detracts from the movie. Can someone please help me with getting the English subtitles to appear in the ripped version. Many thanks for any assistance that can be offered. Best regards. TheBeagle

with version 1.12.0 you need to locate the sup file you need and then ocr the file to a srt text file. This can be done with suprip. If you have more than one English sub, ocr each one until you find the one you want. You then add the srt file in the add subtitle above the ripbot output directory.

With 1.13.+ if it works. It will read the sup file directly. Use the same add subtitle and select the sup file.

What you can also do it burn the srt directly into the image so the translation comes up automatically. However, it will be part of the image all the time. If you don't want to do that then just use the subtitle button the remote to display the right subtitle.

Hi Atak,
Only just seen your latest post, but since RipBot was set to auto shutdown the temp folder data is lost this time.

Anyway here are my latest test results:

I used 1.12.0 but upgraded the following tools with 1.13.2 versions of the tools:

Eac3to 2.87--> 3.11
MediaInfo 0.7.8 --> 0.7.11
x264 r1066M --> r1114M
DGAVCDec 1.0.7 --> 1.0.8
DGIndex 1.5.3 --> 1.5.4

Results:

1.12.0 + Eac3to v3.11 + x264 r1114M + Mediainfo 0.7.11 + DGAVCDec 1.0.8 + DGIndex 1.5.4= WORKING!! :)

As requested I will now run 2 tests and upload all the data files you have requested:

Test 1:

Will by 1.13.2 in 32bit mode (ini = 0) but with the complete “Tools” folders exchanged with the tools folders from 1.12.0

Test 2:

Will be totally standard 1.12.0

Atak,

Well-done you’ve located the prob :)

I’ve aborted the encoding of 1.13.2 with tools folder from 1.12.0 and just checked the Encoder Proprieties screen.

You can see from this screen dump attached:

http://www.mediafire.com/?jzdmynwimd1

That the check box is checked and “--aud and --nal-hrd” is present in the lower window, but does not show in the:

job1_EncodeVideoPass1.cmd

or

job1_EncodeVideoPass2.cmd

Files

Can you explain why this is??

I will now check standard 1.12.0

[Discoboy]

Atak,

Yes!!!

With v1.12.0 both “job1_EncodeVideoPass1.cmd” and “job1_EncodeVideoPass1.cmd” files have “--aud and --nal-hrd” present.

Requested files attached to show that “--aud and --nal-hrd” is present

I ran 1.13.2 in 64bit mode! but manually added the “--aud” and “--nal-hrd” attributes to both the “job1_EncodeVideoPass1.cmd” and “job1_EncodeVideoPass1.cmd” files before starting the encoding.

Results = Working !! :) Chapter skip and pause functions now working

Also file size is good at 3MB short in 64bit mode.

Are you any closer to working out why these attributes are not be added but are selected in the GUI?

Many thanks,
Discoboy :thanks:

[dokworm]

Probably a dumb question, but will all of this work under Vista64?

thanks
sorry for my english

[8ternity]

@8ternity
Tell me what you do step by step

-Add
-Select the MKV source
-Save As selection to bluray
-go to properties
-set to 23.976
-go to Noise selection FILM
-click Preview

I've not set the audio before the video stream. I check the preview and was not possible so i not start the project.

Thanks.

PS. i have try and convert with version 1.13.1 yesturday and everything was fine, included the audio sync with the 23.976fps changed when selected to reconvert the audio. :)

[spikywits]

how do I change the title of the encoded video? (in dsmux)
I want to put some meaningful description but there is no option to configure it before the encoding process

After removing divx7, ripbot worked fine. By the way do you know any type of application that can check/verify that the created mkv file is ok? The reason I ask is that all mkv files I create using your application can be played on the pc but not on my Tvix 6500

BUT encoding engine (x264) is optimized for multicores !!! More cores always means faster encoding (2X , 4X)


Instead of AMD 9550 2,2Ghz I would buy Q6600 2,4 Ghz . It can be overclocked very easly to at least 3Ghz. I have Q6600@3ghz and it's rock stable! All you need is to change fsb to 333. You don't have to raise cpu voltage and you don't have to buy extra cooling system! I doubt that you will achieve the same result on amd cpu.
How fast is your machine on encoding blurays to 1080p mkvs?
I just make a 2pass file. First pass encoded with 17fps, second pass is now at 6.6...I guess, something is wrong here.
I have the same problems using automkv. I can't imagine, using a quad takes almost as long as doing the job an a dual core machine. can you please post pictures of YOUR settings for a good quality mkv 1080p autocrop file @ 2 pass.
If my current job is done, it will have taken 12hours.

Asus P5B Deluxe

Would it be possible to make an add folder option where one where able to import an entire folder instead of just one file at a time

It probably would be but KBE already does this. www.kamiwa.de

[diggityDawg]

Forgive my ignorance, but I can't even get it to start. No matter what I do it always says I don't have Haali installed. I've downloaded and installed the 2009-11-01 version one one machine several times. I rebooted, reinstalled, but no matter what I do it always says I don't have it installed. So I tried running it on another machine and I get the SAME THING. Really frustrating! I really don't know what else to do, but I definitely DO have the correct version of Haali installed, so what can I do to avoid the startup check?

Thx - dd

whell it think i already tried that program at i coudnt use it there are missing some settings i want to use like "set file limit" and second its using divx 7 and i dont use divx ever not since it went pay to use crap.

right now im using MediaCoder but it has way to many bugs to be at stable encoder.
it will encode 16-18 files and then the program comes op with a message that the encoder has stoped working and says that it might be becorse there are some other program using the cpu but there isnt running any other programs, when that message apears i need to restart my system becorse it fucks every thing op.
Ripbot264 works flawlesh with 30 or more files but it takes a long time to import 30 files 1 at a time it woud be So mutch easy'er with an add folder option.

hope you understand what i am writing english is my second languish.

I don't know if its going to be added because of the work involved.

When taking an idea like this in you have to consider the amount of time it will take for each file to be indexed and the source being used.

It might be doable but the way its setup now allows for a more direct editing of the out put...

Some files will be interlaced and others will be progressive.

Some will need cropping and some wont.

The List goes on. Like I said I don't think that it in on the road map.:rolleyes:

I'm getting a massive oversize when I encode to bluray structure with DIRECT STREAM COPY for audio.

Target was 4480MB....(BD5)

Output was about 5.16GB (as specified in properties of folder) actually a lot higher in decimal mb as I think Ripbot uses!

[dazone]

Im new to the blue ray burning ..anydvd and Ripbot V1.10.6 is working great to shrink/re encode audio to fit on a 25gb bd-r.

I spent a week trying other programs such as bd rebuilder..
ripbot is the way to go.. just takes along time with movies that are 2hours + long.. but well worth it..

I have never had a oversize in over 20 encodes. I do use a custom size of 4450. I did my first BD 25 encode and decided to to it a bit less than the default 23850 and ended up at 21.6GB (22118MB).

How do you change resize presets?

[Ajax_Undone]

How do you change resize presets?

I don't think you can. I believe they are determined by the input before and after crop.

[Knocks]

I would like to add a custom 364x272 PSP preset. I understand that 480x272 in 4:3 mode produces a similar result, but hard-coding the black bars adds to the file size. A clean 4:3 resolution would be better because PSP adds its own black bars without increasing your file size.

i have found this error with my rip


The source file seems to be damaged (sync byte missing) ?

what does that error mean?
thanks you for yours help
the audio track is shifted

[diggityDawg]

have you tried the most recent version of RipBot. I know it had some issues in the 1.13.0 version of it...:rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure I downloaded the most recent version, but I'll check to be sure. I was able to get it to run by editing the .ini file and disabling the startup check, but when I start to process files it immediately says "Done" and nothing is written. Probably because it can't figure out where Haali is? I'll make sure I'm on the most recent build and try again.

Thanks!

[primerump]

Use the latest build. v1.13.2...:)

lol.. well i tried that too and received the same error.. after much googling i found the answer.. bepipe is dependent on .NET
so i loaded .NET2 and all is working now..

thanks.

No prob. I usually disable software check just cause the potential for a bug seems a little to high.

[diggityDawg]

have you tried the most recent version of RipBot. I know it had some issues in the 1.13.0 version of it...:rolleyes:

So I checked and I using the current version. So it's back to the drawing board. I can get the program to run if I disable the startup check, but when I try to convert the video it doesn't. The last line in the log says:

"Error: The source file 'C:\temp\RipBot264temp\video.264' could not be opened successfully, or retrieving its size by seeking to the end did not work."

That file definitely does NOT exist, but I have no idea why. There is a directory for each job under the "C\temp\RipBot264temp\" directory... Any idea what I'm missing here?

Thx!

hmm try copy and past the log so Atak can get a look at it.

Could there be an option to delete temp directory when the program is closed?

[Atak_Snajpera]

You have just 3 options. Shut down ... , Low Priority and Keep jobs queue. Now try to guess which one you should uncheck.

[turbojet]

You have just 3 options. Shut down ... , Low Priority and Keep jobs queue. Now try to guess which one you should uncheck.

Keep jobs queue unchecked is for deleting temp directory?
If so it doesn't seem to work with StoreTempFilesin=AUTO

Also StoreTempFilesin=AUTO creates a blank temp dir in C:\ and a Temp dir in the largest partition, E:\ in my case.

Edit: I figured out what C:\temp is from as the default output dir was left blank and that's the default. I figured if I left it blank it wouldn't make that dir and use the source input directory like it always does by default for me. But I guess when input is from an image or BD it can't use input as output. Well hmm maybe you mean keep jobs queue unchecked deletes everything inside the Temp dir, it does indeed do that, but could it delete the Temp dir too? Same with default output dir.

[Atak_Snajpera]

it does indeed do that, but could it delete the Temp dir too? Same with default output dir.
Windows Vista and Windows 7 (I have no XP) does not allow me to delete anything located in C:\ !

[turbojet]

That's odd I can delete just fine in vista, in windows 7 I could as well but not the PerfLogs directory, are you using UAC?

Also I notice that no matter what I set for default output directory, C:\temp is created.

Sorry to be nitpicky I just like to keep my hard drives some what organized and empty temp dirs don't really help that cause.

[Atak_Snajpera]

That's odd I can delete just fine in vista, in windows 7 I could as well but not the PerfLogs directory, are you using UAC?
Most people have UAC on. Moreover in Windows 7 if you disable UAC then sidebar disappears. So I'm trying to get used to it (i like sidebar:).

One more question: I only have 720p TVs, so I need to convert everything to 720p. I thought, from reading the forum posts that you just need to set the MODE to 2-Pass, and then set the Lock Size to 4.5GB (or close). I did that, but it looks like the video is still 1080p. Is there a tool that will tell me what the video is? And should I be doing something differently to convert the video to the lower res?

Thanks again for the help!

Quick question - using the latest version of RipBot - I convered an 8GB HD-DVD file into a 4GB MKV file. While the results look good - playback seems a bit strange. I use VLC Player and the resulting MKV files seems to play back "fast" and seems to "stutter a little"

Also if I skip ahead in the video - I am at the end of the video while the slider bar in VLC is only just past the 1/2 way mark.

Is my MKV file ok and VLC that is acting up? Or is there a problem in Ripbot?

Confused... Any help would be great appreciated.

Can anyone give me a quick run through on how to insert subtitles I am trying to do Pans Labyrinth. Ripbot has created a .sup file in the job folder but on the encode settings screen when you click the icon next to subtitles nothing comes up. If I go to the properties page and select build in picture it browsers for a subtitles file but none of the ones it wants is .sup so how do I convert the .sup into a file type that ripbot will accept.
Thanks in advance

same file.. also, now that the delay option is in properties, it's awkward getting the delay correct in one go..
hopefully my last niggle for today, instead of 50ms can the option be 20ms or the old 10ms pls? maybe an .ini setting could be applied?

:thanks:

I was just about to post something about the ff/rwd as the picture freezes or stutters on my player. Is this working ok in 1.12.0? I am currently using that version to do a Blu Ray and rather not have to start again.

Also, with 1.12.0 I used off to make the audio kept in sync. As that option seems to be missing, will it still be in sync. I usually use copy stream for the audio.

I'm at my wits end here, hopefully someone can help.

After the demuxing process is complete MPC opens up while trying to run 'getinfo.avs' and I get the error:

Directshowsource: couldn't open file W:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\video.mkv:
Ran out of memory
(W:Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)

The file is an .m2ts blu-ray rip. The same error ocurrs no matter what file I try, even previously encoded files. A couple times in the past I got a different error at this point, but re-installing avisynth always fixed it.
I've been using Ripbot without problems for a long time now, nothing changed on my system that I know of.

I've tried re-installing Halli, avisynth and ffdshow (x64) several times now. Tried starting a job with and without audio. Tested my RAM. Spent hours searching the forum and Google and I really don't want to wipe the OS and start over lol.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Now that TSMuxer handles True-HD correctly, is there any chance for a HD-Audio option on the horizon?
I don't think so.
Reasons:
1) mkvmerge and Haali media splitter do not support truehd yet
2) eac3to can not fix audio gaps in trueHD stream (a/v sync problems)
3) lack of avisynth plugins
3) calculation formula for blu-ray structure will not work due to variable bitrate in True-HD stream

if that is the case, shouldn't it be displayed?
No. You see actual informations. A/V same length function will be activated after you click OK button (proper Trim values are added under #AVSameLength in script)

, now that the delay option is in properties, it's awkward getting the delay correct in one go..
hopefully my last niggle for today, instead of 50ms can the option be 20ms or the old 10ms pls? maybe an .ini setting could be applied?

It's easier for me to have audio delay section next to preview button because I can quickly check if delay in preview is correct! In older version I had to go back to main windows each time. Besides I got free space for Language combobox without ruin basic design. In terms of GUI's design I'm very strict. We have saying in Poland that 'Everything must have arms and legs'.
Regarding audio delay. 50ms step is optimal for me. Maximum error is only 25ms. There is no way you can detect that kind of delay!
Simple example:
Let's say you have video @ 25fps
1000ms / 25fps = 40ms
Every frame is displayed in 40ms intervals. So maximum error (25ms) is smaller that duration of single frame!

Can anyone give me a quick run through on how to insert subtitles I am trying to do Pans Labyrinth. Ripbot has created a .sup file in the job folder but on the encode settings screen when you click the icon next to subtitles nothing comes up. If I go to the properties page and select build in picture it browsers for a subtitles file but none of the ones it wants is .sup so how do I convert the .sup into a file type that ripbot will accept.
Thanks in advance
Mel

For build in picture, the sup needs to be ocr'd with suprip to a srt file. If you select blu ray as the outcome you can add a sup file in the subtitle screen (above the location of the end results on the right side of the software). You will have to select the subs manually each time though.

[wakebrder]

It can never be that easy.:)

BTW, 1.13.3 processed VickyChristinaBarcelona with 3 channel PCM track perfectly.

Did you implement the 3 channel audio capability for that disc, or are there others that I'm not aware of ?

Thanks again as always!!:thanks:

Thank you Atak for a wonderful program. I've been using it with great success for some time now. I have one question: I use 64 bit Vista with 4 gigs of RAM with an Intel Quad Core processor. I understand that Ripbot will now run in 64 bit mode but when I view my processes I find that it is still running as a 32 bit application. How can I enable 64 bit encoding or did I misunderstand the new 64 bit capabilities? I'm using version 1.13.3.
Thank you,

I have tried this myself for Pans labyrinth and the SUP file preview was pure garbage, I took a leap of faith and burned the bluray DVD that was outputted, I even made sure that the subtitle language was selected as spanish but still my Sony BDP-S550 would not show the subtitles, this was a few revisions back though.

[awake33]

You installed ffdshow (x64) or MT?

It is ffdshow x64, although in the codec settings it does say ffdshow-mt. I can't see any other versions of x64 ffdshow at Soundforge.

But this was working fine before.

So I tried installing the latest sse version of ffdshow and left x64 version installed. It doesn't give the error now. So something is definitely wrong with x64 codec install.

I would think Ripbot would still try using the x64 version since it should detect the codec as being installed.

[8ternity]

@Atak_Snajpera:

Just for Feedback, version 1.13.3 is now ok, samething for preview before the conversion.

Thanks for your time.

@RCF

You do not need a X64 version of FFshow just the clsid versions. I’m using rev_2653_20090203_clsid at the moment.

Check in the RipBot264 “ini” file that Use x264x64=1 is set

When the encoding is actually started go via “Ctrl” + “Alt” + “Delete” then to “Task Manager” then to “Processes” You should then see X264_X64.exe file running >50%. This then confirms you are running the X264 X64bit version.

For me during testing with a Q6600 @ 3.4Ghz + 4Gb ram average encoding time for 2 pass reduced from around 5.5 hours down to 5 hours

[Discoboy]

@Atak_Snajpera

Just to confirm your changelog, ver 1.13.3 is working great with now no chapter skip or pause button issues on my player/s and in X64 mode.

Many thanks for your great work with this great application:thanks:

[Ajax_Undone]

It is an interesting note that just might be my system... (currently testing on another system BTW) I ran a couple entire main video vob's through ripbot and when the 1st pass cmd file was run on the video. x264_x64.exe ran 2 frames in then killed leaving me with a 3kb video.264 file in the temp dir.

When I run the cmd scripts outside the gui they execute just fine, but when the gui runs them at the end all I get is a 2/3kb video clip muxed in with a full audio file...

Like I said it might be nothing but my system. Here are the relevant specs.. AMD Phenom 9500 x4 4GBram Windows 7 Ultimate x64 preRC1...

Just figured I would give you all a heads up cause I just got done Converting about 50 DVD's to mp4 for my pod. And every one was just audio... No error was thrown so the logs are irrelevant...

Are there plans to have RipBot adjust the framerate of subtitles in the future? If I want to convert a 25 fps file to 23.976 fps, I'll demux using TSMuxeR, eac3to convert the Dolby Digital or DTS audio, use RipBot to convert the video but I've come across some problems getting my .sup, .srt or .subs to the correct framerate using Subtitle Workshop, Subtitle Creator, etc...

I tried bringing this up before, but you insisted you were correct, when you are NOT. You DO NOT HAVE THE CORRECT PROFILE FOR APPLE TV!
I dont know how many times I have to say it,, but I can guarantee you that unless you go into properties and resize it to 1280x720, ITS NEVER GOING TO PLAY ON APPLE TV.

It will play fine in Itunes, but if you try to sync it to your apple tv it will tell you that the format is incorrect and will not sync to the apple tv.

I dont mean to sound like a ass, and I was very nice last time I brought this up, but what good is it to offer a Apple TV profile when it wont work without resizing the video?

You have a great piece of software, but stop for a minute and actually listen to someone that HAS a apple tv.

Umm..I thought it was using h264 to encode? Do you have to set that option then? I thought the whole idea behind ripbot 264 was that it encoded everything using h.264. Is that not correct?

I guess I dont get what your saying. I thought the whole idea behind a preset was so you DIDNT have to resize anything, it resized it for you for the device in the profile, eg, psp, ipod, iphone, apple tv, etc ,etc

[~bT~]

Umm..I didnt say anything about Ipod. Im talking about the Apple TV profile. Apple tv is 1280x720 (for the highest resolution.)

Right from apples site:

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

Video formats supported

* H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

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

So, you can import any movie you want into itunes (within reason) but that doesnt mean it will play on apple tv when you try to sync it or play it on the apple tv. If it exceeds either spec listed above by apple, it will give you a error message when trying to sync it on the apple tv.

Therefore, if you pick the apple tv profile, it should default to 1280x720. If for some reason someone is really concerned about disk space, they can change the resolution to 960x540, but ripbot should be defaulting to at least ONE of these profiles instead of a non apple tv supported profile.

[Atak_Snajpera]

x264 , Atheme , Elecard AVC encoder , MainConcept are implementations of h.264 standard. (XviD and Divx are implementations of MPEG-4 ASP standard)
Video profiles and audio profiles WILL NEVER BE connected with video size. It's up to you to select correct size. I don't care if stupid appleTV accepts only two resolutions (720p24fps and 540p30fps) How come PS3 can play everything in High Profile up to 1080p@29.97fps??? Why did you buy this crap? There are better solutions and probably cheaper!

[illestdomer2005]

Atak,

I may be dumb not knowing how to do this, but is there any way to tell RipBot encode something other than the main movie file on a BD? For example, I am trying to convert individual episodes of Pushing Daisies. When I click on a stream, RipBot looks for the mpls files that correspond to all three episodes; so, rather than getting my single 40 minute episode, I get a 2 hour single file of all three episodes back-to-back-to-back. Obviously for movies, that is great since some studios split their main features into multiple m2ts files. Here, though, it's irritating because I want to break these up. Any suggestions/solutions? Thanks.

I have to admit, I am anti-Apple too lol In fact, I am anti iPod AND Zune. I still have my iRiver H320 from around 2004. I detest all of these MP3 players that force proprietary software on you, and I am not convinced that Rockbox is the solution. Just a couple of weeks ago I did surgery on my little iRiver to bring it back to life because I knew I couldn't bring myself to buy an iPod ;)

You could pre-process the files to a new BD structure. Then put the new files through Ripbot. It make a extra step but look at clown_BD. It will show all the playlists and you should be able to select individual episodes. It will then automatically use eac3to/tsmuxer to create a new BD structure for you. Put this in ripbot.

I can not get version 1.13 to work. v1.12, after juggling various versions of required apps, finally worked. However, v 1.13 says I'm missing both FFDshow and Haali Media Splitter, even though v 1.12 accepts my configuration.

I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling various versions of FFDshow, both x86 and x64 (preferably), and v 1.12 works fine but not v 1.13. Any suggestions?

And if you dont like the apple tv, take out the profile. But dont put a profile in there that doesent have a useable resolution for apple tv. thats like making the default psp profile 5000x3000. Doesent make much sense if the PSP cant play it does it?

Wrong again. You obviously don't understand or haven't paid any attention.

There is no resizing done by the profiles, they just set compatible x264 encoder settings, that is all! You have to resize separately for every profile. It just happens that other devices may have better support than the AppleTV. e.g. If I just encode my blu-ray source and don't resize, of course it won't work on the ipod! ....and guess who makes the Ipod ... :)

BTW, for all the bitching Ive done the last few posts, wanted to say thanks for making my life alot easier with the blu ray support in Ripbot. My old way to convert hd-dvd to blu-ray was to use eac3to and TsMuxer, with sometimes not so good results. Ive had good luck so far with Ripbot and AnyDvd.

Well that's Apple for you a box of stupid overpriced under achieving hardware.

Sad' Buy a Popcorn Hour.

Apple TV was/is mainly used for stuff purchased off of iTunes. Kind of a selfish buy it our way type of sales man attitude. Now you know why people hate Mac.

I suppose you could tweak the cmd line to pass through the audio with that particular bitrate @ 5.1.. Don't know if this will work though... You would have to do the whole process manually with only Ripbot to set up the initial cmd's and avs scripts. All other editing/tweaking and processing would have to be done separate from ripbot.
:rolleyes: A load of work to make you feel that your purchase was worth it...:p

**EDIT**

From what I see on the Apple site Apple TV can't play 5.1 AAC files.

Wow that's something I didn't know.

[nurbs]

Well, for movies it only allows up to 160 kbps (LC-AAC) which isn't enough for good quality 5.1 and apple doesn't support HE. Looks like they use AC3 in their downloads, so that could be worth a try.

I think apple designs some nice hardware, but for digital media players unless you plan to buy the majority of your movies frome Itunes there a lots of better and often cheaper choices then the apple tv. I bought a Western Digital "WD TV" (85€) and a 1TB external harddrive (100€) which gives me way more storage capacity (>6 times more) and supported codecs then the 160GB apple tv has for a cheaper price (less then half). I have to admit it wouldn't solve your problem because it downmixes 5.1 AAC to stereo, but at least it would play the file.
edit: Popcornhour would also be a good choice if you want to spend a bit more. It does 5.1 AAC AFAIK.

[81RED]

Same problem here on two different PC's. Only happens with files containing PCM stereo audio. Demuxing the audio works fine, a .wav gets created in the TEMP folder, then craps out immediately after that. Anyone like to take a guess as to what is happening?

Uploaded a small (7.7MB) sample (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=URIY2NML) to properly illustrate the problem.

[topsham]

I recently sold my PS3 and replaced it with an Apple TV and am very pleased with it. I am now using Ripbot to convert my HD DVDs (1280 x 720 6144 kbps, 5.1 AAC) and Handbrake to convert my Blu-rays as that allows me to keep 5.1 DD audio. Films are streamed from my main pc in another room and my iTunes music is on the ATV hdd.

Are you going to add the ability to batch load multiple files? It would be useful for TV show seasons. Same output settings, load all episodes at once and leave.

[Blackwalker]

hi Atak and thx again for your nice and hard work.
i'm still using your old ripbot version and it sill work ok.
I'd like to try the last versione, 1.13.3.
what i miss is the "r2633+" ffdshow version.
i check the ffdshow site http://www.ffdshow.info
or http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173941
but i didnt find any link to download the "r2633+" version!!

someone is so kind to point me to the right link or upload on rapidshare or megaupload
or another site?

thx! :)

Hi,

Last night I ripped Righteous Kill using anyDVD HD. Full DVD backup came out at 16.5gb. I then remuxed the movie only using tsMuxer, downsampling the HD DTS to standard DTS. This came out at 13.5gb.

Then I fed this into RipBot264, made sure profile 4.0 was selected, then selected CQ=18. Audio was set to 'Copy Stream' and output set to MKV. I selected Automatic for cropping and checked via preview. All other options were left as default.

14.5 hours later I have a MKV file that has come out at 14.5gb, 1gb bigger than the original!

Does anyone have any ideas how this might have happened?

[nurbs]

a) With CQ encoding you can't predict how big the movie will come out.
b) For a 1080p encode cq 18 is overkill.
c) If you don't care about the filesize you should use crf, not cq.

"a) With CQ encoding you can't predict how big the movie will come out.
b) For a 1080p encode cq 18 is overkill.
c) If you don't care about the filesize you should use crf, not cq."

Sorry, I understand points a and b. Point a is a fact, point b is your opinion. But for point c surely CQ = constant quality, and CRF = 18? I.e I've specified I want a contstant quality by selecting CQ, and I've selected the 'quality' of the encode by selecting CRF 18. So not sure what you mean?

And while I understand that you can't predict how big the file will come out with CQ, I was looking for help as to why it has come out bigger than the input file.

[nurbs]

To point c) I thought CQ stood for Constant Quantizer, my mistake.

The input file are the uncompressed pictures you feed to the encoder, much bigger then the 14.5 gigs you got from the encode. The filesize of the compressed source video isn't important, the complexity of the material is.

[iSeries]

Sorry mate, I still dont understand - the input file as per my first post was 13.5gb. The input file was a movie only remux with DTS sound using tsMuxer, from the original full disc rip.

And while I understand that output file size is directly linked to the complexity of the input file when using CQ, I still don't understand why the output file is bigger than the input file.

[prettyboy85712]

Post your log file.

[Atak_Snajpera]

@iSeries
For god sake! Use default 22 value instead of 18. Who told you to change this value?
Nurbs is right! 18 is too MUCH!!!!

[iSeries]

@ Atak_Snajpera - please explain why 18 is even an option if it is overkill. In fact why offer anything below 22 at all?

And it still fails to answer why the output file is bigger than the input file!

[Atak_Snajpera]

@ Atak_Snajpera - please explain why 18 is even an option if it is overkill. In fact why offer anything below 22 at all?
Because some people like even smaller file sizes and may not care about quality that much!

And it still fails to answer why the output file is bigger than the input file!
Simply CQ18 uses more bits (Mbps) than original encoder used for that movie! Why you don't understand that???

I did that movie too.. bluray rip from anydvd, direct into ripbot with 2 pass 6144 and 5.1 acc .. auto crop and resize to 1280*720. my file size is just under 5 GB and its as sharp as the original..
you have something wrong dude..

[iSeries]

@ primerump, I can understand why yours is only 5gb, you've lowered the resolution quite a bit, reduced audio to ac3 and it also looks like you fixed the output file size?

@ Atak_Snajpera, I would have understood that, had someone explained that in the first place. Which is why I was asking, so I could understand that. You need to chill out my friend, if I wanted to be told off I'd ring the wife.

[nurbs]

@ Atak_Snajpera - please explain why 18 is even an option if it is overkill. In fact why offer anything below 22 at all?

If you encode low resolutions like 640*360 you may want to use lower values, especially if you are going to upscale the video on playback. Generally the higher the quality of the source material and the higher the resolution you encode to the higher the CQ value can be while still maintaining good quality. For most people CQ 22 at 1280x720 is very good quality, so at 1920x1080 there is even less of a chance that problems will be noticable.


And it still fails to answer why the output file is bigger than the input file!

Your output file isn't bigger than your input file. The input to the encoder are a series of uncompressed images decoded from your original file. The input size in bits is [width * hight * bits per pixel * frames per second * duration of the video]. For a typical 2 hour movie (1080p) the input is about 500GB of uncompressed images.

[h00z]

I just grabbed the newest version of RipBot and ffdshow, but I'm still having a strange issue.

I have some fansubbed HD anime .mkv files that I have been reencoding for streaming to various devices in my house. Most of the files convert just fine, but I've run into a couple where the audio doesn't come through.

If I double-click the original .mkv file and open it in Media Player, everything is peachy. Audio and video both work just fine.

If I open the exact same .mkv file in RipBot, everything seems okay (audio and video tracks both demuxed, listed and selectable), but I get no audio in the preview, and output files have no audio either.

I'm really scratching my head on this one...

[Atak_Snajpera]

send me sample and i will investigate . 50 mb should be ok. Use www.mediafire.com

Hi

I just installed ripbot on a quad core along with ffdshowMT

1.I am going from blu-ray to ipod resolution and am getting 65 fps, is this low ( i thought before it was over 100)

2.when i open task manager avs2yuv.exe is using 65% and x264_x64.exe is only using 25%. is this normal

3.one final question, i tried doing saw 3 blu-ray which is mpeg2 and it doesn't show ffdshow by the clock and the video is all screwed up when finished,i checked libavcodec is selected in ffdshow config under mpeg2

thanks

I use 20 because 18 is overkill as you said but 20 is just about right for anime & shows :)

[enigma69]

I've used this program to convert many .mkv files into AVCHD discs that play on my PS3, what I wondering is if the blu-ray option could be expanded, say a value in the fixed size dropdown of about 23gb ( I know I can type this in manually, so that isn't very important) but what I'm more interested in is if support for LPCM audio could be added, so it didn't downconvert it to AC3?

I've authored a few blu-rays myself, but the process is much much more complex than the very easy process this program has given me to make AVCHD discs.

In any event great work, I love the program.

[nwg]

I only do HD DVD or Blu Ray to DVD/BD 25. Everytime I have used a version 1.13 or later, I get out of sync audio. I think I remember that cut is used for the audio? When I use 1.12 I have always used off for the audio and has been in sync everytime (20+ now). Am I missing something?

I am going to try to save a encode by muxing the original audio from the disc to try and get in sync.

I still have all the temp files from the last job if any particular file is wanted.

Also, every disc I have done does not ff/rw (even with that jdobs fixclpi). If the disc is not processed by ripbot, and just muxed with TsMuxer then ff/rw is fine (under 23GB already).

GeoffYes, my amp indicates it's receiving DD 5.1. I leave audio track 1 to automatic aac prologic II and audio track 2 shows none in the first column and ac3 in the second. The rest of the line is greyed out.

I think track 1 has to be aac for iTunes to recognise it. My Apple TV is connected to my amp via hdmi and the ac3 track is just passed through to the amp by the ATV.

[nwg]

Update on my syncing dilema. I found the audio on the original had no delay required so why the problem? The audio is about a second in front even with the AC3 track extracted from the original TrueHD.

Is there anyway I can put a manual delay in TsMuxer if I can work out the required amount. The BD is The Dark Knight

It depends on what audio is on the original BD. If it has a 640kb Dolby track I use TSMuxer to remove any other tracks (just leaving the video and 640 DD track) and save an m2ts file which I take into Handbrake.

If it has DTS audio, I use TSMuxer to demux the video and English DTS audio into separate tracks and then use eac3to to convert the audio to DD 640kb and then mux the new audio track and the video to an m2ts in TSMuxer again.

It's a bit long-winded, not as neat a solution as using Ripbot but it's the only way I know of getting DD to play on my Apple TV.

Without. It was still good with the fixclpi but chapter search seemed slower. FF/RW was as before as with without fixclpi.

If ripbot produced results without fixclpi then people would have a choice to use fixxlpi manually if they need it. I suspect fixclpi works differently on what player the person has. I borrowed a Samsung 1500 for a week and ff/rw has always worked on it since I have been using ripbot 1.10.0.

I think I wil remux a BD I have done already with the cont sps setting and see what happens. A 5 minute clip is not really long enough as I want to see what it is like for longer period of time.

@Atak_Snjapera

Up to now I have never tested if FW or RW was working after a BD movie was run through RipBot to make a DVD-9 (BD9) version of it. It had only been important for me that the chapter skip works both for forward or reverse.

All playback tests conducted on a Panasonic BD30 and BD35 player

So I tested the last movie run with RipBot v1.13.3 to now also check FW and RW – Results:

Chapter skip Fw and Rw OK -- FW OK -- but RW not working as the movie restarts from the very beginning

Now I’ve also run your requested tests:

01-- SEI/SPS -- No fixclip – Results:
Chapter skip Fw and Rw OK -- FW OK -- RW OK
01-- SEI/SPS -- With fixclip – Results:
Chapter skip Fw and Rw OK -- FW OK -- RW OK
02-- SEI—No fixclip – Results:
Chapter skip Fw and Rw OK -- FW OK -- RW OK
02-- SEI—With fixclip – Results:
Chapter skip Fw and Rw OK -- FW OK -- RW OK
03-- SPS—No fixclip – Results:
Chapter skip Fw and Rw OK -- FW OK -- RW OK
03-- SPS—With fixclip – Results:
Chapter skip Fw and Rw OK -- FW OK -- RW OK
04—NONE —No fixclip – Results:
Chapter skip Fw and Rw OK -- FW OK -- RW OK
04—NONE —With fixclip – Results:
Chapter skip Fw and Rw OK -- FW OK -- RW OK

In summery I cannot detect any differences between clip 01 – 04 both with and without fixclip.

I will now also run the same movie that the RW does not work on when run through RipBot again but this time through BD_RB v0.20.02b and so what the results are.

1.46GB = 1495MB but I would do it less at around 1.4GB/1430MB to make sure it doesn't get too big for the disc.

According to this page (http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa6.htm), there are 1,463,386,112 bytes in a miniDVD, therefore the number of megabytes is 1,463,386,112/1,048,576(number of bytes in a MB)=1395.59375MB

Since Atak has rounded down from 4482+ to 4480, and 8152 to 8150, if I were you I'd try rounding down to 1393 or 1394.

P.S. To be absolutely precise about your particular media, you should look at what ImgBurn has to say about its precise capacity in bytes, then divide by 1,048,576 as above. :)

I wondering if you can update the x264 64bit.exe because
Version history:
r1123 March 7 2009
Update some asm copyright headers

Vastly faster SATD/SA8D/Hadamard_AC/SSD/DCT/IDCT
Heavily optimized for Core 2 and Nehalem, but performance should improve on all modern x86 CPUs.
16x16 SATD: +18% speed on K8(64bit), +22% on K10(32bit), +42% on Penryn(64bit), +44% on Nehalem(64bit), +50% on P4(32bit), +98% on Conroe(64bit)
Similar performance boosts in SATD-like functions (SA8D, hadamard_ac) and somewhat less in DCT/IDCT/SSD.
Overall performance boost is up to ~15% on 64-bit Conroe.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Don't worry :) I always update tools with new release.

[laserfan]

All you have to do is put it into RB's Tools\x264 directory as x264_x64.exe.

[BlindBandit]

Don't worry :) I always update tools with new release.
Thanks :), also i'm finding CQ=20 better then 2 pass because my video files get done faster then 2 pass & look better then 2 pass but at a smaller size.

also [CoalGuys]Toradora-22[B8A101E7].mkv was 229mb but using CQ=20, it came out to 142mb. i'm really loving this program you made :D

All you have to do is put it into RB's Tools\x264 directory as x264_x64.exe.
I try that but it does not encode only thing it does in muxing.

[Discoboy]

@Atak_Snjapera

In summery I cannot detect any differences between clip 01 – 04 both with and without fixclip.

I will now also run the same movie that the RW does not work on when run through RipBot again but this time through BD_RB v0.20.02b and so what the results are.

Just ran the same movie through BD_RB v0.20.02b and yes both RW and FW work aswell as chapter skip forward and reverse

One Question

Does Ripobot calulate the M2TS Overhead when using Bluray/AVCHD ouput with locked Filesize (2pass VBR) ?

Problem
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1258813#post1258813

Looks correct including M2TS/Bluray output:

Megui calculates for a 1h36m7s 25Fps 44kbps AC3 = 6067Kbps for MKV Container
Ripbot calulates 6057kbps for mkv and 5728 for Bluray Output.

So the Overhead is calulated :)

[~bT~]

^ yes it does. which was why i suggested it to you.

[ACrowley]

^ yes it does. which was why i suggested it to you.

yep :) THX!
It fits exactly now!

Hello. I'm new to the forum here and new to ripbot. I've been using ripbot to make some BD5s for ps3 and bluray standalones using the bluray option in ripbot. I take a 720p mkv file, load it in, set lock size to 4450, use two-pass, level 4.0, try always to keep the video bitrate over 4,000 for 720 BD5s. The question I have is, is there a Dummy's Guide for optimum settings for ripbot while making BD5 and BD9 movies? I've searched the forum here and can't seem to find any newbie guide to using ripbot. Here are the settings I currently use that a friend told me to use, but could I tweak these settings even more? I'm not sure what each setting does. Again, I'm a newbie to x264 encoding, treat me gentle...

http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/2268/vlcsnap212047.th.jpg (http://img3.imageshack.us/my.php?image=vlcsnap212047.jpg)

I tried with ripbot 1.11.5 and it worked perfect

I know its something on my system but have no idea what it is, i have tried different versions of ffdshow with the same result

i don't think it has anything to do with ffdshow because the same version works with ripbot 1.11.5.



Maybe something to do with avs2yuv.exe?

thanks

[Gamezcdr]

Why is so fast Ripbot compared with MeGUI or Automkv ? In pass 1 I have 100 fps in Ripbot and 50 fps in Automkv.

I already tried both of them listed under mpeg2 , but i will try again to be sure

did the sample work for you

edit-just tried with different encoders and same results

i figured it would be something on my end, its just weird how it works by only changing the version of ripbot

[Atak_Snajpera]

did the sample work for you
yes. No color corruption .

[jamos]

how do you calculate bitrate filesize in ripbot? I see where it lets you put in locksize but where does it tell you the bitrate?

n/m It's in the dropdown next to the 2 pass mode (have to change to 2 pass from CQ).

no help for me as it does not calculate for True-hd only ac3 640 bit...also when i import truehd tracks it gives me a floating point error.

I decided to try RB Builder for the first (was 20.2). I used The Dark Knight that has caused me so much problems with ripbot. The end results are perfect doing movie only with AC3 5.1 and subtitles. I can rewind and fast forward and best of all the audio is in sync. I never got that with ripbot 1.13.0 -1.13.3. Also, it was considerably faster -

BD-B
1st pass - 14 hours
2nd pass - 44 hours

Ripbot
1st pass - 24 hours
2nd pass - 70 hours

14-20hrs for 25gig BD-R

when i did RockNrolla -> BD9
w/ BD-Rebuilder v20.02 at High Quality (default) = 7.33hrs
Quality setting is probably lower than RipBot

That is 1080p. If I use 720p then in takes about 8 hours 1st pass and 22 hours for 2nd pass.

DGavcDec has to use old version of libavcodec due to some regressions made in later builds. However latest libavcodec in ffdshow (directshowsource) has no problem with interlaced material (AVCHD camcorders use MBAFF or something like that. I've forgotten)

Indexing in general is useful only when you need frame accurate access.

[Sem]

hello i have a feature request/suggestion for the author of ripbot

would it be possible for you to add an option that allows us to name the audio and video streams

currently it only says GPAC ISO Audio Handler
when you could name it something like English 5.1 AAC 320Kbps

thanks

[illestdomer2005]

You could pre-process the files to a new BD structure. Then put the new files through Ripbot. It make a extra step but look at clown_BD. It will show all the playlists and you should be able to select individual episodes. It will then automatically use eac3to/tsmuxer to create a new BD structure for you. Put this in ripbot.

http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=25818

Thanks, nwg. I guess I could just demux the individual movie streams, and I am certainly not complaining about Atak's system because it is great for those pesky BDs that have the main movie spread among multiple streams :) I just like RipBot so much better than Handbrake.

Nice post.
Which one would I chose to encode a BR to MKV (m2ts -> ts -> mkv) with autocrop enabled? I'd love to have a good quality using an average bitrate of 10000 kbis/s for the video.
What would I check or uncheck on settings screen?
I am a bit confused with all the possibilities there.
File will be played on a popcorn hour or western digital hd tv media player.


And any idea how long a job would take with this config:

Q6600 @ Stock
5GB RAM
Windows Server 2008 Enterprise 64Bit
1TB Samsung HDD and 250GB Samsung HDD.

Another question: Does selecting CQ result in a singlepass encoding or is it 2 pass aswell?

[brogan]

The last few encodes I've tried have froze up right at about 97% on the 2nd pass...I get an error message that states:

I've encoded about 200 movies to 1080p using RipBot (generally, as soon as a new version has come out I'll update it) & have well over a 90% success rate...occasionally, I have had a few issues...I have seen some problems w/rips from my cable box using version 1.13.0 & 1.13.2...for those, I usually use 1.12.0 & they come out fine...figured I would try the newer version w/those rips & see what happened...today, I actually got one to finish (even though I got the avs2yuv.exe has stopped working message at around 97% completion of pass 2) it started muxing & then finished...I briefly checked it before going to work & it looked good...very strange...I am unsure about the avs2yuv.exe utility or what exactly it does

remove any codec packs first.

go back to scratch and remove hali, ffdshow, and avisynth .

then reinstall avisynth and ffdshow, latest versions.

see how that goes.

I had this before when x264 would crash yet ripbot didnt realise and just thought it had finished...

[magmo]

Hi

I don't have any codec pack's installed at all, so I will try to reinstall the one you mentioned. I just find it odd that this happend.

By the way, the x264 app that is in the tools folder of the RipBot folder, is it OK to replace them with a newer version or will that cause any problems?

best to get it all up and running before you go switching out the x264 exe just to make sure all works well. i dont think there is a problem with switching though, assuming there isnt a major revision which has has a revised input structure/settings.

ive had a similar problem, it was when i didnt have the correct decoder settings.

try it with something simple like an xvid+mp3 avi and make sure ffdshow is decoding it all correctly.

Hi

I want to remux all my blu-rays to store on an external hard drive and was wondering, if i take the .mkv file and the audio file from ripbot temp and join them with mkvmerge

would this be the same as doing it myself through eac3to

i assume it is but the reason i ask is i tried this with saw3( i hate this file, giving me nothing but trouble)and when i load the remuxed mkv into ribpot i get an error

Directshowsource:Renderfile, the filter graph won't talk to me

thanks

In v1.13.3 when opening any AVI I get this error message:
AviSource: Could not decompress frame 0
(D:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)

Line 2 of said AVS has this:
video=OpenDMLSource("E:\Video\Movies\name.avi",audio=false).ConvertToYV12()

I ended up remuxing them as MKV's and that worked out fine, but it would be a chore to do every time.

Also, would it be possible to include the ability to add multiple files at the same time and apply the same settings to all of them?

I must admit I had the same problem 2 or 3 times. Most likely AVI was corrupted.

Dear Atak_Snajpera,

Hi i've been using your program with much pleasure! But i have a request is there a way that your can input a mode so you can select the font type, font size and subtitle placement for the subtitle(s).
A bit like in tsmuxer, now we have to use multiple programs to do this.

Thanks already!

Skull

[Atak_Snajpera]

Why do you need this?

[Skull4576]

Why do you need this?

Dear Atak,

I don not need it. It would be just very easy if it can do this..
Now i have to convert the movie file with ripbot, then use Tsmuxer to put in the subs. Wich can do these for ya.

Your program does not let you choose with fonttype, font size or font placement for the subtitles.

We don't need it it is just very easy if ripbot can do these things too! Then you only have to use one program.

Skull

[Digi]

And where is a screenshot???

Apologies about that but i deleted the full encode, But since i have done a full blu ray with BD Rebuilder and the same pixelation occurs it appears i have a codec conflict somehwere as i only have the latest FFdshow and Coreavc 1.9 installed on my system.

Hello!
I will convert Apple movie trailers (MOV files) to AVCHD disc with Ripbot and multiAVCHD. Can you add an audio convert option (from AAC 2.0 to AC3 2.0) in the audio section? This option will be nice! Currently the conversion works only with 5.1 AAC to 5.1 AC3.

Can you explain how you convert these apple trailers.

I have quicktime pro and export the trailer to mp4 using video and audio passthrough but mediainfo reports the resolution as odd and I think its because apple removes the black bars.

Here is the mediainfo for this file, can someone suggest a way to convert this using ripbot so that its compliant H.264 for AVCHD.

Can you explain how you convert these apple trailers.
You must select HD-Ready profile (1280x720) in Properties->resize.
Once you have .bluray folders you can import them in multiAVCHD

[jfcarbel]

Ok, I will give that a try.

You must select HD-Ready profile (1280x720) in Properties->resize.

Will that add black bars or stretch the video?

Atak - I have been using Ripbot264 on my Vista x32 PC for a while and it has worked flawless. I have been having some issues with my PC of late so I am thinking of doing a clean reinstall of Vista. For my HTPCs I use Vista x64, so I was thinking of replacing x32 with x64 on my PC as well. Before I do that though, I know some programs that work on x32 have problems on x64. Will ripbot work on x64 for me (i.e. if it will only work on x32 then I will just reinstall x32 as I need ripbot :D ). Thanks

[meatwad]

@dbone1026,

I've used the same unzipped folder of RipBot264 with both x32 and x64 operating systems. You shouldn't have any problem, but you may have to edit the .ini file to: CheckRequiredSoftware=0. It sometimes has a problem detecting my ffdshow installation. You'll also probably see a bit of a speed increase due to RipBot's use of the 64bit version of x264.

[greggerm]

@dbone1026,

Like Meatwad, I'm using Ripbot on my V64 machine with no edits or changes - all is working well out of the box.

For my HTPCs I use Vista x64, so I was thinking of replacing x32 with x64 on my PC as well. Before I do that though, I know some programs that work on x32 have problems on x64. Will ripbot work on x64 for me (i.e. if it will only work on x32 then I will just reinstall x32 as I need ripbot :D ). Thanks

I am not currently aware of any compatibility problems in any programs I use with Vista x64.

I know that ripbot has the x64 version of x264 codec. So I imagine that there is no problem cause it seems to work flawlessly.:D

[topsham]

Help! What's happening please?

I have just installed the latest version using Ajax's installer and on my first job, just before I get to the configuration screen Media Player Classic pops up with the following message: DirectShowSource : Timeout waiting for graph to start. (J:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)

Can someone advise what the problem is please?

[jhmac]

Hey I just found this program BDSup2Sub v1.9 and it works great in conjunction with RipBot264 to get subs working. You must have Java installed. It is very fast and also supports commandline so maybe it could be added as a tool in RipBot264.

Heres a link: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=145277

[ricky man]

the program was working fine on win 7 32bit & 64bit. when i refromated and reinstalled win 7 ,i started to get the error msg as Topsham. i am running the same win 7 as before. so dont know why i get this error msg when i dont have it before.

[Joe-RequiresJob]

According to this page (http://www.osta.org/technology/dvdqa/dvdqa6.htm), there are 1,463,386,112 bytes in a miniDVD, therefore the number of megabytes is 1,463,386,112/1,048,576(number of bytes in a MB)=1395.59375MB

Since Atak has rounded down from 4482+ to 4480, and 8152 to 8150, if I were you I'd try rounding down to 1393 or 1394.

P.S. To be absolutely precise about your particular media, you should look at what ImgBurn has to say about its precise capacity in bytes, then divide by 1,048,576 as above. :)


Thanks for that - I will go for 1390 to be on the safe side! :thanks:

i started getting error right after reinstalling win 7. i installed ffdshow , haali splitter and avisynth. then ran ripbot264 and i getting directshow error. however i got an error when doing bourne ultraim blu-ray but it works fine with converant blu-ray. bourne ultraim video is vc-1 and converant is mpeg2.
i can use ripbot with bourne with vista just not win 7.

Can you post the log. It should be in the log folder inside the folder that ripbot264 is installed. (ie ripbot264\logs\Log.log) (Ill bet it a security problem with Win7.) Are you running the latest build or the beta.

It might have something to do with the patched UAC...

~DarC

[ricky man]

Since i cannot send you the log.log because there isn't a log when i got the message. but i can send you the getinfo.avs and video-log.log file to see what is wrong with it. I installed windows 7 build 7057 right now. this is when i got the same error msg " DirectShowSource : Timeout waiting for graph to start. (J:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)." when i try to encode again.

i dont know if it is true, i just tried another vc-1 movies. Ripbot still say the same error msg about Directshow. is there anyway i can fix the error msg for vc-1.


this is this what is inside the avs file:

video=DirectShowSource("F:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\video.mkv",audio=false).ConvertToYV12()
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\RipBot264v1.13.3\tools\AviSynth plugins\NicAudio\NicAudio.dll")

I have no problems with vc-1 streams on my laptop (windows 7 build 7000). make sure wmv9 decoder is set in ffdshow for vc-1

[ricky man]

i have try to enable it for vc-1. and i still have the same error.

i am wondering what version of ffdshow and haali splitter and avisynth do you install in order to work?

[Atak_Snajpera]

vc-1 decoding should work even without ffdshow because Vista and Windows 7 have microsoft's decoder installed by default.
Try to install this http://www.free-codecs.com/Windows_Media_Format_11_download.htm

[ricky man]

should i uninstall haali to see if it works or not?

[Atak_Snajpera]

don't uninstall anything. Maybe you should go back to build 7000? Like I said before. I have absolutely no problems. (as always BTW :)

[ricky man]

are you using windows 7 32bit or 64bit?

[Atak_Snajpera]

32bit

[Ajax_Undone]

I am using x64 with no problems so it has nothing to do with architecture.

[Killerattacks]

I just started using Ripbot and imho it's the best tool among all the conversion tools I have tried. Thanks for this great application :)

And if I might ask a question, I noticed that when ffdshow isn't the h264 decoder with the highest priority (I'm using the DivX decoder), then the framereate-detection fails. Just wanted to know if this behavior is intended. It's no big issue. And thanks again!

Blame DivX guys :) Therefore I prefer ffmpeg-mt

[ricky man]

i am wondering how do i know if ripbot is running x264 or x264_x64.exe file?

[BlindBandit]

I have a quick question about Avisynth MT, how can i tell if Ripbot264 is using this Avisynth MT script from what i put in the ffdshow Avisynth line. please tell me if the script i put is wrong & what script you are using Atak_Snajpera for Avisynth in ffdshow?

#MT

i am wondering how do i know if ripbot is running x264 or x264_x64.exe file?

open task manager and it will list it

i am wondering how do i know if ripbot is running x264 or x264_x64.exe file?

The x64 version is used on PC with 64bit architecture.

P.S. The PC also has to be running a x64 version of windows.:)

[Killerattacks]

Ok, I have encountered some problem with the aspect ratio of a .mkv file I transcoded. The transcoded file has a wrong aspect ratio. I converted a h264 AC3 .mkv with softsubs to an AAC 2.0 h264 High4.0 profile .mp4.

Playing the original file in MPC HC ffdshow shows these values:

704x480, SAR: 213/176, DAR: 71/40

The job log shows the following two lines:

x264 [info]: 704x480 @ 23.98 fps
x264 [info]: using SAR=1/1

Playing the resulting file in MPC HC ffdshow results in:

704x480, SAR: 1/1, DAR: 22/15

I'm by no means an expert in this, but my guess would be that the original file seems to have some strange 22:15 resolution, which is stretched by the player to 16:9 because of some flag/information in the .mkv. And while converting maintains the resolution, it kills the aspect ratio.

While I realize that ripbot features the setting "Size" in the "Properties" menu where my setting was "Do not resize" and the resolution is actually the same, it makes me wonder whether .mp4 can't handle the "it's actually 16:9" Information or some kind of error on my/ripbot's side. With that in mind, shouldn't maintaining the original aspect ratio be more important then maintaining the resolution?

But I admit, that keeping the aspect ratio and omitting the information of 704*84 pixels (since the corresponding 16:9 resolution would be 704*396 instead of 704*480) seems like it's not the best deal either. So is there no way out, like e.g. the way it's handled in the original .mkv just as .mp4?

[Atak_Snajpera]

@Killerattacks
select 720x480 under size and everything should be ok. Your resolution is not DVD-NTSC standard resolution. Correct sar values are only applied for 720x576 , 720x480 ,1280x1080 and 1440x1080. Rest is treated as 1:1.

[Killerattacks]

ok, I'll try that. Thanks!

[blobbybob]

A small request please .. could you make the chatacters on the bottom that show the progress of the encode a different colour. I find that with my old eyes a little more contrast helps a lot.
Thanks

[~bT~]

Your resolution is not DVD-NTSC standard resolution

IIRC 704x480 is a valid resolution for dvd.

heres what it says on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpeg2

The DVD standard uses MPEG-2 video, but imposes some restrictions:

* Allowed Resolutions

720 × 480, 704 × 480, 352 × 480, 352 × 240 pixel (NTSC)
720 × 576, 704 × 576, 352 × 576, 352 × 288 pixel (PAL)

[turbojet]

Any news on the option not kill x264 on close and leaving a bunch of empty temp directories on the drives?

[Killerattacks]

The resizing trick worked! But now I noticed other issues. I guess I have no luck with video encoding...
I transcoded two different files. The first one is just 1 minute long (h264,2.0 AAC, .ass subtitles). In the resulting .mp4 the audio and subtitles are slightly off. The subtitles (dis-)appear a little bit to early. Same goes for the sound.
The other file is a 50 minutes long (h264, ac3, .ass subtitles) video, also transcoded to .mp4. Audio and subtiles are in sync but appear way to early. In the original the first spoken dialogue is at 01:10 (with the corresponding subtitle) but in the .mp4 it's at 00:23. As I said, subs and audio are in sync, but not with the video. Another strange thing: MPC HC shows a running time of 50:55 for the .mkv and the transcoded .mp4 shows only 50:08. strange.

Encoding was always set to .mp4, AAC 2.0, 1-pass CFR H264. Done on Vista buisness 64. I had the CCCP installed but deinstalled it in regards to the first post in this topic. I installed the latest ffdshow and haali media splitter manually.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I need to know more details about your source. Paste madiainfo report. I suppose your source is mkv-vfr

[Mary H]

I'd like to second that request! I know it seems like a small thing, but it would make a big difference in ease of usability. White against pale blue really doesn't provide very good contrast. :)

[duramaximus]

Atak,

I am thinking about buying a PS3 for my next Blu-ray player and have a qouple questions. I read somewhere in hear that you own a PS3 and was wondering if you are able to stream blu-rays to it. If so, are you able to toggle the subtitles on/off or do they have to be burnt into the stream.

I have a home server with about 100 Blu-rays in .iso format and am looking for some type of streamer that will allow me to toggle subtitles on/off. I need this for my wife, she is hearing impaired.

Thanks :D

Duramaximus

[mike4192]

I have a small observation to report here, don't know if its been said before. When I'm converting wide screen videos for my psp, it seems if I go to change the resolutions, they are a bit off. For example, for the PSP, it has a selectable resolution of 480x270 when the actual PSP screen resolution is 480x272.

[Atak_Snajpera]

For example, for the PSP, it has a selectable resolution of 480x270 when the actual PSP screen resolution is 480x272.
480x272 is not correct 16:9 resolution and PSP ALWAYS removes two bottom lines!

[str8desifer]

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody else is having a problem doing two movies on que? Everytime i try and do two movies overnight the second one always fail. The first movie is perfect. When i do the second movie by itself, it works perfect. Happens to me on both of my computers. One is a Phenom x2, the other is a core i7 both with vista 64, and with the latest ffdshow, avisynth, and Haali Media Spliter. I have no codec packs installed. I have attached the log. Something about enoder errors which only happens when doing two movies.
Thanks

[Killerattacks]

Ok, I noticed something strange. Like I said the file shows 50:55 in MPC HC. That is the actual length. The transcoded file (via ripbot264) is 50:08. The difference is 47 seconds. Now take a look at the chapters list in the mediainfo log below. it says:

1 : 00:00:00.000 - Cellphone Reminder
2 : 00:00:00.000 - Chapter 1
3 : 00:02:21.700 - Chapter 2


But when I play the file Haali media splitter shows:

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/8377/haalikara.png (http://img8.imageshack.us/my.php?image=haalikara.png)

Notice the starting time of the first chapter. It's 00:46. And the first 46 seconds of the original file (the "Cellphone Reminder" chapter) contain actually only video, no audio or subtitles.

Now I'm no expert at this, but I thought that maybe it's related to Matroskas linking feature, magically embedding the first 46 seconds from another file. But even if I turn this option off in the haali splitter and open the file with WMP (or MPC HC) they both show 50:55 as runtime.

Seems to me like the encoder of the original mkv shifted the audio/subtitle-stream by the length of the first chapter.
But seems like that is not all... the video in the transcoded version at 50:08 is somewhere around 49:58~50:00. Seems like everything is messed up.

I guess that's the result of the tenthousands of things you can do with .mkv. In theory it's all nice but when you start working with it, it's all messed up. Seems like I won't re-encode any files in the near future :)

Seems to me like the encoder of the original mkv shifted the audio/subtitle-stream by the length of the first chapter.
What encoder did you use to create this weird mkv?

[b66pak]

@ Killerattacks i think you have a VFR mkv...

do this:

in haali installation folder you will find mkv2vfr.exe (you can use windows search to locate the folder!)...copy your .mkv to this folder...open a command promt and run this command line:

mkv2vfr.exe my_mkv.mkv my_avi.avi my_timecodes_v1.txt

post the content of the .txt file here...

[hoju3508]

I had 2 jobs in my queue, and the first job said that it was done and it was working on the Job2 (2% first pass).

Job1=*DONE* 00251.m2ts -> 00251.bluray
Job2=00244.m2ts -> 00244.bluray

I clicked on "Abort job" and went to look for 00251.bluray folder and it wasn't there. I only had ~18 Gig of HD space left. Has anyone else run into this issue?

[mackworth]

RipBot seems pretty cool. I currently use handbrake but handbrake needs an extra step to do bluray. One thing I would love to see in ripbot:

For the apple TV, it accepts 2 audio tracks, a AAC track and an ac3 track. This technically isn't supported by the mp4 standard wrapper, but the apple tv plays them back. I believe the ac3 track needs to be the second audio track. Any chance this could be added? Seems silly to have a apple tv preset without supporting the apple tv's ability to do ac3.

[Killerattacks]

thanks for your help Atak_Snajpera and b66pak. Finally found the reason for the problem. The chapters in the original .mkv were messed up, but for some reason this doesn't affect any player during playback (guess we have to thank Haali for this) so I presumed that the file was ok and therefore the reencoding had to be the problem.

I'm sorry for taking up your time and trying to blame the problem to ripbot. Won't happen again. And a little anecdote at the end: While the file with the messed up chapters plays just fine with Haali's Splitter in video players as mentioned before, mkv2vfr.exe (by Haali too) created an .avi without the very first chapter :)

[mike4192]

Is it possible to add the subtitles that are soft subbed on a mkv video when converting by a way other than having to extract the subtitles first from the mkv file? Doesn't seem you can select the subs inside the mkv file when converting.

[~bT~]

^ yes u can. just select the srt/ass/ssa sub file using the button above the output path option.

Atak, any chance of adding batch feature?

I knew you didn't want to, but maybe you have change your mind after few months?

Thanx again.

First Atak your're a god! Thx for this powerfull tool! :thanks:

But I have a simple problem in converting my blu-ray-movie. I've installed all the tools, and ripbots exits the process without any error. But the final movie has no sound. VLC tells me, that their is no soundtrack.

I think, the solution is only one click in ffdshow or in the other tools, but dont know where to click in the settings.

Can you Atak oder somebody help me?
Perhaps theire is a install guide for the tools ffdshow, Haali Media Splitter and Avisynth in this forum?

Thx

What version TSmuxeR do you recommend using? Can we just upgrade to the newest versions as they come out? I've not been able to get a AVCHD disk to play on my Sony BDP-300. It does have the latest firmware. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the MKV files I have being cropped to be non standard or what. It does reconize as an AVCHD disk but just sits there and won't play. Any help would be appreciated. :thanks:

@ Atak_Snajpera,

Do you have any plans to allow an option to incorporate neuron2's DGAVCIndexNV, DGMPGIndexNV, etc to RipBot264? I currently use the tools with RipBot264 by avs script, but if you have multiple files it often crashes CUVIDserver.exe (at least in my case). The other issue I have when I import an avs script is that I can't use the auto cropping feature. If you don't have plans to incorporate the tools as an option (which would be understandable), maybe someone else that reads this might be able to solve the minor issues I'm having when I use the tools with RipBot264. Neuron2's tools and your use of 64bit X264 really help in the speed dept. Thanks for all you hard work on RipBot264.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Two main problems:
1) I have Ati card. To do tests I would have to run to friend living floor above.
2) These tools are not free. Since I have Ati card I see no reason to spend money for those apps.

[meatwad]

Completely understandable. Hopefully someone else who uses the tools also uses RipBot264 and knows how to get around the issues I mentioned previously.

[mackworth]

I second that. That would be brilliant.

Indeed it would. I try to make files that play on all my apple stuff, and having aac and ac3 would make it perfect.

[blammo]

The last couple of times I tried using RipBot, I ran into a problem. (It's been a while since I used it, forgive me if I'm vague)...after the menu where you choose the video and the audio, and all that, and RipBot starts analyzing, a message pops up and says something about there being no audio. The first time this happened, I restarted my computer and ran RipBot again and I didn't get the error. The last time I ran into this problem, I tried restarting, but the problem persisted each time. The movie was Eagle Eye.

Also, I have done 3 successful rips...Hellboy 2 converted to 1280 x 720 went from 26gb from the original file down to 4.8gb. Open Season 2 converted to 1280 x 720 went from 21gb from the original down to 2.xgb. Both took between 8 ~ 10hrs. However, The Italian Job took about 24 hrs. and went from around 20-something gb down to only 18gb. Why was this movie different? Is it because The Italian Job was an MPEG-2 bluray?

Some movies have more static scenes (less data to compress=smaller size) than others.

Hello, Atak

(my first post) I've been using ripbot264 for a few weeks now. It's easy to use and simplifies the many tasks I used to do manually with avisynth, eac3to, tsmuxer, etc.

While ripping/demuxing BD titles with and without your tool, I've had several instances of A/V sync loss and/or unknown delay values. How do you go about finding the audio delay value, other than trial and error? Sometime MediaInfo will report a delay value, other times it will not. Often the reported delay value is wrong. Sometimes I think I've found the right value, and after the process is done, the sync if off again. Sometimes ripbot's analysis via eac3to will report the file being 60000/1001 while MediaInfo says it's 29.970. Which one is right? I have many, many questions, but that's enough for now. Thank you.

[jhmac]

Thanks that was my problem once formatted to standard HD res the movies play fine...

@Atak

Have you thought about adding BDSup2Sub to RipBot264 package? This would be great addition if it can be done...

Thanks

[dbone1026]

This may or may not be a Ripbot issue, but thought I would post incase anyone has some insight. My desktop PC is Vista x32 w/Quad Core CPU. I have been using Ripbot for quite some time now to convert my Blu Ray/HD DVDs into 8GB mkvs. My settings are Profile 4.0, 2Pass, 8150MB Size Lock, and original audio. This has always taken me approx 10-12 hours to do a conversion (about 2 hours on the 1st pass and 8-10 hours on the 2nd pass) and the mkvs have always been flawless (hats off to atak).

I just recently did a clean reinstall of Vista x32 on my PC. I reinstalled the latest version of ffdshow tryouts, avisynth, and Haali. Using the same settings as before on Ripbot for a Blu Ray movie, it took me about twice as long to do (about 4 hours on 1st pass and nearly 20 hours on 2nd pass). Once the mkv was complete, I tested out the movie. There is now a green line along the entire bottom of the movie. Also, the picture looks all messed up, where there is a reflection of everything.

A couple other weird things are now happening. Now, none of my mkvs play properly in MPC-HC or WMP, they are either pixelated or out of sync. Yet when I play the same mkvs in Vista Media Center or SageTV that look and play perfect. Any clue what is going on, Ripbot is obviously telling me something is wrong...

[greggerm]

I'd like to "third" the enhancement request put forward by Blobbyblob and Mary H...
A small request please .. could you make the chatacters on the bottom that show the progress of the encode a different colour. I find that with my old eyes a little more contrast helps a lot.
With the white-on-light blue, I've found myself having to move my head around the monitor to get the right angle on the LCD screen to see the progress indicator. Adjusting the text to a darker blue, perhaps slate color would probably keep within the color schemes of the program while affording better readability. :)

Otherwise, Ripbot is working great so far!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I suspect that your source is VC-1. Try to disable or enable VC-1 decoding in FFDshow. It looks like decoder problem. It would be easier if you could send me 50MB sample. Use DGSplit and www.mediafire.com

A couple other weird things are now happening. Now, none of my mkvs play properly in MPC-HC
Do you have internal decoders enabled in MPC-HC or disabled? (I prefer decoding via FFDshow+Haali instead of internal filters)

Ok. I will use dark grey/blue next time. However I have two a questions. is Your monitor gloss or mat? Do you use DVI or VGA cable?
I have no problems to read white letters on blue background. I have mat LCD connected via DVI cable.

Yes, the movie is VC-1. When I installed FFDShow when it asks for the video formats to decode with ffdshow I unchecked H.264/AVC and VC-1. I then registered MPC Video Decoder so I could get hardware acceleration when watching my movies in VMC/SageTV.

I am at work right now, I might be able to remote in to my server so I can get you over a sample of the mkv. If not I will send it over later today. Thanks atak.

Unregister MPC Video Decoder and enable software decoders in ffdshow

[greggerm]

Atak - thanks for the consideration on the font colors!

I use a matte LCD attached via DVI as well. With the correct angle, I can see the text OK... however if there is any hint of glare (which is diffuse due to the matte screen), or if the LCD isn't at the 100% perfect angle to my eyes, the text becomes a challenging to read. The light background blue (and the underlying texture) conspire to make it tough to read sometimes.

Again, thanks.

I know its something on my system but have no idea what it is, i have tried different versions of ffdshow with the same result

i don't think it has anything to do with ffdshow because the same version works with ripbot 1.11.5.



Maybe something to do with avs2yuv.exe?

Don't! AMD isn't as fast as Intel. Plus you would need to get a new motherboard.

I'm about to buy a new PC and was wanting to install the latest 64 bit Windows 7 beta on it, before I go down this route and make a very expensive mistake can I just check that Ripbot264 works fine on the 64bit version of Windows 7? I've read that Windows 7 prevents stuff like Haali Media Splitter and FFDShow being used, is that correct and if so how do you get around it? Basically at the moment I'm using ToNMT with AnydvdHD to rip my blu-ray discs and Ripbot264 to re-encode them, all I want is confirmation that I'll still be able to do that if I move to Windows 7 64 bit.

Thanks
Andy

[Atak_Snajpera]

If you are lucky you can still find Q6600. It should not be very expensive. It works without problems at 3Ghz! I highly recommend this cpu!!!

I've read that Windows 7 prevents stuff like Haali Media Splitter and FFDShow being used, is that correct and if so how do you get around it?
False! Everything works well. AviSynth , FFDshow and Haali.

You will still need to buy a new motherboard for your AMD (AM2+) and in order to get the full benefit of such processor it require a new Deck of Ram and you would need to find one that had you current Video config (ie ATI or Nvidia).

Usually when I am looking to upgrade I just build A new System. It seems to be cheaper that way.:rolleyes:

Hi.

I uninstalled K-lite codec pack as recommended and am just using FFDSHOW and HAALI. Ripbot264 seems to be working fine. Great Program, Thanks.

One thing however that i have noticed is that not as many of my video files now generate thumbnails. Previously all my .m2ts and .ts blu-ray rips plus .MKV files would show thumbnails in explorer but since uninstalling K-Lite they are no longer working.
Am I missing a setting in FFDSHOW to get my thumbnails back. I turned the thumbnail option on in HAALI but it doesn't seem to have made a difference.

Thanks for any help.

The order in which you do things is important. THis is what works for me, every time:

1. Choose Automatic cropping. Let it do its thing.

2. Below that, Choose HD Ready, 1280x720.

3. Then, and only then, choose Custom. It should come up with 1280 by whatever is appropriate for the movie with black bars removed and the correct aspect ratio. (from step 1) For instance, 1280 x 540. (the height varies from one movie to another.)

4. Click on Preview to see if your movie's aspect ratio looks right. You'll still see black bars in the preview, but they won't be included in your finished movie.

5. Encode.

[Atak_Snajpera]

1. Choose Automatic cropping. Let it do its thing.
Autocrop may not work well for dark movies

2. Below that, Choose HD Ready, 1280x720.
Choose that if you want blu-ray compatible video or select Custom with fixed aspect ratio ( for example Custom [2.35:1])

When you finish selecting the audio/video an "add" button near the done one would be nice.

Why ? well if i want to render "normal" then 4-5 resized versions i have to add the video and audio 5 times, this way i can add a lot of jobs with the same video/audio.

What do you think ? can it be done ? would you consider adding it ?

[redlenses]

I have a PS3 and used the Blu-Ray output and put it into an AVCHD folder but it wouldn't work unless I manually went through and renamed all the files using 8.3 format.

Is there any option in RipBot to output the files using 8.3 format?
If not, would it be possible to add a checkbox or radio button for this?
i.e. you have the radio buttons for Save As: .MP4, .MKV, BLU-RAY DISC. If BLU-RAY DISC is selected, a checkbox for "AVCHD" or 8.3 filenames is enabled
OR could a 4th Radio Button "AVCHD" be added which means do the same thing as BLU-RAY DISC, but add the AVCHD folder and use 8.3 filenames?

[redlenses]

Question: I used RipBot264 to encode a standard def (TV Show) DVD video to Blu-Ray DISC (MT2S)
If I played the MT2S file on my PS3 it played in High Def (1080i) with pillar boxes (just like the DVD would upscaled)
If I played the Blu-Ray DISC Image using AVCHD, my PS3 played the video in Standard Def (480i/p) Full Screen.

Why would it play the same file (MT2S) differently? Is there a way to specify in the BLU-RAY DISC image that I want it to play upscaled?

Is there a decombing filter (similar to Handbrake) in RipBot?

[unimatrix0]

OHHHH MYYY GOOOD!!!!!! WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU SET CROP SETTINGS MANUALLY AND THEN 720p?!??!?!?!?!?

Thanks for the candid response :p

There are couple of issues here... First is, if I choose automatic crop + 720p and hit on preview, it shows black bars. I'm not sure if it means that preview isn't working right, or auto crop didn't crop right. If I switch to manual hit preview, and then switch back to automatic and hit preview, now it shows fine.

The other issue is, if I set manual first and then 720, and then try to adjust the top, bottom crop numbers, the size setting resets to "do not resize".

Even if I adjust manually all numbers, and at then choose 720, adjusting manually is bit painful because media player classic always shows black bars, so one has to resize the window's height to see if the black bars disappear or not.

Like Mary H mentioned, the order matters, so I also had the issue of selecting 720 first and then automatic crop, and that also resets the size.

Also another thing is that it'd be really nice if cropping were set always to "automatic" by default. I did a couple of encodes a few weeks ago and later realized that they weren't cropped and it was pretty painful :rolleyes:

The reason I'm outlining these is because I'm coming from Handbrake for Mac, where none of the issues above are present. Order doesn't matter, adjusting crop values doesn't reset the size, and automatic crop works fine pretty much all the time. Auto crop is on by default. Manual cropping in handbrake is easier because it's real-time, the preview window shows changes immediately as you increase/decrease pixels.

I was liking ripbot264 a lot but these issues are forcing me back to handbrake :(. It would be realllyyyy nice if these issues could be addressed, it'd make the experience much more transparent, especially for those of us that don't know all the quirks and stuff.

Why ? well if i want to render "normal" then 4-5 resized versions i have to add the video and audio 5 times, this way i can add a lot of jobs with the same video/audio.

What do you think ? can it be done ? would you consider adding it ?

Don't forget this ...

@atak...

small feature request. when selecting subtitles...it seems like I can only select .srt files and not .sup files directly, but your program converts the .srt files to a sup file. Can you add the feature of selecting a .sup file directly? I'd like to be able to select my resized .sup files (using the great program BDSup2Sub to resize from 1080 to 720 without having to ocr.) That way I can figure out what bitrate to use. If I use an ocr'd .srt to base my bitrate off...and then not use the srt file when muxing, I seem to have a lot of free space now. That's the reasoning I would like to be able to select the .sup file. Thanks.

[laserfan]

I would like to be able to select the .sup file.Hmmm, I have never had any trouble selecting a .sup file. Indeed I just did one where I selected both a sup and an srt. :confused:

[alc0re]

DOH!!!

You're right. I checked before I posted but here's what happened.

I knew version 1.12 didn't do it...so I downloaded newest (1.13.something) and checked. Problem was I didn't have any bluray content on my laptop's hard drive and I was just about to go to sleep, so I didn't want to turn on my desktop. I had a family guy episode on my laptop so I selected that, and selected bluray as output. I tried to select subtitles but ripbot gave me an error that the video was not in the correct resolution for bluray. So I had to change the output to mkv. Then I was able to select subtitles but apparently when its in mkv output you cannot select .sup files. Anyways...ignore my previous feature request..thanks atak for your great program.

Since today I haven't Audio options... I will convert mov files to BD Disc. Can anybody help me?

[illestdomer2005]

Atak,

I just recently tried to convert to .bluray, and it worked -- I guess -- but when I mounted it with PowerISO and played it back with WinDVD9, the video was stretched back to 16:9. When I tried to play it on my PS3, I got audio but no video. When I play just the .m2ts file with Windows Media Player, everything is perfect with the correct 2.40 aspect ratio. Any thoughts?

My first guess is that I should not have cropped the video. I am wondering if that screwed something up? Other than that, everything else is default: Profile is the [High 4.0] HD . Bluray . Consoles profile; audio is 2 channel AC3 192kbps; and target size is 4480MB. Please help!

Edit: I am pretty sure that was the problem. I will post my results after re-encoding WITHOUT cropping *sigh*

hi Atak!
thx for your cool program, it work great!

I'd like to ask you just one thing:

- is possible, when you start the encoding, to add a "Pause/Resume" Button?

it'd be really cool, so if someone have to do something then need more power can "pause" the
work and then "resum" it!

do you think its possible?
thx again! :)

[illestdomer2005]

So, I discovered that when you're converting to .bluray, you CANNOT crop the video like you might otherwise when outputting a .mp4 or .mkv file. This might be obvious to some, but I didn't even think about it until after I had video playback issues on the PS3.

If you intend to burn your completed .bluray job to a DVD or BD afterwards, DO NOT CROP the video...unless you just want to waste some time :)

[magmo]

I use Ripbot264 1.13.3 and the latest ffdshow (ffdshow_rev2832_20090328_clsid), I have ripped the BD disk to my HD using AnyDVD HD 6.5.3.1 and then I opened up the stream and selected to use 2-Pass 6144 KBPS, automatically crop, custom size 1280 x 532. Whn I start this job it imidiatly tell me that the job is done. This is of course not so, what can I do to make RipBot start make me the mkv file I want?

I think you can use "process explorer" (software, downloadable at Microsoft) to do that. Generally hibernate will also work so you can turn your pc of during encoding.

I am attempting to use ripbot264, unsuccessfully. Wondering if I have botched the install or requirements.

Initial installation of ripbot264 when attempting to open m2ts sources would hit either 31 or 32% when demuxing then appear to hang. Twenty-four hours later no progress. Same sources work with Handbrake, tsMuxeR, etc. Format the box and install fresh Windows XP SP3, all MS patches, and RipBot264 and requirements. No change in behavior. Sought requirements and fulfilled them as best I understood.

Suggestions? What additional information can I provide?

I am probably not providing sufficient details to trouble shoot so feel free to direct me on how to create a debug or whatever. Attempted to search forum, honest, but didn't find anything. If I have missed the obvious, sorry.

Thank you.

[JPSiemer]

Atak_Snajpera,

I love how the program has turned out. I was wondering if you would consider adding OGG and AC3 audio output to RipBot264's audio profiles. You see, I encode a lot of videos for playback on my Xbox via XBMC, however, AAC isn't the best option because it requires a lot more CPU to decode than OGG or AC3.

AC3 is the most preferred choice because it requires less than 2% of the Xbox's CPU... most of the time I just pass-thru the original AC3, but sometimes I have huge DTS files that I want to convert to down to a smaller AC3. In this case, it would be nice to do within RipBot's GUI. OGG is the next choice and uses roughly 6% CPU... so OGG is the preferred codec if I don't need all 6 channels of audio. And AAC is the last choice because it requires roughly 18-20% CPU to decode... and coupling AAC audio with H.264 video leads to a lot of stuttering!

Thanks.

-JPS

ok! i thought it was a nice feature, but its ok, thx anyway!

thx, i'll see if i can find how to do it with "process explorer"!
I need this feature because (i have only 1 computer and not 10000) when
i'm encoding, sometimes i need to do something else and i dont wanna wait other 6 hours to do it,
thats all!

i'll let you know if i find something.
If no, i'll check for another encoding program.

Why not just encode in low priority?

[hoju3508]

Is this a Blu-ray source? Have you tried using tsmuxer to "demux" the video and audio and then loading it into Ripbot264?

thx for the suggestion.

thats'd be good if i can switch from "low priority" and viceversa,
so if i have to do something with my computer, i can tun on it, do what i have to do,
and then put it in high priority!

but, as far i know, this dont work!

If i set in low priority i'll encode it in a week...i think! (i never try it!) :D

I must be missing something. No matter what kind of audio input I have, I only get AAC as a choice... I'm not seeing Vorbis or AC3 anywhere...

[Atak_Snajpera]

i see that your knowledge about priority in windows is VERY LIMITED. You really don't know how some things work.

I only get AAC as a choice... I'm not seeing Vorbis or AC3 anywhere...
DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT OGG and AC3 are allowed in .mp4??!?! (However some claim that AC3 is supported in mp4)

[solnegro]

@hoju3508

Thank you for responding!

Yes it is a blu-ray source without aacs (anyDVD), I can demux without issue from tsMuxeR and Handbrake. Tried several smaller m2ts from other blu-ray disks with the same results. I have never had Ripbot264 successfully demux *anything* which is why I am assuming I booboo'd.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

If you are wanting ac3 audio in an mp4 file to play on Apple TV then I think Handbrake is your only option. Apple TV needs 2 audio tracks to play AC3, the first a stereo aac track (can be low bitrate) and the second the AC3 track. The file needs to be saved as m4v. Unfortunately Ripbot is not able to do this yet.

[hoju3508]

That's not true.


If i set in low priority i'll encode it in a week...i think! (i never try it!) :D

[hoju3508]

Use BDInfo to locate the main movie. Pick the right m2ts file and Ripbot264 will do the rest.

What particular Blu-ray are you having issues with?

@hoju3508

Thank you for responding!

Yes it is a blu-ray source without aacs (anyDVD), I can demux without issue from tsMuxeR and Handbrake. Tried several smaller m2ts from other blu-ray disks with the same results. I have never had Ripbot264 successfully demux *anything* which is why I am assuming I booboo'd.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

[solnegro]

@hoju3508

Determining the movie is not a problems, since I can play it back without issue prior to attempting to use RipBot264. Besides, it's HUGE so rather easy to spot. The two sources I have tried without success with RipBot264--remember tsMuxeR and Handbrake demux without issue, are Kung Fu Panda and RocknRolla. I have a few more in my library to try, but no reason to believe they will work, but will give them a try since I am just thrashing, anyway.

Anyone else have suggestions. *frustrated*

;)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Are you sure that you use ANYDVD HD?

[solnegro]

I think so, since I can play and demux the m2ts elsewhere. hmm.. how to validate.. how this?

You don't even know what you bought????????????

[solnegro]

lol

I hope you are teasing?!

Of course I do, but since you were asking, I felt like I needed to validate it by showing you. Again, I can remove the aacs encryptioin without issue and play the m2ts without any further changes, however, I would like to use Ripbot264 to reduce size from the sources 18 to 20 GB, use with PS3 Media Server and PS3, HTPC, or whatever. I have been able to reproduce the problem using different sources from different workstations. There must be a common factor, but I am not seeing it. /don't point at me!/ Well, I could be doing something retarded. If so, enlighten me.

Umm, in your pics it says "Please Wait..." So, are you waiting for RipBot to finish preparing the streams? This takes a long time!!!!

[JPSiemer]

DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT OGG and AC3 are allowed in .mp4??!?! (However some claim that AC3 is supported in mp4)

Ya, sorry, I figured it out now. I didn't realize that you coded the program to limit the profiles based on which codec was selected... pretty smart of you! But ya, I'm positive that AC3 is supported in MP4 natively... and I just looked up info on OGG and found that it is not supported. So you might want to consider at least allowing for AC3 in MP4.

Oh, and is there any reason why 2.0 AC3 isn't supported? I've come across many videos that only contain a 2.0 audio track...

Thanks!

- JPS

[solnegro]

That did occur to me even if it was unusual to not show any progress after several hours. At the point "Demuxing selected streams... 32%" CPU Utilization is typically less than 1%. Only process I can attribute to RipBot264 is Ripbot264.exe and eac3to.exe of which both are at 0% CPU utilization. There was really no reason to leave it at this point, but I did. More than twenty-four hours the dialogue continues to display no further progress past 32% nor does the CPU show any increase in utilitzation.

I am sure it is going to be something silly, but I am willing to throw myself out here to be embarassed and get this bloody app to work. I am even OK with asking me questions like I am a neophyte, since clearly I do not know the solution.

Feel my pain?

History:
week and half trying different sources with consistent failures, using other applications without issue (tsMuxeR and Handbrake), trying a second workstation, pull down the installation packages to ensure the culprit is not a corrupted package, wiping a workstation to provide a clean and base build. failures continue and symptoms do not change. Post for help.

[solnegro]

Ugh. Well, this may help in solving the mystery. After Ripbot264 stops processing (audio?) duing the 'Please wait.. Demuxing..' and I kill eac3to.exe process, ripbot264 moves forward to 'Gathering Information' and allows me to encode the m2ts to mp4. It's encoding as I post.

Any insight on why eac3to.exe may be 'hanging'? Is it hanging? Ugh. You get the idea.

Here is the log.txt, and I am selecting #2.
eac3to v3.12

The log you posted doesn't help, because this command

tells eac3to to output the tracklist for that file

[solnegro]

@nurbs

Agreed. Not suggesting I know root cause. Hoping someone can give me direction on next step to determine it. Assuming eac3to.exe is the culprit, how do I get it to generate an error or log to determine the problem?

[Blender]

Love this software thank you for you hard work and support!!

I have been using for over 12 months without a hitch but suddenly will not demux bluray vc1 ac3 in m2ts container . It writes to temp folder and stalls at 1%. The only change I have made is RipBot and data reside on a new 6tb array mounted in windows XP with 4k block size to overcome >2TB limit. Is this problematic?

[iwantthis]

I'm using RipBot264 v1.13.3

[nurbs]

@nurbs

Agreed. Not suggesting I know root cause. Hoping someone can give me direction on next step to determine it. Assuming eac3to.exe is the culprit, how do I get it to generate an error or log to determine the problem?

Check the folder where eac3to should demux/reencode the streams. It usually creates a log file with same name as the first stream it outputs. You can also try to demux/reencode the streams manually with eac3to to see if the problem actually lies with this program or has another cause.

[Sarreq Teryx]

would it be possible to add variable framerate to ripbot's options? I have a guide (for megui) from someone helping me out with a particular encode if it would help


This is the script I'm using for blahblahblah (avs);
(requires Avisynth (http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/Main_Page) installed, vfr mod of Decomb (http://webpages.charter.net/falconx/decombvfrmod.html) and megui (http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/MeGUI) as encoder)

Telecide(order=1,guide=0,vthresh=40,dthresh=5,blend=true,ovr="frames.ovr")
Decimate(mode=4,threshold=1.0,timecodes="timecodes.txt",vfrstats="vfrstats")

#DupMC(log="blah.dup1.txt")
DeDup(threshold=0.3, maxcopies=10, maxdrops=3, log="blah.dup1.txt", times="blah.times.txt", timesin="timecodes.txt")

AntiAliasing(th_luma=25, th_croma=25, aath=27)

In order:
DGDecode: Creates a d2v project file that refers directly to the vobs, so no need for imtermediate files, find it in MeGUI's Tools-folder(DGIndex/DGIndex.exe). Allows to encode only parts, but sometimes if you start with wrong frame it will cause bad frames/combing issues en masse even with sane settings, shift the "[" (starting position) with one or more frames and try again. Folder will also include the manuals for it;

d00 5 1 716460032 0 1 26 b2 b2 92 b2 b2 a2 b2 b2 a2 b2 b2 a2
etc...
Then you load it to an .avs with DGDecode_Mpeg2Source("C:\Path\insertname.d2v").

Telecide/Decomb: Will decide which frames to deinterlace, guides in the folder so look up the parameters. The mode above allows the encode to have both video (30000:1001) and film (24000:1001) after decimating. 'order: Unlike TFM (another deinterlacer) it doesn't automatically detect if the field order is 0 or 1, so if the encode (you can run the avs in most media players, just comment dedup/antialiasing/other intensive filters out (but not Telecide/Decimate, or the lines in the beginning)) has 'hacking' isssues even at sane settings try changing from 1 to 0 or vice versa...
The timecodes.txt will contain the timecodes, it is used either with DeDup below, or omitting that, it's the timecodes file to be muxed with the final encode/mkv...
Ovr is simply the overrides file, just set the threshold low enough for deinterlacing and you won't need this, otherwise there's a good explanation in the guide included in the zip...

Dedup (http://akuvian.org/src/avisynth/dedup/): (see the readme on that site) Doubtful how much use it would be with Macademi as it will hardly decrease a significant number of frames, but this is how it operates: (note; threshold determines how alike the frames must be to be considered duplicates, if set higher the less total frame number, but unique frames might be lost...)

You need two passes for this, for first pass have either only the first line in the avs, or comment the other by placing a '#' in front of it; (concerns only these two lines, leave Telecide/Decimate etc as is)
DupMC(log="blah.dup1.txt")
#DeDup(threshold=0.3, maxcopies=10, maxdrops=3, log="blah.dup1.txt", times="blah.times.txt", timesin="timecodes.txt")
blah.dup1.txt in this case will record the differences between all frames
But you don't want to actually encode this pass, so click 'encode analysis pass' in megui
(timesin will import the timecodes file from Decimate, and output a new one, blah.times.txt, to be muxed with the final encode/mkv...)

Now reverse that;
#DupMC(log="blah.dup1.txt")
DeDup(threshold=0.3, maxcopies=10, maxdrops=3, log="blah.dup1.txt", times="blah.times.txt", timesin="timecodes.txt")
...so it looks like the script like in the beginning and open it again in megui (to enable anamorphic encoding remember to adjust the screen in the megui preview window)
and you can finally start the encoding in megui :)

AntiAliasing (http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/AntiAliasing) One of many antialiasing filters, just don't set deblocking too low and you won't need this...
If you're interested, check the internal/external filters section on the Avisynth page, Macademi might perhaps benefit from a slight sharpening...

...I'm pretty sure I've missed some crucial bits of info, but I'll check back tomorrow after work so just send pms if you decide to try this and run into problems...


I realize parts of that don't have anything to do with just VFR, but I'm still learning avisynth, and wasn't sure what to trim out

[Sarreq Teryx]

oh, I almost forgot, I'm also having a problem with DVDs with linear PCM, I get an avisynth message saying "don't know the command 'audio' " I thought that was a bizarre error.

[Blender]

Nurbs,
Thank you for post.I am a command line newb- reason for using ripbot. Appreciate steps on how to test EAC3??

Tsmuxer demuxed fine. But RipBot will not load demuxed VC1 stream.

Running MEGUI on file(Dirty Harry) and working fine too

Odd?

[Hyrax]

Blender -
First thing I'd do is update to the latest release of EAC3to, if you haven't already.


Next, try this:

Open a CMD window (this is basically a DOS window)
Change to the drive and Ripbot directory (mine is C:\temp\RipBot264, so the command is "cd C:\temp\RipBot265"
Change to the Job1 (or Job2 or whatever job is hanging for you) The comamd is "cd job1"
Run the Blu-Ray_ExtractStreams.cmd file in that directory by just typing in "Blu-Ray_ExtractStreams.cmd".

You'll be able to see EAC3to in action and perhaps see where it is getting hung up.

[Blackwalker]

i see that your knowledge about priority in windows is VERY LIMITED. You really don't know how some things work.


nice answer Atak, this really show your "HIGH KNOWLEDGE"!


...anyway, in low priority, i'm testing now, your program say this:

2-pass without low-priority (about 7/8 hours)
2-pass with low-priority (about 11/12 hours)

...at last your program say this!

and the next time dont use CAPS LOCKS!

[jabster]

Hi.

I have the latest ripbot264 and ffdshow (beta6_rev2527_20081219), and ripbot will not detect ffdshow. I can get it to run by disabling the check, but I am wondering why it won't detect it.

The registry settings are there for ffdshow, I've tried unchecking the black list, and checking the whitelist adding ripbot264, but it still won't detect it at startup.

Anyting else I can check?

thanks,
john

i was talking about to add a feature to the program and about using low priority and you write this "nice" phrase, for?

bha....

[solnegro]

*sigh*

As I stated earlier with my problem using Ripbot264, it was going to be something silly.

First, how do I specify the temporary directory used to process? Not seeing where it is configurable. If this is not a current feature, love to see it added.

Ripbot264 appears to be looking for "temp" on the largest available (local?) volume. As such, when I have an external USB drive attached to my host, it is using it instead of my RAID 1 volume. That is a problem in itself.

So what is the problem? The external drive I am using has a sleep mode and other 'features.' None of them seem to be terribly useful. For some unknown reason, I do not pretend to completely grasp the problem, when Ripbot264 is using the external USB drive it halts during demuxing. Disconnect the drive and begin anew, it completes demuxing and creation of mpeg or mkv without further problem.

I am re-encoding my second source that was giving me difficulties, now, without issue thus far.

@Nurbs & Hyrax
Thank you. I have walked away from this with more knowledge about Ripbot264 then I started. Also, if you had not had me hunting for the temporary work directory, I may not identified Ripbot264 was using the external USB drive any time soon.

[laserfan]

*sigh*Have a look at RipBot264's .ini file!

[solnegro]

Sweet! Thank you, Laserfan.

[Blender]

Hyrax,

Thank you for the great tips. It appears Eac3 is hanging with error "Writing the destination file failed""
"Aborted at file position 13731102720"
Screen shot attached.

I have tried on all three drives raid and otherwise, same problem.

I am very frustrated.

Blender

[Blender]

Thank you all.
Problem solved. EAC3 will not write to 4k block size on my 6tb raid 5 volume. Moved temp file to a standard 512byte block size array and all is good. Back to tedious VC1 conversion for ps3.

[rack04]

Now that mkvmerge supports TrueHD will RipBot264 add this audio format as "supported" under the audio drop down?

[NiGHTsC]

ouch, look at all these replies, poor Atak...
all I can say is...calm down and cool down, it helps, sometimes...:P


anyway, I just found something that I called it a "bug"...
Let's say I add 4 videos and have it start encoding and then I abort on 3rd encoding for some reasons
the next time I click Start it would re-encode from the 1st video instead of 3rd one...

Is it normal?

Thanx again.

[kikker]

Atak, Thanks for your work on this project. Would you consider the ability to add in subtitles in the Vobsub (IDX/SUB) format to be merged into the final MKV? MKVMerge GUI can do this now, and it would save a step. Thanks!

[hoju3508]

Anybody running Linux/Wine with RipBot264?

I tried and it failed miserably.

[screaming]

I'm trying to convert a blu-ray rip to mkv and I'm having an issue.

If I select "5.1 Aften AC3" for the output audio then start the job, Ripbot sits there at "Please Wait... Initializing..." and goes no further. I have to abort, and unfortunately this does not create a Ripbot job1_log.txt file.

If I select "xx COPY STREAM xx" (the audio from the Blu-Ray is "DTS Master Audio"), Ripbot finishes within a second, obviously not creating the .mkv file. In the job log, I get this:

Either way, I can't get this rip to encode. I'm using Ripbot 1.13.3 on Windows 2008 x64, ffdshow 2857, Haali Media Splitter 1.9.42.1, and AviSynth 2.5.8. I do have UAC turned off in Windows 2008, and I'm running Ripbot as Administrator.

If I had my choice, I'd rather use Aften 5.1 AC3 for audio, but if anyone can solve either issue I'd be happy.

[Atak_Snajpera]

If I select "5.1 Aften AC3" for the output audio then start the job, Ripbot sits there at "Please Wait... Initializing..." and goes no further.
How long did you wait? This may take couple minutes.

If I select "xx COPY STREAM xx" (the audio from the Blu-Ray is "DTS Master Audio"), Ripbot finishes within a second,
What did you do step by step?

[screaming]

How long did you wait? This may take couple minutes.

I have waited as long as an hour for the encode to start, but it still sits there.


What did you do step by step?

For this particular movie, I chose the DTS master audio track, no subtitles. On the Edit Job screen, I'm choosing video profile 4.0, Copy Stream for audio, CQ 18 for compression, and ENG as the language. I then name the .mkv file, click Done, then hit start at the Jobs screen.

I'm going to try and find another one of my Blu-Ray discs that uses DTS Master audio to see what happens with encoding.

Oh, one last thing...I have checked the ffdshow video decoder configuration several times, and even though I set VC-1 to libavcodec, something keeps setting it back to disabled! I do keep setting it back, but I don't know if this has anything to do with my issues.

For VC-1 FFDSHOW should be configured to wmv9 not libavcodec.

Hi Atak_Snajpera and Hi everybody,
First of all congratulation for this wonderfull tool.
Do You think to build a version that support 64 bit and/or multicore CPU?
it is possible, and how is it, to upgrade all single software of ripbot (i.e. ffdshow, x264, ecc.ecc. )?
Thank You in advance and thank you for your good work.

Now that mkvmerge supports TrueHD will RipBot264 add this audio format as "supported" under the audio drop down?

@Atak - any thoughts on the quote above?

it is possible, and how is it, to upgrade all single software of ripbot (i.e. ffdshow, x264, ecc.ecc. )?
Thank You in advance and thank you for your good work.
regards

[lukappaseidue]

thank You Alfeus for Your reply.
I've seen that x264 is 64bit edition, but I've also seen that there are other software that are required in 32 bit version even if 64 bit is available too.
I.e. ffdshow. The 64 bit version is not detected by ripbot,
It is possible to upgrade any software used by ripbot?
Thank you again
Luca

[prettyboy85712]

You can update the software used by RipBot264, however in many cases the multi-threaded 32bit versions are less problematic and faster.

[kikker]

Atak,

Just a suggestion for implementation: If the user selects Blu-Ray as the output, shouldn't the recommended crop be to Blu-Ray specifications, i.e. 1280x720, etc? Thanks...

I don't think you can run 64 bit code from a 64bit codec in to a 32bit frame server like avisynth then back into a 64bit codec.

Suppose its hard enough to make 32bit avisynth go to 64bit x264. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=144140 Though they managed to do it the speed increasing by only 10% is not enough to influence most developers to give a crap.

:D Look until your willing to build and maintain a working copy of 64bit avisynth and convince a load of other developers to rebuild their projects as 64bit. The whole ordeal would be to bothersome to do at the moment and otherwise a waste of time. It works right now as it sits. Your 64bit system will not suffer at all from running 32bit code.

P.S. the Developer of ripbot has only one project and its entirely contained in Ripbot264.exe and ini...;)

[Balthazar2k4]

I have recently started creating batch queues in RipBot and have run into some rather bizarre behavior. RipBot will not complete all of the projects in the queue. In fact, most of the time it only does every other one. So if I have six projects queued, it will complete three.

What is really strange is that RipBot starts the projects, but stops after the audio encoding process. Unfortunately, I just cleaned out my log files so I can't attach one of the uncompleted projects for perusal. I know there is nothing wrong with the project itself because if I tell RipBot to retry the project it will complete it, but not necessarily when in a batch queue. I will run another batch tonight and attach a log file tomorrow.

I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there is a solution?

Thanks in advance.

[boostedevo]

For VC-1 FFDSHOW should be configured to wmv9 not libavcodec.

Which isn't very apparent. Took me a while to find this information too. Atak should add it to his first page post.

I was also searching for days trying to find why my long and tedious encodes would give me no video on my PS3 with perfectly fine audio. Turned out I had the reference frames up too high. I'm a nub and accidentally had the r-frames set to 5 with my 4.1 avc profile. Ooops, only wasted a few bd-rs before I looked at the log file and saw max supported frames warning LOL.

Great program though Atak, super-simple ui and all the options I need.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Took me a while to find this information too. Atak should add it to his first page post.
I see no reason. Ripbot always disables libavcodec for vc-1. (reason: lack of interlace support)

Turned out I had the reference frames up too high. I'm a nub and accidentally had the r-frames set to 5 with my 4.1 avc profile. Ooops, only wasted a few bd-rs before I looked at the log file and saw max supported frames warning LOL.
and who told you to change anything? Next time use default profile!

Ok. So I ran a batch of 4 items and once again the problem came up with RipBot "skipping" items in queue. I have attached log files showing the project that was not completed during the first pass thru my queue and then completed when I told RipBot to process the queue again.

I have experienced this on both of my Vista x64 systems and simply can't figure out what is causing it. None of my other encoding programs do this....

[turbojet]

Something strange happens with the calculation when adding forced sups, but if the forced sup isn't added last it seems to calculate ok though.

no sups = 4503 kbps
1 sups = 4489 kbps
2 sups = 4479 kbps
3 sups = 4502 kbps (this is a forced sup)

loading forced sup first: 4503 / 4503 / 4475 / 4466

Atak: also I see you've been asking around for 720p sups and this has been possible for a few months with BDSup2Sub. I've used it successfully on about 15 movies so far.

[cypher007]

im using an Intel T7500 laptop running XP 32bit and coreavc pro, which is using the Cuda part of my 8600GT GPU to accelerate decoding of the AVC stream. the trouble is even with all that power if i run say a 15gb mkv through the program to resize it to 7.95gb, it takes forever. im getting maybe 10fps on the first pass and then maybe 3.7fps on the second pass. is this normal?

[Atak_Snajpera]

is this normal?
Yes it is normal because you have sloooooooowwww CPU. Period.

3 sups = 4502 kbps (this is a forced sup)
forced sup??? What does it mean?

Atak: also I see you've been asking around for 720p sups and this has been possible for a few months with BDSup2Sub. I've used it successfully on about 15 movies so far.
This tool requires java. I need plain .exe command line app.

[buzzqw]

even jar can be used in command line

java -jar file.jar

BUT application need a command line interface ;)

BHH

[Balthazar2k4]

Anybody running an i7 920? How many FPS on 2-Pass with default settings? What other hardware are you using?

Currently I have a Q6700 at 3.33GHz and get about 9-10 FPS on second pass. If the i7s make a big difference there, I might take the plunge.

I am running an i7 920 @ 4ghz and seeing 1st passes upwards of 65fps on 1280 material. Second pass typically lands around 35fps. This is using the stock 4.0 profile.

[turbojet]

forced sup??? What does it mean?

Subs that only have english subtitles for non-english parts for instance.


This tool requires java. I need plain .exe command line app.

While it does require java runtime, I don't think is any bigger requirement then ffdshow and it's used many places on the web so for most I think it's a general app to install.

It does have a command line interface for example to resize all sups in D:\video to 720p you could use
java -jar bdsup2sub.jar D:\video\*.sup *-720.sup /res 720

Java is added to windows system path so it doesn't need to be pointed to in most situations but in some you might need to be able to find javaw.exe and use the full path before -jar

[screaming]

So I've finally figured out the odd issues where the encoding never starts, or when ripbot says an encode is completed within a second. For some reason, ripbot is not updating the job1.avs file within temp. When I'm initially on the "New Job" section, no matter what I do when I hit the Done button the job1.avs does not have the #Audiosource or #Audiodub sections populated.

However, if I click on the arrow next the Audio source, select none, then re-select the Audio source, I notice that ffdshow pops up in my tray. Immediately after, the job1.avs file does have the audio sections populated. I can then carry on with making all my audio, subtitle, and video quality settings, then select Done. So far I've been able to encode 2 movies successfully.

Does anyone know why job1.avs isn't being populated until I mess with those audio options?

[kikker]

Atak, would you consider adding the option of muxing external Vobsubs (*.sub/*.idx) in addition to the other sub formats you already have? Thanks...

Second question: Is there any theoretical difference in encode quality between A.) Auto crop and resize to HD-ready res (720p) by adding borders OR B.) No crop, just resize downward to HD-ready res (720p).

[Sarreq Teryx]

would it be possible to add variable framerate to ripbot's options? I have a guide (for megui) from someone helping me out with a particular encode if it would help



I realize parts of that don't have anything to do with just VFR, but I'm still learning avisynth, and wasn't sure what to trim out
yesh/nerp? I ask only because of the bandwidth savings in still scenes and animation.

[Atak_Snajpera]

yesh/nerp? I ask only because of the bandwidth savings in still scenes and animation.
x264 encoder is very smart and do not waste bits on static scenes.

That is incredible. I get about 30fps on 1st pass with 720p material...I don't know if I recall the 2nd pass numbers, maybe 12-15?

I am building an i7 test box at my work, and I just wish it had a BD drive so I could run my conversions overnight there lol If it's really that fast, I might have to go ahead with mine. I already have the CPU since I got the 920 for $200 from MicroCenter a couple of weeks ago :)

[stinman]

You can update the software used by RipBot264, however in many cases the multi-threaded 32bit versions are less problematic and faster.

Where do I find this 32 bit multi-threaded version of RipBot264?Does this mean it will work better with the quad core processors?I have a 9600 phenom 2.3ghz quad core and Vista Home premium,service pack 1.Thanks

[grondinm]

first i must say great app it worked great for the first movie i did(The new rambo) but now i'm trying to do sin city and it is acting odd. i can select the m2ts file and select the vid and audio streams and it does the demuxing but then it opens up media player classic and says "cannot decod stream"(or something to that effect. i'm not sure if it something i messed up(i don't think it is) but i can't get it to work at all. i have tried re-downloading and extracting ripbot but the same thing happened. i am trying it again now but have moved mpc out of the tools folder just to see what it would do i'm expecting a diff error. any help would be appriciated.

in case it makes a difference i'm using alcohol 120% to mount an image created with my ps3 and have any dvd hd to do the decrypt.

Also i was able to play the file that ripbot creates in the temp folder using VLC. and VLC can play the movie right from the bd image.

Install Windows Media Player 11. I suspect that you don't have VC-1 decoder installed!

[howzz]

Hi Atak,

First of all, i've been using your program for aboub past year or so. Great job man! There's nothing else out there like it.

I was wondering, is there any plans in the near future to
1. Integrate the ripping and exact stream copying of eac3 or trueHD, and DtsHD stream. ( i plan on converting all my hd-dvds to mkv while keepin the losless stream)

2. Implement the capability of the GPU rendering power.

Again thanks for the great software, and i hope you keep on improving it and make it better.
Long live RipBot :)

[SeeChestlickRun]

I have this strange case.

I was encoding a TV show DVD, DHW season 4 for my girlfriend for XBMC.

Anyway, I locked the size to 350mb (2 pass) to save up space...

I was using my own profile, and set the Audio at 2.0 OGG Vorbis which is around at 128 kbps [q 4] and did 6 shows. They all came out to be exactly 340 mb!! What happened to last 10 mb??

My guess is because the resolution is not divisible by 16... I am resizing them at 704x396.

Should I post log.txt?

[grondinm]

thanx for quick reply Atak. i should have also mentioned i'm runing windows vista ultimate 64-bit(but i still checked version of WMP it is 11)

and having moved the wmpc folder out of tools did not result in any error but it still did not allow me to continue with encoding.

NO. The problem is with audio. OGG uses VBR so final bitrate and size cannot be predicted in 100%. That's why you have ~128kbps in profile instead of 128kbps

thanx for quick reply Atak. i should have also mentioned i'm runing windows vista ultimate 64-bit(but i still checked version of WMP it is 11)

ok so i got ffdshow 2895 installed trying it again now...might as well mention this now(was going to be my next thing) but it takes like 30min to demux and 12h(for rambo) to encode is this normal(not that i mind that much as long as it works) my pc is not that old core 2 duo 2.6 4gb of ram. is it because the files are stored on usb drive? update again in 30min when demux is done thanx for the help and the app again

well that seems to have worked starting encoding now thanx again Atak any idea why the ver of ffdshow i had did not work? i had 2880 before.

Is it better to use ffdshow 2895 over 2633MT?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Yes! Because MT version was merged with normal ffdshow long time ago. Instead of libavcodec select ffmpeg-mt

http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/2932/new2cjf.png

but it takes like 30min to demux and 12h(for rambo) to encode is this normal(not that i mind that much as long as it works) my pc is not that old core 2 duo 2.6 4gb of ram
yes it is normal. These days dual core@2.6 is rather low end for video encoding. Mid would be my q6600@3ghz. High end will be ofcource core i7 :)

[prettyboy85712]

Great. Thanks!!!

[screaming]

I know people talk about getting the best encoding speeds for Ripbot, so I thought I'd share this with you. This is Ripbot264 running on a 24-core system. It's not my system, but I have access to it :)

So you're able to encode a 1080p 2-hour movie in less than 3 hours? If I can get this to encode faster, please let me know what I can do.

[Atak_Snajpera]

@sreaming
What a beast! Could you tell us what kind of cpu/system is that. Ghz?

That's about what I get I get on my quad core.
I don't think so! I have q6600@3ghz and i get about 6-7 fps for full 1920x1080 (no black borders)

[screaming]

@sreaming
What a beast! Could you tell us what kind of cpu/system is that. Ghz?

It's actually a server with 4 x Intel Xeon E7450 CPUs...which are 6-core 2.4GHz CPUs. So that's a total of 24 CPU cores running at 2.4GHz with NO Hyperthreading (since that CPU doesn't support hyperthreading).

I probably should have explained what I was encoding and the settings in order to quantify speed: I took my Blu-Ray copy of Akira and was encoding it at the same 1080p resolution to mkv, using CQ 18 for the compression, and stream copy from the original TrueHD Japanese audio track. Oh, and I also threw in an .srt subtitle file in English. Encoding took just about 3 hours.

[Atak_Snajpera]

How many TB does it have ? 32 :)

[wakebrder]

I don't think so! I have q6600@3ghz and i get about 6-7 fps for full 1920x1080 (no black borders)

[wakebrder]

That's awesome, but with what encoding settings, and how long does it take?

I generally don't do full 23 GB encodes.

My 1080p > DVD9 (1080p) encodes usually complete overnight. (7-10 hrs)

I'm thinking your rig could probably keep up that 19 fps rate on high kps encodes, and really kick ass on normal dvd9 / dvd5 encodes.

I might have jumped the gun a little.:p

[spida_singh]

@screaming - I assume this is a CQ encode, if so, that is a gret speed, but, if it is a 2 pass encode, depending on settings, this is preety slow, again, depending on profile/quality setting used, I can max out at 27fps on a 2pass encode, only for the 1st pass, 2nd pass always hovers around the 6-7 marks. Anyhow, if CQ with high settings, thats an excellent speed!

Im so tempted to get a Core i7 920 (2.66GHZ), i have heard this can get up 2 4ghz stable on air!!! With the right board.

[lldaedalusll]

Hi

asked this question already at forum.videohelp.com, but I do not expect that much users to recently check both threads.

I am new to RipBot and I am trying to convert some blu rays to mp4. My current Blu Ray is one with 23,976 FPS and I want to speed it up to 24 FPS for perfect playback on my LCD. Doing this with ripbot causes the avisynth script to add the following


#Tempo
video=AssumeFPS(video,24)
audio=TimeStretch(audio,tempo=24/23,976*100)


but the audio line causes problems in the first conversion step, the audio conversion. This is the error I get when manually executing job1_EncodeAudio.cmd:


Scanning for Audio Stream...
ERROR: Can't find audio stream!
Input file must be WAV PCM!


What is wrong? Removing the audio line in the first quote removes the error, but then I do not get the speedup.

RipBot 1.13.3
AviSynth 2.58
Haali Media Splitter 1.9.42.1

[Atak_Snajpera]

I guess I didn't notice the kbps, but I'm still getting 14.87 fps @ 22161 kbps on a Q6600 @ 2.4 Ghz.
Remember encoding speed is not constant! If your movie has alot of movement and details encoding is always slower. Anime with huge amount of static scenes is encoded faster. x264 encoder does not have to pay too much attention to static areas. I was testing with dynamic movie at full 1920x1080 resolution (16:9). Movie with 2.40:1 aspect ratio will be encoded faster due to black borders (no movement, no texture)

[topsham]

Can someone please explain to me how I work out what settings I need to get a movie to fill a 16:9 tv screen? Most of the ones I convert are much wider than that and I end up with black borders so I use the zoom settings on my tv to fill the screen.

[Atak_Snajpera]

My current Blu Ray is one with 23,976 FPS and I want to speed it up to 24 FPS for perfect playback on my LCD.
You don't have to change framerate! 23.976 is ok.

@topsham
Here is example what you should do if your movie has 2.40:1 aspect ratio. For 2:35:1 and 1:85:1 you have to do calculations yourself.
http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/831/frameu.th.png (http://img7.imageshack.us/my.php?image=frameu.png)

As you can see you will always loose some parts of the frame.

[lldaedalusll]

You don't have to change framerate! 23.976 is ok.


You point to something I thought about. The 24p mode of LCDs or plasmas is real 24fps, or real 23,976 fps?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Since all blu-ray movies are encoded as 23.976 and not 24p so I think that TVs must stick to that rule as well. 24p is used as shortcut as well as 60p,30p (real framerate is 59.94,29.97)

[howzz]

i am getting very stable constant results of 26fps for 1st pass and 10.6fps for the 2nd pass for 1920X1080P blu-ray action movies encoded in 8MBps setting with profile 4.0. and Xstream copy MKV. this is on my watercooled Q6600 @ 3.7Ghz.

i've never tried CQ, but if that 24core system encodes 2 pass only with that speed, i have to say it's quite disappointing.

[Balthazar2k4]

Has anyone tried using RipBot264 with VC-1 material on Windows 7 x64? I have been successful with H264 and MPEG-2, but with VC-1 RipBot hangs after the demux of the m2ts file. Is there a workaround for this as I would really like to continue using Win7?

Thanks in advance.

As I mentioned in my previous post, that encoding was CQ, NOT 2-pass. I am personally concerned with quality more than the size of the output file.

Secondly, I'm not sure why users speak more about fps processing than the time it take to encode. I just want the encode to finish as quickly as possible.

[glowball]

Probably because the more frames per second you can encode... the faster the job will complete?

Secondly, I'm not sure why users speak more about fps processing than the time it take to encode. I just want the encode to finish as quickly as possible.

that's because you can have a 3 hour long movie that'll take twice as long to encode than a hour and half long movie. therefore how long it takes to encode the movie can be heavily dependent on the length of the film.

a more accurate calculation, or estimate if you will, would be to compare by fps. just like how you would compare how fast two cars travel, in speed mph/kph.

i guess so many users are referring to 2 pass is because most of us here use it. so a more accurate comparison would for the 24 core system to test in 2 pass condition, then perhaps we can all go "wow" (slow/fast).

[dbone1026]

Not sure if this has been done yet, but thought this would be good. If you are using RipBot264, what settings are you using? For me I have been using ripbot264 as follows:

Blu Ray/HD DVD
Profile: 4.0
AutoCrop
1920 x 1080
2-Pass
8150MB
MKV
Original Audio
Takes about 12-15 hours to encode using a Quad Core 6600
(I wrote a quick Wiki on another site regarding Ripbot264 - http://www.mediasmartserver.net/wiki/index.php/RipBot264)

Standard DVDs
Right now I have all my standard dvds in their native structure (Video_TS) but think that the next step will be to use Ripbot to convert those as well to mkvs, not sure if I would use the same settings as for Blu Ray (sans the 1920x1080).

[lldaedalusll]

For me (with blu rays) autocrop does not work. Even though there is a 124 pixel black area at top and bottom (in detail this is even more, but twice 124 maintains height mod 16 = 0) over the full movie in the first bluray I ripped, I got a 1080 height video as output (including black borders). It turned out that I had to manually figure out how much to crop without losses.

Anything else looks fine.

Since all blu-ray movies are encoded as 23.976 and not 24p so I think that TVs must stick to that rule as well. 24p is used as shortcut as well as 60p,30p (real framerate is 59.94,29.97)

Ok, I did it with 23,976 fps and the media portal output is perfectly smooth on my LCD while having selected 24hz as the display refresh rate.

Anyways, you did great job with ripbot, but I would wish that one could integrate several audio streams into the result file with ripbot itself. Up to now I did go the manual way for this.

Anyone had problems with Blood Diamond? I have transcoded it three times and at 42 minutes and some seconds it turns into colored snow . I tried trancoding other discs to make sure not a hardware or software issue and all wok fine. Is there some copy/transcode protection I am running in to?

Atak,
I'm very pleased to see that Ripbot and all the associated modules work perfectly under Windows 7 64 bit RC1. I had some concerns but so far I've converted 2 Blu-Ray movies to AVCHD (1080p) using Windows 7 without issue. Thanks again for all of your hard work and a terrific product. It is greatly appreciated by the vast majority of us.

Has anyone tried using RipBot264 with VC-1 material on Windows 7 x64? I have been successful with H264 and MPEG-2, but with VC-1 RipBot hangs after the demux of the m2ts file. Is there a workaround for this as I would really like to continue using Win7?

Thanks in advance.
Balthazar2k4,

In response to your question I've not had any issues at all using Ripbot with Windows 7 64 bit RC1. I've ripped 2 movies thus far with this configuration, one was an h.264 and the other VC-1. No issues with either. My system is a home built Q6600 with 4 gigs RAM. I hope this answers your question. Now...with that said I HAVE occasionally had similar problems under Vista especially when the source Blu-Ray contains interlaced video. These are usually Blu-Rays from DiscoveryHD or National Geographic HD. In these cases the work around has been to manually use TS Muxer to save just the streams I want (creating an M2TS file) and then loading that file into Nero Vision (included with Nero 9) to create the AVCHD. Nero Vision packaged with Nero 8 didn't do very well. The new version is much better and handles interlaced sources easily.

Well, I am at a loss. I have tried three different builds of 7 x64 (fresh installs including build 7100) and none of them will properly load ffdshow after the demux. H264 and MPEG-2 work fine, but VC-1 refuses to play nice. What could I be missing? I have RipBot264 setup exactly the same way as I do under Vista x64 (which works perfectly) and it just does not work. Did you do anything special?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

[illestdomer2005]

Anybody having trouble with the Sin City blu-ray? The movie is getting chopped up into sections that repeat the credits and are out of order. It seems like RipBot isn't processing them correctly.

CORRECTION: Disc 2 of the new BD is a "recut" version that is intentionally chopped up. Apologies.

[Blender]

That's a VC-1 and so likely you're having decoding problems. Do you have WMP11 installed...

Yes I have WMP 11 installed . I have same problem with transcoded file with VLC and Powere dvd 9 hd as well. All turn to snow.

I had some issues initially setting up RipBot on Windows 7, and I wish I could remember how I fixed them. Basically, RipBot wasn't properly seeing ffdshow, Haali Media Splitter, or both.

In any event, I am running a dual boot Vista x86 and 7 x64, and I've only used 7 a couple of times...mostly because I already have so much already set up on Vista.

The good news is that I think the problem is solvable as long as you don't give up :)

I believe you would be correct about RipBot not seeing FFDshow correctly. Nothing in Win7 sees FFDshow. I have tried MPC Home Cinema, MeGUI, and HDConverToX. They all exhibit the same problem. What I can't seem to figure out is how others have managed to get it to work and I have spent days researching the problem and can't solve it. Kind of depressing really....

isn't a issue of gui, but avisynth directshowsource's not able to "dialogate" with ffdshow on win7

maybe better to wait for ffdshow compatibility with win7

[TRONDROM]

A noob question: I have an HDTV 720p mkv of Armageddon that I would like to make into a BD9, the problem is it's 25 frames per second and my Sony BD9-S300 only plays NTSC 24 fps.........if I change the frame rate to 24 with the Ripbot feature, will it change the audio, too, to match the video? Or would I have to use another program to change the frame rate of the audio and then mux that with the changed 24 fps of the video? Not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[prettyboy85712]

Why don't you try it and find out?

[TRONDROM]

prettyboy85712, thanks for the great advice, but I'm looking to save 10 hours of encoding time. I don't want to encode it for 10 hours for it not to work. That's why I'm trying to do a little research and be smart and ask someone with more experience than myself. I'll tell you a story, man. Okay? A wise man asks for help when he doesn't know something, a dumb-ass does things on his own and tries to learn by himself. I'm a wise-man. Peace.

[prettyboy85712]

A wise-man wouldn't encode the entire file. He would clip a small section. Peace

No...nothing special except I did the "upgrade" from Vista 64 to W7 64 bit build 7100. I was VERY careful to keep my 64 bit Vista clean (without extra codecs). Beyond that I simply don't know unless some other program or driver is causing the issue. I have a rather old Radeon X1800 video card. Perhaps I have a slightly different version of ffdshow as there seems to be several to chose from...I dunno.

[SurroundBoy]

Just got me a Dell XPS 435MT with Core i7 920 processor, Vista 64 Home Premium. First off, when I try to do Level 3.0 ipod encoding, the "initializing" stage lasts a good 3 minutes. Then when it comes time to encode, I get only audio and no video, what's my issue here?

[glowball]

Using the latest version of Ripbot it is reporting the video length as different from the audio by quite a bit, ie. my current job has video 1:43 and audio 1:48 but the preview shows lip-synch to be OK so I will proceed with the encode.

Is there any help or a guide anywhere that explains what to do when an encode goes wrong and lip-synch becomes a problem?
I had a HD-DVD which I re-encoded to Blu-Ray which over it's length the audio was like 10 minutes out!

Great program, thanks.

[TRONDROM]

No, it didn't work. I had to use BeLight to encode the audio to 24 fps.......thanks for the excellent advice prettyboy......it's people like you this forum that make me coming back for more great advice......

That's merely a distinction without a difference... In any event, there are issues with ffdshow appearing for RipBot.

I would also like to request some kind of status update. Not that it matters much, just wondering when we might get a new version. I would like to use a newer version of x264 and ffmpeg but noticed ripbot uses some kind of custom version of x264.

Are you sure, when I updated to a newer version of x264, it complained about some command line argument not being understood. From some quick google searching, it seems that this command line flag isn't in the main x264 codeline and was applied as a patch...

Thanks, I will have to check that out.

Does anyone know what other tools I would need to update?

Right now I convert Blueray rips to mkv, stream copy the sound with high profile.

I updated ffdshow, tsmuxer, and then I will update x264.

Is there any way to use multiple subtitles with RipBot?
For ex. i want to burn some signs to video and beside this, want to use 4, 5 different languages.
4 is .ASS, 1 is . SRT...

Is this possible?

[FS]

^ When you click on subtitles, simply keep clicking on (+) to add more subtitles. I have tried it for up to 3(.srt subs), so I know it definitely supports at most 3 subs.

Does anyone know if it's possible to load RMVB into Ripbot?
I've tried to creat an AVS first but it seems Ripbot can't read it properly, 1 hour RMVB video turn into 10secs only.


Thank you.

[ibabob]

I encoded a blu-ray that had a vc-1 video track to avc with ripbot264 using the PS3 profile. The file plays fine either streaming with MediaTomb or directly from the PS3's hard drive, but I can't seek the file ! (fast forward, Go To, using the scenes menu with square...)

The only thing I changed in the settings of RipBot264 is the Profile from 4.0 to 4.1 because I wanted to use bitrates higher than 25 mbps. I outputted the file to MKV container than converted with GOTSent.

Anybody knows if I should change something in RipBot264 to be able to seek the file ? The quality is great, the audio is in sink, I juste want to be able to seek :( Would outputting to Blu-ray disk change anything ?

It is a bug that has affected every version of ripbot. It is the way the video is encoded. I used BD Rebuilder instead and FF/RW and chapters works.

[brenboy]

Has anyone seen an issue where Ripbot hardcodes subtitles into the picture even though under Properties -> Subtitles the setting is 'Do not use subtitles'??

This seemed to happen after I had to remove Media Player Classic from my system because it kept generating Windows Exception Breakpoint errors when I ran it or started to reencode a file with Ripbot.

[Hobbit112]

First off, many thanks Atak for this great gui!

I know this was asked before but I never found an answer:

Is there anyway to select and include multiple audio tracks within RipBot264? I would love to be able to include the 2 channel stereo audio in situations where no ability to decode the multi-channel DTS track is available.

[ibabob]

It is a bug that has affected every version of ripbot. It is the way the video is encoded. I used BD Rebuilder instead and FF/RW and chapters works.

Thanks for the suggestion, I had never heard of BD Rebuilder !

[brenboy]

The hardcoded subtitle issue was caused by ffdshow having the Subtitles checkbox was enabled. Unticked it and subtitles are no longer hardcoded into the video stream.

[wolfbane5]

So I've been using RipBot264 for a fairly long time now (currently using 1.13.3) and have never really had any issues until now. I was trying to create 720p rips of the firefly bluray i have. I ripped the vid/aud using eac3to + tsmuxer like I always do. However when I encoded one of the episodes, I found that the audio kept going further and further out of sync as the episode progressed. I thought something weird happened with that particular episode so I did another episode and the same thing happened again. Someone know how I can fix this?

[Alfeuss]

Check your FPS. The audio might be playing at a diff frame rate than the video. I have had this happen b4. It may or maynot be the same as your prob. I fixed by remuxing with the correct fps settings. No reencode needed. Hope this helps.

[Balthazar2k4]

No...nothing special except I did the "upgrade" from Vista 64 to W7 64 bit build 7100. I was VERY careful to keep my 64 bit Vista clean (without extra codecs).

Well, based on a hunch I tried something new to solve my VC-1 problem and it actually worked. It seems that RipBot is struggling with the m2ts to mkv video demux. So I demuxed the m2ts with tsremux and then used mkvmerge to create my own mkv. Open RipBot and voila.... it worked. I am encoding this morning. I wish I could figure out why RipBot is unable to properly handle this on Win7 as the new "method" does add some steps (read: time) to the process. Anyways, thanks to everyone who gave assistance and I hope the above helps anyone experiencing the same problem....

The problem doesn't affect all players. I have a Samsung BD player and FF/RW and skipping works fine. The same disc in my Sony BD player doesn't.

[grondinm]

hey guys back again with another issue. i can't seem to get the files i convert with ripbot to play on my psp. it has the latest firmware installed and i did choose the sd,psp profile. but it will not play them. what i did was i took the blu-ray and converted it to a mp4 using the HD profile. then converted that mp4 using the SD profile. could this be the problem? what can i try.

i think i fixed it will update after it's done encoding this time

[wolfbane5]

I was looking through the High 4.0 Profile settings and I was wondering what AVCHD Compatibility (--aud --nal-hrd in x264) does, as well as, --filter 0,0? I've been trying to find the x264 command list, but have been unsuccessful thus far.

And if i open the ".m2ts" file with mediaplayer classic i see the video and audio perfectly....!!!

somene can help me? plz! :(
thx! :)



Updated:

if i dont use the default "subtitle" (no subtitles), it work...!?!?!?!?!
any suggestion?

Yes, to multiple subtitle tracks. No, to multiple audio tracks.

Then can someone teach me how to add multiple ".ASS" subtitles to a video with RipBot please?

[wolfbane5]

I was looking at the settings of the profile I created --bitrate x --sar 1:1 --level 4.1 --aud --nal-hrd --vbv-bufsize 25000 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --filter 0,0 --ref 5 --mixed-refs --bframes 3 --b-adapt 1 --weightb --direct auto --subme 7 --trellis 1 --partitions all --8x8dct --me umh --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim
and I was curious whether ripbot264 uses the exact profile for pass 1 and 2. I looked at a logfile and noticed that it sort of did and didn't.

pass1: --pass 1 --bitrate 5583 --sar 1:1 --level 4.1 --aud --nal-hrd --vbv-bufsize 25000 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --filter 0,0 --ref 5 --mixed-refs --bframes 3 --b-adapt 1 --weightb --direct auto --subme 7 --trellis 1 --partitions all --8x8dct --me umh --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --partitions none --subme 3 --me dia
I noticed here that i already have --me umh --partitions all -subme7 and that --partitions none --subme 3 --me dia have been tacked on the end of pass 1. I'm assuming that the 3 tacked on the end overwrite the equivalent 3 previously and speed up pass1? Could someone clarify this for me?

pass2: exactly what the profile I created was.

[Blackwalker]

someone have a idea why with subtitles dont work and without subtitles yes?
(read my previous post)
thx! :)

[darthk]

is it somehow possible to integrate the newest x264 codecs?

so far, so good. a great program.

thanks

hi!
used ripbot and never had a problem!
Today i used it with "Daredevil" movie, but i'm not able to make it work...i select the ".m2ts" file, wait the process until 100%,
and before i can set any option to start the encoding, i got this error:
http://utenti.lycos.it/BlackWalker/Image1.jpg

here is the log: http://utenti.lycos.it/BlackWalker/log.rar

AviSynth_208.exe
Haali media splitter (MatroskaSplitter.exe) last version
ffdshow_rev2936_20090503_xxl.exe (tryed also with the last ffdshow MT version

the strange thing is that, after i close the error window, mplayer loop without showing something.... But if i open the ".mkv" file i can see it perfectly!
And if i open the ".m2ts" file with mediaplayer classic i see the video and audio perfectly....!!!

somene can help me? plz! :(
thx! :)



Updated:

if i dont use the default "subtitle" (no subtitles), it work...!?!?!?!?!
any suggestion?
thx!




Why are you using avisynth Version that old....
[AviSynth 2.0.8 March 12, 2003]

This could and probably does explain your issues. Use this version of Avisynth v2.5.8 (http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=57023&filename=Avisynth_258.exe&a=30951898)

[Ajax_Undone]

First off, many thanks Atak for this great gui!

I know this was asked before but I never found an answer:

Is there anyway to select and include multiple audio tracks within RipBot264? I would love to be able to include the 2 channel stereo audio in situations where no ability to decode the multi-channel DTS track is available.

No if you want to include multiple audio tracks you need to learn how to use mkvtoolnix.

[Ajax_Undone]

I was looking through the High 4.0 Profile settings and I was wondering what AVCHD Compatibility (--aud --nal-hrd in x264) does, as well as, --filter 0,0? I've been trying to find the x264 command list, but have been unsuccessful thus far.

Use the patched builds at the top of the page...

Open ripbot264/tools/x264 and over right both files with the newer files. x64 to the x64 and x86 with x86...

~DarC

[darthk]

ah, i tried the non-patched ones from the x264 homepage and what happened? ripbot264 -> stuck...after six hours of encoding.
that really made me happy.

anyway, thanks.

[laserfan]

I noticed here that i already have --me umh --partitions all -subme7 and that --partitions none --subme 3 --me dia have been tacked on the end of pass 1. I'm assuming that the 3 tacked on the end overwrite the equivalent 3 previously and speed up pass1?Yes. Atak himself said he was "lazy" and just added the options, which indeed overwrite the earlier instances i.e. the last option given is the one x264 uses.

[wolfbane5]

http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings

I found this earlier today and it explained the filter 0,0 and aud. However, I'm still unclear exactly what AVCHD Compatibility is and why its checked off in the High 4.0 Default Profile. I tried googling it, but I couldn't find any decent explanations of it. :confused:

[duramaximus]

I have been using RipBot for a while now and love it. I have been converting all my blurays to BD9 keeping 1 audio track and 1 subtitle track. I have been using txMuxer to mux the original Bluray subtitle to the x264 file.

My next project is to start making MKV files to test in Windows 7. I would like to keep the main movie, 1 audio file and 1 subtitle file.

I noticed that Ripbot makes a subtitle file in the temp directory after the job is complete. How do I add that subtitle file to my MKV?

Thanks,

Duramaximus

AVC Stands for Advanced Video Codec. So I think that the HD at the end stands for High Def. If so then it is for HD devices to be able to read the AVC Stream. Hope that helps.

i really dont understand why if i use subtitles i got error...damn!!!!!!!!

hm...my prob still exists.
ripbot does not run with newer x264 codecs. even not with the patched ones.
so here is my question again:
is it somehow possible to use always the newest x264 (64bit) releases?

Don't mean to beat a dead horse here, but this question as been asked by several members without a response.

Has development of Ripbot come to a halt?

I'm on vacations in Poland till 19th and I have no access to my sources. Also last week I had laser eye correction so I'm not allowed to sit in front of monitor for long time. Good news is that 1.14 is almost finished. I will release new version once I come back to Ireland.

[jamd1]

Atak - hope all's well - Ripbot has been working well lately. Just come accross an flv that won't convert. It is a fan made free movie : The Hunt for Gollum . Very good ratings and here is a link to a 1280x720 flv(288mb) : http://proxy-69.dailymotion.com/18/1280x720/on2/15302574.on2?dbd721b5d2dc3add960f6202a597a5cb13bca5c.
Using Internet download manager the stream is captured easily. When adding to Ripbot the audio demuxes ok then there is an AVS error and program aborts. I have tried many .flv movies before on ripbot with no problem. If you get time to look at this much appreciated.

[glowball]

Speedy recovery, looking forward to the next release. Can you give us an insight into what the changes will be, thanks.

Quick question on temp files if I may.

Is there any way to keep the 'video.264' temp file in the '\temp\ripbot264\jobX' folder as opposed to the '\temp\ripbot' folder ?

With multiple jobs, this file gets overwritten and I'd like to keep it for re-muxing with subs, extra audio tracks etc.

I've had a look in the main .ini file and yes I can change the path for the files, but video.264 always seem to be created outside the job areas ?

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance.

[turbojet]

muxing .264 with tsmuxer produces buggy output on some players like MPC-HC and TMT 2

[Ga1j1n]

@Atak

Does RipBot work for VC1 to h264 transcodes on your Win7 7100 RC1 build?

I'm having trouble with these on a fresh 64 bit version of Win7 RC1 although h264 re-encodes work fine, no log as it doesn't get past mediaplayer classic popping up.

I think it has something to do with the new embedded codecs not playing nice with FFDShow.

Did you do anything in particular to get VC1 to work?
(I have changed FFDshow decoder properties to both WMV9 & libavcodec with no success)

Only 32bit versions of avisynth, FFDshow & Haali installed at the moment as 64bit tried also

Any suggestions welcome...

I encoded this file with Ripbot to a 2Gb h264 MP4 on WinXP SP3 just a few days before the reinstall to Win7 on the exact same rig, here's hoping it's an easy fix...

[gav1577]

I was just about to ask the same question. I too am having problems opening vc1 files in ripbot and megui. so i dont think the problem is down to ripbot both gui are affected.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I found temporary solution for vc-1 sources.

1) change permission in
(32bit) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectShow\Preferred or in
(64bit) HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\DirectShow\Preferred
(Guide: http://www.hack7mc.com/2009/04/replacing-the-default-dtvdvd-decoder-without-breaking-live-tv-playback.html )

2) delete whole \Preffered folder (Don't forget to create backup before deleting)

3) change VC-1 decoder to wmv9 (FFDShow Video Decoder Configuration)

[gav1577]

Thanks for the work around Atak
Edit: Tried and tested works fine :)

[Ga1j1n]

That works a treat, thanks Atak most appreciated.

Is this a fix you can incorporate into the next version of Ripbot or even add into the install notes?

I guess a change needs to be made at the install point of FFDshow really, are the developers aware of this potential stumbling block?

:thanks:

i have a question about ripping a blu-ray with subtitles. How do i do it?

i noticed that when i select the subtitle in the feature/chapter/audio selection menu it doesn't actually rip the subtitle into the ripbot temp folder. and i tried look for the subtitle manually by clicking on subtitle browser and going into the ripbot temp folder but it's empty.

i have a couple foreign language blu-rays that i would like to try making into mkv.

I too would like to know how people are achieving this. I know ripbot will produce a subtitle "After" it is complete. Is there a way to pick it "Before" it completes? Kind of a one click solution? I am converting many blurays to BD9 and am trying to make the process as easy as possible.

Right now, this is the process I use.

1. Demux main movie, english audio (AC3 640k) and english subtitle (tsMuxeR)
2. Convert main movie + english audio to BD9 (Ripbot264 2 pass lock size to 8000mb)
3. Mux ripbot file (main movie + english audio) and demuxed english subtitle to Blu-ray Disk (tsMuxer)

Thanks,

Ripbot264 uses eac3to under the hood to extract the sup to the job[n] directory for you. You need to select it before starting your encode.

i did select it at the screen... but nothing is loaded after it demuxes it. here's what i usually do.

1. rip the content with ANYDVD to a folder.

2. open ripbot and click on browse for file. and i select the main feature inside the BDSTREAM folder.

3. a small window pops up asking which video stream you would want.. and it gives you the times of all the video streams it detects. select the main stream, and audio stream. and at the very bottom, there is a subtitle selection drop down menu. i select english.

4. Ripbot demuxes the video and audio streams (takes a while), and then it gives you the option to save the file, or convert the audio stream to AC3 or whatever.... and at the very bottom right hand corner of the menu, there is the subtitle menu (to the right of the destination save box). i click on the subtitle... it's empty.

so what am i missing,

do i need to use TSmuxer or what? i thought Ripbot is suppose to make our lives easier by streamlining the process into one without using Tsmuxer for this and some other XYZ program for that.

hi!
i'm trying now to decode some HD-DVD.
I create a blu-ray disc and all its ok, but size is larger, so i need to use RipBot.

I got and error when i import a .m2ts or .mkv file, maybe because it have a "VC-1" video codec?
If yes, how i can convert a "VC-1" codec to "H.264"??? or RipBot can handle "VC-1" codec?

After the ripping stage of eac3to you will find a .sup file in the relevant temp folder, you need to convert this to an SRT file with SupRip http://exar.ch/suprip/ and save it back to the same folder.

Then you will be able to select a subtite stream on the encoding panel.

:D

Just select the .sup file - no need to covert to srt. RipBot264 will use it (the size of the subtitles may be too large if you are changing from 1080 to 720)

Hi, installed Ripbot and the demanded ffdshow codec. Haali was installed already. If I open a M2TS Source, Media Player Classic opens... and shuts down a second later. After that, the "Video " List is empty.

I know, this is probably not an ripbot issue, but maybe someone can help ?

[duramaximus]

Just select the .sup file - no need to covert to srt. RipBot264 will use it (the size of the subtitles may be too large if you are changing from 1080 to 720)

I cannot select the .sup file. It wont let me. I see its there but when I click on the lower right subtitle button and then try to add it its blank.

[hoju3508]

4. Ripbot demuxes the video and audio streams (takes a while), and then it gives you the option to save the file, or convert the audio stream to AC3 or whatever.... and at the very bottom right hand corner of the menu, there is the subtitle menu (to the right of the destination save box). i click on the subtitle... it's empty.

so what am i missing,



You probably got a window like this when you clicked on the subtitle button. Look for the "+" in the upper left hand corner to add subtitle. There's also a "-" to remove a subtitle.

http://i473.photobucket.com/albums/rr98/hoju3508/sup/sub.jpg

Ripbot supports sup so that you don't have to convert to an .srt file.

You probably got a window like this when you clicked on the subtitle button. Look for the "+" in the upper left hand corner to add subtitle. There's also a "-" to remove a subtitle.

This is the same procedure I try every time. When I click on the + sign the directory is empty. It cannot find the .sup file in the temp directory. When I use windows explorer to navigate to the directory I can see it but for some reason, ripbot cannot.

[hoju3508]

That's odd. When you clicked on the "+" sign, are you sure that the path is the same as the one in Windows Explorer?

100% sure. I know it sounds weird but that is what I have been dealing with for a while now. I only use Blurays and make BD9's and have never been able to get this to work.

My work around is using tsMuxeR along with ripbot.

I just wish I could use only ripbot. That would be my perfect world :)

Are you running on Vista? What version of Ripbot?

Is the temp dir on your local HD or on an external HD?

We have the same OS, Ripbot264 and .ini file.

I'm also assuming that your Ripbot264.exe is located in c:\RipBot264v1.13.3.

Have you tried running the program as an Admin? This shouldn't make a difference.

OK, I used ajax's installer on a Windows 7 RC machine.

I started ripbot and loaded the m2ts file. I clicked on subtitle and then the + sign and it shows the subtitle file in the temp directory. I added it and clicked english for the language.

In the preview box it looks like a whole bunch of random letters and symbols. It looks just like this .........

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1284550#post1284550

Is this correct? I was expecting time stamps and english words.

[hoju3508]

This is correct since sup is binary format not text bases like srt. Glad it's working for you even though it's very strange.

If you want to verify that your sup is correct, I usually run it through "suprip" to review the text.

Wow, Im glad I opened suprip and the subtitle.sup file.
There was errors on almost every other line.
I think I will keep using my method, ripbot + txMuxeR to build my BD9's with subtitles.

Duramaximus

[hoju3508]

That's normal. The errors that you're seeing has to do with how well the tool performs OCR. The sup file is golden.

I use suprip to make sure that I grabbed the main English sub instead of say the director's comments sub.

hi!
i'm trying now to decode some HD-DVD.
I create a blu-ray disc and all its ok, but size is larger, so i need to use RipBot.

I got and error when i import a .m2ts or .mkv file, maybe because it have a "VC-1" video codec?
If yes, how i can convert a "VC-1" codec to "H.264"??? or RipBot can handle "VC-1" codec?
thx!

nobody?

[illestdomer2005]

nobody?

What do you have right now? The HD-DVD files? An mkv or an m2ts from a previous attempt? RipBot can handle all of those files. What are you trying to do?

[Blackwalker]

What do you have right now? The HD-DVD files? An mkv or an m2ts from a previous attempt? RipBot can handle all of those files. What are you trying to do?

- i ripped a HD-DVD movie on the harddisk.
- I joined the 2 EVO files and converted, with ea3co, in a mkv file.
- i repped the audio track with ea3co
- use tsmuxer to create a .m2ts file

note: the video file is "VC-1" and not a h.264

when the load process of the .m2ts file using RipBot end, i got this error:
http://utenti.lycos.it/BlackWalker/Image1.jpg

dunno if i miss some codecs or i do something wrong.
The m2ts file created with tsmuxer play perfect on the pc...
dunno what to do! :(

[nwg]

I would install clown_bd instead. This is a gui that uses eac3to and tsmuxer automatically to create a full BD structure from both HD DVD and BD. Then put it through ripbot and you will also have things like chapters and subtitles working.

[Mary H]

This is the same procedure I try every time. When I click on the + sign the directory is empty. It cannot find the .sup file in the temp directory. When I use windows explorer to navigate to the directory I can see it but for some reason, ripbot cannot.

Possible explanation: When I go through these same steps, the default file types displayed in the Open dialog are SRT, SSA, ASS... SUP is not included! I have to type *.* in the filename box, and then I can see the SUP file! Try it and see...

Quoting mrr19121970

To sum it up in one sentence: Clown_BD will enable you to extract (on the fly) the main movie and language streams of your choice, resulting in either transport streams (for Media Jukebox), an ISO image (for PowerDVD) or even a burned BD disk (for standalone players).

clown_bd doesn't do any conversion.

i have a question about converting videos into playable Iphone files.

i am sure there must be some people here that share the same frustration as me.

as i understand there's the ipod profile in the option. but even when i choose it, and with Mp4 format, and aac audio 128bit. it's still unplayble with my iphone.

the only way to get it to work is to use Videora iphone converter to do the job. and it takes a whole day. Ripbot seems a lot easier and faster. even after i try to match the settings exactly from the Videora software to Ripbot (like 480X320 res).. it still won't play.

can someone confirm this?

I'm not sure what you're doing wrong, but I've used the ipod profile on several occasions with the 128kbps aac audio, did all the cropping and created an mp4 which worked just fine on the ipod. Make sure you're using Base 3.0, not 3.1 or whatnot, it doesn't work. Try and post your log & settings so we can see what you've been creating.

[hoju3508]

I think Win XP (Pro) is missing a codec or something that Vista isn't. Maybe someone on this forum has gotten Ripbot working on Win XP.



why did you bold Win XP Pro? i dont think it have something to do with this problem!

[howzz]

After the ripping stage of eac3to you will find a .sup file in the relevant temp folder, you need to convert this to an SRT file with SupRip http://exar.ch/suprip/ and save it back to the same folder.

Then you will be able to select a subtite stream on the encoding panel.

:D

ok... so i tried your suggestion. it worked.. but some of the type faces of the subtitle came out in some weird shape and symbol.... i did auto OCR in suprip but is there anything i can do to fix that.

[hoju3508]

Auto OCR won't pick up all of the letters correctly. You'll have to manually select the correct letter.

disabled this setting???

I see that also using the ffdshow, when i set VC-1 enabled when RipBot start it
disabled this setting???

why???????????

No conversion but it will create a movie only structure quickly ready for ripbot.

VC-1 one works fine with ripbot. Try reinstalling hali splitter and ffdshow.

[Sharktooth]

@Blackwalker: coz windows already has VC-1 decoder (assuming you updated it thru windows update) and it should work better than the one included with libavcodec.

Thank the gods for Ripbot!!! Been using it for months and had no real issues, but currently trying to rip some of my longer BD movies to Dual Layer DVD+R but the 8150 "Lock Size" option is producing files around 8350

e.g. Batman : The Dark Knight currently weighs in at 8,349,495 kb according to windows explorer.

As a result ImgBurn and Nero consider my Dual +R Traxdata DVDs too small for the job.

Is this a known issue with Ripbot or am I missing something?

Big thanks in advance.

P.S. my 4400 sized rips will only fit on DVD-R as well

I generally use RipBot264 for re-encoding movie trailers, but wanted to convert some DVD content recently so tried that. No dice. It finishes immediately, saying it was successful, but of course the file is much too small and looking at the batch files used appears to shed some light on the problem (though obviously not enough for me to fix it myself or I wouldn't be here, heh).

Any advice?

I tried updating the x264 binaries to the latest revisions, as well as editing the CMD file directly to use the x86 build instead of the x64 build, but that didn't seem to help.

Any advice?

Edit: Removing "--nal-hrd" from the command line seems to make it work.

When you upgraded the binaries for x264, you need to use a special patched version. If you read back a couple pages at most there are some links to the patched versions on this forum.

Hi Atak,
I know your releasing a new version soon. I was wondering if it was going to allow to keep a HD audio without conversion for BD-R. Your program is the best and fastest and really only needs that (with newest TSMUXER) to be near perfect for most needs.

I would like this feature too, great as MKV now supports HD audio tracks (via mkvtoolnix), and, i will be buying a Dune prime which reads HD audio tracks within MKV containers. (if you plan on adding this option for both BD output as well as MKV output)

Aside from being able to add the HD audio others have mentioned:

- Ability to add multiple audio tracks
- Ability to mux to mkv/ts/m2ts without encoding. I currently use MakeMKV and/or Clown_BD for my Blu Ray/HD DVDs that I don't want to encode. Since Ripbot264 demuxes the file anyhow, it would be nice to use ripbot264 as a one stop shop.

It kind of defeats the purpose of having a simple encoding app if you start looking for features outside the basic scope of the authors original intention..:cool:

Plus as you mentioned you can use those other tools to get what you want...:p


HD Aud might be an option *Don't Know* but the multiple audio track and demux/remux ideas are things that were not addressed the last time they were mentioned because your taking and trying to get titanic luxury out of a tug boat. It wont happen.

MeGUI is the best titanic multipurpose app on these forums and tries its best to include every tool to help in all encoding circomstances. It might be a better fit you and others.

Well said, just a thought since Ripbot already is demuxing the file into the temp folder. I am just a big fan of Ripbot264, so it is a shame I can't use it all the time, but point taken.

[Blackwalker]

hi Ajax_Undone!
i recently used your "Ripbot" package hat solved some problems i had, so thx for your work
andsorry for my english hehe :)

So you suggest, for the True-HD tracks to use MeGUI?
i never try it...

Would love see HD audio. Right now I am saving all my blurays and encoding so I can go back and re-do it.

[jindo]

I have 2 problems:

1. If I choose the Denoise option to FILM, Ripbot does not encode the movie. Moreover, I can't choose better audio quality (192kbps or 256 kbps). Why and how?

2. mkvtoolnix released version 2.8.0. I downloaded and extracted 7z file to replace all the files in folder \RipBot264v1.13.3\Tools\mkvtoolnix. Is it ok?

[Atak_Snajpera]

1. Install latest DirectX, 128kbps is enough
2. yes

[jindo]

Thank you for your quick reply. I have just installed Windows Vista Enterprise SP1 with DirectX 10. I think it is the latest version, right?

I want to rip HD music video clips so I need a bit higher audio quality. Is it possible?

[Ga1j1n]

Hey Atak,

I've noticed a new strange bit of behaviour, the first time I go to transcode an h264 mp4 from VOB's ripbot will skip the video encoding step after it finishes the audio, mux into an mp4 and announce everything is complete.

However the next time I run the same project (and any others in the queue) it completes perfectly.
Is this common? I have never used it for VOBs before now
v1.13.3

I agree that people should not expect this program to do everything. But adding the ability to keep the HD audio track really is not a luxary and even though I am not a expert programmer do not think it would be that difficult to add. AS it is megui is overkill, bdrebuilder has many bugs still. Ripbot is the best overall except for the HD audio. The alternatives are to demux the audio, reencode the video and hope you get the right size and then remux to BD. So basically all ripbot would have to add is the calculation part as it already does the rest.

[cxp36]

I'm trying to use v1.13.3. I have a Vista partition and an XP partition. I installed Ripbot264 on both.

On the Vista partition, RB started, indicated I had all the necessary subprograms it requires. AnyDVD HD was running. I put in a Blu-ray disc, RB analyzed, and I selected the largest .mt2 file for processing. Then nothing happened at all. It wouldn't do a thing - extraction never started.

In XP, did all of the above, and extraction was successful, but right after extraction got to 100% Media Player Classic popped up with the error message:

"DirectShowSource: Couldn't open file c:\temp\ripbot264temp\job1\video.mkv An object or name was not found (\Job1\Getinfo.avs, line 2)"

I've no idea what is happening, but can suggest a method I use that helps me. In your XP partition, run a CMD session, change the directory to your Job1 folder, and run the various CMD files RipBot creates. You'll see the actual output from all of the tools and that may give you a clue.

HDTV for 1080i file and the 720p is ripped off of bluray disc.

[Inbox7]

Ok I'm stumped. Installed a clean version of Windows 7, AnyDVD, Acronis Backup, Total Media Theater 3, MS Office, and Ripbot + supporting files. Life was good...I was able to rip a MP4 1080p copy of my new Star Trek III bluray. Looked and sounded great.

The next day, I tried the same thing again. Only this time, nothing worked. Ripbot reported "NO CHAPTERS" and "NO AUDIO" under "Select Streams." I tried TSMuxeR thinking I could do it manually but it reported "Unsupported Format."

So I though 'just restore the computer to a point before you installed everything' and start over. I ran Acronis restore and put everything back to the first time I ran Windows 7. I restarted the computer then reinstalled Ripbot + supporting files. This time though, same problem: "NO CHAPTERS" and "NO AUDIO." Tried on other Star Trek Titles and same problem. Did several google searches but couldn't pinpoint the issue.

Adding to the confusion... when I tested some other titles like "Christmas Vacation" and "Phantom of the Opera," Ripbot still worked fine.

Ugg. Really stumped on this one and not sure what/how to troubleshoot next. How could it work one time but not the next on the same title? What could be different? Is it a codec issue? Bluray security problem?

Any advice is appreciated.

Further to my earlier post I have noticed the same behaviour for Vob encodes further down the queue although here doesn't appear to be a pattern to the failure.

I've included the log file for one of the job's which has failed numerous times to complete where others do complete the second or so time around.

Odd?

Can anyone think of why when encoding an SD-DVD to mkv the quality is hit or miss? As an example I had ripped dodgeball to my PC (keeping the Video_TS structure in tact). I have no problems playing this movie, PQ looks great. I tried encoding it to mkv using the same profile I use for all my otehr movies inlcuidng Blu Rays (4.0 - 2-Pass - 2GB target size) and the PQ comes out a little streaky, especially when there is movement. I have had this same problem with other SD DVD rips, but not all of them. I attached a screenshot, you can see the "streaking" in the "OSQ" title. There are no other problems, but this makes the mkv unwatchable.

I have never had this problem with Blu Ray or HD DVD movies.

[prettyboy85712]

Change to Top Field First under de-interlace.

[Nkotok]

Hi guys. I am making a switch from BD Rebuilder to try Ripbot for blu-ray movie only. I am interested in keeping HD audio though. I hope RibBot will include this option soon.

As for other aplications that come with Ripbot but outdated - TSmuxer and eac3to: can I manually replace the ones with newer version and will Ripbot work? If yes, do I need to replace the whole folders of Tsmuer and eac3to in Ripbot's tools or just the main .exe files? Thanks in advance and sorry if it has been discussed before.

[prettyboy85712]

Yes to replacing the individual apps and no to replacing just the executables.

[Inbox7]

After a lot of trial and error, I discovered that the "No Chapters" "No Audio" issue was a result of the wrong registration for AnyDVD. Somehow I had registered the regular version and not the HD version so other programs were not able to correctly read the streams. In case others have this issue, you may want to double check.

[JohnnyB.Good]

Great tool, works wonderfully. It would be great if you can select your streams and also pick all of your options and set it off to start before demuxing, is that possible? Some movies take upwards to 40 minutes to demux so right now you have to wait until its done before you can click start and leave it off overnight, unless the option is there and I just don't know about it...

I'm on vacations in Poland till 19th and I have no access to my sources. Also last week I had laser eye correction so I'm not allowed to sit in front of monitor for long time. Good news is that 1.14 is almost finished. I will release new version once I come back to Ireland.

Any news on 1.14, perhaps that changelog of whats coming? :) :)

just a question: why using w64 ? because bepipe/nicaudio cannot handle hd audio stream ?


BHH

[Atak_Snajpera]

just a question: why using w64 ? because bepipe/nicaudio cannot handle hd audio stream ?
1) Lossless audio has variable bit-rate. My calculation formula for AVCHD works only with constant bit-rate. Uncompressed audio (wave64) provides always constant bitrate.
2) I don't want to use DirectShowSource (ffdshow) method for decoding audio because it can only complicate things. For example I would have to disable 'Mixer' in FFdshow and probably other filters.

I see the new log for 1.14 No option for keeping hd audio, right?
PCM, TrueHD and EAC3 will be always converted to uncompressed wave64 format (.w64). If you do BD50 -> BD25 backups you can import back .w64 into AVCHD structure. Quality will be exactly the same. Also keep in mind that AVCHD officially supports only AC3,DTS and PCM (wave64 for example).

I still am trying to understand why there is no option to just leave hd audio untouched? Is it your personal choice not to include it?
My guess is it does not require much. TS muxer does that.
The audio is stripped off the video at the beginning and then after video reencode is done is muxed back together. So why can it not be unconverted hd audio?

[nwg]

Thanks for the new version.

However, burning to a BD is not really AVCHD so all BD audio formats should work with it. The player will recognise it as a BD not as a AVCHD.

Just to be clear, version MKVToolnix 2.7 added support for TrueHD, and 2.3 added support for DTS-HD.

If I select audio Stream copy from a blueray ripped with AnyDvD HD into a mkv file, will it copy the DTS-HD/TrueHD audio into the mkv, or will it only be a dts/AC3 file?

I will repeat again.
Lossless audio (TrueHD,DTS-HD bla bla ...) has variable bit-rate. My calculation formula for AVCHD works only with constant bit-rate. Uncompressed audio (wave64) provides always constant bitrate. CONSTAT BITRATE = ACCURATE SIZE Uncompressed audio = so called HD Audio . BD-25 has enough room for video and uncompressed audio.

Just to be clear, version MKVToolnix 2.7 added support for TrueHD, and 2.3 added support for DTS-HD.
ffdshow decodes only DTS-core. Flac has better compression than TrueHD. If you really want I can add option to compress truehd/pcm to flac.

I see. Thanks for explaining. So when you say:"for BD25 backups you can import back .w64 into AVCHD structure". How do I do that? I mean at what stage: after I get the final blu-ray structure from RipBot. Do I need to remux everything once again?

[Atak_Snajpera]

1) select any .m2ts
2) select trueHD/pcm audio from list
3) after demuxing select avchd and COPY STREAM under audio profile

CONSTAT BITRATE = ACCURATE SIZE Uncompressed audio = so called HD Audio . BD-25 has enough room for video and uncompressed audio.

Let me get back to this. I am still thinking about what you said.
So you have a calculation formula for AVCHD that works with constant bit-rate. But in case with HD audio we are not interested in this formula, right? If we want to keep hd audio as is, then all we care about is video reencode. So when we start using RipBot the TSmuxer strips video and audio and then RipBot uses your formula to calculate the output size. So if you choose no audio at all, it will make video only fit 100% on a BD25, right? And that without using AVCHD formula as you chose no audio. So when you choose to keep an HD track, is it possible to make RipBot to follow the same process but just deduct the size of the HD track and adjust the video output size?
If I got it all wrong, I apologize in advance! )

EDIT: I probably got AVCHD and your formula for it all wrong as it does all together: audio and video and can not be divided.

ffdshow decodes only DTS-core. Flac has better compression than TrueHD. If you really want I can add option to compress truehd/pcm to flac.

I am just looking for a way to make as close to original copy of the blueray into a single mkv file. It looks like ffdshow does decode TrueHD, but you are right that it does dts-hd core only.

Is there another tool that you know of that I could manually demux the dts-hd audio out and add it myself?

Flac sounds interesting for TrueHD audio, but I am playing back on a popcorn hour and i am not sure it can handle that combo (mkv and flac).

Where did you get the mkv from....

[turbojet]

Thanks for the new version especially the closing x264.exe workaound, sup resize support and vobsub support both seem to work well. Even though I never use it I also like the zoomed crop preview, at first it looks confusing but once you try it it's easier then having the full size frame on the screen.

Out of curiosity is there any benefit to keep the directshow/preferred filter in Windows 7?
How it is currently locks out all other directshow decoders except ffdshow from directshowsource. Removing the preferred key resolves this issue.

Another thing is now that there's sup resize and vobsub support could the subtitle selected from the select streams window be added automatically to the project?
TSMuxer supports up to 32 subtitles as far as I know. Could there be multiple subtitle selection from the select streams window?
Is there any chance of fixing subtitle preview for sup and unicode srt?

Is there a chance of an option to set larger font of the check box titles or just change to a larger font?

If you program has resolution and framerate info is there a chance to ensure level compliancy of reference frames and vbv max bitrate (maybe only when AVCHD compatibility is checked)?
For example 1280x720: 4.x max is 9 reference frames, 4.0 = 25 mbps max bitrate, 4.1 = 50 mbps max bitrate
and 1920x1080: 4.x max is 4 reference frames
b-pyramid no longer affects the reference count.
Also would it make sense to have current HD, bluray, Console profile renamed to AVCHD, Console or something and have another profile named Blu-Ray that has max bitrate of 40-45 mbps to prevent undersized BD25 with the current profile?

Any chance to add --tff to x264.exe.cmd when it's encoding interlaced?
Another thing could be using an avisynth function like 'last.getparity() ? 1 : 0' to tell field order and set tff or bff accordingly, tff is much more common however.

Also is there a chance of a delete temp directory option from ini?

[Nkotok]

Why was blu-ray option removed and AVCHD put instead? So now if I want to make a bdmv to burn on a BD-r I need to take an extra step with TSmuxer?

[rack04]

Is there a way to specify the location of the temp folder? For some reason RipBot264 creates a temp folder on my C: and D: drive.

Why was blu-ray option removed and AVCHD put instead? So now if I want to make a bdmv to burn on a BD-r I need to take an extra step with TSmuxer?

TSMuxer bluray output isn't needed unless you are outputting VC-1 to play on a Panasonic BD player which you aren't. In all other situations AVCHD is a lot heavier tested and working fine. The only real issue issue I can see targeting a BD25 is undersize due to max bitrate of 25 mbps in the bluray profile.

Is there a way to specify the location of the temp folder? For some reason RipBot264 creates a temp folder on my C: and D: drive.

I have the same problem, always makes C:\Temp no matter what temp folder is set to in .ini. The only way I found to not make at least 2 temp directories is setting it to C:\ which I don't want to as it slows the OS way down. While I would appreciate if this was fixed I'd much more appreciate an option to delete meaningless temp folders on exit.

[nwg]

Even though AVCHD is now labelled as the output. It still has the normal BD file structure just like before instead of a AVCHD one which has less folders.

[Balthazar2k4]

So I just tried encoding my first flick using 1.14 by converting the PCM track off the disc to 5.1 AAC. Unfortunately, RipBot keeps telling me that the final movie size is 220mb. When I tell it to go ahead and encode it takes about 15 seconds and then tells me it is done encoding. It never even gets to starting the video. If I add just the video it calculates the final size at 3400mb, but if I add the wav file it drops to 220mb. I never had this problem with 1.13. Now, I am using Win7 x64 if that is any help, but this is real puzzler for me. I am thinking the wav64 has something to do with it, but I haven't a clue how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Change to Top Field First under de-interlace.

I changed to TFF under de-interlaced and that cleared up the PQ issues. However, now the audio seems to be out of sync, any thoughts? I have a box set of the Chappelle Show. I ripped each episode individually to Video_TS and now am converting them to mkvs using Ripbot. This is the first time I have had an audio sync problem. thx

I have discovered that the PCM track I was trying to encode was 7.1. Since I am not sure if that is the problem or not I am going to rip a disc with 5.1 PCM and see if that works properly.

* Update: Apparently it doesn't matter whether it is 5.1 or 7.1, I get the same result. I did notice that both show they are only 6+ minutes long in RipBot, but the wav file is over 4GB. I suspect the problem is that the file IS over 4GB and it is only reading the amount over 4GB (WAV format issue?). Until someone can help me, I guess it is back to 1.13 for me....

@Atak_Snajpera

is it possible to disabled to feature that validate the movie dimension (1080p,720p) when selecting AVCHD ? I don'T relly want to burn the converted movie, I just want a .m2ts to play on the PS3 without resizing the movies. It was working in the previous version. Now I have to choose .mkv and remux it with tsmuxer.

[dbone1026]

Looks like for the movies with audio delays Ripbot was automatically calculating a delay. I brought this down to zero and still get a delay (although much better). I will have to keep playing around with this.

[dbone1026]

Anyone know a reason why the Deinterlace/Decimate option is not always available?

Not sure it really matters, just curious.

I did two encodes last night with v14 (apple tv profile, resize to 1280 and 5.1 aac). Both sources were avc and one source had dts hd-ma and the other true hd. The source with dts came out fine the one with true hd did not. Ripbot didnt report an error on screen but file size was 200MB or so. Unfortunately dont have a log to produce since I closed RB. Will try the encode again tonight so I can produce a log for Atak to look at.

I am glad(?) someone else is seeing the problem as well. RipBot does not report an error per se, but simply shows the movie final size as 200mb with the audio anywhere from 6 mins to -6 minutes. I have looked through the logs and found nothing suspicious. I almost wonder if the problem is stemming from eac3to.

[hoju3508]

Essentially what you're doing is making a backup of your existing Ripbot tree (including the sub directory) and installing the latest version. The latest version will have updated tools, etc.

Decimate is only available for NTSC sources (29.97fps or 59.94fps). In PAL (25 or 50fps) world live is simpler and we don't have to use that option.
Deinterlace is not available if source has 23.976fps. That kind of combination simply does not exists :)
