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

[Ajax_Undone]

Sorry it took so long had a busy day... New installer in My signature...

[juGGaKNot]

x264 is removing b-rdo and bime options this week. GUI makers, take note, and prepare patches.

subme6: RD on I/P frames
subme7: RD on all frames
subme8: RD refinement on I/P frames
subme9: RD refinement on all frames

new subme 6 = old subme 6
new subme 7 = old subme 6 + b-rdo
new subme 8 = old subme 7 + b-rdo
new subme 9 = didn't exist, RD refinement in B-frames is completely new.


Does this mean 1.10.8 when you have free time ?

[Paddy97]

The new version is a blast! Dear Atak_Snajpera, just as an update. I've had problems with audio sync issues with some Disney Blurays with the older versions. The new .7 version works flawlessly with no sync issues at all! Might have been the updated DGAVCDec or something else you did, it doesn't matter since its flawless now.

Thanks for all your time and effort into this wonderfull tool!

[pOpY]

Thanks for the Update. I will test it in the next days.

@Atak_Snajpera: It is possible to change RipBot264 that it doesnt demux the streams first. It took a while to demux it and after that i can make my settings. It is possible to change this that the demuxing process starts if the job queue is started??

Thanks for this great tool

@ Atak_Snajpera Thanks for the excellent work much appreciated :thanks:

[laserfan]

The new version has inspired me to try RipBot264, but I have a question: What profile should be used to create a BD5 or BD9?

It looks to me like the two (provided) BD profiles differ by Trellis and Bitrate, but I thought that creation of the BR structure onto a DVD-5 or -9 required bitrates of 20Mbps or less??? :confused:

[malgates]

Hi,

I'm encoding HD DVDs. I don't want to encode with 2pass. I want to encode with 1pass. But which quality should I use? I used CQ 22. But the video file is only 600MB. I want the best Quality possible.

Regards

Nope. Too many things depend on demuxed audio. File size , duration , number of channels and so on.

New DGAVCDec and new eac3to probably fixed your problems. I've just updated those tools :)

What? There is only one profile Level 4.0 HD . BluRay . Consoles . This is the most compatible profile which you can get for HD (DXVA , XBOX360 , PS3 , ... , BluRay)

I'm encoding HD DVDs. I don't want to encode with 2pass. I want to encode with 1pass. But which quality should I use? I used CQ 22. But the video file is only 600MB. I want the best Quality possible.
1920x1080@23.976fps squeezed into 600MB?!?!!? At CRF 22?!?!?!?! it's rather impossible. CRF22 should give you average bitrate around 12Mbps! You better show me Jobx_log.txt

Perhaps :)

[Ajax_Undone]

It looks to me like the two (provided) BD profiles differ by Trellis and Bitrate, but I thought that creation of the BR structure onto a DVD-5 or -9 required bitrates of 20Mbps or less???

What? There is only one profile Level 4.0 HD . BluRay . Consoles . This is the most compatible profile which you can get for HD (DXVA , XBOX360 , PS3 , ... , BluRay)

that might be my fault the updater & installer dont delete the old profiles in the profiles folder do to concerns of people making customized settings in them..

So the option is always there to delete the extras manually... How ever profiles of the same name as the old ones they will over right them just for forward compatibility with later versions of ripbot... such as the comment about b-rdo being removed... Now as that I have not studied the effects of x.264 cmd line vs the profiles because of time restraints it gets a little frustrating having to pick and choose so I am deeply sorry...

Where do I get the script? I only have the logfile. Is it in the tempfiles?

I will go back and double check my system but do not recall loading any. Plus previous versions of RB264 work fine.

Will let you know what I find. Thanks for the quick response.

[Paddy97]

With the .7 version i get fully in sync BD rips from my Disney BDs. But now I have started to recieve reboots with my Tvix 6500 player with the files created from Ripbot.

I have two tvix boxes with different firmware in them. One reboots with the files created and the other stutters heavily.

I am using the level 4.0 profile that I've allways used to create MKV files for my tvix from bluray discs. I have used both CQ mode and 2-pass but both creates files that my tvixes have problems with. Any idea where to start looking? The files playes OK on my PC with for instance videolan and coreavc so I have no clue where to start.

Did you have the same problem with previous version?

[juGGaKNot]

question : now output is AVC1 and not h.264

DXVA still works, just want to now why :)

also, is the x264 patched with x264_hrd_pulldown.09_interlace.diff ?

my footage is progresive, is there any way to remove this from the cfg ? should i remove it or if the footage is not interlaced is does not do anything ?

[Atak_Snajpera]

question : now output is AVC1 and not h.264
AVC1 = h.264 . Somebody made cosmetic change. FFDSHOW guys or x264 team? Frankly I don't care

also, is the x264 patched with x264_hrd_pulldown.09_interlace.diff ?
yes.

You don't have to do anything!

THNX for your hard work, waiting for 1.10.8 with "new" x264 configuration.

I have one small feature request.

If you select to resize to PSP resolution Ripbot264 always resizes to a vertival resolution of 270 and adds a border of 2 lines (eg. with a 4/3 video it resizes to 360*270 and adds borders in the vertical and horizontal direction). I hope you can change it to 272 and fill the vertical resolution fully (changing it by hand every time is annoying).
Example of an Ripbot avs file:
video=Spline36Resize(video,360,270).Sharpen(0.2).AddBorders(60,0,60,2)


In addition it would be great if it would resize 16:9 matierial to the full native resolution at 480*272 and not to 480*270 and 2 black lines because it is better compressible that way and the aspect ratio error will only be about 1,3% .

PSP always removes two bottom lines if resolution is 480x272!

Nope. Too many things depend on demuxed audio. File size , duration , number of channels and so on.


Ok, but i am using just "lock size" feature, so if i can set my settings before demuxing audio it would be great. You can just analyse the audio & video stream and then let me take my options!?!?

Please?!?!

I which programming language did you write this app?

Is it open source?

Did you have the same problem with previous version?

I have just redone the encode of the same BD with the .6 version and ran it through my both tvixes (whole movie). Works flawlessly apart from the audio sync problem. So this was introduced in the .7 version.

Just for fun I have now taken the dgavcdec from .7 and i'm using it in the .6 version and doing another encode to see if I get an in sync version that works with tvix. Sorry to say it did not fix the sync issues so it is something else that is the magic pill.

Sorry, didn't know that. And I just tested and it seems that x264 has no problem with such small borders, I could not see any difference or increase in filesize.

[laserfan]

I've uninstalled & re-installed 1.10.7 and although I've had success in the past using x264 from the command line (in c:\program files\x264), with RipBot264 the process crashes (twice) when attempting to execute the x264 .cmd (once for each of 2 passes I presume). The only thing I note that's different, apart from that the cmds are attempting to execute from x264's subfolder, is that there's a dll in the x264 subfolder which I'd not seen before (maybe because I was using an older build of x264, I dunno). The dll is mentioned in the crash report.

Yes I know this is a crappy post, and I need to do more t-shooting and provide better error reporting, but I'm hoping someone knows a simple answer, or something obvious for me to check. Are there for example some pre-requisite MS libraries I need to have installed for x264? The next thing I am going to try I guess is to edit the .cmd's that RipBot has created to use the x264 installed at c:\program files\x264. Any other ideas? :confused:

[binhex]

hi i have been playing around with setting the default values for the video to 2-pass and settings the bitrate by defining this in the ini file, is it possible to set the bitrate for the audio as well using the ini file?, if not could this be added as a feature request :-).

cheers,
binhex.

p.s many thanks for replying to my previous post :-)

[bigjohn]

This thread is amazing, and it seems the application is too!
I have a question. I have a media server, and my standard method of ripping a dvd (movie only) to it has been less than sucessful lately, due to some wierdness in the dvd's.

I need to:
1 - rip the main title only (been using Anydvd + shrink for this)
2 - convert the file to a specific bitrate mpg.

I've been doing the transcode using VLC, but there is something odd happening. The VLC command line is quite straight forward... but somehow the single VOB created by shrink, while the right size, is not being seen correctly? middle of the movie missing sometimes, or even stopping 50 minutes in to a 2 hour movie...

start "Converting with VLC.EXE" /BelowNormal /b /wait %VLCPath% -vvv "%~1" --sout "#transcode{vcodec=mpgv,vb=7413,scale=1,width=720,height=400,fps=29.97,paddtop=40,paddbottom=40,acodec=mpga,ab=192,samplerate=48000,channels=2,equalizer-preamp=20}":standard{url="%~dpn1.DVD.mpeg"} --aspect-ratio=4:3 --sout-ffmpeg-keyint=16 --sout-ffmpeg-strict-rc vlc:quit


Can someone outline how I could accomplish my task using this program? OH, and are there other skins? I can't read the white on lightblue concept...

Yeah this is what I got for an answer long ago...:rolleyes:

[weaver4]

I encode a movie using RB and the "[ level 4.0 ] HD . BluRay . Consoles" profile, I have it set to 1-Pass with a CQ of 22. The filesize was larger than I expected so I tested it with some other programs. The video parameters of all the movies are 640x272, cq of 22, boarders are cropped. I used mediainfo on the video file when complete to verify the audio files are the same. Here are the files sizes with different tools.

RipBot264 = 950k
StaxRip = 591k
MeGui = 597k
Mpeg Mediator = 589k

I then took and made a iPhone Video with the same tools with a width of 480 and CQ=24 and size was roughly equal between all four programs. Size was about 445k

So I am thinking that something may be wrong with the "[ level 4.0 ] HD . BluRay . Consoles" profile.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Could you show me results with longer video( 60 min or more)

it will be fixed in next release. Regarding audio problem this should explain
Added: Demuxing process will be automatically repeated if eac3to generates .gaps files.

I bow my head with gratitude! Thanks for the support.

[weaver4]

I'm sorry, the file sizes were Meg not Kilo so the RipBot264 file was 950M.

Thanks!

[Atak_Snajpera]

I would need exact command line used by other guis.
UPDATE: I've just made test with MeGUI and I got the same file size .

[weaver4]

I changed the profile from:TrellisQuant=1 to TrellisQuant=0 and the filesize went to 662M; so it is getting closer.

Here is the x264 command from StaxRip. (I noticed that trellis=1 on this command line, so I don't think my change above was legit.)

C:\Documents and Settings\Trey Weaver\Local Settings\Application Data\StaxRip\Applications\x264\x264.exe" --crf 22 --ref 3 --bframes 16 --b-pyramid --weightb --direct auto --filter -2:-1 --subme 6 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --trellis 1 --me umh --merange 12 --threads auto --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output "D:\aa-Rips\xxx\VIDEO_TS\xxx--zsxq22_EncoderOutput.264" "D:\aa-Rips\xxx\VIDEO_TS\xxx--zsxq22.avs"

[weaver4]

UPDATE: I re-encoded a movie that I did with ribbot264 in Mid Aug. The filesize in Mid Aug was 514M (don't know what version of RB that was) and the same movies encoded with the latest RB is 797M. This is done with the same vob files. Both are CQ of 22 with resolution of 640x272; using the Console profile.

commit 173b40c276ee187de31ef630fd207a62de1b2cc7 r968
Author: Jason Garrett-Glaser <darkshikari@gmail.com>
Date: Sat Sep 13 14:03:12 2008 -0700

Move adaptive quantization to before ratecontrol, eliminate qcomp bias
This change improves VBV accuracy and improves bit distribution in CRF and 2pass.
Instead of being applied after ratecontrol, AQ becomes part of the complexity measure that ratecontrol uses.
This allows for modularity for changes to AQ; a new AQ algorithm can be introduced simply by introducing a new aq_mode and a corresponding if in adaptive_quant_frame.
This also allows quantizer field smoothing, since quantizers are calculated beofrehand rather during encoding.
Since there is no more reason for it, aq_mode 1 is removed. The new mode 1 is in a sense a merger of the old modes 1 and 2.
WARNING: This change redefines CRF when using AQ, so output bitrate for a given CRF may be significantly different from before this change!

That makes it about useless to me. I know that CQ=22 was good enough for me, I have no idea what new number to use now.

[Dark Shikari]

That makes it about useless to me. I know that CQ=22 was good enough for me, I have no idea what new number to use now.Stick with the same unless you have good reason not to.

Some videos got larger at the same CRF, some got smaller, others stayed the same. On average, things stayed the same.

[Ajax_Undone]

I think its great! Some of the movies i've encoded are smaller after re encoding from original source...

You guys rock...
