Actually using eac3to/ClownBD to rip everything first worked best. I'm now running the first pass of 2. I am resizing my rips to 720p for space purposes. It's going to take 4 hours per pass it looks like.

I don't understand what you mean. It sounds like you're not using Ripbot to rip, but are using it to build your AVCHDs. How do you do that? Can you give me more detail on the steps you're using?

After being ripped by AnyDVD, Clown_BD creates movie only BD's (with only wanted audio and subtitles). If the results are bigger than 23.3GB then they can go through Ripbot.

Correct, I had started this process before someone posted the fix for Ripbot. I'll try the fix tomorrow. 8 hours to build a 720p mkv though is ridiculous.

[stryker412]

I tested the mkv I made tonight of Iron Man. Damn does it look great!! I have it down to 720p/AC3 for size reasons but it looks great on my TV.

Hey, thank you for developing this nice program.
I was using the version 1.13 under Windows 7 64 bit and it worked great.
Now, (I have no clue why) it cannot create a Job. I choose the file (mkv, vob or mp4), the process start, demuxing audio appears or indexing and then it opens MPC with render error. No jobs, nada.
The same problem with the 1.14.
Do you have any clue ?

Never mind, removed everything (ffdshow, avisynth, ...) and installed again. Now it`s working.

Thank you,

Atak, any chance we can see a DTS-HD/Master Audio to FLAC option for those with the ArcSoft TMT decoder installed?

[stryker412]

Is there any other DTS encoder besides surcode? $500 is a wee bit much.

[mcpdigital]

64bit version working for me OK with ini file set to: Usex264x64=1 in version 1.14.0. Also confirmed by the task manager showing the x264_x64 file running during encoding

Same here, working fine with 1.14

[Balthazar2k4]

Yes, the ArcSoft Total Media Theater includes a DTS-HD MA decoder. You will need to find a version prior to 3. I am using 2.1xxxx and it works flawlessly. Unfortunately, I have to manually demux the audio track and encode to flac with eac3to. I can then import the audio track into RipBot. Would definitely be nice if this support was added similar to the TrueHD/PCM support Atak introduced in 1.14.

Hello, I'm having a problem, not sure how to go about this.
I downloaded this, and the other three necessary programs avisynth, matroska splitter and ffdshow too. I was able to convert like, 3 shows to psp format, but then things started to get bad.

Now, everytime I try to convert something, it takes several minutes to initialize. This isn't my main problem though--everytime, it barely even finishes audio, and my computer will just restart, without any prompting from me whatsoever.

I looked on google to find out why, and some place said to look in my computer management files to see any red flags. Well, this is what those say:

---

I figured it was just the mkv file type or whatever, but now that I've tried an alternate mp4 file, it still restarts, sometimes not even fully doing the audio. Does anyone know why this is? I mean, I can't convert anything it seems, all it does is take 5 minutes to initialize, a few minutes to get through the audio IF its able, and might start the encoding, but soon after my comp just restarts (due to the application failure, usually the one i posted).

[rack04]

For some reason after loading a avs script the boxes for "mode" and "save as" are still greyed out. I'm not able to select two pass or avchd. Is anyone else having this problem?

// it will use 64bit version of x264 on 64bit Windows. Up to 10% faster encoding speed. May not work sometimes.
Usex264x64=1

Does not work >_<

I had the same problem on Windows 7 64bit. Started my encode and x264_x64 reported a crash. I got it to work by using the 4.0 profile instead of a custom 4.1 profile which had a buffer and max rate of 50000.

Don't know if the 4.1 profile had anything to do with the crash or if it was just coincidence that x264_x64 worked after changing to 4.0.

Oh and yesterday was my first post and I never thanked Atak for his amazing program

Thank you Atak :)

[jacksback]

Please see this answer from Atak.

It has solved the problem for me.

Thanks Balthazar. I didn't get a chance to test it because I upgraded to Windows 7 and that resolved all my problems.

Question for Atak, will RipBot continue normally during any phase after Hybernation? My laptop shutdown after 360 minutes and after starting it back up, x264_x64 and RipBot continued as normal. I'm hoping that the data is not corrupt due to the Hybernation.

Thanks

Oh and one enhancement request, if possible, can you add a pause button? I use my main Desktop for work and have had to abort a number of encodes if I needed to do some quickly.

Thanks

[stryker412]

One more question which is sort off topic (I think). How can I burn forced subtitles into an mkv? It's hard to determine which subtitle track is the forced one. I'd like to rip my copy of Black Hawk Down but will need forced sub support. I generally use PS Media Server for playback, but can test in MPC.

Edit: Also, how can I make a proper mkv if the main movie is not all in one m2ts?

Well it still doesn't work for me. Do you think it has anything to do with using DGAVCDecNV? The script plays just fine. Using MKV as input all the options are available.

Hi Atak,

Trouble with 1.14.1;

I convert an mkv blu-ray ripp to AVCHD with fix 4480mb, project after conversion his too big to enter on a DVD5. When DTS normally i enter 4425MB and size is ok but now still oversize than DVD5. I retry with 4400MB ans still oversize. I cant convert and burn on a dvd5. I try with 3 movies, does the same.

I apologize for apparently misunderstanding your problem. I thought you were trying to decode DTS-HD MA to FLAC. It seems you are trying to encode to DTS. At this time I am unaware of any other DTS encoder other than Surcode. May I ask why you wish to encode to DTS?

[leemjas]

When I addborders with the new version on an .mkv file and choosing AVCHD it gives me an error when trying to add subtitles. the error says warning not valid AVCHD. This is the same method I use in 13.3 but with the Bluray option.

Are you crazy!? You want to put uncompressed audio on 4,37 GB?!?

I will do math for you!
2h:01m:14 = 7200+60+14 = 7274 seconds
48000hz * 6 * 2 (8 bit = 1 byte , 16 bits = 2 bytes) = 576 000 bytes/s

7274 seconds * 576 000 bytes = 4189824000 bytes (3996 MB)

And here is my question. What bitrate did you expect for movie if audio takes almost 4GB ?!?!

Higher bitrate than AC3. I do not have a receiver capable of any of the newer formats.
Did you know that AC3 640kbps gives almost the same quality as DTS 1536 kbps? No? So now you know.

Hi,

I am using Ripbot 13.3.7 with Windows Vista64. I want to shrink National Treasure to fit on BD-R.

Movie is reported as 2:11:4.531; audio (copy stream of AC3 640 kbps audio) shows as 2:11:4.512. BDinfo shows original movie has 19 chapters. (is the mismatch in movie/audio length the cause of my problem below?)


After converting National Treasure, creating ISO and playing with Power DVD9, it shows 13:15:21 in the movie info box for movie length (BDinfo on the converted mt2s also reports this length). Both bdinfo and PDVD also shows 20 chapters. The 20th chapter appears to be all black. The movie actually ends at the right place on the slider bar (2:11) bot then plays a black screen for the remaining 11 plus hours.

Any ideas why I have this 11 hours of black screen?

Thanks,

Zot

edit - sorry - I meant 1.13.3. Don't know what my fingers were drinking before typing :-)

Help please, i still cant create any job with the last 1.14x version (some Windows Media Player codec error). This was working good with the 1.13 :(

[Zot]

Hello,

I'm not well versed in AVCHD versus Blu ray format, so forgive me in advance. I"m just trying to shrink from a BD-DL original to fit on a BD-R (sometimes even after removing unwanted audio/sub streams the movie is still too big)

Ripbot v 1.13.3 allowed output to Bluray as an option. v 1.14.1 shows AVCHD as the output option in its place. Do I just use imgburn to create the iso from the AVCHD output, burn to BD disk and I'm done (for playback in a standalone BD player on BD media) - or do I need to move files/folders around, edit clipinf header, etc first?

Thanks!

Z

there's my fat fingers again. Meant 1.14.1 not 1.41.1!!!!

[Atak_Snajpera]

Old Blu-ray = new AVCHD. Cosmetic change. That's it.

[8ternity]

Do you have the same problem with 1.13.3?

no, the version 1.13.3 work 100% with DTS size to 4425MB.

[Nkotok]

Is there a way to put a custom size yourself? I still have not figured how to keep HD audio with RipBot so that I can burn it normally in blu-ray structure on a BD25. So doing video only with RipBot in custom size and separately ripping HD audio with TSmuxer and then muxing the two together seems like a way.

I've already fixed this in my 1.14.2. Bug was cased by latest MediaInfo. Older version was always rounding DTS bitrate to 1536000 bps but latest mediainfo detects more precisely. Real bitrate for DTS is in fact smaller (~1510000 bps). My calculation formula was looking for 1536000 bps instead of something between 1509000 bps 1510000 bps.

BTW. is it possible to install Arcsoft DTS decoder without whole TMT package

Good question. I installed ver 2.1xxxx as an entire package (fortunately, the trial version is sufficient). I have looked several places and most everybody seems to be doing it that way. Do not use version 3 as ArcSoft has made changes to their decoder and eac3to is not able to use it. Unfortunately, it is the only way to properly decode 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio into FLAC.

Thanks. So it will do DTS-HD MA or Dolby TrueHD and leave the same quality at the end?

[cyb3rr4t]

First of all

Excellent program, simple to use and great results

But I have a question

I have been trying to sharpen the video quality (to take the soft look out of the picture) and after trying different variations of the settings I don't seem to get much better results

Has anyone been successful in achieving this or is it not possible to do so with RipBot

Thanks Jim

Hey I just tried to grab RipBot but Mediafire is saying its an invalild file?

Atak just tried a few 2 hr movies AVCHD 720p (2 pass) using 1.14.1 - On my quad core PC encoding takes about 50% longer than using 1.13.3 and CPU utilization is running at about 50-60% on pass1 and 80-90% on pass 2. Using all previous versions of ripbot CPU utilization has always been at 95-100% on all 4 cores for pass 2.
Not sure if this is caused by the latest x264 release or a change in your ripbot settings.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Thanks. So it will do DTS-HD MA or Dolby TrueHD and leave the same quality at the end?
TrueHD will be uncompressed to LPCM.

and CPU utilization is running at about 50-60% on pass1 and 80-90% on pass 2.
This is normal. First pass does not require that much cpu cycles. If you enable Denoiser (GPU) cpu utilization can be a little bit lower. Simply CPU is waiting for GPU to finish filtering.

[jamd1]

Must be the new x264 slowing the process down - just tried the same movie with 1.13.3 - all commandline settings are the same used in 1.14.1 ( bitrate ,drive partition all the same) . With 1.13.3 encode is about 70% of the time using 1.14.1 and all cpu utilization is higher.

[stryker412]

What do you all use to burn forced subs into your mkvs?

[Nkotok]

TrueHD will be uncompressed to LPCM.

Can you explain what it will mean for an encode result burnt on a BD25? Will it just have a movie but instead of TrueHD there will be LPCM? Will there be a ny difference between it and the original track? Is there any way to make it TrueHD again before burning on a blank?

[hoju3508]

I noticed a slow down as well with 1.14.1 vs. 1.13.3. With the first pass, it was doing like 3-4 fps instead of the 9-12 fps.

Waiting for the new release that fixes the oversized DTS track.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Yes! Movie will have LPCM audio instead of TrueHD. You must know that uncompressed audio has 100% the same quality as compressed format. This like uncompressing .zip or .rar archive to original state.

With the first pass, it was doing like 3-4 fps instead of the 9-12 fps.
I will check this later.

Thanks. I was not sure how it works with the audio. So the only difference will be what: the bigger size of the uncompressed LPCM?

[Atak_Snajpera]

So the only difference will be what: the bigger size of the uncompressed LPCM?
Yes! Around 40% bigger. Do not worry about that because BD has enough room for video and uncompressed audio.

[nwg]

I think I know why my Sony S350 is not FF/RW and chapetering ok. I put a ripbot file into mediainfo and GOP sizes is Keyint= 250 and keyint_min=25. I put a BD ReBuilder file in that works with the S350 and the keyint=24 and keyint_min=1.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I think I know why my Sony S350 is not FF/RW and chapetering ok. I put a ripbot file into mediainfo and GOP sizes is Keyint= 250 and keyint_min=25. According to BD specs it should be more like 1.
Why don't you check if Keyint= 25 and keyint_min=1 work better for you?

[Nkotok]

Yes! Around 40% bigger. Do not worry about that because BD has enough room for video and uncompressed audio.

By about 40%!!!? That's still kind of crazy. So if a TrueHD track is about 3-4Gb, uncompressed will take 5-7Gb? That's a lot and video will have to be of lesser quality. I know 25Gb is a lot for both video and hd audio, but a golden middle by leaving the original TrueHD would be nice. AC3 is too little and LPCM is too much (why waite additional 2GB of space that could be used for better video).

[Atak_Snajpera]

You will need cybernetic eyes to see any difference! x264 is VERY VERY efficient. Movie shrank to 7.96 gb can look as good as original! On BD you have 3 times more space! Besides If you are that crazy about quality you should not re-encode at all!

[Nkotok]

You will need cybernetic eyes to see any difference! x264 is VERY VERY efficient. Movie shrank to 7.96 gb can look as good as original! In BD you have 3 times more space!

Even for fast moving scenes?
I wonder encodes at which percentage rate of the original video will show signs of lesser quality? I remember when I did encode DVDs, video at about 60% would show macro blocking etc.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Even for fast moving scenes?
yes! yes! Even at fast moving scenes!

I wonder encodes at which percentage rate of the original video will show signs of lesser quality?
There is no golden value! Some movies require more bits ,some less. End of story.

[Ga1j1n]

I encode 1080P videos to 3.99gb (4094mb target size) with 5.1AAC Audio with minimal quality loss to fit on FAT32 devices.

I find this offers a great compromise between absolute quality and convenient size, In my opinon the low compression/high bitrate of a normal BluRay video (average 15-20Gb) + 3-4gb of 5.1 audio is more to allow the use of lower hardware specifications in dedicated BluRay players meaning lower producton costs for manufacturers than to guarantee the best image quality.

As long as the device you use for playback has the horsepower to decode a more agressively encoded video stream (e.g a PS3) you won't notice a big difference between a 4gb encode and the original (except for maybe a bit of blocking and averaging in dark scenes)

Just my take on it. try it out for yourselves

:p

[rack04]

For some reason after loading a avs script the boxes for "mode" and "save as" are still greyed out. I'm not able to select two pass or avchd. Is anyone else having this problem?

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a199/rack04/ripbot.jpg

I don't know what's wrong but I've tried 3 seperate computers and I still can't get RipBot264 to allow changes when a avs script file is used as video input. It worked perfectly in the previous version. It's like it is not detecting the video format. Loading a mkv directly everything works find. Loading a avs script file for the same mkv doesn't work. This is the script:

DirectShowSource("C:\Personal\Videos\sample.mkv", audio=false)
AssumeFPS(24000,1001)
crop( 0, 128, 0, -136)
Spline64Resize(1280,544)

[Atak_Snajpera]

I get this with Spline64Resize
http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/6020/testavssnapshot20090603.png

instead of Spline64Resize(1280,544) use Spline36Resize(1280,544)

[rack04]

RipBot264v1.13.3 is the last version that works for the avs script.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I used your script and it works ok. I only changed Spline64Resize(1280,544) to Spline36Resize(1280,544)

[rack04]

I get this with Spline64Resize
http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/6020/testavssnapshot20090603.png

instead of Spline64Resize(1280,544) use Spline36Resize(1280,544)

Spline64Resize(1280,544) works fine for me using AviSynth 2.58, build:Dec 22, 2008.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I just realized that I still have 2.57. BTW Did you check on vista and 7 or only on xp

[rack04]

I just realized that I still have 2.57. BTW Did you check on vista and 7 or only on xp

Just XP.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I stopped using XP long time ago. I have only access to Vista and 7 and I have absolutely no problems with .avs scripts on both systems.

[rack04]

I confirmed it worked using Spline36Resize(1280,544). Although I have found that it doesn't work using LanczosResize(1280,544). So it seems to be a function of resize algorithm. Maybe I uninstall AviSynth 2.58 and install AviSynth 2.57 and see if that makes a difference.

I stopped using XP long time ago. I have only access to Vista and 7 and I have absolutely no problems with .avs scripts on both systems.

Well for one you can't use Spline64Resize but I think that is a function of AviSynth version. :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Although I have found that it doesn't work using LanczosResize(1280,544)
Lanczos works as well on my system (Vista + AviSynth 2.57)
I confirm that it does not work with AviSynth 2.58!

[rack04]

Lanczos works as well on my system (Vista + AviSynth 2.57)

Well I guess I'll stick with RipBot264v1.13.3. Thanks for looking into this.

In case anyone wants to test I have attached a download link to the sample.mkv and AviSynth script file.

I was right! When I replaced DirectShowSource.dll from 2.5.8 with older from AviSynth 2.5.7 everything started to work again!
New version will automatically load older DirectShowSource.dll for .avs files

[SBrooks1]

I was looking for a simple to use program to re-encode my own personal MKV rips and I hope this works out well. I've got about 2 hours 20 min left on a 2-pass that's taking a 25GB MKV to 8GB. It's taking over 24 hours to complete; which is fine I guess. I would like it to be faster though. I'm running a Pentium Dual Core E2200 @ 2.2 GHz with 3GB of RAM on Vista. I guess that's normal. I noticed that at the bottom of the RipBot264 encoding window it says "Low Priority" and it's checked. I didn't even notice that before I started this. Would unchecking that make this go quicker?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Would unchecking that make this go quicker?
No if you don't play in any games during encoding :)

[mackworth]

I've already fixed this in my 1.14.2.

So whats coming in 1.14.2? Any chance we can get a peak into what kind of features you plan on adding in the distant future? I know I know, I am impatient. :D

I tried a movie with TrueHD yesterday and it failed. Both passes worked alright but at the very last stage of muxing the word Muxing in the left lower corner kept flickering and was not showing any progress (in percent, I suppose). I waited like for about an hour (muxing should not take that long anyway) but nothing was happening. Hard drive was not active. I had no choice but abort the RipBot.

It was a Russian blu-ray movie. I did not keep the working folder. I started doing another movie right away but without HD audio. I will try a movie with TrueHD later again and will see if it will work.
I looked at log files before deleting them and the ones that were there did not have any error reports. I guess Muxing process just froze. I aborted Ripbot and it deleted the encode. TSmuxer was still in active processes and I had to close it through Task Manager.

[Nkotok]

Can anybody give a short summary (step by step) about what is going on when you do a movie with TrueHD or DTS-HD through Ripbot for BD25 in 2-pass and what kind of files are being created in an order? That would be really appreciated.

I used to encode on my laptop (Pentium Dual Core 1.8 GHz with 1G of RAM on Vista Home edition) and it took ~36 hrs.

Funny you should mention that! I've been meaning to thank for your 'low priority' setting. I start an encoding and then start playing a game. Ripbot is so well behaved that I never even notice it is running in the background. Obviously the encodes take a lot longer, but that is to be expected.

It would be nice if Windows allowed one to assign a process to a core or series of cores (game to core 1, Ripbot to cores 2,3, & 4), but that doesn't seem possible.

Looks like I'll be unchecking that box next time then as I don't play games on my PC; only web browsing which I would imagine won't slow down RipBot much.

I think you'll find doing anything, even web browsing, painfully slow unless you've set "low priority". At least I did.

procesor is your limiting factor for sure, if you had some quad it would be faster hehe.....overclock your e2200@2.2 to at least 3.0ghz and you'll notice faster encoding and fu btw :D:p:p

I just want to say this program is amazing !!!!!!!!! Thank you so much Atak :)
The new AVCHD feature is awesome and works perfectly locking size to either DVD or DVD +R DL
I love the fact you added AVCHD output !!!!!!!!!!! :)
This program has come such a long way since it's first release, i'm so appreciative of this work and software.
Also with this new version it seems to encode 10-20% faster then the last release when running after a freshly installed win 7 X64 7100 :)

You did? So, RipBot still allows cropping? (other than 720p, 1080p are not supported in AVCHD). Frankly, when I saw the AVCHD option on images posted here, I didn't update any more, thinking you'd abandonned cropping.

[Atak_Snajpera]

AVCHD , Bluray do not allow cropped video. m2ts is just a container not format/structure

Hey Atak_Snajpera, there a bug in RipBot264v1.14.0 & RipBot264v1.14.1, that hang on Please wait... Extracting frame & also crash avs2avi. after some test i found out the problem & it's both RipBot264v1.14.0 & RipBot264v1.14.1 that make Please wait... Extracting frame hang & make the avs2avi crash. i also try RipBot264v1.13.3 & it has no problem's what so ever since it don't use Extracting frame. the problem can be fix by taking off Extracting frame.

[andyd2k]

Why are ac3 or dts options not available as options when I have mkv selected?

[Atak_Snajpera]

@blindbandit
Does it happen with all files (.mkv , mp4 , .avi , ...) ? I suspect that there is something wrong in your system because I have absolutely no problems.

@andyd2k
free dts encoder does not exist. 2.0 ac3 is not available for mkv because AAC and OGG offer better quality at lower bitrate.

Yup it was the ffshow June 1, 2009 that made ripbot264 crash in 1.14.0 & 1.14.1. see even someone said that they had issue & i was right :)

How do I handle anamorphic video with ripbot? I've searched all through the thread and forum and can't seem to find a definite answer. Thanks

[Cela]

Being new to RipBot and after using RipBot264 v1.14.1 for some hours this afternoon, may I express my admiration for this even for a beginner very easy to use program :)

and ask some questions:
1. What is a fair compromise between computation time and keeping as much as possible from the input quality for 720x480 NTSC or 720x576 PAL h.264 output which should be played in AVCHD mode via a PS3, upscaled by the PS3 to 1920x1080 and routed to a 37" (or bigger) LCD screen?
1.1 For this goal is video profile "[High 4.0] HD, BluRay, Consoles" adequat?
1.2 Is CQ 22 ok or should I take CQ 20 or CQ 18? (space is not so important)
1.3 Is audio profile "2.0 CT AAC-LC 128 kbps [abr]" really sufficient to reproduce the audio input "lpcm 16 bit 48 kHz" properly? (I normally keep the audio as "lpcm" for output or convert to "2.0 ac3 448 kbps".) What would be the equivalent AAC bitrate?

2. I get an "Audio TimeStretch problem" when I try to convert the 30 fps input wmv to 720x576 25fps PAL output!
#Tempo
video=AssumeFPS(video,25)
audio=TimeStretch(audio,tempo=25/30*100)
-> No audio / silent audio!!!
An empty/silent audio is produced!

(Conversion to 720x480 29.970 NTSC output seems to work, though.)

3. Picture properties "Size > SD-NTSC 720x480 [1,78:1]" is remembered,
Output Speed "Assume -> 29,970 FPS" is NOT!

4. Audio (relates to question 1.3)
4.1 Selected Video profile can be edited and new one stored, why not same for audio profile?
4.2 Best Audio profile currently is "2.0 AAC-LC 128 kbps [abr]", why not also allow optionally 256 kbps or 448 kbps ?
4.3 Audio profile "2.0 lpcm 16bit 48kHz" why not add it as an option?
4.4 Audio profile "2.0 ac3 16bit 48kHz 448kbps" why not add it as an option?

5. What will happen with real long show, lets assume >5hrs?
When intermediate wav will get > 4GB? (At the very beginning "Please wait, converting audio", before main window will get ready?)

After resolving these questions I could consider to change over to using RipBot instead of MeGUI or NeroVision to produce good footage for multiAVCH.

What do you do exactly? BD -> AVCHD , DVD -> AVCHD or MKV -> AVCHD?


1. What is a fair compromise between computation time and keeping as much as possible from the input quality for 720x480 NTSC or 720x576 PAL h.264 output which should be played in AVCHD mode via a PS3, upscaled by the PS3 to 1920x1080 and routed to a 37" (or bigger) LCD screen?
Do not upscale 720x480 or 720x576! Those resolutions are also supported by Blu-Ray players.

1.1 For this goal is video profile "[High 4.0] HD, BluRay, Consoles" adequat?
Yes

1.2 Is CQ 22 ok or should I take CQ 20 or CQ 18? (space is not so important)
I would start with default CQ22

1.3 Is audio profile "2.0 CT AAC-LC 128 kbps [abr]" really sufficient to reproduce the audio input "lpcm 16 bit 48 kHz" properly? (I normally keep the audio as "lpcm" for output or convert to "2.0 ac3 448 kbps".) What would be the equivalent AAC bitrate?
AAC-LC 128 kbps sounds at least as good as MP3 192 kbps. 448 kbps for stereo is a waste of space! You won't hear difference!

2. I get an "Audio TimeStretch problem" when I try to convert the 30 fps input wmv to 720x576 25fps PAL output!
#Tempo
video=AssumeFPS(video,25)
audio=TimeStretch(audio,tempo=25/30*100)
-> No audio / silent audio!!!
An empty/silent audio is produced!

(Conversion to 720x480 29.970 NTSC output seems to work, though.)

I do not recommend 30 -> 25 conversion! Difference in speed is too big. People will be talking tooooo slooow... I would leave default 30 fps.

4.1 Selected Video profile can be edited and new one stored, why not same for audio profile?
4.3 Audio profile "2.0 lpcm 16bit 48kHz" why not add it as an option?

I see reason

4.2 Best Audio profile currently is "2.0 AAC-LC 128 kbps [abr]", why not also allow optionally 256 kbps or 448 kbps ?
4.4 Audio profile "2.0 ac3 16bit 48kHz 448kbps" why not add it as an option?
AAC-LC 128 kbps > MP3 192 kbps . 256 and 448(!!!) is a waste of space (Yes I know I just repeated my self)

5. What will happen with real long show, lets assume >5hrs?
When intermediate wav will get > 4GB? (At the very beginning "Please wait, converting audio", before main window will get ready?)
Instead of .wav I use .w64 (wave64). It can be > 4GB

After resolving these questions I could consider to change over to using RipBot instead of MeGUI or NeroVision to produce good footage for multiAVCH.
Frankly I don't care if you use my gui or other.

[delanejenkins]

Thanks for the reply Atak. I'm asking about DVD to mkv. I also do bluray to mkv but I haven't had any issues with that so far

[Atak_Snajpera]

If RipBot264 detects 16:9 source and your output resolution is 720x576 , 704x576 , 720x480 or 704x480 final mkv will be encoded as anamorphic. Proper --sar value will be added to x264 command line.

[delanejenkins]

So do I need to crop then resize to 720x 480 in order for this to happen or can this be done without having to resize?

[Atak_Snajpera]

DVD PAL uses 720x576 and DVD NTSC uses 720x480 so you don't have to do anything.

[delanejenkins]

Atak, I apologize if I'm being dense here but what do you mean by "you don't have to do anything". Do you mean I should just load the video and encode as is without cropping out black bars or resizing?

[buzzqw]

by default RipBot264 will not crop and will not resize

BHH

[Atak_Snajpera]

Do you mean I should just load the video and encode as is without cropping out black bars or resizing?
a) If you want anamorphic video then do not change original DVD resolution
b) If you do not want anamorphic video then crop black borders and select Custom size with locked aspect ratio

I have been looking through the posting and have seen several questions asked on this (and have tried all the answers, but no luck so far).

I have used Ripbot on Windows XP in the past, and am now just trying out Ripbot264 1.14.1 (and also 13.3.3) on Windows 7 RC 7100 64-bit. Unfortunately, regardless of what I do, I keep getting "AviSource: Could not decompress frame 0" when trying to read from a divx/xvid files (I have tried many). I am trying to transcode this for iPhone and PSP. I have installed:
* Avisynth 2.58
* ffdshow 2968 clsid 64bit
* ffdshow 2975 clsid x86
* MatroskaSplitter (x86 version)

and have also used Win7DSFilterTweaker 1.0 to reassigned decoding of Xvid and DivX to ffdshow. Playback works when playing from MPC, but no such luck on the getinfo.avs with the error message above.

If you have successfully got this installed on Windows 7 RC 64-bit, please can you share how you did the install? BTW, mkv works fine with Ripbot - just not DivX and Xvid...

Thanks!

[Atak_Snajpera]

I keep getting "AviSource: Could not decompress frame 0"
This error has nothing to do with windows version. I had this few times in past. Remuxing to .mkv should help.

[delanejenkins]

Thanks atak. That's exactly what I was asking. Thanks for a great program!

... Frankly I don't care if you use my gui or other.But I do! I like your GUI! Its far more intuitive to use than other. By the way, after having done 3 fairly big jobs I like it even more.

In the meantime I found out how to modify queued jobs to change some parameters which I currently cannot modify in the GUI. But i would prefer to do the following settings in the GUI:
1. Set CQ to "--crf 16" and/or "--crf 14" in "job1_EncodeVideoPass1.cmd" (I aim for >= 4000 Kbps video bitrate and with CRF=18 currently get < 3000 Kbps)
2. Set "-b 448" in "job1_EncodeAudio.cmd"
(just have noticed that the initial audio profile "2.0 CT AAC-LC 128 kbps [abr]" gets set to "2.0 Aften AC3 256 kbps [cbr]" after selectin AVCHD output; I normally use 448 kbps)
3. Set "--auto-chapters=3" in "tsmuxer.meta" (I normally use 3 min chapter intervals)

These settings may be weird and overkill but I would like to have the option to use them.
Do you see a chance to offer these settings in your GUI?

... I do not recommend 30 -> 25 conversion! Difference in speed is too big. People will be talking tooooo slooow... I would leave default 30 fps.
....
DVD PAL uses 720x576 and DVD NTSC uses 720x480 so you don't have to do anything.Does this include that 720x480 does not need 29.970 NTFS and 720x576 does not need PAL 25 fps framerate to be blu-ray / AVCHD compliant and I could use the 30 fps of the original input footage for both frame sizes? That would be real good news!

What does the audio option "X,X Copy STREAM ???" mean? Is it what VirtualDub would call "Direct stream copy" ?

Is it possible to store all selected settings as a personal profile for reuse in next sessions without needing to redo these settings at every session start again?
Would boost ease of use if you have, lets say, a hundred of similar footings to treat in the same way in the corse of a year or so.

Thanks for your patience with me newbie and for your great program!

Oh my god :) Wouldn't be easier to enter value 16 in gui? :) BTW. Instead of aiming for bitrate you should aim for quality! 4Mbps for SD sounds crazy for me. Also 448kbps for stereo is crazy as well. I really don't understand your way of thinking in this case.

At least PS3 doesn't care about that :) You will have to do some test on your Blu-Ray player.

P.S.
Another weird question:
"Please Wait... Demuxing audio stream..." can take a long time! And means tiresome waiting to finish before being able to go on configuring the batch job.
And same for next, and next,...

Cannot it be queued like other processing steps and let do the user the GUI configurations first?

Dear Atak Snajpera
I was thinking if the iPod profile will work on this mp3 player
http://images.bestbuy.com/BestBuy_US/images/products/9341/9341312_sb.jpg
That the Sony Walkman X series btw & it can do 320x240 AVC (H.264/AVC) at 768k@30fps & MPEG-4 at 2500k but in a later update firmware can do 472x240 on the screen in video or something like that.

hey Atak, dunno if someone asked it before and i didnt see in the first page or somewhere on the forum,

@Blackwalker and @blindBandit you guys encoding for mp3 and iphone did you use audio normalize setting 200% ?
I know it makes a HUGE difference when i'm encoding for my PSP.
If you guys didn't know for portable handhelds use the normalize setting I think is wise.

[GamingDaemon]

Hello All,

Yes, this is my first post.

So, I have been using RipBot264 to create .mp4 files of a number of Blu-Ray and HD-DVD movies, which I then stream to my XBOX 360. I am quite happy.

But (you knew there was going to be a but) ...

For some movies, once I select all of the encoding settings, the number of frames shrinks dramatically such that instead of RipBot taking 5 to 6 hours, it takes 20 or 30 minutes and produces just the first 5 to 10 minutes of the film.

Why is this happening? And what can I do to make it rip the entire movie?

Thanks in advance!

I have run into a problem with doing a mkv to mp4 conversion. I have some mkv files I created with RipBot264 and wanted to convert them down to iphone compatible mp4s. Well, when I go to load the file in RipBot264, RipBot demuxes the audio and then says "Please Wait While Gathering Info...." and then just hangs. I can adjust audio settings during this time, but video is not adjustable. Now, I am running Win7 x64 and had a similar problem when ripping VC-1 files, but that has since been rectified. Any ideas? I would really like to get some of these files converted for my son to watch...

I have run into a problem with doing a mkv to mp4 conversion. I have some mkv files I created with RipBot264 and wanted to convert them down to iphone compatible mp4s. Well, when I go to load the file in RipBot264, RipBot demuxes the audio and then says "Please Wait While Gathering Info...." and then just hangs. I can adjust audio settings during this time, but video is not adjustable. Now, I am running Win7 x64 and had a similar problem when ripping VC-1 files, but that has since been rectified. Any ideas? I would really like to get some of these files converted for my son to watch...

So since I posted this I have tried some other import manners other than just trying to add the mkv. First, I have tried movies in both mp4 and mkv format with the same results. I have also attempted to manually demux both and add the video file as a separate mkv with the same result. It appears that the problem is something more fundamental. I have noticed that ffdshow does not load during the demux stage or the "Please wait while gathering info...". Is that normal?

[Atak_Snajpera]

What is your current OS? Win XP , Vista or 7? What language did you set in OS?

[Balthazar2k4]

What is your current OS? Win XP , Vista or 7? What language did you set in OS?

Well, it turns out I am an idiot. I made a change to the RipBot264.ini yesterday and didn't realize I misspelled the default profile. Well, that was causing RipBot to hang. I finally figured it out when it couldn't encode a BluRay today and it was working yesterday morning. Then I remembered tinkering in the ini file and voila.

Thanks for your time and sorry for the false alarm.

[Balthazar2k4]

I do have a question regarding audio normalization. I have never been able to get it to work. Anytime I set it to either 100% or 200% with AAC audio and go to start the encode RipBot just hangs. It never starts the encode. Is there a secret I am missing?

[Atak_Snajpera]

You must wait longer.

[Balthazar2k4]

You must wait longer.

Is that punishment for asking a stupid question previously? :rolleyes:

I had waited before, but I guess not long enough. Thanks, works brilliantly.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Normalize function must scan whole audio file in order to set maximum safe volume. It takes some time depending of movie duration and speed of your CPU.

[tormento]

There is a strange behaviour related to CoreAVC in conjunction to Ripbot: if I use hardware AVC decoding, after let's say 25% of 1st pass, the Ripbot window freeze and so does the tray icon. However, if you go with the mouse on the brown circle, it shows an increasing percentage and the encoding process goes on.

My system is Windows7 7100 RC x64, Nvidia 8600GTS and I7 920 OC to 3.33GHz. I know that FFDShow could be faster to decode AVC but having some CPU power left is useful..

[Balthazar2k4]

Normalize function must scan whole audio file in order to set maximum safe volume. It takes some time depending of movie duration and speed of your CPU.

It appears I was a little premature in my celebration. I just tried converting an mp4 with 6 channel aac to an iphone compatible mp4 with 2 channel aac with 200% normalize. When I start the encode Ripbot skips the audio and start encoding the video directly. The previous file I tried was an mkv with flac and that worked fine.

any chance of supporting dga files and allowing the use of hardware de interlacing as megui currently does?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Are you talking about DG NV tools?

[deets]

Are you talking about DG NV tools?

yep, DGAVCDecNV from neuron2. I can use megui to create an avisynth and use nvidia hardware deinterlacing, which is great quality and may speed up the encoding process.

just wondered if that could be incorporated into ripbot in a similar fashion as im back to PSP encoding and want to convert my interlaced HD caps :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Main problem is I don't have NVidia card. BTW is there any trial version?

just wondered if that could be incorporated into ripbot in a similar fashion as im back to PSP encoding and want to convert my interlaced HD caps
Why don't you use internal deinterlacer (Yadif). You won't see difference on PSP.

[deets]

Main problem is I don't have NVidia card. BTW is there any trial version?


Why don't you use internal deinterlacer (Yadif). You won't see difference on PSP.

ah yeah that is a problem :) i dont think there is a trial, although i cant be 100% sure. although i would gladly pay for your copy if you did ever want it.

oh yep i do use yadif and your right, the PSP is hardly going to show up any differences in quality. I do think it speeds things up considerably though as the de interlacing is all done on the GPU and frees up the CPU. When your converting the 2 hour 50fps england game from ITV HD, the extra 10fps makes a difference!

although i must confess i have not done full like for like testing in megui hardware vs ripbot software, maybe i should....

I had already created a new trimmed encode, but thanks anyways (good to know for future use). I have sent you a link to the sample via PM.

[deets]

just did a quick test in megui, one using hardware deinterlacing and one using yadif. both used exactly the same script and settings, apart from deinterlacing method. a 10 min clip of the tennis. software was 34.88 FPS and hardware was 55.49 FPS...

will do ripbot specific tests and see if its that great as well, in theory should be :eek:

[deets]

yep just did some test using ripbot and it was very similar using yadif, around the mid 30FPS. cant load up my dga avs into ripbot to see how that fairs sadly

[Ga1j1n]

Atak,

Noticed a new Bug with v1.14.1, Sunshine BR UK would reach the end of the extraction process and delete the video.mkv, v1.13.3 completes fine.

Most likely related to the latest version of eac3to included, just FYI really

Thanks again for the awsome GUI

By the way for other Win7 users info this tool replaces the need to manually edit the registry to fix the VC1 FFDSHOW issue (I know you are already aware of this Atak)

[Luger9mm]

this is my first post as up to the last few days i have used your software w/o a problem since it was first developed. so thank you for taking your time to develop such an outstanding and stable piece of software. easy to use and VERY useful.

about a week ago, out of the blue, i began receiving the following error. tried reverting back to an older version of your software and even updated to v1.14.1 and it still occurs.

i googled the error, and searched this thread but could not find any answer. any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.

Hi Atak,

I have an trouble with version 1.14.1, 1.13.3 and 1.13.1. I have installed right now ffdshow clsid 2992, avisynth 2.5.8.

i convert an mkv HD 1080P, already 23.98, 1980x8xx and audio is out of sync on preview, and same when project is done. when i change "xx copy stream" for 256kbps the max available is the same. The time movie is 2 sec difference between the video and audio.

The mkv source is sync. Can you help me with this case please? Thanks for you time!

You need very fast cpu in order to have preview in sync for fullHD.
At the moment I can suggest this:
1) Install ffdshow 2975 and enable ffmpeg-mt (multithreaded decoder) decoder for h.264
2) Check audio sync in preview without modifing anything (Resize OFF!)
3) if delay is constant adjust manually audio delay in gui (last page)

yep just did some test using ripbot and it was very similar using yadif, around the mid 30FPS.
If think this is because yadif is single threaded. x264 probably waits longer for data. Is CPU utilization the same in both cases?

Noticed a new Bug with v1.14.1, Sunshine BR UK would reach the end of the extraction process and delete the video.mkv, v1.13.3 completes fine.
What does eac3to log say?

By the way for other Win7 users info this tool replaces the need to manually edit the registry to fix the VC1 FFDSHOW issue (I know you are already aware of this Atak)

since 1.14.0
Added: FFdshow will be automatically set as preffered directshow decoder for H.264/VC-1/MPEG-2 in Windows 7 (thanks clsid for help with SetACL)

@Luger9mm
I cannot see your screenshot so I can only suggest to reinstall AviSynth , FFDshow 2975 (recommended) and Haali Media Splitter.

[gohamstergo]

i think i know why 8ternity's audio is out of sync and the same is happening to me, when i render out a 23.98 movie and tell ripbot to not change the framerate, it is still converting to 29.97, hence to movie is playing too fast and the audio gets further and further out of sync..

also another question, what are the requirements for "xxCopy Stream" to appear? I've noticed it doesnt always show up since moving to 1.14.1.

[Atak_Snajpera]

also another question, what are the requirements for "xxCopy Stream" to appear? I've noticed it doesnt always show up since moving to 1.14.1.
Audio must be supported by container. mp4 allows only .aac. AVCHD - AC3 , DTS , LPCM (.wav). MKV supports alot more - OGG , AAC , AC3 and so on.

If think this is because yadif is single threaded. x264 probably waits longer for data. Is CPU utilization the same in both cases?
I was right. I took Canon hf100 footage , set yadif deintrlacer -> 50 fps , Size -> PSP , PSP profile
without AviSynth MT i had 33.42 fps , with MT i got 46.75 fps

[gohamstergo]

does mkv support uncompressed pcm?

and any idea why my 23.98 converts are being rendered at 29.97 even tho i have it set to ignore framerate? it used to work fine, i have no idea what changed.

[Atak_Snajpera]

You have to provide logs / eac3to log , screenshots and so on

[gohamstergo]

actually, i think i can fix the frame rate problem, but i still cant get a "TrueHD" audio track to allow xxCopy Stream on either mkv or mp4. is there a way to force it to do so?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Select FLAC and mkv

[leemjas]

I have run into a problem with doing a mkv to AVCHD conversion when using switchable subtitles with 14.1.

With version 13.3 I just add the addborders command in the case where a video is not 1280 x 720 or 1920 x 1080 and then I add the switchable subtitles normaly.

In the case of 14.1 when I add the "addborders" and then try to select subtitles it comes with a
message saying AVCHD should be 1280 x 720 even though I addressed that with the "addborders"

What am I doing wrong?

[Blackwalker]

hi atak
i have some problems converting any file HD ".mov" into the iPhone format!
The Video is super-perfect, the audio is perfect "But" the volume is lowwwwww!
how is possible??

thx!

updated:

this happen only when the source file (HD file ".mov") have both "2.0 AAC" and "5.1 AAC" audio!
If the source file have only the "2.0 AAC" profile, its fine!
strange!!!

[deets]

so im guessing dga incorporating is a hope too far as you dont have an nvidia card?

[gohamstergo]

Select FLAC and mkv

Now I'm getting "This stream uses too many audio channels" in VLC when I select flac. The audio is 7.1...

[Atak_Snajpera]

Get rid of VLC and download MPC-HC

[gohamstergo]

in ripbot, is the language selector only used to label the audio, as opposed to actually changing anything?

[Atak_Snajpera]

MPC-HC still plays no audio... it seems to know what kind of audio it is though..

problem solved! your screenshot got me well on my way. When i had ffdshow downmix to 5.1 it sounded strange so i downloaded the latest alpha version that has 7.1 decoding and left it on that. since i have a 7.1 sound card but no side speakers, the 5.1 comes out clean! thanks for keepin the noobs happy.

[tormento]

There is a strange behaviour related to CoreAVC in conjunction to Ripbot: if I use hardware AVC decoding, after let's say 25% of 1st pass, the Ripbot window freeze and so does the tray icon. However, if you go with the mouse on the brown circle, it shows an increasing percentage and the encoding process goes on.

My system is Windows7 7100 RC x64, Nvidia 8600GTS and I7 920 OC to 3.33GHz. I know that FFDShow could be faster to decode AVC but having some CPU power left is useful..

*bump*

[B2K24]

@leemjas maybe the quoted messages will help with your problem

You did? So, RipBot still allows cropping? (other than 720p, 1080p are not supported in AVCHD). Frankly, when I saw the AVCHD option on images posted here, I didn't update any more, thinking you'd abandonned cropping.

AVCHD , Bluray do not allow cropped video. m2ts is just a container not format/structure

I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ (3.20GHZ x2) and an Direct-X10 video card of 512MB GDDR4 PCI-E video card, also 2x2GB Dual 800MHZ kit. normally i have no problem at all with preview in 1080P.

I will install and make thease settings and let u know when everything is ok.

Anyway we can start adding some common questions to the first post?

For example, I am wondering the best way to remove the black bars and have my ripped bluerays to mkv fit my entire screen.

Do I do an autocrop, and then set HD-Full for the resolution?

I am pretty sure this has been answered before, but I couldn't find it.

[gohamstergo]

For example, I am wondering the best way to remove the black bars and have my ripped bluerays to mkv fit my entire screen.

You realize how much of the movie youre missing by chopping off the sides? Movies arent made in 16:9, clearly, so by chopping off the sides you are going to lose a lot of details.

[mackworth]

Your realize how much of the movie youre missing by chopping off the sides? Movies arent made in 16:9, clearly, so by chopping off the sides you are going to lose a lot of details.

Well, like when they broadcast a movie on HD, like on HBO HD and stuff, how are they formatting the movie.

[howzz]

There really needs to be a sub-forum for Ripbot.

I just tried the FLAC codec encoding option for ripping one of my blu-rays. and so far i got it to work and played. my questions is

1. does playing FLAC equipped MKV file through FFDshow require any tweaking on the FFDshow part? i currently only have "mixer" checked and set to 5 channels + LFE because that's what my speaker is setup to (5.1) and it's always been set to that way for playing all my other MKV files with ac3/dts streams that i created in the past. Some guy on this forum mentioned before something about down-mixing problems through playing FLAC in FFDshow, i just wanna double check that i am doing all the right thing.

as i understand FLAC is the closest as we can get to true source Lossless audio experience by far with Ripbot at least. it's not TrueHD or DTS-HD, but hey.... it's as good as it gets, i am not complaining too much.

FLAC is lossless codec so quality is EXACTLY the same as TrueHD and DTS-HD. Moreover flac offers higher compression. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1294403#post1294403

that was me who mentioned the problem. It happened when downmixing 7.1 to 5.1 but since playing 7.1 sound the same as 5.1 without the side speakers, i just left it at 7.1. You shouldnt have to tweak anything. I installed fresh and by default it is set to Mixer enabled at 7.1+LFE.

I also only use FLAC when the xxCopy Stream option isnt already available with the raw ac3/dts already on disc. I think the problem i was having is TrueHD (Dolby), DTS-HD Master, and raw PCM arent supported raw in MKVs, so thats the only time i use flac. but thats a personal preference.

i have some problems converting any file HD ".mov" into the iPhone format!
The Video is super-perfect, the audio is perfect "But" the volume is lowwwwww!
how is possible??

thx!

updated:

this happen only when the source file (HD file ".mov") have both "2.0 AAC" and "5.1 AAC" audio!
If the source file have only the "2.0 AAC" profile, its fine!
strange!!!

atak any idea why the volume is so low when i convert a source
file HD ".mov" into the iPhone format onlu when the file have both "2.0 AAC" and "5.1 AAC" audio??
thx

Was wondering...why doesnt ripbot/ffdshow make use of ones video card for additional rendering power?

[aeroliteflyer]

I am having a little issue with ripbot maybe someone could help me with. Great program, has done everything I needed it to. I have the latest 1.14.1. I am converting from .vob to 264 for iphone, and works great. However, on one movie when I encoded it, it was cycling between different audio languages. I went to redo it and checked the preview a little closer and it is definately cycling between the audio languages. It will do a few seconds of english, then replay with a different langugage so on.... It is star wars III, and even on the first few seconds when the text is scrolling up on the openeing scene, it will display a litle english, then go back and display a little spanish, then go back and keep doing this. On another movie it encoded some previews first then the main movie. I looked at all the settings and cant figure for the life of me what to do. I tried changeing the audio track, didn't help. When I select the movie, i select the .vob with the biggest size, but i pick the first .vob in that series. so if the movie is .vob_7_1 i pick the lowest _7 .vob in that series like .vob_7_0, that didn't seem to help. I also picked the movie itself and that didn't help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[greggerm]

> Was wondering...why doesnt ripbot/ffdshow make use of ones video card for additional rendering power?

That is more up to the real brains behind the show... the x264 encoder itself. Writing code for using the GPU shaders is a pretty specialized process.... and there is also the different code involved for different brands of cards (nV vs. ATI).

FFDShow is just a tool used to "decode" the existing video into something that x264 can encode. It really doesn't suck too much computing power as compared to the encoder itself.

Ripbot is just a front-end to make all these tools work nicely together.

ATAK: Thanks for the 1.14.1 update - I was having difficulties with the W64 implementation, and having FLAC back is a huge help for me. (HD-DVD encodes were choking on the W64 part of things, and I couldn't convert the W64 to anything else. Now that FLAC is back, my audio is useful once again!) Thanks!!

Sounds like the video has angles in it...

Using anydvd with dvd decryptor in ifo mode. This will allow you to get the result you are looking for...

Ripping it this way will produce one VOB file 3~6GB in size (pendent on video) and will contain the correct audio...

I have had this problem only with multi angle videos...

If you choose to use file mode you may want to make sure the settings are set to retain the first angle.

@greg: ah, well i just meant whatever the encoder was should use the gpu, but it must be too difficult since they havent done it by now :P

@greg: ah, well i just meant whatever the encoder was should use the gpu, but it must be too difficult since they havent done it by now :P

The GPU is a great platform for only one thing and that is Processing vertices for 3D Rendering and game play.
They were never meant to be a data processing platform for video encoding.
So to expect it to have that capability in in it self dumb.
I think it a sad thing that the video card companies like nvidia and ati are trying to get CPU power out of GPU's that were made for nothing of the sort. :p

if i normalize (100% or 200%) with iphone i dont
hear nothing :(

i'll try to upload a sample on mediafire.
(ps: its ok on rapidshare?)

thx atak!!!!

Hi just to note that i am still having problems with 1.14.1 and DTS oversizing, I have had a look through the thread and cannot see a download for 1.14.2 version with the DTS Bug fix.

Could some kind soul point me in the right direction.

Thank you.

No such fix exists yet whether or not it gets fixed is up to Atak.

The thread has the current version in the title. When the app is updated the title is updated to reflect it. The first post will have the link to the updated version.

[Digi]

I've already fixed this in my 1.14.2. Bug was cased by latest MediaInfo. Older version was always rounding DTS bitrate to 1536000 bps but latest mediainfo detects more precisely. Real bitrate for DTS is in fact smaller (~1510000 bps). My calculation formula was looking for 1536000 bps instead of something between 1509000 bps 1510000 bps.

BTW. is it possible to install Arcsoft DTS decoder without whole TMT package


Is this a joke?


Select TrueHD or PCM. After demuxing select AVCHD then Select x.x copy audio stream

Thanks for the help but as Atak already posted quoted above i thought the 1.14.2 version was available. Obviously not therefore i await Atak's next release with the DTS bug fix:)

No problem i shall revert back to 1.13 as this release has no problems with DTS tracks.

Thanks again

[gohamstergo]

how much of a size difference would this oversizing cause, say, for a 2 hour file? ive recently done a few dts encodes with 1.14.1 and noticed the filesizes a lot bigger than normal but havent been able to figure out why.

another possibility ive thought of, is that grainy blurays (from older movie transfers) maybe make the encoder use a higher bitrate to try and reproduce all the graininess to match the original. what do others think of this?

[hoju3508]

v1.14.2
Added: Blu-Ray subtitles (.Sup) are now supported in Properties -> Subtitles section (Hardcoded subtitles)


I thought this has been available since 1.13.0 or is this related to harcoded subs?



Added: Demuxing all subtitles at once
Fixed: DTS size calculation for AVCHD
Fixed: All empty temp folders will be removed



:thanks:

[Digi]

v1.14.2
Added: DTS Master Audio and Hi-Res conversion to wave or FLAC (ArcSoft DTS Decoder required! More help in \tools\ax\ArcSoft DTS Decoder\Readme.txt)
Added: Blu-Ray subtitles (.Sup) are now supported in Properties -> Subtitles section (Hardcoded subtitles)
Added: Demuxing all subtitles at once
Fixed: DTS size calculation for AVCHD
Fixed: if order in job list was changed during conversion checkboxes were not assigned to current encoding job
Fixed: incorrect --sar values if source had aspect ratio higher than 1.33 and lower than 1.56 (for example 624x464)
Fixed: All empty temp folders will be removed
Fixed: .avs scripts did not work in RipBot264 with AviSynth 2.5.8
Fixed: AVCHD incompatible resolution error even if video has correct resolution
Update: DGindex 1.5.5, BDSup2Sub 3.9.3, MediaInfo 0.7.17, x264 r1169




Thank You Atak :thanks:

[Balthazar2k4]

Atak thanks for the DTS Master Audio Support! That will definitely take a few extra steps out of my encoding process. I did notice in the changelog that nothing is mentioned regarding the non working audio normalization from 5.1 AAC to 2.0 AAC. I am guessing you haven't figured that one out yet?

[Ajax_Undone]

The installer has been updated.

[deets]

ah cool, so it was a bug preventing avs scripts from working, not a DGAVCIndex problem, now my dga avs encodes all work just fine :)

[mikelebron]

Seems ripbot is not detecting the latest 3013 64 bit build version... Any recommendations? See attached file

[Atak_Snajpera]

You should use 32 bit version.

[Ajax_Undone]

The x264_x64 bit hasn't been working in the last couple of builds... Do you have knowledge of what is causing this.

[deets]

you changing the use 64 bit to 1 in the ini? I have a 64 bit encode running at the mo with no issues :)

[mikelebron]

You should use 32 bit version.


can I have the 32 bit version and 64 bit version on the same machine? Im using the 64 bit version as this is the only 64 bit flac decoder that works in Win 7 MC

Guys... I want to re-encode all my DVDs to save space BUT I dont want to lose any quality; and if can improve. What settings do you recommend? Also is there a way to batch do this?

[hoju3508]

The original sup (4_Subtitles_English.sup = 23.6 MB) became smaller in size and two lines got whacked (4_Subtitles_English_1080p.sup = 21.7 MB) after adding it to the job.

Yes I have it seems that all it does is crash...
When I run the command inside a command prompt it says that it cannot find the avs Script.

[Ajax_Undone]

has it? i still see the old version..:confused:

Hmmm its v1.14.2 that is the latest...

bt I checked it out it turns out that one or more of mf data servers has not yet updated. I don't know what is causing the glich but i have referred it to the support team at mf...

So just click the link and see if its the version you want. If not then close and try again...

Whenever I try to load a video in RipBot, it hangs up on gathering information. Nothing appears to be running from RipBot anymore (Haali and FFDShow icons are gone from tray). I looked in the temp directory and the info.txt and chapters.txt files are empty, so I tried to load the two avs scripts in Media Player Classic. job1.avs comes out with "The script's return value was not a video clip". getinfo.avs throws a failed to find a connectable filter with the following:

Everything is up to date (according to the pre-check) except FFDShow. Thats next on my list, but I doubt it will help as I have had this problem with the last several versions of RipBot (where I had updated everything it said to). I believe there is something either somehow uninstalled or missing or misconfigured on my end, but I have no idea what.

The previous video (and many more like it) were all h.264 with aac or ac3 audio. I also tried an xvid with mp3 audio and this time RipBot showed the Media Player Classic window with the text "AviSource: Could not decompress frame 0 (E:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line2)". I am not positive, but would assume these issues are related.

Any help would be greatly appreciated (I really miss using RipBot for conversions).

[Atak_Snajpera]

1) Uninstall AviSynth , haali Media Splitter and ffdshow
2) reboot
3) Install Avisynth 2.5.8 , Haali media splitter and ffdshow 32 bit (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173941&package_id=199416&release_id=439904)
4) reboot

[Hyrax]

Where can I find more information about subtitles. There is something I obviously do not quite understand about them and I'd like to figure them out. Basically, I don't see how one adds them to the project so they will appear optionally.

I've got .sub, .style, .idx, and .sup files in the job1 folder and can get subtitles to be hard coded to appear permanently, but don't see how to add them in a way so that I can have the option to turn them on or off during playback.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

[hoju3508]

@Atak,

Depends which container you intend to use, MKV's support seperate subs MP4's do not, also depends on what you intend to playback with, not all devices support subtitle switching (Pc's obviously do, try VLC for simplicity)

I will leave it others with regard to AVCHD as I have no experience there...

[hoju3508]

For AVCHD, click on the subtitle button and add the subtitle. All of mine are selectable and not hard coded.

[Markanski]

Hi guys! I'm trying to convert an mkv file to an AVCHD disk. The mkv contains 5 channel AC-3 (codec A_AC3). I'd like to retain the 5 channels at a lower bitrate but Ripbot only displays options for downmixing to 2 channels or stream copy?

[setarip_old]

@Markanski

Hi!

If "RipBot" can't do this for you, you might try "AVCHDCoder"...

[Atak_Snajpera]

The mkv contains 5 channel AC-3 (codec A_AC3)
Where did you get this weird mkv???

[JohnnyB.Good]

Hi, I just selected to encode subtitles and selected the sup file from job1, picked 2-pass encoding, avchd and 8150 files size however the resulting file is only 463MB.

I used tsmuxer to view the resulting file and it ignored selected tracks and only the AC3 file remains, apparently the encoding of the video never took place. The other 2 movies that were on the list without the sup option encoded fine.

[prettyboy85712]

Post your log file

[Comatose]

Posting on behalf of a friend (the 5 day wait thingie):

I queue a video to be converted from .flv (off of youtube) to be converted to .mp4 and when I click start, it takes about 2 seconds to say "file converted" but it never showed the progress or anything. The file it supposedly converted is also non-existant in the specified directory

Thanks for your attention!

[8ternity]

Hi Atak,

I have an question for you. I have convert an m2ts movies to AVCHD with Nero Vision and the fast foward movie is working 100%. Did you know how fix ripbot264 for working the same? because ripbot264 in FF is skip 2-3sec in 3-4 seconds. Fast Foward is painful on PS3, Samsung Blu-Ray and Sony blu-ray home player.

Thanks for you time and hard work.:)

[gohamstergo]

searched, but didnt find anything...

is there a way to include multiple angles (from a bluray) in an mkv file?

[Przemek_Sperling]

Thank you for creating RipBot264, an outstanding tool which I find definitely the best. I have tested many tools (both commercial and freeware) for encoding my DVDs and RipBot264 is IMO the most intuitive AND gives the best results. I will be glad if I will be able to donate some money for future development and as a kind of appreciation.
:thanks:

Świetna robota, Atak!

[wolfbane5]

I recently updated to v1.14.2 and I'm getting x264_x86 errors on random occasions. I once had the x264 appcrash, and ripbot came back to me saying the conversion had been completed with a total time, but the output file was never created. The next couple encodes both worked fine, so I thought it was a one time thing, but I got another one this morning. However this time, the error occurred at 96% of pass 2 (during the credits of the movie). Once I closed the crash notice, ripbot went and muxed the vid/aud together and I did get an output file. When I ran through it, the video freezes 4 mins before the end of the movie, while the audio still plays.

I found this all very strange.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I recently updated to v1.14.2 and I'm getting x264_x86 errors on random occasions.
Run Prime95 MT (http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/Home-Education/Prime95.shtml) for couple hours to check if your cpu is stable. Then run memtest x86 (http://www.memtest.org/#downiso)for another couple hours.

[binhex]

hi atak, i have recently switched from version 1.13.3 of your app to version 1.14.2 and noticed that every time i tried to add a mkv file to the job queue it would get stuck at the "please wait...gathering informations..." stage. i eventually managed to track this down to my ini file pointing at a non existent profile which i forgot to copy across from the previous version so the issue was completely my fault :-). just a thought, maybe it would be nice to notify the user if they have a missing profile as it took me a while to track it down (tried updating all pre-req's).

other than that, im still loving your app :-), oh yeah one teenie weenie other thing, shouldn't it say "gathering information" not "informations" ??.

[Atak_Snajpera]

shouldn't it say "gathering information" not "informations" ??.
The word "information" does not have plural for in English?

because ripbot264 in FF is skip 2-3sec in 3-4 seconds. Fast Foward is painful on PS3, Samsung Blu-Ray and Sony blu-ray home player.
I tested on my friend's Samsung P1600 eu and fast forward/backward and chapters work almost immediately. I also do not recall any problems on PS3.

[Matthias01]

Hi,

:thanks: for this great tool. Very easy and simple to use. Nice. By the way: where is the donate button in this program? ;-)

Just feedback for further development:
It would be nice if it would be possible to select two audiostreams which will be directly converted/muxed into target file (just nice to save one manual step).

And perhaps you could keep the resolution warning if AVCHD is selected only informational - not forcing the user to change the resolution (reason: maybe some people prefer the cropped *.m2ts from AVCHD folder for streaming directly to PS3)

[binhex]

in a word, no, you could however say "gathering all information" to indicate more than one source perhaps?

[turbojet]

A little potential issue that I haven't seen reported yet is DVD-R DL only holds 8147 MB.

[Atak_Snajpera]

This should not be a problem because +'s are more popular. Besides m2ts is often few megs smaller than selected size.

I was wanting to see if it might be an amplified artifact from the original. Something like a smudge of static being inside the realm of the target htz that might have been seen by the encoder as important there in mapping out in full range.
I have seen this happen with some LP conversions using lame.
Thats all.

But yes do as atak said I am interested in your resulting outcome...

[turbojet]

The slow seeking, chapter jumps also happens on Panasonic BD30. It's the long keyint's, with --keyint 24 seeking/jumping works like it should. I know long gop's help a lot in rare situations but they are a nightmare to some hardware players, powerdvd, windvd (no deblocking after 24 frames from an I frame). Either forcing small gop's with avchd option or a separate option to change this would be much appreciated.

Also directshowsource and dss2 change the framerate of 23.976 inputs which messes up eac3to and possibly 24p on some players, a workaround for this is using assumeFPS(24000,1001). 25, 29.97, 50, 59.94, dgsource, ffmpegsource aren't affected.

[Ajax_Undone]

You can build custom Profiles and set the variables when where and if you like.

The four are there for a run of the mill recode. Not for a "Cause I Have too cause its all there is"

[Atak_Snajpera]

It really does not matter if script contains assumeFPS(24000,1001) or not because I use raw avc as output. fps paramentr is added during muxing to container (23.976)

Regarding short gop I agree with ajax. You can add your own commands to profile. Personally I don't like short gop because it only hurts quality. I do not want to see changes in picture every second due to forced key frames! (x264 developers had good reason to choose 25 - 250 range.)
I would like to see full list of players which like long gop and which do not like them.

x264 --fps only works with raw input which avs2yuv does I did some tests with a 23.976024 (24000/1001) source

default ripbot
x86 - 23.976043
x64 - 23.976000

assumeFPS(24000,1001)
x86 - 23.976024

x264 --fps 24000/1001
x86 - 23.976043
x64 - 23.976024

with x64 --fps 30000/1001 and 60000/1001 are needed for same output as input framerate.

lg bh200
samsung 1500
samsung 1600

doesnt work:
panasonic bd30
panasonic bd35

According to this everything works well if DVD is recorded at 4x speed. Eternity confirm please.

Run Prime95 MT (http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/Home-Education/Prime95.shtml) for couple hours to check if your cpu is stable. Then run memtest x86 (http://www.memtest.org/#downiso)for another couple hours.

What kind of torture test should I run from Prime95 for the cpu?

[Przemek_Sperling]

IMO OCCT Perestroika http://www.ocbase.com/perestroika_en/ is a better stability test. Try CPU Linpack test and run it for several hours (usually an hour is more than enough to detect errors). You will see if the overclocked processor is stable and your cooling system is efficient.

[laserfan]

You can add your own commands to profile.I see the list of x264 options there, but how would one specify Pass 1 vs. Pass 2 options?

[bigggt]

You can build custom Profiles and set the variables when where and if you like.

The four are there for a run of the mill recode. Not for a "Cause I Have too cause its all there is"

Does anyone have optimal settings for Popcorn Hour

As of right now i use the HD , Blu-ray profile with cq 20 at 720p but would love to improve the quality if anyone has a better profile

thanks

Hey guys, Im extremely new here so go easy on me.

I absolutely love the Ripbot program. But now I seem to have a problem when trying to upload files to be Ripbot'd.

When I first started using this program a few days ago, I thought I was in absolute heaven. It did an excellent job in such a short amount of time. Every other program/method I found took forever. So I'm really hoping you guys can help me figure this one out.

So far I have been able to convert about four or five .m2ts files into the .MKV format. But, then I tried again and when I load the file into ripbot and it starts the 'demuxing selected stream' process, after 100% I get this error:

DirectShowSource: couldn't open file C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\video.mkv: An object or name was not found. (C:\tempRipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)

...I searched around on the net and everyone with this same problem did not receiver an answer so I'm asking here. (if already answered elsewhere, please kindly direct me to the answer!) I am getting this problem with EVERY .m2ts file I try now.

So I'm starting to think its one of my programs perhaps? I uninstalled and re-installed up to date versions of everything required to open Ripbot264. (even the newest Ripbot264 v.1.14.2) But still I am getting this error?


everything was going perfect until now. Now I can't get anything to demux. I took the .m2ts file, and used Tsmuxer, then a program called AutoMKV and was able to shrink it that way and it works fine, except it took nearly 24 hours.

I really want to continue using Ripbot264, so if anyone can help me out?? Thanks a million.

[crackinhedz]

I even tried this method mentioned earlier to try to fix:

1) Uninstall AviSynth , haali Media Splitter and ffdshow
2) reboot
3) Install Avisynth 2.5.8 , Haali media splitter and ffdshow 32 bit (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173941&package_id=199416&release_id=439904)
4) reboot

...no luck. :(

[crackinhedz]

ok guys, I think I may have fixed my own problem.

For ***** and giggles, I uninstalled Haali Media Splitter again, and re-installed it.

Now my .mt2s file opens again!!! yay. Strange it didn't work before?



also, a question about my method of encoding.

I like to output the file in .mkv format (why I don't know, I just do! :))

So I use "2 pass 8192 kbps" and keep everything else pretty much the same...1080p etc.

Is 2 pass optimal or is "CQ" better?


another question?

The audio is Dts-HD MA, so instead of "copy stream", if I select CBR 640kbps AC3, would this be the same as if I just wanted the "core" dts track?





...I sure am glad I figured this out. The other methods were just taking too freakin long!

[Atak_Snajpera]

if I select CBR 640kbps AC3, would this be the same as if I just wanted the "core" dts track?
In terms of quality - YES! AC3 640 kbps = DTS 1,5Mbps .

I see the list of x264 options there, but how would one specify Pass 1 vs. Pass 2 options?
extra option will be used i both passes.

Is 2 pass optimal or is "CQ" better?
I see that you don't care about size so use CQ @ 22. It will be faster because second pass is not required.

[crackinhedz]

I see that you don't care about size so use CQ @ 22. It will be faster because second pass is not required.
well, I would like to keep the files between 4-8GB.

I want the best quality possible but I know at that size I will have to sacrifice some quality. But in the end, the files look amazing. You have an excellent program! Thank you so much.

So I can still get a fast/quality 1080p encode using CQ @ 22? Thanks!

[Atak_Snajpera]

You have an excellent program! Thank you so much.
This is just a graphic interface. Thank guys who made x264 encoder not me.

So I can still get a fast/quality 1080p encode using CQ @ 22?
Yep.

[crackinhedz]

I rank it right up there with dvdshrink. An instant must have classic!

[laserfan]

extra option will be used i both passes.If you can add functionality to be able to specify separate Pass 1 and Pass 2 options, then I could use it (where now I just use its super-accurate bitrate calculation feature). :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

If you can add functionality to be able to specify separate Pass 1 and Pass 2 options
why????

[laserfan]

why????Why not? Or is this a trick question???

[Atak_Snajpera]

Why not?
Why yes?

[laserfan]

Why yes?In order to establish custom Profiles that assert different x264 options for Pass 1 vs. Pass 2 e.g. Dark Shikari's suggestions for "Very High Quality", "High Quality", etc. as he posted here on this board:

Here's a revised set of encoding options with first-pass parameters for each. Since "Very High" is using b-adapt 2, I used slower settings on the first pass so that people wouldn't complain about it only using 50% of their CPU... . It should also give a more accurate bit distribution, albeit the speed cost isn't worth it for any of the others.

Firstpass: --subme 7 --me hex --bframes 3 --b-adapt 2 --8x8dct --direct auto --weightb --threads auto
Very High Quality: --subme 9 --me umh --ref 4 --bframes 3 --b-adapt 2 --mixed-refs --8x8dct --direct auto --trellis 1 --weightb --threads auto --psy-rd 1.0:0.2
Description: Everything and the kitchen sink, but no insane settings.

Firstpass: --subme 2 --me dia --bframes 3 --direct auto --weightb --threads auto --partitions none
High Quality: --subme 7 --me umh--ref 3 --bframes 3 --direct auto --8x8dct --weightb --trellis 1 --threads auto --psy-rd 1.0:0.2
Description: A good balance.

Firstpass: --subme 2 --me dia --bframes 3 --direct auto --weightb --threads auto --partitions none
Medium Quality: --subme 6 --me hex --ref 2 --bframes 3 --direct auto --8x8dct --weightb --threads auto
Description: A good balance, but toned down a bit.

Firstpass: --subme 0 --me dia --bframes 3 --direct auto --weightb --threads auto --partitions none
Low Quality: --subme 3 --me hex --bframes 3 --8x8dct --weightb --threads auto
Description: Much faster, but with a significant quality penalty.

Firstpass: None
Ultra-Low Quality: --subme 1 --me dia --partitions i8x8,i4x4 --bframes 3 --8x8dct --threads auto
Description: Even faster, but with a very large quality penalty.

Firstpass: None
Ultra-Fast: --subme 0 --no-cabac --partitions none --me dia --aq-mode 0
Description: Incredibly fast, but with an enormous quality penalty.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Wouldn't be simpler to just disable fast first pass?? Edit ini.

Try to replace old ffmpeg.exe with newer revision
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=205275&package_id=248632Used your link. Now, less clicks, but still clicks! See below.

I was wanting to see if it might be an amplified artifact from the original. Something like a smudge of static being inside the realm of the target htz that might have been seen by the encoder as important there in mapping out in full range.
I have seen this happen with some LP conversions using lame.
Thats all.

But yes do as atak said I am interested in your resulting outcome...

~DarCMust be a _smart_ extraction by AVIExtract. Demuxers which I am used to (i.e. VirtualDub, ProjectX) simply demux the contained streams without interfering with the stream's contents! And work much quicker!
The recording does have some very loud parts. But the original wav can be transcoded to ac3 by Aften via AftenGUI without producing any clicks at all, though. Couldn't AVIExtract do an equivalent demuxing job, just demux the original wav out of the avi-container? Why does it take minutes instead of seconds to do its job for a 2hrs recording?

I found an automatic way for quality control: Since I have the original wav, I can do a "difference" between "AVIExtract-produced wav with clicks" MINUS "original wav without clicks" showing where the clicks are.

Made some tests and screenshots with these wav files:

audio.1.wav ... demuxed by AVIExtract.cmd taking a few minutes from my post from June 27 with RipBot264v1.14.1, ffdshow[rev 2992] [2009-06-09], FFmpeg.exe from RipBot264v1.14.1 download

audio.2.wav ... new demux by AVIExtract.cmd with RipBot264v1.14.2, ffdshow [rev 3020] [2009-06-28], FFmpeg-svn-19159.exe from FFmpeg-svn-19159.7z found in Atak_Snajpera's link

Used the command:
> Edit > Mix Paste > Overlap (Mix) > Invert > From File>
audio.0.wav ... which is the original wav from original avi (demuxed by VirtualDub taking just a few seconds to demux)

The screenshots show the results and zoom-ins into some clicks:
a) AVIExtract produced far more clicks than I thought!
b) Fewer clicks with new ffdshow and ffmpeg versions!
One sort of clicks is not produced any more by the newer ffdshow and ffmpeg.exe
b) Other sort of clicks is still produced.

Screenshots and small sample (saved selection of original wav from 57:30.000 to 58:15.000 where many clicks got produced by AVIExtract) "Test_57_30_to_58_15.wav" uploaded to link (http://rapidshare.com/files/250002931/Twin-Tower_clicks_screenshots_and_sample_wav.rar) (7123 KB).

My pragmatic conclusion: it seems better to do demuxing with VirtualDub first and then separately input the original wav for audio.

[Atak_Snajpera]

There must be a bug in ffmpeg. audacity clearly detects many clippings in your wav

Hi Atak,

Did it's normal then with the version 1.14.2 export AVCHD had only the BDMV folder, and not the CERTIFICATE folder and BACKUP sub-folder? It's like the dvd standard, need to use 2 folders, also if the folder is empty?

Thanks,
Sorry for my english

[Inbox7]

I used Ripbot to flip my Blurays to MP4...worked great even on Windows 7...thanks!! Now that I have the MP4 HD files, any recommendations on the fastest method to convert those to iPhone format?

[Atak_Snajpera]

In AVCHD structure those empty folders are not required.

any recommendations on the fastest method to convert those to iPhone format?
it does not exist. You will have to re-encode again.

Hi,

I've been using Ripbot264 to convert my videos for a few months, and I've found that by using the 200% audio normalize boost option the sound was loud enough for my every day commute in trains & buses. However I have found out that when traveling in planes, even with the 200% boost, the audio is not loud enough with the jet engine noise...

Is there any way I could boost the volume even more than 200%? I realise that boosting the audio so much would degrade its quality, but this is still better than not being able to understand what people say in movies... I looked at every option I could find, but I did not find any. Is there something I overlooked? If the option does not exist, is there a chance that this could be implemented in a future version?

Thanks in advance for your help!

[Guest]

Have you considered using headphones?

[evalf]

I forgot to mention that I am using in-ear Sony earbuds, which have always performed well and with sufficient volume. Actually when I'm in the plane and i play a game on the PSP I actually have to lower the volume, whereas the movies barely audible with the volume at the maximum.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Instead of destroying audio quality (anything above 100% = distorted sound) you should buy larger headphones which cover whole ears.

[BlindBandit]

Instead of destroying audio quality (anything above 100% = distorted sound) you should buy larger headphones which cover whole ears.

Using the X series earbuds & it sound freaking sweet when having normalize @100%, 200% sound even better because the X series S-Master amp push the audio to the max & sound clean always, also Atak Snajpera, can you add the Sony Walkman X series profile video screen into Ripbot264 thanks :D, also i already made a profile for the X series, just use 2-Pass@768k with my profile & 432x240 & be stun of the VQ that X series has.

Hi Atak Snajpera, and thank you for your answer, it's very nice to have such excellent software, and on top of that to be able to get in touch with the developper in less than one day :)

Regarding the larger headphones solution, unfortunately it is not an option, as on top of the noise the other constraint that characterises the plane travel is not being able to pack much stuff (at least not on the low cost airlines). This is why I'm trying to find a software solution to my problem.

I tried to find if there was a way to increase the output from the PSP, but apparently unless i'm willing to open it and do some soldering (which i'm not) there's not solution that way.

So it looks to me that the only solution to my problem is to increase the volume boost during the video encoding. I am very much aware of the sound distorsion that occurs when performing this boost, but I guess that bad sound quality is better than inaudible sound. This is why I'm wondering if there's any way to boost the volume above 200% in Ripbot264. I was hoping that if it is actually not possible to go above this limit it was purely due to a design choice, and hopefully not due to a limitation of the underlying software, so that in a future version some sort of option (maybe with a warning about distortion) could be added to aleviate this problem.

Thanks again for the superb software!

[laserfan]

So it looks to me that the only solution to my problem is to increase the volume boost during the video encoding... any way to boost the volume above 200% in Ripbot264.As Atak has already said, this would likely result in severe distortion of the audio.

Encoding the audio in a special way for your PSP would be a huge PIA, though I suppose you could try for example encoding only the center channel--at least you'd have a better chance of hearing the dialog!

I have a gizmo called a Boostaroo which does a superb job of boosting audio from any audio device (mini-jack in, two mini-jacks out). Dunno if it's still made but was $20 bucks when I bought mine years ago. (Ok I looked and it appears to be still in production).

Best option of all IMO would be to get noise-cancelling earphones which AFAIK all have amps built-in also.

I still prefer my PSP with nice ghosting effect:). Higher resolution and larger screen this is what i like. This walkman is step backward even with OLED. Who invented this weird resolution - 432x240 (1.8:1?!?!). Where is main profile support? Why every player after ipod must support only base line profile??? According to this (http://www.sonystyle.com.hk/ss/product/walkman/nwz_x1060_e.jsp) AVC resolution is limited to 320x240! Nice toy that's all :(

Well AVC resolution is not limited to 320x240 because people said that it can do up to 480x272 but i go with the screen resolution which is 432x240 but damm you got to see the X series in action but turn the OLED screen to 5, that where the OLED rape iTouch & PSP in color & brightness & ZERO ghosting. also 432x240 look very sharp on the X series & even it's way smaller then the PSP & iTouch but the screen look better & can easy read subs with no problem.

Also to answer your question about base profile, the reason is that the X series cpu is 250mhz when the PSP is 333mhz & the iTouch is 500mhz since AVC aka H264 pretty much is a cpu hog so they had to go with base which use 768kb & up for AVC format which is better then mepg 4 but 768kb look very HD on the X series. also the X series screen is not 3:4 but 9:4 or close to 16:9 ratio, something like that which mean it's perfect for widescreen movies, movies or anime. i watch the same video clip on the PSP & X series & all i can say is that the X series make my Sony XBR6 HDTV 32in look like crap when it comes to color & brightness >_< & for PSP forget about it.

[Atak_Snajpera]

PSP has dedicated chip for AVC decoding. It can decode 25mbps 720x576 without any drops! I will wait next 5 years for PSP2 :)

Wow did't knew that & yeah, btw Ripbot264 really & i mean really showing the IQ in HD vidoes on the X series, i took my HD movie rip which was 1920x1080@12mbps & turn it into 432x240 & it look just WOW, the IQ look the same on the X series even at 768kb. also DB Kai look freaking crazy in OLED, if you planing to buy a HDTV, get LED or OLED, DO NOT GET LCD because LED & OLED show more colors & brightness you never saw on a video before, FF7 which was my HD movie rip look O_O.

I found an issue with 64bit x264 it creates files are are somehow different from 32bit x264 file.

i ran the same encoding one with 32bit x264 and second with 64bit x264.

both play fine in windows, but on XBMC is a different story.

64bit x264 encoded files don't playback fine on XBMC for windows. files that were encoded with 64bit x264 playback at 13.3fps for some reason.

Hey man, i got a update from the X series :D, it can do 480x272@1.5mbps, not only video look sharper but damm i just tweak the ffshow where it say RGB conversion & put Full rang & not only that but damm black is really black now.

hey Atak, awesome software, been using it for more than a year now.

However I have 2 questions/suggestions.

1. I have this MKV with aspect ratio of 1.33 I cant encode it ot avchd 1080p, The aspect ratio gets all weird and streched if I force the resolution, but if I dont then I dont see 1920x1080 but only 720x480, or 1920x1440.

And as far as I know that is not standar resolution for AVCHD so is there any way to encode this?

2. is there any way to be able to do 1 pass and stop or continue from there?

Here my city have major electrical issues and I have lost hour of works because of this.

I dont know much about this this is way I am asking, can for example say do 1 first pass only, and then second pass? or in any case the light or anything interrumps the second pass be able to run the second pass only instead of having to redo 1st and 2nd pass all over again?

Thanks in advance

[Ajax_Undone]

True, there is some clipping in the original. It is the noisy ending of a loud scene. But 'Twin-Tower' clicks (example in attachment) I talk about are not in the original wav!
What do you hear in the original wav? You hear the clicks which you hear in AVIExtract's result? You see the Twin-Tower frequency pile-ups which characterises each of the clicks in spectral view?

I do not hear and see these clicks in the original. They get added by AVIExtract!
I will apply my pragmatic work-around: add the original wav instead of AVIExtract's wav and let Aften produce good ac3 (sounding just like the original wav) without 'value-added' clicks.

Hey guys, Im extremely new here so go easy on me.

I absolutely love the Ripbot program. But now I seem to have a problem when trying to upload files to be Ripbot'd.

When I first started using this program a few days ago, I thought I was in absolute heaven. It did an excellent job in such a short amount of time. Every other program/method I found took forever. So I'm really hoping you guys can help me figure this one out.

So far I have been able to convert about four or five .m2ts files into the .MKV format. But, then I tried again and when I load the file into ripbot and it starts the 'demuxing selected stream' process, after 100% I get this error:



...I searched around on the net and everyone with this same problem did not receiver an answer so I'm asking here. (if already answered elsewhere, please kindly direct me to the answer!) I am getting this problem with EVERY .m2ts file I try now.

So I'm starting to think its one of my programs perhaps? I uninstalled and re-installed up to date versions of everything required to open Ripbot264. (even the newest Ripbot264 v.1.14.2) But still I am getting this error?


everything was going perfect until now. Now I can't get anything to demux. I took the .m2ts file, and used Tsmuxer, then a program called AutoMKV and was able to shrink it that way and it works fine, except it took nearly 24 hours.

I really want to continue using Ripbot264, so if anyone can help me out?? Thanks a million.

I am now getting the same error but only on one BluRay Battle of Britain which is mpeg2.

DirectShowSource: couldn't open file C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\video.mkv: An object or name was not found. (C:\tempRipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)

DirectShowSource: couldn't open file C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\video.mkv: An object or name was not found. (C:\tempRipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)

I have used Ripbot for about 6 months no problems till now, this is my first post. I am using the latest ver of RipBot, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled as you did but did not work for me.

Can anybody please help? Thanks

Thanks to the author for all your time and work.

Make sure SRT is not selected on the following screen. I noticed Ripbot has been defaulting to this and it you fail to change it you'll get the same message, because no SRT file is present.

Hello,

I just noticed that since upgrading to 1.14.2, when I try to preview my file in media player classic I get an error message. I get "Cannot Render File". Anyone else have this happen to them? It's new for me. I'm using Windows 7 RC1 x64, if that helps. Thanks!

[dirk362]

The following 3 parameters are "duplicated" in the job1_EncodeVideoPass1.cmd file just before the --output option

--partitions none --subme 3 --me dia

It doesn't appear to be causing any issues, but thought I'd report it.

Feature Request: Would it be possible please to add the Title command for mkv so that the file can be properly tagged? Ideally an entry on the GUI to enter text that is then used as --title "whatever is typed" to job1_MuxFiles.cmd file

Thanks, that did it. SRT was selected by default. I selected the English forced subtitle and it works.

Can someone point me to what the QC setting do? From searching is it true that a lower number is higher quality? Also does the QC settings effect the size, I back up my BluRay Disc to hard drive MKV. Thanks.

[Atak_Snajpera]

CQ = Constant Quality
Lower value = Higher Quality and larger file size. In this mode file size CANNOT BE PREDICTED!
Default 22 value should give optimal results. If you are not happy with quality just lower value and try again.

I tried to do a movie and leave DTS-HD 7.1 as is for AVCHD but the result was the core only. I thought it was possible to keep DTS-HD as is. If it is, maybe I did something wrong?

I have Surcode DVD-DTS installed. Will that do the job? Well, I have it installed and it did not do anything. Do I need to link RipBot to it somehow? Thanks.

You need these in your RipBot264\Tools\ax\ArcSoft DTS Decoder Folder so download and the file install it and copy the files. Very simple.

@ atak; line 26 of RipBot264.ini (1.14.2)
reads: //RipBot264 will check if AviSynth, FFDshow and Haali Media Spliter are installed
now w/ JRE check: //RipBot264 will check if AviSynth, FFDshow, Haali Media Spliter and Java Runtime Environment are installed

i assume (w/ w7 build 7100 64bit ult) having installed the x64 JRE is why check screen is not seeing JRE?

hey im trying to encode for both psp and iphone.
as far as i know psp uses main 3.0 and iphone uses base 2.1
and psp uses CABAC, iphone doesnt. psp uses 3 ref frames and iphone uses 1.

is there a setting that is compatible for both devices?
like youtubes mp4 profile?

any help would be great..

[modifiedbears]

Has anyone had problems with mp4box crashing? I did 4 or 5 conversions without problems, but now mp4box crashes when it tries to create the mp4 file.

@8ternity

Where did you get the MKV file?

[mmmmdonut]

I've had mp4box crash from time to time on my XP box. When it happens I just modify the cmd file for muxing and point it to the release that was bundled with RB 11.5 ( not sure which version was bundled with 12 but the version bundled in RB 13 is same as in 14), rerun the cmd file and my file gets muxed back together with no issues.

[BlindBandit]

Do you have XP SP3 install?

[Guest]

Normally took at videos rental direct from bluray, but this one a friend bring me on hdd. That's not kosher for discussion here.

Do you have XP SP3 install?

Yes SP3 is installed.

I also can't get HD audio to work. I copied as above instructions. Also removed and install AviSynth, FFDshow and Haali Media Spliter. I still have Arcsoft total theater 3 installed yet to watch BluRays, can that be the problem? Any setting I need to change, I just get the core track, no options to convert to flac. I also downloaded RipBot again to make sure I had the latest ver.

Thanks for any help!!

[Atak_Snajpera]

sorry but I forgot that this checkactivate.dll file is also required.

[mkloharry]

Thanks for you quick reply. Checkactivate.dll was not in the latest Theater 3. I patched it to 140. I installed Arcsoft theater 2 pulled the dll out. Works now have the flac option. I had to remove all Arcsoft files crap cleaner and install, Arcsoft ver 2 & 3 don't like each other, everything working again. Thanks for helping me getting Flac working.:D

[harycover]

Hello

It may be have been asked before - I did a search, I swear- I would like to know what's the easiest way to add a second audio track and subtitles (not burned in the video) from a ripped blu ray after ripbot has finished encoding

Thanks

Edit : Found solution for myself, sorry for bothering

[wombat45]

Hello,

I just noticed that since upgrading to 1.14.2, when I try to preview my file in media player classic I get an error message. I get "Cannot Render File". Anyone else have this happen to them? It's new for me. I'm using Windows 7 RC1 x64, if that helps. Thanks!

Hi there, first post so be gentle.

I am also running Win7 RC1 x64 and have exactly the same problem as Brogan.

I add the MKV to Ripbot and it displays Demuxing Audio...etc.

Then MPC pops up and says "cannot render file".

By this point the Ripbot screen has reset and everything has gone. (in the TEMP folder, the .dts file is still there but there is no video file??)

I have tried uninstalling all the relevant programs and re-installing them. I have also tried installing 1.14.1 instead as this is my first time using Ripbot. This also gives the same error.

Can someone please help? Let me know what information you need and I will post it here as soon as possible. In the mean time I am going to see if the program works on the Vista partition of my HDD.

Thanks in advance!

[Ajax_Undone]

Where did you obtain the MKV?

[setarip_old]

@wombat45

Hi!

What is the format of the videostream of the MKV that you created?

[blinx23]

Sorry if this has been covered, searched the thread for a while and came up empty- hopefully it's an easy one though. Can ripbot put the lossless flac track into an .mkv? I got all the .dll's and it seems to be working fine, but here's why I ask. The source vid is 7.1 / 24 bit - The resulting mkv (while looking and sounding fantasic) is reported in mediainfo as being 6 channel / 16 bit.

Just wondering what I'm missing if trying to have lossless flac in the .mkv, or is it just not possible (avchd profile only??) thanks

[Atak_Snajpera]

show me video - log.txt. (paste whole text as a code)

[blinx23]

Shoot, all I have left is the job1.log which doesn't say much. The file you're talking about is in the temp folder right? That got deleted when I exited the program. I guess I'll run it again tonight and get the log again (can I get it from just doing the "pre-encode"). BTW- its been the same story for 3 diff ones I've tried whether its dtsma or truehd. The flac has resulted in 6 channel 16 bit for all of them.

[Atak_Snajpera]

The file you're talking about is in the temp folder right?
(can I get it from just doing the "pre-encode"
yes. ...

[blinx23]

Well, the log's pretty clear. I guess even though I don't get any errors in the gui, it's not liking my tmt .dll's. But, it also seems to be doing the same thing w/ truehd. Any suggestions?

Latest great work from Neuron2 decodes almost every video flux we could need. Becoming a "registered" user I'd like to know: apart from manual editing the job1.avs, how shoud I address RipBot to use the NV suite?

checkactivate.dll must be also in Arcsoft DTS Decoder folder

[dbone1026]

Is there any chance that Ripbot will get the ability to handle multiple audio tracks? Basically, I want my mkvs to have the original DTS track (for playback in my home theater setup) and an AC3 track (for playback on devices that don't support HD audio or have DTS downmix). Currently I will create an 8GB mkv with Ripbot and retain the original audio. I will then use a program like PopcornMKV (I actually just wrote a post about here - http://dbone1026.blogspot.com/2009/07/popcorn-mkv-audio-converter.html) to create an AC3 track to remux back into the mkv. It would be ideal if I could do this all with Ripbot. I know some people could say there are other tools to use. The only reason I bring it up is because I have using Ripbot down to a science with my movies. However, I couldn't say if adding multiple tracks to Ripbot would require too much to program in, but figured it can't hurt to ask :)

Hi Everybody,

I know this has been asked before but I have not seen any clear indication of what is causing it. Was using earlier version of Ripbot on a vista machine, no problem. (had some codecs installed over time...). Then new clean install of Win7 RC1, Server 2003, Xp Home, XP Pro (SP3) no codec packs, but it just fails after demux. It says " directshowsource...."due to a certification failure"...C:\temp\ripbot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2. Have tried any combination of uninstall/reinstall of the required software (FDDSHOW, Hali, AVi, Java etc.. - "tried full, custom/normal etc also tried playing around with the fdd audio/video decode config. Any assistance would be great. I can post the txt files if required.

The source is a rip of the old movie Twister - Tried DTS Master, AC3 and "no audio" as well. Same result.

I'll paste the logs & .avs files...
Here the getinfo.avs:

[Guest]

@butha

Where did you get the source MKV file?

[butha]

Created from my own source disk.. using dvdfab HD.. the same used to rip my other Blu-Ray discs..

[Guest]

Why are you encoding from the MKV rather than the source?

[butha]

I prefer to work with the files on hdd rather than stress my original discs. Also take out the menus, additoinal sound tracks etc. I want to end up with the smallest high quality file for my media centre (the 720P files are all around 4GB and the 1080P ones 8GB). I watch them on projector, but am not phased by multiroom sound, stereo only, which often means I us the AC3 track (smallest size) I am quite new at this still though and would appreciate assistance. My main issue is that the error message says "due to certification failure" which seems easy? Playing my ripped (30GB) file of the demuxed one manually with MPC HC works fine, so no idea why this new version has this issue?

[butha]

I have also googled that "certification failure" and can't seem to find it. It must either be codec related or version related (ripbot or one of the plugins) before it worked 100% I never had an issue - what is different is that before when ripbot demuxed I saw fddshow icons in the system tray, which I don't anymore..maybe somewhere it needs to be registered/re registered?

[Nkotok]

sorry but I forgot that this checkactivate.dll file is also required.

Is it required only for flac or in general to keep DTS-HD?

There is no checkactivate.dll file in Theater 3's folders.

[Atak_Snajpera]

@butha
Maybe try this:
1) copy \Tools\AviSynth plugins\DirectShowSource\DirectShowSource.dll to C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins
2) restart pc and try again

[butha]

@Atak_snajpera

Thanks will try and post back just now.

[butha]

@Atak_Snajpera

Nope no luck.. Did not work... I have the current screen (and temp folder files) open so can paste anything that might help. I watched it demux at 100% and in the tray icon I saw the Hali Splitter (white icon) flash while "gathering information" was displayed, and the moment MPC opens up the error is there. What does the "due to a certification failure" error mean? Any help would be apprecaited. The program is brilliant! (Just hope I can get it going again)

[Atak_Snajpera]

My last advice
1) uninstall AviSynth , Haali Media Spliter and ffdshow
2) restart pc
3) install again AviSynth , Haali Media Spliter and ffdshow
4) restart pc
5) install Windows Media Player 11

[butha]

I have done the steps 1 - 4 -(from previous thread)

When installing the AviSynt, Haali & FDD, just install with defaults? Or should I select spesific check boxes and config after install?

MP11? - Have not heard that one before? Why would that help?

Will try anyway and let you know ..

Thanks so far!

[Atak_Snajpera]

MP11? - Have not heard that one before? Why would that help?
because it contains VC-1 decoder. Vista has WMP 11 installed by default but older systems do not have it!

When installing the AviSynt, Haali & FDD, just install with defaults? Or should I select spesific check boxes and config after install?
Ripbot264 always sets optimal codecs automatically in ffdshow

[butha]

Ah! Thank you for that! That might actually do the trick! The previous system that worked was Vista Ultimate, but I had a number of codecs and for sure WMP11 installed on there. Also had Pdvd new for Blu-Ray etc.. so the issue started with the new clean installed servers/pc's... will install and reboot and let you know! (just have to give the demux another 15 minutes or so to complete...)

[butha]

Worked! Thanks the WMp11 sorted out the problem. I will post to the other user who had the same issue.

[ayfa]

Any idea, why i can't get this file converted to neither mkv nor mp4?
File is shot by a Samsung camcorder. When I try to convert it, only audio is played back. Instead of video, I get a gray screen.
While encoding, ripbot shows ~6kb/s at the bottom, no matter what kind of encoding I choose (cq,2-pass,mp4,mkv...)

Hi atak,

I dont know what to do right know with the case i wrote yesturday. Could you help me please?

[blinx23]

Is it required only for flac or in general to keep DTS-HD?

There is no checkactivate.dll file in Theater 3's folders.

2 same things I'm wondering..


edit: just got the logs for a truehd one.. seems to be doing the same down-conversion (24 to 16 bit) as with dts-ma

[a03] Extracting TrueHD stream...
[a03] Removing TrueHD dialog normalization...
[a03] Decoding with libav/ffmpeg...
[a03] Reducing depth from 24 to 16 bits...
[a03] Encoding FLAC with libFlac...
[v02] Muxing video to Matroska...
[a03] Creating file "D:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\audio.1.thd.flac"...
[a03] The original audio track has a constant bit depth of 24 bits.
[a03] The processed audio track has a constant bit depth of 16 bits.

@ayfa
I checked your file and I have no problems.
1) Uninstall AviSynth , Haali Media Splitter , ffdshow
2) reboot
3) Install Again AviSynth , Haali Media Splitter , ffdshow
This should solve your problem

edit: just got the logs for a truehd one.. seems to be doing the same down-conversion (24 to 16 bit) as with dts-ma

There are few reasons why TrueHD and DTS-MA are always converted to 16bit:
1) Compression is higher with 16bit (smaller sizes)
2) Alot of Blu-Ray movies have fake 24bit. 16bit + empty 8bit
3) There is no way you can hear difference on consumer equipment. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_bit_depth)

for me 24bit is nothing but placebo.

OKay. The sample was maid by mkvtoolnix GUI. Now i have done everthing i can.

- Uninstall everything
- Update directx10 latest...
- install latest ffdshow, avisynth 2.5.8, matroska

The audio is unsync and 6 sec difference in AVCHD 2pass, 720p.

Did it could be the DTS track could unsync?

I Will try to format and reinstalling everything soon because, samething with older version.

[8ternity]

@Atak;

Just reformat hard drive, re-install windows, drivers, softwares, documents and etc.

Installed Avisynth 2.5.8, ffdshow CLSID 3029 rev non ICL10, mastroka splitter and ripbot 1.14.2. Samething.

If i check the original file, everything is sync. When import to ripbot, set to AVCHD, 2-pass, DTS audio is 6 senconds under video timesize. On preview, unsync on preview. Set to ffmepg-mt in ffdshow video configuration, still the same.

Now im stuck... can't convert it. If convert and set 6250ms of delay, final video is unsync. If i let it xx.copy audio, and let 6 seconds difference, same results.

more than ffdshow 2790 rev i have trouble with same case with a couple of video imported and try to arranged.

I have Windows Vista Home premium x86 version, with sp2 installed and all windows updates installed.

what can i do?... lol

Understood, I just took FLAC to mean what it is- full / lossless (no conversion)
The reason I'm inquiring about this is I'm about to build a htpc with a radeon 4550 (7.1 hdmi out) and I plan to do flac and lpcm to my onkyo 606. If you're saying the flac option in ripbot is still extremely close to the dts-ma or truehd, i.e. no channels lost, only 24/16 bit conversion, I can live with that.

[tormento]

What problem are you having?
Can't find a way to make RipBot use your suite automatically or semiauto.

I have searched the thread but have been unable to find an answer for this. In previous versions there was an option to cut or stretch audio to fit the video but it doesn't seem to be available now. Is there any way to do this with the current version?

[pOpY]

Hello. I am using latest ripbot264 1.14.2 + ffdshow_rev3024_20090703_clsid_x64.exe + Windows 7 RC x64.

Ripbot doesnt find ffdshow, but i could watch movies with mplayer classic.

Which build of ffdshow should ill use that it will be regonized correctly in ripbot?

Thanks
cu

[Atak_Snajpera]

32 bit

[pOpY]

Thank you. Now RipBot starts and find all the tools. After selecting a MKV input file and demuxing of audio mplayer classic opens and says "cannot render the file" i have tried to install wmp11 as you sayed it in your previous posts but the error is still here :-(

what can i do?

thank you

[Atak_Snajpera]

Thank you for time.

Now it works. I have reinstalled:

[wakebrder]

Atak-

Feeling a little stupid here, so feel free to correct me.:confused:

If I'm choosing high res audio, (PCM, DTS-MA, or True HD) and check the FLAC box, Ripbot264 will:

1.) Convert the HR audio (not just the core) to Flac.

2.) Convert flac to Aften AC3 so it will be compatible with Dolby Digital receivers.

Will this converted 640 kps AC3 stream still contain all of the high res audio stream and not just the core?

Am I missing anything?

Thanks!

[Atak_Snajpera]

1) i'm not that stupid to convert core to flac :) only hd part is encoded to flac. that's why flac option for dts-ma is only available if arcsoft dts decoder is installed.

[wakebrder]

1) i'm not that stupid to convert core to flac :) only hd part is encoded to flac. that's why flac option for dts-ma is only available if arcsoft dts decoder is installed.

So the resulting Aften AC3 is the combination of the AC3 / DTS core + the "HD part" of the original True HD/DTS-MA?:confused:

Can you explain to me exactly what Ripbot does with the HD Audio when checking the flac box?

[Atak_Snajpera]

I'm almost sure that you must have some ancient DirecshowSource.dll in AviSynth/Plugins directory or ancient AviSynth! Uninstall AviSynth and make sure you install latest version 2.58.

BTW I tested RipBot264 on Windows 7 7600 x64 and I had no problems at all! VC-1 , Mpeg2, AVC ...

Atak,

I've recently re-discovered your fantastic app and have used it successfully on several HD DVDs. However, on some discs RipBot is unable to list the correct playlist item. After clicking 'Add', I point the app to the largest .EVO in the HVDVD_TS directory. Once RipBot is done with analyzing the content, it lists maybe 1-3 items in the PLAYLIST pulldown, and none of them is the main movie one. Is this something you've bumped into? Would you happen to know how to solve this issue?

Also, RipBot has been so useful that I'd like to make a donation. Do you have a PayPal account?

Hello !

Recently I've upgraded to latest version and have some problems with converting wmv to mp4. Eveyrtime I get this message

DirectShowSource: I can't determine the frame rate
of this video, you must use "fps" parameter.
(X:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 1)

I'm running Windows 7 RC1 x64 with all available updates, on my older machine with xp everything works fine, somebody could tell me what am I missing here ?

PS
There is no codec packs in the system besides, those ripbot was asking

[humblehyper]

I have a problem, I selected 8125 as the video bitrate and after the encoding is done it gives me a lower bitrate like less than 300 kbps video so the end quality of the video is really poor. Am I doing something wrong here? I'm trying to convert my Transformers Blu-ray to MKV. I tried it a couple of times with different values like 7000 kbps, 10000 kbps and still the same result (poor quality and low bitrate) Thanks.

As if the program doesn't want to accept the bitrate selected before encoding. I even tried locking the file output to like 8GB and still doesn't do it. I'm confused :(

[Blackwalker]

hi, i have been away for about 1 month for work.
I have some questions, if someone is so nice to give me an answer :)

1 - Is RipBot now support TRUE-HD audio tracks??
2 - i see now that Tsmuxer now support TRUE-HD audio tracks, its true? i try it but when i try to play the m2ts file with windows media player
classic, it wont play the audio track...why? (with the original m2ts file on the movie the sounds play fine!!)
3 - i also give a try at the Clown_BD Gui (that'd support TRUE-HD audio tracks), same problem playing the m2ts file with windows media player
classic...

someone can give me some suggestions? thx a lot

[mmmmdonut]

Umm... where do I find that?

Check the temp directory/jobx.

Also there are a couple titles that RB dont work with on hd dvd as they call an introductory track outside the normal pevob or feature evo files. Couple titles I know off hand are frightners (has an intro by Peter Jackson) and Galixina (this title is poorly authored even evodemux dont even like it).

[colinhunt]

Check the temp directory/jobx.
Yup, found it, thanks.

The problem is that HD-DVD_title_info.txt is apparently created only after I've chosen which playlist item I want to encode. Since RipBot only shows me two items and neither is the one I want, HD-DVD_title_info.txt seems to be quite useless in debugging this issue. Same thing with HD-DVD_structure_info.txt: it lists only the same two items and none of the other ones.

The disc in question has 16 .EVO files and 16 .MAP files in the HVDVD_TS directory, along with one HVA00001.VTI file. While RipBot should show 16 (?) items in the playlist, it shows only two; both are very short video clips. The actual movie is "Feature.EVO".

Just wanted to say:
Thank you for the great mediainfo gui which is bundled with ripbot264. it is much better than the default one.

[Pensive]

Thank you so much for your efforts, I am finding it very useful indeed.

I have a dream function which I think would be hugely useful to many people and really easy to implement for you:

The option to losslessly encapsulate the video stream into an MKV file (which it already does, behind the scenes!) the same way you can do with the audio stream, and transcode the audio format to AC3 if it is a DTS soundtrack (which it already does).

At the moment I start a transcode going then drag the .MKV and .AAC or DTS files from the temp folder before its finished, then try and manually mux them but I'm missing something as they tend to go out of sync.

I have a Samsung Media 2.0 telly which supports everything except DTS soundtracks....so this little addition would make RipBot the ONLY piece of software anyone would need...... =D Certainly me...

Thanks again, for a really great piece of software. IT makes EasyDivX (from yesteryear), Gordian Knot etc. look really clunky!:thanks::thanks::thanks:

Try using MakeMKV or a combo of tsMuxer/MKVMerge to do this. You can also use Clown_BD which will demux all the audio/video files, and then use MKVMerge to bring the ones you want back into an MKV.

[Blackwalker]

i'll answer by myself, looks like RipBot264 development is death or maybe the author is out for holidays (i hope)?

ho well, so i try yesterday Clown_BD Gui and looks really great and work perfectly also with true-hd track (work also with HD-Dvd)!!!!
the only things that dont do is the "resize" thats an important aspect of RipBot264!

hope to see the author soon online!

Reinstalled Avisynth, media splitter and ffdshow, now it hangs itself on every file while showing message "gathering information" weird :(

I've checked on my Xp machine machine and must say the latest update went complete ***** on me, this is what happens after choosing a file
http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/1296/clipd.th.jpg (http://img30.imageshack.us/i/clipd.jpg/)

Whiskey, I'm getting exactly the same problem on my Vista64 set-up. When trying to add a .264 file the new version just hangs. There seems to be plenty of HD activity as if it's actually crunching the information, but doesn't display 'Gathering Informations...' at the bottom nor does it eventually open the file (I've left it for 20 mins trying). No codecs installed except ffdshow. Funnily enough, it will open .m2v files...

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling ffdshow, Haali and Avisynth, plus upgraded to the latest SVN 3036 ffdhow tryout but nothing there either. I even cleaned out my Ripbot cutom profiles and overwrote my .ini for a complete clean slate, but still no dice. Went back v1.14.2 and everything worked fine again...

Anything else I could try? Cheers in advance to anybody for any pointers.

[goldirin]

Thanks, for the program, it's great one!

This is kinda off-topic; my apologies.

I'm about to build a new PC (Core i7 with 6GB of RAM) exclusively for RipBot and BD-RB usage, and was wondering whether Windows XP 32-bit is still the safest and most reliable choice. I was toying with the idea of installing Windows 7 64-bit, but won't install it if you guys tell me RipBot won't work on it properly. So how about it?

I personally am thinking about switching back to x32 on my HTPCs when I get the final W7. I have my HTPCs working fine with W7 RC x64 but I am getting tired of always having to take extra steps or check to make sure I am pulling the right x64 codecs, program compatibility, etc.... My desktop PC runs Vista x32 (where I do all my ripping/encoding/testing, etc...) without issue. Funny you mention this as in my last post on my blog I made a sidenote about seriously considering moving back to x32.

However, and I don't want to dissuade you from x64, but W7 x64 should work properly with Ripbot

[oldjoe911]

Excellent tool! One question: ripbot264 complaints that I don't have ffdshow rev xxxx installed, but since I am using ffdsdshow tryouts instead, I just disabled the warning in the ini and carried on. Will this have any complications?
I am very reluctant about installing the outdated ffdshow on top of the newer ffdshow tryouts.

[Ajax_Undone]

Um its always best to use the latest ffdshow tryouts from the devs home http://ffdshow.info The reason is because it will generally work better..

The Revision number is the last one that was checked out as working by the Dev of ripbot264... Its best to use the most up to date releases to keep from having issues...

This (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/files/SVN%20builds%20by%20albain/icl10%20builds/ffdshow_rev3052_20090803_dbt.exe/download) is the latest build to come from the stack..

Thank you Damian. I think it might be wisest to do a multiboot with Windows XP 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit. If I run into any problems with RipBot & BD-RB on Win7, it would be pretty easy to switch over to XP 32-bit.

Get the W7 RC x64 while you can (I think you can still download and get a key through mid August). This will be a good test before you actually shell out money. Of course you could also try W7 RC x32.

Its not complaining because you don't have ffdshow, its complaining because your copy of ffdshow tryouts is too old. Update the tryouts version and it won't complain.

[Shuichiro]

Thank you so much for the update of this great applic!

I just did a quick test and found out that resizing is now set to x534 (720p) on movies with 2,40:1 aspect ratio (as mentioned in the changelog for custom resizing). When I use custom without locking it to that ratio I cannot change it to the x534. Only 532 or 536 is available.
What resizing values do you suggest for a 2,40:1 movie?

[Atak_Snajpera]

....x534 because it is closer to original aspect ratio.
1280/534 = ~2.397 -> 2.40 - 2.397 = 0.003
1280/532 = ~2.406 -> 2.40 - 2.406 = -0.006

If you want correct values always use locked aspect ratio instead of unlocked.

[Shuichiro]

Thank you for the quick answer. I thought it was because of that reason but was getting unsure becuz of the different setting options for the two custom settings.

[blinx23]

Thanks for the update Atak,
but maybe i miss something.....where is the "Blu-ray" option as Output????????????
(Blu-ray output with structure)

i see only mp4, mkv and avchd...


PS:

- i dont understand....yesterday i make a blu-ray disk using the version 1.14.2 or 1.14.1, dont remember which one,
but i had blu-ray output as option (maybe i'm going crazy!!), or this have something to do with the ffdshow or Avisynth
or MatroskaSplitter or ....what??

- if its only avaliable the "avchd" as output i think not all blu-ray player will play the avchd format (i think)


someone PLZ can give me the light!!!!!!!!! :(
i'm going crazy now!!!!

thx!

[cgp-2k9]

@Atak_Snajpera: I just wanted to say thank you for this great application, been using since I've discovered it a while back and I'm talking about second or third of your builds, can't remember. Keep up the good work and thanks for the updates.

@Blackwalker: No, you are not going crazy, Atak_Snajpera has changed the name option from Blu-ray to avchd a couple of builds ago, if memory serves me right. You will still get the Blu-ray structure if you use this option. Nothing has changed, only the name is changed.

[Blackwalker]

only the name is changed? you mean the output have always a "blu-ray" structure?
cause the output structure of a real avchd is different and not all blu-ray player stand alone support it!!!

[Atak_Snajpera]

I changed name because old 'blu-ray' was in fact avchd. I just replaced one bitmap...:)

[Blackwalker]

thx for the answer.

but now i have to think that all my movie cannot work on all
stand alone blu-ray?

because, if you say "old 'blu-ray' was in fact avchd", this mean
that the struture is/was an "avchd struture" and not a real "blu-ray struture"....

this is correct? :eek:

[duramaximus]

I have noticed that my player will not play the new structure.

I just use tsMuxeR and convert to Blu-ray and it plays just fine.

I have a sony bdp350.

Atak, did you say in the first post or in this thread, somewhere, that the output is a "avchd output" and not a "blu-ray" output?
so i waste all my blank blu-ray? :angry:

I'll have to confirm, but I am pretty sure the AVCHD files I've been generating play on stand-alone BD players. My gf's parents have a Panny that plays them just fine, and I have a PS3 that has no trouble...although I know it is probably more friendly than some. It appears to have an identical structure to the previous .bluray outputs from RipBot. My PS3 and other stand-alone players have always identified the discs as "AVCHD" whether the files were .bluray or .AVCHD files from RipBot.

I hope that helps, but all that matters is your machine obviously.

Ooooops,

I made a mistake.

I am not sure if it was my stand alone player or PowerDVD that would not play this structure. The more I think about it, it is powerDVD that did not play it.

After all my conversions I use imgburn to build an .iso. I then mount the img and play it with powerDVD to verify the audio and subtitles.

Sorry I said my BDP-350 would not play it, my bad :o

do you read what Atak say before?
"old 'blu-ray' was in fact avchd"

so the structure has never been a true blu-ray structure!
it was/is a AVCHD, like in the previous versions!

Atak use a PS3 (i also own a PS3, but also other blu-ray stand alone players), maybe thats why he developed this
application, for PS3.

The bad thing is that he should post this in CAPITAL letters
in the first page, in the current and in all previous
version of this program, that the output is not a "true" blu-ray
structure but a avchd structure!

Whiskey, I'm getting exactly the same problem on my Vista64 set-up. When trying to add a .264 file the new version just hangs. There seems to be plenty of HD activity as if it's actually crunching the information, but doesn't display 'Gathering Informations...' at the bottom nor does it eventually open the file (I've left it for 20 mins trying).

Anything else I could try? Cheers in advance to anybody for any pointers.

Update on my situation with the new version... Still won't load raw .264 streams, but will accept them if they're pre-muxed into a .ts or .m2ts file. The previous version is fine with either so it is still strange...but at least I can use the latest version now.

Would just like to say thanks for the new Inverse Telecine option, Atak. Tested it on a few episodes of The Wire from the R1 DVD's and it works perfectly. Exactly what I needed as the previous field deinterlacing options didn't yield the right results.

Atak use a PS3 (i also own a PS3, but also other blu-ray stand alone players), maybe thats why he developed this

I also tested on Samsung BD-P1600 and it works without any problems. FF ,RWD all works fast and stable.


The bad thing is that he should post this in CAPITAL letters
in the first page, in the current and in all previous
version of this program, that the output is not a "true" blu-ray
structure but a avchd structure!

Blu-ray output was evolving in tsmuxer. At the beginning it was just "Blu-Ray Disc" but after months people discovered that from technical point of view structure is closer to AVCHD. Then Roman (tsmuxer authos) was convinced to create "true Blu-ray Disc structure" . However this so called true structure is even less compatible with players!
There are players which require strict AVCHD structure. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=144674). If you are not satisfied go to store and check which blu-ray players play files generated in RipBot264.

Still won't load raw .264 streams, but will accept them if they're pre-muxed into a .ts or .m2ts file. The previous version is fine with either so it is still strange...but at least I can use the latest version now.
Replace DGAVCDec folder from older working version.

ok, thx for the clear answers Ajax and Atak! =)

[duramaximus]

First of all I just wanted to thank you again for a terrific program.

My goal from the start was to find a way to strip off all of the fluff and shrink down a bluray to fit on a dvd-r or a dl dvd-r.

I use these both on my stand alone player and on my HTPC's.

Your GUI, in my opionion, is the best out there and I hope you keep up the great work for a long time.

Thanks again,

[a04] The libav DTS decoder doesn't decode the full DTS-HD information. <WARNING>

First of all your ArcSoft decoder does not work. I suppose you forgot to copy checkactivate.dll to system path (c:\windows\system32 for example)
If you fix this then check FLAC option. eac3to will convert DTS-MA (lossless) to FLAC (lossless as well but better compression!). Once you have FLAC audio then Copy Stream will show up.

Thanks Atak...but just tried it and still won't open raw .264 streams.
At least it works on my machines. Windows 7 (x86/x64) , Vista x86.

Does anyone have any experience using ripbot with a quadcore AMD Phenom 9600?

I am looking at building a cheap encoder/player for my brother who is a teacher (limited butdget).

I use a Q9300 overlocked to 3ghz and it takes me about 5-7 hours to encode a bluray at 1080p, QF of 22, audio to flac.

I am not looking to build something that can do 5-7 hours, but under 20 would be great.

[Pensive]

Thank you so much for your efforts, I am finding it very useful indeed.

I have a dream function which I think would be hugely useful to many people and really easy to implement for you:

The option to losslessly encapsulate the video stream into an MKV file (which it already does, behind the scenes!) the same way you can do with the audio stream, and transcode the audio format to AC3 if it is a DTS soundtrack (which it already does).

At the moment I start a transcode going then drag the .MKV and .AAC or DTS files from the temp folder before its finished, then try and manually mux them but I'm missing something as they tend to go out of sync.

I have a Samsung Media 2.0 telly which supports everything except DTS soundtracks....so this little addition would make RipBot the ONLY piece of software anyone would need...... =D Certainly me...

Thanks again, for a really great piece of software. IT makes EasyDivX (from yesteryear), Gordian Knot etc. look really clunky!:thanks::thanks::thanks:

I have now tried MakeMKV, which just crashes, hangs, reboots my pc, or interprets the ripped stream as 200 mb in size.

I laso tried manually mkvmerging....no luck yet.

I also tried ClownBD which gets me a lot closer but it wont put it into MKV for me (which my telly is uber-good at playing).

With .TS files, the telly plays the video stream but never the audio even though it understands AC3 eytc. etc.

MKV is the only way forward, and I am convinced that RipBot is the best beasty for the job.....Anyone else got any other suggestions? I'm getting a bit disheartened having failed so many times......I'm now manually MKVMerging the files from the temp folder of ClownBD......I just want to hit the buttons and go......I'll pray this 20th transcode works ok.

If not I'll just shrink them to 15gb with ripbot because the outputs from ripbot just work every time....

[Atak_Snajpera]

Does anyone have any experience using ripbot with a quadcore AMD Phenom 9600?
instead of AMD I would buy Intel Core2 Quad Q8200 2,33Ghz. It is a little bit more expensive but you can get even 3,2Ghz on default voltage! (if you have proper memory of course:)

[mackworth]

Yeah, unfortunately I probably couldn't swing that for him.

The Phenom 9600 is ~90 and the Q8200 is ~160. Almost twice as much in the states.

Most of the benchmarks I find on the net for x264 are hard to compare to ripbot given the different input files most tests use compared to 1080p bluray rips.

[8ternity]

Hi Atak_Snajpera,

I just remark the problem of audio and video time code delay is only the same trouble (DTS audio time lench and Video time audio is unsync.

I reformat hard drive; reinstall windows genuine oem windows with sp1, make all updates, install ffdshow clsid 3453rev, 2.5.8avisynth, matroska, ripbot 1.14.2... everything updated.

Still got the same trouble with many bluray project in DTS.

THanks.

[Ajax_Undone]

Hey 8ternity try RipBot v1.14.3 OK


~DarC

[Atak_Snajpera]

he Phenom 9600 is ~90 and the Q8200 is ~160. Almost twice as much in the states.
In Poland Q8200 is only 25% more expensive than AMD Phenom Quad-Core 9650 BOX.

@8ternity
Your CPU is to slow. Period.

Yeah I can get the streams out no problem; Its putting them back in to a working MKV which is problematic.

I've used the EAC3TO gui before, not tried this particular one.

I actually succeeded last night in merging an MKV which stayed in sync. The audio stream was AC3 which I know the telly understands, but it told me the video stream was the wrong type on one. Gonna play with a few 4CC's but if it doesnt work I think it spells the end of my attempts - My telly simply doesnt like some of these stream formats you find on blu-ray.

Till now I'd assumed it was just the container that was the problem. Off topic..........this discussion now belongs elsewhere. Thanks for your help though.

Interestingly, the author has tested AVCHD on a Sammy BD-P1600. My new one turns up tomorrow, I dont have a burner at the moment but AVCHD transcoding sounds like the way forward then, albeit a 15 hour slog......

You don't have DVD burner?!? You can use DVD-DL as well instead of BD. Samsung 1600 is not bad but has one small problem which could be fixed by new firmware. It does not like movies encoded @24fps (movie butterfly on wheel for example). Video freezes (but sound is going) every 40 seconds for 10 seconds. 23.976 works without problems.

[Pensive]

Yeah I have a DVD burner; The thing is If I have to transcode it, I can play it back direct through my telly right of the portable hard disk - I wanted to lossless rip it but it wasnt to be :(

I bet I get better playback quality from the blu ray player though (with regard to post processing of artefacts and block smoothing etc.), with the same video encode.

Now that would be an interesting experiment......

Hi.
First of all, thank you for this superb tool.

Now, i'm having trouble converting some videos. From what i have read on various posts here it could be some ffdshow trouble.

MKV files seems to have no trouble at all, but when i run a avi file with h264 or xvid codec trough ripbot, it runs past demuxing audio stream, then it just stops on "Please Wait, gathering information".
It does not move past this point, nor this it generate any error message(that i can see).

I've tried many times to reinstall ffdshow, avisynth and hali media splitter like previous posts tells us to do, also deleting the remaining files in program files, but nothing seems to work.
This problem is in both 1.13.3 and the new release 1.14.3.

Im running windows 7 64bit 7600. Clean install.
The only thing i did that may have disturbed something is to uninstall windows media player. I have reinstalled this now, but still the same trouble.

I've been searching though this thread for an answer but i just couldnt find anything that could help me.
I would really appretiate any hints that could help me locate the error.

Do you mind give some support to Neuron2 incredibly good NVTools? ;)

Thanks..

@Atak_Snajpera:

I have some DVD 720x576i50 sources (Pal interlaced TV-Episodes = Farscape Season 1-4)
and want to put them onto BD-R (each BD a Season of 22 Episodes)

Concept was:
- Recode with Ripbot to AVCHD with size of 1083MB per Episode
- Create Menu with multiAVCHD as AVCHD onto BD-R

After first step I found an issue: Ripbot encodes them as progressive.
AVCHD standard allows 720x576 in h264, but only interlaced (Panasonic BD35 video output went black with progressive material)

So is there a way to let Ripbot encode stream interlaced?

Did you try 23.976p as well?

not yet.

Do you mind give some support to Neuron2 incredibly good NVTools?
no.

[Wishbringer]

Did you try 23.976p as well?
Yes, I tried 24p and 23.976p too.
For 720x576(480) only interlaced content is defined in AVCHD standard.
And Panny is known for strictly usage of this defs.
25p (Pal) content plays well on PS3 for example.

My workaround till now is to upscale to 120x720p25. that works (but is not what I want)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Wishbringer
try to just add --interlaced switch to your favourite profile and then save using different name for example Keep Interlace.

BBC HD changed their encoders on 5th Aug 2009 which seems to have broken RipBot264.
Transmitted video bitrate is now 9.4Mbps (was 16Mbps) h264.
Transmitted audio bitrate is now 192Kbps (was 384Kbps) ac3.

Here's 49 seconds of TS (1440x1080i 25fps 9.4Mbps) from the Nicholas Crane's Britannia part 1.
Britannia.ts (58.87 MB)
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mmzutjwzjmw

Here's my non-working MKV from RipBot264 v1.14.3
Britannia-RipBot264.mkv (19.77 MB)
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qdm0tzunijn
(the Britannia_new.m2ts file from tsmuxerGUI plays ok)

Here's my working MKV from meGUI v0.3.1.1053
Britannia-meGUI.mkv (19.88 MB)
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?z50z2jmnnvu
(Demux the TS using DGA (dgavcindex) to give ac3 file and create 264 file using spec below. Mux 264 and ac3 into mkv)

The spec is in both cases is:
MKV, 2 pass, video bitrate=3216Kbps, audio=no change, frame size=1280x720, de-interlace=TFF 25FPS

The RipBot264 version is a complete mess. On the meGUI version you'll see some strange square noise blobs occur at 8 seconds. You won't see these blobs in the TS file but you do see what looks like noise occasionally if you move the progress bar around. This noise never happened before they changed the encoders.

The meGUI used AVC Level 4.1 where as RipBot264 used Level 4.0 but this could be a red herring.

RipBot264 v1.14.3 is using x264_x86.exe r1195M
meGUI is using x264.exe r1206 (manually updated from www.x264.nl)

I used TS Packet Editor v0.755 Beta to create the TS file.
FFDshow tryouts is "revision 3054 Jul 31 2009".
Haali splitter v1.9.42.1
I'm using MPC-HC v1.2.908.0 media player with ffdshow to play all the files.
The capture software is TSReader.
The encoding PC is a Core 2 Duo E8200 2.66GHz with 2Gbytes of RAM running Windows XP SP2.

Here's a comparision of TS files before and after the change of the BBC HD encoders using Media Info:
http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg276/34blw/bbc-hd-encoder-changes.jpg

The profile is apparently unchanged.
The ReFrames has changed from 2 to 4.
The Scan Type has changed from MBAFF to Interlaced TFF.
Both video and audio bitrates have dropped.
The BBC have stated that the picture quality has improved but all I see is lower bitrates - maybe I'm missing something.
Maybe the CABAC coding has changed.
The BBC are trying to squeeze HD over DVB-T sometime at the end of 2009 so I assume this is to keep a common transmission format.

Despite interlaced flag this source is in fact pure progressive. So don't deinterlace! Broadcasters tend to flag everything as interlaced so always rely on your own eyes.
1) If you see comb effect all the time then source is interlaced
2) if you see comb effect from time to time then source was telecined (very common used in NTSC world for movies)
3) if you don't see any artefacts then your source must be progressive

The RipBot264 version is a complete mess. On the meGUI version you'll see some strange square noise blobs occur at 8 seconds. You won't see these blobs in the TS file but you do see what looks like noise occasionally if you move the progress bar around. This noise never happened before they changed the encoders.
When I encoded your sample it looks ok
http://www.mediafire.com/file/fdotxrwynoy/Britannia.mkv

I can only suggest to reinstall ffdshow and other necessary tools.

[JungleBoy]

Thanks - your results look better.

[deets]

Thanks - that looks much better.

the bbc output is being very picky in everything, i get the blocking in dvbviewer and then have to rebuild the graph for it to work.

thanks bbc, just when i had it all sorted out :(

[JungleBoy]

I re-installed AviSynth 2.5.8, FFDShow 3054, and Haali 1.9.42.1

I encoded again with RipBot264 1.14.3 with no de-interlacing.
The result is the same, garbled picture.

I encoded with meGUI with no de-interlacing.
Again the result is the same as before - noisy picture at 8 seconds but otherwise watchable.

Tried switching FFDShow H264/AVC setting from libavcodec to ffmpeg-mt, no difference, switched back to libavcodec.

If you could give us any more information how to managed to create your MKV I'd be grateful, like the exact version of FFDShow your using.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I use ffdshow r3013 with ffmpeg-mt

UPDATE: r3054 works as well

Hi Guys,

Im having some trouble and Im hoping someone can tell me where im going wrong :)

Im trying to convert some VC-1 stuff to H.264. The problem is the output files, instead of being ~8gb, are ending up ~700mb :-(

Im selecting the lock output size (to the 8150 one), not cropping/resizing etc - the preview script is playing fine - there arnt any errors on screen.

i had the same problem a while ago. i uninstalled all videotools, filters, codecs and such (e.g. also the Combined Community Codec Pack), then reinstalled only the stuff required for ripbot. the problem never occured again since then.

[ziemlichdunkel]

Thanks for the great app, but one short question:
Is there a way to add more than one audio stream to the outputfile? :confused:

[dbone1026]

I have asked this before the answer has been no :(

[ziemlichdunkel]

I have asked this before the answer has been no :(

Too bad, this app runs faster and produces higher quality rips
than it's competitors. (HDConverttoX, Staxrip...)
The only thing missing is to add multiple Audiotracks and maybe a Statusbar during Analysis (at least in Win 7 it tooks some time, so youre not sure if the app freezes or just works in the background...)

Maybe it is possible to add the ML audio support in the next release, would make the app perfect!

greetz...

[Shuichiro]

You can do it manually. Just use the eac3to tool (get a gui for it, if needed) in the tool folder of Ripbot and extract any audio you want. After that mux the extracted file with mkvtoolnix.

I've got subtitle sync issue while encoding an anime :(
But just the ED karaoke, other than that it's sync'd
Sync issue shown in preview too (before encoding)

Already check'd the subtitle of source video and tried using other encoder, it's sync'd perfectly..
Any solution :confused:

Really need RipBot because it's very less time consuming :)

[Guest]

Already check'd the subtitle of source video(mkv) Where did you get the MKV file?

[holy_reds]

-delete this-

[microchip8]

From 'trusted anime torrent site' (can I reveal this ? If not just PM, if it's necessary)

Confusing enough because just the ED karaoke not in sync and not every anime like this
I want to do a batch convert but kinda afraid this problem occurs in some other place (like in OP or mid)

lolwut? Did you even bother to read the rules??????????

[holy_reds]

That's why I'm not revealing that site :scared:

Edited all previous post

It wasn't a trap question, you only interpreted it like one :). There's a reason, well one of them, why rules are written and not passed on in other form from mods to users. It's so that one does not need to repeat and describe them in length each time a violation occurs. Asking a user to just read the rules which points out such things is easier than each time writing 2-3 full sentences and explain that such things are not allowed here and why that is. ;)

Anyways, back on topic ;)

[mrdutchie]

hi there.

i tried your program, and LOVE IT!!!!

1 thing though... is it possbile to have some defaults settings set after the file get's loaded?

i did change the default profile, but
still need to change manually for every file
the
Size under properties, to psp,ipod
De-interlace to ttf -->29.97 (not sure what it does but makes my movies without lines in it)

it would be great if there was a profile for that

also if i change the mode from CF to 2-pass then i can set the bitrate for that movie. is it possible to change it to 1 pass?

keep up the good work

I have a fresh install of Windows 7 RC1, Core 2 Quad, 2 GB Ram and plenty of drive. I am trying to convert .m2ts files to stream to my ps3. I was having no problems on my Vista box (but haven't tried v1.14.3 from Vista) with these video sources (blu-ray .m2ts files). The issue I'm now having is this:

It gets through the "Encoding Audio" but seems to get stuck on the "Please Wait - Initializing".

I show a process by the name of x264_x86.exe using 25% CPU and 700k RAM. Nothing shows up in the Ripbot Logs folder.

Any ideas to get me going in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I've installed ffdshow_rev3052

Thank you,
Ken

[Atak_Snajpera]

Install Windows 7 RTM instead of unfinished RC

[m0nkie]

whenever input file contains vbr mp3 audio track, the output file always has out of sync problem. what should i do? should i use EnsureVBRMP3Sync() as megui does for every audio track?

thanks.
i'm still waiting for some kind of solution for that...

also tried EnsureVBRMP3Sync(). didnt help.

Can someone tell me why Ripbot only uses about 40% of the processor on Pass 1 of an encode with an i7 920 CPU?

I have several VOB files, ripped from a Season DVD
they all work fine, except for 2.
I am getting an error message about, cannot open in HIDE
mode.

what does it mean?. searched around but didn't find anything

thanks

[Guest]

It probably means that RipBot is handing a bad file name to DGIndex via the CLI.

[mrdutchie]

It probably means that RipBot is handing a bad file name to DGIndex via the CLI.

hmm.. let me check if there are weird chars in the filename.

yep you we're right... had , (comma) in the filenames
took them out, and now it's working

[JimmyFace]

Do I need to do anything special to add the forced subs in when ripping a bluray? For example, English film, with short sequences of foreign dialogue? Or do I have to specifically add the subtitle tracks?

[8ternity]

Whole gui is just one .exe (less than 600 KB). So I guess you prefer to download all tools manually??? Next time don't bother me with that useless posts, ok?

O.M.G... I don't know how he will feel to use, demux, convert file size, video, audio, delay, convert video and cacul rating with video, audio size to fit on a standard disc? how many dos commands he need to do to optain an great gui and easy application make everthing we need in a couple of clics.

I tried with both low priority checked and unchecked. When it does the 2nd pass it works 100% but not 1st pass. I found another thread with another i7 owner complaining of the exact same thing with no resolution.

Also when I do the x264 HD benchmark, it runs at 100%. I'm not sure what's different with the first pass, but I think I could be getting much faster encodes if it would encode at 100%.

both are 1920x816.


i try with RIpBot but wont accept this resolution...
i try with Clown_BD but give me error....
i try with Tsmuxer (i try with any settings), i hear the audio but no video!!!....
I try with mkv2vob looks ok, but the output its a .mpg file, if i remember well...and looks ok, but i'd like to
have it in m2ts. I try to rename the .mpg to m2ts and on my computer looks like it play ok (strange) with
mplayerc (media player classic).

I'd like to know, if there is a way to convert it to m2ts (that work!) without
loosing any wuality of the sound or video!

any suggestion?

Hope someone can give me a hand, thx
byez =)

[Guest]

Hope someone can give me a hand, thx We cannot help you with rule 6 material and you should not be posting about it.

[mrdutchie]

is it possible to increase the volume for the sound within the program?

I converted one dvd and you can hardly hear the sound.
(when the DVD plays itself, i need to crank up the volume
on the tv also)

[DarkZell666]

Can someone tell me why Ripbot only uses about 40% of the processor on Pass 1 of an encode with an i7 920 CPU?

This is expected behavior (no matter what CPU) when using --b-adapt 2, which isn't optimally threaded yet.

[JimmyFace]

ok,
sorry but i didnt understabd why i violated the rule 6 :confused:, really!

My english is not so good, so if someone can tell me why, so the next time i'll not do it again :thanks: i'll be happy!!

Anyway this is what the rule 6 say:

?????

its not a " illegally obtained copyrighted content", so
someone can tell me why?

for the name of the movie??
just to let you know i hown all 6 movies from lucas of the star wars saga!!
because i posted the name of the programs used to convert video files?

thx :)

Fast first pass does not require 4 cores. If you will edit ripbot264.ini to slow pass then you will get 100% on first pass as well.

You must add each track.

I've ripped it twice but the forced subtitles (if that is the proper term) don't show as they do in the original. So if they are embedded in the m2ts file then they are getting lost somehow. I'm lost on this one.

[JimmyFace]

no....

Thanks for the follow-up. The program rocks.

[mrdutchie]

- Does the program detect interlaced ?
- Can you increase the volume from the sound during conversion?

[Atak_Snajpera]

check in google what 'audio normalization' means.

[mrdutchie]

1. nope. but since it's easy to detect, thought maybe it was built in.

2. doesn't work. tried 3 x and no difference.

btw, it was just a question, no need to be rude. but seems like it your doing it a lot
to other people too.

It does work. I always use 200% for PSP and difference is HUUGE. Period.

Yeah , right and 100% accurate? Did you know that TV broadcasters and some AVCHD camcorders tend to flag pure progressive source as interlaced? Every fast method based on mediainfo will fail! More accurate algos are slooooow as hell compared to my eyes.

Hello,

I did some DVD-recodes from a TV-series from DVD to mkv with ripbot. Now some of the mkv's are displayed with the correct aspect ratio (16:9) and some not.

Is there any possibility in doing something wrong in ripbot264 or to correct afterwards?

Thanks a lot for your help.

One way is to correct the DAR flag afterwards in mkvtoolnix

[curtis_mccauley]

I am wondering whether there is a way to override the playlist selection made by RipBot264 at the beginning of a project. The vast majority of times, RipBot264 picks the right playlist, but every now and then it gets it wrong. When I have noticed this, it has been with BDs that have very long playlists with many chapters. It seems like the playlist selection is based on finding the playlist with the most chapters. In the most recent time I experienced this, the playlist (for a ~90 minute movie) had 70 chapters.

When this has happened I have forced RipBot264 to pick the right playlist, by removing all playlists except the "right" one from the PLAYLIST directory.

Is there a better way of dealing with this? I think I may be missing something, because I do not see any other posts on this issue.

Thanks again to the author for creating this fine application.

Ok, I got around it by downloading the correct subtitle track online, however I can't for the life of me find the same subtitle track (foreign dialogue only) on the original disc.

One subtitle track was the complete English subtitle for the whole movie, and the other seemed like a full English subtitle for hearing impaired (door closes, loud explosion, etc).

Seems weird.

What's a good profile to use for proper playback on an original XBOX using XBMC? I tried using Handbrake but the playback was too choppy, thought I'd try Ripbot instead.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I would start with Basic iphone profile. Resolution should not be higher than 640x480.

[guyfry]

This is great! I just used RipBot a few times with some really nice results.

Was curious if you could put in an option to have it sleep when finished instead of just shutdown? :)

Thanks again!

[Mr.Bitey]

I doubt that; I'm talking about the output of the first, not second, pass.

Sorry - ment the final output was playable..

i had the same problem a while ago. i uninstalled all videotools, filters, codecs and such (e.g. also the Combined Community Codec Pack), then reinstalled only the stuff required for ripbot. the problem never occured again since then.

Thanks for this - I removed the majority of my playback/decoding s/w and re-installed ripbot, avisynth, ffdshow and haali- Success!!! im now able to make properly sized files :D

Cheers,
Bitey

ripbot264 v1.14.3 hangs on x264_x86.exe

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Earlier post I had submitted I was running Win7 RC. Now running Win7 RTM

I have a fresh install of Windows 7 RTM, Core 2 Quad, 2 GB Ram and plenty of drive. I am trying to convert .m2ts files to stream to my ps3. I was having no problems on my Vista box (but haven't tried v1.14.3 from Vista) with these video sources (blu-ray .m2ts files). The issue I'm now having is this:

It gets through the "Encoding Audio" but seems to get stuck on the "Please Wait - Initializing". I can leave it for over 24 hours and it stays stuck on this.

I show a process by the name of x264_x86.exe using 25% CPU and 700k RAM. Nothing shows up in the Ripbot Logs folder.

Any ideas to get me going in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I've had no problems in the past using Ripbot and I love the program. Great job with the coding!

I've installed ffdshow_rev3052

Thank you,
Ken

[RainyDog]

I've run into an odd framerate issue. The original Blu-Ray is 23.976fps and the demuxed .ts is recognised as 23.976fps by Media Info. But Ripbot is analysing the video stream as 24fps... I went ahead with the encode anyway, and the created .mkv is labeled as 24fps and the A/V is out out of sync. However, I've remuxed with MKVMerge and stamped the video as 23.976fps and this re-sync's it back up. But, my question is...will the video quality be affected in anyway by this?

[Atak_Snajpera]

But, my question is...will the video quality be affected in anyway by this?
no. never. You just changed flag responsible for video speed. that's all.

[RainyDog]

no. never. You just changed flag responsible for video speed. that's all.

Thanks Atak. I thought as much and it did seem fine to my eyes, but just wanted to be sure.

[astragalos]

This is the best easy reencode program I have ever used, but recently I moved to windows 7 RTM 64 bits and I began to have problems with vc1 m2ts reencodes.
Although I have configured ffdshow to manage vc1 throught libavcoded, it always change back to wm9 and the result is ripbot264 gets an error message with mpc hc showing something like line 2 error (I don't remember specific message now).
Is is a specific windows 7 problem ?
I have not had any h264 m2ts re-encoding issue by now.

Thanks in advance for your help! :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

I don't remember specific solution either. BTW I'm also using 7 x64 and as always I have NO PROBLEMOS with any file :)

Thank you very much for your interest! I think I have found my problem. It has got to be with the fact that windows 7 has some issues in managing directshow filters preferences. I have done as told in that post http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=146910 and everything runs perfect now !!!

With use of Tool for changing preferred DirectShow filters in Windows 7 everything is perfect again !! I have changed 32 bits preferences, not the 64 bits ones :thanks:

[HockeyMan2000]

Hi guys,
I have an MKV (1280X544) which is in 2.35 widescreen.

When I try to make a BD disc out of the MKV with TSMuxer, the disc plays back in squeezed 4:3 format...even though the MKV itself is in 2.35 and plays back properly on my PC.

What should I change in RipBot that would signal to TSMuxer that the aspect ratio is 2.35 (i.e. adjust under "Size" to HD Full, etc.? Do I need to crop?).

any help would be appreciated, thanks. :)

Hello,

I want to convert my HD-DVD collection to mkv, playable with my HTPC.
First I ripped the HD-DVD to my hdd using some tools and eac3to.
But ripbot264 can't encode the resulting videostream.
Is there something I have to install/configure?

Thanks a lot for your help.

[stryker412]

I tried last night to convert my m2ts of Crimson Tide, but when I load it up in Ripbot all the chapter information is lost. How can I retain the chapter info?

The movie was split into 3 m2ts files on the disc so I used tsmuxer to join them making sure to select the playlist file (which showed all the correct chapter listings).

[lesterp]

Hi,
I get the avs2avi error (see attachment) shortly after demuxing the streams and a few seconds into Gathering information where it then hangs.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

PS Apologies if this is answered elsewhere - but did have a very good look.

[Atak_Snajpera]

@stryker412
Import original blu-ray structure in ripbot264 without using tsmuxer. Just select any .m2ts.

@lesterp
When avs2avi.exe crashes it always means that decoder crashed. Read first post and try again.

Just do what i say.

[lesterp]

@lesterp

de- & re-installed all I could find. Still same problem. mkv & ac3 files in the job1 folder and all cmd files appear to run OK (did your pause trick). Both mkv & ac3 files are separately playable in vlc

[Atak_Snajpera]

@stryker412

Thanks got it, one last question. I had to use another program to embed forced subtitles into the video. I have a 1080p mkv of that movie, can I use ripbot to resize that file down to 720p without losing chapters?

[Atak_Snajpera]

yes. if original mkv has chapters. chapters are automatically extracted and imported into new mkv.

[stryker412]

I loaded up the BD so I could encode it down to 720p. However, when I hit encode there is no info at the bottom of the ripbot screen saying what % it's at. It's completely blank. I don't remember it doing this on other encodes. I checked my CPU usage and it's 50% so it appears ripbot is going, and the temp folder has all the files in it. I just have no display to see how it's going.


Edit: Looks like I have the same issue as Ken does. x264_x86.exe is only using 620k of memory but 50% CPU.

Hi,

Have a bit of an issue, trying to re-encode 'Cloverfield' blu ray to 480x272 with the PSP profile. It whizzes through the encode at something silly like 500fps and then gives me an MP4 which is only something like 8 minutes long. If I don't resize and use the Blu Ray profile it correctly re-encodes.

Anyone got any idea what is causing this?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Uninstall AviSynth , Haali Media Spliter , FFdshow. Update manually x264_x86.exe (http://jeeb.fiveforty.jp/x264/1235/x264.exe) and x264_x64.exe (http://jeeb.fiveforty.jp/x264/1235_x64/x264.exe)

I hope this helps.

[hoju3508]

@Atak,

I was curious of the command that you use when running BDSup2Sub. I have a BD that's 24fps instead of 23.976fps and the subtitle is out of sync.

I manually ran the following from the cmd shell:

% java -jar BDSup2Sub.jar 4_Subtitles_English.sup 4_Subtitles_English_1080.sup /res:1080 /fps:keep


Now, the sup file is 24fps instead of 23.976fps. I was curious if you passed other options.

:thanks: -Hoju

[BDFreak]

Hey, i would like to know what setting is more good? Im ripping right now at 1080p (HD full) and with QC - 20. It gives me about 10-15gig each movies. Its big but i dont really want to loose quality. Can i go 22? Or you could see the diference? I have a 48inch Plasma TV. And is QC better than 2 pass method? I know with QC i cant make the output size. So im gessing thats better right?

PS: and all the other programmes, like ffdshow, haali media splitter, do i need to change some of these settings? Or its all good if i keep it like it is?

Hope you guys can help :) Cya!

ohh yeah.. I use MKV for file format, and also 640kbps (the better one).

[gr1mmj0w]

Be more specific. Where are you selecting the subtitle. Hint: selecting the subtitle for the demuxing process doesn't automatically add it to the encode.

[gr1mmj0w]

I'll check when I get home.

for the demuxing process I would pick the subtitle but on the main encoding screen (ie. where you pick bitrate, name, audio,video) there is a small area to add subtitles.

I add it there also and still nothing.

[cconnell]

Two questions. First thanks for Ripbot. When creating a mkv I do not have the Copy Stream option for a HD-DVD. Is this possible? Does Ripbot support TrueHD in a mkv? My next question is why does Ripbot only have a 4.0 profile not a 4.1 profile? Thanks in advance.

[JimmyFace]

I'll check when I get home.

I had the same issue. Wouldn't show up and no players could display it even though it appeared to be added when viewing the encoded video file with mediainfo. When trying to add the sub with build in picture, ripbot would just hang after the encoding was finished, freezing on "muxing".

[prettyboy85712]

My next question is why does Ripbot only have a 4.0 profile not a 4.1 profile? Thanks in advance.You can edit the profiles and make your own.

[cconnell]

Okay I did some more research. The only difference between 4.0 and 4.1 is bitrate. The author of RipBot feels strongly that there is no reason to go to 4.1. What does the bitrate mean in terms of quality? If there is no difference why does the standard exist? Thanks.

[stryker412]

delay is constant?

Hard to tell, it seems to start off in sync but looses it quickly. I tried a bunch of delay settings and then previewed. I couldn't get it to stay in sync.

The original file is fine, btw.

I had the same issue. Wouldn't show up and no players could display it even though it appeared to be added when viewing the encoded video file with mediainfo. When trying to add the sub with build in picture, ripbot would just hang after the encoding was finished, freezing on "muxing".

yeah, I never had it freeze on me but I never was able to find a good program to build in picture.

:/ I'm still lost on why the subtitles aren't working.

[gav1577]

:/ I'm still lost on why the subtitles aren't working.

If your resizing to 720 from 1080 i have noticed that you need to select the the subs last after you have selected the resize. If you select the subs before you select the resize the subs remain at 1080 and wont be converted to 720. This may be your problem gr1mmj0w btw Atak you may want to look into this problem could be a bug.

I'm ripping @ 1080p, I never resize the rip.

I store my rips on a nasbox so I can easily stream to my PS3 (which I love oh so much)

[gr1mmj0w]

:(

Now after redoing my machine and installing everything that I did from my prev Windows 7 install, ripbot hangs at "Please wait....Gathering information"

[Atak_Snajpera]

this might be your problem! Ps3 does not show subs from .m2ts container! You must burn whole avchd structure on dvd.

[stryker412]

this might be your problem! Ps3 does not show subs from .m2ts container! You must burn whole avchd structure on dvd.

I use Another EAC3toGui for forced subtitles, it burns them into the video. Makes things much easier when streaming to the PS3.

[gr1mmj0w]

this might be your problem! Ps3 does not show subs from .m2ts container! You must burn whole avchd structure on dvd.

oh wow, I didn't think of that :), when I played them on computer (the whole AVCHD folder through vlc) it wouldn't acknowledge the subs either but if they need to be on disc then that could very well be the issue.

Thank you good sir, now if I can get this hanging issue fix I would be back on the grind :)

what tool do you use for this? I would greatly appreciate, I would love to burn the subtitles to the video.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I would love to burn the subtitles to the video.
You can burn subtitles in ripbot as well. Properties -> subtitles

[gr1mmj0w]

I'm a dum dum, I remember seeing this option before and couldn't remember for the life of me where it was lol.
thanks again sir.

If I open up an "264" video, It should creat an Index file using DGIndex, right?
what if it does not?

When I open it, the "Browse(...)" button gray-out and the "Abort" button become click-able,
but it just stuck, nothing appear in temp folder

I know it's my problem cause it works great on other PC
but I have just no idea what's causing it.


Thank you.

[Atak_Snajpera]

If I open up an "264" video, It should creat an Index file using DGIndex, right?
Wrong. AVC files are indexed by DGAVCDec.

I know it's my problem cause it works great on other PC
but I have just no idea what's causing it.
Change temp location in .ini

[NiGHTsC]

Wrong. AVC files are indexed by DGAVCDec.oops.
Change temp location in .iniAlready did, changed to J:\ from I:\, same thing happent.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Put 264 into mkv. Make sure You specify correct fps value!

[NiGHTsC]

Actually, this 264 came from an MKV.
I just extract it out cause I don't want to skip the index creating step.

I loaded RipBot on the another computer wtih same folder and DGAVCDec ran without problem
so I'm just wondering what could stop it from running.


Thanx again.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Actually, this 264 came from an MKV.
I just extract it out cause I don't want to skip the index creating step.
Indexing is only required if you want frame accurate access. When you just convert whole file (linear access) you don't need indexing!

[NiGHTsC]

Yah I understand that.

I'm just used to use index to find out if the video is corrupted due to some download failures.
It did help me sometimes, plus it takes only few more secs, so I always run in this way ;)

oh by the way, this problem only occur after I upgrade to 1.14.3, was using 1.14.2.

[Guest]

I'm just used to use index to find out if the video is corrupted due to some download failures. If you discuss downloaded MKVs again, you'll get struck.

[NiGHTsC]

Even the MKV is legal?

[stryker412]

Sorry, I was not in front of my usual computer. This is the error I get when I am trying to re-encode a vc1 m2ts file.


Thanks in advance for your help !!

I'm also having issues with VC1 encodes. Whenever I do a VC1 movie, the process finishes in about 1-2 minutes with no file produced. AVC encoded movies work fine. I do not get any errors though, it just stops encoding.

Hi Atak,

I have a problem with the PS3 not detecting a .AVCHD file.
It's the first time I actually use RipBot264 and I quite love it, but I don't know why the PS3 doesn't want to play it.

I copied over the output AVCHD folder and all its subfolders onto a USB-stick, perhaps that's not the correct way to do it ?

[stryker412]

Has anyone had any luck converting "The Dark Knight"? It stops only 1 minute or so into the process.

[dbone1026]

Has anyone had any luck converting "The Dark Knight"? It stops only 1 minute or so into the process.

I converted The Dark Knight without a problem with Ripbot (8GB mkv) but this was done when teh movie first came out on Blu Ray so it would have been an older version of RipBot

[Atak_Snajpera]

use dvd+rw. copy only directories inside .avchd folder.

[stryker412]

Yep I tried again and it crashed x264_x86.exe. It's odd because Ripbot has been working fine on other movies.

Where did you get the MKV file?

[Betsy25]

Where did you get the MKV file?

Hhhhhh, here we go again....:rolleyes:

As I stated early, I created an .mkv backup (as that was the best method that time) of my ORIGINAL dvd about a good year ago, I bought the DVD for, as far as I remember €6.95 if you want as much details as possible. I sold it on Yezzz! (a Belgium second held site for selling and buying second hand stuff).

I created an .mkv because that was then the best format regarding quality/size-wise.

I'll try to find an AnyDVD log file, hopefully it wasn't deleted since I altered quite a lot on my XP partition since then.

May I ask you a question neuron, don't take this as an attack, but why is the trend here to help and support countless touls that are aimed at creating an .MKV from a DVD, but once someone is willing to use that .mkv as an imput all hell breaks loose, and the pirate fingers are all around.

I now don't have the original anymore, and I want to watch the movie on my PS3, but this ones doesn't support .mkv (If I only knew that, I perhaps wouldn't have bought a PS3 in the first place, since I only use it for media, not for it's (crap) games)

May I ask you this serious request : PLEASE! BAN every front-end creators that allows users to create an .mkv file from a DVD source. At least then your own soul will be treated.

[Guest]

I sold it on Yezzz! (a Belgium second held site for selling and buying second hand stuff). I've deleted all posts subsequent to this rule violation. I'm striking this due to your poor attitude. Do not post about this issue again.

Negative

[Tycketoryde]

Ripped a Region "A" Disk. TSmuxer shows it as 1080i and Ripbot's "Media Info" as 29.97 fps. Its quite obvious watching the M2TS File that the Movie is interlaced, and needs to be deinterlaced.

I'm certain I did not accidentally change the FPS anywhere, as that's is, for all Intents and Purposes, rather pointless.

.ts or .m2ts file Loaded into Ripbot (without making any changes to the "Output Speed" or changing any "Default Settings" within the "Properties" Button), it shows as follows:

FPS: 1387.35
Frames: 12,391,495
Duration: 2:28:51:773

There is no Way it's 1387.35 FPS, nor 12 Million plus Frames. The only Thing correct here is the Duration of the Movie. So I go ahead and start the 2-Pass encode, and it tells me it takes 143 Hours to finish the first Pass.

So I abort, and try the 23.976 FPS Setting, hoping this might correct things, since most rips are 23.97 FPS.

And now it reads as follows:

FPS: 23.976
Frames: 12,391,495
Duration: 143:33:49:123

In other words, the Movie would be 143 Hours long when done.

Ripbot's "Deinterlaced" Function is greyed out, so obviously either Ripbot or the h264 Encoder cannot deal with it.

This is the first and only time I have ever run into this, and only with this particular Title.

Your average Movie has about 150,000 Frames, not 12 Million, so I figure it must be accounting for the interlaced picture portions, maybe not?

Nevertheless, what is the Solution for this? Where is the Hitch that prevents x264 encoding, preferably in under 300 Hours? With well over 250 encodings using Ripbot, I have never even run into even 1 single Hick-up with it, but this one has left me utterly dumbfounded.

Done. ---> 50MB Sample (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=ebbfcb24fdd2d68d0c814df2efeadc50e04e75f6e8ebb871)

50MB (00001.ts_0) uploaded, done with DGSplit. Shows the first Half Minute Warsaw City Overview 1939 in Black & White as Background Lead-in Intro for the Main Movie Feature filmed in 2001.

I loaded that very first split Part into Ripbot and it reads as follows:

FPS: 1387.5
Frames: 44301
Duration: 0:0:31.932

Again, the "Duration" is correct, "FPS" & "Frames" are off.

The other Parts, even if renamed to .ts ... will not load into Ripbot without "avs" Error Messages.

I also copied a 50MB Chunk from the beginning of the Movie with TSRemux, and loaded that into Ripbot as well. All Infos were 100% correct. It appears DGSplit & TSRemux do not function the same Way when extracting a Portion. I sent up per your Request the DGSplit Portion.

However, larger than 200 MB Chunks extracted with TSRemux also show the Errors as above.

I also just tested this Movie by dropping it into "ConvertXtoDVD 3.51". Did the Job in the usual Time, burned the DVD-R, plays perfectly on my Home DVD Player.

"TMPGEnc 4.0 Express" correctly shows 267,685 Frames, but hangs after 2 Minutes of encoding to BDVM. Pretty much the same happens when encoding to DivX.

In "ConvertXtoBD" (or whatever that Front End is called), also lists the Movie as having more than 12 Million Frames, detecting it primarily as a "Telecine" Composition.

ok sorry never mind i installed the specific 3013 revision of ffdshow that comes in 32/64 bit revisions the never ones dont work and they keep the video playing when you close WMP so there are some issues stick with the clisd 3013 build until and updated one is required for RipBot264. also if your need any other codecs like divX and XviD install them after FFDshow. otherewise there will be problems with rip bot

You can try using BDSup2Sub to convert blu subtitles to dvd subtitles. Having the idx/sub file you can convert them to whatever you want with another tool.

[Atak_Snajpera]

@Tycketoryde
Solution to your problem:
1) Go to Properties -> Show Script
2) modify line below #VideoSource

video=DirectShowSource("C:\Users\Dawid\Desktop\00001.ts",fps=29.97,framecount=xxxxxx ,audio=false).ConvertToYV12()

where xxxxxx = duration in seconds * 29.97

3) Add this line below #Deinterlace

Loadplugin("X:\...xxxxx...\RipBot264\Tools\AviSynth plugins\TIVTC\TIVTC.dll")
video=tfm(video,order=1).TDecimate

where xxxxx is correct path

Followed the Instructs to a "T" ... 3 Times.

Ensured Path to "TIVTC.dll" is correct.

No Command Conflicts exist within any of the Lines of the \RipBot264temp\job1\*.avs Files.

Within 1 Second of hitting the "Start" Bottom, I get almost instant Feedback that "All Jobs are finished".

I check the video.264 File, its Zero-Byte.

I noticed, that depite the Changes to the Script File, it still reads:

FPS: 1387.35
Frames: 12,391,495
Duration: 2:28:51:773

... in Ripbot's Edit Job Window after the "Done" Button was hit.

Below is an exact Copy of the "Show Script" Window used:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#VideoSource

video=DirectShowSource("L:\BluRay\Pianist\00001.ts",fps=29.97,framecount=267,690 ,audio=false).ConvertToYV12()

#Deinterlace

Loadplugin("L:\Ripbot\Tools\AviSynth plugins\TIVTC\TIVTC.dll")
video=tfm(video,order=1).TDecimate

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

Update:

Used ---> audio.1 - Log.txt to get the Frame Count, which is off by 3 Frames when compared to the "FPS*Duration" Math. Also removed the "Comma" from the Frame Value.

Still not working. I then updated the job1.ini ...

SourceFPS=
SourceNumberOfFrames=

... to reflect the new accurate Values and its now encoding.

Much slower, but down to 4 Hours on Pass 1 which I guess can only be expected when De-interlacing/Decimating.

I'll let the Movie encode, will report back on Results.

Thank you very much for all your Help.

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

also i was wondering how to get subtitles from Bluray. Right now i use SubRip to rip them from DVD. prefered output is .ass/.ssa or .srt
Same. Use "Subrip" and make UTF-8 SRTs for Bluray.

Rip the *.sup from the Bluray too, then load it into Subrip.

You can also download them from here ---> Subscene (http://subscene.com/search.aspx)

You can try using BDSup2Sub to convert blu subtitles to dvd subtitles.
Wonder why they'd even think of doing that, since the DVD Sub Time Line is rarely, if ever the same as the Bluray Subtitle Track, even if you can convert Formats.

Check it out for yourself. Go to Subscene.com, download a DVD SRT and use it on a Bluray Rip. It won't match. You could use an SRT Editor such as 'Jubler' to "re-sync", but your Offsets would often be in Terms of Minutes, not just a Second or 2. You could spend Days re-lining up 1,800 Dialog Items to get them reasonably well dead on. And now and then a 30 Second Segment will be found on the Bluray that was substituted for another Clip on the DVD with more Dialog Entries, and you'd be renumbering the Works top to Bottom.

You actually need to do it once to know what I am talking about.

I suggest to just download your Subs for either your DVD or BD-Rip and save yourself a few Years of your Life. You can crack open the SRT Sub in Notepad, copy the contents into MS Word, spell-check, and make corrections to your Subs. Finding better than 200 Errors is not out of the ordinary, but then making your own Subs if you can't spell either won't make it any easier.

what is the difference between the idx/sub file and ass/ssa/srt ?

i have converted sub to srt because ripbot didnt like the .sub file that was in the mkv. I used subresync in vobsub to do this.

SourceFPS=
SourceNumberOfFrames=

... to reflect the new accurate Values and its now encoding.
I never suggested you did. It just dawned on me after I made the previous Post that I had inadvertently added a Comma, which as a Matter of Habit I routinely do. Thus I gave a Progression of my Actions above. Maybe someone can learn, as I did, what not to do.

Thx for all the Help. Will update on Results.

Error: The source file 'L:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\video.mkv' could not be opened successfully, or retrieving its size by seeking to the end did not work.
Delete the \RipBot264temp\ Folder and everything underneath it, then try again.

Remove everything first, such as *.264, M2TS Files or anything else in there, or that you have set/copied there that is valuable to you, and move it elsewhere.

I recommend not to keep your Source Files (M2TS) nor set to have your finished encoded MKVs copied to \RipBot264temp or any of its Sub-Dirs.

Me suspects yooz tryan' ta write a new File with same Name to a Directory already containing a File with that Name.

. After it says analyzing there is no playlist no audio and no subs. When i click ok i get this DirectShowSource:
couldn't open fileL:\temp\ripbot264temp\job1\video1.mkv:the system cannot find the file specified.

Can you tell me whats causing this.I have gotten rid of all ripbpot temp folders and i get the same result.

Probably you did not decrypt your Blu-Ray movie.

Thanks Atak that was the problem.:)

I like to use Clown_BD (GUI) as a pre-processor for RipBot264. You can pick and chose the subtitles that you want and it will extract them from the Blu-ray for you.

You don't have to grab them from the DVD.

also i was wondering how to get subtitles from Bluray. Right now i use SubRip to rip them from DVD. prefered output is .ass/.ssa or .srt

[Tycketoryde]

@ Atak_Snajpera
Encoding Job came out Picture Perfect. Thx again for all the Help.

Have a Request ... not sure if this is in the Form of adding Features, or Setting Changes I can make myself.

1. The Re-encoded AC3 File gets deleted after the encoding is complete. Anyway to prevent that? I'd like to keep it.

2. Opt not to have the .264 & .ac3 file packed into a Container after encoding is complete. First Thing I do is delete the MKV anyways, as I pack everything myself to be written for DVD-R-DL Burning.

3. Option to load AC3 and DTS Tracks into Ripbot for re-encoding Audio only. Eac3to GUI always crashes on me, and is of no use. Currently, I just load any VC-1/264 into Ripbot, and then manually load any other DTS/AC3 Audio File on my HDD of my Choice to be re-encoded.

4. Manual Editing/Scripting to allow Custom-Setting of final File Sizes of encoding Jobs, and have these locked in permanently for Selection. For Instance, the current 8150 Setting for Dual Layer Media is 7 MBs over Disk Capacity for MKVs. I reset to 8140 to end up with a 7.95GB File that barely fits a DL Disk. Sometimes I forget to re-set it back to 8140 when starting another Job a few Days later, and then I have to re-encode the Audio, trim off the Movie End Credits, etc. to get the File Size down so I can burn it.

I'm still having issues with x264_x86.exe crashing on VC1 titles.
They don't happen to come from a WMV Container by any Chance?

[stryker412]

what i meant is that when ripping subtitles from i use SubRip. I do not use subs from dvds on Bluray rips

according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-R_DL#Recordable_DVD_capacity_comparison . DVD+DL = 8152 MB.

[Tycketoryde]

according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-R_DL#Recordable_DVD_capacity_comparison . DVD+DL = 8152 MB.
That may well be. Fact is, an encoding Setting of 8150 packed into MKV results in a File Size that is 7 MBs too big for a DL. Test it yourself.

Regardless, my Question was ... if I can somehow make custom Scripts for these Types of Settings for the Reasons I already mentioned above. I'm not sure if the MKV Container adds much Overhead, but if it does, it's under 1 MB.

Both the packed MKV, as well as both the .264 Video File + AC3 with a Setting of 8150, will read 7.96 MBs, 7MBs too much for a DL.

I don't remember what the exact Setting Numbers for DL were in RipBot264v1.14.2, but the resultant encoded File Size was always 7.94 GBs, thus it never came to my Attention until I upgraded to RipBot264v1.14.3 and also overwrote the x264_x64/86.exe at the same Time, per your Instructs a few Forum Pages back.

Hi Atak,

I have finally purchass an new AMD Phenom II X4 940 3.0ghz quad-cores, 8mb buffer processor. I have sell it my old athlon 64 x2 6400+. Im impatient to install new processor and make an conversion to see difference. :-) :rolleyes:

[Shkelton]

Hello Atak

Hoping you can point me in the right direction.

I have the latest ripbot, instealled AVisynth, ffdshow, haali media splitter and .Net Framework is the latest via windows update. AnyDVD HD. I get as far as it seeing the movie, I pick the chapters and audio file. It then tries to do something. After about 30 minutes a classic version of media player comes up with a blank screen. I have tried both directly from the Bluray and using AnyDVD to first rip to hard drive. Any thoughts? Using Vista 32 bit, c drive is main drive D drive is my storage drive.

[unimatrix0]

Hey Atak,

Could you consider adding support for 2 (or more) audio tracks? It would save me and possibly others lots of time. I hope you can make it, if not thanks anyway for the hard work and looking forward to the next update.

Thanks,

I have asked this question as well as several others and the answer is always no.

[dirk362]

Fails in both both audio and video encoding if I don't alter (resize) the video ?

Input is a TS file from DVB-S and plays fine, passes TS Doctor etc - so no issues with source.

If I set to 2-pass, but don't resize this fails after a few seconds. Looking at logs and running the CMD files manually I see:-

audio errors with
Input file must be WAV PCM!

video errors with
avis [error]: unsupported input format (DIB )
x264 [error]: could not open input file 'd:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\job1.avs'

If I put in a video resize (which basically adds the following line to the AVS job file)
#Resize
Video=Spline36Resize(video,640,352).Sharpen(0.2)

Then both audio and video encode fine ? ! ?

Any clue as to why this would be the case as I'm totally confused ! Why can't I take the original input of 544x576 as broadcast ?
I've converted loads of TS files and have always changed them to 640x352, but this is an overhead in the encoding and it's not really needed. But without it, RipBot fails to work :( And I've also tried several files that have previously encoded fine so its not the source (unless how I create them has always been at fault)

i am haveing a problem with ripbot when the latest version of divx is installed with ffdshow. i starts a file to convert it says encoding then just stops and says its done. i think it may be because divx now includes a h.264 and AAC direct show filters. i need to figure out how to keep both ripbot264 divx bundle ffdshow and ac3 filter (divx requires this to decode AC3 audio) all working on my computer i could careless what is used to play the files as long as the correct encoders are encoding in the correct programs

i think it might be a problem with 1.14.3 because this problem started once i installed the new version. i went back to .1 then .2 and everything seems to be working and i can even use AC3filter for playback. Before just to get ripbot to work i couldnt even have divx, xvid, ac3filer installer otherwise it would give me an error saying couldnt encode the audio or would say its encoded the video in a few secods when it really sdidnt do anything it just started and stopped. So for right now im sticking with 1.14.1 because so far it works with everything and ffdshow 3013

[TheProfosist]

Also another comment i dislike how .3 defaults to the desktop for saving files previous versions of the program default to the temp directory which is what i use because file names and lengths can come in consideration because the desktop folder is pretty deep in

Same. Use "Subrip" and make UTF-8 SRTs for Bluray.

Rip the *.sup from the Bluray too, then load it into Subrip.

You can also download them from here ---> Subscene

Wonder why they'd even think of doing that, since the DVD Sub Time Line is rarely, if ever the same as the Bluray Subtitle Track, even if you can convert Formats.

Check it out for yourself. Go to Subscene.com, download a DVD SRT and use it on a Bluray Rip. It won't match. You could use an SRT Editor such as 'Jubler' to "re-sync", but your Offsets would often be in Terms of Minutes, not just a Second or 2. You could spend Days re-lining up 1,800 Dialog Items to get them reasonably well dead on. And now and then a 30 Second Segment will be found on the Bluray that was substituted for another Clip on the DVD with more Dialog Entries, and you'd be renumbering the Works top to Bottom.

You actually need to do it once to know what I am talking about.

I suggest to just download your Subs for either your DVD or BD-Rip and save yourself a few Years of your Life. You can crack open the SRT Sub in Notepad, copy the contents into MS Word, spell-check, and make corrections to your Subs. Finding better than 200 Errors is not out of the ordinary, but then making your own Subs if you can't spell either won't make it any easier.

right now what i do for DVDs (i have not fully ripped a Bluray yet as i want to finish all of my dvds first) is i rip the subs from the dvd using subrip to a .srt then eit the srt for errors using notepad and word.

so your saying its possible to use sub rip to rip the subs from blurays as well. i didnt know this was possible since it looks for vob's and ifo's which are dvd file formats

[Nemesis7]

Hey mate,

do you consider implementing anamorphic encoding?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Hey mate,

do you consider implementing anamorphic encoding?

Ripbot264 will automatically encode as anamorphic if resolution is 1440x1080 , 1280x1080 , 720x480 , 720x576 , 704x576 or 704x480

i think it may be because divx now includes a h.264 and AAC direct show filters. i need to figure out how to keep both ripbot264 divx bundle ffdshow and ac3 filter (divx requires this to decode AC3 audio) all working on my computer i could careless what is used to play the files as long as the correct encoders are encoding in the correct programs
I really don't understand why you need divx decoder??? Ffdshow HAS everything you need! Multithreaded avc decoder plus aac , ac3 , dts , TrueHd decoder ... and so on

Also another comment i dislike how .3 defaults to the desktop for saving files previous versions of the program default to the temp directory which is what i use because file names and lengths can come in consideration because the desktop folder is pretty deep in
I did this for my convenience. Besides did you even bother to see what options you have in ripbot264.ini?

i need both the decoder and encoder in order to use divx converter thats also the main reason why i need ac3filter. Also ac3 filer i believe does a better hob with most audio especially when u output through SPDIF. but that just my opinion. previous versions or ripbot had no trouble with the other encoders/decoders being there. but 1.14.3 has tons of issues and will try to use divx even if its no the default which is on since .1 and .2 were fine with them.

Also i didnt even try to look through that ini i didnt know i should have been ill take a look when i have some time late this week

[Atak_Snajpera]

I'd like to encode movies for my iPhone from HD or Blu-ray source in one of these dimensions (depending on the aspect ratio of the source):

640x360 -> 853x360

[stryker412]

Atak, question about movie with forced subtitles (ie. Iron Man). Does Ripbot know which subtitle track those subs are located in? How can I tell?

For instance, in Iron Man (Chapter 10) there is a very brief scene that has Arabic spoken. I want to make sure it's included (burned in the video) in my MKV. I missed it the first time I made it.

Hi stryker412

I have come across this issue in one of my encodes, the movie name slips my mind at the moment, a while back.

What I did was I checked all the subtitle*.srt files that RipBot264 dumped under the job* folder and opened them up with notepad and checked them one by one.

Luckily I only had 2 subtitle*.srt to check. You might want to check the smallest of them all, when I mean smallest I mean in kb, as normally that is the one that has the hard coded subs.

Please don't quote me on that one as this might not be the case, but it doesn't hurt to try first.

Regards

EDIT1: Once you find the subs your looking for, go under "Properties" in "Picture Properties" window and on the pull down menu, should be third option, in "Subtitles" choose "Build in picture" to include it as hard coded subs.

[kikker]

Atak, Any chance of allowing the user to mux multiple audio streams rather than just one as it stands now? :thanks:

Also, regarding subs, allowing an output of PGE as a stream within an MKV doesn't make much sense, as they aren't usable, are they? I'm not aware of a directshow filter to see and select for them in a directshow based player. Just wondering if they couldn't be converted to vobsub on the fly with something like BDsup2sub. Thanks...

[TheProfosist]

Why do you need that crapy divx converter????

its a very easy way to do mass conversions to divx which is what i prefer to use because it is compatible with more systems and runs better on older systems its just my preference.
and since ripbot .1 and .2 worked with it installed why shouldn't .3

I fixed this; I isntalled ripbot without uninstalling Klite meida pack (against Atak's recommendations). It results in the problem you describe.

Everything worked as long as I uninstalled K-lites FFDshow and installed the latest full one from the FFDshow site.

Try it - should get you working - I have ripbot and k-lite working on 3 separate pcs that way.

Hi

I have been using ripbot for almost a year now and love the program. Awesome job Atak!

I ran into a problem the other day, i loaded one of my movie (shinobi) and it loaded fine, it extracted the audio and video perfectly and i started the conversion with 2 pass 6000kbps and convert audio to ac3 640. It converted the movie in 4:28 hours but it didnt save the movie anywhere on my computer, i have plenty of hard drive space. So i figured i did something wrond an reloaded everything and it did the same thing. I tried to save it on another hard drive thinking that was maybe the problem but its still the same.

Has this happened to anyone before?

Hi,

If you want to use multiples language, you have another software available to do it.

HDConvertToX was offering multiples languages. I use it to convert and keep 2 languages. A little bit more complicated to used vs. Ripbot264. You need to know some x264 commands for filters (Addborders) etc.

But ripbot264 is very easy to use and fast understanding. :thanks:

Hi stryker412

You can try using MKVtoolnix, but unfortunately they wont be hardcoded or you can re-encode again, it's up to you.

If there is another way of doing this someone might post a different approach on how to do it. You can try and see if it works for you.

Like I said before, it wont heart to try.

Also, I don't have a BD which has the main movie split into multiple M2TS's so I can't test, but because your app sees playlists, does it also automatically append the M2TS's together into one before it does its magic? Or, must that be done manually with Tsmuxer before loading the M2TS? Thanks!

Correct if I'm wrong, but if Ripbot sees two playlists that may be sufficiently long to constitute a full movie, both playlists will appear in the drop down menu so as to be able to select one or the other. Is this correct?

Hi Atak! EXCELLENT prog........, EXCEPT the gray on white fine text on your GUI is VERY difficult to read on my 1600x1200 CRT! Is there a way to alter the GUI to make it more readable?

Is there a way to add chapter marks to a Blu Ray output project? I didn't see one, but the project I just completed had 5 min chapters "built in". I have a txt file with the chapter marks I need. How do I "input" those numbers?

One more question! I'm taking a 720x480 analog VHS "capture" & I want to "crop" it from the existing 4x3 to 16x9 with NO distortion. My output will be 1.78:1, 1280x720 Blu Ray. I can fudge around with the crop settings until I think it looks pretty good in the preview window, but is there a "standard" set of numbers or a "calculation" I can apply to do the crop?

Thanks & have a nice day!

MKVMerge GUI - do it manually

Or wait..... by Blu Ray ouput project you mean you are going to make an AVCHD disk out of it? That would be done with an alternative program, dont know myself.

Just crop with 60 values and then select SD-NTSC 720x480 from the list (blu-ray also supports SD resolutions)

[Tycketoryde]

so your saying its possible to use sub rip to rip the subs from blurays as well.
Haven't ripped any DVD Subs since 2000 for DivX 3.11 and Nandub SBC encoding, and only by Demand by Foreigners on Usenet. Since DVD-Rs dropped in Price almost in-line with CD-Rs, I went the Way of DVDshrink/DVDFab and only removed Subs I didn't want, and thus never had any need to bother with them until the Blue-ray Era came around.

I have only used Subrip for Blu-rays, never for DVDs.

After you have ripped your Blu-ray Movie Title with AnyDVD, DVDFab, etc. to your HDD, load the largest *.m2ts File into TSMuxer, "Checkmark" and "Demux" the PGC Stream, which is usually shown under the Video and Audio Track in the "Input" Tab in the "Tracks" Window. (Sometimes you may have to load the Blu-ray Movie Title's proper Playlist in order to assemble the "itty-bitty" Pieces of the Movie, but that is not all that common. Every 50th Movie or so you'll run into one of these, such as "Hancock" with Will Smith).

The demuxed PGC will have a *.sub Extension, and you load that into Subrip, run your OCR, make your Corrections, save as SRT. You can download SRT Subs for just about every Blu-ray Title out there, you'd be hard-pressed not to find one.

vob's and ifo's
For Blu-ray, you "usually" look for the largest M2TS of the Disk ripped to HDD and load that into TSmuxer. Run Windows "Search" to find it in the Disk Structure, its always in the same Folder BD to BD. It will extract a *.sub File which you can load into Subrip

i am haveing a problem with ripbot when the latest version of divx is installed with ffdshow.
The "K-Lite Codec Pack" will now request you uninstall/overwrite your Existing DivX Software, basically uninstalling it. Most People don't realize they are playing with the "Re-format" Fire when installing Codecs & Codec Packages on top of each other. I only have the "K-Lite Codec Pack" on my Computer, nothing else. And everything works perfect, nothing else needed, not even WMP 11.

In Fact, I always install the "Windows XP Performance Edition" which has all MS Media Crap ripped out of it down to the Bone, thus never any Conflicts. I bet better than half the People out there with "Ripbot" Issues have actually created a major Codec Mess that requires the "Clean Re-install" Axe.

DivX/XviD is now the Codec Collapse of Rome. I don't like the DivX-**** anyways, they turned something that used to be a free MS Hack into Profit.

runs better on older systems its just my preference.
In Fact x264 uses less Resources for Playback than DivX, even on older Systems. Just install the appropriate Codec Pack, and Way you go. DivX is History. Always encode where Future Technology will be.

it didnt save the movie anywhere on my computer
Look for the Container you encoded in, by Windows WildCard *.mkv/*.mp4 Search. If you saved your Movie to the \RipBot264temp Folder and then deleted Ripbot's Encoding Cue, you likely dumped it into the Recycle Bin. Check there too.

Atak, Any chance of allowing the user to mux multiple audio streams rather than just one as it stands now?
All it takes is just a little Math and know-how in packing Containers.

I only had 2 subtitle*.srt to check. You might want to check the smallest of them all, when I mean smallest I mean in kb, as normally that is the one that has the hard coded subs.
They are just UTF-8 Text Files, that's all. The smallest simply has the least Amount of Text, usually those SRTs in English, those without any Lines for the "Hearing Impaired", or was saved to the ANSI Format.

Can I just add a subtitle track to an existing mkv if I find later that I missed them
Yes. As long as the Sub is Compliant with Matroska Specs.

Hi Atak! EXCELLENT prog........, EXCEPT the gray on white fine text on your GUI is VERY difficult to read on my 1600x1200 CRT! Is there a way to alter the GUI to make it more readable?
Seconded !!!

Has anyone ripped a BD TV show? I'm just curious if each episode is generally its own m2ts file?

If you are unsure use either CLown_BD or MakeMKV, but Ripbot will show you the playlists as well (see post here - http://dbone1026.blogspot.com/2009/07/ripping-episodes-from-tv-series-dvd.html)

Did you take a look at the log file to see the last step when it's using tsmuxer and removing empty directories?

where can i find the log files after its completed? Is it in the ripbot temp folder and then the job folder?

[hoju3508]

It's in your Ripbot264v1.14.3\Logs\job[n]_log.txt (I'm using the latest version).

You should see something like this at the end of the log file -

If you want to convert a BD into a standard mkv with a DTS (non-HD) soundtrack, how can I do that? What codec allows you to do this?

[dbone1026]

If you want to convert a BD into a standard mkv with a DTS (non-HD) soundtrack, how can I do that? What codec allows you to do this?

What do you mean a standard mkv? You can use MakeMKV which will extract the core audio from the DTS-MA track, just leaving a DTS track. There is no encoding with MakeMKV like you do with Ripbot

[slow4mula]

i've used ripbot264 for almost a year now and i want to start doing bluray to avchd backups while keeping hd audio (dts-hd/true hd/etc.) in the form of lpcm or just stream copy with transcoded video to fit either dvd-dl (rarely) or mostly bd-r (for movies i really want to keep great video/audio quality).

i've been messing around the last few days and i got one bluray to work with lpcm by using stream copy in ripbot (nin beside you in time halo 22), but every other source i try upon muxing tsmuxer is throwing lpcm stream sync errors and it never muxes into avchd structure. also i see that ripbot downsamples from 24 bit to 16 bit when doing lpcm.

i tried using clownbd (eac3to) to extract the hd audio tracks and it works fine 24bit lpcm in .wav or w64 form, but if i try to add just a raw h264 stream and then the 24bit lpcm i get using clownbd it just sits there when trying to load the video source. even if that worked ripbot would just output a .wav that tsmuxer will reject. i tried exporting just video/hd audio into a .ts file from clownbd and it loads in ripbot264 fine, but there is no "copy stream" option in ripbot when loading lpcm in this method, it runs it through eac3to again.

is there any way to make this work? i just want to transcode the video to fit a dvd-dl/bd-r with lpcm 5.1 or 7.1 audio in avchd structure to play on my ps3.

i used clownbd to make a avchd structure with batman begins hd-dvd (original video/audio dolby true-hd) and burned it to bd-r and it works fine on my ps3, but it is smaller than 25gb.

is there a way ripbot264 can use the same eac3to settings as clownbd while allowing me to transcode the video to fit bd-r?


thanks.

Sorry I wasn't aware how DTS-MA tracks worked. I use ripbot because it is the only program (I know of) that will resize to 720p. I wasn't aware a DTS track is inside of a DTS-MA track.

If you don't have Arcsoft DTS-HD decoder installed then you get DTS-core (1,5Mbps)
If you have above decoder installed then you get DTS-MA decompressed to .wav or .flac
Decompressed audio can be converted to AC3 640 kbps (the same quality as DTS 1,5Mbps but 2.35 times smaller size)

Do you know why it was crashing on VC1 titles before the patch though? I have an AVC title that I'll test today just to be sure but I'm almost positive x264 only crashes on VC1 titles. Thanks for the update though, hopefully they'll fix whatever issue it is.

replace old x264_x86.exe with new one http://jeeb.fiveforty.jp/x264/1235/x264.exe

I replaced the new x264 (with C++ errors) with this one and so far no crash.

[kikker]

Atak,

If I have a TV series BD title with multiple episodes, each with its own playlist and list of streams, it would be just lovely if the workflow could be streamlined a bit. You see, when I try to queue up each episode one by one, Ripbot needs to re-analyze the entire BD for the playlist/stream structure for each of the episodes I add. It seems as if that should only have to take place before for the first job. In other words, if there are 4 episodes on the disc, one must wait for both the disc analysis and the demuxing for each of the 4 episodes added to the queue. Everything else is just great!

[stryker412]

Atak, your new 1.14.4 combined with the custom x264.exe you supplied me before so far has been working great. I've done one movie and 50% 1st pass on another with no crashes.

I have no idea but it did fix my issues. Just make sure to rename the existing x264 in case it doesn't work but at this point if the original doesn't work at all, what can it hurt?

other people are having issues going from blu-ray to avchd (bd-r size output) with transcoded video/lpcm (stream copy from dolby truehd)? i ALWAYS get an error when tsmuxer tries to mux the transcoded video/lcpm audio (lpcm bad frame detected).

clownbd works fine created a lcpm .wav from truehd that tsmuxer will accept. here are logs from clownbd (can we get the same lpcm audio handling in ripbot264)?

it just dawned upon me i can use clownbd to produce a tsmuxer compatible lpcm .wav and then launch ripbot, let it demux also, and then just feed it the .wav created from clownbd and stream copy while still having ripbot calc size and transcode video.

i'm doing transformers hd-dvd but i figure it should work, then i will do the dark knight blu-ray

1080p 50fps will only work on PS3 (level 4.2). Xbox360 does not support level 4.2!

2. I'm using Win7, the latest ripbot version and when I add a video ripbot never finishes the "Please wait... Gathering information step..." Any ideas?

mistype is 1.14.4 version. i test with 3 movies and samething. If i just change ripbot264 to ver 1.15.1 and left ffdshow ver, everythung is ok. samething with my new processor update.

thanks.

[slow4mula]

1080p 50fps will only work on PS3 (level 4.2). Xbox360 does not support level 4.2!

@slow4mula
I will add extra conversion from.wav to .w64 later. At the moment I'm in Poland on holidays.


thanks. i've been extracting the untouched truehd/dts-ma hd tracks the last day and muxing them with transcoded video with your app and just setting the size appropriately in ripbot264 and manually muxing with tsmuxer.

maybe it would be more useful to allow keeping the untouched true-hd/dts-ma hd tracks than converting to pcm through ripbot?

[raisinberry777]

Is it possibly to manually change the audo profiles in Ripbot like with the video profiles, or are we stuck with the options Ripbot gives us?

[QUEENFAN]

Good Morning,

I have a problem encoding HD-DVD-material using the HIGH 4 profile..
There is a green marging at the bottom of the picture. You can see another stripe with blurred color over the black bottom margin.
How can I avoid this ?

Thanks alot for your help.

That is what I was planning to try. How are your results? Any audio delays or other problems with playability?

[kikker]

Is this because Ripbot cannot (or will not) mux the TrueHD into an MKV? It would be helpful to know what is and is not allowed as far as audio goes with some sort of chart and what can be wrapped into what container. Also, why do people need the TMT DTS-MA decoder when ffdshow can do it now?

ffdshow can't actually decode the DTS-MA, it just decodes the regular dts core, not the -MA part.

[bbyers70]

Ripbot is a great tool but I do on occasion get errors with mp4box during the muxing stage. This problem does not happen with every movie but when it does, it doesnt matter what machine it was encoded on it always fails during the muxing stage.

I'm using the AppleTV preset with a video bitrate 6144 and audio set to 448 AC3. I will let ripbot264 complete the encode and mux it to a mkv file. The mkv is discarded since the appletv cannot read it. While the newly created audio.ac3 and video.264 files are still in the temp folder I use MP4Box to create a *.m4v file. I've know this work as I have done this over a hundred times in the past with videos on the appletv to prove it.

MP4Box supports the import of AC3 streams now. I'm using the example of a mp4 muxing that RipBot264 uses in the job1_MuxFiles.cmd file. I just remove the chapters section, since those types of chapters are not supported by the appletv, and the rename of the audio and output file names.

Example of mux command line.
"C:\Program Files\RipBot264\tools\mp4box\mp4box.exe" -tmp "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp" -ipod -brand M4VH:1 -add "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\video.264" -fps 23.976 -add "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\audio.ac3":lang=eng -mpeg4 -new "C:\Movies\New Movie (HD).m4v"

Attached is a screenshot of the MP4Box error.

I appriciate any help on this. It only happens on about 1 out of every 20 encodes.

Thanks.

[nekrosoft13]

I have no idea but it did fix my issues. Just make sure to rename the existing x264 in case it doesn't work but at this point if the original doesn't work at all, what can it hurt?

that worked, all good now ;)

[slow4mula]

That is what I was planning to try. How are your results? Any audio delays or other problems with playability?

nope it works pretty good actually. i've done two blurays with dts-ma hd and a few old hd-dvd discs and one bluray with dolby truehd and they all play fine on my ps3 without issue no audio sync issues at all. standalone players should play them fine as well i would think, but i dunno i don't see the point of a standalone blu-ray player over a ps3.

1. i just use clownbd to rip out the dts-ma hd/dolby true hd audio track from the source

2. input the bluray rip as usual into ripbot and select no audio.

3. i subtract the size of unaltered audio track from 23830mb (bd-r size preset in ripbot) and select two pass and input this value into ripbot so i don't have to calculate it myself. i would factor in ~200mb additional to the size of the audio track to make sure you don't transcode too large of a video track. i did a couple movies where the resulting video track was a little too large after muxing with the unaltered audio track and i had to cut some of the credits with tsmuxer or re-encode the video track again.

3. mux the video track from ripbot and the unaltered hd audio stream with tsmuxer to bluray and burn to bd-r.

bd-r discs are coming down in price, i've seen name brand stuff dip below $3.00 in quantities of 15, so for a movie i want a good backup of i am willing to spend a few bucks (plus some in electricity lol with these twp core i7 setups i have).

atak could add this functionality pretty easy i would think so it is as simple as creating a dvd-dl backup using ac3 5.1/dts 5.1 audio. it would be cool to see that happen since there is no reason to convert to lpcm for all hd audio sources. it just wastes space and possibly could lose quality. it also makes incompatible lpcm tracks that tsmuxer errors out on with sync issues. that is why it just dawned upon me to use the unaltered hd audio instead of converting it to lpcm. the only benefit i see to lpcm is it might be more widely compatible to some standalone bluray players? i know ripbot will always take 24 bit hd audio and downsample it to 16 bit to save space, but why even do that? also if you just mux the original hd audio track you don't have to screw with installing any kind of dts-ma hd decoder like arcsoft because you aren't converting to lpcm.

i would love to see ripbot just load a bluray playlist with the option to truly stream copy the dts-ma hd/true hd tracks and just transcode the video without using multiple tools. all clownbd is comprised of is eac3to and tsmuxer (i believe). this will truly be the optimal method as bd-r media continues to fall in price. even every 7.1 dts-ma hd track i have seen is only 5-7gb, so that still leaves a great deal of room for the transcoded video.

the only drawback with manually muxing with this method is you lose the chapter points, so the default is 5min intervals after this, but i don't really care about that at all...i think the predefined chapter points are pretty useless and would rather have fixed intervals. i'm sure there is probably a way to keep original chapter points with tsmuxer, but i could care less.

and just imho i still liked hd-dvd better as a format over blu-ray. honestly you don't need near 50gb of space for a damn movie. 30gb is more than sufficient with a good 1080p encode and writeable hd-dvd dl would probably been cheaper than bd-r.

i just did the king kong hd-dvd -> bd-r with this method and to me it is one of the best looking movies ever to be released on either format. it fits comfortably on a 30gb hd-dvd with hd audio and it is over 3 hours of runtime. i still wish hd-dvd was around so we might have gotten cheaper writeable 30gb discs. oh well.

here is my vote for true stream copying of hd audio tracks with ripbot :)

with a blu-ray to bd-r backup keeping the original audio track intact my original blu-ray could burn in a fire and i wouldn't feel like i really lost anything :) for $3 bucks and some time that is definately worth it to me.

again thanks atak for writing such a bomb gui/application. we all appreciate it!

Ripbot treats THD and DTS-MA differently, and I'm trying to figure out the reason why.

If a BD has a THD stream, and you select it to demux, you wind up with a demuxed LPCM (.wav) that has been converted from 24-bit to 16-bit, which is fine. But, if you want to mux an AC3 track into an MKV, the aften encoder is required. Why can't the core AC3 be demuxed like the DTS core is automatically extracted?

If a BD has a DTS-MA stream and you select it to demux, you wind up with a demuxed DTS core. If I had the TMT decoder, would Ripbot then demux to LPCM instead of the core DTS?

yes i think you will get lpcm. i haven't tested it though, i've just used eac3to from the command line to create a lpcm wav from dts-hd. maybe there is better compatibility with lpcm but the intact hd audio is so much smaller and doesn't cause all these issues with tsmuxer (and doesn't require arcsoft).

i just installed that older trial/update of tmt and it allowed eac3to to extract lpcm from dts-ma hd.

[mouw]

[kikker]

Is it really true that Ripbot no longer uses eac3to's ability to extract the core AC3 when selecting a TrueHD stream in the drop-down menu?? The core DTS is extracted just fine from the DTS-MA track.

Previous Ripbot tutorials allude to Ripbot being able to extract the core AC3, so is there a setting I'm missing? Thanks...

Thanks a lot. That is exactly how I was going to proceed. You just confirmed my intended steps and I am glad everything works in this method. I also hate that RipBot can not just leave the HD sound as is. That is its biggest negative, in my opinion.

Windows 7 x64, latest version of ripbot. AVI synth 2.58 and the last build of ffdshow.

I've got a bunch of TV series DVDs that I've ripped using makemkv. Basically mpeg2 stream and a single AC3 audio stream.

I don't know if I'm missing something but every thing I try via ripbot ends up with the audio out of sync. I'm basically just doing standard 4.0 profile CQ 18, with audio copied into another mkv container, no audio conversion.

Thoughts?

[BlindBandit]

Hey Atak Snajpera, in the near future you going to add the Zune HD profile since it has 480x272 16:9 res.

[wolfbane5]

I've been using ripbot for a while now on vista and it works great; however, I'll be switching to windows 7 in a couple of weeks and I was wondering if anyone has encountered any issues running ripbot on 7? Also, I was planning on installing 7 x64, so would the x64 version of the x264 codec automatically be installed with ripbot? Also, what do you gain from using x64 vs. x86 x264 codec?

Thanks.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I have been using RipBOt264 on Windows 7 RTM x64 without any problems. x64 x264 is around 5% faster than x86 version.

Always check audio synchronization in preview. if you see any problems adjust delay manually in ripbot264.

I also hate that RipBot can not just leave the HD sound as is. That is its biggest negative, in my opinion.

Ripbot treats THD and DTS-MA differently, and I'm trying to figure out the reason why.

If a BD has a THD stream, and you select it to demux, you wind up with a demuxed LPCM (.wav) that has been converted from 24-bit to 16-bit, which is fine. But, if you want to mux an AC3 track into an MKV, the aften encoder is required. Why can't the core AC3 be demuxed like the DTS core is automatically extracted?

If a BD has a DTS-MA stream and you select it to demux, you wind up with a demuxed DTS core. If I had the TMT decoder, would Ripbot then demux to LPCM instead of the core DTS?
TrueHD and DTS-MA have variable bitrate. Video bitrate for AVCHD can not be calculated if audio bitrate is not constant. So I decided to decompress TrueHD/DTS-MA to wav (constant bitrate). If you do conversion from HD-DVD/Blu-Ray to Blu-ray (23GB) then you have enough room for uncompressed audio. If you do conversion HD-DVD/Blu-Ray to MKV then I RECOMMEND to use lossless FLAC compression. (smaller size than TrueHD/DTS-MA). I also decided to downconvert from 24bit to 16bit because there is no difference in quality. You would have to have ULTRA expensive equipment to notice small difference. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_bit_depth#Digital_audio) Besides some movies have fake 24bit (16bit+8 empty bit).

DTS core is automatically extracted only if you don't have Arcsoft DTS-HD decoder installed. TrueHD is decoded by libav so you don't need extra decoder to get full hd audio. Remember TrueHD decompressed to .wav and encoded with Aften 640kbps = demuxed AC3 core. I prefer this method because I can increase volume during conversion. Also in terms of quality AC3 640 kbps = DTS 1509 kbps

[teddykgb1570]

Hey all,

I just recently installed 7 ultimate on my PC. I've used Ripbot a lot with Vista and it's worked great. I started up my first blu-ray encode on 7 and when it gets all the way complete it just starts over? This happens continuously. Anyone know why this is happening and how I can stop it?

Thanks!

[Jeff Flowerday]

Always check audio synchronization in preview. if you see any problems adjust delay manually in ripbot264.

Seems a little crazy that I have to manually adjust the audio delay to a value I don't know on 1000+ conversions, especially when they are all perfectly in sync in the my source mkv files. I really don't want to get the source discs out and rerip them.

Can I send you a small sample?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Can I send you a small sample?
yes you can. Use mediafire.com and dgsplit. 50 mb is ok.

[kikker]

DTS core is automatically extracted only if you don't have Arcsoft DTS-HD decoder installed.
That's great, which is why I *don't* have it installed.

TrueHD is decoded by libav so you don't need extra decoder to get full hd audio.

Why isn't there an option to simply extract the AC3 core from a TrueHD? I'm sure you would make many happy here. There is just something so comforting to know you are taking the original AC3 and NOT an encoded aften one. Many of us SPDIF to their sound system, and you cannot send FLAC over SPDIF - only AC3/DTS. :thanks:

I will repeat again. AC3 640 kbps = DTS 1,5 Mbps in terms of quality! So it is better to decompress DTS-MA with ArcSoft decoder and then encode to AC3. If you get the same quality why waste space for stupid DTS??????

[kikker]

OK, thanks for the reply, Atak. It would be great to have a little "core" box next to the "Flac" box, which would allow for the "-core" parameter of eac3to for TrueHD tracks. Would this be easy enough to do?

[PSPNut]

Is there a way to semi-permanently change the script for iPhone video conversion? For example, the default:

video=Spline36Resize(video,480,270).Sharpen(0.2).AddBorders(0,0,0,2)

I understand that AddBorders(0,0,0,2) is mostly for PSP since the first and last line is not displayed. This issue does not plague the iPhone and also, since the video is being downsampled, I wanted to opt for the simpler and faster BilinerResize:

video=BilinearResize(video,480,272).Sharpen(0.2)

This can be changed for each file being encoded, but it gets rather tedious if there is a large number of files being transcoded. I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this?

Also, I am curious to know if there is a way to convert an entire directory (full of DivX DVRs :)) with the same settings instead of a file at a time?

[stryker412]

Atak,

If I have a TV series BD title with multiple episodes, each with its own playlist and list of streams, it would be just lovely if the workflow could be streamlined a bit. You see, when I try to queue up each episode one by one, Ripbot needs to re-analyze the entire BD for the playlist/stream structure for each of the episodes I add. It seems as if that should only have to take place before for the first job. In other words, if there are 4 episodes on the disc, one must wait for both the disc analysis and the demuxing for each of the 4 episodes added to the queue. Everything else is just great!

Yes is there anyway to delay demuxing on TV shows? I'm currently ripping my Band of Brothers BD, and each disc has 2 episodes. You have to wait 15 minutes each episode just to set your options then queue. It would be nice to delay demuxing until right before you begin the process.

[wakebrder]

OK, thanks for the reply, Atak. It would be great to have a little "core" box next to the "Flac" box, which would allow for the "-core" parameter of eac3to for TrueHD tracks. Would this be easy enough to do?

Don't check the FLAC box, and you will have the option to "copy stream". That will give you core AC3 or DTS depending on what the disc is encoded with (True-HD or DTS-MA)

So, the option is already there.

[kikker]

No, it doesn't work that way. TrueHD is always uncompressed to WAV. There is no way to extract the core AC3 without another app. Which version are you running?

[Nkotok]

nope it works pretty good actually. i've done two blurays with dts-ma hd and a few old hd-dvd discs and one bluray with dolby truehd and they all play fine on my ps3 without issue no audio sync issues at all. standalone players should play them fine as well i would think, but i dunno i don't see the point of a standalone blu-ray player over a ps3.

again thanks atak for writing such a bomb gui/application. we all appreciate it!

I tried this way finally and have a couple of questions.
First, when you are extracting audio only through Clown_BD, what output format do you choose? I used TSmuxer's demux instead of Clown_BD to rip the audio off.

And secondly, after I used Ripbot for video only and then tried to mux it with the HD audio in TSmuxer, it worked but in the result the program always seems to show "B-pyramid level detected, shift DST 2 frames" (or something like that).
Does anybody know what this b-pyramid is and why it happens and if it is bad or not?

I'm trying to convert a 1920x1080@29.97fps transport stream to 720p@23.976fps but can't seem to get the Ripbot settings down. Media Info reports the former scan type as progressive so no deinterlacing is needed. But if I set Ripbot to decimate > 23.976fps only, the resulting video judders badly and the A/V is out of sync.

However, I've found that encoding without decimating, then remuxing the resulting .mkv in MKVMerge and flagging the video as 23.976fps, it plays back smoothly. Is it possible the original .ts is actually 23.976fps but is flagged incorrectly as 29.97fps? It's a HDTV cap of a film.

[pacaveli211]

anyone have a guide for setting options in the ini file?
I've already adjusted most of them as desired but I'd like to add:
LockSize=1
Size=7610
I already have
DefaultProfile=[HIGH 4.0] HD . BluRay . Consoles
DefaultEncodingMode=2-pass
DefaultModeValue=15000 (random number, if the above can be completed it will auto adjust the bitrate)

is there a way to add the locked file size?

[dirk362]

In the change log for 1.14.3 it was stated "Fixed: too big undersize for mkv", and I've had great success with 1.14.3 with almost exact or marginally under. There is no mention of any changes in 1.14.4 around this area, but 3 encodes out of 3 are larger than 1.14.3 using exact same settings (fixed size of x, 2-pass, same profile etc). The only difference would be the version of x264 (I was previously using x264 0.72.1240 35627b6 with 1.14.3) and 1.14.4 now uses x264 0.75.1251M e553a4c.
Would that explain it, or is there anything else people can think of ? (of course I will re-test with the same release of x264, I'm just asking in case there is a generic issue in 1.14.4).

Hmm, I'm still stuck in sussing out how to handle this source :confused: I went ahead with the full encode, leaving the framerate at 29.97 and only cropping and resizing to 720p (at the correct AR). As per my short clip testing, the A/V is out of sync in the resulting .mkv, so I remuxed with MKV Merge and set the framerate to 23.976. But this just lengthened the running time by x1.25 (obviously 23.976x1.25=29.97).

Anyway, I went back to my source and demuxed the video from the .ts. TSMuxer tells me it's 29.97 with pulldown, so I set TSMuxer to remove the pulldown which then leaves me with a raw .mpv that Media Info states is 23.976fps. However, when I load this into Ripbot (after renaming to a .m2v) the running time is recognised as 1.25x longer than it really is. So, is there anything else I can try? Do I need to do some groundwork with DGIndex on my source and load into Ripbot via. an AVS script?

Hopefully somebody can make sense of what I'm trying to say and cheers in advance for any help.

[wakebrder]

No, it doesn't work that way. TrueHD is always uncompressed to WAV. There is no way to extract the core AC3 without another app. Which version are you running?

Well, it works that way for me.

Using .3. I had some issues with .4.

[dragonkeeper]

I to was having the x264 crash with the following error msg:Assertion failed: dpb_output_delay < pow( 2, sps->vui.nal_hrd_parameters.i_dpb_output_delay_length but using the patched x264 exe that Atak linked to appears to have corrected this problem. Will know in 9 hr or so :). Thx for all your hard work Atak.
On another note i recently upgraded my Media PC to a Phenom 9950 (2.6GHz BE Quad Core), 4 GB of 1066Ghz ram, ATI 4350 HD video card, and two 1TB Hard drives, OS Windows XP SP3 on a separate 40 GB drive. I'm getting about 4 fps while encoding first pass :( Is this the norm?
2. From what i have read in the forums upgrading to the 64bit version of XP will net me about a 10% performance gain. Does the same hold true for Windows 7?
3. How big of a gain can i expect if i over clock my system to 3GHz?

[kikker]

Well, it works that way for me.

Using .3. I had some issues with .4.

Sorry, but it doesn't work that way. When you load the M2TS, and you select the TrueHD audio stream, you do NOT have the option of 'copy stream' for an MKV, as that would require Ripbot to extract the core AC3 from the TrueHD stream. Instead, Ripbot decompresses the TrueHD to PCM (*.WAV) in the temp folder.

UNLESS, I'm missing something strange here, where perhaps my machine possesses a special TrueHD decoder for which you do not have on your system. That could explain what you think to be an AC3 extraction from the original stream.

Can any confirm what I'm talking about here?

[dragonkeeper]

After spending most of the day reading the forums and searching the web, I am unable to find a resolution for my problem. Ripbot is running extremely slow. My system specs are as follows:

WinXP Sp3 (fresh install)
4gb of 1066 ram
ATI 4350 HD video card
2- 1TB hard drives (recently formatted\installed for this PC build)

HD content has been ripped to my hard drive. I am currently trying to convert Heroes 1080P HD DVD(VC-1 title) to mkv. Only converting one episode while i try to figure out best settings to use. Episodes are just under an hour in length. I demuxed the evo file using eac3to, and converted the AC3+ audio to AC3 audio using eac3to.
Encoding settings are as follow:

Profile=HD BluRay Consoles(no changes)
Mode=2-Pass
Lock Size=2000(I figure 2 gig is good enough for an hour of video @ this setting KPBS average 4800)
The issue is that the encode is taking what seems to be an abnormally long time. First pass ran at about 4fps and took almost 5 hours. Second pass is running at around 2fps with an eta of 8 hours. Form what I've seen in benchmarks and read in the forums i should be seeing much better performance than this. Any one have any thoughts as to where my problem my lies. By the way this is on my media PC and there are no other apps running(with the exception of VNC, I control the Media Center with a tablet PC) I also have terminated all unnecessary processes.
I am running RipBot264 v1.14.4, any thoughts on what could be causing my issue?

[RainyDog]

Thanks Atak but I managed to sort it. I used TS Muxer to remove the pulldown but instead of demuxing, remuxed into a new .ts which loaded into Ripbot with the correct framerate and running length. The only thing left is the audio as I'm trying to pair the DTS track from my DVD which is a few seconds shorter than the video and so gradually drifts out of sync. But I'll try using MKV Merge's stretch function and see if that does the trick...

[wakebrder]

I'm making AVC-HD not MKV, could that be the difference?

TSMuxer has no problem extracting the core from HD audio and Ripbot264 uses TSMuxer so, what else would "Copy Stream" mean?

Could you comment on this Atak?

[PSPNut]

2. From what i have read in the forums upgrading to the 64bit version of XP will net me about a 10% performance gain. Does the same hold true for Windows 7?
3. How big of a gain can i expect if i over clock my system to 3GHz?

2. Yes, around 10% or less.

3. In my experience, x264 scales rather linearly with clock speed (I am using an overclocked i7 920), so you should see at least 10% gain moving from 2.66 -> 3 GHz

Yes, it would be easy to extract the core, but this does not happen. Any TrueHD audio track you select will be demuxed to *.WAV, which is PCM, or uncompressed audio (think HUGE file size). Check it out for yourself in the temp folder. It is a *.WAV file and very big. You wouldn't want to 'copy stream' this *.WAV into a MKV, as that wouldn't make much sense. You *can* 'copy stream' it into an AVCHD, or Blu-Ray format, but it is larger than the original TrueHD, which also doesn't make much sense to do. That is why you have the 'copy stream' option for the AVCHD output. Just because you see 'copy stream' as an option does not mean it's extracting the core AC3 from the TrueHD source. But, as I said before, giving the user the option to extract the core AC3 would be a very easy thing to implement by Atak. Lastly, eac3to is extracting the streams in Ripbot, not Tsmuxer.

You are correct. I have no idea what version this was changed in.:confused:

This does not make any sense to me why Ripbot would extract the core of DTS-MA, but not True-HD. Strange....

BTW, I sent you a PM.

Using Windows Vista. Got an error with the latest version 1.14.4, 0% audio enconding error%. Settings Aftern 5.1 on a DTS Master audio track (The Thing) I tried reinstalling ffdshow... nothing, same error. Went back to 1.14.3 and it works beautifully.

you posted system specs, but not the processor you are running which is what x264 uses to transcode.

you will get crap speed like that doing 1080p transcoding with an older cpu.

i tried a 1080p transcode from bluray->avchd on a core 2 duo laptop and i got crap speeds like that (2-4fps 2nd pass).

you need a core 2 quad at minimum and a core i7 setup if you can afford it.

my core i7 based xeon @ 4ghz ranges from 14-20 fps 2nd pass default settings when doing bluray->avchd @ 1080p to fit a dvd-dl disc. if i do a blu-ray to bd-r it is even slower (10-15fps).

i bet you are using an older dual core processor.

you gotta pay to play :)

fyi; you might have been looking at 720p benchmarks, which will be at least twice as fast as 1080p benchmarks. using that graysky 720p x264 benchmarks i get 100+fps first pass and ~40fps second pass.

i agree when selecting to output to bd-r backup size (23830) then "stream copy" should become an available option so ripbot will just demux unaltered hd audio (true-hd, dts-ma hd, lpcm). lpcm might have to be converted to w64 wav if tsmuxer will not mux the unaltered lpcm from a bluray. the only blu-rays i have run into that came with a lpcm track were the harry potter movies and nin halo 22.

Thanks for the feed back.
I'm running a (Quad core) 9950BE at the stock 2.6GHz, will be overclocking to 3.0GHz when new cooler and video card arrive.

[TotalHavoc]

Is there anyway to prevent the down conversion of DTS-MA 24bit to Flac 16bit? Can I just go into the Blu-Ray_ExtractStreams.cmd and delete -down16, then rerun that cmd file? If I do that what do I do next?

What i can recommand you, install windows vista home premium 32-bit with sp1 preinstalled, and make all updates. for the machine you describe, it's an great os and much more stable!

i just change my processor dual core for an quad cores without reformating windows after make the processor upgrades and 1pass was pretty fast for 1080p (3h30 for 1-pass) more than 13fps

see my snapshot tryout

I loath the Vista OS like I've loathed no other, I hardly ever use my laptop because of it (would have switched to a Linux flavor or even XP if i could have found drivers for nic card.) At least MS admits they dropped the ball on that one. Will be getting Window 7 Ultimate x64 as soon as it's released in states.

(3h30 for 1-pass) more than 13fps
Very nice, I was guesstimating that i would be somewhere in the ballpark of 7 - 11 fps, 2fps is totally unacceptable considering that this hardware was purchased to make encoding my Blu-Ray and HD DVD collection possible. At this rate i could switch back to my Athlon X2 @ 2.8GHz and get a 30% speed increase.

I see that you were running Ripbot264 version 1.11.5.

Have you done an encode with the latest version? (It may be me but it seems that some of the applications that RipBot uses are hit or miss with some processors cough, cough, AMD.)
If so did you see any changes in your FPS?

I'm just curious to now if the version change is having an impact. I believe I was running 1.13.1 on my dual core, I'm no exactly sure as it's been about 6-8 months ago.

At the moment i'm preparing to run stress test (memtest86+, Sp2004, prime95) on the system to see if they reveal anything. I built this system about 5 moths ago and it's just been sitting collecting dust I don't remember running stress test at that time which is something i always do with new builds.

BTW: If any one is looking toi build a new HTPC from scratch look at the ASRock boards with Instant Boot. My system boots in under 10 seconds, it's pretty sweet. :)

O.k total weirdness today. I have not made any modifications to my system and today for some strange reason I'm getting 13 - 15 fps on first pass, and 8.1 - 8.7 FPS on second pass. This is about 3 times faster that i posted previously. Has any one else seen behavior like this?

Yes, it was caused by my CPU overheating (fan fell off) and it underclocked itself.

Maybe yours was overheating previously?

[dragonkeeper]

THX PSPNut, i believe that you are correct. My idle tmps are hovering around 45 degrees. During my last encode i noticed tmps reaching as high as 65 degrees. Hopefully my new cooler will be in today.

THX PSPNut, i believe that you are correct. My idle tmps are hovering around 45 degrees. During my last encode i noticed tmps reaching as high as 65 degrees. Hopefully my new cooler will be in today.

those temps are normal for an intel quad core on air.

with the best aircooling an overclocked core i7 will go over 80 degrees celcius when overclocked at 100% load.

i need to use watercooling to keep my i7 920 @ 4.0 ghz at ~65C when under full load on all cores.

13/15 first pass and 7/8 second pass would be right about what i would expect @ 1080p. that's about what my old q6600 @ 3.0 ghz would spit out.

[7ekno]

Nice program, hadn't used it before :)

Just a couple of quick questions (too speed workflow a little):

1) Is there a way of turning off the "Grabbing Frame" feature (using AVS scripts, so don't need to edit anything in the frameview - it slows down queing quite a bit with 0.15FPS filter chains!!!)?

2) Is there a way of setting an Audio format as default (and Normalisation values, etc)?

I realise both of these may be an .INI feature, but I was unable to find the corrent syntax :)

Seriously i was using the version 1.11.5 because all other release can't syncronized audio delay perfectly. I was using all latest version of ffdshow, clsid revision, latest avisynth and latest ripbot, and still having trouble. With that version i was able to get conversion done with making a lot of test.

Atak recommand me to change my amd dual core 6400+ 3.20 ghz processor for an quad. i finally reinstall windows and all directx latest revision, make all fresh install and get same trouble.

I really dont find the trouble why audio sync can't syncronized.

It's why i turn back in my log movie conversions to see what version was stable in the past, and make it done with the latest ffdshow and sometimes i get trouble but need to play a lot with delay audio. the trouble i get, i can't find the audio delay from the original mkv and tranfert into ripbot. if i took an original blu-ray, all is ok.

Edit : I replaced x264_x86.exe file with an x264.nl build (after renaming off course) , RipBot 264 refused to encode with it ? Can someone shed some light ?

[kikker]

Remove the --nal-hrd from your profile. This option is not valid at least for 1259, the current recommended version. You can also find what went wrong in the Ripbot logs. BTW, 1-pass encodes go WAY down in bitrate with this build, and you need to lower the rate factor substantially in order to achieve a comparable quality encode.

[gohamstergo]

It seems my jobs queue disappeared because ripbot decided to change the hard drive it uses for temp files. Can there please be an option to select the temp file hard drive? This is the first problem ive encountered with ripbot directly, other than that its been working great. thanks!

[Dark Shikari]

BTW, 1-pass encodes go WAY down in bitrate with this buildNo it doesn't. It goes "way up" sometimes and "way down" sometimes. If it always went "way down", I would have adjusted CRF accordingly.and you need to lower the rate factor substantially in order to achieve a comparable quality encode.No you don't.

[kikker]

Interesting. I'll have to perform more encodes, but I've experienced relatively large drops in overall file size of encodes since dropping in 1259 in Ripbot with a relative drop in quality at the same crf. The only thing I've had to change was removing the --nal-hrd switch of the default Blu-Ray profile to make it work with the latest Ripbot.

EDIT: I'm now wondering if not cropping has anything to with it, as the encoder sees large areas of black. I'll have to test it with a cropped source.

[Dark Shikari]

Interesting. I'll have to perform more encodes, but I've experienced relatively large drops in overall file size of encodes since dropping in 1259 in Ripbot with a relative drop in quality at the same crf.If you're referring to the change due to MB-tree (which is already a month+ old now), the Handbrake guys did a lot of tests on DVD sources and in most cases quality dropped marginally (<10%) and bitrate dropped a lot (15-35%).

If you're talking about something other than MB-tree, I have no idea what you're talking about :p

On your HTPC, you're still using PowerDVD or Home Media Player correct? I would try playing the disc on a PS3 or stand alone Blu-ray player.

Thanks for the hint. But I tried it on the weekend with my HTPC and the same problem there.

Any other advice?

You're right hoju3508. But I don't want to buy a PS3 when I built a HTPC specially for playing HD-/BR-DVD's. I also own a DMX1000 (popcorn hour MediaPlayer), same problem here.
By the way I don't have problems playing any other mkv except the ones I made myself using ripbot264 and a HD-DVD-rip.

Sorry , I didn't realize that you answered my quesion :)

My profile doesn't have that switch . So , it is not the case ... Maybe RipBot uses some "special" builds ?

Hey, ive been using ripbot for long time now but this time, i get this error. Can someone tell me whats rong? ty

[gohamstergo]

@Preludee01

are you launching directly from the exe or using a shortcut? if using a shortcut right click > properties and make sure "start in:" is set to the ripbot main directory. this happened to me then i discovered my "start in" field wasn't correct. a strange error for sure...

or

its possible ripbot is checking for your temp files on the wrong harddrive. if you know the drive they are currently on, go into ripbot264.ini (main directory i believe) and set the temp drive to the correct one. only type C, D, etc. not C: or C:\

also, not sure if youre a privacy addict or not, but not sure if you want to be displaying what seems to be your full name.

[Preludee01]

Hey. I dont use a shorcut, i just run it direct fomr the RipBot264. Ive changed the settings on it -from AUTO to C. Its doing the same ting. Ive try to reinstal all the programmes for it, does work this time.. :(

First: sorry for that, i just wanted to say ty to remind me to remove name's when added picture. So i modified my picture.

Second: I tried to put "C" for default, and it does the same thing :( Any thing els you know to do that can work?

Third: My english is bad lol

[hoju3508]

Understood. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with HD-DVDs. All of my re-encodes have been mkvs or Blu-rays.

Just wondering if there is something changed since 1.14.4? Previously I encode my videos using CQ=18, my mkv usually are around 15-25GB range. However, with the current version, the files come out < 10GB all the time. Wondering is because the compression has improved or the CQ=18 is not being enforced?

[kikker]

This is what I experience too with x264 build 1259 coming from 1251 packaged with the latest Ripbot. I think you'll find there is also a drop in quality as well with identical settings between the builds, although perhaps not to the extent to which the drop in bitrate might suggest. The way I understand it is that the new build has a feature called mbtree and allows for greater swings in the quantizer. So, in complex, fast moving scenery, the quant rises more than it did previously resulting in lower bitrate applied to the frame. In general, I'm finding that an encode @ CRF22 is equivalent in size of encode @ CRF19. However, once you achieve a similar encode file size, there is a definite quality gain in static scenes at least with the newer build.

BTW, what is the point of using CQ over CRF?

[mmmmdonut]

Has anyone gotten "The Hunt for Red October" to work correctly? There are two subtitle tracks. One is all of the spoken dialogue in the movie (both English and Russian), and the other is all the hearing impaired subtitles.

Have ripbot extract all the subs, go in to the tools\bdsup2sub folder and run the jar file there. Open the english sup file, and when you export click the check box for forced subs only. Then go back in to ripbot and add the sub file you created.

[prg4533]

What's wrong? I've used BD Rebuilder successfully many times, but wanted to give Ripbot264 a try. I rip the Blu-ray disk using AnyDVD HD to the HD. In Ripbot264, I selected the first *.m2ts stream, and the movie is correctly found. AVCHD is selected, 2-pass Mode, Blu-ray profile, Lock Size set to 8150 MB for burning to a DVD9. The bitrate shown in KBPS looks appropriate at 9793. The resulting AVCHD files are only 1.5 GB, highly pixelated, and definitely not 1080p. Trying again, I explicitly set video Properties to 1080p. I have tried this several times with the same result. Your help is appreciated!

Blackwalker you need to install the x86 also not just the x64 version. RipBot264 is a 32bit application.

Yea, i know its a 32bit application, what i didnt know is that

thx a lot for your help!
i'll try!

[colinhunt]

Got a spot of bother today running RipBot264 v1.14.4 and ffdshow rev3078. Some encodes (not all, however) would not finish because x264.exe kept on crashing. Same thing happened with RipBot v1.14.3 and ffdshow rev3058.

At first I thought it was caused by a combination of Windows 7 64-bit and overclocking, so I entered BIOS and loaded setup defaults, i.e. no more overclocking. First test encode went through fine with RipBot v1.14.4 and ffdshow rev3078. During the 2nd encode x264 crashed.

As a test, I ran a month-old installation of MeGUI, did a bunch of encodes with it and had zero problems. It's using version "core:68 r1183M f21daff" of x264.exe.

There are two x264 executables in RipBot's tools directory: x264_x86.exe and x264_x64.exe. Would that have something to do with the x264 crashing?

[hoju3508]

:logfile:

If your source is 1920x1080, you don't have to set anything in the Video Properties.

Are you sure you selected the correct m2ts file? Everything that you described sounds correct.

Thanks I'll try that. I used Subrip but the font sucks. I'll try bdsup2sub.

[colinhunt]

@colinhunt and @prg4533
Have you read first post?

Are you referring to common problem #2, i.e. CPU and memory stability? Neither is an issue in my case. As I wrote, I don't get x264 crashes with MeGUI. Even the same source files that crash x264.exe when using RipBot are encoded with MeGUI without problems. The major difference being that MeGUI uses an older 32-bit version of x264.exe than RipBot.

I'll see what happens if I delete/move x264_x64.exe out of RipBot's tools, and replace its x264_x86.exe with the x264.exe from MeGUI's tools.

update: Well, that didn't work, at all.

[CyberTron88]

If I want to maintain a quality as close as to the original, what setting should I use now? Previously I was using CQ=18, what should I be using? CQ=16?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Cq=18

[illestdomer2005]

Question:

Which ffdshow build are you using, and do you allow ffmpeg-mt or libavcodec decode h264 for you? I had been using ffmpeg-mt, but I was curious if anyone had better or worse results using one over the other. Thanks!

[Preludee01]

Hey. I got a bunch of mkv files. Ive got some 1080p (8-12gig) and some 720p (4-7gig). Ive started doing them to 6144MB lock size (2 pass mode) and rezize the video to 720p.

Some video's are already 720p and 5gig, if i put them to 6gig, would it increase the quality or not? When i do, the KBPS goes up. All my movies are in the 7000-8000 when im done with them. And also i put the audio all to 640kbps. "reencode"

Am i doing the right thing? Or should it all be diferent size? My movies are all going to a 1.5TB HDD. But i would want them to be all same size. For now i see good on movies. "Just a check that im doing before i go to far". tks :)

EDIT never mind so far works :D

Hi
In advance sorry for this long post.
:confused:
I was trying to use RipBot264 v1.14.4 for converting some of the mkv or mpeg files to AVCHD format to be played on my PS3
However first issue I encountered was that it complains that:
Source video has incorrect frame size!
AVCHD supports only: 1920x1080, 1280x720, 720x576 or 720x480

So when I tried to change conversion to mkv or to mpeg it stops working after few minutes.

Here are few logs:

Hey. I got a bunch of mkv files. Ive got some 1080p (8-12gig) and some 720p (4-7gig). Ive started doing them to 6144MB lock size (2 pass mode) and rezize the video to 720p.

Some video's are already 720p and 5gig, if i put them to 6gig, would it increase the quality or not? When i do, the KBPS goes up. All my movies are in the 7000-8000 when im done with them. And also i put the audio all to 640kbps. "reencode"

Am i doing the right thing? Or should it all be diferent size? My movies are all going to a 1.5TB HDD. But i would want them to be all same size. For now i see good on movies. "Just a check that im doing before i go to far". tks :)

Just remember the old adage: "You're only as strong as your weakest link."

Will your videos magically increase in quality if you re-encode them to a larger size (i.e., increase the bitrate)? No. In fact, they will probably look worse because you're making a copy of a copy. Your file is already less pristine than the original BD version, and now you're asking x264 to go through your already compressed version and do the same process all over again.

Also, why the unconventional file size? I convert all my BDs to 4480 or 8150 to correspond to DVD-5 and DVD-9 sizes, respectively. Basically, if the video bitrate is close to 5000kb/s, I choose 720p instead of 1080p, and then it's a value judgment deciding whether or not to go with DVD-9 sizes. This is strictly for AVCHD files that I intend to burn as such to play on my PS3 or other standalone BD players.

Why is it important for you to have all of your MKV files the same size? Honestly, if you're not needing to hit a target size, I would just select Constant Quality and let it rip!

[illestdomer2005]

sreckop,

I haven't gone through all of your code errors, but I know that if you're trying to convert to an AVCHD (m2ts) for your PS3, you need to choose either "do not resize" OR "HD Ready" which are 1080p and 720p, respectively.

DO NOT CROP!

That's probably what's giving you your initial error. Unlike MKVs, you can't crop out the black bars on AVCHD encodes.

Hope that helps.

[stryker412]

I've also notice a drop in picture quality with CQ in ripbot with last few x264 builds

I do all my encodes with 2pass, what does CQ do for you?

[Balthazar2k4]

I know RipBot supports FLAC into MKV. I am now trying to convert an MKV containing FLAC back into an MP4 for my Zune HD and RipBot is telling me that it does not support the FLAC format. Does RipBot only work FLAC one way? If so, how do I do the conversion to AVC with AAC audio?

Thanks in advance.

[illestdomer2005]

Got a spot of bother today running RipBot264 v1.14.4 and ffdshow rev3078. Some encodes (not all, however) would not finish because x264.exe kept on crashing. Same thing happened with RipBot v1.14.3 and ffdshow rev3058.

At first I thought it was caused by a combination of Windows 7 64-bit and overclocking, so I entered BIOS and loaded setup defaults, i.e. no more overclocking. First test encode went through fine with RipBot v1.14.4 and ffdshow rev3078. During the 2nd encode x264 crashed.

As a test, I ran a month-old installation of MeGUI, did a bunch of encodes with it and had zero problems. It's using version "core:68 r1183M f21daff" of x264.exe.

There are two x264 executables in RipBot's tools directory: x264_x86.exe and x264_x64.exe. Would that have something to do with the x264 crashing?

I had been using v1.14.2 for a long while and just tried 1.14.4 last night. I just installed the newest version of CLSID's ffdshow build rev3092 as well. I set up a rip of Army of Darkness on BD, and it got about 8 minutes into the first pass when I got a C++ Visual Basic error. When I close or click retry, Windows immediately tells me that x264 has crashed.

BTW, I am in Vista x86, and I have had no such issues with 1.14.2. Since I was only hoping for a faster, better x264, I think I might go back to the older RipBot version if the same problem doesn't occur.

Is there a way to convert all video files in a folder with the same settings, without having to add every file manually to the queue?

I've tried several PSP converters, and would prefer Ripbot if this was possible.

No, but it wouldn't be too hard to add :)

Logistically it could work like:
- From the "Source" field, you allow multiple files to be selected (at the moment only a single file can be selected)
- Loop thru each file selected and once the file has been processed for info, open a new "Encoder Settings" window
- So effectively 10 files selected, 10 windows open ready for input
- Have some mechanism for switching off "Extracting Frame", it wouldn't be needed (or at least have it as a preference)
- Once the "Done" button is hit, assign a job number to that window (so job number will be the order of "done" clicks)

That way at least, it wouldn't involve too much code change, and it gets rid of the most annoying part of batching (individually waiting for file info and Frame Extraction) ...

By the way, does anybody know if there are INI preferences for switching off "Extracting Frame" and for default "Audio Profile"?!?

how can I "tell" ripbot264 to add 2 audio-streams to the encoded MKV-file?

You can't, ripbot only adds one audio stream

Hi,

I'm testing Ripbot to backup my DVD collection to MKV. What settings must I use to get the best quality ? I have tried no crop and no resize but the results are boxed instead of 16:9. I want to play the files on a Popcorn Hour.

[BlindBandit]

Hey Atak Snajpera, i got to say that Ripbot264 is one of the best software encoding for H264. i try more then 10 software & up & none of them give me the best IQ & speed with no sy nc issues.

i wondering this for a while but you going to add something great in Ripbot264 in the near future like i don't know CUDA support :p

[Preludee01]

whats the best setting for kbps in a 720p mkv video file? around 4000, 6000? And is 640kbps audio is like 1.5 DTS? tks

[Atak_Snajpera]

whats the best setting for kbps in a 720p mkv video file? around 4000, 6000?
CQ @ 22

And is 640kbps audio is like 1.5 DTS? tks
if source is uncompressed then AC3 640kbps = DTS 1.5mbps

[Preludee01]

Would the 2pass be better? like to set the KBPS (not the lock size).

How much is QC-22? If i do all my movies to QC-22, would it be all the same quality? tks

PS: Your programme rock :D

[Atak_Snajpera]

How much is QC-22?
between 4Mbps - 6Mbps for 1280x720. If movies has more dynamic scenes then bitrate will be higher. if movie is static then bitrate will be lower. As you can see bitrate is automatically adjusted according to content. I always recommend Constant Quality because it is faster (1-pass). 2-pass is ONLY useful if you want to get exact size. for example 700 MB , 4480 MB and so on.

[stryker412]

I generally keep my encodes ~5Mbps (usually 4-6GB size depending on length), do you recommend CQ20 then? I have always been using 2-pass but would like to try CQ if it's a faster encode.

[Balthazar2k4]

Thanks in advance.

Is there an easy way of converting an MKV with 5.1 FLAC to an MP4 with 2 channel AAC? I have been searching high and low, but I guess I didn't realize how difficult it would be to convert multi-channel FLAC.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is ripbot good for what im doing? tks No idea on that but definitely Doom9 forum is not a good place for you to ask given what you are doing

Hi, I'm using Ripbot264 for three months now... to transcode BD to MKV... and I have to say : Great ! Thanks a lot for that software. When I watch my computer transcoding at full speed, with such a simple to use interface, I almost cry ! Thanks Atak.

Of course if I come here today, that's to ask some questions :

- Have you thought about adding a second language module to allow user to create a "multi" language mkv file ? That could be great because sometimes your child like to watch films in his own language but your wife like more the original one with subs...

- I always see 4 ref frames encoded files when I look at other's ripped files description and ripbot264 basic setting is only 3. I saw on your first page the difference between 4.0 and 4.1 profile but nothing about ref frames. Why did you choose 3 ref frames ?

- I always see 2 pass encoded files when I look at other's ripped files description and I red your explanation about the fact that 2 pass encoding is usefull when you want a precise size for your file (for example, to create a DVD, I presume). So, it's curious because most of movie files that I find on internet are greater than 10 GB (too big for a DVD) and, at the same time, 2pass encoded... Have you an explanation ?

-What Is the use of the option : "AnyDVD DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-Ray decryptor will be automatically activated with RipBot264" ? Because I own AnyDVD and uselly I first use it to rip my BDs before to use RipBot.

Another thing : I updated recently Ripbot from v1.14.3 to v1.14.4 and the soft was'nt able to finish BD to Mkv encoding anymore. After a few minutes of encoding, it told me he had finished sucessfully but all I got was a 500-600 MB file instead of a 10 GB file. Solution ? To replace file called x264_x86.exe in RipBot Tools\x264 folder by the former one.

Thanks.

No.

Compromise between speed and quality. You could also ask why I chose Subme 7 , UMH , Trellis=1 , B-Adapt 1 instead of slower options. Answer will be always the same :)

- I always see 2 pass encoded files when I look at other's ripped files description and I red your explanation about the fact that 2 pass encoding is usefull when you want a precise size for your file (for example, to create a DVD, I presume). So, it's curious because most of movie files that I find on internet are greater than 10 GB (too big for a DVD) and, at the same time, 2pass encoded... Have you an explanation ?

Because some people are still living in XviD era. 2-pass should be only used if you want exact size. Default CRF@22 is a good compromise between quality and size. Remember lower value means larger size/better quality.

-What Is the use of the option : "AnyDVD DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-Ray decryptor will be automatically activated with RipBot264" ? Because I own AnyDVD and uselly I first use it to rip my BDs before to use RipBot.


Ripbot264 will automatically run AnyDVD. You can convert movies directly from Blu-ray if AnyDVD is running in background.

Another thing : I updated recently Ripbot from v1.14.3 to v1.14.4 and the soft was'nt able to finish BD to Mkv encoding anymore.

Can you help me resolve this?

[Preludee01]

Hey. How we use this software in 64bit? Ive heard we need to change someting but not sure. I know that 64bit will be 10% faster, would it decrease the video quality if it goes faster? And if encoding 720p videos, is locking 5000kbps on all videos good? I dont really care about the time it takes. CQ make it 1pass but all KPBS are diferent. (I ask this question before, but did not quite understand.) Hope you can help. tks alot :)

PS: Whats the difference between MKV and AVCHD container?

MB-tree is on by default. AutoVaQ is not better than original VAQ. Waste of time. BTW. Command line is exposed so you can add whatever you want.

Hey. How we use this software in 64bit? Ive heard we need to change someting but not sure. I know that 64bit will be 10% faster, would it decrease the video quality if it goes faster? And if encoding 720p videos, is locking 5000kbps on all videos good? I dont really care about the time it takes. CQ make it 1pass but all KPBS are diferent. (I ask this question before, but did not quite understand.) Hope you can help. tks alot :)

PS: Whats the difference between MKV and AVCHD container?

One is the bluray structure to burn onto a bd disk the other is an MKV file.

Hi all,

Since i installed the last ripbot version (1.14.4), I have been having ripbot error out after demuxing then a protracted wait while ripbot is "gathering informations," MPC loads up, another wait and then this error written in red on the MPC screen: "DirectShowSource : Timeout waiting for graph to start". I'm under Windows 7 x64 RC1

I desinstalled Avisynth, ffdshow and Haali / reboot the pc / reinstalled the softwares and i still get this error. Any ideas ?

thanks in advance.

This issue is making me crazy :(

[Hobbit112]

Hi All,

Recently upgraded some hardware in my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Ripbot264 and now getting this error message:

http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s102/hobbit112/snapshot20091011200435bmp.jpg

It's a VC-1 encoded EVO file. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled Haali, FFDshow and AviSynth.

I'm running 32bit XP.

Any suggestions?

[Audiophile1178]

Atak_Snajpera, I have some questions for your ripbot program. I've been using it for some time now and haven't had a problem.

Question 1: Why does x264 add a frame to the video encodes? Every blu-ray encode ends up with 1 extra frame from the source.

Question 2: Is this extra frame at the beginning or end? I would imagine the end.

Question 3: Is there a way to just cut this extra frame out or for it to not be there at all and have the same amount of frames as the source?

Question 4: What program do you use to give the exact time of the audio and video file?



Thanks making this great program for all of us to use!

[Rumbah]

This issue is making me crazy :(
As you are using Windows 7, try using a tool to change the default DirectShow behaviour. You could use http://www.codecguide.com/windows7_preferred_filter_tweaker.htm . Switch the desired decoder to ffdshow. If you want to use the Microsoft vc1 decoder, you have to select ffdshow in the program and then set the decoder in ffdshow to wmv9.
You have to set it only for 32 bit (and need a 32 bit ffdshow) as avisynth uses 32 bit.

[jslegers]

Yes. I've got one.
1) Decrypt DVD using DVDFab decryptor
2) select .vob in Ripbot264
Do you have to change the crop settings or leave them as they are ?

[awake33]

This issue is making me crazy :(

It's making me crazy too! I'm using Vista x64. I've encoded over 100 blu-rays using ripbot without any problems. Suddenly it hangs at "Please Wait. . .Gathering Information."

I've not installed any new/different codecs.

Download and install WMV11 from Microsoft, and set VC-1 decoding to "disabled" in FFDSHOW (allowing the WMV11 codec to be used). This seems to be the codec with the fewest problem on VC-1.

Here's a question for you gurus. I want to rip my copies of Snow White and Pinocchio so when my niece is over she can watch them.

How can I rip them with the artwork in the side bars? I thought maybe it would be a different angle or something but I can't find it.

I loaded the largest m2ts in ripbot but it was just the movie with the black bars.

EDIT: And I also wish there's a way to save our custom resolutions, and the tweak settings we using often. It's need to be done every time you try to encode a video. It's getting annoying when you have like over 12 1-3mins short clips to convert Lol. Or is already there? If yes, how to do it? And why is the audio only CT and no ND?

You always have problems. First weird a/v sync issues. Now avs2avi.exe crashes. You have a mess in OS. Period. Install fresh Windows 7 x64 and be happy. This is my advice for today.

In terms of quality both are the same. Also ND can not be distributed from other site different than nero's.

What settings, or changes to the script, could I use to add a little more sharpness to DVD conversions to MKV? Newer, high-quality DVD's come out very well at 720P with about 2048 bitrate. However, I have a lot of older DVD's (foreign movies) that will never be available on Blu-Ray, and I'd like to get the best results possible with these.

For instance, in the line...

#Resize
video=Spline36Resize(video,1280,534).Sharpen(0.2)

What does the "Sharpen()" parameter represent? ...what change would result in more sharpness?

For watching my DVD's, I use Zoomplayer with ffdshow & avisynth's LimitedSharpenFaster script and get great results. Is there any way to use that filter in Ripbot264?

Thanks for any tips.

Hi! This qn is not directly related to ripot, but hopefully someone can help.

2. I loaded an avi clip.
3. I select the for video profile and audio profile.
4. I select type of pass.
5. I set resolution.
6. I start encode.

Minor AVCHD issue:

I rip everything to AVCHD, because I actually just want the .m2ts file to stream to my PS3. If you could make just a .m2ts option, I would love you forever. NOTHING streams .mkv without transcoding, so I'm hoping the "scene" finally realizes that m2ts (the same format that's on a Blu-Ray) is the standard and not unstreamable .mkv.

The problem is that one of the recent versions seems to have broken the title metadata in the AVCHD's m2ts file. All of the titles come out as 000000 when viewed on my PS3 and I have to go in to windows media player and "rename" them to get them to show up correctly. This didn't used to happen before. The correct behavior would be to set the title metadata to be whatever the filename is.

Thank you for your time!

"PS3 Media Server" (the java based client) streams mkv without transcoding, it does repackage it on-the-fly so to speak, but the audio/video data is not re-encoded in any way.

I'm curious, what OS are you using? I've never been able to stream native m2ts files, only after renaming them to mp4 will they stream (having done the registry hack of course).

Dear Atak,

Apologies if this has already been addressed elsewhere. If it has then please could you give me a link to the information.

I used to use RipBot264 quite happily until a few days ago. I think it's a wonderful piece of software. Much better than Handbrake or StaxRip as far as I'm concerned. However after I downloaded the newest version I keep getting this error message whenever I try to load a video file:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v407/valpy/ripbot.gif

As you suggest in "Common problems" I have tried uninstalling all codec packs and then reinstalling AviSynth , Haali Media Spliter , and ffdshow. I even reinstalled WMP 11 but I keep getting this recurring problem.

I have tried using previous versions of RipBot264 which used to work but I still keep getting the same problem.

As it used to work for me and now no longer does, I suspect it is because of something I must have done.

I don't know if it is relevant but when I load a video file the RipBot interface says "[NO AUDIO]" in the audio drop down menu shortly before the error message displays:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v407/valpy/ripbot2.gif

On some BDs, especially "Knowing", the audio won't fit to the video. I've tried to get a backup of that BD but the audio-source to short in proportion to the video-source. this movie is parted in 3 m2ts-files. maybe that's the reason why. is there any feature in RipBot264 where i can select an option to keep these parted files on my avchd and demux and recode them as 3 separat files?

I hope you know what I mean and sorry for my bad english!

#Resize

What does the "Sharpen()" parameter represent? ...what change would result in more sharpness?


These are avisynth internal filters. For sharpen, check out:

http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/Sharpen

If you are converting DVDs, it is best to not resize at all. Any resize will lower quality. Spline36 is best if you have to resizing up, Bilinear is fastest (and arguably the best) if you are scaling down.

If you would just like to sharpen, then do (I think):
video=Sharpen(video,0.2)

1. No. Use the x64 version of x264 if your on a x64 operating system as the only difference will be a speed increase. Quality isn't affected.

2. I personally end up with all my 720p rips between 4500kbps and 7000kbps, and 2-pass lock them down to sizes in 1120mb increments starting at 4480mb for approx. 90min films. But there's many factors that can contribute to why I might increase an average bitrate (and, in turn, file size), such as amount of motion, grain etc. in the video. I personally split my source into 1-2 min clips, run quick encoding tests on a few of those then compare to the source until I get as close to transparency as possible. But I realise most people won't be so anal so, yes, 5000kbps is a generally safe bitrate to use for 720p I'd say.

On the other hand, CQ mode is kind of a more streamlined version of the above process and will adjust the bitrate and file size based on the complexity of your input itself. Hence why you're getting different bitrates for different films/videos.

Hope that helps.

[RainyDog]

Atak,

Would you consider adding a few extra x264 options to Ripbot in a future version? It'd be good to have adjustable options for MB Tree on/off, Psy RD and PSY Trellis, merange, aqstrength and even qcomp. I regularly adjust these by altering my scripts manually anyway, but it'd be handier and tidier to have them as tweakable options in the Ripbot GUI itself. Maybe you could then add a customs profiles tag so we could name and save them for easy access depending on input content for different encodes (film, anime etc).

Just a suggestion anyway, and I understand why you wouldn't want to bloat Ripbot with advanced options considering it's intention as an easy and simple GUI.

Cheers.

Hey. Thanks for great answer. Only probleme is when i download the 64bit of x264 (FFDShow 64bit), i cant get ripbot to start up. It say i need the ffdshow of 32bit. Anyway i can change setting so i can run it to 64bit? ty

Sorry Preludee, I forgot to mention that bit. Yes, Ripbot needs the 32bit version of ffdshow installed. It will still use the x64 version of x264 on a 64bit operating system, however. You can have both the 32 and 64bit versions of ffshow installed side by side, so keep the 64bit for media playback and install the 32bit version for Ripbot.

Hi Atak,

Just for updates;

I've make an Ghost of my complete installation partition. I install Windows Vista SP2 x64 and make installation and application still crash.

I Redownload avisynth 2.5.8. stable build (was 2.5.8 beta latest update) and it was the trouble. Two conversion is in progress and same to be good. I will make an Ghost of my installation partition, and restore Windows 7 and uninstall avisynth; and let you know if the application crash again.

Avisynth was downloaded from dvdhelp if my memory is good. I download directly from avisynth.org, stable version (recommanded).

thanks for you time.

EDIT:
After reinstall avisynth, reinstall the new one, try to convert 2 movies, after project demuxed at 100%, the application avs2avi.exe crashed again. I've apply an propertries on the application avs2avi.exe, set compatibility to VISTA SP2, apply, re-import file, i can done the import file, but after close the PREVIEW AVS application crash again. BUT, i got an second error

(Ripbot264 window: " is not a valid integer value)

but i've install Ripbot264 1.14.5 to do the test. i will go back to 1.14.4 to test it and update my editing part with update here:
make the same. I test same movies but in Vista SP2 x64 and everything works fine.

Now, im stuck...


Thanks.

the one installed by ffdshow (32bit), the one installed
by ffdshow (64bit) or what? can you please tell me the version
you are using? thx :)

[8ternity]

sorry, but which versione of "Media Player Classic" are you using?

Samething for me, EVR Custom Press i don't have that option but i test another one. I think he had MediaPlayer Classic HT (Home theather) version.

Make some test, read description when cursor stay on option you have an pop-up description. :rolleyes:

You better explain us where did you get this corrupted mkv?

[MKVCrazy]

So I tried my first 2D cartoon clip with the denoise as you suggested and I like that it's FFT3DGPU instead of FFT3DFilter as I recently install a GPU card on my rig. But I looked into the .avs and it uses sigma=5 and everything else is default (since not defined). Where may I change the FFT3DGPU parameters? I would like to use a sharpen=1.0 and bt=4 with sigma=1.5 for the FILM. I've never try sigma=5 so I'll see how much it denoises in 2D animations first then report back.

Hi Atak,

I've finally restore to Windows Vista SP1 x86. I Did not install the SP2 for vista because when i install it, i've have an x264.exe crash during conversion. I've convert 3 movies (2 this night and one is waiting 1 hours to get done).

Just to let you knwo that everything is fine! Im happy. Im ghosting my partition and let everything has is :devil::rolleyes:

[parsifal]

Hi all,


I am experiencing a problem trying to encode an Avisynth script I wrote the other day. Watching the progress of the encoding via the GUI and the system tray icon, it seems that all 3185 frames of the script get encoded but then RipBot264 gets stuck with displaying the string "Pass1..." indefinitely, not proceeding with multiplexing into the final video file. I also noticed that the Windows Task Manager shows the processes named avs2yuv.exe and pipebuf.exe as still running.


Some additional info: I am using Windows Vista Business SP2 x64 with RipBot264 v1.14.5, same happened with the previous version of RipBot264. With other video files as input and the same encoding settings, there is no problem. The script is perfectly playable in MPC-HC and encoding with MeGUI also completes successfully.


Those of you with a fast internet access and willing to take a look at it, here's a MediaFire link for a ZIP archive with the Avisynth script and the source files: avs_and_sourcefiles.zip (22.85 MB) (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wmy0gzygi2n).


Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

[Atak_Snajpera]

Where may I change the FFT3DGPU parameters?
eeeee directly in script?

@parsifal
change this line in RipBot264.ini
Usex264x64=0

[parsifal]

@parsifal
change this line in RipBot264.ini
Usex264x64=0

That solved it, thank you very much! Shame for the speed penalty, though. Oh well... :-)


edit: Is it a general issue with x64 and AVS input? If so, maybe you could add a routine in the code that checks for the file extension of the input file and overrides the ini setting? So, users wouldn't have to edit the ini file each time Avisynth input is required.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Shame for the speed penalty, though. Oh well... :-)
I wouldn't cry to much for 5% slower speed. I get 2-4% faster speed with x64. I'm really disappointed.

[parsifal]

Are you by any chance running your tests on an Intel CPU? With my dual core AMD K8, for this exact AVS script (1280x720, 25fps encoded@CQ22) , I get a 30sec improvement over the 194sec that the 32bit x264 build achieves (both times measuring only the 1st pass duration, not the initialization stage nor the muxing stage obviously). That's ~15% less time or if you prefer, a 1.18x speedup. Granted, not mind-blowing, but still respectable. :-)

[Ajax_Undone]

To anyone who cares:
The installer will have to wait for this release. I am in the middle of building a web page and have not the time to devote to it...

Just extract and over write the old files in x:\program files\ripbot264\ (on x64 systems x:\program files (x86)\ripbot264\)

[MKVCrazy]

Yes. I want to change the parameters that's entered automatically when I select FILM/ANIME under DENOISE option.

[Preludee01]

Was wondering, whats "Low Priority" for? I alwast use it when encoding. But not 100% sure what its for.

[8ternity]

Was wondering, whats "Low Priority" for? I alwast use it when encoding. But not 100% sure what its for.

It's the priority of use of the program during conversion. If you need to do some thing with your computer like surfing on the net, make paiements, chat, the memory request are in low priority. If you want to use it only for conversion and maximise your fps rate, you set it to "0".

If my knowledge is good

[Preludee01]

alright tks

[MKVCrazy]

Sorry to bother you again, Atak. I have got a few basic questions. I have a clip which has 44.0 kHz and I want to make all my audio output to 48.0 kHz. How can I do this and also how can I make audio profile HE-AAC 2CH 48 kbps? The least I see in the drop down is HE-AAC 2CH 64 kbps.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I have a clip which has 44.0 kHz and I want to make all my audio output to 48.0 kHz.
ripbot264 always automatically resamples audio to 48khz.

The least I see in the drop down is HE-AAC 2CH 64 kbps.
I see no logical explanation why user would need 48 kbps option. Difference in size is too small compared to video size. 60 min -> 48kbps / 8 * 3600 = 21.1 MB vs 64kbps / 8 * 3600 = 28.1 MB

[AMED]

I'm not sure if i'm missing something here, but does RipBot support creating anamorphic encodes like MeGUI?

The output of the few DVD movies i have tested with RipBot don't seem to be stretching on playback.

I'm not sure if it's my steps causing the problem, so i'll list what i'm doing.

1. Open ripped dvd in RipBot clicking on first .VOB
2. Once loaded, I click Properties.
3. Auto Crop, size is set to do not resize.
4. Denoise set to Flim

[tommy9901]

As you are using Windows 7, try using a tool to change the default DirectShow behaviour. You could use http://www.codecguide.com/windows7_preferred_filter_tweaker.htm . Switch the desired decoder to ffdshow. If you want to use the Microsoft vc1 decoder, you have to select ffdshow in the program and then set the decoder in ffdshow to wmv9.
You have to set it only for 32 bit (and need a 32 bit ffdshow) as avisynth uses 32 bit.

i've the same problem in mpeg-1 ,what can i do :helpful:

[MKVCrazy]

ripbot264 always automatically resamples audio to 48khz.
Ok then now this is solved.

I see no logical explanation why user would need 48 kbps option. Difference in size is too small compared to video size. 60 min -> 48kbps / 8 * 3600 = 21.1 MB vs 64kbps / 8 * 3600 = 28.1 MB
Uhm, well that's great then. Do you know if Zune or ZuneHD plays 64kbps HE-AAC audio? By they way do you recommend converting DVD movie backups to PSP format with 64kbps HE-AAC even though the frequency is half? How does half affect the experience?

I still need the answer on how to modify the default FFT3GPU parameters you put in RipBot264.

MKVCrazy

[Atak_Snajpera]

Do not use HE-AAC because mobile players (PSP and so on) do not decode HE part. Instead of 48khz you will get 24Khz.

[MKVCrazy]

Do not use HE-AAC because mobile players (PSP and so on) do not decode HE part. Instead of 48khz you will get 24Khz.

Yes, I noticed that clearly. I'll use 96 LC-AAC then. Sorry if you didn't see my last reply as I edited after you replied.

Is there away to change the default FFT3GPU parameters that's used when selecting any of the DENOISE option? For me, the FILM was is a little too smoothed.

[Rumbah]

I just got an error of Ripbot not finishing an encoding job. With further inspection of the log file I noticed that Ripbot set -fps 23,96 in the x264 command line and it has to be 23.96. I'm using a German Windows and the "," is the normal decimal separator opposed to the English ".". Manually editing the bat file fixes the problem.

Hey. Ive got a problem. When i use ripbot to re-encode 1080p MKV to 720p MKV, it does not complete. (Worked before for a while). After like 3m to 1h, it say completed. And i dont have nothing in the forlder i saved in it. Usally it takes 6-7h, in 2Pass-Mode. Is their someting that can cause that> tks

[Atak_Snajpera]

Hey. My CPU is a 3.33ghz dual (intel). It worked before, but right now it does the job, it happen like 2-4 time that is say complet after 3 min. But right now its working. If i have more trouble, i'll right more detail. tks :)

[csmcdem]

First of all, great app.

But I have a problem. It goes through all the normal stuff, and then it freezes at Muxing. If i try to combine the .264 file and the audio file in the temp directory with tsMuxer, it doesn't work either.

Specs:
Win 7 x64 Pro RTM
9800GTX+

Tried with 3 different files, all going to BD-25, and they all get the same error.

[Ga1j1n]

Would it be possible to enable creation of multiple videos from one source buy inputting start and end timecodes, posssibly from the chapters file.

For example I'd like to backup a series I have on BluRay but eac3to indexes the 4 episodes on a disc to 1 input video and audio track, now I can spit the resultant Mp4 after it's creation with Yamb but it would be much neater and quicker to do at the creation stage.

Great tool BTW, nothing else comes close...

:thanks:

[MKVCrazy]

not yet. you are first who does not like my default settings.

Not that I don't like your default settings, I just wanted to test my preferred settings that I am using all the time and see which one is better between the two. Lol But I am looking forward to a feature that'll let me do just that thuogh :thanks:

What happens if you execute manually job1_MuxFiles.cmd?

[8ternity]

What happens if you execute manually job1_MuxFiles.cmd?

unfortunatly i've erased files because i need to try another one movie to be converted. If other movie make the same, i will test it the command and let you know. Or if you really need to know the result, i can convert it again.

EDIT: i've put the same movie conversion in queue2. The conversion of this morning has only one queue. So after the other movie conversion, i will check if error happen again and test that.

Thanks!

[8ternity]

I really dont understand what happen!

I've got an x264_x64.exe crash and the end of the second pass.

after click "OK" at the crash application, muxing was done completly. Audio and video was sync (one good news). The second movie in conversion was the one from this morning. I will know tomorrow morning is muxing will be freeze again.

For the x264_x64.exe, did you think i need to bypass the 64bit coding will resolve my trouble? I really dont care about the difference in conversion with my new quad cores amd phenom II, performance are still awesome.

I will wait for recommandations before making or apply any changes.

thanks ataK!

[ShabbyDog]

I can't undestand actually. I have a bd to rip, I first encode it at 1920x1080 and then at 1280x720 but I want the same good quality for both: I should use the same bitrate for both? How could the high res movie be as good as the lower if I get the same file size? I think that a higher res movie needs more bitrate and then will be larger. Where am I mistaking?
Thanks, bye.

Years ago I read a great text that described this.

Imagine you have a small box that's 1280x720 in size. Then you add marbles into the bottom of that box until it's full. The entire bottom is filled with marbles side by side. The marbles now symbolize your bitrate.

If you now create a new box measuring 1920x1080 and move the same marbles from the first box into the second box they would not cover the bottom, right?

So, what does this tell us? Well, bitrate decides the size of your end file but higher resolutions need higher bitrate (more marbles) to cover the bottom.

So, for your 1280x720 box you need less marbles than you do for your 1920x1080 box meaning you need lower bitrate for the lower resolution = smaller filesize.

The discussion about what bitrate you would need for different resolutions I won't even try to get into since folks have very different opinions about that but at least this could help some people understand bitrate vs resolution better.

[dirk362]

I've been using RB for a long time now, and it's a great program, and also the developer continues to fix and enhance.

I'd like to request two enhancements for consideration

1. When working with Custom Resize, would it be possible to either allow manual input of the values, or allow for steps of 2 instead of 4 ?
My rationale for asking is that with a lot of DVB-S/T stuff, you have to crop quite a lot to get rid of dead areas (and also some OSG), and in doing so, when you want to resize back to say 1.85:1 with 640x346, you can only get to 640x348 or x344. I can mitigate this by setting it close, then editing the AVS, and the encoding CMD files (if 2-pass obviously). But it would be nicer to not have to (and I understand that multiples of 2 is not ideal, but when working with MKV, you don't really need to worry about this multiples of 8 or 16 any more).

2. Is there anyway to provide a default additional set of lines to be added to the jobx.avs file ?
Rationale here is to add fade support. I always add this for TV encodes, or when creating multiples that I'll eventually mux together into one.
If not, perhaps an option in the GUI to specify the number of seconds to fade to black at start/end, and then use the FPS of the source to put this in automatically

Of course both of these things I can and do get around manually, but they're quite useful additions with over-complicating the product (which I really like for it's ease of use).

Any chance of the above ?

[quicken]

First and foremost - thanks to Atak for advancing an making Ripbot a valuable tool. My question is that I am stuck; I cant get it to work. I have installed all current versions (and played with older versions) of RB, ffdshow, avisynth, etc. I have a clean install of WM11. All goes well until MPC (getinfo.avs) opens and then the screen stays black and and the status bar appears to have a seizure.

I am trying to rip and encode my own Blu-Ray library (of my own DVDs) for streaming throughout the house. I use AnyDVD to rip the file to the HDD and then RB to try and complete the rest. I am new to blu-ray encoding, but have been successful with standard DVD conversion to MP4.

System info

Quad-core - Q8200
GeForce 9500 GT

Any help would be most appreciated.

[Furiousflea]

Been using this to rip my Blurays...

Problem is, why are you using "down16" command in eac3to on 24bit lossless audio tracks!!!!?

What on earth is the point in that, it makes using FLAC a complete wastre of time surely?

I'm using AAC-LC 5.1 320kbps personally, was also a little curious on why there aren't higher bitrate profiles for AAC-LC 5.1 would be useful when you have a lossless TrueHD\DTSMA track to begin with.

Excuse my ignorance, I'm sure there are very good reasons like the encoders might not accept 24bit audio etc?

Thanks for the work :)

[8ternity]

Hi Atak;

Update: after trying two conversion (different movies), x264_x64.exe was crashed again (ripbot are freeze at 1 Pass 00:00:00) after 1pass done, click OK of the crashed application, ripbot264 muxing the project in queue (the one crashed).

It bring me an idea; did it could be the fast first pass make the application crash?

What you recommand me.

Thanks. Hope thoes informations will help you.

[quicken]

I cannot help you If you won't tell me what MPC says.

It doesn't give me an error. Is there a file that would tell me the error. I apologize for my ignorance in advance - i just dont see one.
