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

[melmac77]

Hi All
I am new to ripbot and so far have done a few HD DVD to MKV no problem awesome program however when I try to do a standard dvd it crops my output to 4:3 instead of keeping it exactly as the original was. This also occured when I tried did a mpg same thing cropped to 4:3. I suspect that this is due to the flag of what the imput file size is is not being passed into Ripbot by FFDShow I hope that makes sense I'm fairly new to encoding. I think that 5something that should be ticked in either FFDSHOW or Haail and is not, hopefully someone could tell me what that would be
Thanks in advance
Mel

Some help Please :(
I have used the installer to upgrade to the newest version of ripbot and FFDShow(2547) but I still cannot get a Std dvd to come out right HDVD and Bluray I do no problem. I ripped Flying High standard DVD to the harddrive with AnydvdHD play one of the VOBs yep full screen looks good, open ripbot load it in go to properties accept default no resize no crop preview and boom 4:3 again where am I going wrong !
Any help greatly appreciated i am quietly going mad here :(

after ripbot creates the d2v file, open it in notepad and copy paste 1st few lines here.

example:

Stream_Type=1
MPEG_Type=2
iDCT_Algorithm=6
YUVRGB_Scale=1
Luminance_Filter=0,0
Clipping=0,0,0,0
Aspect_Ratio=16:9
Picture_Size=720x576
Field_Operation=0
Frame_Rate=25000 (25/1)
Location=0,0,3,6a1ce

edit: sd pal & sd ntsc resize is not correct for vobs. just checked it myself but sd pc is correct.

[~bT~]

SD PAL - 720/436=1.65 = INCORRECT
SD NTSC - 720/362=1.98 = INCORRECT
SD PC - 640/272=2.35 = CORRECT

Should be (excluding borders):

SD PAL - 720/304=2.36

easiest way is to simply resize (no cropping) to 720x400+PAL/NTSC borders.

example:

#Resize
video=Spline36Resize(video,720,400).AddBorders(0,40,0,40)

#Resize
video=Spline36Resize(video,720,400).AddBorders(0,88,0,88)

[juGGaKNot]

spline64 is better for downsampling ( avisynth 2.5.8 )

^ it was an example and also it wasn't downsampled :)

not forgetting, i aint upgraded yet, waiting for the MT patch.

True :D

Have you ever heard about anamorphic resolution and --sar switch in x264?!?!

SD PAL -> --sar 1422:1000 = 1.422*720 = 1024 / 436 = 2.35 !!!
SD NTSC -> --sar 1185:1000 = 1.185*720 = 853 / 362 = 2.36 !!! (tiny error)

Any ideas? Perhaps I need to re-install something?

[gyrene2083]

Atak, I'm sure you heard this already but this is a fantastic program. Kudos to you. For me, this is a long long way from making VCD's, lol... I was able to re-encode The Dark Knight. I got it down to about 9 gigs, and I was truly impressed, that it kept the letterbox scenes and switched to full screen without a hitch. I couldn't tell if I was watching the blu-ray disk itself! I tried using HB and it took about 17 hours, and it didn't keep format of the movie, could be that since I'm still learning that I didn't know what I was doing but it did a decent job, and i was left with a 12 gig file. This only took me about 15 hours.

Here are my specs CoreDuo E8400 3.0ghz, 4gb Ram, running on Vista Ultimate x64. Anyway just wanted to say thank you, and great job!!!

Try adding "-libav" to the eac3to command line, to bypass Nero.

Any reason this might be happening? Windows XP SP3, using the newest version (1.12.0), the audio seems to be Vorbis.

Just got a 1920x1080 benq e2200HD 22' LCD monitor

I must say that the videos encoded with ripbot look much better than the ones done with old methods ( bat r600 and megui r 800 ) that are in the cs encoding world.

Cheers for your work on ripbot.

I have a computer that encodes and merges the files just fine... but the gui says "merging..." in the bottom left corner and doesnt move on to process the next file. The merge is complete however and the file is finished. I also have x264 crashes on a separate computer (but not the merging... problem). Anyone have a clue?

[~bT~]

^ do u have the log folder in place? i had the same problem a while back where the log folder disappeared and it would hang on muxing.

[alc0re]

Atak...when you specify bluray as output...it muxes with tsMuxer if I'm not mistaken (I see the app in the ripbot folders and the log mentions using tsMuxer.) Do you set any special options for txMuxer that are not default? Like for example on video streams the following options are on by default : Add picture timing info and continually insert SPS/PPS and use async I/O. Do you keep those on or do you turn them off?

Or maybe you can help answer my real question that I've asked in a few other forums with no answer.

Here is it : I hope you don't take offense but I don't really use RipBot264 currently, although its a great solution and I may start using it. Right now I transcode blurays to AVCHDs targeted to fit on a dual layer dvd using eac3to, megui, suprip, and tsmuxer. Basically I'm just doing what RipBot264 does, but manually. I have an issue though. My transcoded blurays...the video stutters when I'm playing them on my Panasonic bluray player with the way I've been transcoding them. I rip streams using eac3to, transcode the video with MeGUI using Ryu77's avchd profile. I resize the video down to 1280x720 with a bitrate to fit on a dual layer dvd. i then mux the streams back to a bluray structure using tsMuxer. But the video stutters. Its not a FPS issue...im transcoding @ 23.976 FPS. Its something else. For the hell of it this morning I tried something different. I transcoded the matrix 3 using ripbot. I used your bluray profile. I set it for bluray output and set the target size to a single layer dvd. I burnt that and tested it and there's no stuttering. So I'm trying to figure out what RipBot264 is doing that the video is smooth that I'm not doing correctly with MeGUI doing the transcoding. Any ideas? My only guesses are 1) the x264 encoding/profile settings 2) the level (your bluray profile is high@L4.0 and the one I'm using with MeGUI is high@L4.1) 3) The muxing process with tsMuxer 4) The bitrate. To fit it on a single layer dvd the bitrate is like 3800 which is pretty far below my normal transcoding bitrate or 5) the medium. I burned RipBot's output to a single layer verbatim disc and my normal ones are burnt to a dual layer memorex dvd (before I researched and found that verbatim make better blank dvds.)

Any input would be much appreciated.


EDIT/UPDATE : Nevermind...I figured it out. It was the level. I took one of the movies that was stuttering and demuxed the tracks out. I then re-muxed it with tsRemux and checked the option to change the level from 4.1 to 4.0. It now plays just like its supposed to on my panasonic bd35.

Encountering problems trying to encode Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles BD. I've ripped the disk to my hard drive using AnyDVDHD. I encoded the 3 episodes and they wound up with black bars on the left and right side of the image. http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=0d8915707b1ee678d2db6fb9a8902bda

If I encode a single episode straight to Blu-ray disk the bars are gone, but if I encode more than one episode the bars appear.

Apparently just running BePipe on its own causes it to crash, as well.

After finding out what to do to get files who play on my tvix 4100 i started to recode my blue-ray colection.

But i have now had 3 times that it seems like the second or first pass failes. When i am at my comp watching i notice this becouse the fps shoot's to 88 fps.

last night i loaded the 11 collection's in ripbot which takes some time becouse u need to analyze every file 1 by 1. When i came back this morning it finished 6 files which is weird becouse every recode last 9 hours. So i checked the file and it was very small in mediainfo it showed the following info.

General

So clearly wrong as the video is empty. I tried to create an blue-ray file actually i only need the m2ts file to remux to ts but no ts output option in ripbot264.

Also there was no log in ripbot264 log directory of the failing recode's. Not shure what info u need further but can provide u with anything u need if not already here.

The system is clean btw becouse i multiboot i only have ripbot installed with the installer provided in the forum.

I have compressed the files in my temp folder of the failing job. Which u can download at: job4.rar (http://www.xs4all.nl/~iwens/files/job4.rar)

If u need any further info let me know.

Apparently just running BePipe on its own causes it to crash, as well.
This will solve your problem

Encountering problems trying to encode Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles BD. I've ripped the disk to my hard drive using AnyDVDHD. I encoded the 3 episodes and they wound up with black bars on the left and right side of the image
I need sample of source. Everything should be ok. --sar 1185:1000 is present so output resolution should be 16:9 (853:480). However I have the same problem with your sample.



but if I encode more than one episode the bars appear.
What do ou mean exactly?

Here is a sample of the source. LINK (http://www.mediafire.com/?mg32mjg3yyn)

Let me clarify. If I point RipBot264 to the full rip of the disk it recognizes the 3 episodes as the main feature. At this point everything appears to be normal. I setup my parameters(the script provided) and output to Blu-ray disk. The result is black bars on the entire encode. I then tried encoding only a single episode and output to Blu-ray disk and the encode turned out perfect. So, I can encode one episode per disk with correct results, but not all 3 together.

[laserfan]

Atak...when you specify bluray as output...it muxes with tsMuxer if I'm not mistaken (I see the app in the ripbot folders and the log mentions using tsMuxer.) Do you set any special options for txMuxer that are not default?...I don't really use RipBot264 currently, although its a great solution and I may start using it...
Virtually everything RipBot264 does is readily exposed in the Temp files it creates, including your question about tsMuxeR. Just check "keep those files" and examine them and all will be revealed.

Hi Atak, could you please have a look at my log file, I get this warning about the size and bitrate 95% of the encodings ... :(

Did you get picture in preview?

[mochevolete]

the above log was a BR downsizing and the only way I could make it work has been to demux the video with eac3to before the encoding, and after a whooping 40hrs of encoding (I have a E6400, 2GB, on Vista 32) I got my video re-encoded.

Right now I'm trying to reencode a 5GB m2ts files with BR extras to 1GB mkv, Ripbot reports 23,976fps, but the VC-1 video is actually 29,97fps (reported by yor Mediainfo), BTW after 2 tries the result is a tiny 50MB little file :(, and the preview, using a slight modified profile, is working good

Hi,

I'm getting this error "mp4box has stopped working" in the final stages of an AppleTV conversion within RipBot.

It seems to be happening with select videos but it consistantly happens with those videos.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Is the tesa algorithm activated by default? Does it improve the encoding quality?

nope it looks beautiful so what is causing mine to come out 4:3 ! I have the latest ripbot installed with the installer I figure it has got to be something in ffdshow but I dont know where to look :(

[nwg]

I am still impressed with this software but it would really great if it automatically muxed the original sup subtitle files instead of using srt's. I have to use txmuxer again on its own to incorpate the sup's as I find suprip too inaccurate. It is also nice to have the original fonts.

delete the mplayerc.ini file from tools folder and retry (have you tried the encoded file in any other player?)

if you still get no joy...

uninstall ffdshow, reinstall ffdshow and reset settings.

Wow. This seems to have correct my problem with Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles. :thanks:

update.

My mkv files are now encoded with the correct aspect ratio of 16/9, but it appears that tsmuxer when I append the files and covert them to Blu-ray they are changing to 4:3. Strange

[mochevolete]

after getting almost mad I've figure out that under Xp everything works as expected, so there's something wrong under Vista...
what could cause the ultra low bitrate used during the encodes under Vista ?
Avisynth ? ffdshow ?
obviously I have the latest and suggested revs. installed ...

wich tool is used in the very firts part of the analyzing that decide the wrong bitrate to use later ?

you should check if the target < target.. then no split.

[thehuey]

I have a question. I've been using RipBot264 for quite some time and only recently did it start to not work.

Here's what happens:

After about ~4 successful uses on a fresh install of Windows/FFDshow/Avisynth/Haali Media Splitter, when it finishes demuxing an MKV, WMVHD, M2TS or "whatever" the case may be, it opens up MPC and spits out an ACM Wrapper::Output error and does absolutely nothing else. The files are deleted automatically from the temp folder where the demuxed files rest every time.

I change absolutely nothing. I've tried uninstalling FFDShow, Avisynth and Haali... I have no codec packs isntalled whatsoever. I've noticed it does this mostly on VC-1 sources but it has done it on a few AVC sources as well.

The only solution I've come up with thus far is a reformat on my PC. However, as one might imagine, that's a long and laborious process that isn't really worth it, in my opinion.

I've tried looking through the 180 pages, I've done a search on ACM Wrapper::Output and haven't come up with any solutions. Everything is set to decode with libavcodec.

Please, if you have any help whatsoever I'd greatly appreciate it. I really don't like reformatting everytime RipBot stops working correctly for me.
