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

[pacaveli211]

It would be awesome if I could rip dual audio into an mkv, but it doesn't seem to support it :(

muxing another audio track in with mkvmerge would only take a couple minutes

[Atak_Snajpera]

@Lighto
probably you don't have test.idx file in the same folder

[WildTexasChef]

ok to follow up, the conversion is finished...actually only took 10h:30m:04s !!

The original file size was 19.6 GB, the final size after completion is 3.71 GB :eek:

wow, im impressed...didnt take as long as I first thought, and compressed below 5GB! insane.

The file plays fine but I have not given a run though my 50" plasma, but from the looks on my 19" LCD monitor quality seems fine? :)

That much compression is cool on smaller monitors. You will have to test the quality on your 50". For me the quality sucks when it gets that much compression. Then again you might find it good enough for your needs too.

Nice thing about ripbot.. (Now that I have figured it out better with a little help) you can adjust the quality settings, which also will have a direct effect on the file size too.

I have done a search. But either I am not searching on the right "keyword" or something because I haven't found much. Now I am just more confused than ever.

So if someone can either help me understand this, or provide a link that will explain it better I would be appreciative.

In the Profile "settings" box that pulls up when you click on the "..." box next to profile You get a box with all sorts of settings to adjust.

So what is: What does it mean?

Deblocking Strength Deblocking Sensitivity

M.E. Algorithm Subpixel Refinement

Macroblock Options of
PSXS, SSXS, I4X4 P4X4 and 8X8DCT

The rest of it I know i need to leave alone except for what is:
Weighten B prediction
Weighten P prediction
AVCHD compatibility

how i install latest x264 version in the RipBot264?

[fantasmanegro]

how i install latest x264 version in the RipBot264?

just overwrite the x264.exe file on RipBot264\Tools\x264 folder, but remember, new release = new changes

good luck!

[Shuichiro]

Can someone please provide me with a link to a new version of x264 that is working with Ripbot. I have tried JEEB and Komi but Ripbot just stopped after encoding the audio. Thanks for any help.

[Wishbringer]

but remember, new release = new changes

I have tried JEEB and Komi but Ripbot just stopped after encoding the audio.

e.g. --nal-hrd "vbr" in profiles

Komisar builds work if you change profiles. Haven't tested JEEB's, but should work too.

[Macota]

Is there anyway to get around the program check? I want to try ffdshow x64 but it won't allow me. I read that it could be edited in the inf but that has since been removed.

Edit: Or should I just stick with all x86 apps (ffdshow, avisynth, haali media splitter) even though I am on Windows 7 x64?

Thanks

[Shuichiro]

e.g. --nal-hrd "vbr" in profiles

Thank you for the reply. But now I am unsure if I just should add "vbr" or replace hdr with vbr...? ^^

[Wishbringer]

I am unsure if I just should add "vbr" or replace hdr with vbr...?

Explaination of x264 settings (http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings)

formerly "--nal-hrd" was only a switch, when not added, no infos were written into stream.
now "--nal-hrd" has two options: "vbr" or "cbr".
so you have to correct old settings of "--nal-hrd" to "--nal-hrd vbr" in profile text file in the profiles folder.

From my earlier post at http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1374626#post1374626, thanks to Atak for solving my judder problems on one show. There are still unsolved judder problems w/the White House Revealed ep but I'll tackle that later. (I'm on Ripbot264 v1.15.0.)

I'm still using the same workflow (kmttg to transfer shows from Tivo HD to my PC, resulting in decrypted .mpg files) and I'm now trying to archive some 720p content recorded from NGC HD channel, specifically http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/series/ultimate-factories/4541/Overview and http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/series/ultimate-factories/4904/Overview.

I'm again using [HIGH 4.0] profile, 2-pass encoding and locking size to 2230 MB, and selected X.X COPY stream and creating AVCHDs that I burn w/ImgBurn to play on my PS3.

The video looks fine and there's no judder and audio sync seems fine at the beginning. However, if I skip say 20 minutes into the show, there are SERIOUS audio sync problems. It's off by at least 10 seconds at that point and it happens w/both shows.

Now what?

The (1080i) content where Atak solved my problem with was a Star Trek: Enterprise ep recorded from HDNet. It has no commercials and the resulting AVCHD has perfect audio sync, even at the end. They fade out to what would be a break (when it airs elsewhere) and fade in again w/the next act.

The NGC content DOES have commercials. Could there be audio glitches/changeovers during the commercials causing probs?

Does RipBot264 only use the tools that are in its Tools directory or could I be running into DLL hell? The only significant things that I've installed on this machine (running Vista Home Premium) after "installing" Ripbot264 are T2Sami and multiAVCHD.

(I did also add subtitles via .srt files from t2sami and doubt they're causing problems but haven't re-transcoded w/o them yet, as a test.)

[RipBot264_lover]

Hi,

I use RipBot264 for the conversion of my DVD in mkv and I am completely satisfied by the features of this software.

However, I would like to have some precision on the version or the revision of the codec x264 used in the version 1.15.0.

The reason is the following one:

I downloaded the revision 1471 on the site x264.nl then registered the file by reappointing it correctly in the directory, RipBot264/Tools/x264/ then x264_x86.exe.

That does not work!

When I launch an encoding, I have all jobs finished, after few seconds...

Is there a particular procedure to change or update the version of the codec x264 ?

Sorry for my bad English... and thanks for your answers.

Regards,

[Wishbringer]

Hi,

...

First:
x264.nl files don't have nal-hrd patch, they are plain, so if you want to use that revision, you have to remove "--nal-hrd" entry in profiles text files in profiles folder.
But then you can't create AVCHD or Blu-Ray compilant files.

Second:
Download a nal-hrd patched version of x264, see thread here:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=130364
Komisar builds are good, others too.
Then read my post two entries before!
You have to change profiles txt files in profiles folder manually.
--nal-hrd switch has changed.

Overall:
Reading the log would point that error out too.

If your footage contains commercials then you should remove them using Transport Stream Packet Editor. Make sure you cut at KEY FRAMES!

Can we now use the new Matroska Splitter released on 19/12/2009? A few weeks ago Atak said to use the older version (Atak´s post on the first page, but the warning is missing now).

[detr0yt]

Hello there... first and mostly this prog. is superior! I have a quick ?. I have a i7 water cooled rig thats running at 4.2 ghz flawlessly on windows 7 64 bit. with a ati 4890 as well. My ? is that back 3 months ago my rig was flying through making my back ups.... now it doesnt seem to fly as it use to... im making CQ 18/1080 .mp4 with the base profile of 4.1 and having trellis set to enhanced to stream with my bd 3600 sammy. i was just reading through 2 pages ago. and notice someone saying something about rip bot not using the x264 64 bit? i was understood from my reading that this is a default, or am i wrong? i also may have not used the 4.1 profile nor the enhanced trellis back then... do these two factors really make that much of a differnce? my rips now take 4 1/2 hours when i remember doing them in under 2... or am i just being greedy? I guess basically back then i remember my fps were in the mid to high 20's now there always in 10 or below :-( thanks from Detroit!

@cwerdna

Oh no! :( Are commercials known to cause problems for x264? I don't personally care that commercials are included in my recordings and am trying to minimize the amount of work needed to archive TV shows I want to keep.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Oh no! Are commercials known to cause problems for x264?
every .ts file should be prepared in TSPE. Commercials = waste of space and time. Also commercials use 2.0 which means problems.

[cwerdna]

Darn! I'm trying to simplify workflow.

I personally don't care at all about the "wasted" space and time. It's a waste of time for me to have to do more steps and monkeying around.

But, if it's necessary to solve audio sync problems then I might have to bite the bullet or find something else to preprocess/cleanup the input files.

(If we only had standalone recorders that do what I'm trying to achieve. Before TiVo HD, I archived my standard def content from DirecTiVo using a standalone DVD recorder via s-video in. I just start playing the show and pressed a few buttons to have the recorder go for 1 hour, 2 hours, etc. The results were fine but alas, only standard def.)

BTW, I appreciate your help and that work you did on the app. I hope I haven't come across too harshly. I've just been frustrated by the amount of research, discoveries, lots of trial and error that this has turned into. (experiments w/Handbrake and ffmpeg, reading up on various x264 builds, outputting to various formats, trying to create something playable on my Xbox 360 and PS3 w/5.1 audio, creating discs that had no sound, etc.)

I'm just trying to archive some high def TV shows to disc. There's no way an "average Joe" computer user could figure this all out. (I've done tech support for 2 years in college before so I know the "average" user.)

[stasi]

Hey Atak,

what about to use the --zones parameter? I mean, I want to tell Ripbot to use different settings in the last zone, eg. the last 4-5 minutes of a movie (in most cases the credits aren´t important), so x264 encodes the credits with lower quality (q=22, all filters off...) to save space and time. I could use this when I manually edit the CMD´s, but with Ripbot this step is more comfortable.

Just an idea.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I wouldn't bother. x264 encoder is smart. It knows how to adjust bitrate according to scene complexity.

[Macota]

Hey, thank you very much for putting this program together, the time you have put into it!

:thanks:

[Danj]

I'm having a problem with ripbot264, when it is muxing the output file, mp4box crashes at "Importing AAC 97/100". I uninstalled all codec packs and installed the latest avisynth, ffdshow, haali media splitter, and I also used "run as administrator" to start ripbot. The job log doesn't appear to be showing any errors. My OS is Windows 7 x64 and the computer I'm running this on is an i7 720-QM with 6GB RAM and plenty of HDD space. I did search this thread but could not find any solution already posted, other than the suggestion to use an alternative app for the muxing step. I tried using mp4muxer to do the muxing step as someone suggested and it appears to work, but when seeking in the output file, if I take too big of a jump, the audio cuts out and does not come back no matter where else I seek to. So e.g. if I seek to a point 5 minutes in then it's fine, but if I try to jump to the middle of the movie there's no audio, and if I then go back to the 5 minute mark there is no audio there either.

[hoju3508]

What OS (XP, Vista, or Win7)? Is it a VC-1 movie?

[Macota]

I have a question about HD audio. Can you get 5.1 HD audio playback by using RipBot?

After ripping my movies with AnyDVD HD to HDD, I run RipBot and select the largest file. When it is done analyzing, I select the HD audio track and let it demux. After that I select AVCHD, 2-Pass, lock size 8150, [HIGH 4.0] HD . BlurRay . Consoles and lastly x.x C O P Y S T R E A M.

Once the file is created, I try to play it through TotalMedia Theatre 3 Platinum (Xonar HDAV 1.3 through HDMI to a Denon 2310CI). HDMI is enabled and pass-through is set.

When I play a direct rip from a Blu-Ray, TMT3 does in fact bitstream HD Audio. When I play from the RipBot AVCHD file, TMT3 information just reports LPCM 4500kbps. Even when I select to output it as LPCM it still sends two channel audio. I have to select DTS or Dolby mixing to get 5.1 audio.

I know that is probably too much info and I dont expect you to know about TMT3. I am just wondering if the way I setup RipBot is correct and if that should provide me with 5.1 HD audio. If so, TMT3 is the problem and I need to find another way to bitstream the audio.

Edit: One more question. If I were to select FLAC before demuxing, say for a file I wanted as small as possible, does RipBot actually convert HD audio into FLAC or is that tic box just for extracting audio that was already converted to FLAC?

[Atak_Snajpera]

By default TrueHD/DTS-MA is decompressed to .wav. If you select FLAC then instead of .wav you get .flac.

It is not my fault that your equipment does not accept multichannel uncompressed audio.

[Tolham]

What OS (XP, Vista, or Win7)? Is it a VC-1 movie?

win7 x64, vc-1 with dts-hd.

the movie is Mystic River.

It is not my fault that your equipment does not accept multichannel uncompressed audio.

Why so defensive? I was just asking a question.

I did NOT say it was your fault. I was just asking if RipBot was supposed to be providing 5.1 untouched HD, which it doesn't as you said.

My equipment does accept multichannel uncompressed audio, it's this freaking Xonar card that is giving me all the headaches ... that or the TMT3. I can't figure out which is the culprit.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Whoever has Blu-Ray player please test this sample AVCHD. It was encoded with latest x264 with 1.32 HRD patch. I need to know if it works without any problems on your blu-ray player especially Panasonic BD35. I'm still delaying new version because of this patch. I still don't know if it is already safe to use.

I am downloading that file now to test for you. I dont have a Panasonic but have a PS3 and Samsung BD-C5500. Will let you know.

I figured out the multichannel functionality on the Xonar card so I am good to go there.

Going back to my previous question and your answer, I just want to make sure I understand you. I am still learning all this so please bare with me. When you say it is decompressed to .wav does that infer that it is decoded?

I dont know how it works so could use an explanation from anyone willing to give one. Googling is just leaving me more confused.

Either way, IF RipBot is providing decoded audio, is it a chance in the future it will allow encoded audio for bitstreaming? Is this even possible?

Thanks for whatever info you can give.

Edit: Yeah I couldnt extract it either. Says 00000.m2ts file is broken under stream and playlist as well 00000.mpls is broken.

The above result is now very interesting since any version of jdobbs BD Rebuilder using x284 r1442 or later with the nal-hrd patches v1.31 and v1.32 will not produce a playable AVCHD on my Panasonic BD35 SAP

Frankly it does not matter which version you use... Both use the same sources.

ok, i'm using the CLSID version now but i can't play m2ts files
with VC-1 with wmp or wmp classic!?!?

maybe i have to set in the ffdshow filter to use "libavcodec" insted of "wmv9"?

thx for your answer atak

[3408]

Atak,
I have searched and searched this forum - I am running v1.15.0 for quite some time and would like to know where this (check box) for 5.1 downmix is located?

Thanks in advance

Please can advise on this question above?
yes if you want to have the same problems as Blackwalker has

I have my own decoders selected and I don't want to use the settings RipBot uses.
what decoders?

[twazerty]

what decoders?

I use libavcodec for H264, VC and MPEG2 but RipBot sets them to the following settings each time I run RipBot:
H264: ffmpeg-mt
VC1: wmv9
MPEG2: libavcodec.

Thanks Again Atak - Would you recommend running Ripbot on Vista 64 or Win 7 64 and would i benefit at all from my current OS XP 32 BIT?

fyi - I am a quad core 6600 - clocked to 3.0ghz and i usually see around high 20's FPS 1st pass and 10'S Second pass

Just tried it but still no audio selectable :confused:

[Atak_Snajpera]

you will have to send me 50mb sample to www.mediafire.com. use dgsplit 1.1

@twazerty
h264: ffmpeg-mt is multithreaded. libavcodec is not!
vc-1: wmv9 supports interlaced vc-1 . libavcodec supports only progressive vc-1!

[Macota]

Is it on your map to allow untouched encoded hd audio in a future version?

this is what i ask before:

can somone give me a hand?
I recently reinstalled all the OS, windows 7 64bit.
Before i was able to play file "m2ts" with VC-1, so i dont know
what to think about! :confused:

i'll set for VC-1: wmv9 but still cannot play the movie!
damn...

[stasi]

unfortunately it's in german, hope it helps anyway (don't know how to change that)



That is exactly the same error i got a few weeks ago. I resolved it by deleting the "locale" folder. Do you have installed mkvtoolnix? Please deinstall, and delete the registry entry of mkvtoolnix (search for it).

ARE YOU REALLY SURE THERE IS NO GERMAN UMLAUT IN THE FOLDER OR FILENAME YOU WANT TO ADD? JUST TRIED IT WITH "Tränen der Sonne" -> NO AUDIO, RENAMED IT TO "Traenen der Sonne" -> AUDIO WORKS

Install Media Player Classic HOME CINEMA, goto Options->Internal Filters->Transform Filters, activate "VC1 (FFmpeg)" and open your m2ts file. This worked for me.

nope, atak has stated before he thinks HD audio is pointless

Hrm, ok. Wonder why he thinks that, I would like to know so I could understand his side of it.

Thanks for the reply! :)

[Mr. Monte]

Just tried Ripbot last night for the first time.

I have a question. I am encoding a DVD-VIDEO (MPEG 2) to MKV. I pointed Ripbot to the Video_TS. RIpbot indexed the files and came up with the proper info streams. I went through and auto-cropped, selected copy audio.

However, I did not see the available subtitles to select to put in my MKV container. Where is the option for DVD video? I think I've seen it when encoding Blu-Rays...but did not see it for DVD-VIDEO

TIA :thanks:

[Balthazar2k4]

This has been discussed numerous times before. Atak is allowing the lossless conversion of HD audio (TrueHD, DTS-HD Master, PCM) to FLAC. FLAC is a more efficient compression container and in most instances saves space. Any PC can playback multichannel FLAC without breaking a sweat and the XBOX and PS3 can stream FLAC via most UPNP servers (I would recommend PS3 Media Server).

Maybe you have already answered this, but do you have the Arcsoft decoder installed? I see you are trying to convert DTS-HD MA to FLAC, without the decoder installed it will be impossible.

Edit: Probably should have read back a page to see what precisely was the problem. I see you are trying to do a 5.1 downmix, but the content you are converting is already 5.1. I don't think RipBot shows the 5.1 downmix option unless the content has more than 6 channels.

i have another question.
Everytime i start decoding using RipBot i get this warnign windows:

but the output looks ok.
Is it normal or i have something wrong in my settings??

Ohh I have read, I am not trying to convert flac.....

Didn't know DTS MA could come in 5.1.... I thought DTS MA was all 7.1?

Atak do I need the Arcsoft?

Or is my FFdshow need to be set to 7.1 or?

[pacaveli211]

DTS-HD MA just means uncompressed / lossless. I've seen it in 5.1/6.1/7.1

if you're going to downmix to DTS 1.5 just use tsmuxer (downconvert HD audio), or if you want to keep the original track just demux / mux it back in after encoding

Yes i use tsmuxer to downcovert to 5.1 sources then mux it back with Ripbot - I am trying to eliminate a step!

pacaveli211 does your 5.1 downmix checkbox show up on your ripbot? and have you used it?

[Mr. Monte]

ANy idea on the SD DVD-VIDEO subtitle option?

HDConvertX and Staxrip both have it...was wondering if Ripbot could?

Also, how does NOT having subtitles in your MKV affect forced subtitles in a movie?

[Balthazar2k4]

Yes i use tsmuxer to downcovert to 5.1 sources then mux it back with Ripbot - I am trying to eliminate a step!

pacaveli211 does your 5.1 downmix checkbox show up on your ripbot? and have you used it?

The downmix option is only available on sources with greater than 6 channels. You will not see the option otherwise. I have used it many times without issue.

[pacaveli211]

pacaveli211 does your 5.1 downmix checkbox show up on your ripbot? and have you used it?

I change/modify audio tracks as little as possible. And as far as I know ripbot won't output any DTS (other than copying). so I never do any audio processing with ripbot. if I have HD audio I just use tsmuxer or eac3to to extract the core. I was talkin about downconvert, which is not the same thing as downmix. but you also end up with a 5.1 track after doing the downconvert.

yes, it's normal and you have to check also "Don't Ask again"
BUT make sure you have selected "Use FFDSHOW Always"

since you are using a direct show decoder ffdshow is asking if it's allowed to be used..

if you don't mind, why the move back to older version of Haali? is it possible to ignore it like few versions back?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Newer version does not support vc-1 in m2ts (?!?!)

[nekrosoft13]

weird, I re-encoded an m2ts (from blu-ray) with vc-1 and dtsma about 4 days ago with 15.0 just fine. Had the same Haali version installed, the latest from december.


edit, yap, VC-1 in m2ts works fine with 15.0 and latest version of Haali

just one question.

When i rencode a bly-ray movie, with CQ 18, the movie from 15gb become 9.5gb (around).
Isnt this too much?!?!

I also see always some artifacts/pixelation if (while playing) i move the movie forward...is this normal or what?
(this happen with CF 18 or with 2-pass bly-ray movie)

Someone can suggest me better settings for bly-ray in "profile/advanced"?
(I dont care about the output size)

hope in your help :)
thx a lot

[Mr. Monte]

I was seeing pixelation with my profile settings and the newer r1471 x264 when using KMPlayer with CoreAVC 2.0 By change I opened the same file up with Windows Media player using the latest FFDshow 3305 (tryout version) and pixelation is gone.

BTW, I noticed the link in the new 1.15.1 Ripbot for FDShow say minimuim version 3300, however the link goes to a 3299. you can find a 3305 tryout if you look..works fine

P.SS

Atak, would you please add subtitle support for DVD-VIDEO movie rips (non-blueray)?

TIA

[Wishbringer]

You can get even newer ffdshow versions at http://xvidvideo.ru

Same for MPC HomeCinema.

Only problem was with Symantecs false SONAR reports, because native language of system where compiler is installed is russian.

so the problem is the ffdshow version or the x264 conversion?
humm...this "artifacts/pixelation" have to do with the conversion process or only with the codec?


Atak say that there is no difference about the ffdshow version you are using...
Currently i'm using the xxl version, before i used the clsid one.
Now you say to use the tryout...links for the tryout (32 & 64)?
(if remember i have to install both under windows 7 64 bit, correct?

And...


sometimes i see the same artifact (not always) using tversity to stream hd movie to my lcd with PS3.

anyway, which are the best settings for bly-ray under "profile/advanced"?
There are so many options and i'm lost...

i'd like to know if there is a guide/help about are all these settings (where you select bly-ray 4.0 profile) - "profile/advanced"!!! there is?


sorry to make so many questions and aksing so many info!!!

if you don't care about size stop compressing / re-encoding your movies. I guarantee you won't get any pixelations then.

[ajua]

I built an HTPC for my living room and I will use use it as a rip box while not in use.
I'm getting the ffdshow and Haali warning when starting RipBot 1.15.1.

In the HTPC I have latest version of win7codecs installed which comes with the latest tryout of ffdshow and the most recent version of Haali. I've read here that one must revert to an older version of Haali for VC-1 to work. Is there a way to skip those checks like many versions ago?

I don't need VC-1 support right now and I know for sure that I have the most recent build of ffdshow tryouts. I can use the new version 1.15.1 with these checks.

Thanks.

Yea i know :D

Ok the size dont care, but some movie are really toooooo big!
Around 12/15GB, each one, its ok for my htpc with a buffalo nas.
So i have all my movie ready to play :) but i cant buy 200 buffalo nas :D too much expensive!

I'd like to compress my movie, not too much, but with a good quality.

thats why i'm asking about the problem!

that is the problem, you can't use ripbot 1.15.1 unless you change your haali version, since ripbot itself works fine with new haali, i wish there would be simple way to ignore that check

However, I still have the ffdshow warning.
The version I have is 3309 but somehow RipBot keeps telling that I need at least 3300.

Any advice? thanks.

shark sometimes forgets to update the registry information for ffdshow, you have to go into registry and change the version number yourself.

for 64bit ffshow go to

LOCAL_Machine\Software\GNU\ffdshow64 and look for revision, change the decimal value to 3309

for 32bit ffdshow go to

LOCAL_Machine\Software\Wow6432Node\GNU\ffdshow and again look for revision, and change it to 3309

I recently upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate x64 RC to the full version (7600, Ultimate x64) & am now having a couple issues. I've figured out all the other problems except for wmp classic not being able to render video files to see a preview of my jobs. I'm using RipBot v1.15.1 now. I downloaded the newest version of wmp classic I could find but that doesn't seem to work. I tried searching for the answer already but maybe I'm not using the correct string of words in my search. I believe I went through this when I 1st upgraded to Windows 7 but cannot for the life of me remember how to fix this. Does anyone know off hand? Thank you!

[Atak_Snajpera]

I remuxed your sample in tsmuxer and it works in 1.15.1 without problems!

[laserfan]

Atak your bitrate algo was "off" for me (video target was 100Kbps too high) and I can only think that your logic didn't like my unusual audio bitrate which was 320kbps.

Not a big deal for me cuz I only had to re-work the (stereo) audio to 256kbps to fit my DVD-5 without re-encoding, but I thought I'd tell you about it anyway.

[Atak_Snajpera]

AC3 320kbps is very very very rare. That's why I didn't include proper algo for that weird bitrate.

[hoju3508]

I remuxed your sample in tsmuxer and it works in 1.15.1 without problems!

If you don't mind me asking, what version of ffdshow are you using?

I'm currently on this rev: r3301 2010-03-03 (March 03, 2010).

[Atak_Snajpera]

r3305 but 3301 was also ok

[laserfan]

AC3 320kbps is very very very rare. That's why I didn't include proper algo for that weird bitrate.NP next time I know to make it 256 instead.

p.s. Here is a list of "legal" AC3 bitrates that I go to when choosing an audio bitrate, taken from some DD doc:

‘000000’ (0) 32 kbps 60 42 40

One question, is MKV demuxing suppose to be a lot slower than demux an AVI file on RipBot264 or it'll being tried to improve? Right now, demuxing a small MKV file size is slower than a large AVI. I am guessing it's because of the x264 codec used in that MKV but I still want to hear why, from you. Thx.

Again it works on my win7 x64 without problems...

[soneca]

So I have no idea what might be ...
When I go back to version 1.15.0 works without problems.
I'm using ffdshow r3301.

[Atak_Snajpera]

When I go back to version 1.15.0 works without problems.
I have no idea either. It does not matter if I use 1.15.0 , 1.15.1 , older ffdshow ,newer ffdshow ... works as usual
Besides both versions use DirectShowSource

[soneca]

I installed the r3316 and now is working!:cool:

[hoju3508]

^Nothing has change on my system except for version 1.15.1 of RipBot264. I'm not seeing this problem when rolling back to 1.15.0.

This is not quite true. I had installed AVCHDCoder before trying out version 1.15.1. I went ahead and uninstalled AVCHDCoder, ffdshow, Avisynth & Haali Media Splitter, and re-installed ffdshow, Avisynth & Haali Media Splitter. Now, version 1.15.1 is working perfectly for me :cool:.

[god_md5]

only one thing is not good in this software,RipBot264.ini is not save all the setup,open open movie is need to edit one time
like denosie and color ,deinterlace is not save .maybe lock size is same cannot save,but not test..
and indexing file use many time to wait..

[god_md5]

ffdshow ver problems can open the use in "ffdshow Video decoder configuration "???

[Atak_Snajpera]

what?

[DVDfever.co.uk]

I really like Ripbot, but it has one major niggle for me since I started using it (I'm using v.1.15.0, BTW).

For every video I want to turn into an mp4 file, I want to use the same custom resolution (1024x576) and to set 25fps interlacing, but I have to manually tell it this *every* single time for *every* single video file and it's annoying *every* time.

Please can you add something which allows me to save a set of custom settings? Other than that, Ripbot is perfect. I used to use Super, but while it worked under version 35 (for some reason version 37 doesn't work on my Vista PC and when I tried to uninstall that and go back to 35, even doing a system restore), it's just killed it on this PC for me, the one really annoying thing it did was kill any Outlook processes for me while processing, meaning I couldn't use that while converting files and having to run it again afterwards.

Thanks in advance.

[Atak_Snajpera]

How do I lock it, please? I just get "Custom [x,xx:1]" in that box. Ta.

[soneca]

Unfortunately RipBot264 not process directly DTS tracks as in previous versions.
I agree when you say that the Dolby Digital is better, but do not want to convert a font that contains only track in DTS to DD. The ideal is to keep this soundtrack without conversion.
So, eac3to together ...

if movie contains ...
DTSMA -> .wav/.flac -> AC3 640kbps = DTS 1,5Mbps
DTS -> .dts (not .wav/.flac!!!) - audio is untouched

[darkNiGHTS]

I just wanted to say thank you for the program! Yours was the 6th video converter I tried when looking for one and yours is by far the best. Thank you for your fantastic work.

[crackinhedz]

hey Atak, quick question...successfully converted two movies yesterday, and have not done anything different since...and today im getting this error:

DirectShowSource : Timeout waiting for graph to start.
(C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)

does this mean anything?? What do I need to fix?

[soneca]

DTSMA -> converted to .wav/.flac - AC-3 640kbps ~ DTS 1,536kbps = whatever
DTSHD... - PCM - aften < AC-3 640kbps...:confused:

I'm sorry if I do not understand how it works RipBot:(

[Balthazar2k4]

DTSHD... - PCM - aften < AC-3 640kbps...:confused:

I'm sorry if I do not understand how it works RipBot:(

What exactly do you NOT understand? I think Atak has made it pretty clear. If the movie you are trying to convert has a DTS (NOT DTS-HD MA), then you can tell RipBot to use that without converting. RipBot only converts DTS if you tell it to. If the movie has DTS-HD MA audio then RipBot will either strip out the DTS core or convert to FLAC. I don't know how to make this any simpler.

[Balthazar2k4]

I will pretend that i didn't see this question. You will have to figure why.

:) Try selecting the option above "Custom [x.xx:1]". It might say something like "Custom [1.85:1]" and then you can select the resolution and RipBot will lock the vertical.

[soneca]

If the movie you are trying to convert has a DTS (NOT DTS-HD MA), then you can tell RipBot to use that without converting.
I do not see this option ...
The RipBot does not extract the core of a source DTS-HD (not MA), just gives me the option to convert using aften.

Edit.
I used eac3to for so long that do not pay attention to these parameters.
In some movies with DTS-HD tracks have that option and others this option does not exist.

[MKVCrazy]

Another question,

Is it possible that RipBot264 will have "auto-appending" feature? For example, you load in an small clip of AVI file then it will do all the necessary things first (like demux, extract frame, gather info) etc. Then there is another button for "auto-append" whatever but not the regular "open" button and it will do the same thing like demux, extract frame etc BUT RipBot264 will combine the first converted file and the 2nd converted file at the end of 2nd file's conversion. It doesn't have to be only 2 files, can be 3 or more files combined after conversions.

I think this feature will be very useful. Just an idea.

if you didn't know.... you can do this with a remux using tsmuxer or mkvmerge (they both have append capabilities)

[mrtomesh]

First off, I love RipBot! Thank you so much for developing RipBot and providing the great support that you do! I always use RipBot for all x264 and VC-1 to convert to MKV.

I have a 4 processor quad core Opteron 8356 2.3GHz server board for 16 total CPUs running Server 2003 R2 Enterprise

I'm using ffdshow 3316 ICL10 with 64 bit on top. I have noticed in ffdshow the max threads I can set is 8 - wonder why that is?

Are there any other things I can change to take advantage of the 16 CPUs?

ffmpeg-mt is running 100% CPU converting M2TS to MKV.

When I convert VC-1 using WMV9 to MKV, it varies between as low as 20 and as high as 100%. Is that due to WMV9?

Is the Haali disk buffer just for playback?

RipBot has the vbv buffer size set at 25000. What does that do?

There does not appear to be a 64 bit build of avisynth.

Basically, the 4p machine is about 80% faster than a quad Phenom at 3.4GHz.

I'm thinking about switching to Linux for Folding at Home. Any advice how Ripbot will do in Wine or some other Windows emulator? I could always do a dual boot.

One thing I have noticed with Windows is that I have 6 Gb of RAM doing nothing while Windows pages even though I have told it not to page. I can't figure that one out. The same age old mystery of paging strikes again.

Just looking for any more tweaks.

Thanks

[MKVCrazy]

if you didn't know.... you can do this with a remux using tsmuxer or mkvmerge (they both have append capabilities)

That is the reason why I asked if RipBot264 could also do it. I mean, add a button there or something that'll do that job (Of course I understand it's not just about adding a button). It's inconvenient and time wasting when you have to keep combining multiple files using MKVmerge or VirtualDubMod when you convert about 3-4 sets. The source files are usually about 4 times larger than the output file (MP4 for iPod) and it makes sense that combining the output files will take shorter time then combining the source files first.

For ex. Treat the segments separately (like 2 different jobs) with same settings then combine the outputs afterwards.

In some movies with DTS-HD tracks have that option and others this option does not exist.

In order to keep the source audio, simply select the "x.x COPY STREAM" option under the audio profile.

[soneca]

I know! I use RipBot a long time, but there are some soundtracks in DTS-HD simply does not give me that option, do not know why ...:confused:

Yes, the DTS Decoder that comes with Arcsoft TMT will help you to achieve what you are trying to do. If you look in the tools/ax directory of your RipBot installation you will find further instructions as to how to setup the decoder.

Thanks for the tip! I was reading right now that the Totalmedia Theater has the DTS-HD decoder ...
I'll do some experiments.:)

Hello.
I've been using RipBot for god knows how long without any serious errors. Only until recently did I start getting mad, with this error I can't convert any videos.

Everything I do is the same as usual. Set up my videos and what not, I start converting. It'll go through the process of encoding the audio, but once that finishes I get this error:
http://img2.pict.com/5e/91/bc/3128839/0/0.jpg

after that it automatically starts muxing, with only audio. but nothing happens. it moves on to the next video and repeats the results.


Everything was working just fine a couple of days ago. The time everything started getting wacky was when I downloaded v1.15.1 and updated my ffdshow. I've since tried going back to v1.15.0 and installed an older version of ffdshow, but nothing works. Any help on my situation?

EDIT:
I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Haali Media Splitter and AviSynth, but the outcome is always the same.

Are you running an overclocked machine? Typically this is a sign of system instability on a hardware level.

[pacaveli211]

shikyo:
do you really only have an x86 machine?
if not, open the ini and enable x64 bit
or try reinstalling (rextracting) ripbot. or simply just the \Tools\x264 folder.

[Lighto]

The new ffdshow is quite irritating, I need to add avs2avi.exe into the whitelist.....
Those with the ffdshow problem can try messing with the configuration.:)

I haven't messed with anything to overclock it; I don't know if that's the problem but I'll look into that.

[Atak_Snajpera]

have you read first post?

[Atak_Snajpera]

This only happens if you do clean instalation. For some unknown reason whitelist is not created by installer.

[nekrosoft13]

Atak_Snajpera, is there a way/setting to ignore Haali version requirement? Since few pages back it was established that it was only VC-1 playback issues, nothing to do with encoding. There is no reason for old Haali version requirement.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Why do you need new broken haali media splitter?

[soneca]

I need to register or do something to the file (ASAudioHD) in the tools/ax for the dts decoder to work properly?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Just put all required files to that folder and ripbot264 will do rest.

[soneca]

But the files are already there!:confused:

[Atak_Snajpera]

eeee. Can you remind me what is your problem?

[shikyo]

have you read first post?

I have read the first post. I've used both tools, and they both show no instability problems. No errors at all; I was honestly hoping for an error to show so I could at least know what the problem was.

[soneca]

You talk to overwrite files that already exist in the folder? ...
Because it seems that all the required files were already there.

[Achilleus]

Yes, the DTS Decoder that comes with Arcsoft TMT will help you to achieve what you are trying to do.
Is there a downside to this; ie a reason not installed by default?

Thanks

[nekrosoft13]

because it not broken in my case

[Balthazar2k4]

Is there a downside to this; ie a reason not installed by default?

Thanks

There is no downside as I have seen. The only reason I believe this is not installed by default is that Atak cannot freely distribute the Arcsoft decoder as it is apart of Total Media Theater. Therefore, you must install TMT and copy the files as directed by the TXT file.

[Balthazar2k4]

because it not broken in my case

I have to ask, what are the advantages of the December build of Haali over the November build of Haali? Aside from the lack of VC-1 support, I am not sure why you would want to use it.

Ok, thanks. I see the first file listed at the arcsoft site as a trial. I can see how that iwll work for needed files, but I can find the second file, the patch, nowhere, including google, there is only an old disabled link.

I haven't installed TMT since Atak added the support to RipBot. I am not sure if the current TMT trial will work without a patch. The patch may be incorporated into the trial at this point. The instructions may just be a bit outdated. Try it as is and see if it works. Let us know.

Yes, i'm still on an x86 machine. I've already tried reextracting RipBot and the x264 folder a couple of times.

I think your problem may be the ffdshow update. if you have an older cpu you might want to make sure you get the generic builds (if you've gotten one of the ICL10 builds). otherwise you might try going back to an older version of it. make sure you first uninstall any version that's installed and then install the new one. also make sure you're not installing the x64 version =P

[mrtomesh]

I installed Haali 1.9.355.21. Since I have a x64 system, it put only the x64 files into the x86 directory. RipBot says it is not installed. Is there a way to point to the x64 version?

[Atak_Snajpera]

newer and x64
newer does not mean better. x64 is useless for now. We still don't have official avisynth x64 + ported ALL plugins used by ripbot264.

Before when it was all working fine I was using the ICL10 version. I had just remembered yesterday that I still have RipBot264 v1.15.0 on my other computer and it still works. I'm thinking of copying those files over to this computer, and download/install the exact version ffdshow too.

Here's hoping that it works out!

Just dropped by to say thanks to those who tried to help me. I got RipBot to work after uninstalling everything (including registries) and reinstalling again.

Well, my procedure worked and I'm back in business! I was thinking that the problem may have been ffdshow, but I'm not certain.

[mrgoodwin]

Been using Ripbot quite successfully for the last month and then all of a sudden it thinks I don't have ffdshow installed. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling ffdshow several times without any luck. I finally setup Windows from scratch and reinstalled and Ripbot still doesn't think I have ffdshow installed. Any ideas what I can try to fix this?

Assuming that was meant for me, that's what I currently have installed. I downloaded it fresh when the problem first arose, and again after I reinstalled Windows. No luck.

[crackinhedz]

hey Atak, fixed my previous problem with a new re-install of all programs...but currently encountered something different, hopefully you have some ideas...

I have been converting a list of movies and after one of them finished I decided to take a break and let my PC cool off by shutting it down for a while...been using it non-stop for almost three days. Anyways, I still had like 6 movies in the queue, but after the re-start they do not show up anymore??

The "keep jobs que" is still checked (I never change this setting), and I still have the jobs in the TEMP folder, so I don't know what happened?? Is it possible to load the TEMP files back into ripbot without having to go through the whole analyze process again??

Any help is appreciated!

Awesome, worked like a charm. Thanks!


also quick question, do I need to edit the .ini file to make x264 64bit run or does it automatically select 64 bit? (my conversions seem to take a lot longer again)

[Atak_Snajpera]

what do you see in ripbot264.ini?

[eljefeargentino]

hey atak,

i really like ripbot, i'm using the x64 under w7 64 and it works perfectly and also the encoding speed is quite good. thanks for that... even though, one question... is it possible to pause and resume the encoding work?

cheers, jefe

[DVDfever.co.uk]

:) Try selecting the option above "Custom [x.xx:1]". It might say something like "Custom [1.85:1]" and then you can select the resolution and RipBot will lock the vertical.

I've only got a figure of 1.33:1, no options for 1.85 or 1.78 which was what confused me. I'm taking an mpg2 file (720*576) which is a vertically-squeezed anamorphic image, and want to make it 16:9 (1024*576) so Ripbot doesn't automatically appear to bring up 1.78:1 as any kind of an option. How do I bring up those options manually, please?

[Ramscoop]

Hey Atak,

I just downloaded RipBot264 1.15.1 which requires ffdshow r3300+ but, at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/files/ I only see the generic win32 build at rev3299; am I able to use any of the other ffdshow builds with 1.15.1? Thanks!

I just try ripbot on Win7. I only installed what ripbot required at the popup window.

when I play the movie I see the subs. but they are not present in the .264. even if I force the subs in the properties screen.

I have that in job1.avs

Loadplugin("E:\DVD-tools\RipBot264v1.15.0\Tools\AviSynth plugins\VSFilter\VSFilter.dll")
video=VobSub(video,"C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\3_subtitles_English.sub")

do I need to install a plugin to ffdshow ?

if I play the movie in MediaPlayer from the job1.avs.. the subs are not shown either.

that's why I'm asking about a plugin or a setting somewhere.

[Atak_Snajpera]

check 3_subtitles_English.sub in BDSup2Sub if it is not corrupted. Make sure that 3_subtitles_English.idx is in the same directory!

[survivant001]

open fine in DBSup2sub.

There is something wrong with those subs. Original do not show like you said but exported by DBSup2sub work well.

[DVDfever.co.uk]

How do I bring up those options manually, please?

Does anyone know why, please? The file is essentially 4:3 (as it's anamorphically-squeezed) but what I was after was to be able to make an automatic setting that I can use every time rather than have to manually select 720x576 and then hold down the button to increase the left-hand figure to 1024, which takes ages. Thanks.

[slow4mula]

i can't seem to get any vc1 bluray rips to encode since the latest version. i am getting directshowsouce: timeout waiting for graph to start. e:\temp\ripbot264\job1\getinfo.avs, line2)

my ffdshow settings are set to wmv9 for vc-1, although i tried libavcodec.

any ideas? i am in win7 x64 using the 110109 version of matroska splitter.

h264 and mpeg2 conversion work fine.

[komisar]

slow4mula, install latest ffdshow and use Win7DSFilterTweaker to enable process VC1 stream with ffdshow

[survivant001]

it's a MKV

ok, I'll replace the original with the exported.. see how it goes.

[illestdomer2005]

I don't know if anyone has run into this before, but I had to specify 1920x1080 resolution recently on a conversion of The Bourne Ultimatum. Ordinarily, I leave it on the default that doesn't change the resolution, but for some reason when RipBot would start trying to convert the movie, Aften.exe and BePipe.exe would start and then seem to hang. Other movies converted fine; so, I was scratching my head as to what might be the problem.

The solution was manually specifying the resolution; so, if you've ever had RipBot hang at "Please Wait...," it might be that. Just wanted to share :)

[theshadow12345]

Hey Guys. I've been usung ripbot 1.15.1 for a while now and successfully encoded 15 Blu-rays to 1080P MKV files. Lately I've been getting crashed X264_x64.exe errors on my 2nd pass only. The first pass flys through with no problems. I am running on an intel I7 oc to 3.8, 6GB, p6X58 Mobo, windows 7 x64 with the lastest Java x86, x64, Avisyth 2.5.8, hali media splitter 1.9.42.1, ffdshow rev 3316 x64, ffshow rev 3322 x86 clsid and netfx64. I tried removing and installing everything all over again and still can't figure out why this keeps happening. I read a few posts back that downgrading to the old x264.exe can fix this problem but im not sure how to configure ripbot to recognize the new files since i'm trying to replace both 64 and 32 bit versions. Ripbot finishes the job in less than 1 second when you hit the start encoding button which is unusual. I also tried to download and use the 1471 newer builds of x264 but no luck either.

Anyway if you guys can help an old newb out i would really appreciate it.

Thanks

solution: give me your i7 setup and I'll give you my phenom setup. you won't have anymore problems!

[theshadow12345]

try new ffdshow r3326 http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/files/

I'll try ffdshow r3326 if the error comes back on this 2nd pass. Usually it doesn't get pass 65%. right now it's on 4% with less than 3 hours to go.

I'll check out that memtest86 but the cpu test im pretty sure its ok. The temps on that @ 100% full load does not get pass 74 tops. I think this is acceptable.

No thanks. I've always been an Intel guy. Never used AMD but was very close in getting the X4.

[Woqini]

I can't get 1.15.1 to work, i get the x264 crash constantly. Went back to 1.15.0 and everything works perfect.

Probably posted before, but how the h... can a 19 GB movie like Madagascar 2 be boiled down to 2.4 GB with Ripbot using CQ22 ???

Quality is "in my eyes" identical to the original. It's 8x smaller than the original!!!!

Great program !!!

[pacaveli211]

animated stuff will usually compress a lot better while still maintaining decent quality

[Balthazar2k4]

I'll check out that memtest86 but the cpu test im pretty sure its ok. The temps on that @ 100% full load does not get pass 74 tops. I think this is acceptable.

Temperature is far from an indicator of system stability. I run an i7 @ 4ghz and runs temps in the mid 80s. The key to stability (or at least as I have found) with an i7 is in the vCore. Edging it up even slightly can make a world of difference in the system stability at full load. Yes, it will cause higher temps, but I have been pushing mine for a year without fail. In fact, running in the 80s on an oc'ed i7 is fairly common. Try running Prime95 for at least 12 hours. If your machine can hack it then you are most likely ok. A normal program, even x264, won't stress the processor as much as Prime.

[soneca]

The Linx program is the most extressante I know!!

If my i7 worked up the original clock I would not have the courage to use it!

[Balthazar2k4]

Honestly, any recognized stress testing program will work. I have run Linx (LinPack) on my machine for 24 hours without issue. The key is the testing conditions themselves. Always run with a minimal configuration of background resources. Remember that Windows is using resources while running the stress test, so the least # of apps stealing cycles in the background the better. A stable machine is a stable machine regardless of which stress test you use.

Hi ,

I have a question for connnaiseurs...

I tried to encode a .ts file those size is about 8,4 GB ,from 1980 to 720.
I made all required settings and it shows me 4,372,895 frames to be processed.
The time ??? Well , at least 34 hours..:D

Is this situation a normal one ???
What should I do to accelerate the whole process of encoding ??

Thanks for future answers !!!
Looking forward for them.....

[Mr. Monte]

I have a unique (to me anyway) situation. When, and only when I rip a DVD-5 (Video_TS), MPEG II DVD and then encode with Ripbot. I get lines across the screen (almost like tearing or interlace lines. Even though the DVD is not interlaced. If I select deinterlace with TF 29.97 the lines go away, but the picture is "not as sharp"

To attempt to figure out the culprit, I use HandBrake (since all codecs are self-contained). Handbrake does not show this issue.

So, I believe it may be a codec issue...but how to I find out. RipBot has all its own codecs in the tools folders.

I am using Windows 7 with a i7 720 processor.

Any help would be appreciated.

[soneca]

A stable machine is a stable machine regardless of which stress test you use.
I agree with you!
But I never liked overclocking, I prefer the machine to work within the standard. In other words, a cool head.:D
It is summer here, with the ambient temperature of 27 degrees the processor (Akasa AK-967) reaches 63 degrees, using the x264 which is already good enough.

[Boss_man]

Hello Atak love the program! I came accross a VC1 Video file from my Blu-ray back up that I would like to convert to MKV or MP4. Is Ripbot compatible with this file? if yes, how can I convert it? THanks

Edit: I demux it to MKV and tried to load it and got this error message: "DirectShowSource : Timeout waiting for graph to start.

Did a DirectX update, reinstalled ffdshow and MatroskaSplitter and the error is gone



Thanks for NON answers to my previous question ! :D
I wonder if much point to post here ...
However, I will try again once more :
- to accelerate the encoding process , if fps increase from 2000 to 6000 or even to 8000, does it counts?
or will only influence the image quality ??

PS : to encode I'm using only Ripbot264 ;)

[Boss_man]

Nice, thanks for the response. I'm using Win 7 64bit and think Direct x is up to date. What directory should I install MatroskaSplitter? Sorry for the newb question

[Atak_Snajpera]

@Mr. Monte
use inverse telecine

@Boss_man
1) uninstall everything (avisynth,ffdshow,haali media splitter)
2) reboot
3) install everything again

Also if you have windows xp you must also install this Windows Media Player 11!

[8ternity]

Atak,

Just to let u know i found the part of the trouble of "Please Wait Gathering Informations" freezing when importation are 100%.

I have purchass an Windows 7 professional edition 64bit, and i was having that trouble. I have seen that if i install theses softwares in that order, the gathering information has been resolved.

I need to install in that order:

1. Avisynth 2.5.8
2. Haali Matroska Splitter
3. FFdshow CLSID
4. Install ripbot
5. Configure ffdshow video setting: VC1 to WMV9.

If i dont follow that order, i have issue of gathering informations and also for VC1 are not empty and already set to WMV9 have a value instead of disable.

I also purchass my windows 7 64bit professional and also an CPU cooling kit *Corsair H50 Liquid coolling for my Phenom II X4 940 processors, wich with ripbot i see big difference in tempeture conversions. The cost is very affordable and pretty an good value instead of an zalman fan. I will give you feedback later for tempeture difference. i have compare before and after the upgrade.

:-))

EDIT:
Before Corsair H50 Liquid Cooling CPU; ripbot264 x264_64.exe ; tempeture between 62 to 65 degres celcious;
After Corsair H50 Liquid Colling CPU; ripbot264 x264_64.exe ; tempeture are 44 to 48 degres celcious;
1 pass: 21 to 22.xxx FPS on a 1080P movie;

Here an capture screen:

I have not always been a big overclocker, but the i7-920 is so easy to OC. Going from 2.6ghz to 4.0ghz for free gains you 30% less time on encodes. That makes it worth it to me.

1980 huh, I've never seen anything in 1980 resolution =P
make sure:
-x64 option is enabled in ripbot.ini
-you have a recent FFDshow icl10
-you have the latest ripbot
-low priority is not on
on a side note..that seems like A LOT of frames. an average movie is 150k - 200k
is it like 50hrs long or something? lol

Wow! You seem wrapped up a little tight. I was only making the point that you asked if 34 hours was a reasonable encode time, but did not provide any specifics other 1080p to 720p conversion. There are many factors that can determine encode time other than resolution. I am only trying to help and calling me an "idiot" for doing so is just wrong. Best of luck....

[Mr. Monte]

Thank you sir, will try that :thanks:

I started reading this thread, then stopped at about page 10...simply too much content.

I currently use MakeMKV to rip blu ray's to my HD with AnyDVD HD running in the background. MakeMKV is no longer free, and I don't want to purchase it along with my AnyDVD HD subscription, so I was wondering if Ripbot can rip the blu ray disk to a mkv file? I tried selecting my Blu Ray movie as the source; however, I keep having to drill down to find a specific file, and no idea what ot do then. I want to keep my 5.1 / 7.1 settings if possible, and TrueHD audio if able, but not as important. Mainly want to keep 5.1 audio. If it's been posted somewhere, please send me that way.

MakeMKV does not encode, Ripbot does. If you don't want to encode and want to keep the original HD Audio track use Another eac3to GUI or use Clown_BD + MKVMerge. If you want to encode, Ripbot will do the job

[Atak_Snajpera]

I need to install in that order:

1. Avisynth 2.5.8
2. Haali Matroska Splitter
3. FFdshow CLSID
4. Install ripbot
5. Configure ffdshow video setting: VC1 to WMV9.

I uninstalled everything on Win 7 x64 and did reboot.
Then I installed required components in this order:
1) FFdshow CLSID
2) Haali Matroska Splitter
3) Avisynth 2.5.8

And VC-1 decoding works as well! Frankly I doubt than order matters.

[Achilleus]

Any plan to allow for multiple audio tracks? I often want second language and often want two forms of primary language (one for digital and one down mixed to stereo).

Sorry, I'm behind on the terminology and do not know what encoding does / is.

I currently make a mkv with makemkv with 5.1 audio, all works well and has 5.1. I compress it with rip bot next, it keeps the 5.1, all works well. I am just looking to cut out makemkv as it now costs money. I am cpu literate, but sort of lost on the whole blu ray conversion / compression deal.

I thought MakeMKV was still in beta and therefore free? Anyways, encoding is the process of re-compressing the movie. It is extremely CPU intensive and can attribute to a loss of visual quality (subjective). Depending on your CPU you could easily spend 6-12 hours encoding a movie.

If you want to do what MakeMKV does you will need to grab a copy of AnyDVD HD (to circumvent the DRM) and as dbone1026 suggested a copy of "Another eac3to GUI". I will tell you that AnyDVD HD is a bit pricey and MakeMKV may be cheaper (unless of course you already own AnyDVD).

[dzirkelb]

I own anydvd hd currently, so that's np.

MakeMKV says I only have 2 days left on my trial or around there, so getting ahead of the game here.

What other programs will do what makemkv does? I'd like to keep it a mkv format as I have everything finally working the way I like in media center.

And yes, ripbot takes around 4-6 hours to do it's thing on a quad core 3.4ghz amd phenon cpu with 8gig of ram, but I'm ok with that :)

[soneca]

Balthazar,

I have read several reviews about the i7-980X and even has an amazing performance, above average with the x264. Be the next, without overclocking, of course!:D

But let's hope the price down a bit ...:eek:

If you read on the MakeMKV forurm you will see that the software is designed to timeout. All you need to do is download the latest version and install it over your existing and the clock will be reset. For whatever reason, this is how the designers have decided to control the free beta.

As for software like MakeMKV, see the suggestions that dbone1026 has above.

Yeah, I am very tempted to buy it, but $1000 for faster encodes is tough to swallow. I may wait to see if Intel releases something in the $500 range first.

They were going to start charging a $50 lifetime fee, not sure if it has kicked in yet.

Also, DVDFab has a new product called DVDFab PassKey which is supposed to be the equivalent of AnyDVD (runs in background and does on the fly decryption). It is also free, so you could use that along with RipBot264. I have never tested DVDFab Pqasskey though so cannot comment on how reliable it is.

[laoping]

One option that I would really love is the ability to select rip DTS core in RipBot. I know it will use the DTS core if the decoder fails, so I know it can do it. I also know Ripbot uses TsMuxer which can extract DTS to a Wav File. Anyway, just thought it would be nice be able to select that. I don't have a receiver that does DTS-HD.


Thanks

I uninstalled everything on Win 7 x64 and did reboot.
Then I installed required components in this order:
1) FFdshow CLSID
2) Haali Matroska Splitter
3) Avisynth 2.5.8

And VC-1 decoding works as well! Frankly I doubt than order matters.

I did as directed and everything worked... Thanks Atak!

[benjyv]

1. If I increase fps the result will be in what ???
( before starting encoding process I have the possibility to set fps to 2000 . or to 6000 , a.s.o.)
- how will materialize the result of this setting?

2. using Ripbot264 , can I attach subtitles ??
Searching the possibility of attaching subtitles I found just the option of build it in image (hardsub) and no inbuilt , that is the possibility to show or to hide these subtitles over the image.

3. To increase the image quality of an encoded movie ,what parameters should I modify , I mean before starting encoding process , what settings are necessary ???

[Atak_Snajpera]

Thanks for your silence ,this explain much ,and do not bother to answer me from now on....
I'll give up both to your soft and this site...It's waste of time

[soneca]

Dude,

Sorry for my English, which is a shit ...

You want everything at hand, have to search a little to have a better sense of how things work.

I know the author of the program(note10) is a little impatient, and occasionally takes a few kicks in the people here...:mad: but you're being more aggressive yet! Relax!

I do not speak English is not my language, then it becomes much harder for me than for you to communicate here!:devil:

If I increase fps the result will be in what ???
You can not increase any fps(do not confuse frames per second with bitrate) because it depends on your configuration and especially the power of your processor.

using Ripbot264 , can I attach subtitles ??
Look more closely to find!

To increase the image quality of an encoded movie ,what parameters should I modify , I mean before starting encoding process , what settings are necessary ???

To be very simple, almost anything with the good script of RipBot!:)

Normally I do not use the CQ mode, I prefer to control the bitrate and size depending on the source.

I can tell you that anything above(also below) 4000kbps for videos in 720 is great and up to 6000Kbps videos to 1080 is great too.

The efficiency of the x264 is amazing!:)

I'm sorry if I spoke a lot of junk or not express myself very well.

( before starting encoding process I have the possibility to set fps to 2000 . or to 6000 , a.s.o.)

as soneca said you appear to mean the kpbs not fps. if you change the fps all you'll do is make the video play faster or slower ergo fuckin up your audio sync =)

2. using Ripbot264 , can I attach subtitles ??
Searching the possibility of attaching subtitles I found just the option of build it in image (hardsub) and no inbuilt , that is the possibility to show or to hide these subtitles over the image.
from the main encoding settings screen you can click the "Selectable Subtitles [...]" on the bottom right, above your output path / filename. this will mux in subtitles and allow them to be turned on / off. in picture properties (properties button to the right of the bitrate or cq value) you can set permanent subtitles which will actually make the subtitles part of the video. I use this often for forced subs, as I don't see much of a reason to want to turn them off.

3. To increase the image quality of an encoded movie ,what parameters should I modify , I mean before starting encoding process , what settings are necessary ???
as a generalization, higher bitrate or lower CQ # = better quality. for the average 1080p movie I'd suggest staying somewhere close to 10000kbps

Hi i have been using Ripbot for a long time now and love it but recently have been have a few problems.

I just got an Popcorn Hour A-200 and wanted to start converting my blu-rays to 1080p and not 720p.

the last 2 i have done have had 1 part in the movie where it stutters (both on PC and Popcorn hour) so i did the movie again in 720p and the stuttering problem is gone.

I am still using Ripbot 1.15.0 and don't change any of the settings

Any ideas

thanks

edit- i should add that when i did this movie right from the blu-ray and converted it ti ac3(with ripbot) ,the movie ended up being 12 hours long and the audio was all screwed up so i had to add the audio manually and used mkvmerge 3.3.

I dont know if it's my windows language version "french" cause some issues. But with that order, it works. If not, im stuck to gathering informations.

[Achilleus]

If I could rephrase my question:
What is the best/easiest way for a relative n00b to get multiple audio tracks?
I would like, when French audio is available on the original BD, to have that as well as English as my kids are studying French.

I am getting everything I want from ripbot264 except the ability to include two or three audio tracks.

As a secondary interest I would like to include both best possible quality 5.1 and a downmixed stereo of the English track as well (for playback from my server on one of my TVs without digital capable receiver).

I realize some experts here see some of the n00b questions as repetitive. I am sorry of that is the case. I have tried to search but would like some ideas as to the simplest method. It seems many of the GUI based programs that do not encode video allow this but I am recoding BD with ripbot264 to bring 20 and 30 gb files down to 5 to 10 GB in size for my server.

Thank you in advance.

Bug in version 1.15.1 : it's telling me ffdshow is not installed, while I have the latest version of ffdshow 32 bit installed and working, rebooted a few times, did uninstall and reinstall, still the same bug, I'm using seven 64 bit OS, switching back to 1.15.0

If you want to encode take a look at Handbrake, which will allow for multiple audio tracks.

If you don't want to encode there are a variety of available software out there. My preferred method is to use Clown_BD (grab main movie, hd audio track, and AC3 (stereo) audio track) and the remux into mkv with MKVMerge.

You can actually use Ripbot to encode the video portion, use a program like Clown_BD or others to grab the audio you want, and then remux together with MKVMerge

Really just depends what you are looking for. Any other questions not specific to Ripbot though I would probably ask on another thread or PM so not to clog up this one.

[Cartman]

Since 1.15.1 sometimes I have Ripbot skipping my AAC-HE audio encoding, e.g. "Whiteout" (BD). There is an AC3 file in my job dir but Ripbot just starts with Pass 1 immediately. But the "job1_EncodeAudio" batch command (i.e. "enc_aacPlus") prints "Input file must be WAV PCM!".

For the moment I am transcoding the AC3 to AAC manually and adding it later via mkvmerge.

What's wrong here?

[soneca]

Is there any way to disable the verification of RipBot the installed version of ffdshow?
With this new versions of ffdshow Subtitle Workshop does not work properly.:o

[Atak_Snajpera]

Hey gents,
kinda weird, I've been using ripbot on a windows 7 x64 machine for a while and so I have another machine that I am trying to use it for. After clean install (OS) and I install everything for ripbot, I seem to get the error below.

Hmmm. So you are using the 32-bit version of FFDSHOW with VC-1 enabled to WMV9 and the Haali Splitter from Nov 09? I am sure you have that correct as you have been previously using RipBot, but I am just checking.

Edit: It sounds like a registry problem. You could try using Preferred Filter Tweaker (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Preferred_Filter_Tweaker) to check what Win7 is up to.

First stream is DTS, second is AC-3

I did but wanted to make sure.

So the disc that worked is MPEG-2 with AC-3 and the one you are having trouble with is DTS and VC-1? Well, I really doubt the audio is the problem unless it is DTS-HD MA or something. As for Tweaker, restarting after a change is recommended, but I am not sure entirely necessary.

[klopsknoedel]

hi,
RipBot264 1.15.1 hangs on "Please Wait... Gathering information" for 1 hour till now and won't go further i think. In previous versions the "please wait"-message pops up for 3sec and the demuxing-progress was finished. But now it hangs!

I've got:
AviSynth 2.5.8
FFDshow 3336 clsid
MatroskaSplitter from 110109

Can someone help please?

[DVDfever.co.uk]

I've only got a figure of 1.33:1, no options for 1.85 or 1.78 which was what confused me. I'm taking an mpg2 file (720*576) which is a vertically-squeezed anamorphic image, and want to make it 16:9 (1024*576) so Ripbot doesn't automatically appear to bring up 1.78:1 as any kind of an option. How do I bring up those options manually, please?

(follow-up request) Does anyone know why, please? The file is essentially 4:3 (as it's anamorphically-squeezed) but what I was after was to be able to make an automatic setting that I can use every time rather than have to manually select 720x576 and then hold down the button to increase the left-hand figure to 1024, which takes ages. Thanks.

I'll try again as I haven't had a response to this. It would be something at least if it was possible to overtype the numbers so I don't have to spend ages holding down the 'up' button. Can proper custom settings be put into a future update, please?

[gr1mmj0w]

Do you have the Arcsoft DTS decoder installed?

I do not, but its weird I never installed it on my other machine and it works fine.

The only thing different is that maybe I have VLC on the other machine. Also, I thought FFDshow had those codecs that were needed. I check the install, seems it has the DTS codecs needed.

I'm searching for Arcsoft DTS decoder, you know of any place I can download it from?

also, this morning I tried to do the encode with NO AUDIO and still got the same message :/

[prettyboy85712]

Hey gents,
kinda weird, I've been using ripbot on a windows 7 x64 machine for a while and so I have another machine that I am trying to use it for. After clean install (OS) and I install everything for ripbot, I seem to get the error below.



It's weird since 1 bluray it worked and another it didn't. :/

any ideas? I read the forum ad made sure ffdshow was used for VC-1.

Update your DirectX.

hi,
RipBot264 1.15.1 hangs on "Please Wait... Gathering information" for 1 hour till now and won't go further i think. In previous versions the "please wait"-message pops up for 3sec and the demuxing-progress was finished. But now it hangs!

I've got:
AviSynth 2.5.8
FFDshow 3336 clsid
MatroskaSplitter from 110109

Can someone help please?

mine did that after an ffdshow install, so I'd recommend starting there. full uninstall and new install. also make sure you trash your ripbot temp folder

I downloaded 1.15.0 and tested "Whiteout" again: It works! No skipping of audio transcoding! I used the very same job as before with 1.15.1. What's wrong here?

[Atak_Snajpera]

How am I supposed to know? It works ok on my PC.

[Cartman]

Did you check my avs and log that I posted before? Any clues?

EDIT: I replaced the 1.15.1 executable with older 1.15.0, keeping your newest collection of the tools. It works. The prob seems not to originate from the tools.

Did you talk about DTS audio out of sync?

I've got that issue with the version 1.15.1 that with the version 1.15.0 i have no issue.

[Cartman]

No, not out of sync, but skipping audio transcoding (AC3 -> AAC-HE) totally (in some cases). problem never occurred with 1.15.0 or older ever. I just replaced 1.15.1 main executable with 1.15.0, now problems are gone.

[Atak_Snajpera]

compare all job files from 1.15.0 and 1.15.1. what happens if just click encodeaudio.cmd from job folder

[Balthazar2k4]

Ok, so I finally got around to trying out 1.15.1 and the very first test encode I did with it gave me this:

Now this is the kind of error I would see if I used an unpatched x264.exe, but this is the one packaged in 1.15.1. Am I missing something? I don't see anyone else with this problem.

UPDATE: So I rolled back to the x264 that came with 1.15.0 and it worked without issue. How can I be the only one with this problem? It appears to be an issue with the NAL-HRD patch.

[soneca]

Seems to be missing an argument (vbr) in profile RipBot to work correctly with the new version of x264.

[Balthazar2k4]

Thanks Soneca. I just figured that out for myself. I have no idea why it was missing, but it is corrected and working now. BTW, I tried out the Arcsoft files in the Tools/ax directory and they work for DTS-HD MA.

I try this and it didn't work. I decided to ghost my machine back to fresh install and try this. Still no go, I got ahold of 1.50.0

I'm going to try that and update.

I replaced the 1.15.0 exe with 1.15.1, using the old job. Again it's skipping audio transcoding. The 1.15.1 did not change any files inside the job directory as the "last change date" is from yesterday for every file. So the very same job seems to work with 1.15.0 but not with 1.15.1. Tools excluded, job temporary files excluded, seems to be the main exe?

"Whiteout" encoded over night successfully with 1.15.0. It's watchable, in sync and everything.

What did you do to enable these files to the RipBot recognizes the DTS-HD MA?
Indeed Arcsoft is only useful for conversions DTS-HD MA> AC-3.
If I have two options keep AC-3 ...
If you only have DTS MA then extract the core using eac3to to avoid conversions.

Copy the files in the "Arcsoft DTS Decoder" directory into your System32 or SysWOW64 (if you are using x64 OS) directory and from an Administrator command prompt type:

regsvr32 c:\Windows\SysWOW64\asaudiohd.ax

That should do it.

I can tell you that changing subme to 9 is more of a psychological improvement than a visual one. It will add to your encode time and I would be hard pressed to believe you will see the difference. Stick with 7. Just my opinion.

[soneca]

That's what I was thinking. It should work directly with eg: regsvr32 C: \ RipBot264 v1.15.1 \ Tools \ ArcSoft DTS Decoder \ ASAudiohd.ax...

7. RD on all frames
8. RD refinement on I- and P-Frames
9. RD refinement on all frames (Slowest, best quality)

I'll do some tests to see if there really are differences (visual) to compensate for this extra time.

I was reading that b-Adapter 2 (optimal) can handle much better scenes with fades. Again, only testing to make sure.

Thanks Balthazar!

Glad to help! As for the b-adapt = 2. In most cases there are trade-offs with improving fades (other than encode time). Typically something else in the picture suffers for it.

Hi Atak_Snajpera.

Thanks again for this useful tool!

I'm here to ask you if is it known to be any problem when compressing and deinterlacing from 25i to 50p.

I have had randomly two incorrect outputs when compressing a TS consisting in a 25 fps 1440x1080i MPEG2 video track. The encoding was done adjusting deinterlace in TFF-->50 fps which worked well other times, but this time the 50 progressive fps output is playing as if it was 25p, I mean, there's no smooth playing of 50p, I'm sure it's not ok because I have encoded deinterlacing so many times interlaced content that my eyes know how is the result. As you should think, I deinterlace 25i to 50p so that I don't lose any of the A-B fields and the output keeps the smooth when playing as it is in reallity a 50 refresh rate interlaced video.

In fact, I compressed this ts yesterday doing that deinterlace method facing the issue for the first time, but after retrying taking a trim splitted with videoredo instead of the original source of the video and closing and reopening ripbot to delete the temp files, the output was a perfect and smooth 50 progressive track.

I did several compressions again with the sample so that I may face and identify the cause, selecting other resizes but the problem did not arise anymore. I don't know if any of the bold circumstances has anything to do. I have to say too that I was using ripbot 1.14.5, I'm going to update now.

I have just realised now that there's another variable, maybe stupid, it is the extension: when facing the problem is .ts but when I did trim and take just a sample of 15 secs with videoredo it named it as .mpg. I will repeat setting and .mpg extension to the original video...

So I'm here because today I came and repeated the encoding again from the original source (not the trim sample) and I get this reported 50p output which is not really playing smooth as it should, facing the issue again.

This is the source from which results not correct 50p frame rate

The time difference was significant ...

First encoder> 04:11
Second encoder (profile changed)> 04:51

Playing not noticed differences and comparing frame by frame are so small they can not justify the extra time spent at the encoder.

Two screenshots with the top encoded using the default settings and lower with the profile changed.

Not to sound like a d*ck but...you KNOW the error message. I figured AVS line 2 was sufficient...

In any event, the problem was the stupid whitelisting on ffdshow that decided to, for whatever reason, turn itself back on.

uploading now, .ts test file is about 250 mb in 50 mb parts, did you mean that?

in the meantime, I did one more enconding, same parameters but with two diferent variables: ripbot 1.15.1/ffdshow rev3342 instead of 1.14.5 and ffdshow 3119, and source file renamed from .ts to .mpg.

result is satisfactory, deinterlaced from 1080i@25 to 50p fps correctly playing. At first sight I would say it's one of these two things, I bet for file extension? Sounds stupid but easy to solve, but it would mean if source is .ts extension when deinterlacing it discards one field of every source interlaced frame, instead of putting every field in one progressive frame... Lets wait your test and some more encoding

I figured the difference would be pretty hard to spot. If you blew the image up on a 100" screen you might see it, but most of us don't have that luxury. When I moved up from a 50" to 65" plasma I started seeing the encoding differences much easier, but nothing that would cause me to re-rip my collection. The default 4.0 Profile that Atak uses is pretty good (especially at CQ18).

BTW, are those screen grabs in JPG? If so, that in itself degrades quality and makes looking for subtle differences even more difficult.

I prefer to control the bitrate according to the type of movie, so I always use 2 passes.
I also use the standard profile 4.0 with minimal changes.

These above are in jpeg but the originals are in png and still very difficult to distinguish any difference between frames.

And almost all resized to 720.
After many tests I noticed that most do not lose virtually nothing after resized.;)

Agreed, but when taking into account that you are trying to spot a difference between b-adapt 1 & 2 and subme 7 & 9, the least molestation to the images the better. The real fact is that if you have work that hard to spot the difference than it probably isn't worth it.

I will say that changing your source to computer animation (i.e. Toy Story, A Bug's Life, etc.) the differences between those settings might become more obvious.

Hi Atak,

I've got an question.

Did avchd 24fps and 23.976 is the samething? i have an mkv movie are in 24fps with dts audio track, i've reset to 23.976 with dts audio track but the audio is out of sync when conversion is done.

Did bluray NTSC player read only 23.976, 29,97 fps and 24fps is the same has 23.976fps and bluray players will read it?

Thanks.

Audio MUST be re-encoded in order to change audio speed! Do not select Copy Audio Stream. BTW. 24fps is also supported by players so I wouldn't change fps.

Hi Atak

Its been awhile since I've done an HD DVD but I had done a few over last couple days and one thing I noticed is RB doesnt show subtitles on the demux screen. I checked the title.txt file (think thats the one) and subtitles are listed. At this time I havent dug into issue any deeper but am currently using v15.0 and havent tried 15.1 or an earlier to release to see if that field populates.

Just wanted to bring this to your attention.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Use latest version and show me demuxlog.txt
if you have problems with 1.15.1 use this http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1387495#post1387495

THanks Atak!

[Atak_Snajpera]

You will loss audio-sync. Video will be 23.976 but audio will be still 24fps!

Is there an way to reconvert and keep DTS ?
No. Good advice from me. DON'T CHANGE FRAME RATE because 24fps is also correct!

[8ternity]

No. Good advice from me. DON'T CHANGE FRAME RATE because 24fps is also correct!

I followed your advice, it's what i've done. Im just reconverting the movie because addborders need to be added. I keep audio and frame rate.

:thanks::thanks:

[pacaveli211]

yeah, always leave the framerate alone, unless you have to drop a 25fps to 23.976, then you can/will have to fix the audio with eac3to
my bluray player will play 23.967, 24, 25, 29.97, 30 .... and maybe more
also, 24p is more true to the source as in it was what the movie was originally shot in

hi, just a quick question about halli. when haali released his first 64bit compatible official release, ripbot had issues with it and you had on the first page, a link to an older version (32bit only) haali build. Since then, haali has released a newer official build and your original post no longer has that error info. does that mean that ripbot now works correctly with the new haali builds? (i don't have a blu-ray right now to compress to test it out, also i'm updating my media tools so i though i'd ask)

[weaver4]

I am running win7, professional, 64 bit.

When I start Ripbot264 it says that ffdshow is not installed. I have rev 3299 installed. I tried both the 32bit and 64bit version of ffdshow with the same result.

[soneca]

The RipBot require a revision of ffdshow equal to or above the 33XX.

you can prob just remux that with mkvmerge and change the AR flag

(Apologies for not using the correct terminology) When I use Ripbot264 it is changing the speaker tracks. All of my Blu Ray converts have the main speaker channel as the left rear.

The movie is 2hr40min but came out to be only 4GB? Doesn't that seem a little small? The video bandwidth seems a little low too.

Reason:
active size (without black borders) is in fact only 1280x544 (696320 pixels per frame)
BTW. how many times I have to repeat that you should always judge quality not size!

@Lighto
Your sample contains 4 channel ac3 audio. That's the problem.

Finally I got ripbot264 to work after alot of reboots and x246_x86.exe errors. It turned out that my system was not stable enough since my I7 is overclocked to about 3.8. Now its running fast and stable with no errors.

Now that i got that out of the way i have a question for Atak. Why is it when i use Consant Bitrate and a CRF of 18, I do not get a filesize bigger than 8GB? I thought if you used 18 you would get the best quality encode with a larger file size? I've encoded 3 movies and the smallest was 6.5GB (PiXar movie) and New Moon which is only coming out to about 7GB. It doesn't seem right considering that its over a 2.5 hour long movie and its only getting a bitrate of 8450-9000kbps.

Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Constant quality not Consant Bitrate for god sake! Now ask yourself why some files on your harddrive are easier to compress by winrar,winzip than others? Let's say .txt/.doc/.html vs .mp3 ... .... That's your homework...

[theshadow12345]

Ok. I understand. One question. What's the main difference between a 2 pass 1080P 10-15GB mkv file and a 1080p cq, -18, mkv with a lower bitrate as far as PQ is concerned? I encoded the same movie using both methods and i didn't see any difference. Other than waiting longer for the 2 pass encode I just don't see a point in going 2 pass unless you want to store into a media cd,DVD,Etc with a high bitrate. Which I think is just a waste of time because your getting the same or maybe better PQ quality and smaller file size than the 2 pass. .

Thanks

HD DVD Subtitles follow up.

Atak, I pulled down 15.1 and got the avs error other folks mentioned, so I grabbed your link to the ripbot.exe dated 4/1 and got around the avs error. Below is the demuxlog.txt file you requested. Since I had several versions of ripbot sitting on my drive, I tried versions 11.5 and 13.3 and both of those versions allowed me to select a subtitle file. Versions 14.x and greater did not give me any option to select a subtitle. I will be sending you a pm shortly with the 100MB sample. Let me know if you require any additional information. Thx

I cant find the settings in regards to re-encoding or copy stream. Also, it is getting stuck at the end of the process and says "muxing" at the bottom. I have to abort the process.

[NiteShdw]

I have a question about fast first pass mode. I have it turned on in the INI file, but when the cmd files are generated, the command line in EncodeVideoPass1.cmd and EncodeVideoPass2.cmd are exactly the same.

Both the files are using these encoding parameters:
--ref 3 --bframes 3 --b-adapt 1 --b-pyramid none --subme 7 --aq-mode 1 --trellis 1 --partitions all --me umh

Doing some research it looks like a turbo first pass should look more like this:
--ref 1 --b-adapt 0 --b-pyramid none --subme 2 --trellis 0 --partitions none --me dia

if you dont see a difference, then use the faster method. X_X

[7ekno]

Which I think is just a waste of time because your getting the same or maybe better PQ quality and smaller file size than the 2 pass. .
'

Ding Ding Ding, welcome to the world of CRF encoding :P

The reason for the reduction is 2 fold, first is the drop in pixel count per frame, next is the pure efficiency of the x264 encoder (the BD will be forced to only 3 B-frames and an I-frame at least every second - x264 improves on these areas significantly, ie why use an I-frame when all your predictors tell you that a 10x smaller B-frame could be used?!?)

[pacaveli211]

I have a question about fast first pass mode. I have it turned on in the INI file, but when the cmd files are generated, the command line in EncodeVideoPass1.cmd and EncodeVideoPass2.cmd are exactly the same.

because all of those parameters are consistent through both passes. the 2pass is to allow for a higher quality encode while hitting a target bitrate / size. (correct me if I'm wrong here) but the first pass is to do a quick process/test run of things. the second pass is the actual encode where it uses data from the first pass to achieve proper quality via knowing when higher bitrate is needed and via comparison to first pass results

[soneca]

Hi Atak,

When I leave two jobs in the queue to encode in CQ, and return to check the data then the first job from the queue appears changed, as if it was configured for 2-pass.

on the main "encoding settings" screen on the right side. under the audio path will list that option. there is no right or wrong option. it's your preference as to whether you want to preserve the original track (x.x copy stream) or re-encode it into a different format such as AAC or AC3

[archaeo]

Trying the program out for first time, and when attempting to load an m2ts file, I get the error:

cannot create file X:\bluray\hurtlocker\hurt_locker_NA\BDMV\STREAM\:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\bluray_structure_getinfo.cmd".\xxx" the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect


not sure what is wrong here, it seems path name is OK, no special characters or such :confused:

edit: probably related but I can't open the selected m2ts with MPC, as I was able to with the previous version of ffdshow I had installed (3133). Something with the codecs in moving up to 33xx seems to have affected that, too.

[mmmmdonut]

Thanks! I was converting to .mp4 and did not have the Copy Stream option. I am see that option in AVCHD and am going to try to convert a movie using those settings. So far everything looks beautiful, just need to get the soundtrack right.

mp4 container can only hold AAC audio.

@archaeo why is there just a : before temp? If you modified the ini file make sure your paths are correct.

[rocket71]

Ok, when I utilized the AVCHD setting and Copy Stream option all the audio channels are in the correct place. What is wrong with my settings that when I do a .mp4 file the audio channels are all switched up? (ie..center channel in left rear). I want to utilize the .mp4 or .mkv containers instead of AVCHD but I want the audio correct. I appreciate everyones help so far. Thanks, B

[mmmmdonut]

Cant say I've had my channels out of order ( I use mp4 container all time) so not sure whats going on with your setup/encode. I assume your receiver is configured properly, ie you've done a pink noise test on each channel? Also is your test file a standard 6 channel video or you working with something that has like 3 or 4 channel audio?

[Atak_Snajpera]

@archaeo
do you have similar problem with avi, mkv , mp4 ?

@rocket71
What kind of source do you have? mp4, mkv, vob ,....
When you convert file to mp4 do you select 2.0 AAC audio or 5.1 AAC?
You must send me untouched source. Otherwise I won't be able to help.

@archaeo

At work now, will check later today when I return...

[archaeo]

OK, I caught a few minutes at lunch...

So, with an mkv file:
When I click the add button and go to browse for an .mkv file, and select - I don't get anything - no error message, no file loaded. The program doesn't appear to be loading the files in either case. I just get an error when trying to load the m2ts.

I also tried another m2ts file (small, < 300Mb), and this time I got the same error message as before, but it did go into the 'select streams' window, but while there it was stuck on "please wait, analyzing..." for at least five minutes before I closed it. It never loaded that file either.

Hi Everyone

2 things

#1 - There seems to be a bug with RipBot when converting multiple movies/episodes to CQ 18 and setting the output video size to 720p. The first file works perfectly but the 2nd one in line sends the bitrate through the roof, resulting in a flickering green coloured video.

#2 - I often made the mistake of forgetting to permanently burn the non-english speaking subtitles into the frames when converting some of my movies. Is there any way to quickly merge these external subtitle files with the video permanently without running through a full re-encode? Almost like a CQ 0 (Zero), so don't touch the frame, just merge the subtitle track where required.

Thanks

You can mux them using mmg.exe (I assume that you are encoding to mkv)

The source is .m2ts. When I convert it to .mp4 I am using 5.1 CT AAC-LC 256.

Here is an another attempt at splitting up a file for you to look at...I put the original in DGSplit and selected one of the 100mb segments to upload. I see it has a _13 after the file extension. I don't know how else to split it if this isn't correct. If this still isn't correct, can you point me in the direction on how to use dgsplit correctly to get you the file upload.

Also, I checked my surround setup as someone suggested and it is correct. It is only my ripbot bluray converts that are doing this. Thanks, B

This is just an example:) The same with bitrate. You can enter whatever you want. For me everything below 18 smells like placebo.

[soneca]

I've done some tests and depending on the video, I thought there was a significant improvement in the details, especially in some scenes (more closely), those most difficult to encode.:)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Do you always watch movies frame by frame with your nose in front of display? If I was so obsessed with quality I wouldn't re-encode at all.

Clearly something is wrong though, I get strong output on the left rear channel with every encode except AVCHD. AVCHD sounds awesome but not MP4. I do not think my surround system is at fault because BluRay, DVD, and everythign else works fine.

I have fired up an older computer and did a fresh install of Ripbot and all the needed programs to see if I can get a good encode from it. If that works then I know it is my settings on my primary computer. It should be done tonight some time.

@Atak: Feature Request:

In the 'Stream demuxing window' would it be possible for you to not have it automatically load the details for the first item in the list? If I want to select a different item, I have to sit through the first one loading, then select the second and wait for it to load.

I have been using ripbot to convert HDDVD and BD to WTV files. I find it very useful, thank you for sharing.

I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option for WTV as the output file. It would be a simple matter of building the proper command line call to DVRMSToolbox and executing after the encoding stage. It would save an additional step to the conversion process.

What do you think?

I've uninstalled and reinstalled ffdshow a number of times, and using different versions. I haven't reinstalled Haali at this point.

Atak_Snajpera, I need to give you my apologies. You were right. I could not figure out what was wrong but after I did an encode with a different computer and got the same results I started thinking about what else it could be. I google just about every aspect of my setup in regards to what would cause improper channels. From my Zotac Motherboard to my Onkyo receiver and could not find anyone having the same issue till I finally googled "XBMC wrong channels". Bingo! The 9.11 Camelot release of XBox Media Center was the culprit. I did an updated to one of their more recent builds and it works beautifully now. Thanks for all your help.

One more question... :) When I do a conversion of a file it gets to the end and says ...muxing at the bottom and never stops muxing. I have to abort the process. Even though I abort it though everything works great. The only real issue with this situation is I can not do more than one Job because of the need to abort once it gets to this muxing stage. Thoughts?

How does one set/change the speed/quality presets in x264:
ultrafast, superfast, veryfast, faster, fast, medium, slow, slower, veryslow and placebo.

Also, to enable CRF, is this done in the hidden settings in the .ini file?

[NiteShdw]

I'm having a really weird issue. When the demuxing process ends (I'm not certain if it's actually gotten to 100% or not), Ripbot264 is deleting the resulting video.mkv, audio, and subtitle files. Basically, everything that's getting demuxed is getting deleted and then Ripbot is reporting a DirectShowSource error because the video file is missing.

EDIT: It appears to be a read error on the disc. It would be nice if Ripbot would parse the demux log and report the error.

[8ternity]

Atak,

I have submit already that suggestion but i repost again if you add this feature.

In The time delay, can we have an empty box and so we can enter our custom audio delay

ex: 3300 or 3350 etc. Now its only up and down values only.

:thanks:

[archaeo]

I'll rephrase my question, for anyone who may know the answer:

Can one change the x264 speed/quality preset in ripbot? How?
I believe the default is 'medium'

[Atak_Snajpera]

Does this look like medium preset?
--level 4.0 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --vbv-bufsize 25000 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --filter 0,0 --ref 3 --bframes 3 --b-adapt 1 --b-pyramid none --subme 7 --aq-mode 1 --trellis 1 --partitions all --me umh

You can increase/decrease those values in gui so don't ask for presets.

For those of us with not-quite-up-to-date systems, encodes can take around 12 hours to finish, which means that if I set it running as soon as I get home from work, and it's not a video that takes especially long to encode, it'll be ready by the time I have to head off for work next day. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes longer, or I get home later, and the encode isn't complete. In these cases, my only two options are either abort the whole thing, or wait for it to finish and get to work late. I'd love to have the option to pause it, then have it pick up where it left off next time I start it. Is this something that can be implemented?

When you select a subtitle, just below it you choose the language, then click + add another subtitle, wait for it to load then choose the language again

you have to
add each subtitle ,wait for it to load, then choose the language for each one. Then click ok.

I've asked for a pause option previously, I think it would be a nice feature. however, I don't understand your problem. why must you wait for the encode to finish? about the only thing I can think of is you want to shut down your pc....and ripbot has a shutdown option.

Have you heard about Hibernate function in Windows? Do you have to use 2-pass mode?
errrr, seriously, hibernate is your answer for a pause? I doubt that would/will work. and I know it won't for the reasons I'd like having it (just to free up resources for a period). I was encoding once when the power went out. it was out long enough that my UPS wasn't going to last so I set the pc to sleep. later upon power coming back on and starting the pc back up ripbot just acted confused about what it had been doing. didn't seem it was able to just resume

@Zorro70

Thanks for your answer !!! I've done as you said but whatever I do, the software takes only the first language and attached it instead of others....
the settings are very simple ,so I cannot make mistakes.....
I'm very glad that it converts .sup files , directly to srt ,or kind of....( I said "kind of" because afterwards these subtitles cannot be separated from the film that have been applied )
Should I use srt files instead of sup ones , so that Ripbot take separatelly as different languages ???

...some opinions ??

I'm able to select the streams to be demuxed, and RipBot264 performs the demuxing. At this point, RipBot264 displays a message on the screen, "Please Wait...Gathering Information" which nevers goes away, and the only screen option available is "Abort." I've uninstalled and reinstalled RipBot264 and the associated programs that need to be installed with RipBot264.

Have you heard about Hibernate function in Windows? Do you have to use 2-pass mode?

I'm using CQ 22, not 2-pass. And I was under the impression that RipBot wouldn't play nice with hibernate, although I can't really say why.

I've asked for a pause option previously, I think it would be a nice feature. however, I don't understand your problem. why must you wait for the encode to finish? about the only thing I can think of is you want to shut down your pc....and ripbot has a shutdown option.

Oh, I neglected to mention... I only have the one laptop, and I don't want to travel with it turned on. So I'd have to wait for it to finish, turn it off (or let it shut down through RipBot), and then pack it to take to work.

errrr, seriously, hibernate is your answer for a pause? I doubt that would/will work. and I know it won't for the reasons I'd like having it (just to free up resources for a period). I was encoding once when the power went out. it was out long enough that my UPS wasn't going to last so I set the pc to sleep. later upon power coming back on and starting the pc back up ripbot just acted confused about what it had been doing. didn't seem it was able to just resume

Hibernate and suspend to ram works perfectly with Ripbot.

Remicade, you say this from experience? If so, any idea why it would work for you and not paceveli211?

try removing first and then reinstalling your ffdshow, possibly install an older version/build, make sure your ripbot temp dir is cleared out too
also you should tell us which version of windows, not just "Windows Professional 64-bit" which could mean xp/vista/7 =P

So, it appears that the version contained in the referenced link is a fix, but it is also not the latest version... so I assume that I use this version until ?? Will there be an update that contains the same fix?

The Windows version is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (sorry, I forgot to include the 7). I have tried older versions of ffdshow; I will keep trying, working with the newest to oldest versions to see if one ffdshow version might work. I always clear the ripbot temp dir.

hi, Atak.

Is it possible to have an installer for RipBot? I am using a server which doesn't have the Admin privileges to run portable .exe files and the server admin is willing to install the program if there's an executable file. Is it easy to make one?

EDIT: Would iexpress.exe do it? I don't know how to add the folders :\

EDIT 2: Nevermind, I made an installer myself it was so easy. :D

yeah, I know when I had the same issue it was cuz of an ffdshow issue. yours might be something else though =\
just make sure you do a full uninstall prior to installing any of the other versions I'm currently running icl10 3305 on win7x64

[dvgeek]

Rather than install DirectX 9 he could not simply extract the d3dx9_30.dll from the DirectX 9 package?...

I did that - tried with both the 64 and 32 bit dll's in the windows\system32 folder.

Did some digging - I get the error serving an mpeg2 video - vanilla avs file (video.d2v) - to X264. Once I click ok though, x264 starts the encode. Because of this I can't run any batch jobs as I have to manually click the ok button before x264 starts encoding every time.

Puzzled -(

UPDATE: Figured it out - the 64bit dll goes into the SysWOW64 directory. Now everything works!!!

[soneca]

That's it.:cool:
32 bit > windows\system32
64 bir > windows\sysWOW64

[MKVCrazy]

It requires Admin privileges to run everytime? I don't have the Administrator access but the it's installed on the computer. How do I disable it to ask me for Admin password every time I run it in a user mode ??

@MKVCrazy

[soneca]

You're right!

I changed everything.:o

SysWOW64 folder are the 32bit dll's ... Windows 7 64-bit does this to maintain compatibility with 32-bit programs.
When a program runs 32-bit and requires a DLL from the old system32 directory, it directs to the SysWOW64.
I do not understand this logic from Microsoft ...:confused:

64bit -> windows\system32

I don't understand how to modify it. Can you guide me how to make RipBot run without the need for Admin password? For example, there is a shield icon (which probably means, it requires admin privileges) and I want to take it out.

Ok, it works. I did like what you said and I don't need the Admin pass all the time when I run it. But there's a little errror message and I don't know what it means though.

[stryker412]

@Atak I had someone else answer me on another forum about the "Clone Wars" TV show. Check this out, Lucasfilm is being slick.

If you plan to remux this you will have real fun doing it.

When you run eac3to on it it shows this:


c:\eac3to317>eac3to e:\
1) 00001.mpls, 00099.m2ts, 0:15:02
- VC-1, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9)
That is the ONLY playlist that shows up.

I had to hunt down the .mpls that showed the actual playlist and found that the "Play All" is listed on 00020.mpls but I found another surprise:


c:\eac3to317>eac3to e:\bdmv\playlist\00200.mpls
1) 00200.mpls, 2:41:03

- AC3, Spanish, multi-channel, 48khz
- AC3, Japanese, multi-channel, 48khz
Do you see that repeating 00096.m2ts file? Well, that little sucker is a 5 minute copyright placecard...yes, 5 minutes repeated after each episode.

Even if you decide to leave it in place and just skip it with the "Next Chapter" button (if you include chapters) you will find that those 5 minute files really screw up the synch for each episode after it. The first episode is fine but later on it gets worse and worse.

The only way to do it is to remux each individual episode as its own file. At least you know the correct order by looking at the mpls file.

Try this. Edit ripbot264.ini configs with notepad.exe;
Changes the RED Quoted values to empty; (Ex: DefaultEncodingMode=CQ to DefaultEncodingMode= )


-settings-
// TEMP=uses System temp ; AUTO = selects the biggest partition ; C , D ... uses specific partition
StoreTempFilesin=E:

DefaultProfile=[HIGH 4.0] HD . BluRay . Consoles
DefaultEncodingMode=CQ
DefaultModeValue=22
---------------------
//Directory must exists!!! D:\movies\ is correct but D:\movies is incorrect!
DefaultOutputPath=E:\BLURAY\
---------------------
// allowed values are mp4, mkv or bluray
DefaultContainer=bluray
---------------------
// in GiB (1GiB=1024 MiB) , 0 = no splitting

//AnyDVD DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-Ray decryptor will be automatically activated with RipBot264

---------------------
x264LowPriority=1
---------------------
// it will use 64bit version of x264 on 64bit Windows. up to 10% faster encoding speed.
Usex264x64=1



Remove the value "CQ" and the "22" and left empty.

Retry and give some news. I has freezing "Gathering Informations" if i set to 2-Pass; i don't know why, but it has resolve my issue by changing the value to empty.

Good Luck!

i get the splitter on this sites: http://haali.su/mkv/

ricky man - the 'latest' haali is not what's required for ripbot, when you attempt to open ripbot it should give you a link to d/l the needed haali
and the software check bypass no longer seems to work in the ini, even if you add the line manually

Thinking of changing my current Intel Q9300.

Does anyone knows if these AMD cpu is comparable in speed or faster to my current Intel Q9300 for running ripbot264 assuming no overclocking?

AMD Phenom II X4 945 3Ghz

It will be cheaper if you just overclock q9300 to 3ghz (400x7.5). I have Q6600 (2.4Ghz) in old 60nm and I have absolutely no problems at 3Ghz with default voltage. Yours is even better because it is in smaller process 45nm.

To use RipBot on Win7 x64 you still use the x86 versions of Avisynth, Haali, & FFDshow. Atak does not support anything other than x264 x64 at this time.

According to the x264 developers, about 10% speed improvement (personally I haven't tested this). RipBot will use x264 x64 without having everything else in 64-bit. As long as you are running on Win x64, RipBot will enable use of x264 x64.

[juramirez]

Tried it a couple of times over the weekend. Worked like a charm. :) Didn't try sleep, just hibernate, though.

Ok, had a couple of successful tries, but one bad one... When I resumed from hibernate, RipBot was extremely sluggish, starting at around 0.1 fps, eventually going up to 0.25 fps, instead of the usual 4-6 fps I usually get. I aborted and restarted, and everything was fine. Any idea why that would happen?

[pacaveli211]

Nice program! I use it to encode my MTS files from my Sony HDR-CX350V.
What I would like to see is the ability to specify the File/Segment title directly into RipBot instead of using the original filename.

Not that I want to promote any programs here, but here is what I use: Sony HDR-CX350V > tsMuxeR > RipBot > mkvToolnix
tsMuxeR is only for joining segments from a same movie. mkvToolnix is then used to add a proper File/Segment title.

Thanks!

I only use your program atak and sometimes BDRebuilder,BDRebuilder will not let you put anything other than BDMV files and will not let you keep HD audio unless you do a BD-25,but I do get faster encodes with it,the difference is BDrebuild uses me-hex and ripbot uses me-umh,which is best? Everything is the same on default settings except the me-xx above and a couple other things like keyint 24 and keyint min-1 for BDreb and keyint-240 and keyint min-24 in RipBot 1.15.1.Does this have anything to do with time and quality?The only other thing is rc-lookahead ripbot is 40 and BDreb is 24,all these are default settings.
Last night I changed the x264.exe's to the latest ver for both x264_x64.exe and the x264_x86.exe and put them in the tools in ripbot264.Is this OK to do or should I leave the one you put in when you updated ripbot, Atak? I'm wondering if I screwed anything up,I have Windows 7 x64 Ultimate,Phenom II 965BE AM3 cpu oc 3.8 and Corsair DDR3 XMS3 1600 memory 4GB's.Most the time it takes about 5hrs with both programs.When i use yours I only encode the movie file(no audio)then remux the Hd audio back in with tsmuxer.It took me 7.5 hrs last night, this is a couple hrs out of the norm,should I put the x264.exe's you had in there,or does this matter.Thanks for your program,It has helped save loads of room on my hard drives and keep great quality.

me-umh is better

couple other things like keyint 24 and keyint min-1 for BDreb and keyint-240 and keyint min-24 in RipBot 1.15.1.
longer gop is better for quality. With ultra short gop like 24 you may noticed unpleasant change in scene details. (encoder is forced to insert keyframe every second). Some people describe this as "frame pulsing". In Constant Quality mode files with shorter gop (24 for example) are always larger.

keyint 24 and keyint min-1

keyint [fps*10] and keyint [fps]

Is this OK to do or should I leave the one you put in when you updated ripbot, Atak?
you can always use latest builds from x264.nl because HRD patch has been committed some time ago.

Thanks for the input, and the links for knowledge. I wish I knew how to use x264 from the command line.My Bluray backups always look good.I didn't state that the BDrebuilder back-up I was comparing with was a default BD-5,not sure what it is in BD-9.I had Ripbot set at 7168 bit rate,2 pass because I was going for around 8GB (no audio). The file was 28GB with DTS-MA ,it was 3.47GB.In all I ended with a 11GB HD movie that is as good as the orginal.Thanks!

Is there something in particular you are looking for? As of now, RipBot is excellent. I don't see Atak adding too many more features in the future, so it might be a while.

[thebasa]

is there documentation on what all can be pre-selected in the interface by a setting in RipBot264.ini or are the default settings in there the only ones that are recognized? for example would be helpful for me to have automatically pre-selected all subtitles to demux in the bottom pulldown, and after demux automatically set audio to aften 640, set normalize none and crop automatic.

One question: when finally multiplexing MKV, shouldn't be the HE/SBR/AAC+ flag set for HE-AAC 5.1? It's not the case atm...
this only works when you don't use copy stream. I will try to fix that in newer version.

@thebasa
whole documentation is in ripbot264.ini

Atak, why does RipBot require Admin privileges every time it starts? Can it be avoid?
few reasons why I need Admin privileges
1) in order to set ffdshow as preffered directshow decoder in windows 7.
2) in order to register missing filters

I hate asking for new features - this is an excellent program and I really appreciate all the effort you've already put into it. I don't want to add to your troubles, but I'd like to ask for something that would be useful.

I wonder if it would be possible to have options to keep the existing audio extract and another option to keep the existing first pass data?

My workflow is to usually try a single pass, CQ encode first. I then take a look at it and if it looks good and if it will fit on a DVD, I'll keep it. If it looks bad I'll either go to a 2-pass encode or try a better CQ encode. Every time I rerun a Ripbot job, it goes through the creating audio phase, even when the existing audio is fine.

The problem with a 2-pass encode is that it takes a long time. Sometimes I need to shut down my computer in the middle of a 2nd pass. When I restart the computer, I need to go back to the beginning again - wasting an hour or two.

I usually get around this 2-pass problem by running the CMD files created in the job directory, but this seems a little unsafe to me.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi all, just wondering if and how people are encoding 720p content with AAC + AC3 DD for the AppleTV as RipBot doesn't seem to have an option for that that I can find. Do you mux the AC3 track in with some other tool after encoding the h264+AAC with RipBot?

Thanks for any tips..

[klopsknoedel]

@TheAncientEvil

RipBot-Folder -> Tools -> tsmuxer -> tsMuxerGUI.exe

1. click on "add" and ADD the finished h264+AAC-file wich RipBot generated
2. click on "add" and ADD the AC3-Track
3. Select the Format on the "Output" and click on "Start Muxing"

[mmmmdonut]

I just do multichannel AAC and let aTV mix it as prologic for my receiver to split. Keeps things nice and simple.

[harrystruman]

Czesc, Atak!!!

I've been using your tool for a while, and its great, but I have been observing a couple of things that bother me, maybe you can throw me a hand:

1) The PSP profile from 1.14.1 worked for me without problems. But the latest version (1.15.1) has some changes to it that make sometimes the video to "dissolve", like when a codec doesnt have enough bitrate to present the picture, but uglier. Im guessing some x264 option newly introduced (could be even before, 1.14.6) that doesn't always work good on the PSP. Im talking firmware 5.03, you can understand why I wouldnt go higher in this ;) Any option I could turn off? I tried several, but no luck.

2) The second thing bothers me more: Every time I have a VC1 source, I feel a delay in the ripbot generated file. Sometimes its so obvious that is not OK to keep the file. Later I examine the source, and the source goes OK, no delay or anything. The weird thing is, its not constant, its more noticeable in some scenes that others. For example, Nico - Above The Law original UK Bluray: Starts nice, everything in place.About 40 minutes later, you can feel some delay. Around 15 minutes later, a milisecond more. And in the end, everything goes fine again.

My setup:

Windows 7 64 bit, Ripbot 1.14.1 and 1.15.1 (for testing)
ffdshow set to ffmpeg-mt for AVC, set to WMV9 for VC1
MakeMKV for copying from original blurays to HDD.
-NOTE: I tried the demo anydvd to see if the untouched M2TS file did the same, and it did, so I dont think its a problem of container.

Keep up this great work.

Pozdrowienia!!!!!!

Nothing has been changed in PSP profile. I also have PSP (that was my main reason to start this project) and I haven't had any problems with quality so far @. BTW I use CQ@22.

What's your CPU? I wouldn't be surprised if your cpu is too slow.

[harrystruman]

Dzieki!!!

My CPU its an AMD X2 4200+, 4 GBs of RAM, a combo bluray-HDDVD drive, and playing fine with the bundled powerdvd ultra. Also, remuxed movies work fine, no matter what codec (VC1, H264).

For your info, I tried another software to test the same conversion, and let it use the original VC1 codec bundled with Windows 7 instead of the ffdshow one: The result was a little better, more "in synch", but still not perfect.

But the CPU power could be that important when converting video? I mean, besides taking longer, should be no problem, right?

Thanks again.

Click

Atak-
I do go to standby mode when I can and Ripbot264 works fine in those situations. However, I run Ripbot in 64-bit Windows7 on a dual boot machine ('cause I do not have the resources to own two computers). I run Ripbot overnight in Windows7, but in the morning I need to run Windows XP. If Ripbot has not finished encoding, it means that I've got to abort the second pass, shut down my PC, and reboot in another OS. This means I have to start at the beginning again the next night.

It sure would be nice if I could use the perfectly fine audio file and the perfectly fine first pass data files (job1.stats and job1.stats.mbtree?) that are already on my hard drive. This would save me a couple of hours of encoding time. I'm not asking to restart from where I left off in pass 2. I'm just asking for a couple of check boxes so I can cut directly to the code that creates the 2nd pass (and then remuxes).

I can understand that my request may muck up your user interface or otherwise be too hard for you to program, but would you at least think about it?

Also, could you tell me if it actually is OK to simply run job1_EncodeVideoPass2 followed by job1_MuxFiles in a CMD window?

Edit It just occurred to me that if I comment out all of the lines the Encode_Audio and Encode_VideoPass1 batch files, then Ripbot will do what I want (if I do not edit the job). I'll give it a try.

[robf]

I sent this also as a PM, but just in case you don't read them..

I have been using ripbot to convert HDDVD and BD to WTV files. I find it very useful, thank you for sharing.

I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option for WTV as the output file. It would be a simple matter of building the proper command line call to DVRMSToolbox and executing after the encoding stage. It would save an additional step to the conversion process.

What do you think?

thanks,
Rob

Bump to my request. Here is what I see needs to be done;

- A radio button on the jobs window for a save-as option for wtv.
- Create a script to issue the command: "<DVRMSToolbox Inst_dir>\Applications\todvrms.exe" "<mkv output dir>\output.mkv" "<final output dir>"\output.wtv" -wtv
- An additional task at the end of the job to call to the new wtv script

Is this possible? It would be so nice for the Win7 MC and xbox extender folks.

thanks,
Rob

Hi there, Again.

Atak, there is no demuxlog.txt in the temp/job folder.

There is one info.txt:

and one mkvinfo.txt, attached to this post.

The rest is the audio.ac3, chapters file, getframe and getinfo.avs, job.avs and mkvextract.cmd

This is before conversion. Maybe that log you ask is after?

Thanks in advance.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Don't use MakeMKV! Remember simpler solutions are often the best
1) Activate AnyDVD HD (it must run in background!)
2) select ANY .m2ts from Blu-Ray disc in ripbot264
3) demuxing may take even 30 min so don't panic
4) encode and let me know if you have still audio sync issues. Use lower resolution and CQ mode to speed up whole process.

[Happysin]

RipBot does not like my TrueHD audio streams from my HD DVD rips. Is there a good way to get around this?

[EDIT] Perhaps I spoke too soon. Here's the error I am getting now:

DirectShowSource: couldn't open file D:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\video.mkv:
Cannot play back the video stream: no suitable decompressor could be found.
(D:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)

I have everything required installed, including the most current version of FFDshow. I'm trying to do this to a ripped version of my Blade Runner HD DVD on a Windows Server 2003 machine (with some codec stuff installed to handle what Server 2k3 lacks there).

[mmmmdonut]

@happysin You got WMP11 on your W2K3 box?

[Happysin]

No, it's WMP10, but I have Windows Media Encoder and something else (I forget what, it was a while back) that is supposed to make WMP handle everything WMP11 is supposed to, media-wise.

Unfortunately, until Windows Home Server 2 comes out, I have no choice on upgrading that OS. :/

[mmmmdonut]

Based off your avs error, I can only assume source is VC-1 therefor you need to have WMP11 loaded on older systems.

[Happysin]

Hmm, ok. i'll try some of the workarounds I see online for installing WMP11 on Server 2003 and try again! :)

What output format do you use? TS then convert to MP4 with a different tool?

I just do multichannel AAC and let aTV mix it as prologic for my receiver to split. Keeps things nice and simple. This is what I have been doing, which is normally fine. Not bad by any means, especially for comedies/dramas. But for action and sci-fi flicks, it would be nice to have discrete channels.

Also, what does everyone use to insert forced subtitles? I would prefer to use something like SupTitle as it renders it into the image vs having to OCR it. But as of so far, I haven't been able to make it work ( video renders with no subtitles). This is my modified job avs script if someone can point me in the right direction... As a note, I tried moving the subtitles section before the resize section without any effect.

1) Make sure your CPU and memory are 100% stable. Run this (http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/663563/LinX/en/LinX.7z) for couple hours. Select max memory.
2) Update ffdshow
3) download newer x264_x86.exe and x264_x64.exe from x264.nl

[illestdomer2005]

Yeah, I have noticed some pretty bad vertical patterning in some scenes. It seems as though either ffdshow or more than likely one of the RipBot tools (x264) is running into some issues.

I noticed some artifacts in a few of my encodes lately. After having uninstalled and reinstalled ffdshow. It seems after uninstalling again and updating to a newer version of ffdshow, the artifacts went away. I run a CoreI7, and it is stable as well so I know that isnt the problem. So try updating ffdshow and then re-encoding. Should fix it.

[Mr. Monte]

I read that a new version of RipBOt will be released this month. I wanted to knw a few things please.

1. Can it be added or is there another program that can allow me to try different filters to achieve an outcome and then let me see side by side a comparision of the original source and the encoded/filtered output to see the change. I believe Lord Muldar had a GUI that did that...I just never went further in using it, since I've likened RipBot.

2. Is there a repository of Avisynth filters in a location with a description of their purpose. Then What would be the procedure to add them to Ripbot. Currently the one filter that is included in RipBot..causes an error whenever I try to use it.

Thanks

[Peakr]

Source is fine. I re-encoded movie after updating x264 and reinstalling ffdshow, Haali. However hate to watch the movie again just to look for glitches. Probably get my roomate to do it.

[Arbelisk]

What version are you running now? I'm still using 3342.

version 3370

[htpconvert]

Thanks for an amazing tool!

I have 2 questions:

1. I seem to have consistent audio sync problems. I am converting Australian recorded tv in mpeg2 format into mp4 with ACC 128 audio. I always need to tweak the sync setting in ripbot +/- 100ms.

Is this normal? Or should it just be in sync? I never had this issue with the same files when converting to avi/xvid.

2. Would you ever consider adding the option for high bitrate AAC audio settings? I know you don't think it matters but I am quite the audiophile and on good speakers I can hear the compression. The input formats I use rarely have AC3 (and even then I want to downsample to 2.0 - not keep 5.1) so keeping that setting is not a solution. I would really like the option of 256-320 AAC audio. That would be perfect!

Anyway - thanks for all your hard work with this program!

This was my problem:

When i upload an encoded movie to youtube... at some points in the movie it would appear like gray.. and it lasts for a few seconds..

but when i would view the movie on my PC it would not show gray instead it would freeze completely on those seconds.

So i set to 1 like you show and it worked good.. but now i am using ffdshow 3397 (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=3f33c77c2cf9ce25ab1eab3e9fa335ca95e79d7d0540e1e1) from 2 May 2010 and libavcodec so its working with 8 threads.. i don't know the difference between ffmpeg-mt and libavcodec so it does not matter what i use then.. as long as the result is looking good..

[MKVCrazy]

Atak, is it possible to use FFT3DFilter with RipBot264? If so, what will be the sample syntax? I tried it but it didn't work :\

[Wishbringer]

FFT3DGPU is still used in RipBot when using filters for film or anime.

[cafevincent]

I wonder what encoder settings I should use for encoding 1080p DXVA compliant live action movie? I don't care about the time it takes to encode, just that it's DXVA compliant and max quality.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Use default 4.0 profile. Adjust SUBPIXEL REFINEMENT to 10. Adaptive B-Frames switch to 2.

[Dislikeyou]

I tried to encode from x264 Demo Blue-Ray and i noticed this pixel errors in the encoded mkv:

http://j.imagehost.org/t/0266/bad.jpg (http://j.imagehost.org/view/0266/bad)

The error appears for 1 second or 2.. when its switching from an frame to another a small part of the old frame is moved to the new..

Probably i am doing something wrong or it is ffdshow error again..

[MKVCrazy]

FFT3DGPU is still used in RipBot when using filters for film or anime.

I know but I disabled FFT3DGPU and edited the script, it says syntax error or something but the format isn't right. So I'm wondering how Atak will write a syntax for his RipBot264 to use FFT3DFilter.

Any idea Atak? :rolleyes:

[boofhead1234]

hey guys I have been using ripbot for a few months encoding .vob files from dvds to store on my hdd. been great so far.

however, now i am trying to re-encode some .mkv files (which were previously encoded from .vob with ripbot) to make them even smaller. The problem is, ripbot wont accept .mkv files as input.

AFAIK, i have the most up to date version of ripbot and x264, and have the required version of haali and avi splitter etc which ripbot needs to run.

When i try add a .mkv file, it first de-muxes the audio successfully, but says 'gathering information' and doesnt do anything. I left it for ages, and nothing happened.

Any ideas how to fix this? I have tried to get help from other forums, but they ran out of ideas.

[pacaveli211]

try the following:
delete temp dir / clear job list
reboot pc
uninstall FFDshow, then re-install it
maybe demux the streams and add them separately

Well, yes but within reason. My computer is a dual core ATOM so encoding one movie takes like maybe a week with fast 1st pass and the settings you recommended. A week is fine I guess because it doesn't interfere with the other computer usage and I don't have many videos to encode.

I didnt have any issues. Grabbed the "forced" sup file, converted it to sub using bdsup2sub in the tools directory and was good to go. Bdsup2sub is java based so you need make sure you have jre loaded.

After demuxing had finished, I opened the English-Forced .sup with BDSup2Sub, converted to 1280x720 size, exported. Chose to burn the subs into picture, worked beautifully!

You've got a great program here! :thanks:

Wouldn't be simpler to just import .sup directly in RipBot264???

Hmm, will the next update include support for OGM files? The other converter I'm trying is giving me audio sync problems. (Psp Video Converter) I'd much rather use this one, but if it's too much to ask I don't mind.

Drat, ignored. :P


It's all good, no hard feelings on this end.

Sure, would have been simpler. But those subs are sized for 1080P video, I wanted smaller subs for 720P, that's why I resized them. :)

[FellWolf]

Okay so instead of bothering you to add ogm support I went on a small little journey to unpack the ogm and then repack as an mkv. But for some reason the English audio picks up a delay. The Japanese audio is just fine. I'm probably just going to fix it manually with the mkvmerge delay feature. Then I'll use Ripbot, which I just want to tell you, is an excellent program, and I thank you for creating it.


Edit:

Well it turned out I had to delay the audio by a full second. Odd, how it picked that up.

[Atak_Snajpera]

You should use 1080p subs because they will look better on 1920x1080 display.

[FellWolf]

Sorry for pestering, but for converting a 480p anime file to a psp compatible mp4 file is there a crf which produces higher quality? Or should I just leave it on 22? So far everything I've done I've just left at 22, but I'm wondering what type of difference it makes.

25000kbps (video) + 4608kbps (uncompressed 5.1 audio 16bit) = 29608kbps = 3701KB/s

Hi ,

I know that Ripbot 264 has included eac3to .
I need to resize few files which are too large after encoding BD into 720p.
Resulting 3 files : a LPCM of 2 GB , a DTS of 987 MB and an AC3 of 980 MB.
I wanna convert them to maximum 200-300 MB each , doesn't matter the quality ( I know the problem )
So , in this case , can I use Ripbot ?? and how ??
If no , I must use eac3to , but I didn't found yet an interface for it...

can smb help me ???

THX !!

PS : One MORE question :

When a movie has 4 or 5 sound tracks , how can I encode ALL of them , in the same time using Ripbot ???
Is there such a possibility ???
If there isn't , how can I encode / convert them separatelly and how can I attach them to the movie ??

I had the same problem with Fist of Legend US version and what I did was:

I demuxed the movie with tsMuxer to get the audio files.
I am in the process of encoding the movie without audio.
When done I will add the audio to it with mkvtoolnix.

The audio tracks in the movie are all AC3 2.0 with bitrate 192-224 so there is no need to recode them but if they were DTS I would just use PopCorn AudioConverter to recode them from the finished mkv.

Use this as a GUI for eac3to to convert your audio tracks:

eac3to GUI (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/eac3to)

You can use tsMuxer to demux audio tracks and convert them separately. tsMuxer can also remux the video, audio, and subtitle files if you want separate versions. It will do MKVs and AVCHDs.

[benjyv]

I see that you didn't understand my problem :((

Can I encode IN THE SAME TIME 2 , 3 or 4 sound tracks using Ripbot ???...like subtitles , for instance....
I think NO ...also every DTS or other kind of sound tracks is automatically converted to AC3 file.
My problem is how to resize the sound files ???
Does eac3to has an interface to easy work with it ???

i was converting the audio track to dd 5.1 to free up room for a higher video birate though

[dbone1026]

You should use 1080p subs because they will look better on 1920x1080 display.

Keep in mind though that some players (such as the PCH A200/C200) do not support 1080p subs in mkvs currently. I have to downres them to 480p

EDIT - nevermind, you are talking about burned in subs, I am talking about IDX/SUB subs muxed in

I hardly encode these days not even with StaxRip but since I got a new monitor I'm playing around now with different applications checking how fonts look. Until today I had 17" 1024x768 analog monitor, a good Samsung SyncMaster. In RipBot264 fonts were very hard to read, I remember you said you expect people to have a good LCD so I though problem is probably my analog monitor. Now I have a Samsung P2370 which is 23" at 1920x1080 using 150% system font size, it looks just as bad as before :), very hard to read. In the 'Encoding settings' dialog, fonts look really really bad here. You probably have perfect eye sight and a perfectly adjusted high quality LCD but I guarantee you there are countless users were things look very very bad due to bad eyes, bad monitor or both. My eye sight is poor, I'm 34 now and sadly it gets a little bit worse every year.

lol, I know you're mad when someone asks you "easy" things but I do know x264 can run silumtaneously (I do that all the time in MeGUI with multiple workers) but in RipBot264, when I click on RipBot264.exe one more time, it keeps saying it's still in memory! So it won't open up another RipBot264. That's why I asked if it's possible to do the same like MeGUI or not since I'm not completely familiar with RipBot264 yet.

You're right !! MeGUI can run / work with multiple workers , but Ripbot - NO.
It occupies the entire memory or processor and two parallel programs can not work.
Moreover the software has been designed to ease your work and not obstruct it..
Supposing you could run two or three programs at once, during the encoding , logic , the time will increase proportionally, no matter how powerful your computer should be..

uhm, ah I see why RipBot won't run in parallel now.

@the time will increase proportionally

I don't know how RipBot264 will be programmed to run in parallel later in the future but if it's going to be like MeGUI, then the time won't increase for me. I have tried converting 4 HD (1080p) videos at the same time and they all encoded as fast as if I were running a single conversion. :rolleyes:

By the way, can the speed of conversion ruin my output quality? Because I am still using the same profile as before (I got 25-30 fps conversion speed) and now when I use this profile on a faster computer it goes up to like 120-140 fps) :\ I like the speed increase but just want to confirm it if quality can be worse before I make profile a little heavier.

You are most likely selecting the wrong track. The one that automatically pops up is over 2 hours. Make sure you select the 98 minute playlist. I converted Daybreakers today without a problem.

Hi Atak,

Please would you be able to put in a profile to support iPad? Currently the iPod/iPhone profile works just fine, but if you could include a profile (main profile 3.1), that could mean slightly better quality at the same bitrates.

Maybe Atak will consider having a drop down or the ability to select what track(s) you want to encode in future releases.

Also, BTW what is the easiest way to extract subtitles from a movie and then import them into RipBot?

Also, how does that effect forced subtitles?

The vc1 streams are packaged into an mkv and processed just fine so long as they come from mpeg-ts video stream.
Otherwise you cant add them directly.

'raw' means not in a container. I'm well aware that ripbot can process vc1 inside mkv and can demux/remux them from m2ts streams

Are you trying to back up "movie only"? If so, I would recommend using Clown_BD (http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=25818). You can pick to keep HD audio (or down convert) and subs, and once it's done extracting, you'll be able to see if it will fit on a BD25.

+1 If you want to keep the original HD Audio tracks then Ripbot is not the program for you.

[pacaveli211]

does Clown BD re-encode?
if not....I don't see why I'd use it at all, since I have tools that I can extract / mux stuff with already
I have no issues keeping the HD audio, I just mux in after re-encoding. and I honestly don't even mind that so much. what I dislike is I can't properly determine sizes without having the HD audio added in the expected size.

Hi, I successfully finished several rips on different hardware -- now I'm on a fancy new i7 and I consistently have the following problem...

Ripbot finishes (after grinding away for several hours) but then generates no output file. After digging into the logs I see that BePipe has a problem detecting the audio stream. I think RipBot is just ignoring this and fails silently. (There's no visible rip bot error)

Here's the error from the ribot logs:

I've googled endlessly and can't seem to find anything relevant on this error.

I've tried reinstalling win7 from the ground up and then just installing win7 update, rip bot, anydvdHD, and the 4 dependencies, still no luck. The problem crops up if I'm ripping from disk or ripping from the hard drive.

If it matters, this is a 64bit CPU with 64bit win7 home premium. (but that worked for me before on a different motherboard/cpu)

Thanks in advance!! :thanks:

[mmmmdonut]

@crankhard - Are you by chance placing a check on the demux screen next to audio that says FLAC? I ask cause based off your log it states input file must be WAV PCM which if you dont check the FLAC button you will notice in your jobX folder the audio track will be .wav instead of .flac. This is purely a guess on my part as I have not encountered this issue.

[hoju3508]

does Clown BD re-encode?
if not....I don't see why I'd use it at all, since I have tools that I can extract / mux stuff with already
I have no issues keeping the HD audio, I just mux in after re-encoding. and I honestly don't even mind that so much. what I dislike is I can't properly determine sizes without having the HD audio added in the expected size.

No, it does not re-encode. You're right you don't need it if you're comfortable using your other tools.

Hi Atak,

Is there any way to use the rack04 patch with fade compensation with RipBot?

[soneca]

For God's sake... Thanks!:mad:

[Ajax_Undone]

OK; what if anything does God have to do with this?

[nekrosoft13]

Please update Ripbot to detect the latest (3/27/2010) version of Haali Media Splitter. It doesn't detect it at all.

+1

forcing users to install and use old halli was just silly.

Hi everyone.

Could someone tell me if there is a CQ option for perfect 1:1 encode? What happens if I put CQ 0 (zero)

[stasi]

Hey Atak!

Does it make sense to encode DTS-ES 6.1 Audio and Dolby Digital EX Audio from a DVD to Flac?

[robf]

Hey ATAK,

Third time's the charm? Is it that you have zero interest in this addition???

-Rob


I sent this also as a PM, but just in case you don't read them..

I have been using ripbot to convert HDDVD and BD to WTV files. I find it very useful, thank you for sharing.

I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option for WTV as the output file. It would be a simple matter of building the proper command line call to DVRMSToolbox and executing after the encoding stage. It would save an additional step to the conversion process.

What do you think?

thanks,
Rob

Bump to my request. Here is what I see needs to be done;

- A radio button on the jobs window for a save-as option for wtv.
- Create a script to issue the command: "<DVRMSToolbox Inst_dir>\Applications\todvrms.exe" "<mkv output dir>\output.mkv" "<final output dir>"\output.wtv" -wtv
- An additional task at the end of the job to call to the new wtv script

Is this possible? It would be so nice for the Win7 MC and xbox extender folks.

thanks,
Rob

[chilled]

I'm wondering if there is a general rule when it come to 5.1 to 2.0 downmixing concerning the checking of the "normalize" box.

I usually do VOB to mkv encodes using LC-96. Sometimes I just can't pick the 2.0 original audio because there isn't one. So I always do 5.1 -> 2.0 but I'm not sure whether I should normalize 100% or not.

I usually don't, but the reason is just because it takes longer...

My only concern is about dialogues getting "lowered" in comparison to sound effects. Is this corrected "automatically" with the downmix process involved in Ripbot or should I check "normalize" to achieve this?

I have read some threads about DRC, replain gain and normalization but I can't fin one concerning some general advice (in ripbot).

thanks in advance

[Mr. Monte]

what questions?

Also, BTW what is the easiest way to extract subtitles from a movie and then import them into RipBot?

Also, how does that effect forced subtitles?

[pacaveli211]

when you open an m2ts with ripbot it gives you a selection box to choose the subtitles you want included
you can also just demux to .sup and remux into whatever.
I did this with avatar and it seems to have kept the forced flags and such (the na'vi parts and hard of hearing captions are in the same track)

[benjyv]

New version of RipBot264 is coming around.

Where is that one ??

On the FIRST page , as usual ???

Unfortunately there is no new version for now.

when ripbot completes a job the video track will be in the temp folder, so you can just mux everything together
no need to reprocess it all

[servocrow]

hello,

i did scan though a few pages but didnt come across my issue: ripbot on my current pc setup (windows 7 64x enterprise) will only tackle a few blu rays, handbrake will, but Id rather use ripbot...

the two issues , errors i keep coming across are either related to DIRECTSHOW or AVISYNTH
any fix available for these reoccuring issues??

Hi Atak,
I was messing around with RipBot264 1.15.0 and managed to convert a rmvb file by manually typing in the file name into RipBot with K-Lite mega-codec installed, however the audio was off sync.
I wasn't able to accomplish this with RipBot264 1.15.1 with only avisynth, haali and ffdshow installed.
I was wondering if RipBot will be able to fully support rmvb in the future.:D

[Adub]

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/

Atak, I think you missed the point of my post.

RipBot was incorrectly identifying my FFDShow version 3326 as being less than version 3300.

@servocrow
It sounds like you may not have Directshow properly configured. I wrote a guide (well actually 2) that can help you with this.
Here is the general version: http://adubvideo.net/how-to/setup-proper-playback-chain-windows
And here is the version with specifics for Windows 7: http://adubvideo.net/how-to/setup-proper-decoding-chain-windows-7

Demux the HD audio track with TSMuxer or Eac3to. Check the size.

Re-encode video if necessary.

23830 MB - (HD audio size) -500 MB for padding = target encode size for Ripbot.

ReMux with TsMuxer.

Although this could be what you're already doing.:sly:

Hi Atak,

Please would you be able to put in a profile to support iPad? Currently the iPod/iPhone profile works just fine, but if you could include a profile (main profile 3.1), that could mean slightly better quality at the same bitrates.

Many thanks!

Apple Technical Note 2188 says Apple TV export under QT is compatible with iPad. I've got a buddy with an iPad and can confirm the Apple TV profile in RB264 works with iPad.

Linkie: http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2007/tn2188.html#TNTAG18

Also for what its worth, I do modify the Apple TV settings to change profile to 3.1 instead of 3. I know this is just a label but do it so the log files are clean. Leaving it at 3 would see warnings about exceeding 10mbs.

[crankharder]

What's a good format to rip to if I want to have optional subtitles (so, not burnt in) and playback on OSX, and then windows (if possible). mk4? What about the other formats, AVCHD and the new DIVXHD format? Thanks!

new Haali

http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Haali_Media_Splitter

20/05/2010

* New Features:
o Added support for WebM files
* Fixed items:
o Fixed a lot of issues with mp4 muxer
o Better support for VC-1 in MPEG Transport streams


for the love of god, don't force people to install old haali version

[pacaveli211]

Demux the HD audio track with TSMuxer or Eac3to. Check the size.

Re-encode video if necessary.

23830 MB - (HD audio size) -500 MB for padding = target encode size for Ripbot.

ReMux with TsMuxer.

Although this could be what you're already doing.:sly:

unfortunately it's more complex than that.
star trek was 21106MB prior to muxing
after it is: 23074MB ( I fell a little bit under target size, but under is a lot better than over =) )
so it's a lot more than 500MB of padding. and it seems to vary depending on the length of the movie, maybe the audio track (bitrate & codec or something) and etc. if ripbot allowed 'copy track' for HD audio I would probably be able to get a much closer encode using the avchd output to gauge it, as it's structure is almost identical. right now I just kinda guess...subtract the size of the audio from my BDR size 23866MB, then allow for a gig or 2 of padding

Works for me on iPad.

Is CheckRequiredSoftware=0 supposed to work in 1.15.1? I don't care if the answer is no. Just looking for an answer of any sort. Would very much like to use Ripbot264 with Haali 1.10.175.0.

[Atak_Snajpera]

[Atak_Snajpera]

awesome. finally we have correct hq appletv and ipad profile!

[mmmmdonut]

awesome. finally we have correct hq appletv and ipad profile!

I tested your Joy Park sample and PQ looked fine for those 10seconds however video sample did not stream well (I only run hardwire) and aTV struggled to keep up. I did not try syncing the content to the aTV to see if it played any differently as that defeats point of having a media stream imo.

Looking at mediainfo on the file, I see you have cabac on. That has been known to cause locks of blockiness issues on the aTV not to mention its not officially supported by Apple even though folks have got it to work.

Will be glad to do some other testing if you can post profile you are working on.

[Atak_Snajpera]

According to spec AppleTV supports Main level 3.1 so CABAC must be supported as well. In this sample I used the highest bitrate allowed for level 3.1. I doubt you will be encoding anything at 14mbps ;)

[lulz]

I like your program but, some Flv files tend to crash avs2avi.exe or just don't encode nicely.

Also is it possible to save the avisynth script for use on every encode?

[mmmmdonut]

According to spec AppleTV supports Main level 3.1 so CABAC must be supported as well. In this sample I used the highest bitrate allowed for level 3.1. I doubt you will be encoding anything at 14mbps ;)

I know the TN article I listed in previous post mentions profile 3.1 but the tech specs here ( http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html ) specifically state CAVLC.

Now personally I dont know much about either other than the spec for main profile says you should support both CAVLC and CABAC however Apple is known for not playing by the rules.

On separate note do you think you could add 960x540 as a resize option for those of us that have aTV's and is only way to do hi res video at 30fps? :thanks:

How did you rip the BluRay?

I have used AnyDVD and MakeMKV both. Get the same error with ripbot. I have not made any config changes to anything. just standard installs of all required apps. I get the same error with another Bluray as well.

[Ajax_Undone]

OK why is it in mkv if you ripped it from a disk. It should be m2ts.

[Guest]

MakeMKV will rip directly to MKV.

Makes enforcing rule 6 problematic. That's why I always give people the chance to shoot themselves in the foot. :)

One giveaway is the use of a standard torrent filename, which is not the case here. Looks legit.

@mmmmdonut and Ajax_Undone
here is new profile for ATV
http://www.mediafire.com/file/mry0bygttjy/[MAIN 3.1] HD . AppleTV . iPAD.txt
Also check if your ATV plays 720p@30fps.

[servocrow]

OK ripbot264 requires Avisynth and FFDShow to be installed.

The installer at this address it should do what you need just fine.

When it opens the webpage click on the green button.



your brilliant !! thx :)

[mmmmdonut]

@Atak - Pulled down your aTV profile and will give it a shot tonight. Pulling down Elephants Dream to test with in case you need a sample uploaded. Should have an update later tonight.

[mmmmdonut]

@Atak - I did a test of Elephants Dream (http://orange.blender.org/download) which was a 1080p avi file.

Using the profile you uploaded, I noticed weightp was enabled which resulted in serious blockiness. With CABAC turned on the aTV seemed to struggle playing the video back.

I did a second encode using same profile and turning off CABAC and Weightp and the video playback was much smoother and there was no blockiness.

I created two 50MB sample files but am having difficulties getting them uploaded to mediafire. If I can get them uploaded later on I will post the links.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/nykfzm2ocxj/Elephants_Dream_720p_24fps_aTV_iPAD_profile_NoCabac_Weightp_off.mp4

As for 720p@30fps. Still a no go. Video doesnt show up as available for playback.

[zumaval]

I've been using your app for some time now and am very happy with it. Great job.

I know you probably get a ton of requests but I have one I'd like to get on the record. I prefer the mkv container for my encodes but also want the flexibility to use an external Dolby/DTS decoder when watching the videos. MKV can now handle Dolby True HD and DTS-MS audio streams.
Would you please allow for that in a future version?

Correction, DTS-MA is what I meant to say above and that is actually not supported in mkv yet. Only Dolby True-HD. Hopefully the DTS-MA
part will follow soon as well. Either way I'm actually fairly happy with the flac option. Just wanted to get my 2 cents in.

[cafevincent]

I have successfully encoded most of my m2ts files to mkv but the remaining ones always end up with the following AviSynth error message:

DirectShowSource: couldn't open file C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\video.mkv:
The system cannot find the file specified.
(C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)

Please help.

[davidsama]

You could try using 1.15.0 instead.

You could try using 1.15.0 instead.

You talking to me? How will that help?

Error msg states file cant be found. Problem as I see it is where is your temp directory. Easiest thing to do is stop using auto in the ripbot ini file and specify a location. Keep it simple and make a directory like C:\Temp.

Firstly thank you for this great app, been using it for ages and its fantastic.

Can somebody please tell me why this version just will not work for me.

If i use the inbuilt profiles its fine but im after great avchd quality.

can you take a look at my 1080p profile and see why its not working with this version, but works with 1.15.0

--level 4.1 --aud --nal-hrd --vbv-bufsize 25000 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --rc-lookahead 50 --aq-mode 1 --aq-strength 0.8 --merange 64 --psy-rd 0.80:0.00 --no-dct-decimate --no-fast-pskip --filter -2,-2 --keyint 240 --min-keyint 24 --ref 3 --bframes 5 --b-pyramid strict --b-adapt 2 --direct auto --subme 9 --trellis 2 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --me esa



there must be something wrong in my profile....help


and thank you

There's no hope for this, buddy....go back to DVDs.....:logfile:

Same results as above.
The old aTV profile has --no-cabac --weightp 0 It always seemed to work
fine for me. Then again the vbv buf size and max have changed to 14000 each
and so has the level from 3.0 to 3.1. I did as mmmmdonut did and got the
same results. Only I used independents day. :p

I don't think ATV was meant to play 30fps @ 720p.

Over at the handbrake site there was a quick post about x264 dev's stating it was bad idea to use small vbv buf size. Now the profile Atak put together has always been good and through the numerous encodes I have only exceeded the 5000 buffer size once. I dont think bumping the buffer size up to say 10000 and leaving max at 12000 or moving it to 14000 would hurt anything.

As for 3.1 vs 3.0 there is zero difference there. Using 3.1 just cleans up the log files since it raises the bit rate limit.

I do like in the new profile the bump in ref frames. Also new is --aud --nal-hrd which I'm not sure what that setting does as I havent researched it yet. I know I've seen folks talk about it before in the PS3 profile.

@krazdkiller whats in your temp\ripbot... dir? Specifically job1 dir.

@krazdkiller whats in your temp\ripbot... dir? Specifically job1 dir.

you mean my normal temp folder? if so there is no ripbot folder in it. what is in the last post is job 1 listed in the logs folder.

@krazdkiller - While I dont see anything wrong with pathing other than the really long path to ripbot, try the following from command line

change your working directory to tools\mkvtoolnix. Then run the following: mkvmerge.exe -o "C:\Users\KrazdKiller\Desktop\Julie & Julia.mkv" --title "Julie & Julia" --default-duration 0:24000/1001fps -d 0 -A -S "C:\temp\RipBot264temp\video.264" --language 0:und --sync 0:0 -a 0 -D -S "C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\audio.mp3"


You might want to verify that c:\temp\ripbot264temp\video.264 and c:\temp\ripbot264temp\job1\audio.mp3 exist prior to.

My guess is the error "The system cannot find the path specified" is when it calls mkvmerge. Running the command by hand will help you narrow down where the problem is.

Then run the following: mkvmerge.exe -o "C:\Users\KrazdKiller\Desktop\Julie & Julia.mkv" --title "Julie & Julia" --default-duration 0:24000/1001fps -d 0 -A -S "C:\temp\RipBot264temp\video.264" --language 0:und --sync 0:0 -a 0 -D -S "C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\audio.mp3"


You might want to verify that c:\temp\ripbot264temp\video.264 and c:\temp\ripbot264temp\job1\audio.mp3 exist prior to.

My guess is the error "The system cannot find the path specified" is when it calls mkvmerge. Running the command by hand will help you narrow down where the problem is.

so how do i go about changing the working directory? i have RipBot264\Tools but no "mkvtoolnix"

i created the folder structures on c, and i created the mkvtoolnix folder. i am not finding mkvmerge.exe. i have checked both f and c.

redownload the package back on page one. When you extract it you should see a mkvtoolnix directory under tools. Since you are missing this one tool you might want to compare what you just downloaded versus what you have loaded on your machine.

Atak_Snajpera, upload a new ripbot installer that downloads and installs all the required files / programs. i have installed it and it looks like i have everything you have mentioned so far. i am now attempting another conversion. be done in about 13 minutes.

EDIT:

Downloading and installing the latest installer did the trick. I have my movie sitting on my desktop now. Thanks for the help. I know basically what messed me up in the first place. That was installing the Divx Plus Codec pack so i could have MKV thumbnails. Now I know in the future that i deal with k-lite first, Divx Codecs second, and then RipBot264. Thanks again for the help.

P.S.

Ripbot is a great program. I have tried WonderShare, but you have to go into the setting for each video you want to convert and make sure that it does not change the aspect ratio. I have tried Total Video Converter, and it decreases the quality. RipBot264 is just set it and forget it. The amount of space I am able to save using MKV's versus AVI's, and the video is the same quality or better is fantastic.

So I am doing 2-pass encodes, and my first pass CPU utilization varies wildly. Right now, I am doing another encode of Avatar (forgot subtitles), and my first pass is running at 45fps, but it's only using 45% of the CPU. The CPU is an i7 920 @4.2GHz w/HT on. On 2nd pass, it is darn near 100% utilization, but I read/heard that the problem could be that ffdshow can't decode it as fast as x264 is trying to sample it?

Any help is appreciated!

Have some questions here,

I've tried this 1.15.1 ver. there're some minor things and I'm wonder whether there'll be update. First of all, i'm dealing some files with Chinese filenames, and GUI doesn't recognize CHN.ts files but does for CHN.mpg files. second is that, even it can work with the CHN.mpg files, after done with setting, I click OK. when it returns to the job lists, the CHN filenames with become miscoded and unreadable. I remember the previous version doesn't have this same problem. Can you please do some minor update to fix the language issue? Thanks a lot, I really love this simple but powerful tool!

Hello there.

@atak

Long time since my last question. Remember what was the problem? The VC1 sources "moving around" with the audio synch, sometimes more, sometimes less (but always miliseconds, enough to notice that the audio comes first, then the picture of the action). The last thing you told was to use anydvd instead of makemkv, so I'd let ripbot all the process.

I did it, and it wasn't possible until last night to check it, well, I checked, and it goes the same. So the problem isn't in the MKV or ripped files. It has to be in the directshow system, 'cause now, in addition to those mini-synch problems, I have a couple of "scratches" (blockiness) in the movie (in fact, when one of those scratches occurs, the picture freezes for a milisecond, maybe its the cause of all of this)

The point being, ffdshow seems to have a problem in my system decoding vc1 streams, as it would skip some frames sometimes, or not decoding it that good, then it could be the reason.

I think I didnt had any problem before, in windows XP, but in windows 7 I havent managed to make one good conversion from a warner bluray.

Any advice? thanks in advance.

Grr, there's no such thing is 'got-over-with-problems' when it comes to encoding/converting :( I have a new problem. I have everything working but somehow it will not continue to encode. For example I queued a lot of videos in the RipBot but it'll do only the first one or two then skips the rest. See this example. I have K-Lite and everything was working. I don't know what messed up my baby RipBot :(

I am getting an Avisynth error

This file encoded in 1.14.6 but I was getting a few stutters in the video (never happened to me before) and the source plays just fine. I started getting the error after upgrading to 1.15.1 so I uninstalled Avisynth, Halli Splitter, and ffdshow then followed the instructions in /tools/ax/ArcSoft DTS Decoder/readme.txt then reinstalled avisynth, ffdshow, and haali splitter.

@mkvcrazy
Why don't you show me Job11_log.txt or Job12_log.txt and other which has been skipped.

@hellgiver
Send me 50mb sample to www.mediafire.com. Use DGSplit.

[hellgiver]

@Atak_Snajpera
Here is the link http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zzxgglmd0zw

Only the first sample file would play (I assume that means .WMV puts header information at the beginning of the file considering WMP12 says the length is over 2 hours, lol).

Hey I just wanted to thank you for making and continuing to update your program.


I haven't done much encoding so all these settings are new to me.

What I'm trying to do is get a Blu-ray that was remuxed to .MKV encoded into h.264 with a lower bitrate. The movie maxes out almost 40mbps and I was trying to get it down to maybe tops 20mbps.

Um K-lite Codec pack is not necessary. ffdshow should handle any video you through at it.

The link to the installer you told me about seems to work just fine. Just follow the link in my signature and it will take you to my upload folder. Inside of that you should see a direct link to it...

@miklg21
1) Don't change anything in profile!
2) Use 2-pass mode if you want to encode at 20480 kbps (20 Mbps)

I think MP4Box is seg faulting at the last step. Not doing anything special, default settings, Mp4, 5.1AAC,256kbps.

(C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)"

I've un-installed and re-installed all the components at least 8 times now with no change in the results.

help?

btw, I get the same error with meGUI

[Atak_Snajpera]

wait for new version

[GSingh]

wait for new version

But I've never gotten the error before? It happening all of a sudden makes me wonder.... and it's not just ripbot either so it's got to be something else.

New problem: when I try to denoise a vid, it says "FFT3DGPU.dll can't load"

[Atak_Snajpera]

Install latest Directx 9.0c

[hellgiver]

@Atak_Snajpera

I don't mean to be a bother, but any ideas on my problem yet?

[bobytt]

@Atak_Snajpera i just want to thank you for the great piece of software you created!

[m4tt8]

@hellgiver

I had the same problem and error as you, I upgraded ffmpeg.exe to the lastest from

http://ffmpeg.arrozcru.org/autobuilds/

and that solved the problem for me, hope this helps :)

[hellgiver]

@m4tt8

Thanks a lot, I've got it running a conversion of the problem file right now, only issue is Ripbot wouldn't let me convert from FLAC to AC3, I'll have to do it manually with eac3to then use mkvmerge to create the final .MKV

I will post my results after the conversion is complete ~12 hours.

A little resolution error in RipBot

This little error is very frustrating as it keeps you switching between two settings. See this screenshot below.

http://i.imgur.com/1lCYL.png

To get all your videos/encodes autoresolutioned to 480*XXX, you have to first select the PSP.iPhone 480x272 [XXX:X] Then after that select the 2nd bottom one (B in the screenshot above); Custom [XXX:X] So now the good thing is every time you load a video, it'll be autoresolutioned as said earlier. It works great for a lot of aspect ratio EXCEPT 16:9 and the 4:3 types. If I load in a 16:9 one, the resolution will be autoresolutioned to 480x270 not, 272 and the same thing for 4:3, it'll become something like XXX*480. The 480 became the width. Can you fix these two to output the followings?

output 360x272 for 4:3
output 480x272 for 16:9

16:9 = 1.78:1
4:3 = 1.33:1

Because of this, I always have to open the resolution config window to select PSP.iPhone 480x272 [XXX:X] for 16:9 videos so it'll have full resolution and not just 270 width. I understand 480x272 is a good resolution for the aspect ratio but why leave 2 pixels out? Nobody will notice it, even if a pro does notice it, he won't care as it feels the screen!

EDIT: It'll be always a great thing if the RipBot remembers my previous Color Tweak settings. So this config window will never be needed to open again as long as you're converting same videos repeatedly xD

Regards

[Atak_Snajpera]

PSP.iPhone 480x272 [XXX:X] this is just a preset for PSP. If PSP didn't crop two bottom lines then I would just use 480x270 resolution without addborders. Is there any particular reason why you don't use PSP preset?

It'll be always a great thing if the RipBot remembers my previous Color Tweak settings. So this config window will never be needed to open again as long as you're converting same videos repeatedly xD
Don't count on it. Imagine situation that you have to use tweak option only once in first job and you forget to disable that option in next jobs. Will you be more happy?

Hi Atak,

The RipBot is giving me the following message below.
"The program can not be started because it is missing Tools / MediaInfo / MediaInfo.DLL on your computer. Try to reinstall it to solve this problem."
Have reinstalled but not resolved..:confused:

Grab the 7 zip package off the front page and extract it to your PC and you can grab what you need. If you can not unzip a 7z file, grab 7 zip here: http://www.7-zip.org/

Also remember Atak does not make an installer that is done by the community. If you are using someone's installer to install all the required components, contact that member and let them know the problem you are encountering so they can look at the installer they created.

[soneca]

I've never used the installer, I prefer the original executable you mentioned.
Again reinstalled ffdshow, avisynth, etc. but the problem continues.

Don't count on it. Imagine situation that you have to use tweak option only once in first job and you forget to disable that option in next jobs. Will you be more happy?

If I use PSP.iPhone 480x272 [XXX:X] even for the 2.40:1 or 2.35:1 aspect ratios, I will get output file that is in correct AR BUT it will have black borders at top and bottom (making 480x272). Aren't we wasting the bitrates in those black borders?

@Color Tweak, well what about this? For portable devices such as PSP, iPod or iPhone videos we should have the color tweaks turned on because it gets dark when view on the devices, so I think it'll be good if the Color Tweak settings can be remember for each video profile and it resets when you choose another video profile.

I don't think there's anyone who keeps changing color tweaks different for each encode.

I don't agree. I NEVER destroy original colors when I encode something for my PSP.

@pacaveli211 cause winrar is not free and Atak only uses 7 zip to zip his software up in for distribution.

@soneca Here is mediainfo folder from my ripbot tools dir. http://www.mediafire.com/file/mnymwwz5wgy/MediaInfo.zip

@ajax below is aTV profile I have been testing. Can you give it a try? It is only minor tweak from Ataks default profile. VBV settings I pulled from handbrake testers and got good results from Transformers at crf 20.


--level 3.1 --vbv-bufsize 9500 --vbv-maxrate 9500 --no-cabac --filter 0,0 --ref 2 --bframes 3 --b-adapt 1 --weightp 0 --b-pyramid none --subme 7 --aq-mode 1 --trellis 0 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,p4x4 --no-8x8dct --me umh

[Atak_Snajpera]

level 3.1 and --vbv-bufsize 9500 --vbv-maxrate 9500 does not make sense at all. You better use 14000 and --ref 3.

[davidsama]

I thought a new version of ripbot was supposed to be released in may. Now it is june and no new ripbot is out.

[hellgiver]

Update:

With new version of ffmpeg I still had stuttering issues for first 30 mins. or so of movie (original is fine). I updated x264 encoder and am running a conversion now, I will post another update afterward.

[soneca]

@soneca Here is mediainfo folder from my ripbot tools dir. http://www.mediafire.com/file/mnymwwz5wgy/MediaInfo.zip

Strange error ...:confused:

[mmmmdonut]

level 3.1 and --vbv-bufsize 9500 --vbv-maxrate 9500 does not make sense at all. You better use 14000 and --ref 3.

Atak thanks for the quick review. Let me start off by saying I'm far from an expert and try to make sense of these parameters and let my eyes do the final judgment.

Using your original profile bufsize 5000 and maxrate 12000 which if I understand this correctly you pulled these values from Apple where max bit rate aTV can handle is 12mbs and buffersize of 5mbs. Using transformers as test I just bumped the bufsize up to 9500 (picked setting from handbrake), reencoded transformers and saw max bit rate jump from 14.x mbs to 18.x mbs. Streaming this file caused the aTV to stutter so I backed down maxrate to 9500 (once again handbrake suggestion) and max bit rate came back down to 14.x mbs and streamed fine.

As for ref frames I agree 3 would be correct value but since aTV relies on QT, the more ref frames the greater the chance at choking QT. Using the default profile which has ref of 1 the output file always ends of with two ref frames. Where it picked up second ref frame I got no idea. I did several different videos just changing ref frames and on one sample found some blockiness that only occurred with ref 3. Since I knew I wanted to test mixed-refs 1 I figured I had to bump ref up to at least 2 to take advantage of that parameter. Early test so far have been good.

Hope that makes sense and appreciate any guidance you might have.

Thx

[Ajax_Undone]

@ soneca I have looked at the installer and have found no error with mediainfo.dll. Something like an AV running on your system might be seeing it as trojan and discarding half of its code (eg the supposed viral bits) when its called.
You might check your av logs and see if this is the case.

@ donut I have given it a try and it seems that the sample and have to agree with Atak.

[soneca]

Thanks for your help Ajax

Already had a look in the reports of anti-virus but KAV is not interfering in that process.
If I can not solve this problem, then format the pc!:(

I don't agree. I NEVER destroy original colors when I encode something for my PSP.

Even when your source is .FLV, .AVI, .MKV or .MP4? I don't think the color are still original once they're in one of the above but I can be wrong. So can you tell me more about why we aren't wasting bitrates on black borders but we still see them?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Does black border contain any details? Does black border contain any moving object? Does border change colors?

You are wrong. Colors must be the same because most of codecs use YV12 color space.

hey everyone !!!

when will appear the new version of Ripbot ???
I'm using the 1.15.1 version , from february , if I remember well

Does the new one come out ???

10x !!!

Just installed fresh Win7 x64 and RipBot264 1.15.1. After demux, it hangs on "Gathering Information..." Win7codecs installed as well. Never had a problem with these two being installed together previously, with the exception of having to install the older Haali splitter to be able to use RipBot264. Win7codecs has to stay, ffdshow+haali is not enough for me.

just use the 32bit version there is virtually no difference in speed as far as mp4box is concerned.

Is there anything we can do to get past the software check? I use Win7codecs and have the latest version installed which has the newest Haali. I needed to modify the registry entry for the ffdshow version so Ripbot264 doesn't complain but I'm stuck with the Haali check.

Any workaround to this? Thanks.

First of all:
Nice release. The DivXPlus - integration is very brilliant, i've done a few tests and this function works very well! So big thanks for that!

But when will RipBot264 accept Java x64 and ffdshow x64? There are no differences for commandline etc. Espacially Java and ffdshow x64 supports 32-bit applications. So there's no need to eclude these both 64-bit versions off the app-check! You only have to erase the "Not installed" messages while starting RipBot!!!

It does not hang. It simply does not show progress. Despite my efforts I still cannot catch progress from tsmuxer. Check older version and you will notice the same. You can also check if tsmuxer.exe is running in Task Manager.

Now that x264 has full blu-ray encoding support (http://git.videolan.org/?p=x264.git;...d723c7d0c9f505), any plans of incorporating these settings as an option?
Why don't you create your own strict Blu-Ray profile?

I don't know if you know that I need everything compiled in 64bit. I mean EVERY single plugin! For example BassAudio is closed source so don't count on x64 version at all. This is just one of examples. AviSynth 64 + haali 64 + ffdshow 64 is NOT ENOUGH!

BTW I uninstalled Haali Media Splitter and even removed all entries in registry and then downloaded latest version and haali is recognized by Ripbot without any problems. If you use codec pack don't ask for help. Period.

needed to modify the registry entry for the ffdshow version so Ripbot264 doesn't complain
do you always like to complicate simple things??? Wouldn't be easier to just install newer version from link provided???

[ajua]

do you always like to complicate simple things??? Wouldn't be easier to just install newer version from link provided???The problem is that I use Win7codecs across all my computers and also on clients so that I can keep tabs on audio/video issues and to make installation and configurations easier.

I just found that your application searches for Install_Dir (HKLM\SOFTWARE\HaaliMkx) when checking for Haali. I just made a registry entry that points to Program Files (x86)\Win7codecs\filters and I could get past the check software screen.

As you seem reluctant (and I can understand why) to provide the check software option that existed some versions ago, would you be so kind to tell me if by just creating that entry to point to where Haali filter is will work without any problems?

Thanks for your time and congratulations for your great application!

If I kill the process or the abort when it hangs during muxing the output AVCHD is incomplete/incorrect in size. 1.15.7 doesn't have this issue.

Atak,

Now that x264 has full blu-ray encoding support (http://git.videolan.org/?p=x264.git;a=commit;h=c6de86497cdd7b7f3cce7d8a95d723c7d0c9f505), any plans of incorporating these settings as an option?

Thanks.

Why don't you create your own strict Blu-Ray profile?

what would 'blu-ray encoding' entitle? profiles (and the bitrate ranges to go with them) higher than 4.0? because I use ripbot to do 'blu-ray encoding' all the time.

Atak is there a way to re-enable to minimize to tray? I really dislike that being disabled (why not make an option to enable / disable it).

are you ever gonna add support for copying HD tracks? or do you just like to ignore everyone's request because you don't want to copy HD tracks? or is it because it's a difficult thing to implement?

[8ternity]

@Atak:
Thanks for the answer about the cover option.

I Have the EXACT SAME ISSUE! But with Inglorous Bastards. I ended up having to download the latest gui version of TS muxer and muxing it myself to finalize the copy.

RipBot will hang during the muxing process.

Small note: There was a bug introduced back in X264 1612 that got fixed in 1614. Might want to update.

Hey Atak, was just wondering I saw the new addition for the iPad "Profile". In terms of the resize there is no choice for the iPad. What do I choose? Thanks in advance. :).

[Shark007]

I install Haali manually to private pathing and several users of my software also want to use your software. Could you tell me exactly what the ripbot program is looking for when it is determining the version of haali installed on a users system? I need to know the specific registry keys and values.

Thanks.

[chylld]

LOVE this program... so easy to use and doesn't boggle my brain with unnecessary settings.

However I just hit a hiccup - Ripbot just finished the end of the second pass and says "Muxing..." with the Windows 7 progress bar at 100%... but it's been stuck like this for HOURS. How do I save it? Are the video/audio files somewhere I can find so I can manually mux them? Would hate to wait for it to encode all over again :( (I'm too afraid to press the "Abort" button)

[Trayman]

They are located in x:\Temp\RipBot264temp\jobx

Where x:\ is the drive you unpacked RipBot and jobx is the job you are encoding.

thanks, however i can only find the demuxed files there not the encoded ones? i was hoping to find a video file around 5-6gb and an audio file around 1gb...

Check in the root of RipBot264temp folder.
Should be an audio.*** and a video.264 there.

Inside you job# folder you should have job#_EncodeVideoPass1.cmd and 2.cmd in one of them you should have somthing like "--output "F:\temp\RipBot264temp\video.264" - : 2"at the en of the command in it and that is where your video file should be if not i think you have to start the process again.

Only if he had 'Keeps jobs queue' enabled, of course. He should just check his ripbot ini and see what output path he originally specified.

P.S. Meanwhile, I'm still merrily on RipBot 1.11.5, LOL. Never gives me any trouble.

[Trayman]

This is a great piece of software and i like it alot the only two things i miss in it are DTS/HD-Audio and Episode support for dvd's.

Thnx for developing it.


Cheers Trayman

[chylld]

haha silly me, my problem was (most probably) caused by me renaming the folder ripbot was in since i was so happy it ripped one movie i was doing some file cleaning up while the second encode was taking place.

pretty confident it'll work flawlessly this time. so easy to use and the output quality is amazing, well done.

I've never used RipBot for audio. I just use eac3to myself, to convert any HD audio -> LPCM, for streaming to my PS3; and then I just use tsMuxeR afterwards to mux my separate audio stream back in.

See RipBot really just as a convenient shell around x264; and it's easy because it creates all necessary avs scripts too. But I never understood why people want to use it for audio.

[Trayman]

I see your point but if you can use one "shell" for the whole process it's good.

[james2432]

I like this application, but one problem I am having is when there are two audio tracks that I want usually Japanese/(English or French) I have to reschedule another job so it demuxes the audio and dumps the video as well, is it possible to select 2 or + audio streams to output into the mkv? or atleast have an option "no video"(demuxes audio) so I could mux the other audio file with mmg

It would be a feature that would save me a lot of time! :thanks:

[TRONDROM]

Can somebody please give me a mid-range quality profile for AVCHD 720 and AVCHD 1080 that is a bit better than the Default Profile with the new 1.6.0 Version, but not so that it's going to take 16 hours to encode a 1080p BD9. I would greatly appreciate it. I'm a noob when it comes to the different changes that each new version of x264 causes. I haven't had any decent profiles in the last three new versions of ripbot. I love the program and want more out of it. So can somebody help a noob out?

@Trayman: see, this is precisely the sort of thing which makes processing audio outside of RipBot so much easier. :) I mean, hontou ni, who goes and creates another whole faux RipBot job, just to demux an audio-stream!? The eac3to command-line interface is very simple, and everything can be prepared in a single command, like:

eac3to 00000.m2ts 3: c:\audio\avatar.pcm 4: c:\audio\avatar_french.ac3 -640

For, say, converting the DTA-MA track to LPCM, and the regular French DTS track to AC3 (just examples, of course). Then, when RipBot is done, you just splice it all together again. Easy-peasy. And you have a whole lot more fine-grained control over the way your audio gets processed.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I just use eac3to myself, to convert any HD audio -> LPCM, for streaming to my PS3; and then I just use tsMuxeR afterwards to mux my separate audio stream back in.
Ripbot264 by default decompress HD audio to LPCM (.wav) so I don't understand why you do this outside GUI???

If you want to maintain the quality does not look for another profile.
RipBot's profile is great, what is missing is more processing power out there ..

Nah. Got r1629 here, and it works just fine.

Also, it's extremely unlikely x264 would itself cause a blue screen or reboots; looks really more like faulty memory, or an overclock that maybe isn't as stable as you thought it was? Also, I've had issues with a crappy SPTD driver that would cause blue screens; but x264 simply doesn't have access really to anything that could cause such a blue death.

I am going to replace r1613 with r1629 and see if that helps it. For whatever reason, I have noticed that x264 never fully maximizes my i7 920. On first pass, I am usually at 40% CPU average amongst the 8 logical cores. Is x264 not multithreaded for 8 logical cores? On my Q6700 machine, first pass maxes out my CPU's 4 cores.

My overclock passed 20 passes on linX and 7 hours or so on Prime before I stopped it, and it has worked just fine on RipBot in the past so...

Keep in mind that hyperthreading made its rentree with the i7 920. So, for 1x logical core is essentially just half a physical core. So your loads are perfectly normal. :)

I still have a Q6700 too, fully stable overclocked at 3.6Ghz. Overclocking an i7 is trickier, though, and they are generally more vulnerable to damage on prolonged OC-ing than the ol' Q6700's we have. Also, "Prime" is not a very good core-stress tester. Try OCCT instead. If you can run the latter, without error, for 8 hours continually, then you're truly stable.

[soneca]

Quad-Core should be enough, don't you think?

I agree, really enough.:)
Depending on the material and the profile used to encode 1080p is really slow!
Avatar for example.:eek:

[r0d]

Damn still have the message : Please wait, gathering information... and nothing happens, as in the 1.15.x versions :(

I know you don't get a perfect doubling with HT, but I expected well over 50% utilization. I mean, 2nd pass will frequently take all 8 logical cores to around 100%. That said, I am thinking about turning off HT and going for a higher OC. Right now I am at 4.2GHz w/ HT. I want to check x264 speeds at 4.4GHz w/o HT.

Oh and my Q6700 was a PAIN to OC. 3.33GHz took wailing and gnashing of teeth! Pretty high VID, and the EVGA mobo it's on has bad vdroop too so...

Hi Atak,

Question: Can ripbot264 import chapters included in the mkv structure? I say many movies now have chapters imported from the original movie. I would like to know if ripbot264 support it on previous version already?

If not, can we send suggestion?

Thanks for your great worK!

Just for info: There is a long time ripbot264 works great for me!!! no trouble issues.

[8ternity]

Quad-Core....:p

Same for me!!! Beter FPS ratio also with Corsair H50 Liquid hydro CPU cooling! 12 degres celcious differences in x86 and 10 degres celcious differences lower with x64 version!

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 3.0MHZ BLACK EDITION.

[Atak_Snajpera]

@8ternity
v1.9.6
Added: Chapters are now demuxed from .mkv ...

[8ternity]

Great. Sorry :rolleyes: !

I submit in the last month about an custom audio delay for dts source, or ac3 contains for ex: 20ms, if we can have a text box to enter the correct "ms". I have some movies sometimes that having 20ms, 220ms,... not to 50ms size counter.

Did you get it and reply to my suggestion?

Thanks.

[Atak_Snajpera]

maximal error is only 25ms. This means that it is almost twice smaller than duration of one frame (23.976 fps = ~42ms). Don't tell me that you see difference ok? ;)

[MickeyNumberEight]

Hi,

Just one question . Is it possible to add PAUSE button ?

P.S.

Swietna robota :) Tez programuje w Delphi .

[Atak_Snajpera]

Pause button won't be very useful because after reboot you would have to start everything from the beginning. However you can always use sleep/hibernation function included in Windows.

[MickeyNumberEight]

Thanks, It just came up with issue, after using sleep. Something went wrong. Will try again, and see if it works.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Don't panic if reported numbers may look weird (ETA or fps for example) . This is normal after sleep/hibernation.

[illestdomer2005]

Atak,

Mine has frozen on "Muxing..." now twice. Any suggestions?

[illestdomer2005]

I Have the EXACT SAME ISSUE! But with Inglorous Bastards. I ended up having to download the latest gui version of TS muxer and muxing it myself to finalize the copy.

RipBot will hang during the muxing process.

Yeah, this is exactly what happened to me on the two LOTR encodes I was trying to do today. And it's not a progress issue. It was frozen on "Muxing..." for over two hours... As long as you don't terminate the encode, you can manually mux with tsMuxer, but I am curious about whether that method maintains the chapter breaks...? Regardless, it's annoying, and I also don't get the overall time it took from start to finish.

Sounds like this is a common bug.

I guess nobody is going to help me out.......:goodpost:

[gambit7]

Problem, ever since I reformatted my PC and reinstalled everything I can remember,
I can't re-encode anymore. Ripbot would mux then finish,
but nothing appears on my output w/c is my desktop.

Tried
Downloading all the latest.
Using older ripbot
uninstall and reinstall all codecs.
reinstall .net4
uninstall and reinstall graphic card forceware.

Really can't re-encode any kind of file.
It always said finished, but nothing ever appears.

[Ajax_Undone]

I guess nobody is going to help me out.......:goodpost:

There in no profile change that will give you a significant speed increase whilst keeping the same quality.

Its mainly pendent on your CPU. Intel's chips are generally faster at encoding speeds then AMD but not by much.

With the current HD films your stuffing a Big Rig Truck into a Compact Car. It will take an arguable amount of time to do.:rolleyes:

Your video card has very little to do with the encoding process so we can safely leave your forceware drivers alone.

The codecs your talking about are they from any type of codec pack?

.net 4 is not important. I think mp4box uses .net 2.0 so that might not have any significant function in this problem.

1.Uninstall all other codecs and codec packs if they exist on your system.
2. Download the latest ripbot264 / latest Java runtime / Avisynth / and latest Haali media splitter and load a smaller video clip into it and see what happens.

If you fallow all the steps above and it doesn't work. Upload your log file found in the ripbot264 directory under Logs and we will see what if anything can be done.:rolleyes:

[gambit7]

no codec packs, always install what the latest revbot recommends.
With additional other codecs

Is the problem are those on the bottom?
How do I fix it?

[SmVueno]

Hello!
I've just signed up here to tell you how much i freaking love this converter GUI you've made Atak.
I've been searching soo long for just a simple converter that can handle a mkv container with ssa subtitle support.
Not a single converter out there can keep the ssa images in it's original shape like RipBot264 does.

And while i'm here, i must ask 2 things...
Do have any plans on making it possible to add mutiple files at the same time, and then just edit mutiple files?
Is there any possibility to make the RipBot264 automatically choose first subtitle it finds in permanent subtitle option, or that it uses some kind of search word that makes it choose just that subtitle that's in the folder it extracted everything to? I really wish that the permanent subtitle choice could be a little more automated...

The reason why i ask this are because there is no real good way to convert multiple mkv files out there with ssa support.
Usually when i want to convert my anime series i have to change the settings for every single file, and this could take hours.
I dont just convert one anime serie at time, i usually convert around 3 at a time.
Many thanks!

[Guest]

The reason why i ask this are because there is no real good way to convert multiple mkv files out there with ssa support. Where do you get these MKV anime files?

[patch1]

few reasons why I need Admin privileges
1) in order to set ffdshow as preffered directshow decoder in windows 7.
2) in order to register missing filters

Above tasks could be done by installer (Nevertheless Admin privileges also would be required) but I prefer simpler solutions like .7z file :)

If you do ever reconsider this decision I would be very grateful.
ripbot264 does just what I want it to when I run it from an administrator account. However that is not a good solution for me.

Multiple people use the computer at home, with varying knowledge. As a basic security measure a single administrator account is used to install software but all regular user accounts do not have admin rights.

Using ripbot264 means either I have to do all ripping myself or I remove the basic user security and spend longer fixing the computer when next something is accidentally deleted, buggy software is installed or a virus has free rain.

ps
In the mean time, what software do people recommend to convert .avi and .mkv files to ipod compatible mp4 format (from non admin accounts)

Rather then crippling your computer with Default M$ cruft, you might try setting up your own rules for a set of admin accounts. using the group policy editor to set your own rules.

And if you really wanted to be lazy in windows vista and 7 you can set it so that program is one of the ones; that any user can run.

[twazerty]

I agree with patch1. Why running software as admin? it doesn't make sense. It is very annoying to click on allow. (Looks like the XP to Vista upgrade where a lot of tools were requiring admin access too) Personally I don't use applications that require admin rights every time they are launched. I would like to see the following solution:
Move the windows register part to another application.
Only the first time you run ripbot: run the application where you do your changes to the registry.
When you start it a second time: don't run the application.

I've chosen for a similar way in AVCHDCoder:
Never ask for admin rights (only for installation). Any decoder changes to the registry are done by direct show filter tweaker. (aka a separate exe)

[Zorro70]

Atak,

Mine has frozen on "Muxing..." now twice. Any suggestions?



same here stuck on muxing for over 6 hours.
ive gone into the ripbot folder and muxed the audio and video myself which worked fine, but isnt ideal.

any workaround atak

thanks for the great program!!!

[Hersha]

thanks for the great program!!!

I get the same error when trying to convert to AVCHD. But it seems kinda random. I seems to happen about half the time I try it. This is on W7 x64 BTW.

Oh and is there any way to make it use more threads? I have one of those 6 core i7 monsters and it feels down right wrong being able to play games while its converting and it not even touch the convert speed.

[Atak_Snajpera]

To all who have problems with AVCHD: You must find a rule why it hangs. For example. If it hangs during muxing stage then kill tsmuxer.exe manually and try to manually execute jobx_MuxFiles.cmd

[Zorro70]

yes it was encoding avchd that it hangs atak, il do your suggested workaround.

just for info im using windows vista ultimate, had no problems with 1.15.1 version.

have only encoded 2 films so far both kept muxing, no big deal as long as you know how to use ts muxer, ts muxer worked on the files inside the temp ripbot folder.!!!


EDIT, tried jobx_muxFiles.cmd and it muxed in the command window to 100%, but on checking my original output folder which was on my desktop there was nothing in there.

Should i have checked the actual ripbot folder using that method???

ive deleted that folder now damn it so cant check.

thanks btw

[Atak_Snajpera]

EDIT, tried jobx_muxFiles.cmd and it muxed in the command window, but nothing showed up when it was done!!!!
show me content of jobx_muxFiles.cmd and tsmuxer.meta

[Zorro70]

show me content of jobx_muxFiles.cmd and tsmuxer.meta



will post it as soon as this one has encoded, about 2 hours from now.

is it possible that it has something to do with the old Haali media splitter we had to use in the other version, im going to update to 1.10.175 when this encode has finished.

il post the stats as soon as possible, if it doesnt mux properly

:thanks:

[illestdomer2005]

To all who have problems with AVCHD: You must find a rule why it hangs. For example. If it hangs during muxing stage then kill tsmuxer.exe manually and try to manually execute jobx_MuxFiles.cmd

The problem is if I go to work and have 3 movies set to encode while I'm gone, I get home to find that one has been trying to mux for the past x number of hours. I guess I will go back to 1.15.1 until an update is issued. Seems like a bug in 1.16.0. Still, it's a great program, Atak!

For reference, I encoded Nacho Libre with no muxing error. I then tried to encode the LOTR trilogy, and all three froze on muxing. All three were set to be DVD-9 size; so, I tried an encode to DVD-5 to see if that was the problem, and it still froze. I don't know what the deal is...

[SmVueno]

Where do you get these MKV anime files?

Well.
Usually anime mkv movies contains karaoke subtitles which usually is .ass or .ssa subtitles.
I am a really big karaoke fan and the experience from the song in the opening and ending disappears when u convert the subtitles to .srt, and that is exactly what other converters do. There is no option at all in other converters to use the ssa or ass subtitle included...

I really hope that Atak would think about my questions, it would really mean a lot for me if something like what i wrote would be added.

[asarian]

Any shell-type program, like RipBot, which uses AVS scripts, should be able to handle .ASS subs just fine. Just manually insert a few lines, like:

Loadplugin("D:\Program Files\RipBot264\Tools\AviSynth plugins\VSFilter\VSFilter.dll")
video=TextSub(video,"C:\video\mf16.ass")

Just be sure to install the required fonts first, of course.

I will respond to this issue!
Sorry for missunderstanding your question, i am tired and didn't read your question properly. I never tried to avoid the question.

I have a lot of anime dvd boxes and everytime i get new ones i download fansubbed subtitle that has karaoke and colored subtitles.
The best subtitles are fansubbed so i just visit fansub pages and download the subtitles (which is not illigaly). My internet speed is really bad and i dont download the animes itself because that will take years (if that's what the warning i got thanks to you suggested).
I support the anime creators so YES I BUY my anime.
To convert my dvd boxes directly from dvd to mkv is pretty easy with River Past Video Cleaner. And then i can just mux in the ssa or ass subtitle. But that's still not the problem here the problem is to get my freaking mkv files to Ipod mp4 with hardcoded ssa or ass subtitle and i dont know how to do that in a simple and fast way that's automaticly done or at least easier than converting every single manually.
I have a copy of every single anime i have in my bookcase on my harddrive (so yes i do own them all) and i want to have them on my ipod too...

Is this good enough for you or do i have to send you photos of my anime collection that i am so proud of!?

Now i'm not just tired, now i'm irritated too.
I am from sweden so i hope people wont be so picky about my spelling and everything.

Thanks a lot for your help! Ur the first one to actually help me here. I am new to AVSfilters so i really dont know how to do these things myself but i will try this. And if this works i could use a extern text editor to edit all temp files at the same time. It should go faster than choosing every single subtitle file for each anime episode.

Sorry everyone for this long post, and again :thanks: Atak for a great Converter GUI!

Why don't you show me jobx_muxFiles.cmd and tsmuxer.meta from LOTR trilogy. If you don't help me with this it will never be fixed. Don't expect miracles.

[microhunt]

Having been reading the forum I have come accross quite a few incidents with people using ripbot under windows 7 64 bit.

I have now found a stable way of getting the software to work perfect 1st install.

1st thing install shark007 video codec open application by right click runas administrator under the config tab go into "FFDshow Video config" tab. Navigate to VC-1 and select wmv9 click ok. Then go to H264 and select "FFDshow with multithreading (Default) leave the other setting as is. Then go to Misc and save all settings. Then do the normal Ripbot264 installation procedure as per forum guides.

You will have no funny errors doing it this way.

Thanks

I have Windows 7 x64 as well and I don't use any codecs and still no problems.

I have downloaded the filw from videohelp.com and your media fire and it says the 7z file can not be opened as a archive.I can't figure out what,because my 7z will open anything else. Just wondering... something different about ripbot264 or how it was compressed with 7z?

Switched to the last Ripbot and now am also having problems at the last stage. (Am using 86x Vista) It gets stuck on Muxing. Sucks big time. Hate that this happens. The biggest question WHY. Switched back to the previous version and that one now does not work at all (since I updated the ffdshow and media splitter). Unbelievable.

You're late to the party. Atak is aware of the issue.

[ajua]

I just finished ripping the Dumbo 70th anniversary Blu-ray and the resulting MKV file was around 3mb oversized and couldn't be burned to a DVD5.
This if the first time I got an oversized file and hopefully it is a one-time thing.

If not, I may rest a little MB to the lock size box to compensate.

[pacaveli211]

are you locking size to 4480?

[Trayman]

Hey Atak, is there a possibility that you could lock the bluray units tray. Since I convert directly from the disc using anydvd and have a little kid with curious fingers that has ejected the disc a few times during demuxing. It would be awesome if you could implement that.


Cheers Trayman

[prettyboy85712]

Problem, ever since I reformatted my PC and reinstalled everything I can remember,
I can't re-encode anymore. Ripbot would mux then finish,
but nothing appears on my output w/c is my desktop.

Tried
Downloading all the latest.
Using older ripbot
uninstall and reinstall all codecs.
reinstall .net4
uninstall and reinstall graphic card forceware.

Really can't re-encode any kind of file.
It always said finished, but nothing ever appears.



no codec packs, always install what the latest revbot recommends.

Re: Ripbot264 administrator privileges requirement
twazerty and illestdomer2005 (see PM) thanks for your suggestions.

Rather then crippling your computer with Default M$ cruft, you might try setting up your own rules for a set of admin accounts. using the group policy editor to set your own rules.

Sorry Ajax, I don't quite understand what you are suggesting here.
Are you suggesting I could change the access on some directories or other objects and ripbot264 would run? (possible I suppose if I knew exactly which objects need to be accessible or modifiable by all users for ripbot264 to run).
Or perhaps you suggest I should run all users as administrators with some privileges removed? (seams a rather a dramatic change to get one program to run).

Actually Ajax, I suspect you are busy enough already without instructing (a new ripbot264 user) me, how to set up his computer. I hope not to distract you from the excellent work you have done on ripbot264.

[Ajax_Undone]

@Patch1

No prob... I was thinking that you create a new group and add the users to that group and make only the things you would like them to access accessible.
Its really quite easy. Plus there are tutorials online like on youtube and other.

I am sure you will figure it out. if you care to.... Meh!

You are wrong. Colors must be the same because most of codecs use YV12 color space.

Thank you for the explanation.

By the way, is the feature I asked in consideration, the button which allows you to append and bind multiple files and outputs one final file.

[MKVCrazy]

What do you do exactly? I need real life example.

Sometimes the videos I convert for my iPod are in way too many pieces but it's rare to get. So I have no choice but convert those many pieces into one file.

For example if an episode is 40mins long then it probably will have 1-6 pieces.

Episode.1.part1.avi
Episode.1.part2.avi
Episode.1.part3.avi
Episode.1.part4.avi
.... and so on

but all adds up only around 200 - 300MB. And there isn't just one episode in the entire series Lol.

Yes, also I have encoded two blu-rays locking to DVD9 size and I fear they might as well be a little oversized too.
Personally I always lock @ 4470 just to be safe.You are right. I will begin locking to a 5-10 mb margin to be on the safe side as well.

[stinman]

I want to know the difference in ref frames,seems default is 3.I have had some movies (bluray) that have 5 sometimes 4.So the more the better,I assume? A default bluray encode will take my pc about 5.5 hrs.Does using more ref frames mean way longer encode? Also does trellis 2 be that much better? I read it makes the encode take way longer,correct? Thanks to who helps!

stinman

[Atak_Snajpera]

3 is optimal. above that starts placebo. your choice. options with higher number will aways take more time. your choice.

[stinman]

3 is optimal. above that starts placebo. your choice. options with higher number will aways take more time. your choice.
I am going on a few that I have down loaded,they had 5 ref frames,the movie was pristine but sometimes that has to do with how well the movie was made in the first place.Bluray from disk is 4 ref frames.I have made pristine bluray encodes with your program at default and about 10gbs.

stin

[asarian]

I want to know the difference in ref frames, seems default is 3. I have had some movies (bluray) that have 5 sometimes 4.
At L4.1, 1920x1080p, the max reference frames allowed (within the Blu-Ray specification) is 4. See Reference Frames (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Reference_Frames). So, it seems unlikely you ever encountered an official Blu-Ray with more than 4 reference frames (though stranger things have happened in this world).

More reference frames isn't necessarily a placebo, but generally the drawbacks outweigh the benefits; there's scenes where up to 16 reference frames could make a difference, but it's often hardly worth the extra encoding time, and would leave your output file unplayable on most hardware. Or software, for that matter. Lots of HD players out there (including TMT and KMplayer) can't even handle an increase in B-frames properly.

So, keeping your reference frames at max 4 for your 1920x108p content is probably your most optimal, overall bet.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I have made pristine bluray encodes with your program at default and about 10gbs.
why don't use crf20 or 18????

i see no problem with your sample.

Any news about the Muxing stalls that are happening with AVCHD encodes?

Any news about the Muxing stalls that are happening with AVCHD encodes?


i am awaiting that reply also, although i realise atak is incredibly busy, infact i dont know how he has enough time to sleep lol

[stinman]

why don't use crf20 or 18????

I don't know,just habit of 2 pass and wanting to control size, after using TsMuxer to mux vid and audio I see what the size was(usually 20/24Gbs movie only) I try to stay close to half the size, and it never fails me to come out with a movie that you can't tell the difference. I always do dvd's with crf20.Blurays I only do the video and mux the HD audio back in after with TsMuxer.
How would you know what size,lock the size in mb just like 2 pass?
I may try one over night,crf 20.

At L4.1, 1920x1080p, the max reference frames allowed (within the Blu-Ray specification) is 4. See Reference Frames (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Reference_Frames). So, it seems unlikely you ever encountered an official Blu-Ray with more than 4 reference frames (though stranger things have happened in this world).

More reference frames isn't necessarily a placebo, but generally the drawbacks outweigh the benefits; there's scenes where up to 16 reference frames could make a difference, but it's often hardly worth the extra encoding time, and would leave your output file unplayable on most hardware. Or software, for that matter. Lots of HD players out there (including TMT and KMplayer) can't even handle an increase in B-frames properly.

So, keeping your reference frames at max 4 for your 1920x108p content is probably your most optimal, overall bet.

Thanks thats very good info.I have got a few mkv's 1920/800 that had reframes-5. and trellis-2 I get this info from "properties" when watching in mpc-hc.When you have a "real" bluray loaded in mpc-hc it always says reframes-4. here is a example:

You're not at max 1080p resolution there (only 800 vertical), so more reference frames are allowed. If you want the precise calculation, have a look here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=150501). Your device may or may not support the use of extra reference frames beyond the formula, but should you ever desire playback on something else, you may be sorry you went too high.

If I go directly from the .m2ts on disc to save myself the ripping time, am I risking errors in the video?

[Ajax_Undone]

No. Well it depends on the encryption of the disc. Are you using an on the fly decrypter like anydvd...

[pacaveli211]

If I go directly from the .m2ts on disc to save myself the ripping time, am I risking errors in the video?

ripbot is just going to demux (i.e. rip) the selected streams into your temp folder anyways. so it's not like you'd be encoding from the disc

[thebasa]

Yeah using anydvd HD with blurays and normally I use the anydvd ripper and then point ripbot at the m2ts on the mounted iso, but it would be cool if I could just read it from disc and skip the ripping step? Is there risk of skips when reading from disc that there wouldn't be reading the ripper-verified complete copy from hard drive?

[Ajax_Undone]

No. you should be ok

[thebasa]

Ok, for some reason I thought it would be frame serving from disc but it demuxes first so I guess a successful demux is as solid an indication of no errors as the ripper copying successfully. Thx

[survivant001]

i see no problem with your sample.

it<s a fresh Widows 7 installation. maybe I have a missing file.. are.. because I split the file, maybe the problem is not in the sample :(

I'll try on another computer

[paxton]

ok, so I just found this piece of software this evening. I've looked around and can't find a good tutorial. I'd like it to use with my BluRay movies. Would someone kindly point me in the right direction. I did get through around 30 pages, but 3 years of postings are difficult to weed through.

[Tazlord]

Hello Atak,
I dont know if this is where I would report a problem with RipBot264 but I noticed that 24fps sources are not automatically converted to 30fps using the iPod/iPhone profile.
Im sure you are aware that iPod Touch and iPhone both require 30fps for video playback. I realize RipBot264 has a speed setting that can be changed in the properties. However, that particular tool uses the AviSynth "AssumeFPS" filter which naturally changes the speed of the video playback.
I believe a better way to change the frame rate without affecting the playback speed would be to use the AviSynth "ConvertFPS" filter which uses a "Blend Mode" by default. It introduces minor motion blur during action scenes but it's very minimal and doesnt affect the quality of the experience as viewed on the portable devices. I tested the filter out on one of the AVS scripts that your tool generates and it seems to work fine AND the video playback speed is not affected.

Please let me know if I am looking at this the wrong way or if I am missing something =)

Thanks!

[gambit7]

@gambit "Input file must be WAV PCM!" Check your jobx temp directory to see what extension is on audio.xxx. If .flac then dont check the flac check box on the audio selection screen.


is it "1_audio_Undetermined.aac" ?

That's the only thing I saw there.



I don't understand the wavpcm and the audio selection screen.
If not much trouble, please show me what it is w/ screenshots.

EDIT

It seem if I changed it into Base3.0 profile, I can't re-encode.
I was always using base4.0.
I'll ty figuring out what's wrong, but help is still needed and would be appreciated.

[futurex]

Is there a way to make Ripbot encode the audio and video simultaneously? On longer files it can take 10 minutes and up to encode the audio since it's only using one CPU core, before the video encoding actually starts.

[essential]

i read through a lot of this thread and didn't see this question so forgive me if it has been asked.

on ripbot 1.15.1 when i load my video in, in the lower left hand corner it says, "please wait, indexing video stream."

main issue:
on the newest version, 1.16.0 nothing happens. when i load my video it doesn't say anything in the lower left hand corner, and my video never loads. i've left it for a long time hoping it would eventually load. i'm back to 1.15.1 for now. is this a known issue? is there a fix?

secondary question:
also, this is a preference question. is there a general rule when encoding 1080p down to 720p, do you keep the DTS 5.1 or go down to the 640kpbs? i've been going down to the 640kbps because the video kbps seems so much higher, but i didn't know if the general rule is to keep 5.1 DTS?

thanks.

[stryker412]

I have a show that is VC1, and I'm converting the mkv from 1080 to 720. All the episodes except one went through fine using 1.16.0. For this one episode I kept getting avs2yuv.exe crashing. I switched back over to 1.15.1 and it went through fine. Any ideas?

[Guest]

I have a show that is VC1, and I'm converting the mkv Where did you get the source file?

[stryker412]

Where did you get the source file?

Straight from my BD.

[pacaveli211]

also, this is a preference question. is there a general rule when encoding 1080p down to 720p, do you keep the DTS 5.1 or go down to the 640kpbs? i've been going down to the 640kbps because the video kbps seems so much higher, but i didn't know if the general rule is to keep 5.1 DTS?

thanks.

that's up to you. I would say DTS has a more full, lifelike sound and therefore should be kept. Atak would say it's a waste of space and you should use AC3. AC3 will take up a lot less space as it's 640kbps vs DTS which is generally 1509/1536 kbps (that's why your bitrate with AC3 is so much higher at the same target size)

[stasi]

Hey Atak,
I have some AVI files here with two audio tracks. When I import the file in Ripbot, it only demuxes the second audio track, not the first. The first is german, the second english. I only need the german stream. Is the error caused by FFMPEG or is there something missing in the command line?

[Denner]

I am also having the AVCHD muxing problem (after switching to the new RipBot264 v1.16.0 ) when re-encoding my Blu-Ray's to AVCHD.

Converting to .mp4 for my iPad is working fine and I also tried encoding a Blu-Ray to .mkv and no problem there either, so I guess I will have to go back to an older version to solve the problem and wait for an update that solves the AVCHD muxing bug ?

I know that I can abort RipBot while muxing and mux manually, but I was really happy with the option to have the RipBot shut down my computer when it was done :)

Thanks for a great program Atak_Snajpera, I have been using RipBot for the past year, and this is the first time I am having any problems, so I am very impressed with RipBot and stability in general :)

Keep up the great work :)

Best Regards
Denner

[Washka]

I`m using latest RipBot and when making x264 v1.16.0 and when encoding movies to 1280 x 5xx first pass using like no more than 20-30% cpu and second pass no more than 65-80% on my Intel core quad 8300 @3Ghz. I also uncheck that low priority button and still encoding first pass with only 7 fps and second pass 6 fps :(

Should i replace x264.exe with core2 optimized code?

edit: i try replaced and didn`t help

[gigirex]

Hello everybody!
I had the chance to appreciate Atak's nice app.
Only one problem: how to preserve automatically the original quality?
The source file bitrate was 19Mb, but the resulting output bitrate was only 4mbits.
I have attached the Mediainfo report from the source and the output file.
Thanks for every help
