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

[stasi]

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 :(



1. Which profile are you using?
2. Which program shows 20-30% usage?
3. Check your ripbot.ini:

Usex264x64=1

I'll try to find out more next time it crashes like that. It's odd because I was able to do 8 more episodes last night using 1.16.0 with no crashes at all.

Hi Atak, thanks for this great gui.

but after 1.16.0, the new Win7 progress bar function makes it unable to minimize to tray icon in Win7.:confused: Is there any way, or an option, to re-enable this? I think tray icon is a good way to prevent closing an app accidentally also keep the taskbar clean. (especially it takes a lot time to encode HD x264 video)

[Atak_Snajpera]

how can you accidentally close app??? Upss! Right-click on taskbar icon and again ups! left-click on Close Window?!?!?

Tried running it in Windows XP Compability mode ? That's what i do with Live Messenger.

Hi Atak,

i know you can't hear that anymore but i've got the "Gathering Information ..." - Bug since 1.16.0 (even in 1.16.1).
I've tried every step discribed in this thread. Took me a lot of time to find related replies.
So i've deinstalled EVERYTHING what has to do with video-decoding, -encoding or playback. I've enabled and disabled DXVA-Support, tried some Haali - Versions .... Nothing worked for me! So is there a small workaround to avoid that hanging on "Gathering Information..." ?

The Video-Stream is a VC-1 - Stream. Maybe i find a BD with another format to test.

My System:
- ffdshow_3466_clsid 32-bit
- Haali from 20/05/2010
- Avisynth 2.5.8
- Java 6 Update 20

Edit:
- Haali pops up and then disappears on "Gathering Information..."
- RipBot264 1.15.1 still works with every Haali-Version
- want to use 1.16.x cause of DivXPlus - support (owned it)

[klopsknoedel]

problem still remains even on non-VC-1 Tracks. So it doesn't matter if it's a VC-1 Video or not!

To benjyv;

Your private message can't get sended to you about an setting that you've check for not receiving private message. I send you my reply here.


Hi ,

as you can see , I've posted a similar question to Atak regarding the use of that Cover option..

His answer was a printscreen with 2 pics...

Did you understood what he wanna say ??

Where can we use that option ??
and for what it is ???

I've tried twice to use it , and I don't know HOW to visualize the cover , and what is for ???

Thanks in advance for explanations !!! :thanks:

regards !!

Hi, Has what he explain to me it's for when you browse with windows explorer, normally you see an movie icon, but if you put cover, when you browse you will see the cover or image that you upload.

Regards,.. 8!

1. Which profile are you using?
2. Which program shows 20-30% usage?
3. Check your ripbot.ini:

Usex264x64=1

Profile is default which came with RipBot ([HIGH 4.0] HD . BluRay . Consoles), i didn`t change any settings except bitrate to fit on 1 DVD-R and x.x copy stream audio
Usex264x64=1 is in ini also, but i`m using Win 7 32bit.

Program is working very nice, i transcoded some of my movies from 7 GB to 4.7 very nice but it`s so slow :(
I check CPU usage in task Manager. All 4 core are on ~25-35% in first pass and 65% in second

Here is a image, first peak is when pass 1 started and second is when pass 2 start.

It auto defaults to the 32bit x264 if the bit pattern is incorrect for the given OS architecture.

[tormento]

Atak, any hint about a x64 porting and .dgi support?

[Denner]

v1.16.1
Added: support for .webm
Fixed: hanging during muxing to AVCHD
Updated: mkvtoolnix 4.0.0, x264 r1643

Thanks, will be testing it today :)

The output filename problem.

There is a small issue with swedish characters åäö and ÅÄÖ they become something else when the file is muxed. I believe it has something to do with utf-8. Since the filename is correct in MuxFiles.cmd

Then the output removes "." lets say i have an episode of 24 and i'd like to call it 24 - S01E01 - 12.00AM - 1.00AM it becomes 24 - S01E01 - 12 00AM - 1 00AM.
"F:\Progs\RipBot264v1.15.1\tools\mkvtoolnix\mkvmerge.exe" -o
"C:\Users\Trayman\Desktop\24S01E01 - 12 00AM - 1 00AM.mkv" --title "24S01E01 - 12 00AM - 1 00AM"

this is possible to fix by editing the MuxFiles.cmd and then mux manually but it's not optimal.

I usually use Ripbot to resize a blu-ray to fit on two-layer dvd and it always works well, but tried to resize for one-layer dvd yesterday and the final folder turned out to be oversized by 9Mbs and would not fit. Is it common or not?

Is it common or not?Version 1.16.0 gave me an oversized encode too. It was around 3mb or 4mb larger than the target which was DVD5.

Since then I started to lock the size subtracting 10mb from the desired size just to be safe. You should do that and post again if it still outputs oversized encodes.

I have the same problem with german characters. For example I want to rip a file to "Kannibalen auf Föhr.mkv", the output file will be "Kannibalen auf F÷hr.mkv". I think this is not caused by mkvtoolnix, when I manually mux the file, the filename is correct as I set it (no ÷ for ö).

[digib]

Hi Atak, I'm having a repeat of the problem described previously here http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1361387#post1361387

I don't know why it happens randomly but now I'm just adding one project to the queue and ripbot says NO AUDIO in the settings.

I have this issue only when I try to compress videos from my canon ixus photo camera, which records avi MJPEG video and mono pcm audio. From any other video format ripbot loads the audio track correctly.

Mediainfo reports this from the audio track
Audio
Format : PCM
Format settings, Endianness : Little
Format settings, Sign : Unsigned
Codec ID : 1
Codec ID/Hint : Microsoft
Duration : 1s 700ms
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 705.6 Kbps
Channel(s) : 1 channel
Sampling rate : 44.1 KHz
Resolution : 16 bits
Stream size : 146 KiB (5%)
Interleave, duration : 46 ms (1.38 video frame)
Interleave, preload duration : 500 ms

And you can download a 50 fps sample to test by yourself here http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qewmnzykko2

In the past I have run other software to play and compress this kind of videos, like virtualdub or autogk with no problems, so I guess it may be a little bug in your software or maybe in ffdshow or any other part parameters.

Thank you very much

hi,
could anybody help me with the "Gathering Information..." - Problem? I've tried 1.16.1, 1.16.0, 1.15.1 and 1.15.0. The problem occures on every version.
I've deinstalled every sofware from my PC which contains codecs like, "Media Player Classic", "Media Coder", "XMedia Recode" and so on. Then i've performened a registry-clean to get rit of the codec-entries. Then i only installed ffdshow 32-bit, AviSynth 2.5.8, Haali Media Splitter 20052010 and Java 6 Update 20 32-bit! BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. I don't know why. All worked for years, but now it hangs on "Gathering Informations...".

Hey Atak

quick question: Will it be possible in a future release to add a job while encoding? It takes a long time for me to add 24 episodes to the queue list, in this time one episode can be finished encoding.

[Hersha]

Wooo! Thanks for the mux fix Atak. Time to start ripping once again!

Frankly I have no time for this. I have other gui to finish.

[rcrh]

I second that. That would be brilliant.

I know this is old but I don't think it's mean addressed. The original request was for an option to add the AC3 track as a second audio track in the finished MP4 file.

Is that possible so that the files are both compiled for Apple and still leave the AC3 track for other players?

Thanks.

Yes i tried that version and there is no change! I use RipBot on a Windows 7 x64 machine for nearly one year and it ever worked. But now, everything i do, it hangs!

EDIT:
Now i've reinstalled Windows 7 on a complete erased HDD (formated my drive) and again it hangs on "Gathering Information ..." What's wrong here? It's a little bit depressing!

@Stasi
I've ran every *.cmd in the job-folder and everyone did his job without any errors. So thanks again for your help so far!

Hi,
that didn't work either. But I realy don't know why because i have this problem in all other RipBot-Versions too. I use RipBot for over 1 year and it ever worked but now it doesn't and the configuration of my PC is still the same.

Which software-versions do you all use? Is something like a special .NET Framework requiered for any of the RipBot-Tools? Or could other things be wrong?

@8ternity
Big thanks for your try!!

have you tried a different / older FFDShow?
if you haven't make sure you uninstall current one before doing so

[MaistroX]

Hi!

Is there possible to edit anywere around RipBot so that the outcome of the subs get exactly were I want them to be in the end?
I mean like setting a X and Y possition for the subs so it get´s remuxed like that! :)

im encoding anime with ripbot from mp4 to mkv,,, it detects wrong fps and audio is out of sync the whole time,,, ive uploaded sample and the encode!!
would you mind adding a batch encoding option it would be really helpful.

http://www.mediafire.com/?m5lzmzwmjjn

http://www.mediafire.com/?zt2muzqyjlz

[Atak_Snajpera]

Modify script
video=DirectShowSource("C:\Users\Dawid\Desktop\Naruto_Shippuuden_91_[480p][SAMPLE].mp4",audio=false,fps=23.976).ConvertToYV12()

or remux mp4 to mkv with forced 24000/1001 fps

I really don't understand WHY people encode to VFR???? for god sake!!

[asarian]

Try this:

Go into Ripbot264.ini;
Remote data from theses values:

DefaultProfile=[HIGH 4.0] HD . BluRay . Consoles
DefaultEncodingMode=
DefaultModeValue=


And retry... please let me know result.
It's beyond me why you would think your suggestion would at all work. 'DefaultEncodingMode' and 'DefaultModeValue' are used to be parsed as parameters to the encoder, x264 (like '--crf 16'). At the "Gathering information" stage nothing is being encoded yet.

If you want a culprit, look for the Avs2avi process RipBot seems to be using: that's a far more likely candidate (or, indirectly, haali or ffdshow versions). But x264, at least, has nothing to do with it.

Q: What does 4.1 profile do over 4.0 and would 4.1 be better for working with HD DVD/Blu Ray discs?
A: According to wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264#Levels) maximum bitrate in 4.0 high profile is limited to 25Mbps. 4.1 is limited to 62.5Mbps. That's all!

You can use Win7DSFilterTweaker_3.2.exe to SET what will be default codec for windows so you don`t need to uninstall them all and you can experiment with them, etc.

I only use RipBot264 to calculate encoding bitrates, owing to its usually reliable estimator, but lately I've noticed that it doesn't work very well at all if I include an audiotrack such as DTS@1510kbps. I've assumed that bitrate is not included in Atak's calcs perhaps, since he doesn't use it at all himself afaict.

In any case what audiotrack type did you use when you got the oversize?

[pacaveli211]

i've installed the new ffdshow which came out today. Problem remains. I will try older one. But you maybe have the latest ffdshow installed and RipBot works?

[8ternity]

@8ternity
Big thanks for your try!!

No problem. I have that issue in previous version. I was trying this and it have worked. I've wrote "2 Pass" and it was given that issue instead of "2-Pass".

The last issue i have tried is to installed the 3 softwares requirement in a order.

Try this:
- Uninstall everything.
- Reboot

Install softwares in that order:
1. Avisynth 2.5.8 stable version;
2. Haali Mastroska (recommanded version from Atak_Snajperaè
3. FFDSHOW (clsid rev) *latest*
4. Installation Ripbot in the c:\ripbot264\*.*

5. Configure ffdshow video; VC-1 config to WMV9.

Reboot, and try!

Give me some news again.

Thanks.

[klopsknoedel]

Hi 8ternity,

could you please give me your address. I just want to send a pressentbasket.
Just want to say it worked!!! Great thanks for that. I can't imagine why the order of installation was that important. Again, thanks for that and have a nice day!

That was only a AC3 640kbps track. Nothing special to miscalculate. Had to dowgrade it to 448kbps later to fit on one layer without reencoding the whole thing again.

[Atak_Snajpera]

At the moment I suspect problem with accuracy in x264 encoder. Last night I encoded BD Avatar -> AVCHD (720p, AC3 640kbps). Calculated bitrate was 2966 kbps but I got 2973 kbps! So instead of <4480 i got 4483MB!

I encounter the same oversizing problems since I upgraded from r1352 to r1583 in AVCHDCoder. I don't get many oversizing reports. Only a few. Mostly somewhere between 2 and 8 MB oversizing.

[laserfan]

Well, FWIW in my case I was not referring to x264 not matching the desired bitrate; it has hit-or-been-slightly-less for me always. I was instead referring to the final muxxed output from tsMuxeR.

It seems that RipBot's calculator chooses a too-high bitrate for x264 to use, if including a DTS@1510 audiotrack (COPY STREAM).

[rendez2k]

How long should the "please wait.... initializing" take to end when you begin an encode on average? Its been sat there for around 30 mins now. Running Win 7 64bit, 2.66 Quad Core...

[fAy01]

Modify script
video=DirectShowSource("C:\Users\Dawid\Desktop\Naruto_Shippuuden_91_[480p][SAMPLE].mp4",audio=false,fps=23.976).ConvertToYV12()

or remux mp4 to mkv with forced 24000/1001 fps

I really don't understand WHY people encode to VFR???? for god sake!!

what do you mean or could you explain how to use x264 instead of vfr!

Once again I encoded Avatar but this time I used DTS-Core 1510kbps. Resulted size was 4479,5 MB.

[Abdur Rafi]

:thanks: for your update.....

[soneca]

In the few AVCHD discs which have done (always with AC-3) are getting the right size = 4,36GiB.

[laserfan]

Once again I encoded Avatar but this time I used DTS-Core 1510kbps. Resulted size was 4479,5 MB.Well that's about perfect isn't it. :cool:

Thanks for reviewing this question. I'll look for my problem elsewhere... :)

[dvgeek]

.......//.....
Why don't you create your own strict Blu-Ray profile?
......//......



I did but there are some hard coded x264 parameters that I have to change every time - like

"--keyint 240 --min-keyint 24"

whereas I prefer "--keyint 24 --min-keyint 2"

Thanks.

[ajua]

Once again I encoded Avatar but this time I used DTS-Core 1510kbps. Resulted size was 4479,5 MB.I have ended up with 2 oversized encodes (locked to DVD5). Both with COPY STREAM for audio and they were about 3-5mb too big.

I don't think it has to do with DTS-core or not because one of my two oversized encodes used AC3 640kbps.

Could it be the version of the x264 encoder? While this is sorted out I keep a margin or 10mb just to be safe. Thanks.

[Atak_Snajpera]

why don't you check logs if set bitrate is the same with encoder's bitrate.

[benjyv]

Hi Atak ,

I'm encoding at least 2 files / day , and regarding the audio files , when select a DTS file to be encoded , the result will be - each time - an AC3..
Only ONE time a DTS file encoded and resulted a DTS encoded files and I didn't understand WHY ???

Which is the trick or the..secret ???
It requires different setings ???
The original DTS files should have special caracteristics to be encoded and resulted as ...DTS too ???

[pacaveli211]

you're probably not [always] selecting the xx copy stream option

[benjyv]

OK , probably....

But where is this option ??? ( xx copy stream option ) I cannot find it :(

PS : ATAK ????

I SEE YOU'RE ONLINE...PLS , CAN YOU SOLVE MY PROBLEM ???

THANKS A LOT !!!

[soneca]

If you do not want conversions, use the Eac3to and More GUI to extract the core tracks contained in the DTS HD MA and HI RES.

[benjyv]

@soneca

Maybe you don't understand me....I wanna use just Ripbot , not other softs for encoding and getting DTS files after encoding....

someone here told me about " selecting the xx copy stream option ".....

I don't know where is this option :(

that's my problem

[laserfan]

It's right under the audiotrack selection, as one of the options in the Profile drop-down. If you don't see such a thing then maybe your audio is corrupt or something.

[benjyv]

like this ???

http://i46.tinypic.com/2h863gk.jpg

or is in other place ????

[Hyrax]

Benjyv-
Another thing to consider... I believe that you cannot "xx copy stream" if you're creating an MP4. I know that was true in older versions, but am not sure about the 1.6 releases.

I didn't get any sleep last night and, perhaps I'm just feeling grumpy today, but your 'clever' avatar is really irritating to those like myself who look for responses from Atak_Snajpera. I gotta tell you that simply because of your avatar, I certainly would not help you if I were him.

[benjyv]

@Hyrax

I'm NOT creating an MP4....I wanna encode BD to 720p , i.e. mkv files...

Regarding my NEW avatar , it's true : you'r sleepy and grumpy , nobody ask your opinion concerning this avatar , so pls , continue to talk to walls !!!! :)

and a lil advice : when you're sleepy , try do not be OFF topic and do not answer to questions addressed others...

Many thanks soneca !!!!!

I'll check it and tell you the results :D:))

Unfortunatelly that option is available ONLY for AVCHD as you can see in these pics :

http://i50.tinypic.com/2gwxobo.jpg

http://i45.tinypic.com/wupfg7.jpg

so....for MKV option , how can I activate that xx copy stream ???

[Zorro70]

X.x.copy stream doesnt always show up instantly, i usually have to check avchd before it becomes available as an option


you may be looking for it BEFORE you do this, and so missed it!!!

[benjyv]

@Zorro70

You suggest me to check FIRST AVCHD , then select xx copy stream and after that to select .mkv and it will appear ???
did I correct understood ???

[soneca]

I know of no other method.
Extract the core using eac3to or will have to convert the DTS-HD MA/HI RES for AC-3!!!

[SuicideUZI]

If you are using BD-R media where space isn't an issue from most .mkv files is it possible for ripbot to detect if the .mkv needs to be re-encoded to be compatible with blu-ray players and if it doesn't then just output to the AVCHD file structure without re-encoding?

[benjyv]

@soneca

No , that's the simple way you've told me...I knew it...I wanna use Ripbot , not other auxiliary softs to obtain DTS files....
There must be a secret , a trick , but Atak don't wanna tell us :(((((((((((((((

Atak ???

at least tell us what conditions or circumstances that option are openning ????

I don't thanks you 'coz I know you wouldn't answer me ;-)

Chill out, benjyv, or strikes will follow. Telling people to shut up is not appreciated here. Thank you.

if you are using bd-r media you want to use bluray structure not AVCHD structure (there are hardly any differences but the things that are different seem to be of significance). and I don't know about you but I like to keep the original HD audio on mine. currently you can't do that through ripbot. you can only copy the PCM/decoded track (which takes up more space than DTS or TrueHD). I don't know why your source is mkv though http://i45.tinypic.com/hwdcli.gif but at mkv you usually need to be around 19GB to fit a BD25 (I assume you mean 25 as there wouldn't be any guessing or question of fitting if it were a BD50)

I think it might extract the core if you demux the dts track or something. I remember it doing it under some circumstances. but the best solution is just to use something like tsmuxer and demux the core, then don't choose an audio track in the first stream selection screen. after it's setup the video part just browse for your demuxed DTS.

[Ajax_Undone]

THANK you , too @neuron2 !!!!!!


can you help me ??
to solve my problem ???

The option you want is NOT available for what ever reason. So you must adapt and use the tools suggested to get the result that you are looking for.

RipBot264 is only a GUI front end for a mass of tools that work just fine independently.
If the GUI doesn't support what you want. You can ask the author to support it as a feature.
If he says no. Then you can always use the tools independently to accomplish what you need.

A question was asked about multiple audio tracks a few versions ago. The author did not want it as a feature so it was never added.
As dismayed as it made the person(s) that wanted it as a feature; they respected that the author of the program did not want that as part of his program.

Now it may be that this will be supported in future versions, but the chances are slim. If you want more options there are only two ways you can you can go about getting them.

(1.) Use the tools independently to yield the result you want.
OR
(2.) Use a different GUI front end that will support what you need like MeGUI.

[benjyv]

Perfectly understood ..

Many THANKS @Ajax_Undone !!!

Any chance of getting the option to stream copy the video and only encode the audio? I have a lot of TV shows that already have the proper video encoding on them and just want to down mix the audio so I can stick it on my iPad. I have yet to find a program to do this simply and it would be awesome if ripbot could.

Thanks and awesome software!

Would use it if I knew how. Dont understand the syntax to get it to go from 5.1 AC3 to stereo AAC LC 128 Kbps. Its something like "eac3to input.ac3 output.aac -down2 -mixlfe"... Thats as far as I can figure out.

Try using a program like PopcornMKV which will allow you to alter the audio track in an MKV without touching the video. Here is a writeup I did (It is from last year so apologies if it is outdated)

[Cartman]

with 1.16.1 you updated to mkvmerge 4.0.0, which seems not to mux the VOBSUBs default track flag although set.

I reverted back to 3.4 and muxed again. With the old version the flag is set successfully.

This problem attracted my attention when playing with VLC where no subs were displayed since using using RipBot 1.16.1.

Bug with mkvtoolnix or some feature I don't know of?

I think this was noted on the mkvtoonlix site that a change was made with subtitle handling in 4.0.

You can see discussion here - http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1405881#post1405881

[Cartman]

Thanks for the hint. mkvmerge does not write values into the mkv header that are default anyway. So, is it a sole problem with the various media players that rely on the old behavior and did not handle the default values although specified by mkv?

Frankly I have no time for this. I have other gui to finish.

Any part of software I should focus in? What component/s uses ripbot in the process of demuxing audio?

It's obvious if you demux OK and I get that NO AUDIO line there is some component is not doing the job fine for ripbot ...

Thank you

[8ternity]

Hi 8ternity,

could you please give me your address. I just want to send a pressentbasket.
Just want to say it worked!!! Great thanks for that. I can't imagine why the order of installation was that important. Again, thanks for that and have a nice day!

I Really dont know. I've give that information to atak and atak was testing to install in every order. But personally i was using an french windows 7 genuine. Before i was in 120 days trial of windows 7. It's make me that issue more than 1 year. could that order can be an issued about windows version language?

I could'nt told you why it's make this and how i think to try this, but it worked. I saved that file into my bluray program folder so if i have that issue again,...

Great to help you with this.

For my email address, used the "PM" and send me an email and i will reply to it. :cool:

enjoy!

[8ternity]

Not supposed to take that long. 2-3 minutes max depending on the computer speed, hard disk speed, etc.

Well that's about perfect isn't it. :cool:

Thanks for reviewing this question. I'll look for my problem elsewhere... :)

Personnally i was having the issue that if i set 4480 for DTS audio tracks, all the time the output projects are too large to burn it on a 4,7GB. i was set an 4425 MB size to fit them on a dvd5 and 8125 for DVD9 size. I should try again if that issue is not corrected in newer version. Since 1.10.X i was having that issue with all DTS audio tracks. If i was using AC3, sizing to DVD5 and DVD9 is correct.

hi all

I use tsMuxeR_1.10.6 to demux video from BlueRay, but in many cases the out file is just vc1 file (instead of .264 file)

But I can't add this .VC1 file to RipBot (RipBot264v1.15.1) because it is not listed as the supported file...

What should I do?

Please advise me if You use the RipBot and You managed to pass this step with vc1 files

(i just started new topic about this in general discusion ;/)

[Atak_Snajpera]

just open any .m2ts directly from BD in ripbot (make sure that AnyDVD HD is running in background)

[czahor]

thanks Snajper for prompt response. I have allready done that and demuxing process passed well but the timeout appered ;/

And it always happens :(

[Atak_Snajpera]

Hi 8ternity, thanks for supporting.

Yes, I have tried redoing the project, it's an issue I have for some months, when prior to the last windows XP reinstallation worked well. That's why I dont doubt it should work well and the problem is in some part of Ripbot external applications like ffdshow, avisynth... don't know.

Ts muxer reports error when open these kind of files, I guess it is because it is not an mkv or ts, instead it is an .avi

If I pick the same file compressed with autogk, which is xvid video and mp3 audio, ripbot works fine. It has to be something related to the monochannel PCM audio track. In previous posts I showed what mediainfo logs from the audio track:

just open any .m2ts directly from BD in ripbot (make sure that AnyDVD HD is running in background)
Which brings me back to a question which I believe has been asked many times (and probably been equally ignored, lol); but why does Ripbot always insist on remuxing the entire input file to a mkv? x264 doesn't need it (it will just take whatever DirectShowSource or FFVideoSource is willing to parse via AviSynth). So, why not make it optional to allow direct usage of the input file people specify? (like an m2ts elsewhere on disk). Would save so much excess disk-thrashing!

[Atak_Snajpera]

Movies are often divided in multiple .m2ts files. eac3to is able to find correct order and merge them in one easy to encode .mkv. So as you can see it is faster to just select .m2ts directly.

I also have the same problem with videos produced by Canon cameras, the problem is that stupid audio track.
Including multiAVCHD also did not accept but the Dean has a fix that.

Need some help with black lead in.

I have a DVD(purchased recently) main movie rip of Twilight Saga New Moon. I used StaxRip to do an Xvid backup of the movie and found out the audio was way out of sync. Black lead in was causing it to be out of sync. I used DGIndex to demux the audio and saved the corrected audio and .d2v file, and then I copied and replaced the audio and .d2v file in the StaxRip temp folder. A/V were in sync, and the movie played good.

Tried to do the same thing with RipBot by copying and replacing the corrected audio and .d2v file, but I can't get it to work. When I use the preview script function within RipBot, all I see I is a reddish looking bunch of junk lol.

How can I make it work? Thanks for the help!

Did you try to select .vob in ripbot264 instead of .d2v?

[Guest]

He needs to start his project in by a few GOPs. Will RipBot let him do that?

i open the ts file have same error,i use window7 x64

[Mr. Monte]

Atak,

I am currently encoding for my new iPad. A couple of the programs/GUI's I have allow me to boost audio volume while converting the DTS/AC3 to LC AAC. I see the normalize drop-down you have (100% or 200%).

Question..is that a true normalize in the sense that it is a compressor...or is it a audio boost setting that just increases volume, keeping same dynamic range?
If so, 100% would be no boost?...Also, user can not adjust those values from your two presets.

Could a volume boost feature be implemented?

Thanks

@snippits
Did you try to select .vob in ripbot264 instead of .d2v?

Hi,

I just processed all the vobs with RipBot normally, and then I directly used DGIndex to fix the the black lead in, and then took the DGIndex saved audio and .d2v file and copy and replaced what was in the RipBot temp folder. And yes I did follow the RipBot file naming such as job1.d2v. Doing the above worked with StaxRip doing an Xvid encode.

@neuron

Yes, I was skipping GOPS. And it worked wonderfully. Thanks! I don't even know what GOPS is lol. I just followed the directions for the fix when I was notified by the popup about the audio being abnormal(662752ms). And then after the fix the audio was -243ms which solved my A/V sync problem using StaxRip for the Xvid encode.

I am new at encoding, so hopefully I provided enough information. Thanks for all the help!

I just saw that your windows look like in other language of English? Did your windows language is different then English?

[Atak_Snajpera]

@Mr. Monte
Normalize 100% increases volume to safe maximum volume (dynamic range is preserved). Everything above is not recommended because it causes distortion in sound. 200% was only added for PSP users because internal speakers are very weak.

new version will check and force Haali media splitter for supported extensions (.ts .mts .m2ts .mp4 .mov and so on)

[Trayman]

Hey Atak!

Would appriciate support for ÅÄÖ and dots in the output file name.
I wrote about this issue a while back but since i didn't get a heads up on the issue so i bump it.

Another issue that has come up is that some bluray's dont have a language speciefied for the subs (Two so far of 37 ripped bluray's) it would be great if there where a preview option available so you don't need a third party app for checking the language of the sub.

Other than that i'm happy with this great gui the only thing that would be more awesome is a copy of the source code but i understand why you keep that to yourself :)

Cheers Trayman

This post is in reference to my my first post(#8107) about black lead in.

Preliminary results suggests that I finally got the A/V sync issue caused by black lead in fixed. A/V sync looks good now when using the RipBot preview script.

Here is what I did. I used Ripbot normally to process the vobs. Then I used DGIndex to skip GOPS and fix the black lead in. Saved the .d2v file and then renamed it to job1.d2v, and then copied and replaced to the RipBot temp folder. Did not edit any AVISynth scripts.

I have the video encoding now. Don't know what is going to happen when the streams get remuxed. Fingers crossed!

Edit: Did not work. Audio is way out of sync. I am guessing that I will have to edit an AviSynth script to get it to work with RipBot, but I don't know how to do it. Simple copy and replace will not work using DGIndex to skip GOPS, and then use the demuxed audio and .d2v file.

[benjyv]

Can I open here a topic related to sound ?? ...apparently can :) :D ;-)
I heard that for encoding LPCM to DTS I need DTS-HD Master Audio Suite Encoder and for splitting LPCM tracks I can use Nuendo soft...
Things are simply ,apparently ,but I need a professional , a person who realy uses these softs , to help me with few lil tricks... ;-)
Many thanks for contacting me !!!!

[Atak_Snajpera]

@snippits
Did you check audio sync in preview? You can also adjust audio delay manually in RipBot264.

[soneca]

benjyv,

It would be easier to get help if you post your question here > http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?f=11

[snippits]

@snippits

Yes I tried to adjust the audio delay manually in RipBot to -250ms. Still way out of sync because of the black lead in.

Success finally! Here is all the steps I had to do the get the black lead in to work. I do have a headache lol.

1. Processed the vobs with RipBot normally, and set a manual crop, custom resize, chose .mkv file container, and the audio was copy stream.

2. Clicked Done. And it was in que but not started yet.

3. Used DGIndex to make project and saved the audio and .d2v file and renamed to job1. GOPS were skipped.

4. Copied and replaced the job1.d2v in the RipBot temp folder. Then I just copied over the other job1 audio file. I had both of the ac3 audio streams in the RipBot temp folder. Difference between the audio streams were: One had a delay of 662752 and the other had -243ms delay. The -243ms stream was the one that was GOPS corrected with DGIndex.

5. Edited job1 AviSynth script. Deleted the delay of 662752 and replaced with -243 and then saved it. That was the only change.

6. Edited job1 Configuration Settings. Same change as #5 above.

7. Edited job1_MuxFiles batch. Same change as #5 and #6.

8. Closed the temp folder, and clicked start to encode the video. Finally, A/V was in sync.

I wish it were possible to make it easier, but that's the only way I got it to work.

did you understand me?

[snippits]

did you understand me?

Not sure if you are talking to me:D

Yes I think I did understand you to the best of my knowledge, but I need to add something else.

When I used the preview script within RipBot the A/V were in sync. But what I think is happening is that once it is loaded to que the original processed ac3 audio stream is being used in the job1 AviSyth script, configuration settings, and the job1_ MuxFiles batch which is normal. That's the reason I had to do the edits.

Hopefully, I have provided enough of information.

Man i can't figure out my subtitle problem

I had as issue with Avatar and now 2012 , do i need to install anything else other then ripbot to get the subtitles to burn in.

I select build in picture and then select the subtitle in the temp folder but it never seems to work for me.

i have java so that is not an issue

[davidsama]

Try extracting out the subtitle with mkvextract gui 2 into another folder and select it that way.

Hello,

Strange thing just starting happening when using RipBot v1.16.1. Have encoded hundreds of movies w/out too many issues. After getting updates for Windows 7 x64 Ultimate the other day & restarting, I immediately get an error once a job is loaded & I hit the Start button. I immediately get: avs2yuv.exe has stopped working
I rolled back the updates & restarted but I'm still get that error. I went back to try files that I already encoded w/out a problem & I still get the error. I tried older versions of RipBot & still get the error. Just wanted to see if this has happened to anyone else & to try to figure out where the problem is so I can correct it. I love this program & not being able to use this for 24 hours is really annoying :mad:

"Attachments Pending Approval" (which means it can't be opened until it's approved)
I just don't understand why you'd put it in a word doc

but you'd just want to upload to an image hosting site anyways

Atak,

I re-encoded a movie last night using the 100% option. It still too low for my likening. I compared it to another encode of the same movie I did with the latest [spam]. It has by default the AAC audio encode set to 125%.

Would you mind considering allowing th euser of your GUI to be able to adjust the audio boost level? (rename it from normalize to audio boost)

TIA :thanks:

[rendez2k]

OK, just installed RB on my new Win 7 64bit machine. When I add an MKV and the streams are demuxed, the correct length and frames are reported. Whem the encode starts, only the first 7000 or so frames are encoded. I've tried 2 or 3 MKVs with the same results. Any ideas?!

What's audio duration reported in ripbot

BTW. What is this???
-bitrate 235932

[rendez2k]

OK, I re-installed RB in case there was an issue. I then re-added the MKV as I didn't notice the audio length before. Audio is correctly being reported. But now, it just sits there initializing and not starting the encode!

As for the bitrate, I've no idea. All I told RB to do is a 2-pass encode, fit to HD res and DL DVD size.

Edit: OK, looks like the initaliaztion issue is due to me changing the output path or the location of RipBot? Does it store settings in the registry?

I tried to convert anime with Ripbot and it still does not work.

1-- Ive tried editing the script to 23.976 like you told me to it didn't work.
2-- Decimate it didn't work.
3-- Assume FPS it didn't work.
4-- Inverse Telecine it didn't work.
5-- Convert FPS it didn't work.

Would you mind encoding it!

modify script and everything will be ok.

[fAy01]

hey can you also add a drop down menu for fps and add the option same as source and a batch mode option too!!!

where are the subs and please convert it to mkv!

[Atak_Snajpera]

why don't you encode yourself? I just added convertfps=true so you can do the same.

[fAy01]

why don't you encode yourself? I just added convertfps=true so you can do the same.

I modified the script like you said and it still didn't work. I encoded the the same file with Vidcoder and it works!

Do you want me to upload the modified script and the encode!!

[essential]

i searched this thread, and saw versions of this question asked, but never found a solid answer. is it possible to encode to 720p without black bars?

i notice the black bars on fixed on the outputted file, making it exactly 1280x720. what if you don't want black bars at all? for example, i was converting a 1080p movie rip that i calculated to be a 1280x544 image (without black bars) when 720p. i selected the high profile (4.0) then under properties i go to "do not crop" and "size = custom (x,xx:1)" and i input 1280x544.

the resulting file just squishes the picture and makes the black bars larger, instead of just encoding the video stream itself down to 1280x544, without black bars. what am i doing wrong?

does ripbot add the black bars just to make it easier to encode for the user as i've read in previous posts, or is there some benefit to the monitor/screen to have it perfectly 1280x720 already? i just know if i'm watching something in windowed mode on my laptop, i'd rather not have the black bars, they take up extra space that's unnecessary.

side question:
ripbot 1.16.0 & 1.16.1 won't take my demuxed .264 video files, nothing happens when i load them, i have to use 1.15.1 to encode HD stuff, but 1.16.0&1 take my .vob files just fine. any ideas?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Crop borders and then select custom (2.35:1)

[fAy01]

Crop borders and then select custom (2.35:1)

what about my question :confused:

[Atak_Snajpera]

Do you want me to upload the modified script and the encode!!
Let's see what you get with added convertfps=true

I think last time I did something wrong my mistake it works now!!!

[asarian]

Man i can't figure out my subtitle problem

I had as issue with Avatar and now 2012 , do i need to install anything else other then ripbot to get the subtitles to burn in.

I select build in picture and then select the subtitle in the temp folder but it never seems to work for me.

i have java so that is not an issue
It would help if you actually said what kind of subtitles you're trying to add.

Check your job's AVS file, and see whether it contains something like:


LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\VSFilter\VSFilter.dll")
video=TextSub(video,"C:\video\mysub.ass")


Also, java?? Are you trying to use actual .SUP files, by any chance? Then you need to install the SupTitle plugin; like:


LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\SupTitle.dll")

video=FFVideoSource("M:\jobs\akira.mkv").ConvertToYV12()
video=SupTitle(video, "M:\jobs\akira_exp.sup", forcedOnly=false, swapCbCr=false, relocate=true, relocOffset="0,0,0,0")

return video

N.B. I always run my .SUP files through BDSup2Sub first, and export to a new SUP file (you'd be surprised how many errors a .SUP file contains on average).

[davidsama]

I have found out that ripbot seems to encode faster and better when i run it in administrator mode in 64 bit windows 7 instead of the default account that you use when you set up your pc.

[pacaveli211]

I have found out that ripbot seems to encode faster and better when i run it in administrator mode in 64 bit windows 7 instead of the default account that you use when you set up your pc.

I require proof of this improbable claim. you should try doing same exact encode twice (once normal, once admin). same pc uptime, same programs running etc

[davidsama]

I do not have any programs running. also i reboot and let ripbot be the only program doing anything

[Algamish]

Hi Atak, thank you so much for this wonderful app!

I got a question though: It appears that +/- keys are disabled in the preview mode, is there a way to enable them so i can detect the amount of audio delay much easier? If it's not possible it'll be much appreciated if you could enable this feature.

Thank you in advance for your assistance and have a great time!

[pacaveli211]

I do not have any programs running. also i reboot and let ripbot be the only program doing anything

and so what was the encode time for the same movie done under admin vs normal

[8ternity]

and so what was the encode time for the same movie done under admin vs normal

and test it with the same movie also. :rolleyes:

[dbone1026]

Quick question, I have a Blu Ray disc of a TV show (6 episodes on the disc). When ripbot analyzes the the disc it shows me three playlists. The 1st playlist is of the entire 6 episodes grouped together. The 2nd and 3rd playlist are of Episode #1 and #2. Any idea why a playlist is not showing for episode #3-6?

EDIT: OK, did a little more digging, I am wondering if it is a bug with eac3to? Using Clown_BD I only see the three playlists as well, but if I use MakeMKV I can see all 7 playlists (1 master playlist and 6 episode playlists). The other option I was thinking was to use MakeMKV to get an mkv of each episode, and then run the episode mkv through Ripbot

Copy the m2ts file direct on c:, an name it test.mts. In most cases audio can´t be detected by mkvtoolnix cause of file and/or folder names like "d:\ööö$$$download$$$ööö\***blabla.mkv".

While your solution works and allows the file to be detected correctly, it doesn't allow me to create a 2-pass encode due to the missing playlist. I'm trying to hit a target size to burn.

Rename your folder from "D:\--= Complete =--\" to "D:\Complete\" and it will work!

It's because i edit the title name to hide where it came from. Its really .mkv without the '

[iStorm]

@ Atak- Hey man, I really hope you can help me.. I have done 75 plus blu ray encodes with your program with no issues until now...


Here is my issue: I start an encode (it doesn't matter if I select 2 pass or quality (CBR)) and use all of the default settings.. I select an M2ts file (have also tried MKV) with AC3 Aften audio (the audio I always use (640kbps)). The streams demux .. Everything goes great.. The program starts encoding (lets say CBR 18 setting) .. It gives me a 2 hour time that it is going to be finished encoding in.. Keep in mind that I have a i5 750 quad core.. It is fast.. but cannot encode a constant quality blu ray movie like "Avatar" (yes, I own the Blu ray as well) in 2 hours or less.. So I let Ripbot do the encoding process.. The time ends up going up to about what it should be .. around 7-8 hours to complete. After the file is completed.. It gives me a different file size each time.. Some times it is a small Kilobyte file and some times it is a small Megabyte file that obviously doesn't work.. The file size should be a few Gigabytes at least .. So obviously something has gone wrong with my ripbot264..

Things I have tried doing:

I have uninstalled all ripbot plugins, ripbot itself, windows 7, etc.. Reinstalled all to the latest versions.. and I have tried older versions as well.. When I reinstalled Windows 7 again fresh, I even deleted my hard drive completely and made a brand new partition. After all of this I'm still getting the same issue.. Remember that I have successfully encoded 75+ movies perfectly in your program and I'm just all of a sudden having problems.. I figured something was up with my computer so I tried Megui and I can successfully encode a full blu ray no problems..

I have also looked at the log file when ripbot is running and it will display a completely different time that the encode will be completed than the actual ripbot and they will always remain different .. For instance: Ripbot will state that the movie has 2 hours remaining and the log in the cmd window will state that it has 18 hours remaining and then will just shoot up in the cmd window..

PLEASE help me man! I really want to get ripbot working again..

Thanks!!!!!

@Atak_Snajpera

I noticed eac3to cannot read avs files, would it be useful for you if it could, how are you currently processing audio? I consider making a feature request eac3to reading avs, if a couple of GUI authors support this request it has a better chance for being successful.

[Atak_Snajpera]

how are you currently processing audio?
old good Bepipe.

[meatwad666]

hi atak,

i'm giving your program a whirl after getting a but frustrated with megui (feeling like its using a shotgun to kill a fly).

anyway, is there a way i can change the default settings to be 2pass ~1meg, enable resize etc, ala megui's one-click profiles?

i'm converting 1080i and 720p hdtv caps to 624x352@1meg or 960x540@2meg sorta like standard scene rips.

edit: maybe this is covered in help documentation that i cant find?

[juramirez]

Just wanted to say I'm having the same problem prettyboy85712 is having with the same movie.

hmmmm

[Atak_Snajpera]

no log? hmmmm ...

[pacaveli211]

I was hmmming cuz I was thinkin you had fixed that in 1.6.1, I was still running 1.6.0
if not, here's the log

[juramirez]

I've got a problem ripping Downfall (2004) from Blu-ray. When I add the job, the only audio track available is an AC3 German, 2.0 channels, when there should be a 5.1 channels track. Also, there are no subtitles available, and there should be English subtitles.

Edit: Also, I just noticed... when it finishes demuxing, the audio track's length is reported as 8:39:21.952.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Are you importing .m2ts directly from untouched BD-structure?
Post all .txt files from jobx folder. DO NOT USE FORUM's ATTACHMENTS ;) Zip then and upload to www.mediafire.com

[juramirez]

Yup, importing from untouched BD-structure (ripped to hard drive using AnyDVD). Letting RipBot find the correct files/playlists (as usual). Here are the txt files: http://www.mediafire.com/file/otjmkljdjjtynmi/job1_txt_files.zip

[Atak_Snajpera]

@juramirez
Can you upload whole structure with trimmed all .m2ts to 10-20MB? You can use DGSplit. I will have to send this to eac3to author.

@prettyboy85712
can you do the same with your movie?

[juramirez]

@juramirez
Can you upload whole structure with trimmed all .m2ts to 10-20MB? You can use DGSplit. I will have to send this to eac3to author.

Well, it's almost 500MB, so it'll be a while until it's uploaded. Had to split the zipfile containing the structure to be able to upload it to mediafire, hope that's not a problem.

[8ternity]

@Atak;

I have a suggestion for the program.

Did you can add a line on the top of movie and audio with the current size of original file, or the video and audio file size so i can save time to open a explorer, get the source size and set the DVD5 or DVD9 ?

Let me know if its a constructive suggestion for you and if it can be added in the program.

[juramirez]

Okie, here goes:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/zyyedjiqmn5jvy3/DOWNFALL_CLIPPED.zip_0
http://www.mediafire.com/file/hujn1tlkz3mynv2/DOWNFALL_CLIPPED.zip_1
http://www.mediafire.com/file/n1zmqnzzllztzkz/DOWNFALL_CLIPPED.zip_2

That's a copy of the BD structure, with m2ts files clipped/trimmed to 20MB, everything zipped, then the zipfile split into 3 pieces to allow for mediafire's 200MB cap.

[womble2]

Could someone tell me what that "poster" Option does?
Does it include a "preview image" into the video, and that image is showen by iTunes, a Video Player or Windows as preview?
And what are the limits that picture nedds to have (size, aspect ratio...)


Thanks

[Atak_Snajpera]

no limit.

[womble2]

Thanks a lot!


is it possible to include such a poster in a movie without reencoding?

[Atak_Snajpera]

is it possible to include such a poster in a movie without reencoding?
yes. Use mp4box.

[womble2]

Thanks again (you're not human, are you ;) )

[juramirez]

yes. Use mp4box.

Will mp4box work for mkv's, too? Or just mp4's?

[Atak_Snajpera]

mp4 obviously. BTW. How did you split your sample because I cannot extract your files.

[juramirez]

mp4 obviously. BTW. How did you split your sample because I cannot extract your files.

I zipped the whole structure, then I split the zipfile using DGSplit into three pieces. Should just be able to paste the three segments together into a valid zip file (for example: copy DOWNFALL_CLIPPED.zip_0 /b + DOWNFALL_CLIPPED.zip_1 /b + DOWNFALL_CLIPPED.zip_2 /b DOWNFALL_CLIPPED.zip /b).

[Atak_Snajpera]

@juramirez
1) Rename BDMV folder to BDMV_
2) import 00014.m2ts in ripbot264

BTW. According to MediaInfo and Tsmuxer main movie has only german track without subtitles

Trying that now. Only thing I can think of is subtitles must be burned in on the original video. The movie DOES have english subtitles, at least when I watch it on my Blu-ray player.

Yup, apparently the subtitles are burnt in. Preview showed them properly. By the way, the preview is video-only, right? I didn't hear any audio when viewing the preview, but I'm thinking the preview is just of the video anyway.

[Atak_Snajpera]

you should have audio as well in preview. At least I have with your sample (woman speaking in german at the begining)

Hello – I have been using RipBot for awhile now with very few issues, great prog btw - thanks Atak. I do have two questions though.
1 – Is it recommended to update the various tools (x264, eac3to, etc.) as they come out with new versions or wait till RipBot includes the updates. Or is it a case of don't fix what’s not broken.
2 – I noted that if I want to encode to 720p, the cropping settings do not stick auto or manual. Is that the norm? I know that including the “black bars” does not eat up much space supposedly, but if I wanted to crop in a 720 encode, how?
Thanks.

[benjyv]

Hello everyone !!!!

How are you my friends ???

I'm very glad my 1.16.0 Ripbot version works cool :D Many thanks to it's father , Atak....:)
I have just a lil reproach : when an encode is finished the soft didn't pup up an advertisment or don't generate a sound to draw our attention ;-)
..but maybe isn't necesary , because could generates interferences within the encodes processes....It works great , as usual :D

Btw , a new version coming to life , isn't it ???
Atak ??? when you'll be in vacation better call me to invite you to drink a beer together,here on the see coast or to clink a glass of whisky on rocks :D:)

Cheers !!!

Thanks for the command line.:cool:

The .idx and .sub are working thanks to your method, I also got it to work by opening it with VobSup's submux and saving it as a .ass.
Unfortunately I do not have the DVD or the .sup with me right now so I can't provide you with the original .sup file.

I am more interested to know why the .idx and .sub file couldn't be use when I want to hardsub it in an re-encode.:thanks:

Hi,
I have a little project and I wanted to know if it is possible with RipBot264 1.16.1 and if yes, how.

I am from Germany and bought the german "Lord of War" - DVD. Know i wanted this movie as a blu-ray and because it never got released in Germany i've ordered it in the United States.

Now i want to load the LOW - Blu-Ray in RipBot264 and add the DVD-Audio-Track to this job. Now my questions:

1. Would it be possible and if yes how can i change the audio-"fps" from 25fps to 23,9... fps? So can i access the "-slowdown"-command from eac3to within the RipBot?

2. I don't want the video-track to be recoded, just copy. I've never seen a function like that. Is there any workaround for just copy the Video-Track and if not it would be a great idea to implement that!

3. Sometimes I love to watch english-speaking movies in it's original language. Is it possible to include 2 audio-tracks with the RipBot? So that I can build this new "Lord Of War - German - Blu-Ray" with two audio-tracks (English and German)?

Would be nice if anyone could help me or if Atak says "multiple languages; audio-resampling and copy tracks will be available soon!"


EDIT:
I've seen that forced subtitles won't be marked as those anymore!!! Why?

Encode the video from bluray to 25fps. Mux this video file and your audio tracks from the DVD to one file with mkvtoolnix (Open mmg.exe under "tools\mkvtoolnix" and just drag&drop the video and audio tracks.)

[klopsknoedel]

:thanks:

Thanks but i just want to use RipBot264 on as much steps as possible on this Blu-Ray-Mod and i definitely don't want to change the video-source. I know how to transform 25fps-audio to a 23,93fps-audio with eac3to but it would be great if anyone knows if and how it is possible within RipBot!

[georgecoat]

Can you please put back Blu-Ray output?

[stasi]

Can you please put back Blu-Ray output?

Select "m2ts" output. Just the name changed.

[Adub]

@klopsknoedel
I'm afraid that you can't change those settings using RipBot. RipBot was designed from the ground up to be a "simple" GUI. This means that the more advanced options (like changing the audio fps) have been either abstracted away or not even available.

Pretty much everything you want to do cannot be done with RipBot (like changing the audio speed, including more than one audio track, or copying the video track).

Now, before I offer some solutions, what output format do you desire? Do you want another Blu-ray or AVCHD, or would you like a DVD render, or an MP4 or MKV, etc. etc.

Could anyone help me, I'm running the latest version of Ripbot, installed ffdshow manually and I'm still having issues with out of sync audio. I'm on windows 7 pro 64 bit. Ripbot 1.14 seemed to work fine, but some more recent blu ray dvd's seemed to hang and so I got the latest version. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

I used this guide here to set up ffdshow;

http://adubvideo.net/how-to/setup-proper-playback-chain-windows

Is there no way of making the installation of ffdshow automatic?

I've tried BDrebuilder and I get the same if not worse results.

Would really appreciate some help here.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I'm still having issues with out of sync audio.
with what source? DVD or BD? lost in sync is constant or progressive? Did you check preview option?

[klopsknoedel]

@Adub
thanks for the reply. as you said ripbot is a gui for simply ripping videos and convert them into the 4 kinds of format. but it's a little bit strange! On the one hand it's called "a simple" programm, on the other hand you're aloud to resize the video, change video-fps, crop or denoise the video and even change color-space for the video. So it seems a little bit more as simple. Just copy the video-track or add a second/third audio-track would be MORE simple then these things i've listed above. You can copy the audio-track why not video?

What i want to do:
1. RIP and demux my bought Blu-Ray to HDD
2. Demux the DVD of the same movie to Disk (because it includes german subtitles and audio-track)
3. Combine BD-Video-Track, BD-Audio-Track (english DTS-5.1), BD-Subtitles (english), DVD-Audio-Track (german DTS-5.1) and DVD-Subtitles (german)

Problem is that the DVD-Stuff has 25fps and BD-Stuff has 23,937fps. So before combining i want to change subtitles and audio-fps (eac3to-command "-slowdown") of the DVD. The Video has to be completely original.

Reason for that: The "Lord Of War" - Blu-Ray was never released in germany, only DVD, and i want a german BLU-RAY of this movie! I've bought both and i don't want to download an illegal rebuild!

For now i think i'll do it that way "Stasi" explained. Get the Video- and Audio-Track RipBot produced; slow down the DVD-Audio / -Subtitles and merge them with mkvtoolnix.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Check competition. I guarantee that You will feel like baby in fog ;) Some options are absolutely NECESSARY!!!

BD ripped with anydvd. It's out of sync before I've even converted (playback with latest vlc media player), so I have a feeling I'm messed up some setting with ffdshow video/audio decoding. :/

you realize that by changing framerates you aren't ruining the video in anyway, it just makes it 'faster'. all the content and quality is still there.

personally I'd just use eac3to by itself if absolutely necessary to change the audio framerate.
And subtitle workshop to change the subtitle framerate

Anyone notice a big difference in the filesize of the output, compared to the older versions? I went from 1.14.x to 1.16.1, and I notice the output is much smaller. Take the movie info below for instance. At the same quality (CQ18), the size went from 17.9 GB to 13 GB. Pretty sure the profiles were the same too. Audio the same.

The x264 is the culprit.;)

I saw the vast difference in version 2.4.2 -> 4.0.0... But I didn't see anything on the MKVtoolnix site about efficiency improvements.

So... Is it encoding much more efficiently now, like 25% or so, or is it simply dropping the bitrate for the same quality setting?

[prettyboy85712]

@prettyboy85712
With your sample I get this

Using that very same sample provided I get the following when selecting 00000.mpls and 00001.mpls.

you will have to compare both movies with your own eyes.

[Woqini]

Filesizes is weird in the new versions - not BD but DVD.

A 1 hour and 40 mins movie using CF20 is 980 MB ???

It looks like s...

BD to MKV no problem, its the same as always.

------------

Just tried same movie using 2-pass 2048 - it looks a lot better and filesize is 1.4 GB

[RottenNecro]

use MPC-HC

how can mpc be better than vlc?? :confused:

[dbone1026]

MPC HC uses completely different filters/decoders. I would recommend MPC HC as well (make sure you grab the latest beta)

Making that change works perfect for the sample provided. However, when making the same change to the original rip. RipBot is able to detect everything except for the chapters.

I did with another movie, which made a big change in bitrate.

CQ22 8.78GB 11.1 Mbps bitrate with 640Kbps AC3
CQ20 5.11GB 6.5 Mbps bitrate with variable FLAC

It looks like the larger version is better - mosquito noise might be similar, but it looks sharper. The smaller version looks a little softer.


Does anyone know of changes in the x264 codec? It would be nice to know if they did, I have already spent tons of time comparing. :(

I know that each video is different, but if it is known that the newer version of the codec provides x-y% better compression in general it would be very nice to know.

Any particular reason I don't get the chapters option when playing back the file with my WDTV??? I've demuxed with ts muxer, stripped the audio file with eac3to, and used ripbot to finalise the file if you get what I mean. :/

[Atak_Snajpera]

why don't you just import .ts directly in ripbot?

[soneca]

It is certainly more practical ...:)

I used CQ and QualityLevel 18.
I run an core i7-720 at 4gHz. All 4 cores (8 threads) are working with almost 99%usage, but I just get 20fps encoding. (Windows7 64bit)
Isn't that a little slow?

Slow??? On my Q6600@3ghz I would have no more than 10! You should be happy like hell because you have almost real-time encoding! If this is still too slow why don't you send me you cpu and buy yourself a brand new i7 980 ;)

[RottenNecro]

Because I was getting out of sync audio there and thought there must be some way of getting passed that while still using ripbot.

There's nothing slow here, is much faster than my i7@2.8Ghz!:eek:

Now I'm getting no sound. I used the method i mentioned a sec ago. I've now reverted back to ripbot 1.14.6 to see if it will make any difference.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Hi all,

I was just wondering ;-) Does ripbot have the ability to create two audio streams?

I'd like to convert a movie from one of my blu-rays to 720p mp4 so I can play it on both my PS3 and iPad. Unless both the PS3 and iPad supports 5.1 AAC?

If not I'd have to use 5.1 AAC for the PS3 and 2.0 AAC for the iPad. The reason for me posting this question is that I don't get the iPad till next week so can't test it.

Thanks

[klopsknoedel]

no you can't.
RipBot is just a simple GUI so that EVERYBODY can use it. Such more-advanced-features like 2 audio-tracks can't be done with RipBot! :sly:

[RottenNecro]

Should I have xvid decoded by xvid or libavcodec in ffdshow video decoder config?

Could you tell me what I should have set for Other MP4,
Raw Video (it's disabled at the moment - Should it be set to YV12?)
VC1 (set to wmv9 at the moment)
H.264/AVC (set to ffmpeg-mt). Would really appreciate the help.

[klopsknoedel]

xvid -> ffdshow (libavcodec)
RAW -> ffdshow
VC-1 -> wmv9 (Microsoft)
H.264/AVC -> ffmpeg-mt (ffdshow)

so it looks like you've done all right

[Darkness_au]

Hi, first off great program, nice and easy and gives awesome quality..

I have a problem though and a few questions I hope some one can help me with, sorry if its been gone over before, 400+ pages is a bit much to go through :)

Ok, I cant use the denoise filter at all, every time I select Film or Ani the preview wont work (just gives a blank screen in MPC, and the movie wont encode (click start and it says done after a couple of seconds with no error) Obviousy with some blurays being a little noisey having this filter would be nice. If I turn the filter off it all works fine.

And why cant we select 640 kbps 5.1 audio with MP4 ? can with the other options like MKV etc.. can only pick 320 kbps 5.1 for some reason. Am unsure of the quality difference but im guessing it would be a bit.

And last question, what file size should I be aiming at ? I know that depends on a lot like the movie time etc.. but with 1.5 hour movies I get around 5800 KBPS when I set the size at 4gig for converting blurays to 720p MP4.. is this over kill ? can anyone tell me what KBPS I shouldnt go under ? like would 2400 KBPS give the same quality ? Just wondering if it was overkill and I might be able to fit 2 movies on a dvd instead of just one.

Thanks for any help with the above.

@atak;

I've got and installed my Western Digital SSD drive 128GB!!!! :p

Installed windows 7 took about 17 minutes! I install all my softwares and updates and will be back soon!! :thanks: I can't wait to see if ssd can help a little bit for conversion issue. I don't think it makes a differences, it's the processor and overall windows used loaded thru the processor, but if hard disc save time of seeking for his files, it can help a little bit for a couples of processes.

[8ternity]

no you can't.
RipBot is just a simple GUI so that EVERYBODY can use it. Such more-advanced-features like 2 audio-tracks can't be done with RipBot! :sly:

Personnaly i used it. When ripbot264 dexumed to all drive all files in the temp folder, i calculate properties on the french audio track, took the file size, calculate 8150 - audio size = results ex.: 6144 MB, wrote 6125 and remuxed manually when project is done.

It's what i do. Sometimes, when DTS tracks, before- project is done, i convert it with eac3to GUI to AC3 640 and calculate before starting the project. after project finsished, i took the m2ts converted and add the other language and remuxed in a new folder.

DTS = 8125MB - other language size = conversion size and approximate to 25,50,75 mb ex. (7125mb, 6050mb etc).

They have HDConvertToX offer multiples languages, but a little more complated to use then ripbot264. I prefer ripbot264 because i've got better conversion quality and less brain pain for getting worked thoes softwares. Ripbot264 is so easy and great to work. Also, atak offer great support with many members here helping peoples.

maximal bps for CT-AAC encoder is 320000 bps. Also AAC is newer and more efficient than AC3/DTS. I doubt you will hear difference between AAC 320kbps and AC3 640 kbps.

You shouldn't aim for any size. Just select CQ@22. One pass (faster) and you get constant quality for all video collection. If you are not satisfied with quality lower value to 20 or 18 (lower = larger size and better quality)

You will see no difference. BTW, I would not rip to an SSD. SSD is not a HDD, many write accesses will slowly destroy your SSD. Those drives are for installing Windows on it an boot it up faster, not for transfering tons of GBs. You also have to disable some Windows Services like defrag, indexing... and copy your swap file to a HDD.

This GUI is great. Much faster and easier to use than AutoMKV and a few others I've tried.
I've had no real issues with it yet, once I familiarized myself with it.

One thing I have noticed, MKV to MKV conversion is not very fast, as opposed to AVI/MP4 to MKV.

Aside from that, this is the best GUI around.
I've converted about a dozen films so far, and only had trouble with one, but that was my fault.

Also, I've had better results using the 2-pass method. The CQ works well, but the 2-pass is better quality for me.

[pacaveli211]

One thing I have noticed, MKV to MKV conversion is not very fast, as opposed to AVI/MP4 to MKV.
is that because the mkv is in HD vs the avi/mp4 in standard def? or the mkv is a longer video, lower AR, etc.


Also, I've had better results using the 2-pass method. The CQ works well, but the 2-pass is better quality for me.
one mode is not 'better quality' than the other. if you're getting better quality with 2 pass it's because you have a high target size possibly compared to a high (lower quality) cq value set. if you don't need to hit a target size drop your cq value until you get your desired quality. you can type 16, 14, etc numbers in if 18 is not good enough

Hi,

I used only that drive to run windows on it with my photoshop programs and filter. I convert always with another drive, same for decompression.

You dont really need to defrag on that kind of drives. For now what i could say is just awesome.

i've read over 20 forums and follow up all threads about the fiability of the drives. Many websites are more than 1 at 2 years of drives models and technology.

Personnally, it's a pleasure to try, and if a problem occured, WD warranty it for 5 years, and also they rated over 1,400,000 hours of used.

For now, i can't said that i was not happy of mu purchass, i like when my computer bring me what i click right away! Don't blink your eyes, you will miss the windows appear lol!!! :p

Also your website has verry many olds models, and also update latest news from 2009! Many drives has been better from just the last 3 months. I shop them from the last year. My friend took an intel one last year, and verry love it! No problem at all! My Western digital has better specs and rating in the market. And they also test it in their lab!

My converted file size is smaller with 2-pass, because I set it smaller, usually around 400MB.
I'm not ripping BR or HD, just standard DVD.
I have alot of rips on my hdd, in AVI, that I ripped with AutoGordianKnot.
I'm now converting them to MKV and smaller file sizes to save on hdd space.
The MKV I was converting, was one of the first AVI files I converted with RipBot264, before realizing how to set the target size.

I never said that your SSD is not faster than a HDD. This is a Ripbot forum, and FOR RIPBOT you will see no difference. On my OCZ SSD I save a few seconds for a complete rip. The link I posted was the first result on google searching for "SSD optimize". There are many websites containing the same information. I just wanted give you the tip not to rip to SSD, it is not recommended to write many files on it.

Hi Stasi!

No problem. I appreciate constructive comments. It's just i have ear many bad comments from peoples has never try SSD and i have some friens purchass it and personnally i has shopping over a year and read a lot of comments, read professionnals reviews, checks some end users reviwes on youtube, etc. Last year i was planning to get the OCZ or kingston V-Serie, but when i saw Western Digital with all their comments and latest reviews about it, and the price under 300$ for a 128GB, i've been in love with that drive. When i have them on my hand, :confused::confused: verry light! :devil:

Personnally, i can't complaint on it. I will see in the next month if the drive performance will stay fast and constant for the speed, performance and fiability.

About the conversion, i has never used my main drive for conversion, downloads... I used the drive only for OS and all softwares installed. all temps folder are hosted in another drive.

Thanks for comments

[toullaf]

Finally I'm allowed to post in this forum.

First of all, I'd like to thank you for the great tool you've made. I'd never get into x264 encoding if not for tools like yours.

I'm posting here because I'm doing a lot of DVD->MKV (MPEG2->x264) encoding and your tool has a fundamental parameter missing from the “muxfiles” command line: the "--aspect-ratio" parameter.

Why is it fundamental (to me, at least)?
As you well know, PAL DVD's have a frame resolution of 720x576 and NTSC of 720x480; for a 4/3 aspect ratio DVD, that would give a DISPLAY aspect ratio of 768/576 (PAL) or 640/480 (NTSC); for a 16/9 DVD that would be 1024/576 or 853/480, respectively. These are the “display resolution” values; if they are not passed to the “mkvmerge” command line, e.g. “--aspect-ratio 0:1024/576”, media players will not automatically set the correct aspect ratio.

Furthermore, most DVD's have black borders, which I crop for encoding/file size optimization; so, for a 16/9 PAL DVD with margins cropped = (40, 4, 44, 4), I would pass the parameter “--aspect-ratio 0:1013/492”.

It all has to do with original pixel display aspect ratio. I’ve made a small tool for calculating the correct values; you can download it from here (with Delphi7 source code included): (http://www.4shared.com/file/tI6K6tU5/mkv_arc.html).

Some people would say: “Hey, you got to resize the video, moron”, but that’s plain wrong; video frames should *NEVER* be resized at encoding time unless you have a very good reason for it, e.g. obey some standard or to retain video quality while reducing file size. Since I’m aiming for superior video quality, I will never resize video frames at encoding time.

While my tool is helpful, it’s fastidious to manually edit the “muxfiles” command line when I’m encoding lots of DVD’s; plus, changes to it are lost it if I accidentally edit the job, so after I manually edit the command, I set the read-only attribute. It’s a pain in the *** to add 10+ jobs.

Can you please, please, please, fix this issue on your next release? I don’t think that would be too hard to implement it, I think…

[Atak_Snajpera]

Ripbot264 will encode as anamorphic only if resolution is:
1440x1080
1280x1080
720x576
720x480
704x576
704x480

Period.

I'm sorry that you misunderstood me :(

I didn't mean to lecture you on a subject that you clearly know much more about than me; I’m pretty sure that you knew all that, I just wanted you to understand beyond any doubt what the heck I was talking about; and I offered the source code not because you would need it, but because you might think that the EXE could contain some kind of trojan/malware on it.

I thought that I was being constructive and I think that (at least) some users might welcome this small improvement to this great tool…

Of course that you alone will decide if it should be implemented or not, but discarding it as a non-issue it’s a mistake, I think…

[ajua]

I was wondering if any of you use the denoise filter and how much it affects the encoding speed?
Oh, and a suggestion, it would be great if we could specify names for video and audio tracks.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Denoise filter works on GPU (pixel shader). It shouldn't effect encoding very much.

[soneca]

Very good Atak!

Thank you for this new version!:)

Have you tried it without "editting" the muxing, etc ...

Works perfectly fine ... what you are doing is called ANAMORPHIC encoding and Atak confimed Ripbot264 does it AUTOMATICALLY when the above resolutions are detected ...

Here's a novel thought, try it without any "editting", cause it works flawlessly for me every time ...

Well, not for me. If I do not add the --aspect-ratio parameter, the video won't play with correct aspect ratio neither on VLAN player nor Windows Media Player Classic.

Depending on source and crop parameters, the correct aspect ratio differences may be very small and you won't really notice them without comparing screen-shots, but I've had cases where the differences are very clear and that's what called my attention to this "problem"!

I'll test an incorrect aspect ratio file on other machines to rule out a filter problem or whatever on my machine...

[toullaf]

I've made several tests with a PAL 16/9 DVD sample source of 2010 with ~1m:22s (it has very stable margins, older DVD's will have not), and uploaded them here:

http://www.4shared.com/file/VNkafSt8/RipBot_AR_Thing.html

All encoding parameters were the same except margins (72,4,72,4), resize options & aspect ratio parameter. In my system the only MKV's that exhibit correct aspect ratio are, of course, files #1, #4 & #5.

Now take a look at file sizes and bit rates (with Media Info). It's very clear to me that best results are achieved as I say: croping black borders and adding the "--aspect-ratio 0:1013/432" parameter to muxing command line, i.e. MKV #5.

All files, including source dvd sample and AR tool with Delphi7 source code, are available here if you want to do your own tests:

http://www.4shared.com/dir/cwhn85ME/MKV_ARC.html

Right now, the only doubt in my mind is this: is it better to round the AR calc to nearest integer, i.e. "1013" or should it be rounded to nearest multiple of 4, i.e. "1012"?

I humbly submit to the author that RipBot264 should have these 2 options available:


A checkbox to include corrected aspect ratio on command line whenever cropping is used but not resize; in this case, checking it would add "--aspect-ratio 0:1013/432" or "--aspect-ratio 0:1012/432", whichever is found to be best.
The "size" drop-down box should include an option to resize taking into account not only original aspect ratio, i.e. 16/9, but also the crop margins, i.e. resize to 1012x432.


PS: unpacked MKV's file size = 46750405 byte while the 7z packed size = 28294783 byte! :eek: I didn't know that x264 encoded files could compress so much! The MPEG2 sample sure doesn't compress as much...

[8ternity]

@stasi:

Did you have a bluescreen with your ssd drive?

-I convert an mkv 1080P dvd9 in 5h49m55s.

I have also convert another one should take about that 5-6 hours.

[stax76]

@toullaf

It's better to handle aspect ratio with x264's --sar switch, same is true for audio delay, it should be corrected before muxing. Depending on crop and resize options RipBot can produce files with wrong aspect ratio, this is true.

[god_md5]

Hmm, new Version (1.16.2) stucks on "Please wait... gathering information" on simple video:

[crybbio]

Hallo everybody.
I would like to use the program for backup my bluray: I have found it easy to use, with many useful options, but I have not found the ability to backup them without video compression, for having a real backup of my disc.
I could use other programs for this purpose, but RipBot allows me to easily include, for example, the subtitles that I want, without using other applications such SupRip, or merging them with the video permanently.
In short, the program is perfect for what I want to do, but I miss the option to copy video and audio without compression: there is the possibility that you can add this option?
Thanks

[Mr. Monte]

Is there a switch I can use in the config file to make the audio language default to English instead of Unknown?

TIA

[darkNiGHTS]

This isn't really a bug, but it's something I feel should be changed. The subtitle file is only checked if valid when it is being added after the video is encoded. I just spent 5 hours encoding a video and the subtitle file ended up having an invalid line. Of course this means the encoding was never finished and I had to do it all over again after fixing the subtitle file.

Would it be possible to have this be checked beforehand? Or maybe pause instead of cancel when found invalid.

[Atak_Snajpera]

what was wrong with subtitle file?

[AKarpo]

hello - I'm having a few issues with Ripbot encoding under the iPad profile and was hoping someone might be able to help me.

The source material is a 720p .ts file recorded from ABC in ClearQAM.

With RipBot, I click [MAIN 3.0] SD.PSP.iPad under the profile dropdown. Mode is 2-pass with 3000 Kbps bitrate.

Source file encodes fine, resulting .mp4 plays back fine. When I import the .mp4 into iTunes and attempt to copy it over to the iPad, it fails. Just refuses to copy over.

I've tried this with multiple source files - same thing happens every time. I tried using the iPhone preset in MeGUI, using the same encoding settings, and it yields the same result.

any ideas?


p.s. I love RipBot, it's an amazing utility I use on a day to day basis. Donated a bit to help out :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

what resolution did you choose?

[Mr. Monte]

See my question above?

[AKarpo]

what resolution did you choose?

1024x576

[Atak_Snajpera]

Did you try 720x480 or 720x576?

Is there a switch I can use in the config file to make the audio language default to English instead of Unknown?
no. If language is not detected/specified in container then you will always have Undetermined.

[AKarpo]

Did you try 720x480 or 720x576?


no. If language is not detected/specified in container then you will always have Undetermined.

tried 960x540 and it failed. Trying 720x480 now.

now the _exact_ same 1024 or 960 video file, embedded in a html5 page, when I pull it up in Safari on the iPad, plays perfectly.

720x480 works! Hurray! I'm wondering if the fact that it's 59.94 is causing iTunes fits if it's anything above 720. But again though, why would it play in the browser at the resolution, but iTunes doesn't like it? Are we forced to do some iTunes 'tweaks' here to get it working at those higher resolutions?

*edit - audio is a tiny, tiny bit off.

For HD sources must be 24 or 30fps. 960x540 is highest res for 30fps.

you can fix that in Audio delay section (properties -> last page)

Ok i guess i did not fix this.

first i take dvd's and put them on my hard drive with dvdfab.
then when i try to convert them with Ripbot264 v1.16.2 it finishes in 1sec and says cant find sound file in the log. im just using the default high 4.0 settings and running windows 7 64bit can someone help me figure this out.

I was just kinda messing with this. TSMuxer always makes a certificate folder when muxing to AVCHD. I burned a couple discs without it...since it only contains another folder backup and both are empty. My Bluray player didn't seem to like the discs without that folder. is it maybe necessary to get bluray players to recognize it as more of a bluray type disc??? I don't really understand it's purpose

[rendez2k]

I've been playing around with ripbot and compressing MKVs to DVD5 AVCHDs. Are there any settings I can alter to keep high quality but make it any faster? I assume 1 pass isn't accurate enough to get a near-perfect DVD5 size?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Are there any settings I can alter to keep high quality but make it any faster?
no. Higher quality = slower speed and vice versa.

imo making the average movie into a dvd5 should only be done in 720p. with the low bitrate it prob ends up looking better than a 1080p of the same size. so if you're doing 1080p movies consider dropping them to 720p for the above reason and because they'll process a lot faster.

Hi

Today I got trouble by opening a TS (containing VC-1) on a new installed system and I got this message after "Gathering required information"

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

Finally the solution was pretty simple: Adding the "avs2yuv.exe" to the allowed programs in ffddshow decoder settings.

Remark: The ffddshow compatibilty manager appeared not on the screen but was listed in the program list (switching by ALT-TAB). Unfortunately it was not possible to select and view that window.

May be this could help somenone...

Umbriel

[Umbriel]

Me once again but now I have real question:

Short question:
Is there a way to tell RipBot to avoid DGAVCDecode.dll on H264/AVC sources? I know about two workarounds to enforce DirectShow (editing avs script / muxing to ts) but is there a way to exclude DGAVCDecode.dll at all?

background:
If I use Ripbot directly on the .h264-file I get rarely some pink or green glitches. I had this already on different bd's and different systems, occuring is really rare (average once per movie) but deterministic. If I use DGAVCIndex app I get "concealing ...numbers..numbers..numbers.... error" at the affected positions. No problem with these files over direct show source so far.

Regards,
Umbriel

[klopsknoedel]

hi,
i've recognized that "Forced Suptitles" won't be marked as those anymore. Could you please take it back? I loved this feature!



EDIT:
Hi, sorry for that question. I've seen that the "Forced subtitles" - feature is still in.
But some BDs has an extra suptitle-file which will be forced. Would be nice if that file will be marked as "FORCED" too. So if I choose "German" as the language this file gets activated. It's a full file not only an extract of a main-file.

mux .264 into .mkv with mmg.exe. Make sure you specify correct fps!

[Umbriel]

Hi Atak,

Thank you for your great tool and your response.

I use Ripbot for the BD video conversion/compression (VC1,MPEG,AVC to MKV) only. I am doing the rest (audio, subs) manually and finally merging with MMG. My intention is not to merge the original .264 into a MKV container. My observation is when I feed the .264 directly to RipBot the resulting MKV could have rare glitches. I investigated this and the source is the decoding by DGAVC. When I merge the same .264 to a TS file and feed this to Ripbot the glitches do not occur (because the decoding is then done with DirectShow). I verified this behaviour on 2 independent systems, but they have identical HW/OS setup. May be I can test this on another system...

It would be interesting if anybody else has this problem? As workaround I can mux the .264 into TS before feeding to Ripbot but is there no switch to change the default decoding method on plain .264 files?

Regards,
Umbriel

[Atak_Snajpera]

Generally I'm very lazy and when encode anything from BD I just select any .m2ts directly from disc (anydvd HD is running in background obviously)

I've been working on backing up my BluRay collection to mp4 files so I can copy them to iPad for when I'm staying away in Hotels. Everything has been going great and the output files are amazing for the 4gb sizes I'm using. Really chuffed with it so thanks.

Can someone please explain what the downmix tick box actually does. I mean not technically as I know what it is supposed to do, but it seems even if the tick is in or not, I can't actually see anything in the avs files or any files which looks like it is downmixing.

Hope that makes sense

Thanks!

Generally I'm very lazy and when encode anything from BD I just select any .m2ts directly from disc (anydvd HD is running in background obviously)

Okay now I understand what you meant by merging the original .264 into MKV (enforce DirectShow). I wonder why I am the only guy on planet receiving "concealing errors" on a proper .264-file but from Ripbot perspective, request is solved.

Personally I would not recommend to encode plain .264-files with RipBot but it seems I am the only one receiving this errors (or may be the only one which encodes plain 264 =).

[mmmmdonut]

EDIT:
Hi, sorry for that question. I've seen that the "Forced subtitles" - feature is still in.
But some BDs has an extra suptitle-file which will be forced. Would be nice if that file will be marked as "FORCED" too. So if I choose "German" as the language this file gets activated. It's a full file not only an extract of a main-file.

There's no way this can be done problematically. Those subtitle files that contain only forced subtitles are not marked as forced so there is no way for Atak to know.

The easiest way to tell is pick your language for subtitle file and check its size. If you need to read the sup file, go to tools/bdsup2sub and use the tool there to open your sup file.

Hi Atak,

I've encoded an movie "mkv" with 1080P video source and DTS audio, and the lock resize of "8150" and also "8125" is oversized when exported.

I've convert it and lock it to 8150 on the first try, and manually reset to 8125 and convert it again and still oversized.

BD9's need to be around 7620MB in mkv
after they're remuxed to AVCHD/M2TS they'll end up being around 8150

MediaFire seems to have issues at the moment with the server providing your file...

[benjyv]

Hi Atak ,

I wonder why this version gaves errors when I'm encoding .ts files ???
It cannot finish the encode , it stoppes at 96-97 % each time....
I've tried 4 such .ts files and all gave same situation....
Is there smth wrong with .ts files ??
The image stops at 1:25:44 and the sound continue to work up to the end. The whole file is 1:34:40.
Even when I tried second time to encode the same file , the result was almost identical..
Should I do some special settings for .ts files ????

PS : I encode .ts --> .mkv

THX !!

[Atak_Snajpera]

rename .ts to .m2ts and see if this works for you now.

Also check if your .ts contains any error in Transport Stream Packet Editor

[benjyv]

Thanks Atak !!!

but how should I check .ts files for errors ??
What soft is necessary ???
I found on the net TS doctor but is Demo :(


PS : You were RIGHT !!!

renaming .ts to .m2ts , it works perfectly !!!! I've tested just one of them...I hope the other one will work fine , too :D

Thanks !!!

[nst6563]

I haven't searched the entire thread, but from what I have searched I haven't found an answer.

Is there a way to use the "xcopy stream" method when encoding a blu-ray/m2ts? When I encode a dvd/vob, I can simply selec the xcopy stream and get the original DTS/AC3 stream which the receiver can decode. When I chose to encode a blu-ray/m2ts I have the option to transcode the audio or convert to FLAC. Is there no way to simply copy the original DTSHD/TRUEHD stream into the mkv? -or am I missing/misinterpreting an option?

Thanks,

[Atak_Snajpera]

but how should I check .ts files for errors
Transport Stream Packet Editor

[benjyv]

Thanks Atak !!!!

Yet I still have one unsolved problem with Ripbot , namely multiple encoding....
Ripbot is placed within C: The BD for encoding are placed on other different partitions , namely J: and F:
As per Ripbot settings the encoding result will be placed in C:/desktop
Well , everytime I tried to do multiple encoding i.e. different files of the same BD, it results the same file , encoded instead of different ones , 4 or 5 times ,exactly how many files are prepared for encoding...
What can I do ???
There are necessary suplimentary settings ??
There are some tricks ???
Should I put the BD files in other location ???

Cheers !

[simonb1975uk]

Atak what are your recommendations for using DGDecNV in Ripbot?

[ajamils]

Atak,

I've tried converting two movies from mkv to mkv (with Xcopy FLAC audio) and though files converted fine and results are excellent, the subtitles are completely out of sync. In one movie, they start out fine but by the middle of the movie, they are almost 2 seconds slow. Is there any way to fix it ? The original files do not exhibit this issue.

[pacaveli211]

ajamils
check framerates, it sounds like that has changed which would cause the sync issue

[ajamils]

ajamils

Just checked the framerates, they are at "Do not change" setting. I'm using CQ =18 for the conversion.

[pacaveli211]

maybe be more thorough in checking it just to be sure
i.e. check your source and encoded file and see if they show the same framerate (I'd probably use TSMuxeR to do that)
if you don't see an issue I'm somewhat at a loss for why they'd be out of sync
demux / extract subtitles from source and encoded and see if the time codes are all the same. if they aren't you can mux the original one in.
if the time codes are the same the only other thing I can think of is the mkv has multiple timelines and the 1st / default one has a few minutes cut out, explaining the difference
that seems quite unlikely though....

I just started another conversion, but this time I selected "Assume 23.976" as the speed. This is the same frame rate that the source has. Lets see how this one goes.

Update:
Conversion went fine but same issue with subtitles. Also noticed that sound also goes out of sync in one of the encodes. I guess, I'll just stick with RAW video (with FLAC audio) for my blu-ray backups.

hi @all nice to be here and to be able to post, could someone please help a n00b, why is it i never ever get the blu ray option only divxplus

[pacaveli211]

there is no bluray option

There used to be this option a while ago but it was removed. All I do is use the AVCHD option and when it completes then run that through tsMuxeR to make it a Blu-ray. Hope this helps.

Hi guys, can you explain me these deinterlacing methods in RipBot264?

1. TFF -> 29.97 FPS
2. TFF -> 59.94 FPS
3. BFF -> 29.97 FPS
4. BFF -> 59.94 FPS
5. Inverse Telecine

Thanks very much :D

[Guest]

Hi guys, can you explain me these deinterlacing methods in RipBot264?
Before I answer, do you know what fields are?

[Cappy]

Why doesn't this convert 25 FPS to 23.976 FPS movies ?

[ajamils]

I just tried encoding another movie and have the same issue. In original mkv file subtitles are completely sync with the movie but on the encoded file, subtitles are couple of seconds behind. I even merged the extracted subtitles from the original file but that did not fix it either. So I'm guess, there is nothing going on with the encoded video.

Attached are the MediaInfo outputs for both files (remove .doc from the extension).

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Atak !!!!

I'm back with an unsolved problem regarding multiple encoding :

" Well , Ripbot is located within partition C: The BD for encoding are placed on other different partitions , namely J: and F:

There are some tricks ???
Should I put the BD files in other location ???
This option : "multiple encode" is available for different sources/BDs and not for the same source with multiple files to be encoded ???

( to solve this problem I must copy/paste every file on desktop and encode separatelly , one by one...)

Thanks in advance !!!!

[dragon_warrior]

Before I answer, do you know what fields are?

Fields? I juz dont get your question

I have some HD video clip (1080i) in MPEG-TS format and I wanna encode them down to 720p MKV.
I've tried MeGUI, but the result is not good as expected:
http://img638.imageshack.us/i/larouxbulletproofh264pa.jpg/

Then I came to use RipBot264 and stuck at deinterlacing method. In MeGUI, you can let the app analyse and suggest the best deinterlacing method, and also, let you choose the resizing filters. But I can't find these option in RipBot264 so I need help from you guys :thanks:

[Atak_Snajpera]

Old blu-ray was in fact AVCHD. I just changed label.

All I do is use the AVCHD option and when it completes then run that through tsMuxeR to make it a Blu-ray. Hope this helps.
This is only required if your bd-player does not like AVCHD structure. BTW. Majority of new players has no problems with AVCHD.

Use
1. TFF -> 29.97 FPS
or
2. TFF -> 59.94 FPS

Corrupted image could be caused by errors in stream. This is very common if you record something from TV station. It would also help if you could upload 50mb sample to www.mediafire.com. Use DGsplit.

[dragon_warrior]

@Atak_Snajpera: You mean the source video at 1080i ?

[pacaveli211]

benjyv - are your output files set to have different filenames?

At the begining you will see corrupted frame. This is due to error in source (.ts) . BTW. Don't use TV -> PC conversion. Also I see no reason for denoising.

are your output files set to have different filenames?

Yes , of course , I'm not so stupid :((

Maybe he'll answer me , finally ;-)

@Atak : Thank you :D

[glen8]

Can someone please tell me if the fps on mpeg2 blu-rays is slightly slower than vc1?

Usually I get a constant 30fps, Now and again up to 45 but with mpeg2 it's a solid 25

Just wondering, thanks

Oh, also I stupidly encoded the same movie twice by mistake and the file sizes were very very slightly different. Only a few k but thought it was strange. Any thoughts?

[pacaveli211]

it's not going to encode exactly the same every time. being a bit different is 100% normal
all blurays (main movies) are 24fps (excluding a few 25fps things like BBC life and etc)
encoding fps depends on a lot more things than mpeg2 vs vc1 (and don't forget avc/mpeg4).
such as AR, resolution, and then some things in the movie itself. a lot of fast movements / changes will take longer. whereas a slower really dark movie should go faster

[pacaveli211]

hey Atak (or anyone else who might know) if I want to encode something over 25000kbps do I need to modify the profile?
I just noticed my last encode missed the target size by about 1.5GB. but I had set the bitrate to 27000 with the default 4.0 profile
it seems I should change the level to at least 4.1 and the max bitrate to 30000 or however high is necessary, is that correct?
should the buffer be changed to coincide with the max bitrate?
and lastly....having these settings as such (4.1 25000) shouldn't have any negative impact on lower bitrate encodes should they?
like if I use the same profile to encode a bd9

4.0 is limited to 25000. Anything higher requires you to switch to 4.1.

Hi!

In the Movie Robots from 2005 I try to get the hole movie but cant seem to get the end with the after texts to be included! :(

I choose the appropriate mpls, in this case 00850.
mpls and choose the first angle. (tried both)

RipBot does what it should but the movie is missing the aftertexts that are aprox. 6min., what do I do ?

In the mpls i use it uses files:
00818.m2ts+00834.m2ts+00835.m2ts
, but the last part (aftertexts) is in 00821.m2ts! :(

How do I get the hole movie to be demuxed as one so I can encode the complete movie!

PLEASE HELP! :(

[Zorro70]

Can you add the correct mpls in ts muxer as you would in ripbot, then ADD the extra 00821.m2ts file and see if it will remux into a blu ray so you can ripbot it????

its just a guess, its one film i havent downloaded so cant try it myself

[pacaveli211]

if you're choosing a playlist that doesn't include the m2ts with the credits you should check the other playlists, you're probably using the wrong one
use BDinfo
or simply add it with tsmuxer as zorro70 suggested

Tryed to find a playlist WITH the credits, but does not exist from what I can see, this is a major mystery for me.

IS there anyway to tro to manually force together the separate files into one movie file, allready tryed all diffrent ways with TSmuxer, and nothing works, either crash at the end (usually with error msg:
"Reading buffer overflow. Possible container streams are not syncronized. Please, verify stream fps. File name: M:\BDMV\STREAM\00818.m2ts"
or ends...without the credits in the final output ? :/
BDinfo dont show me anything that can help me solve this issue.

[pacaveli211]

zip your playlist folder for me and upload it (to mediafire). I'll see if I can find anything that you may have missed
also does tsmuxer by chance seem to give that error for any certain stream? or just as a general error?

[MaistroX]

Here´s the link to Robots playlist -> http://www.mediafire.com/?7gkk4t1bfgi2d2k

Only reason that is given is -> "Reading buffer overflow. Possible container streams are not syncronized. Please, verify stream fps. File name: M:\BDMV\STREAM\00818.m2ts"
When I try to join thoose 4 files.
The movie complete should be Aprox. 90 Mins.

[pacaveli211]

damn, I need the clipinf folder too

[MaistroX]

Here´s the clipinfo dir -> http://www.mediafire.com/?z917p6p584sy63p

[pacaveli211]

bdinfo reads problems with 00334.mpls, 00800.mpls and 00850.mpls
you might want to try pulling the playlist folder and Clipinf folder off the bluray again

I dunno if that's the actual issue....but if the main playlist is truly corrupt it might've dumped some of the data out

[stryker412]

I have a question that does not pertain to any particular version of RipBot. I'm just curious (in basic terms) how RipBot determines the bitrates for mkv's? I just ripped a few episodes of "Generation Kill" from BD which are 1hr in length. Using CQ18 I ended up with file sizes around 4GB per episode in 720p. I just tried to do "Book of Eli" which is a 2hr movie and I end up with a file size of 2GB (also in 720p). The bitrate for Eli is only 2.5MB while Generation Kill is 5MBs. I'm just trying to understand how this works.

[Remicade]

After i install latest Haali every video (mkv, avi) stuck at "Please wait...Gathering information". Do you encounter such problem ? Should I reinstall Windows ? :(

[pacaveli211]

I still get the same error, so I dunno man.
maybe try dropping some of the audio / subtitle tracks and see if it gets rid of the buffer overflow error or try demuxing them first. also check to make sure the framerates are the same on all the m2ts files

some movies require a higher bitrate to retain the same quality, while other movies can maintain the same quality with a much lower bitrate. lots of things will factor into this. the colors in the movie, how much action there is, etc. animated movies can be dropped A LOT and still look fine due to how the colors are.

[AbsHard]

When adding some blu ray rips to be encoded, something is eating up all my ram (4gigs) while it demuxes. Computer becomes unresponsive until it finishes and its really slow.

Then on others its fine and demuxes fine.

They are mkv's with 1 audio and 1 video track remuxed from blu rays. Non HD audio tracks regular dts and ac3

Any ideas?

[chunkylover67]

Sometimes, when I try to encode FLV videos on Ripbot264, it always gives me an error saying that it can't detect the frame rate. To work around this I have to use another encoder like Megui to generate an AVS script so Ripbot can then get the framerate from there. This happens on most FLV videos I download on the internet.

Then, on most WMV files, Ripbot won't get past the 'gathering information' bit when it's analysing the file. It will just stay there.

Hey Atak !!!

I have an OLD question without answer :

" Everytime I tried to do multiple encodings i.e. different files of the same BD, it results the same file , encoded instead of different ones , 4 or 5 times ,exactly how many files are prepared for encoding...
What can I do ???
There are necessary suplimentary settings ??
There are some tricks ???
Should I put the BD files in other location ???
This option : "multiple encode" is available for different sources/BDs and not for the same source with multiple files to be encoded ???

Thanks for replay !!

[soneca]

:confused:If what I'm thinking, just rename the output files because if the file exists in that directory will be overwritten by new file.

[KwanTai]

I use RipBot264 quite often and I like it a lot! Great job!

Question. When I need to shrink the size of a Blu-ray disc (to fit on a 25GB disc) I always use RipBot to convert the Blu-ray stream using the AVCHD and the lock size options. My question is if there is a method, either using RipBot or any other software, to preserve the original VC-1 stream from the Blu-ray instead of converting it to AVCHD?

Thanks!

[Abdur Rafi]

when i rip movie,its auto hard mixed the subtitle on screen.how i do in this?
please give the urgent solution .

[benjyv]

@soneca

The existing files in that directory ( D: ) has each one a name like : 00000 , 00001 , 00002 , 00003 , etc.
Of course I've renamed the output files ( like : test 1 , test 2 , test 3 etc ) and I gave them another path ( C: ) , but the result was the same : the output files are identically with the greatest file encoded. the others are ignored.
Why ?
What should I do ???

When you choose either .m2ts RipBot automatically recognizes the main movie.
If you want to encode any other party other than the main movie will have to extract using tsMuxeR before.

[pacaveli211]

I use RipBot264 quite often and I like it a lot! Great job!

Question. When I need to shrink the size of a Blu-ray disc (to fit on a 25GB disc) I always use RipBot to convert the Blu-ray stream using the AVCHD and the lock size options. My question is if there is a method, either using RipBot or any other software, to preserve the original VC-1 stream from the Blu-ray instead of converting it to AVCHD?

Thanks!

you're not dropping your HD audio on these are you? such a shame if you are. just use tsMuxeR and mux the desired streams into bluray structure. I always pull the main playlist to do this (use bdinfo to find which one is the main one). this ensures you get the full movie (some discs have multiple m2ts files for the movie) and it has the original chapter list, which is nice to have. a decent amount of movies will fit without any encoding. if it's too large you'll have to re-encode the video track though

[pacaveli211]

@soneca

The existing files in that directory ( D: ) has each one a name like : 00000 , 00001 , 00002 , 00003 , etc.
Of course I've renamed the output files ( like : test 1 , test 2 , test 3 etc ) and I gave them another path ( C: ) , but the result was the same : the output files are identically with the greatest file encoded. the others are ignored.
Why ?
What should I do ???

how are you separately adding them. I just tried to add a random m2ts from a bluray and ripbot just pops up the playlist and file for the main movie. this leads me to believe you need to remux them and/or move them outside of the bluray structure and then encode them. I just tried the move option and it seems to work. ripbot pops up info for that specific file rather than the whole bluray

[pacaveli211]

when i rip movie,its auto hard mixed the subtitle on screen.how i do in this?
please give the urgent solution .

"its auto hard mixed the subtitle on screen"
I do not know what this means
you can add hardcoded subs under the 2nd page of the picture properties (button next to encoding bitrate)

if you're getting a subtitle track that has forced subs mixed with normal subs it means the original track is that way and just has the forced flag for those necessary
if going to bluray you can just pull the original track and mux it in, it will keep the forced flags

Thanks for your input pacaveli211.

To answer your question - no I'm not encoding the audio. I just stream it out or merge it in later using tsMuxerGUI.

Your other suggestion, to use tsMuxer, is also something I'm doing, but sometimes (as you also mention) the movie itself is too large and you need to shrink it so that it fits on a 25GB Blu-ray disc, and this is where my previous questions comes in :)

[pacaveli211]

the only way you can 'preserve the original stream' is if it fits. AVCHD is a format, not a codec. I think you mean keep it as vc-1 instead of encoding to h.264. I personally don't know of anything that encodes to vc-1.
not like it would do you any good anyways...it's not like you'll get better quality by keeping the same codec

Quick subtitle question, i've tried twice. I'm loading in the mt2s into Ripbot, and everything seems to load properly, and i'm selecting "English" in the subtitle drop down list from the "Blu-ray Structure" screen.

Then I do a custom ratio with manual crop, and encode to 720 without black bars. The resulting mkv looks great but the subtitles are not in the file. Am I missing a step, am I supposed to be "building them in picture" ? I always thought that meant they were hardcoded into the video stream and they are on the screen all the time, not just selectable?

Any advice would be appreciated.

[pacaveli211]

to hardcode subtitles you have to utilize the method I explained above: http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1428064&postcount=8394
otherwise they'll just be 'selectable' subtitles
also this page belongs to me >=)

someone a few pages back indicated some issues with raw h.264 encoding. I've noticed that when I encode raw h.264 my resulting bluray will play fine
but the navigation doesn't work properly (chapter skip, fast forward, etc). yet encoding the same file from within an mkv container seems to work fine and does not result in this issue.
bummer, that extra step to mux the video into mkv is time consuming

i want "selectable" english subtitles, which is why i wasn't sure what i was doing wrong. i thought i did everything right, but two times now they don't show up. hardcoding is not what i want, i was just asking about build in picture because i wasn't sure if that's what i needed for selectable subtitles, or if that meant hardcoding.

thanks for the response though.

[pacaveli211]

make sure after everything has demuxed and such that you click on the 'selectable subtitles' button (this is above the output file path, I'm encoding right now so I can't be more specific) and add any desired subtitles
I don't believe the drop down auto adds them as selectable, it just specifies that they should be demuxed, I may be wrong though

i think you're right. i just looked in the ripbot temp folder and there is a file named "9_subtitles_English_1080.sup"

i'm ganna load it in where you said, but last question. if i'm converting to 720p, does ripbot know to downconvert the subtitles too so everything fits where it should on the screen, or is that something i'd have to do with an external program?

thanks.

[gr1mmj0w]

correct blu-ray structure looks like this
http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/3532/86816044.png


you will have to compare both movies with your own eyes.

I'm having the same issue. My bluray structure looks exactly like that and not sure what could be the issue.

edit:
Which is also weird, I moved all the files like the other poster, and it got everything except the chapters. Which I am okay with lol. :D

I would assume so, but I don't know for sure. if you ever have any problems a quick remux could solve the issue, tsmuxer has subtitle size (resolution) options

well, it's converting again now, takes my laptop like 8-10 hours to finish, so i'll post later with the results.

[essential]

Subtitles don't work. Tried two more times, both times English subtitles are now in the file, but when you select them nothing shows on the screen. The only time it's worked is when I added the sub file into the mkv after conversion with mkvmerge, but they look terrible, they look cropped and hard to read.

[pacaveli211]

are they still in sup/pgs? the player you're using might not be able to play them
or are they in SRT? it might be the resolution setting we talked about, you could try adjusting that

[essential]

well, this time i chose "all subtitles" in the original import into ripbot. then when it came time, i did "selectable subtitles" and went into the ripbot temp directory (which is what it defaulted opening too) and selected both english subtitle files.

now ripbot created these subtitle files (all .sups), so i don't know why there is any trouble.

i am using the latest VLC for windows. as far as i knew VLC supported everything.

Anyway to keep DTS audio on ripbot?

i let ripbot import with "no audio" then use txmuxer to extract the DTS audio, and load it manually into ripbot, works great. make sure you check "downconvert DTS-HD to DTS" in tsmuxer.

yeah vlc will play sup stuff, at least in an m2ts, I haven't tried in an MKV.

depending on what you're doing you'll need to select the 'copy stream' option or do some manual muxing with tsmuxer prior or after encoding. if you need to lock size for BD9 or something you'll want to demux the core and then select that file for your audio track. if you want to keep the HD track you'll need to mux it in after the encode

[espinha]

Thanks both of you

[tp546]

@Atak_Snajpera - first off, let me just say thank you so much for writing this program - i love it and have been using it for about 2 years now. one issue i have though, (apologies if this has been mentioned but i cant go through 421 pages) is that i have been stuck using version 1.14.2 for a while now because every version released after that doesn't seem to work for me. Specifically what happens is that when I select a stream from a blu ray, it demuxes it and then once it hits 100%, it says "Gathering Informations" and just hangs there. I have literally let it sit there for over an hour on more than one occasion and nothing happens. The same thing happens in 1.14.2 when I select FLAC for audio also. I am using Win 7 x86 Ultimate. Please let me know how I can resolve this issue and if you need more info or want me to run any tests for you, just ask. Thanks so much for your help!

[Atak_Snajpera]

1) Download latest 1.16.2
2) Uninstall Ffdshow , AviSynth , Haali media splitter
3) reboot
4) install again all required apps

[jonnybravo]

Was wondering if I am doing something wrong on my old pc a quad core I thought I would see multiple ffdshow's. Now with the I7 quad core I only see 1. Did I not install something right or is this normal?

[pacaveli211]

I assume you mean in the system tray:
technically there should only ever be one while encoding (unless you're watching a video at the same time).
however, after you hit the 2nd pass the icon for the first will hang there (at least it does on my pc)
if you mouse over it, it'll disappear

[jonnybravo]

yep you are right thanks for the reply

[hutch71]

Having a fresh XP install and using the latest RIPBOT, Ffdshow , AviSynth, Haali media splitter encoding stops at a certain point depending on if I use CQ or 2-pass encoding. I noticed that these problems occur when encoding an already with BD-rebuilder edited BD with HD-audio. I assume it's a problem with eac3to or Ffdshow. Any ideas?

[benjyv]

Hey Atak !!!

http://i34.tinypic.com/2sb8xop.jpg

http://i34.tinypic.com/28tj0cm.jpg

These are 2 possibilities where a BD has 2 parts , both main parts.

How can I disable the function that chose the "main" file to be encoded ??? Can I ??? In my exemples both files are main ( part I and part II )
As per actual settings , Ripbot chose one file to be encoded , and for the second one I must copy to another location and to encode from there.
If I try to encode from original location , Ripbot will chose all the time the file that it considered to be MAIN....
This issue worries me because , as you can see from my exemples , the files are huge enough to be copied and occupy relatively more space so it can not be copied to another location every time..

Appreciations for replay !

[pacaveli211]

are you able to just choose the playlist and not the m2ts file?
cuz the playlist will reference to them both
if not....just demux/remux. an extra step yeah....but it'll solve the problem

[legend63]

HI , how to put two audio tracks ?
Many thanks.

[pacaveli211]

mux the 2nd one in after encode

[legend63]

Thanks pacaveli211.

I didn't understood what you wanna say :(

I've done like you said , but same error; this time maintain the sound track from first path and chose the image from second path...It's a totally mess and madness..

Can you explaine me in greater detail ???

I'm sorry that Atak not want to intervene and rekindle me in two words..:(

[mmiii]

Hi,

sorry for the question, but I´m very new at this.

It would be nice to add multiple files of the same format (mov from my Panasonic TZ-5) at once.
(Perhaps dragn drop via folder)
Also it would be nice to have an option to store converted files in the same folder as source file.

So I can convert a lot of my Video files very fast to mkv an play it on my Dreambox 500HD.

Is this possible?

[pacaveli211]

benjyv:
I was thinkin there was a playlist choice and m2ts choice (there isn't). I just checked with Prince of Persia which is in like 587924234 different files. ripbot scans the bluray and then gives you a playlist choice. so as long as you're choosing the right playlist it should be demuxing the whole movie. so I'm not sure what you're having trouble with. are you trying to encode something other than the main movie? if you're confused as to which playlist to choose use bdinfo

[pacaveli211]

I just tried that and the same thing happens. Any other ideas?

make sure you're fully removing everything. esp FFDshow
then reboot and do reinstalls. consider trying another version of FFDshow if you still have trouble. it seems to usually be the culprit for getting stuck at that step.

[8ternity]

Atak:

Question: Did you think that we can have mpc-hc 64bit integrated for preview with ripbot264?

Suggestion: Did it possible to schedule to start the job queue? For ex, i want to start my backup at 2am and starting ripbot 3am?
If not, did you know the dos command lines to start ripbot264.exe and hit starting queue so i can planificate an schedule manually with windows?

What's the easiest way to crop and resize while keeping Aspect Ratio intact?

For example, I'm cropping a source of 448x384 by 62 pixels from top and bottom and resizing the result to PSP 480x272, but the video comes out stretched horizontally. Same happens when I resize down. How do I avoid the stretching - do I have to do manual calculations for each video and crop, or is there a way to crop while resizing without losing AR?

Custom [x,xx:1]

BTW. correct aspect ratios thesedays are
1,33:1 (4:3)
1,77:1 (16:9)
1,85:1
2,35:1
2,40:1

1,85:1

So that would mean I'd have to manually calculate the pixel dimensions for each source, crop and resize combination. Gets a bit tedious for hundreds of videos. Was hoping there was an easy way to automate it - such as "force output to 1,33:1 AR at 272 pixels high."

[Atak_Snajpera]

yes if your source has crazy aspect ratio.

[benjyv]

ripbot scans the bluray and then gives you a playlist choice.

How that ???How to scan FULL Bluray ??
I knew that it can scan just ONE file from the BDMV list..
Can you explain me how to do that ???

[pacaveli211]

it does it automatically. when you choose an m2ts from within the BD structure it auto scans and gives you this screen:
http://i37.tinypic.com/21wz9g.png
and from there you must select the proper playlist for the movie
some blurays will have multiple cuts (theatrical vs directors) there will be a playlist that coincides for each

[dirk362]

Not a question or request - just making an observation...

If you have multiple fullstops in the file name, these are all removed and replaced with spaces.
I assume this relates to the automation for the --title part of the muxfiles.cmd ???
Just means if you want to have movie.year.mkv for example you have to edit the muxfiles.cmd file manually before you click start (so that title has with spaces, and filename has . as entered)

Recently, I tried to re-encode Sound Stage: Seal (sample (http://www.mediafire.com/?d6ospjsookshl39)) to AVCHD. It's a 1080i/29.97 source file and I would like to keep it like that. I didn't specify decimate

However, the final result is 1080p/29.97 (output file (http://www.mediafire.com/?d1za766t9jfjisb)) even though I didn't specify interlace or decimate. As I recalled, older versions for RipBot264 didn't do this.

Why ???
Should be activated all the time ???
I've tried and checked 3 BDs , all of them having playlist , but none is shown in that screen as in your exemple....
When I clicked on " ADD " directed me to BDMV / STREAM / m2ts file.... Here all the time I chose the biggest one file , which is the main one....
How to do to appear that Playlist windows activated ??
There are necessary suplimentary setting to do ??

Source is progressive 29.97fps. It is only marked as interlaced for blu-ray compatibility.

[glen8]

something I have noticed after encoding quite a few of my movies..............

The normalize setting seems to randomly go between 100% and off. I just loaded in an .m2ts file and after it demuxed the streams the normalize went to off. I then shut the program down and did it again. Same movie, but this time the normalize stayed at 100%. Weird.

Can I tell which of my movies have the normalize on? is there some kind of marker within the audio stream which will tell me which of my movies has it on or off?

Thanks

[pacaveli211]

-benjyv
maybe your bluray structure is incorrect or some of your playlist files are missing?
did you try scanning it with BDinfo?
maybe ripbot is just having trouble with that disc/bluray for some reason?

if you can't get ripbot to pull the playlist up it's only going to encode whichever m2ts you've chosen
so....you'll want to just manually join / demux / remux the movie and then encode it

Is this possible?

Hey Atak !!

I'm back with a new question :
- which one is better : x264@L4.1 or High@L4.0 ???
- which one is newest ???

[soneca]

benjyv,

Take a look at the first page.

[pacaveli211]

benjyv, Atak never answers you, you should stop addressing your questions to him =P
neither is better per se, just use 4.1 if you're going to need bitrates over 20k

[benjyv]

recently appeared on the marked new type of BDs - 3D format .iso. Ripbot ,of course ,cannot encode them.
what soft/s are necessary to be able to see internal files ( m2ts) and what soft can split or to extract them???
I have a XP SP3 , Daemon Tools Pro but these are not enough....those who have installed Win 7 can easy process these files...
any idea or help ???

@pacaveli211

I'd like to use 4.1 but how ??? Ripbot is setted on 4.0 as I know.....

[stinman]

Hey Atak !!

I'm back with a new question :
- which one is better : x264@L4.1 or High@L4.0 ???
- which one is newest ???
if you ever want to burn them back to a disk,keep 4.1

[benjyv]

@stinman

How to keep 4.1 ?? Ripbot is setted on 4.0 ...

[pacaveli211]

you don't need 4.1 to burn anything to disk. I've burned 100's of discs with 4.0
you only need 4.1 if you need bitrates higher than 20000.
to get 4.1 or higher in ripbot you have to create a custom profile
TSMuxeR should be able to demux any bluray stuff, I've not tried it on 3d....but I don't see it having a problem with it
it should just have faster framerates

[chiwalfrm]

I am using RipBot264 to convert from M2TS file to MP4 to play on PS3. My PS3 is connected to TV using component
video, and a toslink optical cable for audio.

The MP4 file does not play any audio on PS3 if ripbot264 audio output is set to:
5.1 CT AAC-LC 256 kbps [abr]
5.1 CT AAC-LC 320 kbps [abr]

It does play if set below these two, for example, it works fine if using:
5.1 CT AAC-HE 192 kbps [abr]
no other changes except this...and audio works.

I was wondering why this is? Or perhaps I am doing something wrong. Thank you for your help.

[Mutant]

Hi,
I just started using this program and found it to be the best by far for ripping BR to MKV when said BR has TrueHD sound instead of the normal DTS.

One question I have to ask is will it ever support DTS?
As in at the moment if I rip a BR that has DTS sound it converts it to AC3.

But I want to be able to keep DTS within the MKV without having to use a different program to extract the DTS track from the blu-ray and then mux it after RipBot has finished.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Ripbot264 is set to always convert DTS-MA to uncompressed .w64 instead of DTS-CORE. AC3 640kbps = DTS CORE 1536kbps in terms of quality.
So it is better to convert .w64 to AC3 640kbps. No need to waste space for bigger DTS-core.

you only need 4.1 if you need bitrates higher than 20000.
25000 not 20000

I am using RipBot264 to convert from M2TS file to MP4 to play on PS3. My PS3 is connected to TV using component
video, and a toslink optical cable for audio.
Use AVCHD format instead of mp4. Then copy .m2ts file to PS3 hard drive.

[bigggt]

I need help when trying to convert a bluray to ac3.

Everytime the bluray has a VC1 codec and i try to convert to ac3 i get this

http://www.mediafire.com/?3qz61188me6k1t9

anyone have any ideas what my problem is

thanks

[benjyv]

I need a help , yet....
As i told above , recently appeared on the marked new type of BDs - 3D format .iso.
Ripbot ,of course ,cannot encode them.
What soft/s are necessary to be able to see internal files (.m2ts) and what soft can split and extract them???
I have a XP SP3 , Daemon Tools Pro but these are not enough....those who have installed Win 7 can easy process these files...
any idea or help ???
Someone tell me I need AnyDVD for seeing those files as .m2ts....
Who knows and has experience in this area?

[pacaveli211]

yeah, my bad. 4.1 is for 25000 and higher not 20000. must've confused it with the other bitrate wiki lists for 4.0

Mutant - probably not going to happen, for a few reasons:
Atak is an AC3 supporter
DTS stuff doesn't seem to be as open / free as AC3. i.e. you have to purchase special software for encoding it an such

benjyv - I answered your question already. And with retail media you always need some type of decryption software (such as AnyDVD)

bigggt - I don't see how the video codec could relate to an audio issue as they're both separate tracks
what type of audio does the bluray usually have / which audio track are you choosing?
is your source actually bluray?

[bigggt]

yep its bluray and most of the time the audio is dts ma

this happens on every VC1 i have and only VC1

If i use eac3togui it works no problem

[pacaveli211]

hmmm, well I'm really not sure. make sure the full audio track is being demuxed to your temp folder. (should be somewhere around 3-6GB depending on bitrate and movie length)
if you haven't done so make sure everything is up to date / recent (ripbot / FFDShow / Haali)
you probably know as a work around you can demux and keep the DTS core or use eac3to to transcode it
otherwise wait and see if anyone else here might know

something I just noticed is that the file is EXACTLY 5MB
that might be indicative of....something, or did you split/cut it just for upload sample?

[bigggt]

Yes i split the file to make easier to upload

I just deleted all my temp files so i can't check the size but will next time

what it also does is when i play the converted file it makes the playtime over 10 hours or something like that

Like i said its no big deal as i know a workaround , i was just wondering if anyone knew the problem

thanks

[Atak_Snajpera]

@bigggt
Show me demuxlog.txt from jobx folder

[bigggt]

I don't know if it makes a difference but i take all my bluray's and use Another Eac3to gui and save them as mkv to store them on external hard drives(hooked up to Popcorn Hour A-200).

when i load the resulting mkv into ripbot i don't get demuxlog.txt

I know you suggest to do it right from the bluray but this is much easier for me

would this be the problem

[pacaveli211]

MKV doesn't get along well with HD audio

[HydrogenAlpha]

I wonder if anyone can help me solve this most persistent and irritating of problems. I've been using ripbot to transcode my BluRays to MKV for my NAS for about 6 months now. Originally I got an error with VC-1 files:

DirectShowSource: couldn't open file F:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\video.mkv:
The system cannot find the file specified.
(F:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)

We're all familiar with it. I eventually solved it by installing avisynth, haali and ffdshow in that specific order as prescribed here by 8ternity (thanks , btw :-)). Transcoding to MKVs was a breeze and the program worked flawlessly for about 100 blurays. However, I recently reinstalled the OS (Win 7 professional x64 ) and now I can't get it to work on VC-1s again. Same error. I've trawled this forum but no solution seems to get rid of the error. I currently have Ajax's latest installer's versions installed but no joy. (avisynth 258, Haali splitter v1.9.42.1, ffdshow rev 3516 and ripbot v1.16.2). I uninstalled everything first, restarted and then reinstalled as frequently recommended - but no luck. VC-1 is set to wmv9 - still no luck. Am now tearing out hair and swearing at computer, but that doesn't seem to help either. Windows is fully up to date and DirectX is installed and up to date.

The problem is mega frustrating as I know it can do it, but somehow I can't make it work again. Using the files I used the first time and in the same order mysteriously doesn't work either. I can see loads of people have had this problem - pacaveli211, 8ternity etc. What am I doing wrong?

Atak - it would be very helpful if you could add links to the latest proven compatible support files to your signature. That way we'd mostly all be using the same versions and singing from the same hymn sheet, so to speak. They'd only need to be updated when you bring out a new version, and maybe not even then. I know there are links from within ripbot, but these don't point to the most recent [B]compatible versions specifically - just to the latest versions. What does everyone think?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

[pacaveli211]

change VC-1 to libavcodec
also, as a work around, you can try demuxing / remuxing into MKV prior to encoding

[Dennis.78]

I had a look at the jobX_EncodeAudio.cmd and wondered about the datarates:

5.1 CT AAC-HE 192 kbps [abr] 193536, should be 196608 (192x1024)

5.1 CT AAC-LC 320 kbps [abr] 327680, correct (320x1024)

[Atak_Snajpera]

The system cannot find the file specified.
When you see this error go to F:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\ folder. If file video.mkv is not there check demuxlog.txt. It should give all neccessary information.

@Dennis.78
CT-AAC encoder sometimes encodes at lower bitrate than specified in command line. I had to increase bitrate in order to achive more accurate bitrate.

[HydrogenAlpha]

Thanks for the rapid replies guys.

The stream select page in RopBot just shows no chapters, an empty video box, no audio and no subtitles for 2 movie playlists. Any idea what's going wrong?

@Pacaveli211

Thank you very much for suggestions. Unfortunately, changing VC-1 to libavcodec made no difference - same error. I think RipBot now changes it automatically to wmv9 on startup. As for manually demuxing and remuxing...

a) I don't know how to do that (yet)
b) This was working 3 weeks ago on exactly the same bluray so I would love to restore the original functionality if possible.

It may come to manual demuxing and remuxing - but am not ready to admit defeat yet.

I'm sure it's a simple problem, but I'm damned if I know the solution.

Are you sure that your movie has been correctly decrypted?

Try this:
1) make sure that you have latest AnyDVD-HD version running in background
2) select .m2ts directly from disc in ripbot

:goodpost:

This was an excellent suggestion. As it turns out I did actually have the latest version of AnyDVD-HD installed (6683) - but the problem didn't exist before I updated it...

So I rolled it back to 6680 - same problem...

So I rolled it back to 6660 - PROBLEM SOLVED.

My copy of AnyDVD-HD is fully legit, by the way, so there really is a problem with the software screwing up the video as it decrypts the Blu Ray disc, which seems to have arisen in 6680 and not been fixed in 6683.

I can't tell you how many times I've installed and reinstalled everything over the past week, thinking it was the original problem I had had coming back. Anyway, thanks a million for Jedi computer skills, and for great program. You rock.

Oh, and thanks to Ajax for his installer - it really makes it a LOT easier installing compatible versions of the necessary files for Ripbot.

@ Atak,

I don't if this has been requested yet, is there an option in Ripbot to disable header compression?

[Atak_Snajpera]

header compression should be disabled by default in 1.16.2.

[dbone1026]

header compression should be disabled by default in 1.16.2.

Great, thanks for the quick response.

[Achilleus]

Atak,
Once again thank you for this great software. I am having one problem and it only occurs when I attempt to use normalize function. I am attempting using normalize as I am playing back on a samsung galaxy 2 (Sprint Epic) and volumes have been low. So attempting normalize 200% I am getting what looks like a hang up on "initialing please wait'. I had had version 1.15, where this also hung, and recently updated to most current to see if that was the problem. it is still occurring. This is a dts track being converted down to 2.0 ct aac-lc at 128.

Is there a known common issue? something I should check that commonly causes this problem? I do not see a log file generated after abort.
Thank you for the program and any help you can offer with my problem.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Sometimes it takes more time. I can only advise to leave it for night. If after such long time you still see "initializing..." then we have a problem here.

[MAF1973]

I haven't searched the entire thread, but from what I have searched I haven't found an answer.

Is there a way to use the "xcopy stream" method when encoding a blu-ray/m2ts? When I encode a dvd/vob, I can simply selec the xcopy stream and get the original DTS/AC3 stream which the receiver can decode. When I chose to encode a blu-ray/m2ts I have the option to transcode the audio or convert to FLAC. Is there no way to simply copy the original DTSHD/TRUEHD stream into the mkv? -or am I missing/misinterpreting an option?

Thanks,

Hello,
i have the same problem. For DVD it works correct but for BD's i have no XCOPY-Stream Selection?
Any clues?

[andyd2k]

Are there known issues with processing? I mean it really doesn't make sense to me that m2ts files from the Band of Brothers Bluray run at different rates.

Not sure if I'm wrong to read it this way but I don't see why some files are stuck around 3.9 fps while others average above 5.5fps. If it's the right way to read it, it still seems like some m2ts files take a lot longer than others do from the same set

[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.

Any thoughts on this? :)

Would definitely be a nice speed increase for those with more than one CPU core.

[GSingh]

I just installed Windows 7 recently and ripbot is giving me problems. Same goes for my friends computer as well. first off, if I try to denoise a video, it says "LoadPlugin: unable to load "D:\Program Files\ripbot264\tools\avisynth plugins\fft3dgpu\fft3dgpu.dll" (S:\temp\ripbot264temp\job1\job1_preview.avs"

and if I just try to do a straight up 2 pass encode without any cropping or any other tweaks, it just stops at the end of the first pass.

Any solution?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Dynamic movies with full 16:9 frame (without black bars) will require more time to encode due to more data to be analyzed.

video encoding can take few hours. 10min for audio is nothing.

yes I saw the first post. it doesn't say anything about the encode freezing after the first pass. I let it go last night and it still says "pass 1" and it is stuck at 100%

[muhadi]

why (320x240)? his screen 432x240 a video bitrate to choose?

[Mr. Monte]

Ripbot264 is set to always convert DTS-MA to uncompressed .w64 instead of DTS-CORE. AC3 640kbps = DTS CORE 1536kbps in terms of quality.
So it is better to convert .w64 to AC3 640kbps. No need to waste space for bigger DTS-core.

I have Flight of th ePheonix Bluray that has a MPV (MPEGII - 1080 video) & DTS-MA for audio.

When I use Ripbot 1.16.2, I get an avisynth error unless I choose, no audio and no chapters. In the past if a Bluray had DTS-MA, I would only have OGG & AAC options, no AC3 options.

Lastly, a poster above mentioned Atak is a AC3 guy, however, I understand DTS encoding might take other SW, but TSMuxer will strip the MA from a DTS file and make it a plain DTS 5.1 file. Then Ripbot could have the "copy audio" option.

Currently, I have to take my DTS-MA Blurays and:

Use TSMuxer to demux the DTS-MA to DTS
Use Ripbot to select the m2ts stream without audio
Let Ripbot encode the Video only
Open MKVMerge and combine the video and dts stream

:thanks:

[VHT]

Question about RipBot264. I'am wondering is it possible just to remux a H.264 video (stream copy) and DTS audio in to a new mkv container without re-encoding the video?
I've had bunch of problems with mkvtoolnix and muxing with it lately. My stand-alone player doesn't seem to like recent changes that has been done to mkvtoolnix and now I have bunch of movies waiting for remuxing...

No. Maybe try reverting to an earlier version of mkvmerge before you started having problems. Also, are you sure the problems are not related to header compression?

[pacaveli211]

ripbot is an encoding tool use eac3to/tsmuxer/mkvmerge/etc for muxing stuff
download the older mkvtoolnix if the new one gives you issues....(or figure out why, it might be a simple setting)

Hi Mr. Monte,

In such cases I

Use the eac3to to extract DTS core
Ripbot to select the m2ts and DTS extracted
Ripbot to encode and combine the video and the DTS track

[Mr. Monte]

soneca,

Why do you use Eac3to instead of TsMuxer? (If any reason at all)
Looks almost th esame..except saves one step..thanks

Just curious, and of course Atak does not have to do it..it's his app and it's free. So I am not in any way trying to "expect" it. just wondering why AC3 audio has a copy mode, but DTS does not. TSMuxer is used by Ripbot and could do th esteps above that I do manually.

Thanks again

[Mr. Monte]

Hi Mr. Monte,

In such cases I

Use the eac3to to extract DTS core
Ripbot to select the m2ts and DTS extracted

Curious, when you select the DTS extracted in Ripbot, you only get AC3 or AAC. How do you get Ripbot to mux the DTS track with the encode without re-encoding the audio?

Thanks

[soneca]

If you select the DTS track extracted, will have the option "x.x copy stream" available on RipBot.

no need to waste space for higher bitrate. Don't forget that AAC is more efficient than old mp3.

[soneca]

No, it's just a matter of habit.
But eac3to is a more comprehensive tool to handle audio tracks.

[vaporizer]

All of a sudden i get hardsubbed video output from ripbot264 1.16.2.
After checking, sources were .mkv with one subtitle track flagged 'default: yes', sometimes also 'forced: yes'.
No subtitle things set in ripbot, only video and audio parameters.

The only thing i changed on my system (regarding video stuff)
was to update win7codecs, which did not include a dvobsub update.

I do not remember if the files i encoded prior to this hardsub-error-happening had no default setting.

My temporary solution is to:
1) remux the sourcefile to a video+audio only mkv, no subs, therefore no confusing flags or settings.
2) This 'no confusing stuff in it'-file gets encoded then.
3) The resultfile gets muxed with the source file, replacing the source's video + audio streams

i guess this happens due to the fact that ripbot makes use of the mkv via directshowsource in 'job1.avs',
instead of extracting the video stream to job1 directory. (however, i do not question this decision, it's ok)

Here are my questions:
- Has anyone else this problem?
- Does Ripbot tell haali or vobsub not to use subs while encoding? If so, why does vobsub ignore it, matter of settings?
Or is this behaviour intentional?
- Any other help or tips?

sorry for my crap english, it's late, and its my first post on a video-related forum.

[Chipps]

Thank you for this very useful program, as well as the time you spend here answering questions.

I have read all of the posts for 2010. I cannot find a definitive answer to a problem I am having.

I have one BD disc I cannot transfer to the hard drive.

I am using AnyDVD HD version 6.6.8.3 to read the disc. Then RipBot264 version 1.16.1 to transfer it to a file.

At the encoding stage I receive this error:

“DirectShowSource: couldn't open file D:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\video.mkv:
The system cannot find the file specified.
(D:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)”

The error message is correct. There is no such file in that directory.

I do not have any other codecs installed. I have removed and reloaded all files ripbot264 uses. I have even reloaded the operating system.

The mkvinfo.txt file says:

“Error: The source file 'D:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\video.mkv' could not be opened successfully, or retrieving its size by seeking to the end did not work.”

The demuxlog.txt says:

chipps:
I suggested this as I read elsewhere it fixed the issue for someone. you might want to change your mpeg2 codec. there's also a work-around here
http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1432806&postcount=8465

this is more likely what's causing your issue though
http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1433021&postcount=8470
consider trying the same thing he did and see if it fixes it

@vaporizer

thanks for your quick answer.

leaving out the 'codec pack discussion':
so the solution is to uninstall / not install directvobsub, as it is the problematic component here, right?

maybe put a check of 'known problematic components' into the script which checks for haali, ffdshow etc. ?
yes i know this list could never be complete and up-to-date, and so on. just a thought.

[Chipps]

Thanks. I tried the old version of AnyDVD HD. That did not help.

I do not see where I change from VC-1.

[pacaveli211]

the codec settings are within the FFDshow config options. and your issue is with an mpeg2, that's why I was sayin try changing that. the vc-1 codec shouldn't be relevant (since it's mpeg2, not vc-1)
also make sure you're choosing the right video track (sometimes blurays have secondary video tracks for commentary / behind the scenes kinda stuff), I say this because I see information in your log about standard def video...which you shouldn't have since you're encoding a bluray
if none of this is helpful like I said in that other post you can always just demux/remux yourself
or wait for Atak to answer

[Chipps]

Thanks for the advice. This is a Blu-ray disc. I have transferred seven other Blu-ray discs without any problem using this same method so I assume it is something about just this disc. I just cannot figure out what it is so far.

[pacaveli211]

most discs are AVC or VC-1
your info indicates this one is mpeg2, not really that common for blurays

[Atak_Snajpera]

@Chipps
7: Subtitle (SRT)
This subtitle conversion is not supported. <ERROR>”

1) update ripbot264 to 1.16.2
2) Do not demux ALL SUBTITLES. Select only one language

@vaporizer
you don't need directvobsub because ffdshow already can do the same! Trust me all codec packs are useless. Haali Media Splitter + ffdshow is all you need for conversion/playback!

[Chipps]

That solved the problem. Thank you very much.

[Yeomans]

Hey guys I'm having a strange problem I hope one of you guys can help me out with..

I use DVBViewer to watch tv on my pc and all was fine but after running the newest ripbot I found that the video in DVBViewer goes blurry and the framerate appears to be lower.

If i reinstall K-Lite codec pack then the issue is fixed, but as soon as I run Ripbot again the output in DVBViewer again becomes blurry. Anyone got any idea what ripbot is changing to make this happen?

Thanks in advance!

[futurex]

video encoding can take few hours. 10min for audio is nothing.

I was thinking more along the lines of encoding for iPods and other portable devices, for example. With low resolution and complexity, the encodes are very fast (hundreds of frames per second), just seems to be a quite noticeable 'bottleneck' (if that's the correct term here) for people who batch encode for such devices. Most of the CPU does nothing for a good while before each encode starts, depending on length ofcourse.

I love your application regardless, was only suggesting it because I thought it would be a nice improvement for almost all users. :)

[kiwi32]

Hi,
Thank you for this program!
It came across my way while I was looking to convert mkv files with an uncompatible audio format to stream to my LG TV,or H264 files to mkv again for my TV.However,I am wondering is there is a batch function to the program that I am missing?I have 150 small files to convert and would like to do it with your program,but adding them one by one seems too painful...
Thanks.

[Chipps]

I have a DVD - Das Boot - that defaults to German. It has an English version of the dialog. I can play it from the DVD using Windows Media Player. However, I cannot see where I select the English version in Ripbot264. Select Streams would seem to be the place, but it does not appear. What step am I missing?

[scooter2486]

I've been using Ripbot for quite some time with regular Bluray movies and so far it has worked great to build my NAS home theater library. Now I want to start putting money into the Bluray 3D movies and was wondering if anyone has tried one and the feedback of how it went?

Hi,

I have a problem that was discussed a couple of posts before.
First the proceeding:
I added the subtitles to the job, thereby converting from .sup to .sub. Then I assigned a language to the subtitles and started the conversion.
Result: Selectable subtitles embedded in a mkv container are selectable in VLC Player, but are actually not displayed. For other mkvs (not created with ripbot) it works - so it's no VLC issue. Is this problem a known issue with the current version of RipBot?

Thanks in advance

Will you consider adding the support before it is implemented in ffdshow?:p

I am sure many of the users can live with installing real alternative to use RipBot264 to encode .rmvb source until ffdshow supports .rmvb.;)

Pretty please?:o

Thank you to each one problem solved! but for some reason when I load in some movies RipBot program does not see the audio track? have to separately add an audio track! tell me how to make the program to see any audio tracks?

[Atak_Snajpera]

but for some reason when I load in some movies RipBot program does not see the audio track?
What does "some movies" mean exactly? Do I have to guess?

@benjyv
update eac3to and try again.

In some films had to download the audio track separately! how and what you want to configure the program to download any movies from Adio tracks

Thanks for accepting my request!:thanks:
It contains 2 sample, 1 with cook audio and 1 with raac audio.

Hope it's not too much to ask, but do you mind adding this feature to the to-do list for future version of RipBot264?:o

Hey Atak

quick question: Will it be possible in a future release to add a job while encoding? It takes a long time for me to add 24 episodes to the queue list, in this time one episode can be finished encoding.

[benjyv]

update eac3to and try again.

Which is the shortest way ???
I've downloaded the new version of eac3to within C:\Program Files\Megui\Tools....
I've kept the old version too....
Scuze me , but I don't know how to update this soft :( All the time I had troubles with this soft :(
or tell me how to check within Ripbot if the update was made.....
Should I delete and re install Ripbot to take new updates into account ???
I'm a lil confused :(

Thanks !!

As long as you answered I decided the problem! how to configure the program to make quicker convertible?

The audio becomes out of sync where the issue occurs. Anyway to correct it?

[pacaveli211]

split the track at the gap and add some delay to the second part
or find some blank audio to add in
or....try demuxing with TSmuxer as it should not do anything with the gap (except maybe say it's there)

[patmann03]

Ya, I got it thanks. I split the track and remuxed while adjusting the audio... which took a bit of trial and error to get correct. Then I merged and remuxed.

Can you help me , too ????

I've downloaded eac3to - last version - and I want to know if it was installed iwithin Ripbot...If it was made the update..

thanks!!

[pacaveli211]

get the latest version from: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=125966
extract contents to: RipBot264\Tools\eac3to

[benjyv]

When I installed last version of Ripbot it makes just 2 files : Ripbot.exe and Ripbot.ini....Where could be Tools ???
I've extract it into Megui\tools\eac3to...I hope will work , even it says that is a 2008 version :( Why is so old ???

if you really don't have those folders, your installation didn't go right. I suspect maybe you're not lookin in the install directory or something though



Changed: HD Audio is now decompressed directly to .w64 instead of intermediate .wav (eac3to 3.21 fixed bug in .w64 header)
fixed:Changed: HD Audio can now be demuxed and copied instead of always, retardedly being decompressed directly to .w64

see how much better that sounds? =)

[Atak_Snajpera]

eac3to cannot fix audio gaps while demuxing TrueHD.
24 bit DTS-MA+DTS-Core is just a waste of space. 16 bit FLAC is a better option and don't tell me that you hear difference between 24bit and 16bit.

[pacaveli211]

flac is not really option if you have a bluray player
it's also not if you like keeping things as unmodified / original as possible
DTS-HD MA is not a waste of space because it is lossless. however wav / PCM is a waste of space because it contains redundancies

I was unaware of eac3to not being able to fix gaps in TrueHD. I'm not sure I've run across a branched bluray with TrueHD though
it is able to fix them while demuxing / decompressing though?

[nst6563]

Is there any benefit to using CoreAVC w/Cuda support to decode the video for Ripbot vs ffdshow's ffmpeg-mt?

I was just messing around with it last night and when using CoreAVC /Cuda the Video Engine load (as reported by GPU-Z) was around 10%-20% while ripbot was running and the x264 was at 98%-99% cpu usage and avysynth (I think that was the name anyway) was using around 1%-2%.

So by offloading the decoding to the nvidia card via Cuda does that provide any benefit to the encoding speed (assuming the decoding would be using roughly the same 10-20% of cpu instead of GPU - I'm a complete noob and have been looking these things up as I have time)? I did notice that while using ripbot and CoreAVC together Ripbot doesn't update progress and the window simply shows "not responding". I've seen a lot of posts about benchmarks on decoding speed...but not really any using it along with encoding for speed benefit.

I'm doing an encode right now just to see (Prince of Persia blu-ray) and when it's done I'm going to re-do it with the same settings only with CoreAVC.
I just figured I'd ask here to see if anyone had any thoughts if it was worth it or not or if the gains (if any) to be had were negligible.

[Atak_Snajpera]

flac is not really option if you have a bluray player
if you do BD50 -> BD25 conversion you can always use pcm (.w64).

DTS-HD MA is not a waste of space because it is lossless.
In comparision to FLAC it is not very efficient. (placebo 24bit + DTS-core)

it is able to fix them while demuxing / decompressing though?
eac3to can fix gaps only while decompressing to .wav/.w64

[pacaveli211]

if you do BD50 -> BD25 conversion you can always use pcm (.w64).
if I use PCM for a BD25 I waste GBs of space that could be used for video. and then it just doesn't sound the same. something to do with surround sound decoding the audio vs the bluray player. and once again...it's just unnecessary especially when I want to keep the original audio

In comparision to FLAC it is not very efficient. (placebo 24bit + DTS-core)
FLAC may compress better....but like I said, it doesn't matter because there are reasons you wouldn't want to use FLAC

eac3to can fix gaps only while decompressing to .wav/.w64
I assume we're still talkin about only TrueHD (i.e. it can fix gaps with DTS tracks)
I do have a question about that though....does eac3to automatically fix gaps? or does it require anything extra in the command to do so
in eac3to and more gui there's a "If Gaps File Found, Rerun Command Line For Affected Files" option
I don't see anything extra added to the command line and the log reads the same had I not checked it.
and this is eac3to fixing the overlaps right:[a04] Starting 2nd pass...

Hello Atak,

I've experience some movies burned with BDMV + CERTIFICATE folder burned after conversion of PS3 reading only has a file (seen only folders) need to navigate and select the m2ts file has a file.

Some LG Bluray readers of my mother can't read the disc! I tested to change medias type, brand, burner, it does the same.

Now i test to repack again with tsmuser to AVCHD format to reburn and see if the problem is resolved.

Did you get feedback of this issue from other members?

8ternity

EDIT: when project is done, less folder having in the BDMV subfolder. Here an example˝:

@8ternity
Which one is working for you? Ripbot264 is set to create strict AVCHD structure (empty redundant folders are removed)

@muhadi
try Restore -> 23.976 fps

I assume we're still talkin about only TrueHD (i.e. it can fix gaps with DTS tracks)
eac3to can't fix gaps in trueHD. I'm not sure about DTS-MA though.

@Lobstaman
Did you try to manually select resolution? ( Custom [x,xx:1] )

[pacaveli211]

well like I was saying, this is eac3to fixing the overlaps, isn't it??
[a04] Starting 2nd pass...
[a04] Realizing DTS gaps...

so how about giving a choice somewhere. whether to keep the original audio track or to demux to wav and then do flac or whatever else???
cuz I know I'm not the only one making bd25s nor the only one who likes too keep DTS-HD MA. and this way the person can choose what they'd prefer to do with the audio.

[Atak_Snajpera]

We all know that x264 encoder is extremly efficient so 20-25Mbps is more that enough for 1920x1080. BD25 has also enough space for uncompressed audio.
Quick example:
20Mbps (bitrate for video) / 8 = 2.5 MB/s
120 min movie = 7200 s

2.5MB/s * 7200 = 18000 MB

23830 MB (real BD25 size) - 18000 MB (video size) = 5830 MB (to be used by audio stream)

48000(Hz)*8(channels)*2(16bit)=750KB/s

750KB/s*7200s=5400000KB=5273 MB

18000MB + 5273 MB = 23273 MB

As you can see despite 8 channel audio uses only ~5GB on disc. Also don't forget that DTS-MA is not really supported in strict AVCHD structure.

[pacaveli211]

I don't mux to AVCHD for BD25's, I mux to bluray structure.
and once again....there are more reasons than just space to keep tracks like DTS-HDMA. So why does it even matter if you can fit uncompressed audio?
if you can fit the original DTS-HDMA track and use ~2GB less space it'd be stupid to waste that 2GB of space with PCM audio....
you have the same audio....and use less space, why is there any argument there?
with DTS-HDMA some movies still have to be dropped quite low to fit BD25. robin hood, for example, I had to drop under 16000. imagine if I'd wasted even more space using PCM

I don't understand why you always insist on arguing simply because you don't like something or you wouldn't personally want to use it. I know this is your tool and all that...but if it's something people would
use and can benefit from...why not add it?

All folders is there with BLURAY structure export in tsmuxer. What im questionnig myself, did export in bluray structure can cause disc faillure in PS3 has burned on DVD5/9 format? I will remux it in AVCHD + reburn and retest, before bring back my brother ps3.

Thanks!

HI Atak;

I've messed with bluray vs avchd mux before
I burned a bd9 after muxing to bluray, a bluray player and a PS3 wouldn't read it
if you're burning DVD5/DVD9 use AVCHD
if you're burning BD25/BD50 use Bluray
I've never tried muxing to AVCHD for a bluray disc.....but I'm not wasting a bd-r to find out if it works or not =P

Just to answer my own question and in case anyone else was interested...Using CoreAVC w/cuda for decoding the source blu-ray video shaved around an hour off the encoding time.

[chunkylover67]

I'm thinking for the next version of Ripbot264 that perhaps there could be an autoupdate feature or something? Like, there'd be a notification that would pop up whenever you release an update.

[pacaveli211]

-Atak
but how will using that program help me convince you to add HD audio support to ripbot? =)

[soneca]

The algorithm used by Dolby has always been more efficient ie same quality using less space.
The difference between HD and conventional audio(1536/640kbps) is minimal, just a blinded test.
What marketing and a 4 decibels(DTS) do not cause people's heads ...

Hi to everybody,

Firstly, I wanted to add my self in the thanks list of this great tool.
:thanks: Atak.

Recently I bought the Spider Man trilogy.
While with Spider Man I & 3 everything went fine, I got an avisynth error with Spider Man 2 and particularly I followed the next steps:

1) With anydvd HD and tsmuxer I created a blue ray disk on the hard drive.
By looking inside the STREAM folder of the blue ray disk there are multiple smaller files and not just a big one to select (inside the initial blue ray disk).

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll104/mpamphs70/VIDEO%20ENCODING/SPIDERMANII_AVISYNTHERROR.jpg

2) After a while I got the following error:

i am using ripbot software...after a lot of try ripping my avchd video with ac3 (5,1 channl) ripping...whenever i try to play the video on pc it works fine but it doesnt play smooth on BD PLAYER then i tried it on PS3 but no response...i tried MKV format..then i tried MP4 and the same thing happens.. dont know what i am missing and what is the problem.. Please help me out.

Thanks

-soneca
we're not discussing DTS vs AC3. And back when TV's and monitors were CRT/standard def you couldn't really tell the difference between xvid rips and dvd....doesn't mean there's not a difference.
I'm aware AC3 is more efficient.....I also know DTS always seems to sound better. lastly burning a bluray and dropping HD sound would be stupid.

if that doesn't fix it you can also try changing your VC-1 codec in FFDShow. that's been known to fix it at times as well

[juGGaKNot]

new jobs can be added while encoding

that is great.

What about "folder selection", is that in the plans ? ( i have ofer 5000 videos that i want to convert to psp... )

I installed AnyDVDHD v.6660, it didn't make any difference.
I uninstall everything (avisynth,ffdshow,haali media splitter).
I rebooted and installed everything again, also made no difference both with AnyDVDHD v.6660 and v.6710.
I changed VC-1 codec from wmv9 to libavodec, still the problem existed.
After searching around in this thread I found a previous post by Atak saying that simpler solutions are often the best and particularly by selecting ANY .m2ts from Blu-Ray disc in ripbot264.
That was the solution.:)
Using AnyDVDHD v.6710 I selected an m2ts file (anyone) directly from the blue ray disk and the selected streams were demuxed successfully.
Now I'm happy encoding. :thanks: for the help.

First and foremost, I want to thank you from making this program. It's exactly what I had been searching for!

Sorry if this has been asked before, I just don't have the time to read through 429 pages!

Is there any plan to add support for ffdshow 64-bit? Currently, I need to install both the 32 and 64 bit versions. It'd be nice not to need the 32-bit version.

Thanks, but not what I meant. If I install the 64 bit version of ffdshow (and not the 32 bit), RipBot won't detect ffdshow as installed. It won't run.

In order to run RipBot, I have to install the 32 bit version of ffdshow.

[soneca]

Ok, I did not understand.

But if I'm not mistaken, for while the RipBot only supports 32-bit version of ffdshow.

Try a previous version of x264, see if the artifacts are still there.
I will check out your sample when I get home.:)

Update: The artifacts appears even when I open the original source file when I open it in MPC-HC, it seems that the problem lies with how ffdshowmt decode the file.
The earlier version of RipBot works fine as it index the file with DGAVCIndex before encoding.
Things changed since v1.13.0.

v1.13.0
Added: support for x264 64bit (up to 10% faster encoding)
Added: if COPY STREAM is not selected assumeFPS will also adjust audio speed (easy 25 -> 23.976 conversion)
Added: custom resize profile with locked aspect ratio
Added: always first VST_01_x.vob will be indexed instead of VIDEO_TS.VOB
Added: language combobox for audio stream
Added: support for .sup subtitles (Warning!!! Original 1080p .sup WILL NOT be visible in 720p!!!)
Added: support for .ass .ssa subtitles in mkv container
Added: chapter extraction from .mp4
Added: UAC manifest (from now on you don't have to disable UAC)
Added: FFDshow DV decoder will be automatically enabled if necessary
Added: BD-25 size
Changed: Audio delay for convenient moved to Properties
Changed: .ts and .m2t files will be decoded via DirectShowSource instead of DGIndex or DGAVCdec (Reason: Faster decoding with FFDshow MT)
Changed: Audio from .ts and .m2t files will be demuxed in one pass
Changed: A/V same length combobox removed. CUT function is now always on (Audio and Video will always have the same lenght)
Changed: 'Tahoma' font to 'Consolas' (Installed by default in Windows Vista and 7)
Fixed: Bug which always resets VC-1 decoder to libavcodec. Default decoder is now wmv9 (Reason: Supports interlaced material)
Fixed: error 'Couldn't import DownMix2Stereo.avs'
Fixed: jobs.ini will be created immediately after creating new job
Update: x264 r1092M , eac3to v3.06 , Oggenc 2.85 aoTuVb5.61 , MediaInfo v0.7.10

I am have tried to make a .mkv from a BD, Batman The Dark Knight. It contains a Dolby TrueHD track. I tried to make a .mkv that can play on my Xtreamer.

In the latest Ripbot246 version after demuxing the videostream it only shows up 5.1 PCM that can be converted to AC3 or AAC, but I cannot choose direct stream copy. Why? Am I doing something wrong? Is there limitations to the mkv container that it cannot contain Dolby TrueHD.

Otherwise it works fine, and I really like this software Atak has made!

@Atak;

Error to Report:

Subtitles get a strange import; when it try to add a subtitle, it add an "_" caracter at the end of the name. If i rename it, it add another "_" at the end and get crashed ripbot264 and can't get out of the subtitles import box. I need to force close. but the error is in the import command.

***edit***IF it's demuxed with 1.16.3; 1.16.2 can't add it too... i test it with 1.16.2 right now and it works if it was demuxed by version 1.16.2. It happen sometimes in the old version, i just need to delete the job and re-create and it's corrected. But the version 1.16.3, it happen strongly!

Re-encoded the file using iPOD base 3.0 profile.
No problems for me.

Anyway RipBot is stuck at gathering information when opening a video with MP42 codec.

@8ternity
Try this:
1) Remove all jobs in queue
2) close ripbot264
3) open again ripbot264
4) open .mkv , select AVCHD , select resolution and then add subtitles

[TinTinFan]

I tried to read this thread but don't follow:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=152030

The Batman Dark Knight contains a Dolby TrueHD that is either demuxed as a .flac file or .w64, depending on wheter you cecked the Flac option or not . If not checked I get the option to use AC3 5.1 640 kbit/s. So ripbot264 uncompress the TrueHd track to a multichannel PCM (.w64?) which is a lossless lossless step, and then encoded to lossy 5.1 AC3. Correct?

What is that talk about AC3 core and DTS core?
Can someone explain?

Thanks,

[pacaveli211]

the only way to have HD audio with ribpot is to use PCM or FLAC
if you want to grab just the core track (this is a lossy track contained within the HD track for compatibility with older equipment) you can demux with tsMuxeR and check the 'downconvert' option
both DTS-HD and TrueHD tracks have this. DTS-HD usually has a 1536kbps DTS and TrueHD has a 640kbps AC3
if you want to keep the original TrueHD track you will need to demux / remux it into your competed file outside of ripbot

[amitabhbansal]

brother my problem is not yet solved...i am waiting for the solution.

Thanks

[Atak_Snajpera]

@amitabhbansal
your camcorder already uses AVCHD structure so why don't you just burn whole structure on DVD?

[fmagreed2]

My original questions was never answered... Any plans on adding support for the 64 bit version of ffdshow?

[8ternity]

@ATak:

Thanks i will try on the next jobs conversion.

Can you set in the ripbot264.ini file and option to disable for keeping empty folders?

[Lighto]

@ATak:

Can you set in the ripbot264.ini file and option to disable for keeping empty folders?

Not absolutely sure of what empty folders you are referring to, if you are referring to the jobs folder, uncheck keep jobs queue in RipBot.

Also, there might be a problem/bug with RipBot since it's stuck at gathering information while decoding a video with MP42 video codec.
It couldn't be ffdshow since it can decode MP42 perfectly fine.

[Atak_Snajpera]

@fmagreed2
no.

@Lighto
This is dead format. No wonder it's stuck
Codec ID/Info : Microsoft MPEG-4 v2 (pre-standard)

[radigast]

Added: new jobs can be added while encoding
Awesome! Thanks for adding this in 1.16.3, as it's a great feature! You the man.

[amitabhbansal]

@Atak_Snajpera
Brother if i burn the dvd from my camcorder (AVCHD) it will reduce the quality as the dvd resolution is 720x576...i dont have BD Recorder so i want to rip it in MKV format and keep it on DVD as file format...right now the camcorder file is of huge capacity and i cant burn 2-3 dvd's for just small time video..

[~bT~]

Did some re-encoding with a .mkv video file using both of the profiles mentioned, no problems encountered.

Upload a sample of the video file so that Atak and the others can help you with it.:)

Same here. No issues.

Well.. I don't know what's wrong then but my guess is with the new x264 codec or the new rb264. :confused:

I've reverted back to the old version of rb264 and all is ok. :)

[pacaveli211]

-amitabhbansal
it seems you did not read my previous reply to you
BD5 and BD9's are bluray / HD content on DVDs.
these will play in bluray players, and since they're dvds....you don't need a bluray burner

[vickiy]

Try a previous version of x264, see if the artifacts are still there.
I will check out your sample when I get home.:)

Update: The artifacts appears even when I open the original source file when I open it in MPC-HC, it seems that the problem lies with how ffdshowmt decode the file.
The earlier version of RipBot works fine as it index the file with DGAVCIndex before encoding.
Things changed since v1.13.0.

v1.13.0
Added: support for x264 64bit (up to 10% faster encoding)
Added: if COPY STREAM is not selected assumeFPS will also adjust audio speed (easy 25 -> 23.976 conversion)
Added: custom resize profile with locked aspect ratio
Added: always first VST_01_x.vob will be indexed instead of VIDEO_TS.VOB
Added: language combobox for audio stream
Added: support for .sup subtitles (Warning!!! Original 1080p .sup WILL NOT be visible in 720p!!!)
Added: support for .ass .ssa subtitles in mkv container
Added: chapter extraction from .mp4
Added: UAC manifest (from now on you don't have to disable UAC)
Added: FFDshow DV decoder will be automatically enabled if necessary
Added: BD-25 size
Changed: Audio delay for convenient moved to Properties
Changed: .ts and .m2t files will be decoded via DirectShowSource instead of DGIndex or DGAVCdec (Reason: Faster decoding with FFDshow MT)
Changed: Audio from .ts and .m2t files will be demuxed in one pass
Changed: A/V same length combobox removed. CUT function is now always on (Audio and Video will always have the same lenght)
Changed: 'Tahoma' font to 'Consolas' (Installed by default in Windows Vista and 7)
Fixed: Bug which always resets VC-1 decoder to libavcodec. Default decoder is now wmv9 (Reason: Supports interlaced material)
Fixed: error 'Couldn't import DownMix2Stereo.avs'
Fixed: jobs.ini will be created immediately after creating new job
Update: x264 r1092M , eac3to v3.06 , Oggenc 2.85 aoTuVb5.61 , MediaInfo v0.7.10

Thanks Lighto!
This problem came up with my video files, this is really frustrating.
I'm wondering if it's possible to change the newer version back to use DGAVCIndex instead of DirectShowSauce? if this is possible, how can i do so?

[JarrettH]

Can I use RipBot without java? I use DGIndex separately

[Lighto]

Thanks Lighto!

I only managed to encode your file by manually running DGAVCIndex from RipBot's tool folder.
Using DGAVCIndex, I opened up your .ts file, saved and demux the file.
Then, I open the demuxed .264 file with RipBot and select the demuxed audio as well.
After setting the audio delay to 14ms, I got a decent synchronized output.

[APorter819]

I have a couple questions for those that use the crop feature. Are you using Autocrop? Is there any changes to the video (resolution, wide hips, tall skinny people) besides losing the black bars?

Thanks

No one using the crop feature?

[prettyboy85712]

Try it and find out.

[dbone1026]

No one using the crop feature?

I have used the Auto Crop feature and then set the size back to 1920 x 1080

[pacaveli211]

crop should not alter the aspect ratio, it should only remove the black bars

[dbone1026]

crop should not alter the aspect ratio, it should only remove the black bars

I like to see the file at 1920 x 1080. If I just crop without sizing back the file comes out to something like 1920 x 800, etc...

Iam still trying to figure out what happens to the original DTS-MA track.:)

I have checked the FLAC option and when I read the demux log I see the original track is downconverted from 24 bits to 16 bits. Why?

I've used this app a lot before, it's great and I never had any problems with it :).

Until today with a specific video, the x264 application crashes at about 60% through the 2nd pass.

The video is an HDTV recording I made at a high bitrate so I could trim out adverts and compress it (with Ripbot) later.

@Atak_Snajpera

Oh, it was very technical link and very much text...

If I understand it correctly, it is a debate whether it is possible to hear any difference betwen 24 bits and 16 bits?

[stasi]

When I add a job (1080p MKV) while RipBot is encoding, it takes a long time for demuxing. When I set "low priority" on, demuxing is much faster. RipBot should automatically activate "low priority" when adding a job, and change to normal priority when the "add job" window is closed. Just an idea.

Well, you already have the option of doing that (change to low priority just before adding the new job, back to normal when the job is added), and without too much trouble... and some people might prefer not to sacrifice their encoding time/performance for the sake of adding jobs faster... I think it's perfectly fine as it is. I would like an option to have jobs be deleted automatically as they're finished, but I won't insist on it, since the funcionality is there, now, just not automatic. =)

what happens when you uncheck the 'keep jobs in queue' do they not delete till you close it or something?

I've used this app a lot before, it's great and I never had any problems with it :).

Until today with a specific video, the x264 application crashes at about 60% through the 2nd pass.

The video is an HDTV recording I made at a high bitrate so I could trim out adverts and compress it (with Ripbot) later.

Any idea where I'm going wrong? :(

I couldn't make much out of the information given.
However, could you trim out 50mb of the file as sample and upload it to mediafire so that I could test what happens when I try to encode it on my machine?:o

[APorter819]

Thanks both dbone1026 and pacaveli211 concerning the crop question I had.

[mutha88]

Couldn't open input file in HIDE mode! Exiting

This is the message it gives me when I simply try to load ANY type of VOB in RipBot. What should I do?

EDIT:

I forgot to mention... After closing the dialog window this error appears:

MPEG2Source : unable to load D2V file "C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\job1.d2v"

[liquidskin76]

@Atak,

I know you are against using TrueHD/DTS-HD, and go the route of flac, however i thought i would beg again! :)

Please would you reconsider, and add support for retaining TrueHD/DTS-HD audio? I'm sure there are plenty of users out there who have to go the long route of encoding video with RipBot, demuxing TrueHD/DTS-HD, remuxing the lot to MKV.

Of course, there are other video encoding tools out there that can do this, however as a compliment to you, i'm only interested in using RipBot!

You could save people a stack of time! Surely this is a legit feature request and would be well served?

Many thanks

I think I've got it sorted now, thanks :). For some reason, the encoding will fail when outputting the file to an SSD. I changed the output directory to one on a regular HDD and it worked fine.

Hi Atak,

The RipBot is crashing when I try to normalize the audio using the base 3.0 for iPod.
Showing "Please wait... Initializing" forever.
Without normalization have no problems.

Edit
Working perfectly.
How is the first time I had to normalize the audio, I did not know who took the time(Please wait... Initializing) to scan the file.

I spoke too soon! It's still happening, but it seems to be fine when running it over remote desktop from my laptop. I guess there's something running in the background that Ripbot doesn't like. Oh well, at least it's working :).
Knowing my luck, it'll probably start failing again using this method too.

[juramirez]

Just out of curiosity... Why would I prefer 2-Pass mode over CQ, other than to limit file size? (No criticism meant, at all. Just curious. I always use CQ mode by default, but just now had to use 2-Pass to limit file size, and was wondering what other advantages it might have.)

[takmaze]

From what I understand, it takes longer but gives a better quality:compression ratio.

[hoju3508]

Why would I prefer 2-Pass mode over CQ, other than to limit file size?

Yep, 2-Pass to predict size.

[pacaveli211]

2pass is just to encode to a certain size / bitrate
CQ is to encode to a certain quality
neither of them are 'better' in terms of output quality. it's all relative to the settings you use along with them.

[juramirez]

Thanks! =)
That's what I thought, thanks for confirming. =)

[benjyv]

OMFG.....This NEW version - RipBot264 v1.16.3 - is awesome !!!

It goes smoothly , begining with installing and finishing with results. Everything is perfect !!

NO errors , NO problems , is working PERFECTLY !!!

THANKS Atak_Snajpera !!!

[tp546]

@Atak_Snajpera - first off, let me just say thank you so much for writing this program - i love it and have been using it for about 2 years now. one issue i have though, (apologies if this has been mentioned but i cant go through 421 pages) is that i have been stuck using version 1.14.2 for a while now because every version released after that doesn't seem to work for me. Specifically what happens is that when I select a stream from a blu ray, it demuxes it and then once it hits 100%, it says "Gathering Informations" and just hangs there. I have literally let it sit there for over an hour on more than one occasion and nothing happens. The same thing happens in 1.14.2 when I select FLAC for audio also. I am using Win 7 x86 Ultimate. Please let me know how I can resolve this issue and if you need more info or want me to run any tests for you, just ask. Thanks so much for your help!

a couple of people tried to help me solve this problem but nothing has worked. does anyone else have any ideas? this is killing me! i would really like to be using the latest version.

you checked to make sure it wasn't an issue with your current anydvd version?

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Haali and Avisynth? I would uninstall all of that, including ffdshow, and reinstall it all to see if you can fix your problem.

I don't recall the order of installation ever affecting me. I honestly can't remember in what order I installed Avisynth and Haali.

[benjyv]

@tp546

Tell us about your system configuration , pls !!!

There could be the problem...RipBot264 v1.16.3 does not require a specific installing order.
You can try to DELETE all adjacent softs that compete in operation of this program ,and re-install latest versions of them...

[Medality]

Hi Atak ! I really like the new version (adding jobs while encoding :)) !

I was wondering if it would be possible in a future release to use hardware-accelerated decoding ? For those who have an ATI/nVidia video card. Encoding will be faster because the CPU will only be used to encode. That sounds awesome, isn't it ?

Is it possible to make it happen :D ?.

Thanks again for your great software,

i dont think it could have to do with anydvd because i have the most current version and i rip blu rays to my hard drive before using ripbot.

i havent tried changing vc-1 codecs but it happens with blu rays that arent vc-1 too and i dont have any trouble playing vc-1 files so i dont think that is it either.

i tried uninstalling ffdshow and i tried installing everything in the order specified but that didnt work either :confused:

Maybe you'r right , but in my country are some well-known and specialized terms , used only by specialists.
Generally speaking , using a primitive language/terms , understood by some as " fragmented english " , we can accept that OS is what you've said . :D
But as I know , here is not a language meeting or a forum for linguistic mistakes , and nobody asked you to intervene and make grammatical corrections .
If you know to help that user ,OK , if no , pls , stand back and never put in question elsewhere.
I've noticed that you've become a Knowing, as Atak's lawyer, which is an awkward position, especially when you do not know anything and try to give advice, confusing people.
Next time better stay flexed in your "plaster'

[kenwheeler77]

pacaveli211 was correct, it was difficult to understand what you were implying and this has nothing to do with a "language forum" (as you so put it), just common sense. When you don't describe something to someone properly and use the proper terms, then there is a chance that they will either still not understand you or mess something up because you described it wrong. I've been reading these posts for quite sometime now and honestly, Benjyv, you have been rude, degrading, and unappreciative of the help people have tried to give you. It's OK if you go ahead and "ignore" this post but for someone who is not really technically inclined in this field, I think that you are the last one who should try to help someone, especially with the bad attitude and condescending tone that you bring to the board.

Oh, and in our country (as in most countries including most likely your own), you don't have to be a specialist to use well-known or specialized terms. People in this country are allowed to use any terms they like to.

With that said, Atak, thank you very much for this program. I've been enjoying it for quite sometime now and it works wonderfully. And also thank you to all of the other regular posters who really try to assist people without trying to make them feel stupid or ridiculed.

Hi, I have a multi-angle movie (Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete).
I can't open the playlist file in RipBot, so I choose the first movie file, and RipBot automatically links all movie files, but it selects the movie files for the first angle...
Is there a way for me to choose which angle RipBot chooses?
Thanks for a really great app!

[pacaveli211]

ugghh....benjyv, I wasn't trying to correct your grammar nor was I even trying to be insulting

anyways, I realize I don't always have the answers...but I do try to be helpful and have helped some people
I've even helped you a time or two...I'm sorry if you get confused easily though.

Ran into a small problem today: Under picture properties, the extracted frame doesn't show up - it's just blank with Panel 1/2. It was working fine yesterday.

[nekrosoft13]

anyone else having audio out of sync in ripbot 1.16.3?

Not always but out of 5 files i re-encoded with 1.16.3 3 of them ended up with audio being out of sync.

this type of problem was rather uncommon with 1.16.2

[Atak_Snajpera]

What container do you use?
Did you check a/v sync in preview?
show me content of demuxlog.txt

[nekrosoft13]

it was .ts container.

and I have not checked a/v sync in preview, the computer that renders videos doesn't have speakers, is just a "render" box.

I will open ripbot on my main rig and check the preview.

a/v sync is ok when original video is played in WMP or PowerDVD.

[Atak_Snajpera]

recorded .ts could be damaged. Probably decoder during decoding droped some frames. Try this. change extension to .m2ts.(This will force remuxing to .mkv by eac3to)

[nekrosoft13]

ok, still at work, so haven't check the preview

but one of the files that resulted in a/v in ripbot later i encoded again in HDConvertToX 3.0 and there was no a/v issue.

Unfortunately PSP ignores --sar values in stream for some stupid reason :(

Hey Atak, thanks for your updates.

But I have to disagree with you, PSP "listens" in fact to --SAR values. When I encode straight from avisynth to x264, i give them and no problems, except for the fact that the PSP only cares about those 2 standard values:

-720x480 (16/9)= --SAR 40:33
-720x480 (4/3)= --SAR 10:11

Any other proportion won't work.

In 640x480 also there are a couple of values that work, being 640x480 (16/9)= --SAR 4:3 and for aspect 4/3 you don't need to give it, as it's 1:1

Funny, I was wondering to ask you to implement the possibility of modify the command line, just to add those sar values on my own.

Thanks.

PS: Those AR values also work with mp4box, using --par in the commandline. That's what I used to do with the resulting ripbot files.

[pacaveli211]

if you didn't know....you can edit the profile and add any command line switches that you want
or just edit the text file for the profile and do it there too

Thanks. I always thought that the window with the profile was read-only. Ill check it.

Selectable Subtitle error:

When trying to add a subtitle I got the following error message and Ripbot freezes:

"Cannot open File
D:\Temp\Ripbot264temp\job1\17_subtitles_german_1080.sub The System could not find the given file"

(but in the temp job folder there are alle subtitles files with the .sup sufix)

This error appeared suddenly and now i get this error message every time while using ripbot.

My System is Win7 64Bit.

Does anyone have a clue to this issue?

-720x480 (4/3)= --SAR 10:11

True. Nevertheless according to my math --sar 1185:1000 is more accurate than --sar 40:33.
1.185 * 720 = 853
853 / 480 = 1.777 (~16:9)

0.889 * 720 = 640
640 / 480 = 1.333 (4:3)

@Atak

Right, and sometimes you can even feel it, that the widescreen effect it's a little awkward or not precise, but that's what sony left us to deal with (as many other things)

I've managed to tweak the PSP profile with the SAR value and now it's better than never, not having to touch the resulting file, unless I need a second audio language.

Thanks for your work.

[harrystruman]

By the way, I have an issue. From certain time to now, I cannot get decent preview, it's not just a problem of sync, but also jerky playback. I've tried uninstalling ffdshow, avisynth and haali, rebooting and reinstalling new version, but nothing works. DirectX update to the last, and I can't think of anything else. It started to happen, I think, with ffdshow 3300 or higher, but Im not sure.

Any thoughts?

PS: My cpu stays at 50% at most during this jerky preview

I just finished a fresh install of Win 7 Ultimate x64. Except for uTorrent the only other pieces of software installed are RipBot264 and the 4 required programs. I fired up Ripbot, pointed it to a Bluray folder on one of my HDs, Ripbot recognizes the main stream, Audio, and Subtitles...but once I click OK I get a pop up that I'm missing MSCVP71.DLL. I get this pop up three times, then the demuxing begins. I noticed that the temp files "job1" got stored on D:\, where as the RipBot program is located in C:\. demuxing finishes and I can choose the custom output, which I select MP4. Click done and click start, I get initializing then all jobs finished within about 2 seconds without any output file produced.

Please help. I searched and found a lot via google but nothing related directly to Ripbot.

Thanks. I don't care that much about preview, but I was just wondering if "bad preview" means "bad encode"? I read some people were asked if preview was in sync, when they talked about sync problems, so I thought I had it even worse, since at least with VC1 I cannot get decent preview after all.

Dzieki!

I am trying to rip a blu-ray to and iPad compatible MP4 (720p) that can also do double duty on my HTPC with 5.1 audio. I am hoping to get forced subtitles as well as chapter markers. It's the chapter markers that is driving me crazy. I just can't seem to find any setting or option for them although RipBot obviously know they're there? Am I missing something obvious or does RipBot just not do chapter markers?

I thought I'd try to bump this once since I didn't get any replies. Are chapter markers just not possible in MP4s with RipBot?

[toaddoom]

I apologize for my delay in posting this but I wanted to bring this to your attention and see if it is an issue. A couple of months ago, I had two videos that I was recoding from Blu-ray to MKV. I had the option to choose either the 3-channel audio or a single channel audio version of the movie. When I chose the 3-channel audio version, Ripbot would finish completely (after about 5 or 6 hours work) and not report any error messages, however there would be no output file. If I chose the single channel audio and kept every other option the same, the recoding would work, no problem. This was true of both movies that I tried that had foreign language 3-channel audio. Here are the files that pertain to both options (from one of the movies) for you to examine, screenshots and logs included...

[Atak_Snajpera]

--slices 4 and --min-keyint 1 --keyint 24.
--sclices 4 divides frame by 4. Each splice is decoded independently by decoder. (Multithreading decoding)
--keyint 24 forces key frame every second. Short gop reduces compression and may cause 'frame pulsing' issue with low bitrate.

As you can see strict blu-ray profile will give worse quality than regular 4.0. Your choice :)

Ripbot264 extracts and imports chapters automatically.

Yes, it seems to put chapter markers in MP4s for playback in VLC where you can skip to the next chapter.

What I was looking for though is the chapter list pop-up when playing back on Apple devices like and iPad or in iTunes. The typical "Digital Copy" mp4/m4v you get with a BD or DVD has this and I wanted to see if I could get it with RipBot. Handbrake does it but it doesn't do BDs of course.

[pacaveli211]

thanks for the reply atak, I see what you mean that they'd make it worse.
seems like it'd be better to let the key frames be made whenever necessary....not every second
and the slice thing just seems unnecessary
so I guess I'll just leave my 4.1 profile as is! thnx again for the info

[pacaveli211]

why would I pay $45.00 for that software when....
-it probably doesn't work as efficiently/effectively (I'm assuming it doesn't use x264)
-pretty much everything for hd encoding / muxing is freeware
-you're attempting to solicit sales in a support forum

Hi,

I've created my own profile, which includes the parameters --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1. However, after encoding I checked the job log and it says --min-keyint 24 --keyint 240 as well as my parameters. When encoding what is it using? Example command from log:

D:\>"C:\Program Files\RipBot264\tools\x264\x264_x86.exe" "D:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\job1.avs" --crf 18 --fps 24000/1001 --force-cfr --min-keyint 24 --keyint 240 --sar 1:1 --preset medium --tune film --level 4.1 --b-pyramid strict --open-gop bluray --me umh --weightp 0 --partitions all --qpmin=0 --sar 1:1 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --pic-struct --vbv-bufsize 30000 --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1 --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --vbv-maxrate 35000 --threads auto --slices 4 --thread-input --output "D:\temp\RipBot264temp\video.264"

[pacaveli211]

I've created my own profile, which includes the parameters --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1.
why......Atak and I both just discussed this saying a profile/encode is better off without these
maybe if you used a bluray player you'd want these...but your use of crf indicates that's not the case

does your profile still have the correct switches?
I see the correct switches in your log there, as well as the alternate ones. the 24/240 I think is x264's default

[iSeries]

Hi,

The reason is simple - at the moment I am playing back through my PC, but in the future I may want to remux to blu ray structure and burn to disc to play in a stand-alone player. Therefore blu ray compatibility is essential for me. Normally I would encode 2-pass, but as per my original post, this is an example log to demonstrate my question (basically I'm testing the profile at the moment).

The question is, is 24/240 being used, or are my settings over-riding them? How can I tell?

[juramirez]

I'm having a problem with some subtitles. The .idx file it's creating has negative timings, and apparently matroksa doesn't handle those properly, so the subtitles aren't showing. I tried fixing them with SubResync, but short of manually editing each single timing, I can't figure out how to do it. Halp?

oh, good idea. I'm not sure on your keyframe issue. All of my encodes have been done without having them though, and they still play.
You do also know that video needs to be 1920x1080 or 1280x720 (there are a couple others but those are the main 2) for bluray compliance, right?

I've done negative timings with audio before but never tried it with subtitles, mkvmerge might consider it a 'video track'. I can tell you than you can easily edit timecodes using a subtitle tool such as subtitle workshop. or specifically for your case it even has a 'delay' setting where you can put in negative delay

[Keno1982]

Hi,

I have a Blu-ray structure on my hdd. I want to convert it to mkv. I have converted another source before and it was successful. But i have a problem now.
I've opened the source with ripbot. The program analyzed the source and gave me a panel with some choice. There is about 10 audio track in the list. I only want the english DTS. I chosed it then clicked OK. After that ripbot started to demux. After demux i got the main window of ripbot. I set the video size and the method...etc. But i could not choose the "direct steam copy" in the audio section if I clicked on the mkv format. Only if i choose the avchd format. In mkv format ripbot wants to convert the audio to ac3 os something else. I searched the temporary files and I found that the demuxed video is in mkv format already but the demuxed DTS has a .w36 (im not sure but someting like this) extension.

I have tried another way. In that panel where i choosed the dts audio there was an FLAC switch. I have tried that too. I switched it on and restart the entire process. It started to demux but insted of 20 minutes it ran all night but there was no result. I just saw the "Gathering information..." string.

Anyone can help?

thx

[iSeries]

Hi pacaveli211 - yes of course, I'm not cropping the video at all.

If 24/240 is default to x264, or even to either --preset medium or --level 4.1, I wouldn't have expected to see it in the log as an additional parameter? I thought I'd only see it in the log if I've specifically typed these parameters in my command line - which I obviously did with 1/24 to over-ride the default. I have a feeling that RipBot is entering 24/240 in my command line. Atak, could you confirm if this is the case?

EDIT: I asked this question over at Doom10 and someone replied that if there are duplicate options in the command line, x264 will use the ones given last.

[pacaveli211]

-Keno1982
ripbot doesn't support copying HD audio tracks. if you want the HD track, or just the core even, you'll need to do some work outside of ripbot
for the full HD track, encode the video only and then mux it in after the encode
if you just want the core, use tsMuxeR or eac3to to extract the core and then choose that as your audio track with ripbot
it will allow you to 'copy stream' with it

[Keno1982]

-pacaveli211

thx.
i have read a lot of things about it an you're right.
But I have another problem now. I tried to put my files to TSMuxer but I have 120 files in the stream directory. TS muxer dont allow multiple drag and drop. How can I easily demux the DTS audio from the entire movie?

[pacaveli211]

most blurays have the main movie in a single m2ts file (it's going to be the 25GB+ one, switch your folder view to details)
if you're still unsure or if you have a bluray which has seamless branching (which will usually have multiple m2ts for the main movie)
you can scan it with BDinfo and find which playlist is for the main movie and then drop that into tsmuxer
also...when demuxing audio from a bluray with seamless branching you may want to use eac3to in case of audio overlaps

[killerhex]

can you add a way to mux a video already encoded to console specification and just encode the audio if its 5.1 audio format

[pacaveli211]

ripbot does the audio encoding first. so you could just add the job....run it till the audio finishes and then cancel it (grab the audio track before you cancel or it'll get deleted)
the audio track will be in your temp folder
this will leave you needing to do the mux yourself
or....you could just encode the audio with eac3to - this is probably what ripbot uses to encode the audio anyways

[Raily]

Sorry if this has already been asked but is there an option to not change framerate at all?
Because I always get video and audio that is out of sync when converting a Naruto Episode from Taka for my PSP.

[pacaveli211]

ripbot doesn't change framerate unless you have an unusual/non-standard framerate, like 18fps or something weird. or....unless you tell it to, obviously.
what is the framerate of your video?

[Raily]

MediaInfo reports it as a 24fps video but Ripbot recognizes it as 25fps.
Changing it to 24 sets the audio tabs duration to 0:00.
Right duration should be 23min 24s 672ms.

Encoding with 25fps gives no audio.

[iSeries]

Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked before but is there any chance of getting any 2.0 AC3 options for MKV output?

Thanks!

[pacaveli211]

-iSeries
I believe the reason is AAC is more efficient, any reason you must have ac3 instead?

-Raily
I'm not sure, you can remux the video after it encodes...or try it with setting the framerate and see what happens

[Raily]

Oh sorry said it wrong. Encoding with 25fps results in A/V out of sync
Encoding with 24 creates a video with no audio.
Hmm remuxing would take me too long. Using Handbrake for now.

Don't know what the problem is hope another one can have a look at it.

[pacaveli211]

remuxing takes only minutes.... (or sometimes only seconds)

[chane2k1]

are pipebuf and avs2yuv even needed anymore, i though x264 had native avs support integrated a while back. if they are required is there anyway to use the ffdshow dxva plugin to decode the image before encoding because both pipebuf and avs2yuv use up one of my cores just by themselves.

Howdy, I have been having issues with ripbot, at first I thought It was my rip but here's what's happening.

using dvdfab (latest) I rip the main movie to the hdd. I add the stream to rip bot etc... when i look at the preview about 45 mins into any movie the audio goes out (by at least 5 sec). I can play the ripped streams on the pc fine and there is no audio lag, I can't put in a delay etc because the first part of the movie is in sysc. This has happened to about three movies so far, eg Shrlock Holmes, Iron man 2, Gamer,

any help is appreciated

[StrangeNoise]

I'm having a problem using RipBot264 to rip some BBC-sourced blurays; specifically those that are:

VC1-interlaced
Frame rate 29.97

Normally I use handbrake, but it depends on ffmpeg to read its input files, and that can't deal with *interlaced* VC1. Hence RipBot.

Now, The BBC create their programming for transmission in the UK at 25fps interlaced (aka 1080i@50), but *some* of the blurays they produce for their programmes are modified to play at 29.97fps. Those that *aren't* and are instead left at 25fps, eg: Life, Wonders of the Solar System, rip beautifully and perfectly in RipBot264 (though I might wish for a HandBrake-like "decomb" filter; I don't want to use a full unconditional deinterlace and halve my vertical resolution). But those that are are giving me problems:

An important example (for me!) is the Doctor Who season 4 specials. The artifact I'm getting is that on smooth-motion shots there's an obvious and almost literally sickening regular judder in the motion.

Here's an example: http://madison.strangenoises.org/~rachel/Doctor%20Who/

Here are several files. They're all of the first two minutes of The End of Time Part 1.This is useful because it demonstrates the problem almost right from the start, in the course of the first two shots. This does also occur on a number of other discs; just this one is the most convenient demonstrator.

The largest file, "end of time 2 mins.mkv" is the raw rip out of MakeMKV, truncated to two minutes using MKVMerge. The others are generated from that first using RipBot264, named according to what settings I tried (from a base of using the BluRay preset). None of them helped. :-) The ones where I force the frame-rate to 29.97 are because upon load RipBot264 sometimes seemed confused about what the source frame rate was in the original (non-truncated) makemkv rip. Play any of them. What's noticeable in the first two shots, and unbearable in the second, in the pan-and-track down onto a street, past a brass band, is a regular judder or 'dragging' motion.

Watching the first shot frame-by-frame, (of the Earth against a starfield), on some frames the stars are doubled-up, I believe because two interlaced or telecined frames have been rendered into a single progressive frame.

Now, the actual bluray in an actual bluray player connected to an actual HD TV, plays fine, but I want a playable version in my vault. I'm only running Windows in a VM (by choice I'm a Linux/Mac user) so I can't really test playback of the source file in Windows well enough to be sure, but it looks like in Window Media Player the source shows the same problem as the transcodes I can see properly on other viewers.

My theory so far is that what's happened to these disks is this: The BBC made the programmes, as they make all their programming for broadcast here in the UK, in interlaced 25fps; but in mastering the Blurays, presumably for some international marketing purpose, they're set to play back at 29.97fps. And I think this is accomplished using telecine.

Which on its own would mean, use detelecine, or inverse telecine (correct me if I'm wrong, they're the same thing? HandBrake offers the former, RipBot264 the latter). But in one of the example outputs included above I tried inverse telecine and it seemed not to help.

So I think it wants to be decimated too, to return it to its original 25fps-interlaced state. But the RipBot264 GUI only offers "Do not decimate" or "Restore -> 23.976fps". A note I found somewhere from the author seemed to indicate he thought this was the only situation where it would be needed; ie: 24fps movies telecined for NTSC.

I think, for these disks, we need a "Restore -> 25fps" option.

I'm not sure that really is the cause of the problem, and that this would be the solution, but it's the best I can think of and I welcome input. Best of all a "no, do this" hint. :-)

I also don't know if this would alter the speed of the video (thus putting it out of sync with the sound) or whether the frame lengths would be automagically stretched so it plays at the same speed. But if it fixes the video but leaves it at a different speed to the sound, that at least moves the problem to something that'll probably be easier to fix. :-)

An alternative would be for RipBot264 to be able to output h.264 *interlaced*; ie: preserving the interlaced/telecined fields of the original. In that case I could try running through RipBot264 at a ludicrously high quality setting in order to run the result through HandBrake to sort out the detelecine its way. Yes, I know double-transcoding would be horribly sub-optimal. :-) Another option would be to just use the resulting interlaced transcode as my final viewing file, which might work.

(I've no idea if HandBrake *would* be able to sort this out - I haven't seen the BBC pull this framerate change on any of their blurays that aren't vc1-interlaced and thus could handbrake directly... or if I have, I haven't noticed because it Just Worked. I suspect the former. :-))

I was going to try just setting --interlaced=1 or --tff in the x264 options string in RipBot264, but it seems the option string field in which to enter that has disappeared in the most recent version. :-)

[illestdomer2005]

Does anyone know why 1st Pass during 2-Pass target size seems to only use between 25-40% of processing resources? I rip all my movies to blu-ray (.m2ts) in 2-Pass mode every time. When converting to 1080p, I get about 45fps on 1st pass. On 720p, it's usually around 60fps. On 2nd pass, I get around 25fps on 720p and around 18-19fps on 1080p.

This is on an i7 920 OC'ed to 4.0GHz. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.

[nekrosoft13]

recorded .ts could be damaged. Probably decoder during decoding droped some frames. Try this. change extension to .m2ts.(This will force remuxing to .mkv by eac3to)

about the a/v sync, i took the .ts file remuxed it to m2ts and did the encode again, file had no a/v sync issue.

for some reason .ts did have sync issue, but m2ts (remuxed from .ts) did not.

when the .ts was loaded in the preview, a/v sync was fine.

@ illestdomer2005:

When an encoder does not use most of the CPU time, it probably has to wait for something else, usually hardware (disk access, memory copying, maybe even the GPU decoder).

Hi,

I just wondered what the purpose is behind Ripbot adding --force-cfr to the command line?

[audiohominis]

Hi, Atak_Snajpera.
I'm trying to encode an iPad-compatible MP4 using the available preset. The video is 1024x576 @ 24fps.
The encoder seems to complete the 1st pass but never get to 2nd. It remains stuck with the Abort button forever.

vid = AVISource("video.avi", audio=false)#source is 1920x1080 AVI
return vid.LanczosResize(1024,576).ConvertToYV12()
The RipBot version is the latest and my specs are in the sig.
Please look into it when you get chance and let me know if I'm missing something.
Thanks

Interesting. I have 6GB of 1600MHz DDR3 RAM. I'm not using SSDs, and my GPU is just an ATI 5770. I would imagine my HDDs are the weak link (2 7200 RPM in RAID0), but I wonder why 2nd Pass uses 100% of CPU? 1st Pass just isn't CPU intensive?

First pass is really a scan to get a feel for the file. 2nd scan does the full encoding and will use 100% of your CPU no matter how good your computer is.

[zazon]

Question if I may? I don't understand how I should be setting the KBPS on the encoding settings. I think the higher it is, the bigger the files. The guide I found had it set at 6930, which is what I used, but I'm not sure that is optimal? Can anyone explain this? Thanks for any help.

[LigH]

That's the hardest question for all beginners, zazon.

As many movies are out there, as many different bitrates they "need" to be encoded with a satisfying quality. This is squared by the different people watching movies and having different preferences how much quality they need. And even cubed by the many options you can use to set up the encoding efforts and time consumption, the wanted dimensions (width*height), filtering...

To limit the complexity, first divide your problem into two: Do you really need to get the result down to a file size which fits on a specific media?

If yes, calculate the required bitrate by the capacity of the media, divided by the playing time, and subtract some amount required for anything that is not the video of the movie (audio streams, subtitles, multiplexing overhead, maybe even menus - depending on the target format). There are "bitrate calculators" (maybe included in the convertor, maybe additional ones) to help you here.

If no (e.g. you will store the result on a harddisk anyway) ... don't care about bitrates at all. Only care about the available quality metrics of the encoder. x264 has a kind of "constant quality" mode, more exactly a "constant rate factor" (CRF) ... test for yourself which value in a range around 18 and 22 is satisfying for your quality preferences. Other formats may not have such a feature, here it may be harder to find "a very similar quality for many different movies".

[Atak_Snajpera]

@audiohominis
Wouldn't be simpler to select just .avi instead of .avs in ripbot264???

[zazon]

Yes, the resulting file will most likely sit on my media server. Size is not of paramount importance, but I don't want to make them twice as big as they should be. Does this mean I should use the CQ instead of the two pass? I am assuming the CQ uses whatever bit rate it needs and the file may be bigger or smaller.

Another question if I may? I have a Blu-ray of the Godfather. Parts of the film are in a foreign language. I used RipBot to embed the subtitles, but when I played in in VLC, there was no way to turn them on or off. Is there some way to set that up? Thanks for any help.

[zazon]

No. I'll give it a whirl. Thanks.

[zazon]

OK, I found suprip and loaded the .sup file. Suprip found the subtitles, but when I output them to the .srt file to be used by rip bot, it just said line 1, line 2, line 3, etc., or made some jibberish. What step did I miss when doing the output? Is there a guide somewhere?

I also tried the CQ setting for the bit rate. Personally I think it looked worse than using a variable bit rate set at 6930, which I what I was doing. I don't know if it was the film or something else and the file size was about the same size anyway. Anyone got a clue here? Thanks for any help.

[scenefinale]

@Atak_Snajpera
Any chance you have considered adding an option to skip encoding while still having the option to produce .mkv or .mp4?

[Lighto]

@zazon, not sure about the sub part. Try CQ 18 and see if the results satisfy you.
If not, I guess you are better off with setting the bit rate.

[hoju3508]

@zazon, take the output from Suprip into Notepad and save the file again.

[soneca]

And save again using the ANSI code.

if your bitrate looked better you may simply need to use a better cq setting (the lower the number, the higher the quality)
suprip does not directly convert .sup files. it is a software that learns. you will need to go through the ocr process and correct or 'define' any characters it's not able to recognize

@Atak_Snajpera

ripbot is an encode tool, not a muxing tool. mkvmerge will take care of the .mkv. there's probably a tool to mux to mp4 as well

[scenefinale]

ripbot is an encode tool, not a muxing tool. mkvmerge will take care of the .mkv. there's probably a tool to mux to mp4 as well
Be that as it may, it still handles muxing like a champ... It can be used to demux the streams needed into the "Temp" folder and then used to add to mkvmerge. I think it would be simple to add this functionality, and give the users another much appreciated option.

[hoju3508]

Is it normal that when I used CQ=18, I get a smaller file and lower bit rate then when I do a 2-Pass targeting a BD9?

:thanks:

[pacaveli211]

hoju3508
every file/movie is different. constant quality doesn't mean constant bitrate, and cq doesn't indicate a target bitrate
some movies can compress a lot without losing any significant amount of quality, others cannot
i.e. whichever movie you're dealing with seems to be able to compress lower than bd9 size while still sufficing the CQ18 quality settings
so this is neither normal nor abnormal. because some movies will compress like this one, others will not

[Lighto]

Is it possible to replace BassAudio with NicAudio or other tools completely for the getinfo.avs?
It's just that BassAudio makes RipBot stuck at "Gathering Information" far too often.:(

[fmagreed2]

After re-encoding a video to play on my ipod, the audio was about 14 seconds behind the video. I batched around 20 files (a series of episodes) and all of them suffered from the same problem.

The ripbot log and media infos of one of the files are attached.

[zazon]

I've had that happen a few times too, but if I did a second time, the audio usually worked the second time.

I got the subtitles working using suprip and filling in the missing characters.

One other problem I've noticed is it seems when I use CQ, the audio likes to hiccup for a half a second every minute or so. This is playing the mp4 file in VLC. I'm not sure if it's my computer or the files itself. I think I've seen it too when doing the two pass to, but it seems to happen more often doing the CQ. Anyone got a theory on this one? I think I'd prefer to use the two pass, but I'm not sure how to calculate the bit rate. Thanks for any help.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I'm not sure if it's my computer or the files itself.
Use MPC-HC instead of VLC.

I think I'd prefer to use the two pass, but I'm not sure how to calculate the bit rate. Thanks for any help.
You are trying to invent a wheel again. Use CQ (Constant Quality) Period! x264 encoder will automatically adjust bitrate according to CRF value and video content. Lower CRF means higher quality/larger file size.

[Venomouse]

Howdy, I have been having issues with ripbot, at first I thought It was my rip but here's what's happening.

using dvdfab (latest) I rip the main movie to the hdd. I add the stream to rip bot etc... when i look at the preview about 45 mins into any movie the audio goes out (by at least 5 sec). I can play the ripped streams on the pc fine and there is no audio lag, I can't put in a delay etc because the first part of the movie is in sysc. This has happened to about three movies so far, eg Shrlock Holmes, Iron man 2, Gamer,

any help is appreciated

Got unlucky and posted before a small novel may have been missed :)

any ideas?

[pacaveli211]

are you working with DVD or Blu-Ray?
is ripbot detecting the framerate properly? do you have it set to change it?

[Venomouse]

blu-ray,

The frame rate is pre-populated, never needed to change it. Some movies ripped no problem, but most give me the same issues as above.

[pacaveli211]

I know it's auto populated. that's not where you change it.
does it show 23.976 for these movies? I think that's what they all are
are you transcoding/encoding the audio? (vs a copy if you've extracted the core or something)
are the audio tracks all the same codec? DTS HDMA or TrueHD?

[Venomouse]

OKies, home now I can check :) (thanks for the quick replies btw)

The frame rates is 23.976.

I haven't specifically changed any audio settings but I assume there somewhere to mess with it?

IE i pretty much open the file and then hit go :)
(so the audio is being pulled from the original pull in from ripbot)

I've uploaded a piccy of my default settings..hope that helps.

cheers

[mmmmdonut]

I've had that happen a few times too, but if I did a second time, the audio usually worked the second time.

Make sure you have java loaded, go to tools\bdsup2sub folder and open the java app there. Next browse to your jobs temp folder and see if your sup files open. You will be able to read the sup files using this tool. If all is good RB264 shouldnt have any issues converting from the tool itself however you can also save your output using the bdsup2sub program and selecting the srt file.

[zazon]

I found smplayer, which seemed to be doing better than VLC, but now it's not showing any video. Anyone know what's going on here?

[pacaveli211]

-Venomouse
your attachment is still pending so I can't see it =\
as a work around you could probably just demux / remux the audio in manually. (use tsmuxer, keep core or full hd track)
this way it isn't really being modified in any way and should preserve the sync

[Venomouse]

ill give it a try and post results cheers.

[thebasa]

When I use RipBot264 with DVDs selecting the first vob file in the set, it goes straight to "Please wait...Indexing Video Stream..." instead of giving me the option to select tracks like subtitle to demux like it does with an .m2ts file. After it demuxes, if I go into selectable subtitles and try to add a .sub file from the job directory, there are no .sub files in there. Is there a way to get the .sub files out during the demux w/o having to use something else like vsrip?

[RandomEngy]

I can usually rip a 1080p Blu-ray in about 8 hours. I know that the Avatar Collector's Edition is 3 hours long but it's taking more than 24 hours to do the rip, with the same high profile and quality target setting.

Is there something special about that Blu-ray that's causing it to encode very slowly?

[pacaveli211]

you mean encode, not rip. Avatar will take longer because it's 1.78:1...i.e. it takes up all 1920x1080 pixels.
rather than having letterbox bars like most movies.
the length will also contribute...since it's probably 2x as long as the average movie.
other than those 2 the video itself might just require some extra 'attention' due to a lot of detailed and/or action scenes

[RandomEngy]

I meant rip. The term in general can mean any process of getting data from a disc and putting it on your computer; encoding can be part of it. Anyway my reference here was actually the standard version of the Avatar, which was only 20 minutes shorter and the same in all other respects.

My best guess at the moment is some new BD+ encryption.

[kenwheeler77]

My best guess at the moment is some new BD+ encryption.

Are you ripping the movie to hard drive first? You might want to do that if you think that the BD+ encryption is your bottleneck (although I doubt it). Get rid of the encryption and then try encoding it.

What are your machine specs? I'm running an Intel Quad (pre-i series) and I'm averaging 6 hours on CQ=22.

I think I have found an easy way to get True-HD and DTS-HD in the new rips though thanks to the postings of others on this forum. :) I'll do a quick write-up once I've tested all of the different ways/formats to convert to and figure out the benefits/detractions of each.

Great software Atak!!!! Thanks again!!!!

:thanks:

[pacaveli211]

yeah I understood you meant transferring to hdd from ROM, but the encoding is what takes so long not the 'rip' part per se
movies will probably encode faster if you rip it first and then encode it.

[Adub]

Atak_Snajpera,

Just wanted to say thank you for your hard work on this program. It's simplicity helped me out yesterday when dealing with tv show that needed to be XBOX 360 compatible. Well done man! Keep up the good work!

[Ookamichi]

Hey i was wondering why, when my input video gets the undetermined language in the audio section why most encodes come out out of sync?

[LigH]

There may be many reasons for asynchronity, Ookamichi, but just a missing language flag should not belong to them.

How much is the difference, which direction (audio too early/late related to video), is it growing towards the end?

A usual sample: When audio from DVD VOBs is too early by several seconds, the reason for many converters is that the main movie PGC was not separated (rip in IFO/Movie mode / post-processing on HDD with PGCDemux) before converting, but the VOBs were used straight as copied from DVD.

[MoMuChI]

can used ripbot with new 10bit x264 ah?

[pacaveli211]

can used ripbot with new 10bit x264 ah?

I looked at that when I was swapping out my x264 recently
I checked the current one before I swapped out and it was only the 8bit. so I left it at that.

hopefully Atak can answer this cuz I'm still kinda curious as well.

[Wishbringer]

Where do you want play output?
So for what do you want to use it?

[pacaveli211]

Wishbringer If you're replying to me....I encode all my stuff to fit BD25 / BD9 for play in blu-ray players / ps3

[razzmatazz]

Atak, I first just want to thank you for a great program. It makes encoding videos a breeze.

Second, I was wondering if you have any plans to add an option for whether or not the first subtitle should be on by default. I know it's easy enough to switch off the subtitle if I don't want it on, it would just be nice to be able to set the flag. I understand if you feel like this would be more trouble than it's worth. I know what it's like to develop a program for your own purposes and then be pressured to add features that you'll never use yourself.

Finally, I have a technical question. I noticed that in the "edit job" window, it lists the original .m2ts file for the "video," that it lists the demuxed audio file in the temporary job folder for "audio," and that a "video.mkv" file is created in the temporary job folder. Does RipBot actually use the demuxed audio file and video.mkv for the encode? The reason I ask is that sometimes I would like to be able to delete the .m2ts file before encoding.

Kudos again for a great tool!

[pacaveli211]

yes it uses the demuxed files for the encode
keep in mind if your source is mkv or something other than m2ts that it doesn't automatically demux the video track

[Wishbringer]

Wishbringer If you're replying to me....

Nope, sorry, wasn't fast enough... was replying to:

can used ripbot with new 10bit x264 ah?

as I know, (see http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1449716#post1449716)
10bit encodes need a special player and can't be played onto bluray or even with normal pc player software.
So if that is correct, there is no need in RipBot to have 10bit x264...

That's why i (hypothetically) asked, where MoMuChI want to play 10bit encoded H264 files.

[stasi]

I testet the x264 10bit encoder a few weeks ago. I just changed the .exe. Result: Colors of the output look strange, I guess my video player must be updated (is there a 10bit ffdshow/MPC-HC available?), and encoding is very slow, REALLY SLOW. The same profile, the same video with 8 bit encoder shows me ~18fps, the 10bit encoder runs with ~0,8fps!

There is 10 Bit in Media player classic home Cinema
put EVR custom press and right click in player than click Render settings than Presentation and there you have 10bit BUT that will WORK if your VGA Support 10bit per pixel !! Intel G3x or 4x doesn`t support 10bit per pixel. On INTEL picture is green ..... ^^
ATI support this very nice and i didn`t tested on nvidia...

edit: D3D Full screen in Output settings must be checked (ON) or 10 bit will not work.

I just checked... On INTEL works with latest drivers and picture is very nice....

[Morbo]

I have a noodle scratcher,...
I had been using this program for over two years(thanks!),...for re-encoding QT files from Apple for use elsewhere(ipods,etc).

For whatever reason,..after a HD failed,...re-installed everything,..OS and all,...and now when I try,..I get test.exe and avs2avi.exe errors(stopped working,etc).

Obviously have FFDSHOW,...QT (even tried QT lite),and everything I could think of has failed.It will extract a frame to start encoding but it shows garbage.

These are HD,H264 trailers..and if I toss it over to my other XP system(this one is WIN7 64bit),...they obviously work(encode) fine.

I've tried Win7DSFilterTweaker to no avail....and can not figure out why it worked before my HD crash but not now.

Granted,..it works now for everything BUT MOV files,..I can demux with YAMB,..and do it that way,..but that's an added step I didn't have to do before.

And still does not explain the garbage in the preview script.

Cheers!

[FuGGeroo]

Here's how I do it:
1) select the audio you want in "profile"
2) click "selectable subtitles" and add the subtitle you want & it will convert it to subtitle_1.sup
3) click done button
4) go to working folder, for me it's "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1"
5) click "job1_EncodeAudio.cmd" to convert audio. The converted audio will show up in "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\audio.ac3"
6) Final import your video, down sampled audio, and subtitle into tsMuxeR_1.10.6

Thanks!! Saved me so much TIME...

[LigH]

Watermarking slightly changes the frequency spectrum. Removing that would not be trivial at all.

Sonogram differences (based on Microsoft watermark2003) (http://forum.gleitz.info/showthread.php?26743-Audio-Watermarking&p=252494&viewfull=1#post252494)

[Peakr]

anyone deal with and blurays containing cinavia / watermarked audio yet??
anyone know a way to remove / circumvent it?

Only certain players see it. I use surcode to encode HD audio to DTS then plug it into ripbot. With this method I haven't noticed any problems streaming to my PS3.

[pacaveli211]

yeah I know it's pretty much fully embedded into the audio and it's not just a 'remove' thing.
I also keep HD audio though and would like to retain quality, so re-encoding with surcode doesn't really work for me.
I had considered re-encoding it to DTS-HDMA though...and seeing what happens. I'd rather find a better solution though
I've read eventually everything is supposed to have this implemented so only certain players having it may change to all players having it.
Are all players going to eventually recognize cinavia?
It's part of the AACS LA licensing terms. All players made after a certain date must detect and enforce Cinavia. If manufacturers don't detect and enforce Cinavia with the newer players then I could see their licenses being revoked.

[extravirgin]

I asked Adub a couple of questions over at adubvideo.net regarding a problem or two I was having with Ripbot and he suggested I posted here for a response.

I’m trying to backup Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Robin Hood and Aristocats so my two year old doesn't get his sticky fingers on the disks. All Disney and all DVD. The AnyDVD part goes well, I can check the .vts output using Media Player Classic. However, when I put them through Ripbot the audio is badly out of sync with the video. I can check that using the preview. The video and audio duration are different in the main ‘Encoding Settings’ window. No idea why. Individual .vts files are OK but put the whole thing together and it’s about a second out. I’ve delved into ‘Properties’ and adjusted the audio delay/advance to as close a match to the video as I can but the result is still poor.

Any suggestions? Everything is up to date. Ripbot is latest version and so is AnyDVD. I can get the job done with Handbrake but prefer Ripbot.

Let me know if you require any further information.

[pacaveli211]

is the audio about the same amount out of sync regardless of where you are in the video or does it seem to get progressively worse through the video?
if it gets progressively worse it's probably something with framerate / de-interlacing.
if it's the same amount throughout it may just need the proper delay added
also....for some reason multiangle stuff comes to mind. I'm not sure how ripbot would handle the movie if it has that. I'd load it into vobblanker to check for that.
but my best suggestion is to ditch the dvds and get blurays =)

[8ternity]

Hi atak,

Is there possible to add a setting in the ini file to create complete AVCHD folders

Ex: YES or NO (1 or 0) that i can set to complete create AVCHD folders (BDMV and CERTIFICATE) folders.

Play Station III that we are using detect it only has data disc; if i recreate in AVCHD with tsmuxerGUI > The Disc is played to an AVCHD disc.

Also report to the LG home theater of my brother can't play AVCHD disc in his bluray reader. I need also to repack in tsmuxer and it works.

He check and he has the latest version of his firmware.

Thank You!

[pacaveli211]

8ternity - it should create everything you need...if the certificate folder isn't created just create one when you burn the disc. it's just an empty folder anyways.
sometimes it's needed for devices to properly detect the format though

"Ritek/Ridata DVD+R DL 8,5GB non printable"
"Verbatim DVD+R DL 8,5GB"

i was using before Memorex DVD+R DL but i've got 4 last bundle defect for verify pass; purchased before to Staples; Refunded, went to Best Buy; Samething "refunded" and also to future shop = the same!

dupplicator at work = faild
Try also to my freind computer = faild

i was using Memorex for last 3 years without problems, but it seems to have an problem in manufacturing!!

[pacaveli211]

memorex doesn't make their own media. if you get the DVD+R DL that say "DVD+R DL" on the discs and package you'll get ritek/ridata discs (at least this has always been true for me)
it's when you get the ones that say "dual layer DVD+R" that you get MBI discs or something else

I Know it's Ritek make it, but how come with 3 differents computers, 5 burners models, 1 other pc more than 20 bads disks on 20 passed the writing session, but in verify it crashed? also, why Ridata itself works? Ritek/Ridata are the same company names, but they are many version of the same DVD+R DL for the same speed 8X, even for 4X too. I've not remember what version it was. I've put thoes in recycle box!

Change the extension? You mean of the output file?? (n00b)

Change input file extension. Example video.ts rename to video.m2ts

Hi, is there an option in the program to say encode at 50% cpu usage?
I am worried about my cpu burning out (cpu temp gets very very high) with 100% usage for hours on end.

My encoding needs are not time sensitive, so I dont mind it taking twice as long to encode without high cpu temps.

Anyone?

[LigH]

You may limit the number of threads of the encoder.

And you may let it encode at a low priority class.

Not sure what RipBot264 already supports of these.

[soneca]

Or perhaps consider switching to a better cooler to keep calm.

New user here, un-7zip'd to its own directory on C:\Apps(x86) in Win 7 x64 ultimate.

I'm getting UAC messages "do you want to allow this program from an unknown publisher to make changes to your computer?"

I'm running many open source applications and this & megui are the only ones that do this.

What am I doing wrong?

[pacaveli211]

you're not doing anything wrong, it's just a windows security feature.
it can be disabled (UAC can be shut off, I'm not sure if that disables this as well because there are 2 diff types of messages like this)....I wouldn't recommend it unless you're a more advanced user
you should be able to disable it for specific programs though. if you right click the exe and go to properties there's an 'unblock' button. this will suppress the "The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?"
if that doesn't get rid of the error it's a UAC only error and I never use that so I'm not sure if it has any exception options (I don't see any in the control panel, just the level it can be set to). it might have something on the popup you get

[zazon]

I been using CQ when encoding my Blu-rays discs with RipBot. Is there a recommended setting for CQ? I noticed the file gets larger as you lower the CQ setting. For example The Godfather part II was 20GB when set at 20 for CQ, but when I redid at 22, it was 11GB. I'm certainly not expert, but I didn't notice a huge difference between the two. Though this was on my PC screen, not my big screen. I was just wondering about the pros and cons for lowering or raising the CQ settings. Thanks for any help.

[pacaveli211]

lower cq # = higher quality
18 is commonly regarded to be transparent (indistinguishable from the source, quality wise)
the setting is purely up to you. the differences will probably be negligible unless you compare like an 18 to a 24

[zazon]

Thanks Paca. When I did the GFII, it was really grainy, but so was the blu-ray disc. 20 seems about twice as big as 22. Would there be much of a difference there, I mean for the average watcher, no a cinephile.

-zazon
yeah the director (or someone involved) made a point to add grain to the godfather movies, a retarded decision imo.
11GB to 20GB is a significant difference....but honestly you probably won't notice the difference.
however, I'd be inclined to stick with the higher quality one regardless of whether you can tell the difference or not. I'm more anal about my stuff than most, though.

[benjyv]

coming back....

I changed the extention using TsMuxer Gui , or simply by replace it and same error....

Could be possible that Ripbot cannot encode this version :

ID : 4113 (0x1011)
Menu ID : 1 (0x1)
Format : VC-1
Format profile : AP@L3 ?????

I must specify that original release has NO errors....but assuming that the original is wrong or has bugs , is there some software to check it?

[Wishbringer]

It seems that VC-1 make me troubles again...

It has nothing to do with encoding.
Your source isn't recognized by DirectSource.
It could be an error of the Source or of DirectSource.

There was an in "BluRip"-Thread related posting with same behavior:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1419178#post1419178

Solution was to use FFVideoSource instead.

Atak was aware of that thread and mentioned that Ripbot264 will fix that too.
Seems it didn't help.

Maybe you just have to download an newer version of FFdshow (at www.xividvideo.ru, xhmikosr.1f0.de or another web source with recent builds).

I'm getting a very weird error with RipBot (both older versions and 1.16.3). When I choose a VOB-file it thinks for a few minutes, then says:
"Can't open "K:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs"

I really don't understand what RipBot is trying to do with this. Why is it storing the avs-script in a place where it can't open it?

MeGUI should use FFMSIndex to index your file first before using FFVideoSource to open your file.

FFDShow needs to be configured to decode VC1 with the WMP9 decoder (has to be manually set in FFDShow codec options) ...

System setup for accurate decode can be setup as per the "Windows 7 setup" link in the first post of the HDConvertToX thread ....

Regarding your PM:

Start > (All) Programs > ffdshow > Video decoder configuration > Codecs

In the row with "VC-1" in the "Format" column, click in the "Decoder" column (where you may see "libavcodec" or "disabled") - a combobox will appear. Now you can select "wmv9".

Note that you need to have installed the original Microsoft WMV9 / VC-1 DMO codecs (either already present in newer Windows versions, or updatable via Windows Media Player 11, or separately via WMF11 Distrubutable).

[benjyv]

@LigH

THANKS , THANKS A LOT !!!! ;-)

Solved part of it......I'm waiting to see results :D
I haven't installed WMP 11 with all its filters and seems that was the issue...

I'll tell you in a jiffy.....

[LigH]

@ benjyv:

I don't know why you keep asking completely "normal" questions via PMs (and I can't reply via PMs because you don't want to receive any).

"How to configure ffdshow" is no reason to get private. "Where to download the WMF 11 Redistributable" not either -- search in the Microsoft Downloads, it's a public free download, genuine from Microsoft. If you already have Windows Vista / 7 and a current Windows Media Player, you may even already have the required codec installed and don't need to download that.

Uhm, at least I expected that ... but I could not find "wmfdist11.exe" at Microsoft's downloads?!

[benjyv]

@LigH

Sorry , I was in a hurry and I didn't wanna make mistakes :(

Seems I solved the problem......

Keep in touch !!

[LigH]

Looks like Microsoft doesn't provide the Media Player codecs separately anymore (user binding via Media Player 11); I remember that Nic had an older copy on his website:

http://nic.dnsalias.com/wm9enc.html

A possibly newer version (found via findfiles.com): http://www.citizeninsomniac.com/WMV - Codecs - Windows Media Format SDK 11 x86 Runtime

"All versions of Windows Vista (except "N" European versions) include the latest WVC1 and WMV3 encoder and decoder DMOs." - For Windows 7 "N" and "KN", Microsoft offers the "Media Feature Pack".

[benjyv]

@LigH

Thanks again !!!!

Do not bother looking for links to Vista or Win 7 ...
I use , as I already said, XP SP3 :D

I think I found all codecs within WMP 11 ,which I forgot to install after formating :D....

I'm waiting the results now......

At the minute im having to use ts muxer to downsample the dts and take out the core, then mux into a blu ray format, and then load it into ripbot.

can you please add this into ripbot. please please please

Hi!

Since many Original BD´s have there original subtitles to high in the picture, sometimes... as in Avatar and many others right in the picture, is it possible to set were subtitles would end up as a preference to set within RipBot ?

So all subtitles end up in the bottom of the screen allways, but never out of the picture either in 4/3 or 16/9-formats ? :)

If possible allso, be able to set so colour never end up as yellow or other, but if set, allways as black !? :)

You will need to use other programs to edit your subtitles, I believe .ass has the abilities to set the position of the subtitles.

MaistroX-
you can use BDSup2Sub (RipBot264\Tools\BDSup2Sub) to manually movie subs up and down
I do this personally especially for like 2.35 / 2.40 movies. I don't like the subtitles being right over the picture
might as well put them down on the black letterbars

Zorro70-
while I can't change the program for ya..I can tell ya that you don't have to do that second step of muxing the audio back into bluray structure

maybe you were just doing that to show your signature?

crackinhedz-
you execute the .jar file, it's a java file
you have to have java for ripbot already so I'll assume you have that. once it's open you can just open a .sup file and select the 'move all captions'. I prefer to just manually specify a y position but you have to do this for every frame. this is my preference because the 'move out of bounds' option leaves some subtitles a bit lower on the screen than others. just something you'll have to mess with / decide which you like best

it keeps the chapters if i do it that way though, and i have to demux the audio the way your saying so its no quicker
It's still the same amount of steps.


I would just love to load a blu ray into ripbot and be able to choose the dts core rather than ac3 or dtshd-ma.

im sure its a pretty easy fix for atak using eac3to, but i dont know much about audio encoding, or using eac3to



anyway it seems hesmissed my post so its pointless, hes far toooo busy this guy.

program is a god send though :-)

[pacaveli211]

it doesn't keep the chapters if you load the bluray and then choose/browse to a different audio track when it's done?

[benjyv]

I'm trying to put a question here because there are more specialists than elsewhere.
A curious thing happened to me for the first time...
After encoding with Ripbot, which accepts only one audio track - in which case I choose "AC3" to be automatically encoded - I tried to add too , DTS 5.1 track using mkvtoolnix v 4.4.0, last version from November 7, 2010.
After remuxing I checked with MediaInfo and it appeared as DTS track has NO 5 channels but only one channel ... I did more tests but all results were the same = DTS was taken as a mono channel and not 5+1 channels .
I had to demux all video and audio tracks and using Megui muxing options to remux audio and video tracks, which gave the expected and correct result.
My question is if I made a mistake somewhere or if the new version of mkvtoolnix gaves such errors ...
Never until now no such weird thing happened to me with mkvtoolnix. For instance " mkvmerge v4.0.0 ('The Stars were mine') built on Jun 6 2010 " worked ,but " mkvmerge v4.4.0 ('Die Wiederkehr') built on Nov 7 2010" makes me troubles.
Where am I wrong ???

[Jurai]

Hi, I'm using RipBot264 for the first time and it is consistently producing incorrect AR on output.

Proper AR on my source material is 1.78, which the application even acknowledges that it knows next to all of the other resize options. However I still get incorrect output.

If i set it to No-Crop, No-Resize, the encoded AR winds up at 1.50 rather than the original 1.78. The same happens if I select 720x480 NTSC [1,78:1].

The only option that gives me a correct AR on output is selecting Custom [1,78:1] and setting my width to 720.

Why does RipBot264 not select the proper AR when using the no-resize option? seems rather silly

in 2 pass mode the fps will be higher in the first pass because it's kinda just doing a test run to get an idea of the movie before it does the actual encode (pass2).

in either mode (cq / 2 pass) it will start out a little faster for a couple of reasons. it hasn't done enough processing to give an accurate, overall, average fps, and the first part of most movies is opening credits / less intense video. so it will be able to process that faster than the latter parts.

is the drive where your ripbot temp folder resides almost full? if it runs out of space it'll just stop encoding

[Plugged Up]

I have a few hundred gig still available. It just stops with a perfect encode at 12.57 time. The movie is shutter island and handbreak which seems to work oKay with most stuff is crashing when encoding so it might be the source file.

[Lighto]

Hey Atak, I was wondering if it would be possible to add in an "All files (*.*)" option in the drop down list when selecting for files to be encoded in the next version.:)

The current RipBot only allow files with supported extension to be selected.
http://lulzimg.com/i7/a7477f1c.png

The reason why I am suggesting this is so that advanced users can actually use RipBot to encode files that are not officially supported yet.
For example .m4v and .3gp.

For unsupported format, RipBot doesn't extract the audio stream.
Advanced users can then select the audio stream they extracted themselves.

I believe as a programmer, some of the concerns will be that it might lead to unexpected exceptions to happen.:(

However, I hope that you consider this feature request and tell me what are your thoughts about it.:o

[Atak_Snajpera]

@lighto
change extension to .mp4

I tried doing 1440x1080 for the 4:3, film, but it looks wider than it should be.
don't crop black borders because ripbot will always flag 1440x1080 (and also 1280x1080) as 16:9!

I'm encoding early 1990s cartoons, flat colors, very little shading, thin line drawings.

A few years ago, Megui had a profile for cartoons, but RipBot264 doesn't seem to have any different options except which level.

I think psyrd should be off for cartoons, but it is enabled. I'm using 3.0 SD/CQ20, IVTC, Decimate to 23.96, and color correction from the gui.

Is RipBot264 okay for this encoding? Are there other profiles that would work better? I'm not well versed in x264 options, and have to rely on those better informed. Thanks for the help.

I'm encoding early 1990s cartoons, flat colors, very little shading, thin line drawings.

A few years ago, Megui had a profile for cartoons, but RipBot264 doesn't seem to have any different options except which level.

I think psyrd should be off for cartoons, but it is enabled. I'm using 3.0 SD/CQ20, IVTC, Decimate to 23.96, and color correction from the gui.

Is RipBot264 okay for this encoding? Are there other profiles that would work better? I'm not well versed in x264 options, and have to rely on those better informed. Thanks for the help.


Why not use --tune animation; Also, you can read up on x264 settings here (http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings).

Hello, what 's the best Profile and/or settings to encode a blue ray to mkv about 9000 kb ?
Thanks.

[benjyv]

I've made up my mind to check for the first time the option " poster ".
In this case I've upped there a cover....
My question is : the poster option can be viewed ??? and in what circumstances or with what software??

Hello, what 's the best Profile and/or settings to encode a blue ray to mkv about 9000 kb ?
Thanks.

they're blu-rays, not "blue ray". if you're looking to hit a target bitrate you should use 2-pass mode and set the bitrate.

if you mean 9000MB you'll want to use 2-pass mode and set that as the locked size.

if you don't really need to hit a target size / bitrate you should consider using the CQ mode (set at maybe 20 or so, you'll have to decide which setting works best for you. the lower the number the larger the encode / bitrate) and let x264 decide which is best for the movie.

opps meant as bitrate 9000.I normally use 2 pass bitrate to 9000 for 1080P and 5000 for the 720
i don't undestrand how to work the CQ and better if the double pass
many thanks.

[pacaveli211]

the CQ is just a constant quality thing. in your situation it sounds like it'd be better.
some movies will need a higher bitrate to retain the same quality while a lower bitrate will suffice for other movies
so setting 9000kbps might limit it too much for some movies. the CQ mode will be able to determine when higher / lower bitrates are needed
it will also encode faster as it only needs to make 1 pass instead of two.
as for the profile itself the 4.0 profile will work fine for encoding bluray stuff to MKV

[awake33]

You may as well give up :p
While I completely agree, and in fact use the same method as you and many others. I believe that Atak will never do this based solely on principle based on his personal dislike of the format. Why else would someone tout the more efficient FLAC, noting smaller file sizes as one of the perks. . .
and then immediately steer someone towards decompressing DTSHD into PCM or W64 files rather than just leave it be and save space!

His personal opinion seems to over-ride sensibility here IMO. I personally need this format because my media streamers do not play multi-channel flac/wavs in MKV or M2TS files.

The funny part is, I'm pretty sure it requires less coding within the GUI backend to allow the stream to be extracted as is than to convert it to another format. :confused:

So demuxing with Tsmuxer and remuxing with the final encodes is our only choice if we want to use his superior software package. :)

@Atak,

I know you are against using TrueHD/DTS-HD, and go the route of flac, however i thought i would beg again! :)

Please would you reconsider, and add support for retaining TrueHD/DTS-HD audio? I'm sure there are plenty of users out there who have to go the long route of encoding video with RipBot, demuxing TrueHD/DTS-HD, remuxing the lot to MKV.

Of course, there are other video encoding tools out there that can do this, however as a compliment to you, i'm only interested in using RipBot!

You could save people a stack of time! Surely this is a legit feature request and would be well served?

Many thanks

How the " poster " option can be viewed ??? and in what circumstances or with what software??

[angles]

why ripbot why? ok new problem.. i have an .avi file.. i encode with ribot to ipod .mp4.. everything goes good.. but after clicking start.. it keeps on "please wait...initializing.." well ive been staring almost 2 hours at my display.. then aborted.. and tried again.. this time waited 4,5 hours..but it never gets past that!!!!!! why? i 4 times reinstalled all the codecs ffdshow, haALI, ETC,.. i dont know what to do anymore...help! before i trow away my laptop! lol...

[pacaveli211]

try a newer version off FFDshow

[angles]

try a newer version off FFDshow

i have the newest version.. :(

[pacaveli211]

try a full uninstall of ffdshow (anything ffdshow in control panel) reboot, delete any ffdshow folder remaining in program files
reinstall it, try again. maybe try the most recent older one as well.

is the video xvid?

[Lighto]

Anyone has any idea on how to get x264's slow preset working on RipBot?
I know it can be done on MeGUI by simply adjusting the slider.

[pacaveli211]

preset
Default: medium
Change options to trade off compression efficiency against encoding speed. If you specify a preset, the changes it makes will be applied before all other parameters are applied.
You should generally set this option to the slowest you can bear.
Values available: ultrafast, superfast, veryfast, faster, fast, medium, slow, slower, veryslow, placebo.
http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings
so you should be able to just add --preset ______ to the line in whichever profile you're using

is the video xvid?

yes the video is an xvid .avi file.. ill try again uninstualling

[pacaveli211]

if you still have problems you may want to try changing the codecs in ffdshow for xvid to something different
I believe there were other causes to this issue (other than codecs) you may want to try the 'search this thread' for the error and see what else you find

[Atak_Snajpera]

... or switch off audio normalization in ripbot.

[angles]

thanks guys for trying to help me out.. :)
it seems regarding the error that it keeps hanging on "please wait...initializing.." that the solution is this.. first i got tired of installing uninstalling ffdshow haali etc.. so then i thought.. let me try this..
1. uninstall all the codecs, haali, avisytinh, ffdshow.
2. then i installed kaaza mega codec pack 6 (while instaling i selected full and for xvid instead liba.. i selected xvid 1.3
3. after that i installed avisynth the latest beta version
4. i started up ripbot. opened my .avi file.. selected my ipod profile.
added my .sub subtitles. (this time i did not select the option of denoising)
5. i pressed start and it is now passed the please wait..initialization. its encoding the audio!!! yahoo.. now i hope nothing else will go wrong..

but still a few question.. what is normalisation? and what exacly is denoising? because i thought denoising was to remove the little grainy blocky artifacts u sometimes have on video files..

once again thanx.. and if someone else has the same error.. try the steps i took.. cant believe i wasted a whole day to figure this error out! lol

Why not use --tune animation;

:thanks: Googling it led me to change filter from 0,0 to 1,1.

My profile is now:

[MAIN 3.0] Cartoons.txt

--level 3.0 --tune animation --aud --nal-hrd vbr --vbv-bufsize 10000 --vbv-maxrate 10000 --filter 1,1
--ref 3 --bframes 3 --b-adapt 1 --b-pyramid none --subme 7 --aq-mode 1 --trellis 2
--partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,p4x4 --no-8x8dct --me umh


I'm testing with a scene from a dvd, using CQ18 and resize down to 640x480.

Left is Source, Middle is no denoise, Right has Anime Denoise on :D

ps - sorry for not using thumbnail, imageshack really annoys me

OOPS - the images had filters enabled in mpc-hc, I'll have to try making them again...

[73ChargerFan]

The beginning of the cartoon is a dark grey background. The original is "dirty" with small blocks and a lot of noise.

The encode has huge moving black blocks, in a uniform grey background.

I had the same blotches when I tried encoding Batman TAS a few years ago, and I gave up. Is there something I can do about it now? I did not adjust colors for this encode.

I hope someone will dare to answer this question:
How can I access the option " poster " ?? how would I be able to view it ??

Well, Atak??

Maybe should I have installed Vista or Win 7 , because On my Win XP SP3 cannot see the posters :(

I'm sure this has been answered, but can't find it in a search of the thread... Just downloaded the latest version and it requires Java. So I downloaded and installed JRE 6u23. Still says I don't have it installed. I rebooted, still says I don't have installed. I tried to install Java again, just to be sure, and it says it's installed, do I want to remove it. It's definitely installed, so why does RB keep saying it's not? How do I get around this so I can run it? THX!!

I'd just demux the audio manually as that seems to be the issue.
someone else here may have a better solution if that isn't a good work-around for ya

[diggityDawg]

How about getting around the Java check? Anyone have any advice for that? Please help, can't use RipBot until it figures out I already have Java installed...

[zazon]

Thanks for the reply. How does one demux the audio manually?

[pacaveli211]

grab tsMuxeR (freeware) http://www.smlabs.net/tsmuxer_en.html

diggityDawg - I'm not sure on the java thing. I have 6.22 and it's working without any issue. did you install the x64 or x86? ripbot probably needs the x86
you can try using this page to make sure there's not an issue with the java install: http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp

[zazon]

Thanks Paca. The file I put into RipBot and is giving the error was already run through tsMuxer. I like ripping out the extra tracks. Was there a step I missed?

[pacaveli211]

what is your goal for the audio? i.e. what is your end result with it going to be (encode to flac/ac3/etc)?

[zazon]

My goal is to put the .m2ts file into RipBot without an error message so I can re-encode it.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Wouldn't be easier and simpler to import .m2ts directly from BD???

[pacaveli211]

that doesn't answer my question...I said the audio

yeah I was thinkin the same thing....not much point remuxing it if you're just gonna leave it in .m2ts where ripbot has to do the same thing as if it were the original
unless he's checking size for bd25, cuz I do something similar =)

Woqini- I see no error in the information you've provided

[Woqini]

This is what happens ...

I load the BD stream as usual, and Ripbot starts demuxing. when it's apx. 60 pct. complete it starts all over demuxing again from scratch. At 60 pct. it stops and i get a window with the text i copy/pasted.

yep , good ideea.....

And if I may suggest to Atak, and here I can, to introduce a system for SSIF files encoding (these ssif files are coming with 3D movies).

I don't wanna brag but I have some experience in extracting these files - at least theoretically - and I can help people who wanna start this kind of new "threat"

Till then , I wish you all A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011 !!!!

Based on this I'll take it there's no reason to run the file through tsMuser to rip out the extra audio and subtitle tracks?

[pacaveli211]

yeah ripbot is just gonna pop up a selection box asking you which tracks you need (and which ones to demux) anyways

The source file is damaged

[Trayman]

@bdj911 My guess it that they have a new copy protection that your ripping soft can't handle properly.

[bdj911]

Sorry I forgot some other key information. I am using the latest version of Anydvd HD. I first tried direct from blu-ray and then I tried two after ripping to my hard drive. All seem to play fine using PoweDVD 8.

[dzirkelb]

I have been using this product for about a year now and absolutely love it. However, I have a couple .mkv files that when I go to compress then using ripbot, the file when it goes to demux only takes about 10seconds, and is ready to go. The reason is because it shows -----[NO AUDIO]----- in the audio stream. If I compress it, then I loose audio completely.

I have most recently noticed this on the Matrix collection, all 3 of them. There are other random ones in my collection also, but I just ignored them and moved on. However, my drive is filling up, and I would like to compress these now.

What information do I need to provide to get a resolution to this issue? The files themselves play great using WMC, Boxee, Media Player, WMP, etc.

All those discs you mentioned are older titles and anydvd wont have any issues with ripping those. Based off the log it looks like encryption is still on the disc.

Okay so I copied Back To The Future part 1, 2 and 3 to my HDD directly from my OWN Blu Rays with AnyDVD.

Loaded each movie into RipBot264 and using the same exact profiles and CRF 18 and resized to 720p using the same exact audio compression (in other words, nothing different between all 3 movies).

Part 1 came out to 7.2gb, part 2 came out to 3.7gb, and part 3 came out 4.2gb. All 3 movies are around 1 hour, 50ish minutes.. why is part 1 coming out to be SO MUCH larger than the other 2 movies? Is it because the x264 codec thinks part 1 is much higher quality then the other 2 movies and wanted to apply more video bitrate to every frame? I'm confused by this.

Edit: Part 1 probably has less screen movement/panning/action scenes than the other 2 as well, making this more confusing.

[Wishbringer]

x264 doesn't think part 1 of Back to the Future is higher quality than part 2 + 3. It thinks for some reasons that it need that high bitrate to get same quality like the other parts.
Maybe part 1 has some random grain or noise that the other parts don't have (maybe they have instead static noise).
Do some degrain and denoise on all parts and reencode again.

Are you saying use the Ripbot264 Denoise "Film" option and see what the results will be? Currently running a decode with the Denoise - Film option right now on part 1.. will report back.

[Wishbringer]

Are you saying use the Ripbot264 Denoise "Film" option and see what the results will be?

For example.
Or after creating job, but before starting encode, change script and insert another denoise/degrain-command (avisynth-knowledge recommended)

[Noisrevid]

For example.

Gotcha.. well I simply used to built-in Denoise-FILM option in Ripbot and the encode dropped down to 4gb falling exactly in line with the other 2 movies!! And the quality remained the same (judging by my eyes anyways) so i'm happy now.. Thanks for the help! But it also makes me wonder if I apply the same denoise to the other other 2 parts if they will drop a lot lower now too :/

Edit: Re-encoded the other 2 parts with FILM DeNoise filter used and they dropped down a lot too, keeping the same major size difference again :/ I just guess I have to live with it.

[bdj911]

Sorry I forgot some other key information. I am using the latest version of Anydvd HD. I first tried direct from blu-ray and then I tried two after ripping to my hard drive. All seem to play fine using PoweDVD 8.

After digging around some I found a solution to my problem. I used txmuxerGUI to separate the video and audio streams and downconverted the HD audio streams.

I plugged in the video only file and then the audio file to ripbot264 and it built the mp4 file just fine.

[Lighto]

In the event that the demuxed video(.mkv) have more than 1 subtitle, RipBot should populate "PERMANENT SUBTITLES" drop down list with the list of subtitles as well instead of only "Do not use subtitles" and "Build in picture".

Currently to hardsub a different demuxed subtitle, one would have to manually edit the script.:(

I would think that this is a reasonable addition to the to-do list.:p

[pacaveli211]

if you choose the build in picture option it takes you to a browse window where you choose which subtitle file to build in...
it doesn't just choose one...and you don't have to edit the script

[Lighto]

Strange, probably a problem with my source.


Edit: Figured out what went wrong, there was a demuxed subtitle in the same folder of the source.
Removed it from the folder and RipBot is now working as it should.:)

[Z0r0b]

Just discovered this awesome app after having experimented with several other encoders. My previous favourite was HDConvertToX, which is very good but very manual. The one thing I do prefer with HDC is the denoise options. RipBots FILM denoise is way too intensive for my video camera source - the denoised video looks very plasticy. Is there any chance of adding additional denoise options or the ability to customise the amount of noise the FILM option removes?

[Atak_Snajpera]

reduce that value

[pacaveli211]

anyone have any trouble with encodes doing like a frame shift kinda thing
this only applies to bluray players as it doesn't ever seem to have the issue (in the same place) on pcs
and seems to only happen in the movies that have heavy compression (i.e. bd9's but not bd25's)
this is something like what happens: http://i51.tinypic.com/2qco7wi.png
(this is just something I made, not a true snapshot of the issue, since it doesn't happen on PC)
it'll do this and then video playback halts for a few seconds...then resumes a few seconds ahead after skipping some video
anyone ever run into this / have any idea of the cause and/or a solution??

[immortal001]

Wondering if ripbot can do 3D bluray to mkv. There is a paid for option but checked the thread and can't find any details about 3D rip to mkv. if it can;t is it a future option?

[Lighto]

@immortal001
I don't think RipBot can do 3D encoding as of now, even if it is able to, it will probably require the user to modify the .avs before it can work.

Check out this thread for more info regarding MVC.
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=158457

But I doubt any of GUI developers will implement 3D until there is standard container and format for the content.

[immortal001]

@Lighto

Cheers. Just thought as the .mkv container now has the flags someone may have built a script to do side by side or top bottom encoding, but then again the stream rip doesn't touch the SSIF folder which would be needed for 3D.
Makes sense to wait for a standard format.
I have 3D bluray ripper from a commercial source which does side/side and top/bottom mkv and works with stereoscopic player and nvidia's player.
Does a decent job but prefer ripbot as is non commercial and has never caused ma any issues. (Something that can't be said for the commercial one:))

Read a bunch of posts and couldn't come up with an answer. your link explained it perfectly.

Here's waiting for the formats to standardise.

[beti88]

Hi there!

Recently I've been using RipBot264 to encode 1080p videos to smaller ones, and so far it was working perfectly.

So I decided, why not try it with a big video. So I choose Iron Man. But despite my best efforts, the app generates some strange video 'errors' or 'artifacts' whatever they're called. And I can't figure out why. It wasn't a problem with the clips, and they are not present in the 1080p source.

This is what i'm talking about. They just keep appearing randomly.

http://img203.imagevenue.com/loc200/th_19129_snapshot20110105102022_122_200lo.jpg (http://img203.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=19129_snapshot20110105102022_122_200lo.jpg)

Here's my script, if it helps (not including the empty parts):

#Resize
video=Spline36Resize(video,1280,534).Sharpen(0.3)

#Colors
video=Tweak(video,hue=0,sat=1,bright=-12,cont=1.4)

#Denoise
LoadPlugin("c:\Users\Barati\Downloads\RibBot\Tools\AviSynth plugins\fft3dgpu\fft3dgpu.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\Users\Barati\Downloads\RibBot\Tools\AviSynth plugins\gradfun2db\gradfun2db.dll")
video=FFT3DGPU(video,sigma=1.5).gradfun2db

Just built a monster i7-2600K (Sandybridge Unlocked).. Plan on running close to 5ghz.. Will report back on x264's encoding performance.. I expect to be blown away. This post is mostly off-topic.. but I wonder if x264 will support the Intel built in video encoding accerators which should blow everything out of the water soon. Imagine, encoding a BR to 1080p with crazy settings in Ripbot at faster than real time.. that's what i'm talking about.. Go Intel!

[weasel_]

:)
U living in dream.
Quick Sync is just one more shity hardware encoder...
very litle or none benifet to x264 speed :(
But still u can imagine ;)
or encode br1080p faster then real time with intel "quality" encoder

[Lighto]

Interested to see the performance of the new Sandy Bridge as well.
More interested in AMD Fusion APU though since it comes with DX11 gfx.

[LigH]

@ beti88:

Which player do you use to play it with? VLC?

[Atak_Snajpera]

@beti88
Do you see the same artifacts in ripbot264 (preview script)?

[beti88]

Yes, I see them in ripbot preview, then on the finished material too.

I use kmplayer, but I think it's irrevelant:)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Remove Denoise then and try again.

[beti88]

Removing denoise removed those things. Sad, I wanted smoother picture, but I think one has to make compromises:)

Also, giving it the tv->pc correction, generates this line:

video=Levels(video,16, 1, 235, 0, 255, coring=false)

Which value is the saturation? Because it gives a nice picture, with stong contrast, but also makes it oversaturated. How can I fix that?

[Atak_Snajpera]

DON'T USE THAT FOR BD-sources!!!

[beti88]

How can I archive the nice contrasted encode, with black blacks without it?

I could'nt do it with tweaking so far.

[Noisrevid]

Just an update on my Sandy Bridge i7-2600K cpu..

Using a BR source, cropped and resized to 720p and using the HIGH 4.0 default profile.. seeing 50-60 fps.. this CPU is nutty fast. :P

Is that the AMD 6-core? Sandy Bridge overclocked to near 5 ghz now and it's ridiculous..

[Noisrevid]

Issue with locked Windows 7 machines.. I've noticed Ripbot264 or maybe it's one of the .exe's in the background just completely stops encoding (as if I just slept the computer) and resumes after I unlock the machine. This is annoying. Is this happening to anybody else?

[soneca]

Using a BR source, cropped and resized to 720p and using the HIGH 4.0 default profile.. seeing 50-60 fps.. this CPU is nutty fast. :P

The i7 980X is still the fastest.:D

2nd pass > 48.8 vs. 36.3 fps

[pacaveli211]

Is that the AMD 6-core?
affirmative

The i7 980X is still the fastest.:D

2nd pass > 48.8 vs. 36.3 fps

well since you can buy ~3 of the 2600k's for the same price as the 980x (extreme edition)....it's not much of a contest at all when you consider the financial factor

[soneca]

I agree, I thought that this new processor would reach the market with a higher price.

[Ramscoop]

Another great release, thanks Atak_Snajpera!! :thanks:

[/qoute]

Any ideas?

[benjyv]

@dzirkelb

Pls ,post it again to make an ideea... :hmmm:

[tp546]

Hey Atak_Snajpera and everyone else. I have a feature request - would it be possible to add the ability to have a DTS passthru as well as a TrueHD passthru? In order to maintain the lossless HD sound, I have been using MakeMKV and then using mkvmerge to merge the video from RipBot with the audio from MakeMKV. My process would be a lot easier if I could eliminate those steps and use RipBot to do it all. The only way I see a passthru option is for AC3 audio. Apologies if this topic has already come up but I would really like to see this functionality added in the future. Thanks!

[dzirkelb]

@dzirkelb

Pls ,post it again to make an ideea... :hmmm:

I don't understand what you are asking?

[bobytt]

First i want to thank Atak_Snajpera for the great product he create and i donated a little money for something i use every month. And i wanted to ask is there plans of using CUDA in encoding in the future?

[Lighto]

This change will save a lot of time as the user won't spend their time encoding using RipBot only to realize their source uses variable frame rate, the output is off sync and need to encode again.:(

Or in the scenario that the user is doing a batch encoding and needs to manually add "convertfps=true" for all the variable frame rate job.

This simple change can help save the user from the trouble or figuring why is the output off sync!:cool:

I would also like to suggest that RipBot uses AVISource() to handle .avi input instead of the current DirectShowSource() due to frame accuracy issues I read and some time encounter.

I hope this isn't too much to ask for. :p

Cheerio~

Edit: 1 more thing, in case anyone encounter trouble extracting audio stream from their source, try updating the ffmpeg in RipBot's Tools folder.

[stylez82]

Thank you for the excellent program. For a video encoding noob like myself, it's far easier to use than everything else that I've found.

There is one small nuisance I've noticed when dealing with multiple files. In the process of configuring Job-X, I click the ellipsis to change the audio track, the directory C:\Temp\RipBot264\Job-X is displayed. When configuring the next Job-Y, I again click the ellipsis to change the audio track, but still, C:\Temp\RipBot264\Job-X is opened rather than Job-Y's directory.

Just felt I should point this out, as it may save others from a slight headache.

I accidentally encoded several files with the same audio track 'cause I wasn't paying attention to the directory it was opening. :mad:

:thanks:

yeah, same thing happens with subtitle tracks. a bit of a nuisance

[Atak_Snajpera]

Feature request: add "convertfps=true" when RipBot264 uses DirectShowSource

My answer in logs...


v1.11.0
Added: convertfps=true in DirectShowSource()

v1.11.4
Fixed: Weird stuttering (it was caused by convertfps=true)


I would also like to suggest that RipBot uses AVISource() to handle .avi input instead of the current DirectShowSource() due to frame accuracy issues I read and some time encounter.

v1.14.4
Changed: Avi files will be decoded via DirectShowSource instead of OpenDMLSource (Reason: OpenDMLSource does not work well with Windows 7 RTM - ripbot tends to hang at 'gathering information')

Also avis created by Fraps won't work.

I will try to fix that.

@Atak
Didn't thought of checking out the change logs, my bad.
Anyways, avis created by Fraps works fine for me on RipBot.

[benjyv]

Hi Atak ,

Is there any chance for Ripbot to encode a hardsub subtitles from a .ts file ??
I've tried to extract such kind of subtitles using TSMuxer ( and I know very well to handle it...) but it didn't worked .
Using VLC I can see subtitles but only by checking the option "Closed captions 1 "
In this pics " Disable" is setted by default.

http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/8686/11111g.jpg

What settings are required Ripbot to " see" this kind of subtitles and to encode them ( hardsub - like original , or embeded - preferable)

Thanks !!!!
===============================================================
Question regarding sound :

Everytime I try to encode a LPCM 5.1 or LPCM 5.0 sound track the result is AAC 2.0 which is not so satisfactory for connoisseurs.

There is any possibility for Ripbot to make that LPCM 5.0 or 5.1 sound tracks at least AC3 5.0 or AC3 5.1 ??

Preferably would be DTS 5.0 or DTS 5.1 ;-) but I know that for the moment is not possible :(

[Mario0708]

I have a problem with ripbot
When I opened a file I get this error

cannot open file

.......blu-ray_structure_info.txt

Is there a solution?

[Zorro70]

Hi atak

ive just built a sandy bridge based pc and wanted to check how fast it goes.

I encode avchd for a Hd site so do a dozen or so a week.

However on first pass, although 3 times as quick it only utilises 30% of the cpu.

Second pass utilises 100% and gives an even more dramatic speed boost.


just to add

intel quad q6600 @3.4ghz
first pass with my settings for avchd 5 hours
second pass 12-15 hours

sandy bridge i7 2600k @4.4ghz

first pass under 2 hours
second pass 2-3hours :eek: :D

if only i could get cpu 100% in the first pass i could do a proper high quality avchd in under 4 hours.


Anyway thanks for your awesome program iCandy loves you :)

Hello Cornflower .. I was reading the posts for this same error. I did not see that anyone answered your question, so I am including myself with your problem. I just opened up Ripbot and was excited about using it, but every video I open gives me the same error message. Any help on how to fix this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

How about being more specific as to the post you're referring to?

Has anybody used RipBot on a Mac using Parallels? I just tried it last night, and found the performance to be significantly worse than I expected. I was encoding Mary and Max (2009), which took around 6.5hrs on my Core 2 Duo Windows 7 laptop, and it took around 3.5 hours on my Core i7 Mac Book Pro. I had all 4 CPU cores assigned to the VM, and had somewhere around 6GB of RAM availble to the VM. Does that sound about right, or am I getting slowed down by the fact that I'm running RipBot in a VM? Would it be significantly faster on BootCamp?

Your MacBook has a Core i7 6xxM, which is a dual core CPU.
As such, it won't be as fast as a quad core i7.
Your OS sees 4 CPUs because of Hyper-Threading (2 threads * 2 cores = 4 threads).

If you're using a 32-bit edition of Windows, try installing a 64-bit edition. The encoding will be a little faster because the 64-bit version of x264 encoder will be used.

Installing Windows with BootCamp will give you better results, but how much time will you save ? 1 hour ? 5 minutes ? I don't know.

If you've got the time, try to see it by yourself ;)

P.-S : I don't know your encoding settings, but 3.5 hours seems a pretty good score for me. FYI it takes 7-8 hours for a 1080p movie with CQ18 on a Core i7 820QM.

Thanks for the response!

It's a 64-bit version of Windows, btw.

Also, the movie takes somewhat less time to encode because it's animated. Regular 1080p movies take around 10-16 hours on my Windows box (the Core 2 Duo one, that is). Haven't done much encoding with the Parallels setup yet, since it's a pain (no BD drive yet, one's on the way).

I have a problem with ripbot
When I opened a file I get this error

cannot open file:

.......blu-ray_structure_info.txt

Is there a solution?

can someone upload a package in which all of the latest tools and include ripbot are?

must pay attention to something if the tools installed?

Hey all, Having an issue that i hope someone can help me with :)

I've been using a older version of RipBot264 (dont recall what the release number is but its probably a few releases back). well after downloading the latest version, i've noticed an issue with audio.

I recently was archiving a few blu rays i own and noticed that after muxing, when i choose audio i want to be use for final encoding, i have no option to copy stream anymore ? :( I usually pick DTS 5.1 master or TRUE HD and used to be able to use that audio for the final encode (i encode to MKV) now i dont have this option anymore :(

only 5.1 options i can choose from are aac or AC3. i usually go with AC3 and the highest bit-rate option (640kbps)

how can copy stream like i used to be able to?

thanks

@Mario0708
edit ripbot264.ini

change

StoreTempFilesin=AUTO

to

StoreTempFilesin=C

Does anyone have any ideas on my no audio issue previously posted? Or, any way I can provide more information?

[illestdomer2005]

Just an update on my Sandy Bridge i7-2600K cpu..

Using a BR source, cropped and resized to 720p and using the HIGH 4.0 default profile.. seeing 50-60 fps.. this CPU is nutty fast. :P

Is this in CQ or 2-pass mode? If 2-pass, is this 2nd pass then, I presume?

I already have an i7 920 OC'ed to 4GHz that does around 30 something FPS on 2nd pass of 720p encodes. But I am building a comp for my brother with the new i5 2500K, and I hope he can get even faster encodes than I do :)

v1.16.4:)

Thanks Atak!

[Lighto]

Thanks for the new version!
I am sure lots of folks will be happy with the HD audio option.

What exactly is the HD Audio option? I see it references core in the changelog. I am testing the newest version and I see the option to choose the core (so this is not the same as grabbing the full HD Audio track).

I am not exactly sure as well, I may have referred to it using an incorrect term.:o

Yeah, I just ran Ripbot on a BluRay and you cannot grab the full HD Audio track, just the core.

[pacaveli211]

allowing core extraction is good to have though
maybe someday atak will succumb to our pleas and allow full hd track muxing =)

[dzirkelb]

I just downloaded the new version to see if it fixed my issue, but I still am getting No Audio as a selection under the Audio settings. Audio plays just fine from the source file, so I do not know what to do.

[pacaveli211]

what's your source? bluray?
what type of audio does it have? (LPCM / TrueHD / DTS-HDMA / DD / DTS)
