^ nice going mate! :thanks:

will check it out as i need to do a few vids for ps3.

just noticed, u must have ffdshow? i don't really want to install ffdshow as i prefer separate codecs. any way around this?

EDIT: just tried it on a lil sample, i wasn't asked to install ffdshow, just started the process. very easy prog to use!

[Jerry_Sm@rt]

Very nice GUI,easy to use.
Why not making the first pass faster,like this:

x264.exe --pass 1 --bitrate 800 --stats ".stats" --bframes 3 --filter 0,0 --subme 1 --analyse none --vbv-maxrate 25000 --me dia --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --aq-strength 0 --aq-sensitivity 0 --output NUL "hh.avs"

@echo+

x264.exe --pass 2 --bitrate 800 --stats ".stats" --ref 3 --mixed-refs --bframes 3 --subme 5 --b-pyramid --bime --weightb --filter 0,0 --analyse all --8x8dct --vbv-maxrate 25000 --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --aq-strength 0 --aq-sensitivity 0 --output "hh.mkv" "hh.avs"

P.S:PSP really takes 3 bframes?

[Atak_Snajpera]

EDIT: just tried it on a lil sample, i wasn't asked to install ffdshow, just started the process. very easy prog to use!

Are you sure You didn't install FFdshow? RipBot264 does simple check in registry every time at the beginning. If key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\ffdshow] wasn't found you wouldn't be able to encode anything.

Jerry_Sm@rt:

Why not but before I change anything I would like to know what would be a disadvantage? (quality loss,file size not accurate...)


PSP really takes 3 bframes?
Yes! PSP plays movies with 3 bframes without any problems! My PSP has never had problems with any movie/anime.

[nullstuff]

PSP really takes 3 bframes?
...sharktooth's PD-PSP profile uses 3 b-frames, too.

-- nullstuff

[Jerry_Sm@rt]

@Atak_Snajpera
Maybe some psnr loss,but I really can not tell the differences between a fast 1st pass encoded movie and a normal 1st pass encoded movie(same bitrate).If I got a faster cpu, I would not care about it.
What's your psp version?3.5?I'm still running 2.71se

[Atak_Snajpera]

At the moment my PSP version is still 3.50 but in few days when my Lumines game arrives I will switch to 3.40 OE-A :)

Yes, I don't have FFdshow installed. But I did have it previously..

EDIT: Those keys are still there. :)

[Hyper_Thread]

Ripbot264 fail to open any supported format & display an error message : '25.0000' is not a valid floating point value. Even if try to open NTSC file ('29.9700' is not.... in this case)
Avisynth v2.57, HaliMediaSpliter, FFdshow & .Net runtime v2.0 are installed properly (i'm using other GUIs with no problems)

[RussianPsycho]

@Atak_Snajpera,

i get this error too:

cu :D

[Atak_Snajpera]

Problem with decimal symbol has been fixed in new version (v.1.0.1)

[Hyper_Thread]

1- Not all of us are using the MT version of Avisynth, so why do you put SetMode(2) to the script when Deinterlace is activated ?! with official version, your script fail.
2- Tdeint don't give the optimal result with mthreshL=0. In most cases, Tdeint( order=0 or 1, full=false) can produce a good picture (this is my personal opinion).
2- The PC Profile is very slow (i don't try the 2 others), can you add a "balanced" profile.

Keep the good work.

[~bT~]

^ MT is not added if you're not using an MT version of AviSynth.

well, that's my experience anyway.

cheers for the fixed version!

[Atak_Snajpera]

Not all of us are using the MT version of Avisynth, so why do you put SetMode(2) to the script when Deinterlace is activated ?! with official version, your script fail

MT version will be used ONLY if available! So If you don't have MT AviSynth SetMode(2) will not be added.

Tdeint don't give the optimal result with mthreshL=0. In most cases, Tdeint( order=0 or 1, full=false) can produce a good picture (this is my personal opinion)

NO! You are wrong! Tdeint without mthreshL=0 produces ugly artifacts! BTW I made many tests with default settings and with mthreshL=0 and I did not see any difference between screenshots.

Why don't you use PS3 profile? (It uses 3 ref frames instead of 5 ). If it's still to slow use PSP profile (only 2 refs)

[Jacquers]

Thanks for the app! Downloading the update now to go and test it after work.

Just a suggestion for future updates: Maybe make only the changed files / exe available for users that have already downloaded v1.0.0 ?

[~bT~]

^ on the next version, would it be poss to select a destination for temp files instead of using c:\temp?

or just make sure the prog doesn't delete the temp folder?

[jethro]

This is one of the prettiest apps I've ever seen! Amazing interface look.:cool:
And it just worked w/o problems first time I tried it.

Firrst off I think it really needs user-customizable profiles. I think everyone here has some favourite switches and would like to tweak an option or two...

However, I like your simple design and minimalistic look very much and would hate to see it bloated and cluttered in any way. It would be great if you could keep this simple elegant feel while adding new options.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Custom profiles will be added in v1.1.0.

Simple design will be always kept. That's my goal :)

[Hyper_Thread]

Please don't say i'm wrong since i've said "this is my personal opinion". & i don't have to use a restricted level profile, i'm just proposing to offer much more choice for users.

[Atak_Snajpera]

OK! I respect your opinion. Custom profiles are under construction. It will take probably few days to implement and testing.

[Jerry_Sm@rt]

Would you please add faster first pass surport in custom profiles?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Yes I will add faster first pass as well

[asdfsauce]

Excellent program Atak.

Just a couple questions; Will the current mp4 muxer do ipod video? And also, is there any chance you are planning on adding some kind of batch encode option to the program in the near future?

[Hyper_Thread]

iPod videos needs a different encoding profile, MP4 muxer is the same for all devices.
RipBot264 is based on batch encode, look at the main window.

@Atak_Snajpera

i found "MT.dll" accidentally copied to my avisynth' plugins folder, so sorry for my displaced question about "SetMTMode".

[asdfsauce]

I meant like, applying settings to a bunch of files at once instead of doing them one by one and then adding them to the queue. And IIRC from the megui wiki, you need a special mp4box build for ipod video. Not such a big deal anymore since I noticed theres a tools directory where you can replace mp4box with the build of your choosing.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I think I will be able to implement your request after v1.1.0. At the moment I don't have time for that. Custom profiles are more important. Nevertheless your suggestion is very good because I do many encodes for PSP mainly TV-Shows like Conan o'Brein and I know how annoying it can be when you do the same steps maaaaany times.

[raven369]

Will you be implementing/supporting the .pmp (avc) format for the PSP on Ripbot264?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Will you be implementing/supporting the .pmp (avc) format for the PSP on Ripbot264?

Exotic pmp format will never be supported. Since Sony unlocked full resoluton I see no reason to not use widely recognized mp4 format.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Very important bug has been fixed in v1.1.1!!! :eek: Description as always in my first post.

[asdfsauce]

Keep up the good work Atak, these are some nice changes. Only version 1.1.1 and it's already my favorite video encoding GUI.

Only suggestion I would make with regard to the x264 profiles would be to add an option to view/edit the command line arguements.

Oh and, if it's not too much trouble, a way to add your own resolution presets in the AVS editor.

Thanks.

[Barough]

This looks like a nice and easy GUI. I'll have a look @ it. Thnx :)

[Lemonadez]

How do we access "Codec Settings"

Can you also add a 32kbps sounds?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Can you also add a 32kbps sounds?
No because 32kbps is not enough to provide good quality in stereo.

[B. W.]

Any chance of adding the 5.5G iPod profile?

[Atak_Snajpera]

"5.5G iPod profile" is more restricted than ordinary profile. In 5.5 you cannot use deblocking and also MacroBlocks cannot be analyzed. And what do you get instead? Resolution higher than iPod's display (640 on 320= senseless)

"5.5G iPod profile" is more restricted than ordinary profile. In 5.5 you cannot use deblocking and also MacroBlocks cannot be analyzed. And what do you get instead? Resolution higher than iPod's display (640 on 320= senseless)
But the same file can play on the iPod, within QuickTime, and people who own Apple TVs. Not only that, but you can take advantage of the iPhone's higher resolution.

[Atak_Snajpera]

But the same file can play on the iPod, within QuickTime, and people who own Apple TVs.

But quality will be still terrible without deblocking (annoying blocks will kill your eyes:). Even 1.5Mbps (limit for iPOD) is not enough to achieve reasonable quality at 640x480 without advanced settings like Deblocking,CABAC,Trellis,many r-frames,b-frames and so on. iPOD is not PSP where you can activate almost all settings and enjoy high quality movies on high resolution display at 512kbps.

...but you can take advantage of the iPhone's higher resolution.

Quality will be alot better if you use iPhone's native resolution with regular profile.

[weaver4]

But it still will not be able to play on Apple TV or the iPod.

I agree the Apple TV profile is bad, but it will play on the Apple TV and no one if forcing them to use that profile.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Any chance of adding the 5.5G iPod profile?

Disable deblocking and remove P8x8 and B8x8 ,set AVC Level to 3.0. Probably you will need to download modified Nicmp4box.

[Atak_Snajpera]

New version (1.2.0) is available for download :)

[Lemonadez]

Im always getting that problem?

-.-

[~bT~]

new version detects I have MT version of avisynth when in fact I don't.

[Atak_Snajpera]

@Lemonadez
Are You getting this error with all formats (avi,mkv,vob,ts)?

If you are getting this error don't close it. Open getinfo.avs file from "c:\RipBot264temp\job1" in Media Player Classic and check if info.txt is created in the same directory.

@bT
Please check if you have MT.dll file in "C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins" directory and let me know

[~bT~]

^ yes I do but I dont have an MT version of Avisynth.

[Atak_Snajpera]

MT.dll is a part of multithreaded AviSynth. If file is present RipBot264 assumes you have MT version of AviSynth. Remove that file and everything will be fine.

[InorganicMatter]

This program was written in Delphi, and is therefore automatically awesome! :) Trying it out now...will see how it stacks up to AutoMKV. UI looks nice!

[Unrealbr]

Found it very interesting, will give it a try!

[scilli]

Great app, just a few suggestions. Maybe you could add support for avs and d2v as video input. That would make things a lot more simple for converting DVD's or for dealing with unsuported formats(like wmv or ogm) that could be handed as DirectShowSources.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Maybe you could add support for avs and d2v as video input

d2v is created automatically with MPEG-1,MPEG-2 (*.VOB...) by DGIndex. Converting WMV via DirectShowSource is very annoying due to problems with audio synchronization.

[scilli]

I didn't realize that d2v was already built in. I'll have to figure out something for wmv than.
