You can render/burn subs with Vidcoder/Handbrake but I much prefer Ripbot over those.

Do you really have to burn permanently subtitles on video frame?

In this case, yes. I'm making my own fanedit of Godfather part 2 which is 64 minutes shorter than the theatrical. The first thing I did was burn in the subs with Vidcoder since I can't do that correctly with Ripbot. Then I did the editing.

With the movie so radically altered it would be a royal pain to adjust the subs correctly and then force them with Ripbot.

There's something very interesting going on here:-

@Atak
Zero tier 1 is changing the IP of the DE server, and I can't connect
I added zero tier's IP but still won't connect

[rlev11]

No experience with Zero Tier, but I'll give it a shot. Does the Zero Tier Client app create another network connection sort of like a vpn client would do? If so you may have to specify the local ip address when starting the encoding server. I have to do this on one of my boxes that I use a work vpn client on. If I would just start the encoding server while the vpn client is active, it would pick up the ip of the vpn connection, I have to specify the local ip address in the command line to start the server like "encodingserver /ip 192.168.1.201 /port 1000".
This is of course assuming that you not using DE across the Zero Tier managed network.

I have to specify the local ip address in the command line to start the server like "encodingserver /ip 192.168.1.201 /port 1000".

How do you do that??

Are you sure about that?

I want the encoding server to have the right IP, not the IP of zero tier 1

Client IP in DE settings shows two adresses. I want to select the right one and I want that on the server

Obviously, it doesn't!

[TR-7970X]

So I've been on this Forum now for nearly 5 months, and I think it's time for me to address the " in the room" (well, not in the room, actually) !

I have been using RipBot in one form or another now for many, many years, and I was VERY impressed when the now "disappeared" Pauly Dunne released a very modded build of RipBot, and fortunately, I am lucky to have most of his builds, as I started using them almost immediately.

He also updated them quite regularly, but then he mysteriously disappeared, and then TDS took the reins and released the modded builds, and I have them as well, but then he disappeared.

Not 100% why or what happened, but clearly someone had it in for them.

Now I have figured out how they updated the builds, and I can keep the copies I have right up to date, as there are always new & improved components being released.

The main RipBot components have seen major updates recently, and compared to the last time Atak released any major update, is months ahead, and I find it performs exceptionally well, and with many extra features.

I also noticed that Ryushin released his version of what is clearly Pauly Dunne's SMDegrain package, but to be honest, it's SO out of date, and cut down, it's hardly worth the effort, but he's got a link to it in his signature, so it's available to anyone that wants to give SMDegrain a shot (it IS worth it when used to it's potential).

I've even noticed that rlev11 has the same link, (a bit strange), so they must be friends.

I would really like to make the build I'm currently using, available to everyone, but I'm reluctant, as it would probably be "stolen" by the above.

So that's all I wanted to say, I'll probably get some "hate", or more than likely, no comments at all.

It's simple, the forum has rule 14:

14) Multiple registrations are prohibited and are grounds for immediate account deletion.

And both TDS and Pauly Dunne and a third user were the same person, as he acknowledged.

He was given the choice of which one he wanted to keep, and the aforementioned accounts were deleted.

It's not a matter of being obsessive (or "hate"), but of following the forum rules.

You are free to publish any version of software with the intention of sharing it.

If you've seen versions of the same thing by two users, it could be that they were the same person and not that it was "stolen."

Once again, you are stirring the pot. I specifically made sure when I created my "Lite" version from scratch it did not contain any derivative work from your package as I didn't want my package tainted with anything from you. I included a Sources file in my package where I got the code. I wrote my own scripts based on Atak's work, not yours.

Before you start taking credit for your work, you better acknowledge all the work Dogway has done and all the help that he and others gave you in his thread. SMDegrain wouldn't be where it is today without Dogway's hard work and he is maintaining the SMDegrain source, not you:
https://github.com/Dogway/Avisynth-Scripts

rlev11 having the link to my package is probably because it's not based on yours and that his and my scripts both work great with the Lite package. It also allows other to test the waters with SMDegrain.

The "Elephant in the room" is that you've become toxic and hateful. You put down Atak and RipBot instead of being appreciative. I supported you and acknowledged your work in getting me to try SMDegrain and I was appreciative and what did I get in the end was your ire. Your package has become radioactive and it introduces compatibility problems with Atak's to the point you have to turn off auto updates.

SMDegrain is not yours. You were not even the first one to introduce SMDegrain to RipBot, it was byteshare.

So yea, I am done with your (Pauly Dunne / TDS/ FTLOY / Retired@55 / TR-7970X) toxic and narcissist behavior.

Have no idea how you've made this connection.

But now it all makes sense.

Hey guys, take it outside!

[ReinerSchweinlin]

First - thank you Atak for this wonderfull software!!

Its been a while, but I found some time to use RB again.

While encoding some of my DVDs (makemkv, so Original streams in an MKV with MPEG2 Video), I encountered something:

When I crop some borders in RB, the AR is lost. Many DVDs have anamorpic pictures which are stretched at playback.

If I encode withput cropping, the AR stays fine, if I crop, RB reverts to 1:1 AR.

of course this can easily be fixed with MKV toolnix, but it would be nice if this extra step was not necessary.

Maybe you have time to look into it ?

Thanx!

Very interesting that you've commented on this...

I have been processing a lot of old DVD's recently, and some of them are 4:3, and it appears that RipBot does not process these correctly, and they mostly end up "squashed", sadly.

However, any 16:9's turn out with the correct AR.

I have found that Handbrake handles 4:3 a lot better, so I have been quickly running them thru HB with basic settings, then thru RB to do other filtering.

HB is also good at quickly changing Colorspace.

Another unrelated thing, when Atak introduced the segmenting function, I used it with great success, with cutting the start & end of some video's (mainly TV episodes), however, I used it again recently and it didn't seem to work the way I remember.

For example, if you cut a section from the start of the video, and you then go to another point to edit, the frame reference changes, and the cut positions change...I'm hoping that there hasn't been some change to how it works now, compared to when it was first introduced.

I have two encoding profiles. One for anamorphic content which is the default encoding profile:
[MA10 x.x] 10bit . Progressive.txt which contains:
--profile main10 --output-depth 10

I copy that profile and call it: [MA10 x.x] 10bit . Progressive Anamorphic.txt

I created another profile called: [MA10 x.x] 10bit . Progressive Custom.txt which contains:
--profile main10 --output-depth 10 --sar 1:1

RB will do anamorphic by default. Adding the --sar 1:1 keeps the square pixels and it will not do anamorphic. I use the Custom file by default and only select the Anamorphic when I'm dealing with DVDs and I want to keep the anamoprhic (rectangular pixels) aspect ratio. I only keep anamorphic before adding it to Topaz Video AI to upscale to square pixels. So anamorphic 720x480 4:3 content gets upscaled to 720x540 square pixels. Anamorphic 720x480 16:9 gets upscaled to 854x480. Then I upscale the square pixel output to HD using two more steps from there.

Atak, as a feature request, tt would be best to add a anamorphic check box in RB to either add or remove --sar 1:1.

If you want to crop anamorphic in RB, it's best to resize (upscale) to the displayed 1:1 pixel depth and crop from that. So 16:9 cropped to 2:39:1 would be 853x355, but you don't want odd pixels, so 854x356 would be best and give you a 1:1 square pixel.

What I've learned is that it's best not to crop anamoprhic output if I want to store the best quality DVD output.
