I havent had an issue with stopping after a specfic chunk. I just disable the servers in Encoding Client and when all chunk is stopped I click the Abort button the Ripbot264 window, DONT close the Encoding Client by clicking the X. If I then restart the job (dont do any editing or change any settings as it will restart all the chunks), then it have worked just fine for me. But normally I do one movie encoding at a time. I think we have talked about a function to pause DE or abort it when all currently encoding chunk finish, so you can press abort and it will ask you to abort after currently encoding chunk or just abort now and lose currently encoding chunks. That would be a nice feature. Also a big fat Pause button in the Encoding Client to just pause/unpause current encoding, when you need processing power for something else. I have done all these with MD1 The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey (Extended Cut).mkv 27.212.789.907 The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug (Extended Cut).mkv 25.732.263.184 The Hobbit - The Battle of the Five Armies (Extended Cut).mkv 21.143.328.869 The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (Extended Cut).mkv 30.316.006.034 The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Cut).mkv 24.249.621.328 The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers (Extended Cut).mkv 22.888.413.941 its the final size and I didnt have any issues at all. CRF 18, x265, HDR, copping, no resize and MD1. Chunk size is 2 min. So that gave me around 130 chunks for Return of the king extended edition. My encoding speed in DE with 2 machines and this kind of movie is around 4-5 fps. So it took well over 20 hours and close to a full day. I believe return of the king extended edition is the longest movie you will properly encounter.

The ETA is based on Avg time of each chunk, thats why its off with just a few chuncks. On 4K movies it can take time, as one chunk might take 10-20 min to encode. So getting 3-4 chunks encoded will take 1 hour. I cant see you can do any better, except for collecting avg. time from other encodings with simular settings, but that will be to overdo it.

I generally try and stop the chunks, as they finish, before I shut down, just in case, or you'd lose that part of the chunk, if you just quit. Thing is, when you Abort you get a pop up warning, which is a bit misleading, but you've gotta do, what ya gotta do. Quote:

And you use 2 minute chunks... Not sure why I use 1 minute chunks, probably the impression that it's doing them faster, I guess. I'll let you know what my fps is, when I'm game to try a 4K encode again. I did a couple 1080p movies today, x264 to x265, mdg2, took about 1 1/2 hours @ about 50 fps. No DE issues... Quote:

I use CQ18 for all my encodes. The real issue in quality and size is removing the grain.
For example, I just re-did the Harry Potter series as that was one of my first 4K encodes back when they first came out and I was never happy with its size. I did do CQ18 with that as well, but no degraining. Here is the comparison on just the video size, without the soundtrack. Before (CQ18 no degraining) 19G Harry_Potter_1_The_Sorcerers_Stone_2001_4K.mkv 18G Harry_Potter_2_The_Chamber_of_Secrets_2002_4K.mkv 23G Harry_Potter_3_The_Prisoner_of_Azkaban_2004_4K.mkv 20G Harry_Potter_4_The_Goblet_of_Fire_2005_4K.mkv 18G Harry_Potter_5_The_Order_of_The_Phoenix_2007_4K.mkv 17G Harry_Potter_6_The_Half-Blood_Prince_2009_4K.mkv 17G Harry_Potter_7_The_Deathly_Hallows_Part1_2010_4K.mkv 18G Harry_Potter_7_The_Deathly_Hallows_Part2_2011_4K.mkv After (CQ18 MDegrain2 (thSAD 100-150)) 5.98G (MD2-150) Harry_Potter_1_The_Sorcerers_Stone_2001_4K.mkv 5.30G (MD2-150) Harry_Potter_2_The_Chamber_of_Secrets_2002_4K.mkv 8.31G (MD2-150) Harry_Potter_3_The_Prisoner_of_Azkaban_2004_4K.mkv 5.49G (MD2-150) Harry_Potter_4_The_Goblet_of_Fire_2005_4K.mkv 5.20G (MD2-100) Harry_Potter_5_The_Order_of_The_Phoenix_2007_4K.mkv 5.57G (MD2-100) Harry_Potter_6_The_Half-Blood_Prince_2009_4K.mkv 6.54G (MD2-100) Harry_Potter_7_The_Deathly_Hallows_Part1_2010_4K.mkv 7.65G (MD2-150) Harry_Potter_7_The_Deathly_Hallows_Part2_2011_4K.mkv My wife commented that the new encodes looked a lot better. Just removing that smidgen of grain transforms the video. CQ18 should give you the same picture quality as the original source while the video is playing. If you want to err on the side of more quality, use CQ16. If I remember correctly, I think I did MDegrain2 with a thSAD of 150 on each Lord of the Rings. Some of these I ran through 2-3 times with different thSAD settings ranging from 100-200 to see what the size turns out to be. My final size (using MKVToolNix to stitch (append) them together into one file) Lord_of_the_Rings_1_Fellowship_of_the_Ring_2001_EE_4K.mkv 12.9GB Lord_of_the_Rings_2_Two_Towers_2002_EE_4K.mkv 12.5GB Lord_of_the_Rings_3_Return_of_the_King_2003_EE_4K.mkv 16.8GB Just tuning the MDegrain thSAD values can result in a huge decrease in size. |

If your computers in your DE cluster has the same speed, then using larger chunks will save a little bit of time starting new chunks. But if the slow machine has the last chunk (which is always bigger), then it might take longer then using smaller size chunks. I use 2 min as its a fine ratio for me and limits the number of chunks by half compared to 1 min. For 1080p encoding, I use 2 DE Servers on each machine (4 encoding in total), I start the DE server with low priority, it satuates the CPU and gives med around 65 FPS on a 1080p encoding without filter, CRF18, X265. |

Thanks, it did. So I just want to make sure I got it correctly: if I switch to an equivalent CPU without integrated graphics, my GPU encoding time will increase since it usually uses both integrated and dedicated cards at the same time? I didn't know that. I always assumed it was using the discrete card only.

What you'll need to do is check what devices are shown under the "OpenCL" tab, and edit your switches to enable what you've got. At the bottom of the "OpenCL" screen, it will show what device is available for certain functions, if you have the left device displayed, then that will assist during normal encoding (I think), but if you choose GPU decoding or filtering, then that device will be used to process. I think that's when the switches come into play, when you have multiple GPU's, or you want to be specific in it's use. Might be a bit of trial & error for you at first.

Using a GPGPU may accelerate the calculation when the algorithm gains a lot from massive parallelism, much more than uploading the video frames from main RAM to video RAM and downloading the results cost overhead.

Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC3)
Based on what I've been reading, FFMPEG should be able to encode 5.1 E-AC3. Can this be add as an option to RB? Based on what I've been reading compression is similar to AAC and E-AC3 can be decoded by modern AVRs which makes it a good replacement for me instead of using for AC3 and AAC.

I looked and I could find no free tools that could do 7.1 channel E-AC3. |

Hi tormento, you're fairly new here....
OK, the .ini file stores all the start up & running settings for RipBot, you don't generally edit it directly (but you can), as the majority of the settings are in the GUI, and saved to the .ini. I'm pretty sure it has to be in the main Ripbot folder !!! The file & folder structure as extracted from the downloaded .7z file.

I'm having an issue on one of my two PCs. I had everything working perfectly, but recently reformatted both PCs. I've got Ripbot working on one (PC1), but I cannot get it to work on the other (PC2). When launching a job from PC1, it is not able to connect to PC2 for distributed encoding. When launching from PC2, it connects to PC1 for distributed encoding, but PC2 never does any work. I can't figure out what the issue is, as all the settings appear to be correct.
Not sure if it makes a difference, but when I launch Ripbot on PC1, the encoding server also launches automatically and appears in my taskbar. When I launch on PC2, the encoding server does not appear in the taskbar, but it does appear in Task Manager. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. PC2 is my more powerful PC, so I really want to get this resolved quickly. |

Network settings are the most important for DE, so just go thru and double check EVERYTHING !!!! Also, I do have a similar problem with the server icon not showing in the taskbar...you might need to manually open it, then add more as needed...

Well, my first post in this thread is 12th June 2009, 17:51
I asked as in the release there is a "updater.ini" while the extracted file is "update.ini", therefore my question.

Yep, EVERYTHING needs to be kept / left in the main Ripbot folder.

Hey...
Yep, I thought of that too, but he mentions that Encoding Server is running, just no taskbar icon, and I guess no connection..... And I get that on one PC quite regularly....just need to start it manually. Probably something simple
