But why would you need that?

When I'm trying to find the ideal bitrate or if I don't like the quality of the encode. Really, just about any time you have to redo the encode. Some settings can be tweaked like subme or aq-mode. I have encode that have a dark scene that don't look good and I'll change aq-mode to 3 and it looks a lot better.

I know other settings like --tu-inter can't be changed otherwise it'll affect the data stored in the analysis file.

Just a thought, if it's to much work I understand.

Two questions about the LWI files:
1. Once they get made if you keep the file and later add a video (new job) that has a *.lwi file will it be reused or does a new one get generated?
2. Is it possible to have the .lwi files written to the job folder?
--So that clean up is easier and to save a little bit of time in the cases (like myself) when the RipBot temp folder is on a different drive, such as video on a physical drive and the temp folder on a SSD.

Unfortunatelly lsmash plugin does not have an option to select folder for index file. This annoys me as well...

On the latest version, some jobs after creating chunks, don't start

Thank you for letting me know, and glad I'm not the only one annoyed, LOL

Does the encoding server start and stop?
Or do the chunks get made and the chunk list shows and then nothing happens after that?
Any logs?

I had an issue with starting a job, checking a few chunks but not liking the output so I changed the job, but then the first few chunks weren't over written and the job would finish but then started all over again. It was strange. I manually (right click job > clear) cleared the DE progress and it worked. So, anything like that?

Chunks_cmds

I usually using multiple servers but for testing i started an single instance which led to the same result.

output for this job on remote machine:

The location of the error and its description appear to me like a miscalculation in the x264 encoder; I wonder if the reason may be the OpenCL acceleration processing wrong data, maybe due to task switching... bold guess.

HolyWu introduced a 'cachefile' parameter.

Servers are off. I can start them but nothing happens
Yes
Show log doesn't show anything

Tried that, even removed the job and added it again

I think it Has to be some driver issue. Capeverde is a first generation of gcn (HD 7000 series) with only 1gib of vram.

Can I ask why lsmash is now the default decoder? What is the advantage?

I only ask because preparing the jobs now seems much slower. Cropping takes much longer and it seems to take too long each time I refresh the preview frame (to find a bright coloured frame for cropping accurately). Is this due to lsmash?

lsmash also has better support for interlaced AVC (does not duplicate frame count).

OK. Seems odd as I never had any problems with the previous decoder.

Does this change explain the speed problems I mentioned?
I may have to go back to 1.24 as the new version is much slower now.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Lsmash tries to be more accurate while seeking.

Is there a way to set the aspect ratio separate from the resolution?

[rayers1060]

Hi, is is possible to modify the encoding server to work on a separate network?. specifically I have a few idle pc's that are offsite and would like to utilize them for encoding. We dont want to create a VPN. Is this a request that could be in the future?. RipBot264 works great with the few pc's that we have on the same Lan ??, a few more would definitely help

Have you tried custom setting for resolution?

Yea, but there is no option to set the aspect ratio when doing that.

You can specify aspect ratio in encoding profile. Just add --sar with proper aspect ratio

--sar <width:height|int>      Sample Aspect Ratio, the ratio of width to height of an individual pixel.
                                 Choose from 0=undef, 1=1:1("square"), 2=12:11, 3=10:11, 4=16:11,
                                 5=40:33, 6=24:11, 7=20:11, 8=32:11, 9=80:33, 10=18:11, 11=15:11,
                                 12=64:33, 13=160:99, 14=4:3, 15=3:2, 16=2:1 or custom ratio of <int:int>. Default 0

You can do it with a VPN for sure, but if you don't want a VPN have you tried setting public IP addresses for the servers?
That would seem like a security risk IMO.
