Pick better frames for manual cropping

Please implement the ability for RB to only choose sample frames that don't have video info that's too dark, in proximity to the crop line, when "new frame" is used in page 1 of the "AviSynth Filters" section.

is there nothing ripbot can do to detect this (staxrip on the same films does not have this issue?)

but i like ripbot because it's far simpler and much more reliable (stax is less reliable and also the hdr to sdr in ripbot is very good)

truth is, the interface in ripbot reminds me of "autogk"...good times

edit

so i found a movie that i have ripped twice now, ripbot always gets a audio sync with it as time goes on in the video

its "wreck-it Ralph"

at the beginning it's okay, by the time in the end it's about 3-5 seconds off.

i ripped disk with makemkv then tried dvdfab

same results

is there something on these types of movies that ripbot is not detecting?

it compressed fine with stax and handbrake

but the quality of handbrake on movies is really subpar, and staxrip doesn't do easy out of the box hdr to sdr without getting into user intervention with parameters.

in ripbot i always use batch processing

Is numer of frames the same in video encoded by ripbot and staxrip/handbreak?
Two possibile scenarios:
1) some frames are being dropped during encoding
2) slightly wrong framerate in encoded file

I would like to suggest the following "test"...

Demux the original "ripped" file to separate the audio & video tracks, THEN do the same to the file you've encoded with RB, then using MKVToolNix, import the RB encoded video file, and the original ripped audio file, and remux then back together, and see if it's still out of sync.

As mentioned in the previous post, it's something to do with frames or framerates.

Maybe you could try a different process of ripping the disc, maybe MakeMKV is the problem.

anyone having problem previewing MP4 because of LSMASHSource.dll?
64bit issue when it's 32bit version, and 32bit issue when I switch to 64bit version....
Code:
Cannot load a 32(64) bit DLL in 64(32) bit Avisynth
Also, how do I fix some out of sync issue with convertfps now? since it's now LWLibavVideoSource instead of DirectShowSource


Thank you.

Thank you.
If you want to try a different decoder, do this, and see if it fixes your issue:-

overwrite this field in RipBot264.ini if you want to use FFMS2 instead of L-Smash

Code:
[DefaultVideoDecoder]
MPEG-2=FFMS2
VC-1=FFMS2
AVC=FFMS2
HEVC=FFMS2
OTHER=FFMS2

Just installed the new version and could not get the distributed encoding to work. The encoding clients are open on the other computers, however Ripbot perpetually says "connecting" and just hangs there. I should also note that one of the encoding servers is the computer itself with Ripbot and it will not encode either.

What new version ???, latest is v1.26.1

If you're running an nVidia GPU, the issue is more than likely the driver software.

Check this post for what to do to fix the problem:-

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...21#post1955821

And maybe read the posts just before & after.

I don't think you got a reply.

You might be better off converting your audio "outside" of Ripbot, and muxing it back in later, just let RipBot encoding the video track(s).

Thanks, I'll give it a read. I don't know if this will be the issue or not. I seem to have this exact same issue every time I update and I can't remember how I would fix it. Could it really be a GPU issue on ALL of my computers?

So when you say every time you update, do you mean updating RipBot, or your graphics drivers ??

There hasn't been any significant RipBot updates for months & months !!!

Depends how you have the other computers setup ??

Do you use them separately, or as Distributed Encoding servers ??

Do you use nVidia video cards ??

Every time I update Ripbot. I have never had an issue with my graphics driver before. Yes, I do have Nvidia control panel, but I always do a "clean" install of drivers. I stopped doing Ripbot updates for quite some time because it was working and I didn't want to go through this issue again. Well, low and behold, I had some issues arrive trying to preview script when adding subtitles. I would only get audio and no video. SO I did an update and it did fix the issue. Now I have to figure out my distributed encoding issue again and I can't remember how I did it before.

I'm still not sure where you are getting the RipBot updates from !!!

Is there a way to allow the idle servers to just move on to the next job in the queue and start their business, while the slow servers at the end of a job just finish what they're doing? If not there's a potential huge waste of idle server time toward the end of each job. See attached screenshot for example.

Cheers
Dhry
Try setting the order of the servers from faster to the slower in DE window
Might be a little better

Hi gabbett1,

I have to let you know that that is NOT how you get RipBot updates !!!

That is the 1st page of this forum, and that version / build of RipBot is very old !!

The ONLY way you can get updates is thru the program itself, when you have Auto Updates enabled, and you're connected to the "net".

The program search's for updates every time it is started.

The latest version is 1.26.1, dated 27/09/21 15:19.

There was only one significant addition with that version, and that's nearly 3 months ago.

How do you convert lossless AVI files to lossless MP4 files?

The MP4 container can only contain specific video formats. One could be lossless MPEG-4 AVC video. So you could use x264 --qp 0 ... but RipBot264 may not be the optimal user interface to do that.

You can't convert something and be lossless again
