Is there anywhere a longer readme or a explanation what all the blinking red, green, blue, yellow lights mean?
The different "light's" is the CPU priority, low, normal, etc.

There is mention of it on this forum, somewhere, but that's basically it.

Crop or not crop for hdr10/hdr10+...

Hello,

Thank you very much for your job Atak!

You allow in your crop application videos when they are hdr10 / hdr10 +. But I have read on various forums that it is not recommended, as this can distort HDR10 / HDR10 + metadata...

What do you think?

Secondly, does RipBot264 support hdr10+ videos one day? you could use the "hdr10plus_parser" tool for this, but it is still buggy... ([URL="https://github.com/quietvoid/hdr10plus_parser/releases"/URL])
This allows HDR10+ metadata to be extracted in json format to be incorporated into the x265 encoding parameters.

Join Multiple MKV with HDR10...

I have another question: I cut an mkv hdr 10 with mkvtoolnix and I encoded the pieces separately. The parts are all hdr10. is it possible to join all these files while keeping the correct hdr10 metadata? I know the metadata is in the SEI zones but it's still a little confusing for me ...
Thanks.

I think the question here is, why are you "cutting up" the file, only to join it all back together ???

Have you tried to join them using what you cut them with ??

I've had a couple of encodes hang after it finished encoding (once today, once some months back). The encoding server had appeared to have closed, but Ripbot was just saying please wait. When looking in task manager it was still showing the encoding server, so I killed the process and then Ripbot went on to mux the chunks and completed successfully.

No idea what's causing this but others may find the above useful if it happens to them.

"I think the question here is, why are you "cutting up" the file, only to join it all back together ???"

So in fact I cut because on my pc (i7 7700k) it takes a long time to encode and I prefer to encode piece by piece to avoid losing everything in case of crash of the pc (power cut etc ...).
Hence my question: is there no problem with pasting HDR10 / HDR10 + files? I mean with respect to HDR10 / HDR10 + metadata?

Why not just use distributed encoding mode??? Why do you have to cut file manually?

OMG, jojo....you should do yourself a HUGE favour, and figure out how to use distributed encoding (DE), not only does it speed the process up substantially, but there is a (let's call it) a resume type function....98 out of 100 times, if the encode is interrupted, or aborted, when you restart the encode it will start from almost where it was "interrupted", meaning that all the completed chunks will still be there (it doesn't save / remember where it was up to with partially processed chunks, but thats acceptable).

You don't need other pc to use DE, but of course the more, the merrier.

But the process of splitting a movie is making SO much more work for you, and brings you to the dilemma you posted about.

Wow..OK, so how long have you been using (trying to) RipBot ??

Do you have any other pc's, or a network ??

Do you know how to enable Distributed Encoding ??

You have to set up certain basic IP address's etc,

Can you post a couple of screenshots of your Ripbot windows, especially the Distributed Encoding tab, opened (but don't post any pictures directly here, they won't be "cleared" for quite some time).

Have you had a look around page 1 of this forum ??

Watch this video:- https://youtu.be/b-BICnj62iE it's a bit dated, but that's about all you can get.

I'm currently buying some parts to upgrade my encoding PC and I need a little advice. I've never used a dedicated graphics card before as I never play any games so I just use the integrated graphics.
My new CPU does not have integrated graphics so I need to buy a GPU. Noise levels are very important to me so I was planning to buy a GT 1030 2GB passive GPU.
My question is this:
Will this card be sufficient to benefit from GPU decoding in RipBot? Should I be looking at a more powerful card or is this one sufficient?

I would appreciate any advice. Cheers.
