RipBot264 v1.18.3 - Simple and easy to use GUI -> IPOD . PSP . CONSOLES . BLURAY

[Atak_Snajpera]

So you don't think I should try 2-Pass mode then set the kbps to something higher like 6144? Is it best to just stick with Constant Quality?

If you like waste time and space use 2-pass. Your choice.

People behind x264 encoder do a excellent work. BTW. I'm just a gui maker.

OK, I'll stick with CQ from now on. Thanks for the advice Atak, much appreciated.

I'm trying to re-encode my Fiance's Celine Dion BluRay but it keeps failing after demuxing has finished. I even tried using an external program to split the Audio and Video but I get the following error when loading the Video mkv in RipBot

"Can't open "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job6\getinfo.avs"

Here is the gentinfo.avs log

DirectShowSource("F:\Celine\1_2_video.mkv",audio=false).ConvertToYV12()
WriteFile("C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job6\info.txt","Framecount")
WriteFile("C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job6\info.txt","Framerate")

WriteFile("C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job6\info.txt","Width")
WriteFile("C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job6\info.txt","Height ")
Trim(0,-1)

Any Ideas?

Thanks

reinstall ffdshow, haali, avisynth.
config ffdshow video decoder as such:

Just tried your suggestion and removed job 6 from my queue. I restarted and tried again but get the same error. This happens on all my 1080i concert Blu-rays for some reason. The other one is Justin Timberlake, also at 1080i.

Weird?

if your video is truly demuxed it's not going to be in an mkv container. your software has just remuxed it into an mkv file. if it's vc-1 it'll have to stay in mkv for ripbot. if it's h.264 ripbot can accept the raw stream though (which would be a .264 file, not an mkv).


nburgess:
the latest version of x264 made some changes / updates so when processing something at CQ20 or such you'll end up with lower bitrate files than you would've with the previous version

Thanks, will give that a try

alright, first of all thanks for this excellent program.
Basically I have two questions that would make things even better to me

1. How to change to location of the 'Temp' folder?
I guess it can be done in 'RipBot264.ini', but I'm scared to use it and don't really how to.

2. Is it possible for RipBot264 to automatically set the audio profile bitrate to the source bitrate?
By default I have 128kb/s, so currently I have to check manually each the bitrate of the source file because I wouldn't want to transcode an audio stream into a higher bitrate, which is non-sens (.ie 96kbs (original) > 128kbs (output). So I cannot use queueing option because I do this verification all the time, but if it adapts it would be perferct.

Find a guide called "How to use notepad"

[ErsatZ]

Ok.
And for question 2. ?

[consultant]

I tried encoding a couple movies with TrueHD audio using the FLAC option and even though Ripbot seems to do the conversion there's no audio. I tried using EAC3To to Demux my MKV and convert the audio and then just play the FLAC file using VLC Media Player but it won't play the FLAC file. So I'm guessing EAC3To can't turn TrueHD into FLAC?

So are you saying ONE pass constant quality is better then 2 pass? I was always under the impression a 2 pass was the best way to get quality.... will one pass constant give me the same results? If so then why have a 2 pass option?... what are the advantages of doing a 2 pass VBR rather then a 1 pass CBR

[pacaveli211]

Sephiroth0000 - you missed the important points. neither 2pass nor CQ are necessarily better. 2pass is essential for hitting a target size, CQ is for hitting a target quality which results in an unpredictable size
he was making the point that you could use 2pass to hit a higher bitrate but would be wasting space (as the higher bitrate wasn't necessary per the CQ processing) and wasting time (as 2pass will take longer than CQ)

consultant: Eac3To should be able to transcode to flac just fine, possibly you have a codec / player / etc issue

[nurbs]

@Sephiroth0000:
Both have some benefits and drawbacks. Dark Shikari listed them here. Basically you need to use --slow-firstpass to get all the benefits and even then you don't completely eliminate the drawbacks.

I see your point. How I have used it in the past is I overlaid the subtitles before using Ripbot to re size the video. So could you overlay the subtitle first, like a 1st pass. Then recode the entire video like normal? Sorry, I keep bringing this up, but it makes subtitles look very nice.

With 'StoreTempFilesin=', you can only select a partition (c, d..) but not a specific folder right?

[tulip001]

Hi,

is the audio bitrate i can select per channel, or the sum of all channels?

eg. 2.0 @ 128kb = 2x 64kbit?
or 5.1 @ 320 = 5x 64kbit? (why 5x? 5.1 has 6 channels!)
or 5.1 @ 192 = 6x 32kbit?

correct

It is the sum.

[rmd3003]

I have a quick question about Ripbot temp storage. When Ripbot starts "Demuxing... please wait" it writes somewhere and it looks like it ignores wht's in ripbot.ini and writes to C drive which is SSD in my case and i don't want to use it.

Is there any way to force to use another drive?

Beloww is my INI file:

[settings]
// TEMP=uses System temp ; AUTO = selects the biggest partition ; C , D ... uses specific partition
StoreTempFilesin=E
KeepJobsQueue=1
---------------------
DefaultProfile=[HIGH 4.0] HD . BluRay . Consoles
DefaultEncodingMode=CQ
DefaultModeValue=22
---------------------
//Directory must exists!!! D:\movies\ is correct but D:\movies is incorrect!
DefaultOutputPath=G:\movies\
---------------------
// allowed values are mp4, mkv or bluray
DefaultContainer=mkv
---------------------
// in GiB (1GiB=1024 MiB) , 0 = no splitting
SplitM2TS=0
---------------------
FastFirstPassin2passMode=1
---------------------
//AnyDVD DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-Ray decryptor will be automatically activated with RipBot264
ExecuteAnyDVD=0
---------------------
x264LowPriority=0
---------------------
// it will use 64bit version of x264 on 64bit Windows. up to 10% faster encoding speed.
Usex264x64=1

It would be nice to have an option to remove jobs / temporary files as the jobs are finished. The "Keep Jobs Queue" option, when unchecked, currently removes all the jobs in the queue, whether they're finished or not, upon program exit.

sounds like a good ini option to have since not everyone would want a forced change. +1

just remember: if you automatically delete the temp files and your conversion comes out with any glitches, you wont be able to simply start another conversion with 1 click, youd have to start from scratch. happened to me once, so now i always check my mkvs before deleting the temp files.
