x265: [error]: unable to open input file <->
(this is just an example, its the same for other jobs/chunks)
Also, running this command from the command line produces the same result. (I couldn't copy paste the error, so i typed it in here, please attribute any typo to my fingers :-) )

after i updated my main ripbot with the latest update and started new batches.

This happens on all files, while encoding to 265 mkvs.

I have tried updating all the servers also to latest version, same result (initally had only the main one updated to absolute last version)
I managed to get my DE servers to work again by mounting a share on each of them so that the path that is set on the avs file is the same locally for each of them.

Basically, in the avs file, on each DE server,
FFVideoSource: Failed to open 'Y:\filename.mkv' (\\PCNAME\RipBot264temp\job4\Chunks\6.avs, line 7)
the "Y:" is wrong, it should be \\PCNAME\(...)". The path that is set in the avs file is only valid in the machine running ripbot.

My fix was making that path also valid on each DE server by sharing and mapping the share so that it matches.

This only happens since the last version, this was working fine previously, but the problem is definitly that.

I still have the problem with a hanging task of RipBot, so no shutdown is possible. Any solution there?

Thank you very much! This solution helped in my case, too. It's the Logitech_discord.exe process, installed by Logitech Gaming Software, that caused hanging of RipBot.

Did we fix the start-stop problem of the servers?

https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/...g-in-Handbrake

Atak, I never knew of this issue with VC-1. Reading the thread says using the MS decoder solves the problem. Is it possible to implement a solution that solves the decoder problems for all VC-1 sources. Looks like ffmpeg might have just fixed this bug very recently as well.
Atak, it looks like the current version of ffmpeg that is included can handle the VC-1 encoding. I ran this:
"C:\Program Files\RipBot264\Tools\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe" -i video.mkv -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -crf 0 output_x264_ultrafast_lossless.mkv

and the file did not show any artifacts. Huge file size though:
Original: 9.07GB
Lossless: 45.16GB

Would it be possible to add an option to add another step to the demuxing process to transcode VC-1 sources to x264 lossless? With any VC-1 source I have to do this extra step now. Thanks much.

ffmpeg fixed the problems in April 2018. And since 1.2.0 HandBrake is ffmpeg based so if you tested it in January and had problems you were probably still on an old version.

I'm not sure what exactly RipBot did in your case (I see no log) but I assume the problem is probably with either ffms2 or l-smash plugins still being based on the old ffmpeg version.

On the latest version 1.24.0 with the latest updates. So most likely ffms2 is still based on the old ffmpeg version. Good to know once that is updated I won't need to do lossless transcoding any longer for VC-1 sources.

I can confirm that I'm seeing the same behavior on the latest version making distributed encoding not possible. Swapped back to the version from end of 2018, and everything works fine. Hopefully this gets seen/addressed as the distributed encoding is the most enticing feature of RipBot264 for me.

I see the same problem in my DE-environment, too.

Is latest ffms2 frame accurate?

Ps. VC1 has been always pain in the ass... I just hope that stupid codec will just die!

Encoding vp9

Hello, ive been using ripbot since 2012, i just want to ask to its developer, atak, are You planning to support encoding using vp9 in the near future of this great app? As we know vp9 comparable to x265 which ripbot already support for it long time ago, but x265 is not compatible with html5 video streaming, vp9 is, so i ask this question

Most likely h.266/VVC or AV1. VP9 will die soon.

I don't know if it is frame accurate or not. Just responding to sneaker_ger.

I have two VC-1 sources (Bladerunner and Terminator 2) that I'm waiting to encode so I can do tests on those. I'll download the latest ffms2 2.23.1 and let you know.

AtaK: Do I need 32bit or 64bit? I thought you moved to 64 bit a couple of years ago.

so x265 will die soon also? today is streaming age, encoding x265 with powerful DE in this app is a little less benefit if it cant be streamed online. Or are u planning to support encoding AV1 in the near future?

VP9 will simply be replaced by AV1 in the same way how Vorbis was replaced by OPUS. Problem with AV1 today is that implementation is extremely sloooow and quality difference (vs x265) is also not amazing.

Perhaps the only way to solve this is to to do the intermediate step of converting VC-1 to h.264 lossless. Then you get get rid of all the workarounds for handling VC-1.

That intermediate step would only kill any time savings in DE mode... In that case I would just use regular mode on the fastest machine in the house.

This looks like the latest version. Check and let me know how it went
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...11#post1866411

Just copy ffms2.dll and ffmsindex.exe to ..\Tools\AviSynth plugins\ffms\x64 folder


...and start with fresh job because index file may not be compatible with older version.


UPDATE: Latest version is still broken because it sees all frames as keyframes. However My initial test shows that encoded VC1 file is seamless (no frame corruption or skipped frames where old chunks ends and new one starts)
Code:
# keyframe format v1
fps 0
0
1
2
3
4
