Send me sample.

1) Download DGsplit
2) Open .m2ts in DGsplit
3) enter these values and click split

4) send file to www.mediafire.com

@J33pman
1) select x: All subtitles
2) Now you have two choices
...a) If you want render subtitles into picture go to properties -> permanent subtitles -> select subtitles with 'FORCED' label
...b) if you want to leave ability to switch ON/OFF forced subtitles then go to selectable subtitles section

BTW make sure you don't use mp4 container if you want option b!

Can't Read LPCM from Ripped MKV

If a BD has PCM audio, I transcode to FLAC. To save time, I just started using MakeMKV to rip to an MKV file for later transcoding (while I'm transcoding something else). But I've discovered that RipBot doesn't recognize the raw PCM in the MKV (nor can VLC Media Player play it). I tried to demux the MKV and convert the PCM to FLAC but tsMuxer doesn't recognize the raw PCM either. This is quite odd to me since if you rip directly from the disc using AnyDVD HD, RipBot will transcode to FLAC for you.

So I'm curious why RipBot can recognize the PCM track if you choose the disc, instead of a ripped MKV file with the PCM track?

@Atak,

In your opinion as author of RipBot264 (forgive me if you've been asked this question many time before!), what would you recommend if encoding to mkv for play back on an htpc (disk space not so much of issue)... CQ or 2 pass?

If CQ, what setting for BD? 18 or lower, maybe 16? What about DVD?

Many thanks

Well MKVMerge crashes when I try to remux it into a 50M file. Any other suggestions?

When I run this an error shows saying "Failed to get data for 'isWhitelist'.

I've reinstalled matroska splitter, ffdshow and avisynth. The first time I saw this error was with the 1.15.0 version. Version 1.14.0 has worked fine before but it also shows the error when run 1.14.0 now.

After clicking Okay on the error the RipBot window opens. I can't add any videos because it get's stuck at the "Please Wait... Gathering information..." stage. It just sits there while the RipBot process uses no CPU.

Well here's to hoping Atak changes his mind i guess.
They will be 1:1 . You know for the longest time I thought this was bs until I researched this myself and converted a few 5.1/7.1 TrueHD/DTS-MA tracks to FLAC and did a comparison on my AVR. I was blown away. You cannot tell the difference. They're all lossless so aside from seeing the pretty TrueHD or DTS-HD LED light-up on your AVR you're not missing anything. Besides with FLAC you can also output over multichannel analog which also rocks the house.

Hey Atak,

Would you recommend using Ripbot for DVD backups? Reason why I am asking is that I did a DVD backup (regular dvd) and it came out at 6GBs when a movie in 720 is typically only 4 - 5 (depending on audio). I am ripping them for my media server to stream to my tv, I could careless about extras etc so its only the main movie I am interested in. If I am doing something wrong what should the settings be for a regular dvd?

Thanks for your help.

May be you re-authored the DVD into DVD9 which usually have higher bitrates and are around 5000 kbits and more. Those video with 4-5GB are DVD5 and bitrates is less than 5000 kbits. So try lowering down the bitrates to about 4700 kbits if you see the option.

What format are you looking for the output? RipBot264 outputs only MKV, MP4 and AVCHD. If non of these containers are the one you want to use for the streaming video then RipBot264 is not your choice.

it depends on how you want to do it. for district 9 I hardcoded the forced subs into the video. you can find the option to do that in the video properties (same place you go to crop / resize). if you don't want them hardcoded you just set them as selectable subtitles using the option right above your output path

Ok, I finally got my problem solved again. Some how I get bad audio nonsync problem on 1.15.0 and 1.14.6. I haven't try 1.14.5 but I got the SAME file converted without audio issues on 1.14.4. Does anyone notice it? This happens when I try to convert AVI files to MP4 for PSP/iPod Touch playbacks.

EDIT: I am no programmer but I notice some differences between 1.14.4 and 1.15.0. I can't use 1.15.0 profiles into 1.14.0. Somehow the process is skipped and I think that's because 1.14.4 doesn't have the function for weighten p-prediction feature which is require to TURN on in 1.15.0 so that the output mp4 file can be played on both PSP and iPods. At least that's why I've noticed.

Is it a good thing to just change the x264.exe files in "tools" if I want to use latest x264 builds from x264.nl? I have downloaded the 32bit and 64bit versions from x264.nl and renamed them to x264_x86.exe and x264_x64.exe. I would like to hear your suggestion. I used to do this with other GUIs and some crashed but some worked.

XVID is used. Btw let me try 1 last thing to see if 1.15.0 is not working good on my system.

x264_x86.exe and system resources

How come this process x264_x86.exe uses 659,680K of my resources. It bogs down my PC so bad I can't multitask hardly. I have a Dell XPS 400 with a Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor of 2.80 GhZ. I have 3 GB or ram, and 2 1 TB HDD. This program consumes so much of my resources I can't burn other stuff, or multitask. I am running Windows 7. It takes me roughly 24 hours to convert a MKV file to a AVCHD. I also am running a 32 bit system, but my mobo is capable of doing 64 Bit. So what are my options here? Why should this progam consume more resources than anything else I have running in tsk mgr?

@Atak

Here's the 50MB sample you requested. I was wondering why DGSplit was taking so long, then find out instead of just split the first 50MB it split the entire file into 50MB chunks. Here's the first chunk.

Go in to the RipBot264vX.XX.X folder. (X'es are the version numbers). Then open RipBot264.ini with notepad. Then find and change below line from:
Code:
x264LowPriority=0
to
Code:
x264LowPriority=1
I think that'll set the encoding to lower priority making it to use less resource and save more for other tasks you want to do.
