Completely understandable. Hopefully someone else who uses the tools also uses RipBot264 and knows how to get around the issues I mentioned previously.

Indeed it would. I try to make files that play on all my apple stuff, and having aac and ac3 would make it perfect.

The last couple of times I tried using RipBot, I ran into a problem. (It's been a while since I used it, forgive me if I'm vague)...after the menu where you choose the video and the audio, and all that, and RipBot starts analyzing, a message pops up and says something about there being no audio. The first time this happened, I restarted my computer and ran RipBot again and I didn't get the error. The last time I ran into this problem, I tried restarting, but the problem persisted each time. The movie was Eagle Eye.

Also, I have done 3 successful rips...Hellboy 2 converted to 1280 x 720 went from 26gb from the original file down to 4.8gb. Open Season 2 converted to 1280 x 720 went from 21gb from the original down to 2.xgb. Both took between 8 ~ 10hrs. However, The Italian Job took about 24 hrs. and went from around 20-something gb down to only 18gb. Why was this movie different? Is it because The Italian Job was an MPEG-2 bluray?

Some movies have more static scenes (less data to compress=smaller size) than others.

Hello, Atak

(my first post) I've been using ripbot264 for a few weeks now. It's easy to use and simplifies the many tasks I used to do manually with avisynth, eac3to, tsmuxer, etc.

While ripping/demuxing BD titles with and without your tool, I've had several instances of A/V sync loss and/or unknown delay values. How do you go about finding the audio delay value, other than trial and error? Sometime MediaInfo will report a delay value, other times it will not. Often the reported delay value is wrong. Sometimes I think I've found the right value, and after the process is done, the sync if off again. Sometimes ripbot's analysis via eac3to will report the file being 60000/1001 while MediaInfo says it's 29.970. Which one is right? I have many, many questions, but that's enough for now. Thank you.

@Atak

Have you thought about adding BDSup2Sub to RipBot264 package? This would be great addition if it can be done...

Thanks

This may or may not be a Ripbot issue, but thought I would post incase anyone has some insight. My desktop PC is Vista x32 w/Quad Core CPU. I have been using Ripbot for quite some time now to convert my Blu Ray/HD DVDs into 8GB mkvs. My settings are Profile 4.0, 2Pass, 8150MB Size Lock, and original audio. This has always taken me approx 10-12 hours to do a conversion (about 2 hours on the 1st pass and 8-10 hours on the 2nd pass) and the mkvs have always been flawless (hats off to atak).

I just recently did a clean reinstall of Vista x32 on my PC. I reinstalled the latest version of ffdshow tryouts, avisynth, and Haali. Using the same settings as before on Ripbot for a Blu Ray movie, it took me about twice as long to do (about 4 hours on 1st pass and nearly 20 hours on 2nd pass). Once the mkv was complete, I tested out the movie. There is now a green line along the entire bottom of the movie. Also, the picture looks all messed up, where there is a reflection of everything.

A couple other weird things are now happening. Now, none of my mkvs play properly in MPC-HC or WMP, they are either pixelated or out of sync. Yet when I play the same mkvs in Vista Media Center or SageTV that look and play perfect. Any clue what is going on, Ripbot is obviously telling me something is wrong...

I'd like to "third" the enhancement request put forward by Blobbyblob and Mary H...
Quote:
A small request please .. could you make the chatacters on the bottom that show the progress of the encode a different colour. I find that with my old eyes a little more contrast helps a lot.
With the white-on-light blue, I've found myself having to move my head around the monitor to get the right angle on the LCD screen to see the progress indicator. Adjusting the text to a darker blue, perhaps slate color would probably keep within the color schemes of the program while affording better readability.

Otherwise, Ripbot is working great so far!

Why do you need this? Besides BDSup2Sub requires Java installed

Correct me if I'm wrong but I suspect that your source is VC-1. Try to disable or enable VC-1 decoding in FFDshow. It looks like decoder problem. It would be easier if you could send me 50MB sample. Use DGSplit and www.mediafire.com

Do you have internal decoders enabled in MPC-HC or disabled? (I prefer decoding via FFDshow+Haali instead of internal filters)

Ok. I will use dark grey/blue next time. However I have two a questions. is Your monitor gloss or mat? Do you use DVI or VGA cable?
I have no problems to read white letters on blue background. I have mat LCD connected via DVI cable.

Yes, the movie is VC-1. When I installed FFDShow when it asks for the video formats to decode with ffdshow I unchecked H.264/AVC and VC-1. I then registered MPC Video Decoder so I could get hardware acceleration when watching my movies in VMC/SageTV.

I am at work right now, I might be able to remote in to my server so I can get you over a sample of the mkv. If not I will send it over later today. Thanks atak.

Unregister MPC Video Decoder and enable software decoders in ffdshow

Atak - thanks for the consideration on the font colors!

I use a matte LCD attached via DVI as well. With the correct angle, I can see the text OK... however if there is any hint of glare (which is diffuse due to the matte screen), or if the LCD isn't at the 100% perfect angle to my eyes, the text becomes a challenging to read. The light background blue (and the underlying texture) conspire to make it tough to read sometimes.

Again, thanks.
-Greg

i don't think it has anything to do with ffdshow because the same version works with ripbot 1.11.5.



Maybe something to do with avs2yuv.exe?

thanks
if it does i don't have a solution ,but for me i had to stop using the 64bit version of x264

Yeah, that is similar to what my picture looks like, but I am running x32, not x64

Something similar is also happening to me with the film The Dark Knight I get the following error

Code:
Script error: DirectShowSource does not have a named argument "audio"
(C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2)
I'm running Ripbot on vista 64 bit but I don't know if that makes any difference? I'm also in the process of ripping the film to my hard drive an then using Ripbot to see if that works and next I will try a different film

PS: Is there a log file anywhere?

Thanks In Advance!

1) Uninstall AviSynth
2) Reboot
3) Install AviSynth 2.5.8 (http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ease_id=650255)
