You're like a dog with a bone....VERY particular (which is good) Yes, I realise there are a LOT of scripts, and I doubt that many of them would get used, once the user has "favourite's", then they could quite easily copy the others to another folder, and greatly reduce the drop down list. As for using a different folder, for different type or category's, how would you "call them up" from within RipBot ??? The only way I've known is to have EVERYTHING in the Custom folder, so it is available with the "Custom Script" option "box". If you create a New Folder within the Custom Folder, it does not show up in the Custom Script list !!!! So if you know a way to do that, please let me know, and I will add it !!! Same goes for Advanced & Simplified, how ??? However, I do like your suggestion of using CPU or GPU in the scripts name Anyway, it's a good base for users to start with, and customise to meet their own requirements, and remove the rest. I have downloaded your 2 sample's, and I will have to run them on a PC, but I DID noticed they are a very high bitrate, coming from you (I know they are only tests), but the Blade Runner sample @ CQ18, was around 6700kb/s, and todays were in the low to mid 40mb/s. So keep up the good work, and if you have any suggestions / changes or additions, please let me know.....Upward & Onward Cheers & thanks.

I stumbled across some new/old info about OpenCL support for Intel CPU's that maybe you could suss out (I know I'm going to try again).
Atak posted this on another Forum :- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...19#post1969319 So I downloaded the Intel OpenCL Driver (needs an Intel account,tho). So if you wanted to try a KNLMeansCL script without a GPU, you could mod the script to use device_type="CPU". |

Using CQ also allows me to judge how clean the output is. I had another 4K movie that looked pretty clean and just had some light grain and it came out to be 18GB in size using CQ18 with no degraining. Just adding a little MDegrain2 with a thSAD=100 brought the file size down to 8GB still with CQ18. There really is no downside to using constant quality. Only reason I see to use a hard bit rate is if I'm trying to fit it on a medium that has a finite size limitation. |

I think SMDegrain gives me the all the options I want at this point. The prefilter options and sharpening that actually works instead of adding artifacts like my tests gave me before. I'm very happy with SMDegrain at this point and I'll be creating scripts using it almost exclusively.

Since you can't have subfolders and such, my suggestions would be something like the following:
In the custom scripts, have only about a dozen scripts with generic names, such as: SMDegrain_GPU_Light/Medium/Hard/Very_Hard SMDegrain_CPU_Light/Medium/Hard/Very_Hard Then in your install instructions, provide another folder with the advanced scripts and tell them them where to place them. I would also add the requirements in the script name, such as GPU, CPU, AVX2, etc. Then the install instructions can also have an advanced section and you can lay out what HQD3D (which I think can only do 8-bit color), CQTMGC, BM3D, etc, can do. Maybe even provide a link that has more details such as that link I provided for SMDegrain. In the beginning, all the scripts will overwhelm someone. There is also probably quite a bit of overlap. Such as is using BM3D going to give better results than just SMDegrain, and if so, what are the advantages/disadvantages. |

I know there's a LOT that I personally wouldn't use. I'll have a good look at it, when I get the chance...maybe I'll get a "lightbulb" moment

So, I can't help but notice you're are mainly using the Extra Hard (might have a name change soon), scripts, and only changing the "tr=" value, and maybe the pre-filter #. With the Light, Medium & Hard scripts the "tr=" value is changed, along with a lot of the "th" type values, have you tried any of them for lesser noisy sources ?? Also, I had another good look at the SMDegrain link's info, and it would be interesting to try this script :- Quote:
I think thSCD1 works in conjunction with blksize values. And you could leave thSCD2 out (like you mentioned) I wonder if there's some way to incorporate a 2 pass SMDegrain run, like here (and the post below):- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...68#post1969268 Anyway, regardless to all that, I'm just so happy that you have finally come around to using & preferring SMDegrain, it was one aim of mine, when I started doing all these additions, so thankyou And please, if you come up with some different scripts or filters, don't forget to let me know, either here on the Forum, a PM, or email. PS:- It would be interesting to try these out on the Jetson's, and see what result you get, even though you're happy with how you did them, several months back.

But those super grainy sources always bothered me and I did not like using MDegrain3 because of the blurring I saw in skin textures when there was movement. SMDegrain seems to do really well and the results are natural looking. I have not tested any lighter grainy sources yet, but I feel it will at least do as well as MDegrain2. I probably won't be doing any blurring/sharpening on the lighter sources. I'll start with the tr=2 for lighter degrain and tr=4 probably for medium degrain. Strangely, the tr=2 would be the equivalent of MDegrain2 and tr=8 would be MDegrain8. But the file size difference between tr=2 and tr=8 was dramatic and I saw no blurring issues like when just using MDegrain3. Encoding performance is still good using tr=8. I tried tr=12 trying to solve the issue I mentioned but the slow down was not worth it. I have Superman The Animated Series still up on the server. I have a run with MDegrain2 and using Handbrake with NLMeans animation Tune. I'll run SMDegrain against it as well to see where it ends up and compare the three. Jetsons and Flintstones I'll probably just leave alone as the results from Handbrake are stunning, just the encoding was so slow it was just painful to do. |

Hi, Is there there a guide of some sort for the distributed encoding? i'm trying to figure why it isn't working for me.
Ive got encoding servers open on both PC's and both PC's Ip's entered into the encoding client on the main PC both say online, but when i add a movie to encode and hit start it just says "please wait" and then after a minute or two says "All jobs finished" pop up notification despite nothing actually happening. Ive got both PC's windows firewall disabled to eliminate that as the issue. I have read about some software causing issues which is why i reinstalled windows on one PC and the other received a fresh reinstall about three days ago and only has 6 programs installed since then (Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, SABnzbd, media info, 7zip) Is there a port that needs to be open? ive got no idea why this isnt working |

Record your desktop and upload your video somewhere. This way I will see what you see and help me to identify your issue.

You've listed the programs you've installed, BUT have you got an nVidia GPU, as the drivers (or part there of) can cause a lot of problems. And apparently some Logitech stuff, does to. Maybe you need to go back to your 1st post, and see what replies you got....their might be a "fix" mentioned back then. As long as the other PC(s) have slightly different IP address's, and on the same group, it should work. It's probably something simple, but it's frustrating !!!! If you can't get it to work, do what Atak suggested, and he WILL be able to help, I'm sure. |

both PC's have Nvidia GPU's RTX 3090 and GT 720(9900kf in this PC doesn't have igpu) ive not installed any drivers from Nvidia's website yet so it's only whatever drivers windows uses. No logitech software is installed I posted a Youtube link the a screen recording showing exactly what happens in reply to Atak. |

I have just watched this clip, and unfortunately, it's not really clear enough to see exactly what's going on. (It helped a little when I put my glasses on). You might want to change the UAC settings, so you don't get that popup warning. What happens if you don't use DE, just the single basic encode ??? Are you using the Pauly Dunne build ??? I use that, and don't have any issues... Do you have any other PC's you can connect to ?? |

I was manually opening "encoding client" not knowing it would automatically open when i start an encode which i just discovered when attempting to encode only on a single PC but i didn't turn off distributed encoding in the settings so the encoding client popped up. Thanks for the UAC tip, those are annoying. |
