I've also tried toggling windows defender real time virus protection to make sure that's not an issue. Toggled the firewall off on all of them as well. The two machines it's failing on are both fresh installs so I wonder if there is some dependency I'm missing? I've installed AviSynthPlus-MT-r2728-with-vc_redist.exe which is all I've needed before...

Thanks!

Let me guess you have DUAL xeons running in UMA mode? If yes then It is known issue which I'm currently trying to fix. What happens if you activate NUMA mode in bios?

can you also show me how cpus are detected in Task Manager? Are they grouped or ungrouped like in this example example?

The work around I've been doing is to use MakeMKV to create a video file from the same source and then pull that into Ripbot to process it and it comes out fine. Only caveat seems to be Ripbot throws and error when pulling in a mkv file that has a TrueHD stream in it.
Decoding Error
FFAudioSource: No audio track found
(D:\Temp\Ripbot264temp\Job1023\getinfo.avs, line 4)

So I create two MKVs, one with AC3 which Ripbot pulls in fine and is processed, and the other with TrueHD, that I mux in the TrueHD audio stream after the Ripbot finishes with the first file.
I have the same error when there are over 30 subs in the mkv file, check that

They are actually a single NUMA node, I'm using a single E5-2699V4 CPU in each so everything should be stuck to the single NUMa node. In taskmanager it is detecting all 44 threads. The machine that is working is also on a 2699 without issue.

You said 44 cores so I assumed that you have dual E5-2699V4.

This is free Software. Atak is giving a lot of support for free.

So be patient. Updates come when they come and the only response then should be "Thank you"...

I think it is time to get rid of hqdn3d denoise filter. I really do not like how this filter shifts content of the frame. KNLMeansCL does better job here. Open images in separate tabs and you will see what I mean.

Original frame


MDegrain2 + KNLMeansCL (strength=2)


MDegrain2 + hqdn3d (strength=8)


Another my conclusion is that KNLMeansCL is not very useful as standalone filter.

About "shiftin content": Are you sure this is the same frame? Maybe its a little movement in the picture, since only lower parts of the picture seem to shift, the boots stay where they are... Maybe hgdn3d takes previous and following frames into account and therefore shifts frames in the time-domain - so the shown fram actually is the frame number +1... ?

KNLMeansCL: Whats Default Setting? In Ripbot, default here is "0" which seems to do nothing at all... "2" and above on the other hand shows clear load on the GPU and very visible noise removal in preview.

I'm 100% sure that frame is the same. Here another example
https://i.postimg.cc/7hy2Y9Tq/hqdn8.png

Default settings for KNLMeansCL are d=1, a=2, s=4, h=1.2

The main problem with KNLMeansCL is that it applies blurring blindly to all areas! Take a look at the jacket.

Object Shifting: I was referring to the cartoon screenshots, not the live-movie scene

Default settings in Ripbot for Setting "2" here is: video,d=1, a=2, s=4, h=2 ... ???

live-szene from movie: Blurring: Yes, You are right, it takes away some details on the darker part of the jacket... On the other hand: medegrain changes the contrast ratio of some shadows in the picture. Look at the dark parts of the wood in the background - the contrast is significantly lower in these parts - if you change very quickly between orig/degrain you see it... Do the same with nlmeans/orig - the picture overal is more "original"

Detail retention is MUCH more important than some slight changes in contrast. MDegrain2 is overall much more "intelligent" denoiser than KNLMeansCL. I really do not like when denoising is applied to whole frame regardless of the motion.

PS. Shifting in HQDn3d always occurs regardless of the content. Check yourself if you do not believe me.

From first glance, it might have been that these are two different frames, since the moving of the object is not everywhere in the frames. There are NR Filters out there which work on the temporal domain and therefore rely on previous frames and introduce a time-offset of some frames. So it could have been possible that after segmented encoding HQDN3D misses a frame or adds one, so the video gets "shifted" forth or back about one frame..

This was my assumption - I´ve seen this a lot - thats why I asked about the frames.

Quick tests with HQDN3D showed no object moving here - but that doesn´t prove anything, maybe the source just didn`t lead to this behaviour, others would...

It has nothing to do with "not beleiving" The shift is obvious in your screenshots.

So yes, RipBot is awesome.

I agree with these conclusions
If you're doing older cartoons, have you considered a line sharpening filter and/or a line darking filter?
I use a few depending on the situation.

My bad, I used the wrong nomenclature. That would be 44 threads, not cores. Each system is running a single 22 core cpu (2699V4) with a single numa node for the entire system. I just built a third system today and have the same results, double click the encodingserver.exe file and windows just looks at you funny . I have been able to do some encoding using an old file from late 2017, it seems to work fine with the current ripbot version.

Thanks!

Recommended media player for 4K

Hey guy's,

I would be interested to hear your comments on which media player software you use & recommended for 4K playback on, of course, a 4K monitor.

I have been using VLC for years, but I have come to realise that it doesn't seem to be "up for the job", and even tho there are fix's out there, they don't seem to fix it (stuttery playback).

I also tried PowerDVD, and it seems ok on some files, but not all

So I did a Google, and that revealed a few good players :-

MPC-HC (that Atak uses within Ripbot) (seems to play 4K very well on a non 4K monitor)

MPV (haven't really tested this one, yet)

Potplayer (also seems to play 4K very well on a non 4K monitor)

So I've probably answered my own question, but would be interested what other's use

Cheers
