The order in which you do things is important. THis is what works for me, every time:

1. Choose Automatic cropping. Let it do its thing.

2. Below that, Choose HD Ready, 1280x720.

3. Then, and only then, choose Custom. It should come up with 1280 by whatever is appropriate for the movie with black bars removed and the correct aspect ratio. (from step 1) For instance, 1280 x 540. (the height varies from one movie to another.)

4. Click on Preview to see if your movie's aspect ratio looks right. You'll still see black bars in the preview, but they won't be included in your finished movie.

5. Encode.

Autocrop may not work well for dark movies

Choose that if you want blu-ray compatible video or select Custom with fixed aspect ratio ( for example Custom [2.35:1])

Feature request :

When you finish selecting the audio/video an "add" button near the done one would be nice.

Why ? well if i want to render "normal" then 4-5 resized versions i have to add the video and audio 5 times, this way i can add a lot of jobs with the same video/audio.

What do you think ? can it be done ? would you consider adding it ?

I have a PS3 and used the Blu-Ray output and put it into an AVCHD folder but it wouldn't work unless I manually went through and renamed all the files using 8.3 format.

Is there any option in RipBot to output the files using 8.3 format?
If not, would it be possible to add a checkbox or radio button for this?
i.e. you have the radio buttons for Save As: .MP4, .MKV, BLU-RAY DISC. If BLU-RAY DISC is selected, a checkbox for "AVCHD" or 8.3 filenames is enabled
OR could a 4th Radio Button "AVCHD" be added which means do the same thing as BLU-RAY DISC, but add the AVCHD folder and use 8.3 filenames?

Question: I used RipBot264 to encode a standard def (TV Show) DVD video to Blu-Ray DISC (MT2S)
If I played the MT2S file on my PS3 it played in High Def (1080i) with pillar boxes (just like the DVD would upscaled)
If I played the Blu-Ray DISC Image using AVCHD, my PS3 played the video in Standard Def (480i/p) Full Screen.

Why would it play the same file (MT2S) differently? Is there a way to specify in the BLU-RAY DISC image that I want it to play upscaled?

Is there a decombing filter (similar to Handbrake) in RipBot?

Thanks for the candid response

There are couple of issues here... First is, if I choose automatic crop + 720p and hit on preview, it shows black bars. I'm not sure if it means that preview isn't working right, or auto crop didn't crop right. If I switch to manual hit preview, and then switch back to automatic and hit preview, now it shows fine.

The other issue is, if I set manual first and then 720, and then try to adjust the top, bottom crop numbers, the size setting resets to "do not resize".

Even if I adjust manually all numbers, and at then choose 720, adjusting manually is bit painful because media player classic always shows black bars, so one has to resize the window's height to see if the black bars disappear or not.

Like Mary H mentioned, the order matters, so I also had the issue of selecting 720 first and then automatic crop, and that also resets the size.

Also another thing is that it'd be really nice if cropping were set always to "automatic" by default. I did a couple of encodes a few weeks ago and later realized that they weren't cropped and it was pretty painful

The reason I'm outlining these is because I'm coming from Handbrake for Mac, where none of the issues above are present. Order doesn't matter, adjusting crop values doesn't reset the size, and automatic crop works fine pretty much all the time. Auto crop is on by default. Manual cropping in handbrake is easier because it's real-time, the preview window shows changes immediately as you increase/decrease pixels.

I was liking ripbot264 a lot but these issues are forcing me back to handbrake . It would be realllyyyy nice if these issues could be addressed, it'd make the experience much more transparent, especially for those of us that don't know all the quirks and stuff.

@atak...

small feature request. when selecting subtitles...it seems like I can only select .srt files and not .sup files directly, but your program converts the .srt files to a sup file. Can you add the feature of selecting a .sup file directly? I'd like to be able to select my resized .sup files (using the great program BDSup2Sub to resize from 1080 to 720 without having to ocr.) That way I can figure out what bitrate to use. If I use an ocr'd .srt to base my bitrate off...and then not use the srt file when muxing, I seem to have a lot of free space now. That's the reasoning I would like to be able to select the .sup file. Thanks.

Hmmm, I have never had any trouble selecting a .sup file. Indeed I just did one where I selected both a sup and an srt.

DOH!!!

You're right. I checked before I posted but here's what happened.

I knew version 1.12 didn't do it...so I downloaded newest (1.13.something) and checked. Problem was I didn't have any bluray content on my laptop's hard drive and I was just about to go to sleep, so I didn't want to turn on my desktop. I had a family guy episode on my laptop so I selected that, and selected bluray as output. I tried to select subtitles but ripbot gave me an error that the video was not in the correct resolution for bluray. So I had to change the output to mkv. Then I was able to select subtitles but apparently when its in mkv output you cannot select .sup files. Anyways...ignore my previous feature request..thanks atak for your great program.

This would save a load of time.

I second the request.

Atak,

I just recently tried to convert to .bluray, and it worked -- I guess -- but when I mounted it with PowerISO and played it back with WinDVD9, the video was stretched back to 16:9. When I tried to play it on my PS3, I got audio but no video. When I play just the .m2ts file with Windows Media Player, everything is perfect with the correct 2.40 aspect ratio. Any thoughts?

My first guess is that I should not have cropped the video. I am wondering if that screwed something up? Other than that, everything else is default: Profile is the [High 4.0] HD . Bluray . Consoles profile; audio is 2 channel AC3 192kbps; and target size is 4480MB. Please help!

Edit: I am pretty sure that was the problem. I will post my results after re-encoding WITHOUT cropping *sigh*

hi Atak!
thx for your cool program, it work great!

I'd like to ask you just one thing:

- is possible, when you start the encoding, to add a "Pause/Resume" Button?

it'd be really cool, so if someone have to do something then need more power can "pause" the
work and then "resum" it!

do you think its possible?
thx again!
