I have a concern about the distributed encoding feature.
I see it's done by splitting the video encode into small parts (trim in avs) and those get distributed between the computers. I can see how that works ok for CRF encodes (though it might mess up GOPs), but with 2-pass, doesn't it diminishes the purpose of 1st pass? The video is split into ~10mins segments (maybe more with more pcs, I tried with only 2)with each getting it's own stats file, which means the video is not analyzed as a whole, and thus bitrate distribution is flawed for 2nd pass. Unless I'm missing/misunderstanding something, that's pretty much as effective as 1-pass ABR. Last edited by mini-moose; 20th June 2015 at 13:27. |

SUCCESS!!! That actually did it!!! I had not checked the network cables yet as I wanted to try this last suggestion. Man these are beautiful numbers again!! I did as you recommended on all four(4) computers... It is still encoding and no crashes. Will let you know when it finishes, but so far it is great!!! |

Why not just switch to 1-pass ABR?, it would still be size sensitive and would save doing the first pass. |

if user selects 2pass mode in gui then app should accept that. 2pass has more information about complexity of next frames than blind abr. Besides abr is less accurate when you aim for specific size.
Personally I stoped using 2pass mode because I do not store my movies on optical discs anymore. My poor dvdrw has been collecting dust for few years.

Just a followup message. The encoding went perfectly. No issues. Not sure what was the reason for this but definitely using the x264 folder from version 1.18.1 was the solution. Thank you for your patience and advice in fixing this issue. On another note have you ever given any thought to using the GPU along with the CPU or in lieu of the CPU? Are GPU's better than CPU's? I have seen some programs using them. In either case, thank you again for your help. You have a awesome program for ripping and re-encoding movies. |

Could you please clarify the use of 2 audio channels.
I get problems when encoding an avs. I usually did the following: 1. Add New job and select an avs file. 2. Ripbot displays "gathering information" and then fills in video and audio. 3. In audio only "1" is green. 4. Start encoding 5. Encoding is done, but in the multiplex phase a second audio file "Encoded_Audio_1.aac" is referenced which doesn't exist, and multiplex fails. When clicking on "2" in audio I notice that there is also a reference to avs file, but no profile is filled in. How can I get rid of this reference to second audio file? I just realised that after selecting a dummy file for the second audio file, I get the option "No Audio" in dropdown box for audio. So this is a bug. This dropdown box should offer "No Audio" immediatly. Last edited by george84; 22nd June 2015 at 19:59. Reason: Update |

Yes It looks like a bug. I will investigate this case tomorrow.

Yes, but I can only set it to "no audio" after first having selected a file (which will cause ripbot to gather information and take some time). So there is a workaround.
Question: Is there also possibility to have only audio 2? Should there be a option "No Audio" for audio 1? |

I like current portable solution where EncodingServer.exe doesn't need any additional local files to work. Nothing will be done in this matter. If you are so worried about your SSD then switch to HDD. I'm not going to waste my free time on this useless feature.

Considering that RipBot is a free program there has to be a methodology where you look at features that are "Nice to Have" and then "Need to Have". The latter of course takes precedence. |

Enhancement request (bug?) for selection of audio file
Problem:
In selection of audio file the extension .avs is not among the supported audio formats. However when manually entering the name of a file with extension avs everything works. It would be nice to have .avs extension supported, so that you can pick your audio avs file in explorer selection. See attachment |

v1.18.3 final is out
Code:
Added: Bitrate Distribution Optimization for 2-pass mode in Distributed Encoding Mode (chunks with smaller complexity get less bitrate and vice versa) Added: EncodingClient can shutdown servers when all jobs are finished (See EncodingClient.ini for more details) Added: Shut down method has been also added for main executable (See entry ShutDownMethod=shutdown in RipBot264.ini) Added: Autocrop in Batch mode Added: Chunk Size for 2-pass mode is now adjustable. Added: EncodingClient can alternatively create one chunk per node with equal number of frames to process (2-pass mode only) Changed: Thanks to new BDO default chunk size for 2-pass mode could be reduced to 60s. (smaller chunk size = better work distribution) Fixed: Crash in EncodingClient.exe Fixed: DirectShowSource timeout error on some machines during encoding audio phase Fixed: "NO AUDIO" option was missing if user selected .avs as video file Updated: EncodingClient v1.6.0, EncodinServer v1.5.1, MKVToolnix v8.0.0, x265 1.7.243
