Sorry I guess I should include that I'm re-encoding Blu ray to Profile AVC High 4.0 at an average bit rate of 20000 on a 2-Pass.

increase chunk size from default 60s to 300s or even 600s.

Thanks I'll give that a try. What about the BDO strength setting. Should I leave it at 2? Also, as I've asked before, how do I demux a TrueHD soundtrack without it automatically converting to Flac? Thanks.

You could try BDO 1 or 0:

As for Demuxing TrueHD soundtrack, I'd manually do this with MKVToolNix

Thanks byteshare, it's just that the TrueHD track is already in the Blu-ray .mkv so that I would have to remove the track first by creating a new .mkv file before using Ripbot264. Otherwise it will just demux the TrueHD track and start converting it to Flac which wastes a lot of time. Then when Ripbot264 is finished I would need to remux the .mkv again to add the TrueHD soundtrack back.

I also use MKVToolnix to strip out the video only, then use Ripbot264 to process that, then re mux again with MKVToolnix, leaving out the original video stream and mux in the new stream. It does take extra time, but I don't do many so not a problem for me.

It would be ideal if ripbot can be told to just process the video and leave everything else as it is.

If the copy audio isn't working for you, than you'll have to do it manually, however...I recommend using a batch file to do these things. I can help with that if you need it.
I'd use these for now (in .bat form) for stripping out audio (going from audio/video to just video:
Code:
for %%a in (*.mkv) do  "C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "..\output\%%a" -A "%%a"
Just audio (audio/video to just audio):
Code:
for %%a in (*.mkv) do  "C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "..\output\%%a" -D "%%a"

Thanks for your advice but I already know how to do it. I was just hoping there was a simple way so I wouldn't have to. I don't understand why True-HD is still singled out to be converted to Flac when other HD audio tracks are left alone.

I'm not sure either. RipBot could use a little TLC when it comes to audio but the program is great overall so what can you do but wait for updates
I know I'd like to see a "none" option for audio in batch mode.

This version has improved BDO algorithm.
First change is range. It now accepts only values between 0 and 1. (if value is larger then 1 is used)
There is also a new safety limit how much bitrate can be reduced for low complexity chunks (credits and so on). In old version it was 100kbps. Now the limit is 25% of nominal bitrate. In example below you can see that bitrate does not drop below 250kbps in credit section.

This only affects 2-pass and not CQ mode, correct?

The new 2.3 x265 has a few other optimizations for 2-pass mode.

yes. Only 2-pass needs this bitrate adjustment for each chunk.

Could you give a video narration for Ripbot264 distributed encoding?

I could not connect two computers with WiFi, would you tell me how to switch between two computers ?

I've also experienced similar crash on my pc so definitely I must debug this. What is really annoying that It is so rare

About ffdshow...

why still uses ffdshow? there is no further development & update since 2014..Lavfilters should be a better option..I bring this issue because I had nvidia gpu and want hardware decoding while encoding..want my cpu to give all it's juice to encoding..ffdshow only has intel quicksync no cuvid/cuda support but Lavfilters has all of this..pls consider this option.

Do you realize that during conversion encoding process (x264/x265) is a true bottleneck?



Hardware decoding won't reduce encoding time because CPU spends more than 90% of cycles on encoding.

I would like to upgrade my method of ripping tv DVD box sets. Don't laugh, but my current method is:
1) rip each video title with DVDFAB VOB passthroguh
2) Use MeGUI and use FileIndexer to crop, de-interlace (if required) and add my Decomb to the .avs script
3) Use foobar to make my .AAC sound file
4) Use VDub with misc filters and a two pass to make .avi
5) extract H264 and remux with Yamb
6) Final tv series of .mp4

Does rip bot do this in less steps? If so, does it accurately crop and de-interlace as required?
