With regard to the finished filesize being approximately 3-500ish+ mb smaller than the set size when using 2 pass encoding, is that anything I need to be concerned about? Just wanted to understand it, as I'm sure this never happened before, or least if it did I've never noticed it!

Can someone explain the new audio preferences screen. So in the past for single entries, I would load the video, then if the audio was already in aac or ac3 I would leave it as copy stream, if it was something else i would use the drop down and choose the appropriate ac3 profile. Then the next video the audio would be set to the last used entry (this could default back to copy stream or something else automatically each time for all I care). This was the same when I did a batch encode as well, I would input the batch entries, then either leave the audio at copy stream or change it if needed in the drop down. I only ever have 1 audio stream so I was not concerned with setting up multiple streams.

Now with the audio preferences settings screen, I get that I can setup globally the stream order, copy stream-ac3-whatever.... and it appears that the encoding profile priority order audio is what defaults with the single video add screen which is just fine, but what I am confused is when I go into batch encoding. I assume when I load up a batch, I have to go into the audio priority order and move (cut/paste) something else like ac3 to the top of that list if I need to do an audio convert. Once the batch is done setting up, I then need to go back into the preferences screen and move copy stream back to the top each time I do this or copy stream is no longer the default doing a single encode.

Does this make sense with what I am asking, and is this the way it needs to be now. I just want to make sure I am not missing something here

My thinking is the audio preferences screen is great for setting up what you want as all the defaults, but we still need a drop down audio profile selector in batch encoding like we do with a single encode

I have to agree, it seems complicated, but it probably isn't, I have to say tho, I don't use Batch very often, so I haven't played around with how it works.

But I would have thought that the single mode setup would have been all that was needed for Batch...but that's the way Atak wanted to go..
after all, it's his baby and he does (and doesn't) do what he thinks is usable.

And another thing, on the subject of audio, is there a way to write a Custom audio script ?

In my experience with RB, if you add any audio calls in a Custom script, (as the Custom scripts are all about video settings)
they don't seem to have any affect...is it that the way RB is written that video is "in a different location" to the audio, and that's what the problem is (not sure if I'm explaining that properly).

Anyway, we get what we get....

In the spirit of requesting audio features, I'd love another audio option that was similar to Copy audio stream for DTS but it just keeps the core. eac3to -core option does this. It's for those rips that have DTS-HD and keeping only a regular DTS 5.1 is still a reduction in file size, but no need to recompress. I (manually) use this option whenever I can since any modern device supports DTS and I can't hear the difference anyway.

Well, let's continue down the audio path..

As I mentioned in this post:-

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...54#post1999754

It would be nice to have more support for THD, and conversion to e-ac3, even if it's only 5.1, even tho there IS a way to create a 7.1 e-ac3/ec3 file, now.

Having said that, I can't use any 7.1 audio

FYI, I grabbed 1.26.0 last night from Atak's link in the first post. Today a virus scan picked up a Trojan in D:\Tools\RipBot264v1.26.0\Tools\ModifyChapters\ModifyChapters.exe

Detected: Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml

It is probably a false negative (or positive), and it might be because that version is VERY old, and it might be the trigger, you need to update it ASAP, and accept any "virus's" in your anti virus app.

I wish Atak would update the link to v1.27.2 !!!

[LigH]

Certainly not the first "False Positive".

@FTLOY:
"False positive" = reports a detection but is in fact harmless
"False negative" = reports no detection but missed a threat

Not so sure it was a false positive.

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/...f951/detection

[LigH]

If a virus is reported, then the report is "positive" (no matter if false or true).
If no virus is reported, then the report is "negative" (no matter if false or true).

The more I read "Generic", the more confident I am that it is false...

I knew it had to be one or the other, and I guessed the wrong one, but either way, I doubt there IS a problem, I've been using RipBot for years, and haven't had any "proper" virus issues.

[FTLOY]

I'm a couple of days late (haven't been checking), but we have:-

Core (2024-04-14)
FFmpeg (from 6.1.1 to 7.0.0)
opus-tools (from 0.2.0 to 0.2.34) not really sure who uses Opus.
x264 (3190)
x265 (3.6+2)

Changelog:-

v1.27.2
Added: Enhanced filtering for AUDIO and SUBTITLES streams
Added: Multithreaded optimizations to speed up "probing" and "gathering information" stages
Fixed: Audio was not extracted from some WMV

PS:- if you thought the previous audio settings were complex, wait 'til you see what's been changed, now...

Update:-

So I have been trying to understand how all this works, WAY too complicated AFAIC, but I noticed this phenomenon when clicking on the any of the 6 settings sections...

It almost seems like it's supposed to be an info pop up, or something ?!?!?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Works fine in win7. Does IT work in win10 at least?

I actually thought it might be a W7 thing.....

I only have W11 PC's accessible atm.

Maybe other users can oblige, but you might need to be testing all these new ideas of yours, on a W11 PC, even tho you hate it, I'd say a vast majority of users would be using it.

Could you post a screenshot, so "we" know what's it's supposed to look like ??

The info pop up was not showing the text for me under remote desktop. I had to connect to the console of my VM to actually see what was written there.

Hi, could anyone point me to post with an explanation of the new audio settings or perhaps could create one. Thank you.

[rlev11]

My windows 11 box is showing the popups in the audio preferences screen after I click on Create/Update button for a profile. all the boxes when clicked in will show the popup. Maybe video card/driver issue. I run an Radeon 6600XT on my client machine.

I think I have figured out the audio preferences for Batch encoding now for how I want it setup for myself. Although I only ever really use 3 stripped down profiles. An Xcopy Stream, a AC3 5.1 and an AC3 2.0. I just created the 3 profiles I needed that only have the 1 audio stream in the format I need and just removed everything else as I don't need anything with subtitles or more than 1 audio stream, and then removed the built in ones after I saved off the .ini files which are in profiles\preferences.

So I ended up with these files now only existing in profiles\preferences:

XCOPY Stream.ini
[Preferences]
Audio1FilterList=DEFAULT;;
Audio2FilterList=;
Audio3FilterList=;
Audio1EncodingProfilePriorityList=x.x|C O P Y S T R E A M;
Audio2EncodingProfilePriorityList=
Audio3EncodingProfilePriorityList=
SubtitlesFilterList=
SubtitlesDefaultFilterList=;
SubtitlesForcedFilterList=;

AC3 2.0.ini
[Preferences]
Audio1FilterList=DEFAULT;;
Audio2FilterList=;
Audio3FilterList=;
Audio1EncodingProfilePriorityList=2.0|FFMPEG AC3|256 kbps;
Audio2EncodingProfilePriorityList=
Audio3EncodingProfilePriorityList=
SubtitlesFilterList=
SubtitlesDefaultFilterList=;
SubtitlesForcedFilterList=;

AC3 5.1.ini
[Preferences]
Audio1FilterList=DEFAULT;;
Audio2FilterList=;
Audio3FilterList=;
Audio1EncodingProfilePriorityList=5.1|FFMPEG AC3|640 kbps;;
Audio2EncodingProfilePriorityList=
Audio3EncodingProfilePriorityList=
SubtitlesFilterList=
SubtitlesDefaultFilterList=;
SubtitlesForcedFilterList=;

[rlev11]

Although now once I closed Ripbot and opened it again, the 3 original .ini files that I removed from profiles\preferences have now magically reappeared. Have to figure out where/why they are being regenerated from on program start

[Atak_Snajpera]

Just in case if you user would like to check default values.

Btw.
Audio1FilterList=DEFAULT
Is kind of risky Because if audio file does not have this text then you get NO AUDIO.
