RipBot264 v1.18.3 - Simple and easy to use GUI -> IPOD . PSP . CONSOLES . BLURAY

[Viper714]

Manono,
Thank you for your reply. I actually just recently found the answer to my SD encoding question. I found a resource on converting SD DVD's which I will post below. After doing the procedure listed it worked fine. I am definitely spoiled by the blu ray quality but it is better than what I had. A lot more steps than what I do on blu ray conversion. Hope this helps anyone looking for the same guide.

Here it is: Click Here

Now I just wonder if there is something of the sort for better / optimized blu ray recoding...

And you followed his advice to first deinterlace with Yadif followed by decimating to 23.976fps? If so, you seriously degraded your movie. Which is why I asked for a sample - to see what you had before offering advice.

But that's okay. It's your movie. Do with it what you like.

[Atak_Snajpera]

manono is right. You should just select "INVERSE TELECINE" option if you are working with typical NTSC DVD.

Manono: as far as the sample, I assume it is of the post encoding that I did or of the pre VOB file??

Hi Atak,

I have acquired a large amount of .m4v x265 files that I would like to run thru Ripbot, however, this extension is not supported.

Are you able to add this somehow, or suggest another process ?

Would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

You assume wrong. No one wants to see what you did with it. We need to see something directly from the source. The chances are good that it just needs an IVTC, as Atak_Snajpera suggested. There are other possibilities, but if it's a film then deinterlacing it is the last thing you want to do to it.

And I apologize, as I accidentally edited your post.

Aren't .m4v a subset of .mp4?
Did you try to rename them to mp4?

Only known difference (for me) is, that m4v can contain DRM Copy Protection (introduced by Apple).

v1.18.1
Added: Support for HEVC as input format (mkv and mp4 containers only)

No, I must admit I didn't even think of that, I will definitely try that, and get back.

That's just too easy

I probably found bug...

if I choose x265 and go in detail, there is option to choose Tune (film, animation, etc). I guess x265 doesnt support these presets and therefore this should be grayed out with selecting x265 (like Level dropdown menu) coz when I select for my x265 project --tune film video wont encode (running job1_EncodeVideo.cmd shows error)

also :\\ripbot264 1.18.3\Tools\x265\x265help.txt is empty

and also there are some issues since ripbot264 v1.8.1. no output file is generated (created). nor on deafult output path, nor on custom selected path, nor even if I set it in RipBot264.ini file. to finish my project I always must manualy mux all the tracks with mkvmerge GUI (throw there audio from C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\Encoded_Audio_1.acc and video track from C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\video.265). its very unpleasant tho

Manono, here is a 22 second vob file clip as requested

Atak_Snajpera,
I am re-evaluating my recoding procedures for a Blu Ray DVD. Earlier I believed that using the "2-Pass" mode was the best. Only because the 1-Pass would evaluate the rip and then the 2-Pass would encode it more effectively. Furthermore, using this method I can see an estimated file size of the final product. Typically I would use a KBPS of 8192, however since one of your past responses you mentioned that I was not limited to that. So I been pushing more 9000 or 10,000. This of course increases the file size.

Is there a actual science or formula that I could use that would give me a good movie recode yet not be huge in size?

I know of the CQ mode, but is this a better option at a particular CRF level?

Is there a resource on the web where I can read about this?

Appreciate your and the rest of the groups patience.

you are trying to invent a wheel again. CQ does exactly what you want! End of story.

There's always a way to build a better mouse trap or wheel!!

Okay I will start using CQ!!

Thank you...

Even Fred Flintstone knew a round wheel was optimal.

The RipBot264 guide Viper214 linked to is over 4 years old. Are there any others that are recommended? Thanks.

[soneca]

Atak, thanks for the new version!

[Wishbringer]

yep, just recognized 1.19.0 at videohelp.com.
Will test it asap.

[soneca]

Well, here it has not changed.

Atak, the path of the logs were changed in this version?

[Atak_Snajpera]

see job folder.

Yes, I was a bit puzzled by soneca's comment about a new version.

Atak forgot to edit the version number on this forum.

So, now I can say, thanks for the new version, they've been coming thick & fast, recently

Cheers

I didn't forget. There is bug in this forum. After few years you lose rights to change thread's title.
