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

[gabbett1]

Another issue I'm having with this new version of Ripbot is every now and then when I try to preview the movie it says:

"I don't know what 'unununununununununununununununununununununununchecked1' means
(J:\Blue Ray Ripping\Tools\Avisynth plugins\scripts\downmixaudio.avs, line 19)
(J:\temp\ripbot264temp\job2\job2_a1.avs, line 7)
(J:\temp\ripbot264temp\job2\job2_preview.avs, line 38)

Atak,
I made sure that the auto Update was on and I am still getting the invalid time error. I tuned auto update off, restarted program, turned it on and restarted program and I get the same invalid time error. Restarted the computer and get the same issue.

hello guys,

ive captured a 1080i25p File from my STB. Now i want to encode it to 720p50. In my darkest memories (lol) i could make it happen with a "deinterlace" button in the encoder settings. But i could not find it in the new version. Any ideas ?

Atak,

What is your thoughts on the Non Local Means denoiser? I just started processing a Land Before Time and it is probably the grainiest movie I have ever encountered. I've run the movie through a few times using different settings for HQDN3D but upping spatial settings high enough to reduce the file size to get down to even 5.5GB for a hour and eight minute movie started to really scrub out a lot of detail. I'm going to play around with the temporal settings of the filter now and see how it turns out, but last time I did that I saw ghosting with even conservative settings.

I knew that Handbrake has the option of using the NLMeans denoiser. I just ran a two minute preview through handbrake using NLMeans preset Strong, with the Tune of Animation. The resulting output was excellent. Though the processing time for that two minute preview was very long. I'm going to run the whole movie through Handbrake using those settings. Estimated time I think will be longer then a day.

Might be an interesting addition ??

I'm going to quote my own post.

I worked with HQDN3D's temporal settings a few times and I could not get that much of an improvement.

So the job is finally done for Handbrake using the NLMeans denoiser. Only took two days with two 12 core Opterons working on it. The resulting output is simply stunning. Why the studio could not have done something similar is beyond me. To me, it looks far better then the original source. The final file size is 3.1GB.

Atak, if you would like some clips of the original source and the resulting output file, let me know. I hope you can add the Non Local Means Denoiser to RipBot264. There is a huge hit in CPU, but the resulting output with extremely grainy sources is almost mind boggling.

It is very funny when you say it took "ONLY" two days on this beast.

I do not think that average ripbot user is patient enough to run encode for few days with this denoiser on his poor quad core cpu

I upgraded to 1.19.2 yesterday. I encoded two movies successfully. The third movie gave me a "avs2yuv.exe has stopped working" error twice at 95.6%.

I saw on the updated first post that:

Common problems:
1) AviSynth Error message or other decoding problem (avs2avi.exe/avs2yuv.exe crashes)
Uninstall all codec packs , AviSynth , Haali Media Spliter , ffdshow. XP users also must install Windows Media Player 11!

I uninstalled avisynth, haali, and ffdshow, restarted, then installed the newest versions. Tried the movie again and had the crash at 95.6% again.

When I hit "close" on the error message, Ripbot continues to the muxing process.

Anything else I can do?

Machine:
Windows 8.1 (x64), i7 4790k, 16gb ram. Using local encoding, not distributed encoding.

Yea, I forgot to use the sarcasm font for the only part.

I think the Strong setting maxed everything out. The Light setting did not take that much time when I used it on another source.

I still think this would be a nice option to have. I think I'll run it again on light and medium using the same source and see how longs it takes.

First off, thanks for the great program. Also, thanks for anyone who can help me with the following issue. Lastly, I'm sorry if this is not in the right place.

I've started using Ripbot two weeks ago. I use version 1.19.2.
I exclusively use distributed encoding, using 3 computers on the same LAN. Tonight, I noticed that one of my encodes has an issue. The movie will play, and at the 24:01 mark, the video will freeze until the 24:04 mark. The sound will play smoothly. I figured it might be a stitching issue or something, so I simply re-encoded the movie.

Same encode settings, slightly different size (11 077 402 vs 11 078 698).
The second file has the same problem.
The source MKV of the movie does not present the issue.
I looked at the x264 files, and it looks like the issue is with either chunk 24, or between chunk 24 and 25.

I don't really know how this software works, so I might be writting non-sense, but I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me fix this issue.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Sorry for quoting myself, but I was wondering if anyone would have information for me.
So far, I've encoded about 20 movies with ripbot's distributed encoding. I do not watch the movies I encode right away. Since I (randomly) found a playback error with one of the movies, and re-encoding simply reproduced the error, I had to stop using ripbot.
I would very much like to be able to use ripbot's distributed encoding again, but since I have no clue what produced the error, I can't encode with confidence.
Anyone knows what could make the video display the same frame for a few seconds, (while audio playback is still smooth)?

Thanks!

I'm faced with the same difficulty on this movie. The animation is nice, but god is it grainy!

Secondary question:
I've done two other movies prior to this error, I've used:
High 4.1, Slow, Animation with a CQ 19. When using Mediainfo, both encodes show 10 Ref Frames. I thought "slow" meant 5 Ref frames, any reason why I'm getting 10?

But having said that, it would be nice to have that option, when the need arose.

Some of "us" do have some pretty powerful "rig's"

And as AMD Opterons aren't Hyperthreaded, 2 x 12 core Opterons would be about the same as 1 x 12 core Intel Xeon.

hi atak i use version 1.19.2 .. how to fix this??

[byteshare]

Is there anyway to get the encoding clients in distributed mode to not need admin rights?

[x110x]

Hi,
ripbot264 does not muxing encoded video. i tried old ripbot versions and i can find video.264 file in temp folder but there isnt any audio file and i cant see final file (encoded and with audio muxed video) at my source destination.
i am using windows server 2008 r2 standart
used ripbot profil main 3.1 hd, ipad, iphone
what's wrong with my settings?
