First, install Perian, then use quicktime to make a shortcut to the video you want to use in itunes (if itunes can't already open it), then import the shortcut. This droplet will make the process of creating the shortcuts easier.

NOTE: itunes can import and play all sorts of videos (avi, mkv with softsubs, and probably wmv and ogm too) in this way, but they won't necessarily play on your ipod.

Do not close RipBot. Try to find following files:

job1_EncodeAudio.cmd
job1_EncodeVideoPass1.cmd
job1_EncodeVideoPass2.cmd
job1_MuxFiles.cmd

Then execute those files manually. (in the same order!)

where are those files at?

i cant find them anywhere, are they inside the x264 cmd? or are they actually their own programs inside your folders

wait no i take it back, it looks like clicking the different files are working well

why is it necessary though? Anyone else with this problem?

and what kinds of fps are people getting? right now ive got 33fps second pass with a dual xeon 2.8 system built in 2003 (old)


Edit:

im an idiot, its messing up because my drive is named J: instead of C. I need to change something in the script or soemthing so it doesnt assume the programs are on c

Nice app that I'd like to get to work! First, when I attempt to auto-crop, the app complains it can't find the autocrop.log. I look in the temp folder, and it does not exist.

Secondly, when I start the project, it looks as if the audio encodes properly, but the video doesn't encode at all, and no video is saved anywhere. I've tried to run both as a user and an admin.

I'm trying to convert a short 3min. MKV file to an ipod-compatible MP4 file. I've also tried both constant quality and bitrate. Same thing. Only audio actively encodes, but nothing for the video.

I really don't understand why this program doesn't work at all for me. First, auto-crop doesn't generate the log, so the app complains it can't find the log. Secondly, no video is encoded at all - only the audio encodes. And, no final product shows up.

Is there a log of some sort I can send to troubleshoot?

In the "job1" folder there are 4 *.cmd files, 3 *.avs files, 1 *.ini file, and info.txt file. In the Ripbot264temp folder, there are no files. According to the .cmd files, there should be a video file and an audio file to be muxed, correct?

Let's see why video is not encoded.
Open job1_EncodeVideoPass1.cmd in notepad and add one line below command
pause

example
"C:\Users\Dawidos\Documents\Delphi_Projects\RipBot264\tools\x264\[RipBot264]x264.exe" ...
pause

save this file and then execute job1_EncodeVideoPass1.cmd manually. If you get any error make a screenshot.

OK, here is the result from pass 1. As you can see, there are 2 errors - not sure what the first means, but the second claims it cannot open the job1.avs when it's in the same folder.




Here is the File Info when the job1.avs is loaded into VirtualDubMod. But, in order to do that, I had to remove the "framecount= " from the directshowsource line in the avs file, otherwise the avs file wouldn't load in VDM.



I thought that perhaps the original video was not in YV12, but apparently it is. Any other suggestions?

EDIT: OK, I determined what the main problem is: Everything works fine if I edit the job1.avs file by removing the framecount in the directshowsource line just before I start the encode. Why would my version not like to see the framecount in there?

I've tried several other video samples, and the autocrop fails to generate a log, and Ripbot continues to complain it can't find one. Does this only work with mpeg2 files input, or should autocrop work with any file? I also wonder if it has to do with the framecount issue above as well.

Yes! Framecount is also added in script for autocrop. Autocrop works with any file if video can be decoded. Did you try with Avi? Try to remove all codecs and then install FFDshow + Haali Media Splitter. Do not install Xvid!

Well, the info for the trailer I've uploaded is in the jpg of my previous post. It's 24 fps.

I have both MKV and MP4 samples, and in each case, the framecount appears in the directshowsource line of the avs file. Ripbot simply doesn't work with that in there, and I must remove it before each encode. Here's a sample Matrix mkv trailer.

I wonder if there is a version conflict in the chain of apps? I have avisynth 2.5.7.

Your sample has been encoded in Xvid so I suggest to remove Xvid codec and use ffdshow instead!
I use FFDshow and everything is working...

OK, thanks for the reply.

The vid I uploaded wasn't encoded by me. Can you tell me why it would matter which encoder was used anyway? If there is a DS filter to decode the input, and the avs can be read and played by any player, then why would it matter?

The only problem here is the framecount thing in the avs file. The problem is NOT that the number is inaccurate, because the number reported is exactly what is reported by VDM. The problem is simply that it's there, and when I remove the "framecount= ", it works fine. I guess the whole autocrop is related to that too?

All the other vids I've tried result in the same problem (autocrop and framecount).

I have used MeGUI, Staxrip, AutoMKV with no problems, so I'm hoping your svelte app can work for me too.

I assume your problem is gone once you removed xvid?

Probably Xvid decoder is more bugy than FFDshow
