How to backup and convert Blu-ray to MP4 HD or MKV HD | ||||||
| Baldrick posted 2008 Oct 18 14:30 | ||||||
This guide will describe how to convert your own Blu-ray Disc video to a single MP4 HD or MK4 HD file that can be played on computers, HTPC and media centers like the Popcorn Hour, Tvix, etc. You could also use this guide to just shrink Blu-ray and output as a new Blu-ray Disc / AVCHD. You need of course a Blu-ray reader like a Blu-ray ROM or Blu-ray Writer and lots of HDD space.
Tools required: AnyDVD($110) or you could try free DumpHD but it does not support newer movies with BD+. Ripbot264(free) and it requires that you have installed .Net Framework 2.0, Avisynth, ffdshow, Haali media splitter. suprip (if you need subtitles). Preparation Install AnyDVD. If you are in Windows Vista, you have to disable UAC(User Account Control) and run as administrator. See here. If you are in Windows XP and can't see any files on the Blu-ray drive when browsing the disc then install this UDF Reader 2.5, extract the files and right click on the thdudf.inf file, choose install and then restart your computer. 
Install all the required tools for Ripbot264, Net Framework, Haali Media Splitter and ffdshow. Use winrar or 7zip to extract Ripbot264.7z to a folder. 
Guide Start Ripbot264 and choose Add to start a new Project Load the Video, browse to the Blu-ray drive (or the backup folder) and go to the BDMV\STREAMS folder and choose the 000000.m2ts(or whatever m2ts file) file and Ripbot264 will automatically load the movie. Select the video track(the 1080p/24), audio track(DTS or AC3) and if you want subtitles. Ripbot264 will now demultiplex the video, audio and subtitle and it will take several minutes. If it would crash or stop then be sure to use LATEST anydvd or rip the Blu-ray to your HDD first(see here). 
Video Under Profile choose HD BluRay Consoles (Click on ... for advanced encoding settings) Under Mode choose CQ for Constant Quality, you can adjust the CRF, lower CRF=better quality but bigger file size. You can also adjust by output file size by first choose 2-pass under Mode and then click Lock size and choose the file size, use around 1-2GB/hour video for 1280x720 video or 2-3 GB hour/video for 1920x1080 video. 
Crop and Resize Click on Properties to crop and resize video. Many movies are in 2.35 or 2.40 aspect ratio(check the back on Blu-ray cover) with black borders in the source Blu-ray video so we can crop out those. Under Crop choose automatically. Use the size if you want to down resize to smaller format like 1280x720(16:9) or choose Custom for 1280x544(2.35:1) or 1280x534(2.40:1). Click on the Preview to view how it will look like. 
Audio You can copy/keep the DTS or AC3 audio if you are making a .MKV file that is playable on computers, HTPC and some media centers like Popcorn Hour and Tvix. Choose AAC audio 2.0 if you are making a .MP4 file for PS3 or Xbox 360. Change to .mkv or .mp4 at the bottom. 
Subtitle If you need subtitles you must convert the Blu-ray sup to srt, use for example suprip (suprip guide). You can make hard coded/burned in subtitles by click on Properties and click on the right arrow at the bottom and under Subtitles choose Build in Picture and load the srt. If you want switchable subtitles in the mp4 or mkv then click on SUBTITLES ... button and load the srt file. 
Last hit Done to add the project to the Queue. Hit start to start Convert! It will take several hours to convert H264 HD video, even on a fast computer so go and do something else now. 
Play the .mp4 or .mkv with Media Player Classic Home Cinema or VLC Media Player or stream to your media center. 
suprip - sup to srt Download suprip and extract files to a folder. Open the sup file, you find the sup file in the Ripbot264 temp folder, default C:\TEMP\Ripbot264temp. Click on Auto OCR. Click SRT and view the text, if it looks okey then you can Save... If doesn't look okey you have to manually OCR the text, click on Image. Click on the OCR button and then type in the characters you see and click OK and click OCR again and repeat until done. Save as a srt under SRT. 
anydvd - Blu-ray to HDD You can rip the Blu-ray Disc to your HDD using AnyDVD if you want to store the Blu-ray for later conversion, just right click on the AnyDVD-fox-icon in the notification area and choose Rip Video DVD to Harddisk. You neeed a lot of space(around 50GB). If AnyDVD crashes or wont work be sure to upgrade to LATEST AnyDVD. 
Blu-ray to Blu-ray/AVCHD shrinking Follow the guide above but do NOT crop. You can down resize to 1280x720p as it supported by Blu-ray video. Under SAVE AS choose Blu-ray Disc instead of MP4 or MKV. 
You can then for example burn the Blu-ray Disc output folder to a DVDR and it might work on some standalone Blu-ray players. Burn using Imgburn, select Write files/folders to disc, add the .bluray folder that Ripbot264 made and Imgburn will adjust Blu-ray settings correctly. 
Problems If you are in Windows XP and can't see any files on the Blu-ray drive when browsing the disc then install this UDF Reader 2.5, extract the files and right click on the thdudf.inf file, choose install and then restart your computer. If Ripbot264 stops or crashes after you opened the m2ts then try rip the Blu-ray to your HDD first(see here) and then open the m2ts from the HDD. If you receive an error like
If you receive an error in Ripbot264 like
Or try rip the Blu-ray to your HDD first(see here) and then open the m2ts from the HDD. Or try use tsmuxer to open the main movie mt2s(the biggest file) from the Blu-ray, create a new ts file and then open the new ts in Ripbot264. Read this detailed Blu-ray to MKV guide: http://forum.videohelp.com/topic362452.html for more information how to use Tsmuxer.

| first things first, great guide, i'm sure many people will find it useful.
now on to my 2 questions: why, oh why, do people crop and resize hi def video files? and why, oh why, do they use that blasted mkv container or even mp4? here's what i mean: this guide is intended for those that wish to backup a blu-ray that they legally own, right? well to me "back up" means just that, making a back up copy in case the original one is somehow destroyed. what your guide, and similar guides describe, is not actually backing up the blu-ray, it's converting it to another size for viewing on your computer. let's examine this further: if the original movie is in 1920x1080, encoded with h264 and either lcpm or ac3 audio (as most blu-ray dvd's i have seen are), muxed in an m2ts container, then why do people "backup" to a non-standard blu-ray resolution, like 1920x800, 1920x816 or 1280x544 and to a non-standard container like mkv? yes, i know all about the fact that the original movies had an aspect ratio of 2:35 or 2.40, but that refers to the aspect ratio of the movie on film, not in digital format, it makes no sense to crop a digital video file that's encoded to FullHD resolution (1920x1080p) to a non-standard blu-ray resolution in some retarded attempt to mimic the aspect ratio of the original film. film is designed to be played by a projector and viewed on a canvas (or whatever those screens are made of) 100 inch screen, with the projector about 60 feet away from the screen, the digital versions are authored to be played back by a computer chip and viewed on a liquid crystal display from about 20 feet (or less) away, it's absolutely ridiculous to resize the digital version to the same aspect ratio of the film version. now how about a guide on how i can convert a 720p movie, with h264 video and lcpm audio, muxed in an mkv container to an m2ts. i know all about tsmuxer, tsremux, mkv2vob, i have tried every method i can find but all the resulting m2ts files will not seek properly using a software player (i haven't tried burning an avchd and playing it back on my ps3 yet), when you try and seek either forward or backward you get tons of corruption (ugly blocking artifacts with all different colors). is there any 100 percent way of getting the streams out of that blasted mkv format and into something blu-ray compliant? | ||||||
| Baldrick posted 2008 Oct 19 05:37 | ||||||
| Yep, it's only for playing using a HTPC or a media center with good mp4 or mkv support. You could also use Ripbot264 to output it as a blu-ray video and burn on DVDR and it might work on some blu-players. Just don't do any cropping and choose the Blu-ray as output.
But why are you making/downloading mkvs? Just get the blu-ray discs and you don't have to convert to blu-ray or avchd...:) | ||||||
| deadrats posted 2008 Oct 19 07:04 | ||||||
the answer is simple really, i only download movies that i bought on dvd before blu-ray was even out or movies that i bought on hd dvd before blu-ray won the format war, for these movies as far as i'm concerned fair use governs my actions. for any other movie that doesn't fall into the above categories, like pirates of the caribbean, resident evil, spiderman and so on i do buy the blu-ray, i currently own at least 20 purchased blu-ray disks, at least that many hd dvd and i can't begin to tell you how many standard dvd's. | ||||||
| guns1inger posted 2008 Oct 19 08:45 | ||||||
Despite your quite illegitimate arguments in favour of piracy in the OT forum, fair use has nothing at all to do with this. By your reckoning, if my father paid for a vinyl edition of a record in 1958, he is now entitled to the 8 track, cassette, CD, DVD Audio and SACD versions as well, simply because technology has moved on since then. Have you ever made a post that wasn't full of self-serving deluded bullsh*t ? | ||||||
| poisondeathray posted 2008 Oct 19 10:00 | ||||||
People usually don't resize to "the same aspect ratio as the theatre". That is the way it came on blu-ray minus the black borders. The resize is just a few pixels off for mod16 compatibility. Have a look again closely at your retail blu-rays. Removing black borders is just personal perference. Some people like blue, some people like red, some people don't like borders. Honestly I don't bother even making "shrunk" backups anymore with the affordability of hard drive space MKV is a "standard container." There is set standard outlined by clear specifications. Have a look (http://www.matroska.org/ ). There are more and more devices that support .mkv. The next generation DivX is h264 and will officially support .mkv. It has much less overhead than transport streams, so for people who "shrink" their blu-rays/dvd's it makes sense. It has more utility than other containers, such as AVI, MP4, it support more audio & video file formats, subtitles, chapters and even menus are rumored to be in the works in future releases. There are several ways to convert .mkv to .m2ts, and it's a bit different if you want to make a compliant AVCHD disk (e.g. for your blu-ray player) - you have to keep compliant settings. They have been outlined here and on Doom9. I suggest you [search] , if you have specific questions after that or are not clear, please create a new topic. Pixellation during seeks can be caused by several things, including the choice of splitter, decoder, software player and/or system setup. You haven't provided enough information You have a choice not to "shrink" your Blu-Rays or crop the borders. These are for your personal backups, not someone else. | ||||||
| Supreme2k posted 2008 Oct 19 10:00 | ||||||
| Not supporting one way or the other, but you're probably not going to download an 8-track or cassette. It will probably be an MP3 or other digital format :P | ||||||

that pretty much sums up my feelings, why should i have to repurchase a cd version of a tape i already bought? read up on fair use: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use and while you're at it read up on the audio home recording act of 1992: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Home_Recording_Act despite what the riaa and mpaa would have you believe it is not the end user's responsibility to act like a perpetual cash cow for big business. in fact, if you have been following the riaa lawsuits, you will see that many of those that decided not to settle and fought the suits ended up winning, and even in the case of a woman that was ordered to pay 200+ thousand dollars in damages the verdict was overthrown on appeal and sent back to the lower courts for retrial. big business is not your friend, they don't give a crap about you, i think sometimes it's nice to return the favor. | ||||||

| @baldrick: thank you for a great guide, I can't wait to try it out.
@deadrats I too agree that once I've purchased a movie, I am entitled to watch it in whatever format I want. However, I just thought about it another way... If I buy a movie in DVD format the native resolution is something like 720x400 (288,000 pixels per frame). That same movie in Blu-ray format may be 1920x1080 (2,073,600 pixels per frame). That equates to 620% more content in Blu-ray format. There's a gap of 1,785,600 pixels per frame in your logic (though, you do rationalize it as "returning the favour"). Essentially, what I'm saying is you're getting more in the Blu-ray format compared to DVD so I don't think the fair use idea applies. I would completely support anyone who uses the DVD they purchased as the source for encoding to other formats (just like someone who owns a VHS tape, audio cassette or 8-track would be entitled to shift formats). The use of encryption on a DVD to prevent format shifting is bullshit. | ||||||
| deadrats posted 2008 Oct 19 14:41 | ||||||
i suppose you do have a point, but as i said many of the mkv's or blu-ray's i download are high def versions of movies i already own on hd dvd (i currently have about 30 or so hd dvd's), since i don't have an hd dvd reader i can't rip them and convert them to blu-ray so what i do is download them and convert them to avchd so that i can burn them to a dvd9, same holds true for the blu-ray's i already own, i download them and encode the mkv's to avchd to burn to dvd9 as a backup. | ||||||

| @Baldrick
Since AnyDVD is able to decrypt movies in background wouldn't be easier and faster to import movie directly from disc? BTW. It doesn't matter if you select first .m2ts , last or some in the middle. | ||||||
| Baldrick posted 2008 Oct 20 06:58 | ||||||
I didn't think it would work but I had just forgot to install an UDF Reader for WinXP :oops: . Updating the guide. Thanks! | ||||||

| First, Excellent guide, thanks!
I have a slightly different, but related question please. I own quite a few Blu Ray movies. I prefer to watch them on my HTPC, served up by a media server. So, I rip them to MKV on the Media Server, and view them on my HTPC over a Gigabit network. Its just so much more flexible this way. And with something like Media Portal (among others), its a cinch to do. But, even though large HDDs are cheap, at 25+ GB per movie, they get filled very fast. So what I want to do is to copy it to the media server, but reduce the total bitrate. The only way that I have found to do this is to re-encode using something similar to this guide. Is there another way? re-encoding is VERY time consuming (even on a Quad 9400). Im thinking that at 4GB per hour of video or so, the quality difference between my original BRs is negligible. Any thoughts? Joe | ||||||
| poisondeathray posted 2008 Oct 23 19:13 | ||||||
You can't reduce the video bitrate unless you re-encode You can reduce the total size a bit if you remove the other streams and the multiple audio tracks with TsMuxeR | ||||||
| galing posted 2008 Oct 23 19:23 | ||||||
| Thank you poisondeathray.
Yes, I am already using eac3to/AnyDVD, so what I have is the primary video and audio stream only. The mkv file is still generally 20-30GB (depending on whether I keep the Lossless stream). OK, guess its time to start dreaming about a Octo Extreme 4Ghz processor for re-encoding :-) | ||||||

| HI think its a great program but have some problems, normaly i use DVDdecrypt and DVDShrink, byt now i have a Demo Bluray disk i will make to a MKV file, when i use RipBot264 after i have get the BluRay disk on my HDD with AnyDVD i get this error....
DirectShowSource: Couldn't open D:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\video.mkv: The selected folder/file was not found (D:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2) im using Vista Ultimate, do i have to run the program from my C:\ disk !? or what do i do !? | ||||||
| Baldrick posted 2008 Oct 27 11:59 | ||||||
| Do you see any files in the D:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1 folder? especially the video.mkv file.
Ripbot264 might not work with all Blu-ray Discs. | ||||||
| tjgrindsted posted 2008 Oct 27 12:42 | ||||||
I have a LG GGW-H20L and no...on my d drive i have a folder named "temp" but havent got the video.mkv file in it. | ||||||
| dbone1 posted 2008 Oct 27 17:09 | ||||||
I have had this problem once before. Turns out somehow the stream gets out of whack when the blu ray was ripped to your HDD. Just use tsMuxeR and create a new .ts stream (keep everything the same). Once the new .ts file is created use this with Ripbot and you should be fine | ||||||

| A subtitle says what?
I have used this guide to backup several of my blu-ray discs to MKV. I have backed up 4 to 720p (single layer DVD) and 2 others to 1080p (dual layer DVD) all with excellent resulting quality. My question though comes in the form of these subtitles. I think I must be missing something somewhere, because in all 6 cases I have gone through the long arduous process of ripping subs from the movie, and manually doing an OCR of the subtitle image as Auto-OCR hasn't worked for me yet. It's not much fun to spend 20 minutes reading a movie's script and correcting the subtitle text only to find that you can't see them upon completion. Please help me figure out where I'm going wrong. Let me also note, I don't like subtitles. If it weren't for my son who requires them, I wouldn't care at all. Your guide seems to suggest if you don't want subtitles that appear on the screen at all times, you leave the "burned-in" option unchecked in the video configuration screen and all you have to do is load in the SRT from the subtitles tick box. I do this, set the language to eng, and start the rip/conversion process. When the movie is complete I watch it back (tried several software players just in case), and I have no subtitles. Am I missing a step? Do you have to select burned-in rather you want them on screen permanently or not and the subtitle SRT loader overwrites that to make for selectable subtitles? That's not the way the guide reads, but I'm stumped here. Thanks in advance for your assistance. | ||||||
| Baldrick posted 2008 Oct 28 11:44 | ||||||
| Jaceman:
Did you extract all files from the suprip and put into a folder? I guess it needs the fonts to be able to autoocr. But I have just tried autoocr on one bluray...:) The srt muxing(switchable subtitles) seems to be a bit buggy so you can try add a srt subtitle to the mp4 or mkv using YAMB or mkvmerge instead...or just put the srt together with video file with same name like video.mp4 and video.srt and install vsfilter. | ||||||
| happyprozak posted 2008 Oct 28 15:46 | ||||||
| Hi Baldrick, fantastic guide thankyou. I have one question, I know you said the quality is well preserved, but how well preserved is it and at what compression? Is it possible to post some before and after pictures to compare the original source with the comrpession? If you do, I would love to see 'worst' case and 'best' case scenarious so I would know what to expect on conversions, especially if you are keeping them at 8gb and under. | ||||||
| JaceMan posted 2008 Oct 29 15:08 | ||||||
I don't know what files you're talking about extracting. I loaded the the sup file, manually OCR'd the transcripts, and then saved the SRT file. Was there something other than the SRT I needed? I then loaded that srt into RipBot264. Movie completes, subtitles don't appear to exist.
I'm not familiar with the tools YAMB, mkvmerge, or vsfilter nor the usage of any of the above, but I'm not above learning. I will do some playing/exploration with these tools and see what I can accomplish. I am a technical writer and trainer by trade. I do documentation all day long. If I come up with a smooth and stream-lined approach for Blu-Ray to mkvmp4 with subtitles, I may write my own guide if you don't think I'd be over-stepping to do so. | ||||||
| Baldrick posted 2008 Nov 01 12:50 | ||||||
| Jaceman: I mean the subrip.zip file and all files in it should be extracted to a folder. And no I don't mind if you also write a guide, if you do so you can post the link in http://www.videohelp.com/newguide . | ||||||

I've tried it with an HD-DVD and it seems to work (still encoding) which is great because I was looking for a way to convert my HD-DVDs to be playable on my PS3 (which I'm using mostly as a bluray & media player). | ||||||

| Hey all,
First of all AWESOME guide, but I am running into some snags. I backed up my first Blue-Ray no problem. But now I am onto some others and I am definatly getting some problems. Mainly once I AnyDVD HD the the Blue-Ray disc to my hard drive I open up RipBot and it goes through the "demux" stage...for some reason once it gets near the end stage of the demuxing it opens up windows media player classic and then I get a program shutdown message for RipBot. I am running Vista 64. Please help.... -Lou | ||||||

| What does Media Player Classic say???? | ||||||
| Baldrick posted 2008 Nov 06 06:51 | ||||||
| favek: you can try use tsmuxer to open the main movie mt2s(the biggest file) from the Blu-ray, create a new ts file and then open the new ts in Ripbot264. See http://forum.videohelp.com/topic358185.html#problems
Or it could be a 64bit problem....have you tried convert something else using Ripbot264 before? | ||||||
| favek posted 2008 Nov 06 10:13 | ||||||
| Hey thanks for the quick reply.
Its funny but I added Ribot and WMC to the DEC list in Vista...and it now seems to be working. Maybe I just got lucky I don't know. Baldrick, I will try your way in the future if the others do not work.... Thanks! | ||||||
| favek posted 2008 Nov 06 14:09 | ||||||
| I just realized that I am having the same problem that tjgrindsted is is/was having. I have taken your advice Baldrick and I am using tsmuxer after I AnyDVD HD the discs. I make the largest .m2ts file into a .ts file.
But when I bring it into a RipBot it starts to demux the audio and I watch it climb to 100% and then it starts over dexmuxing the audio again. I let is go for over an hour, it seems to be in a demuxing loop. I am running a hefty quad-core....should I let it go longer? | ||||||
| Baldrick posted 2008 Nov 06 14:23 | ||||||
| Maybe a bug. Report in http://forum.doom9.org ripbot264 topic.
Or try remove audio tracks in tsmuxer when making a new ts. | ||||||

| Greetings,
Favek you are my man, I have exactly the same problems as you are, I am using Windows vista ultimate. First of all I am a newbie to this kind of ripping but I've tried everything that I read on the web with no result. I NEED TO MAKE A BLU-RAY MOVIE to .mkv I have downloaded more than 20 different programs about ripping such as tsmuxer, ripbot, meGUI, automkv etc and nothing seems to work. The easy part is to copy the whole movie in my hdd with anydvd. I am from Greece and I also made my Casino Royale subs to .srt With ripbot I have the following problems 1)When I open the m2t file from streams of bluray it stucks in depluxing when it opens WMC. 2)I made them to TS by tsmuxer and when I try to load the ts it somehow makes a loop in audio demuxing. I tried another method, I ve used this guide which I read in another forum 1) Rip BD to HDD with AnyDVD HD 2) Demux desired streams with tsMuxeR 3) Re-encode if required with MeGUI/x264 or Nero Recode AVC 4) Mux with mkvmerge GUI to Matroska (mkv) And I am stuck in Re-encode with MeGui because its chinese to me. Please can you help me? :( Thanks | ||||||
| Branners posted 2008 Nov 07 03:09 | ||||||
| First of all excellent guide, by far the best I have found! So many thanks!
Secondly can I ask how long, on average, it takes to encode a 30gb ts file to a mkv using the 2 Pass option? I am using an Acer laptop which has an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (2.0ghz, 667Mhz & 2mb L2 Cache) and 3gb of DDR2. I was hoping maybe 10 to 15 hours but it looks like it could be easily double that? Many thanks, Branners | ||||||

If .m2ts is outside blu-ray structure Ripbot will demux ALL audio streams and subtitles. When demuxing process reaches 100% then next audio stream is chosen. I will change that in next version.
And what does WMC say?????? This is very important!!! | ||||||

| I amhaving problems with this app. Running XP sp2. Uninstalled CCCP. Installed AVISynth, Haali, FFDShow, .net 2 already installed.
When I select my mts stream (R*sh H*our 3) which is ripped onto HDD using anydvd hd, the pop up box appear as it should to allow me to select video stream audio stream and subtitle. Only thing I change is select none for subtitle. When i press OK, it takes a while to demux stream. After it is done, WMC is opened with an error (looks like it is trying to open an avs file, forgot actual filename) with this message: "Cannot play back the video stream: no suitable decompressor could be found." F:\temp\job1\xxx.avs, line 2 Tried using 1.11.0, 1.10.6, 1.10.8 and same results. Tried the txmuxer on the largest file and used the resulting file and I am getting same issue other people have posted: keeps looping with audio demuxing over and over. Don't know what to do next. Should I install Koepi XVID installer to get a YV12 decoder? I don't have any other bluray disc. Should i try on a avchd camcorder file? Do I need to enable VC-1 in FFDShow? Edit: I installed Koepi Xvid installer and also enabled VC-1 in FFDShow to libav??? and now it appears to be working now. Not sure which one did it, but I suspect it is enabling VC-1 in ffdshow (read that somewhere else). I'm surprised this is not in the original instructions. | ||||||

| Hi Guys,
I am trying to convert a AVC1 Blu-ray with AC3 audio, I have de-muxed the audio and video and would like to keep the video stream uncompressed and mux into a MP4 container, with the AC3 converted to 2.0 channel AAC so it is compatible with Xbox 360 It seems ripbot will not do this without compressing/re-encoding the video stream ? how do I do this without doing this ? I believe the AVC1 is already H264 so should be compatible with the MP4 container... Go easy on me been a nooob !! | ||||||

Convert the audio using something else like DAudioK and then mux the video and audio to a new mp4 using tsmuxer, yamb, mp4muxer, etc. | ||||||
| scoobdriver posted 2008 Nov 13 04:31 | ||||||
| Cheers Baldrick..Thanks for your help
So if I demux the m2ts file with TSmuxer, I'm left with a raw video stream h264 or x264 I think, and a AC3 file. Load up the AC3 file in KaudioK and convert to 2.0 AAC LC Add the raw video stream and the new AAC audio to MP4muxer and remux. ? and I'll be left with a Xbox 360 comaptible MP4? Does this sound right ? sound to easy to be honest :) | ||||||

| I have a "small" issue.
I already installed Avisynth, Haali Media Splitter and ffdshow and followed the guide like described. But when I open RipBot264, it says that ffdshow is not installed. Is it in some way possible to point to the right directory or something like that? Or did anyone else experience this error? Thank's koxxxx | ||||||

Did yoy install latest r2301 revision? Do you use Win 32bit or 64bit? Do you use administrator account or user account?
new version will enable vc-1 decoding in ffdshow automatically. | ||||||

| I am trying to encode one of my Blue-Ray discs and have an issue with later versions of RipBot264 after 1.10.8.
I am resizing down to 1280x720 mkv with subtitles and ac3 track. The problem is that during playback of approximately the first 10 minutes or so, the resulting mkv movie stutters as if it is playing back at around 10fps. After that point, it is smooth for the remainder of the movie. Edit - v1.11.4 fixed this issue. | ||||||

I tried your said it happened good but I need audio files about film, i couldn't find audio ? I tried without audio when I push the "start" button it processes for a little bit time (about 2 or 3 seconds) and then finish. I can't see any file after short processing. My English is not good I hope you understand me :( My purpose; I have many blu-ray disk films (from my frends)I want to convert to MP4 format. And audio format will be 5.1 mp4 does support 5.1? Or it can be MKV format. However my main purpose I want to watch this films on PS3 ? | ||||||

| I have a problem as well...
I didn't have to rip the Blu-ray, someone already did that... so I have the m2ts folder... the file inside plays without a problem. However, I tried to make a .mkv out of it, and the resulting file is badly out of sync, the audio gets offset worse and worse... :( | ||||||
| redwudz posted 2008 Nov 21 02:32 | ||||||
| I got that same error with one Blu-ray:
DirectShowSource: Couldn't open C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\video.mkv: The selected folder/file was not found (C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2) But I was able to rip the Blu-ray to the hard drive using AnyDVD. There were two large Mt2s files, both about 14GB which were the two parts of the movie. The first part was numbered higher than the second part. :? Pays to check them by playing first. :) So using TSMuxer, I appended the second part to the first part, then deselected everything else but the AC3 5.1 audio. That gave me a single file. Ripbot accepted that and six hours later, a perfect MKV 4.36GB file. :D Out of four Blu-rays converted, that's the only one that gave me any problems. But TSMuxer worked great. :) EDIT: AnitaPeterson, usually when the sync error gets worse as the file plays, that means the video and audio are different lengths. You would need to adjust one or the other. Or you may have selected the wrong audio track. :( | ||||||
| AnitaPeterson posted 2008 Nov 21 23:39 | ||||||

There's only one audio track in it. Why does this go offsync when I convert to mkv??? :( | ||||||

| Ok im really sorry that this is in the wrong forum. But im so lost i really are unsure what to do. All i want to do is back up my own blu rays on to 4 gig dvd or a 8gig dl disk. I have followed this guide:
http://club.cdfreaks.com/f142/bd2dvd-blu-ray-dvd-guide-232165/ Now this worked perfect and i did not lose any quality at all. But the m2ts file im ripping is 23gig. I have shrunk it to 14.5 gig using ts remux. But when i slit them it will take either 4 dvd's or 2 dl's. Is there a way to further shrink the m2ts file? is there a way i can just get these files on a DL disc without losing to much quality? | ||||||

| Hi Baldrick. For three days now i have messed around with that ripbot program. And it has teaken a full day to convert. So i have left it over night hoping to wake up the next day and it would be working. But no such luck. I have followed your great guide but it may be because im a newb to all this. Last night i set ripbot to mp4 and resolution 1280x544. Which is fine for me. But i woke up after it took at least 11 hours to convert, then the bloody thing was not even on my computer anywhere it did not save. My computer is good enough. | ||||||
| superhulk posted 2008 Nov 22 10:43 | ||||||
| Right i have tried TS Muxer and ripped my incredible hulk bluray to 16gb. Now i have loaded ripbot up, then i have clicked Add and i have chosen the hul.m2ts 16gb file. Now my ripbot says video demuxing or something like that. And it dont seem to be doing anything. I have let this for 20mins/30mins and still nothing the % is not going up. I have also tried to ripp the hulk to TS as suggested by baldrick but the same thing happens. Im no dummy (well maybe a bit of one LOL) but i have folled the guides exactly. | ||||||

| superhulk, it takes me about one hour to rip to the HDD. (Sony 2X BD player.} The analyzing and demuxing can take a while. :( But I noticed some of my BDs have 12 languages and about the same amount of subtitles. And there is a lot more 'junk' on the disc besides the main movie. That may contribute to some of the time used. Using Tsmuxer and disabling all but the languages, subs and video track you want may speed things up.
I'm using the 2 pass MKV encode and not changing any other settings. It takes about 6 hours for both encode passes to finish. This is on a Intel quad core Q9300 overclocked to 3Ghz. (In my computer details) I also use two hard drives so one drive isn't shuffling between the files. I encode to a 4.37GB DVD-5. I tried one conversion to a 8.5GB DL DVD-9 and the quality was a small bit better. I view on a 12' projection screen. But the DVD-5 is quite good, considering the filesize. :D The DL encode took about 8 hours, but some of the difference in encoding time may be due to the different lengths of the movies. I've done six BD>MKV conversions and only the one I detailed above gave me any problems. But it also came out perfect in the end. :) | ||||||

At the end looks like the program was in stanby, doing nothing and i had only the abort button...should i wait? i click on abort... :) so i used tsmuxer. - i selcted the biggest m2ts and my audio track. - wait and the process ended - so i used Ripbot264 but i had "no audio track"...why? si i used tsmuxer again!!! - i selcted the biggest m2ts and leave all tracks. - wait and the process ended - so i used Ripbot264 but now looks like i'm in a loop of demuxing audio streams....i thnk the program is working on all tracks? omg! :( what i'm doing wrong? i want only get my audio track!! i have to select the 00000.m2ts track or the biggest one? thx and sorry for my english!! | ||||||

| redwudz posted 2008 Nov 30 12:27 | ||||||
| Usually RipBot works fine by itself, but on a couple of BD discs I've had to use tsmuxer first.
It takes about an hour to rip the BD on my system. I think you choose the first .m2ts just so RipBot has a starting point. If you choose all the audio and sub tracks, tsmuxer will demux them all and that takes a while. Let us know how it went. :) Your English is fine, and welcome to our forums. :) | ||||||
| blackwalker posted 2008 Nov 30 13:28 | ||||||
| ty redwudz!
i'll let you know..still some hours =) anyway, i have some questions: 1) with tsmuxer i have to select the biggest track? (i think yes) 2) with Ripbot264? the 00000.m2ts one or the biggest one? (dunno...) 3) after i got my .ts file using tsmuxer, how i do i know which one is dolby digital or DTS? (cause i only see the bitrate only...) 4) if i have multiple subtitles in my languages, can i include all in the mkv file or only one? ty for your time!! :D | ||||||
| redwudz posted 2008 Nov 30 13:44 | ||||||
| I'll try to answer your questions, but I don't know that much about tsmuxer and ripbot myself. :(
1) The biggest track should be the main movie, usually 20 - 30GB. I have found one BD where it was split into two parts. I have used VLC to play the .m2ts files to verify that they are the main movie. 2) I think Ripbot uses that as a starting point. I've always selected the first .m2ts, no matter what the number was. 3) I've always deselected all but the main video file and my English audio file in tsmuxer. Not sure how to tell them apart afterwards. :( 4) I don't use subs, so someone else would need to advise you there. Baldrick had some information in his guide. I would look to that. I think MKV can support multiple subs, though. It's a very flexible format. :) | ||||||

| First,
Thanks for your guide. Admittedly I'm not using your guide...I'm using a combination of eac3to/MeGUI/TSRemux to convert from Bluray/HDDVD to AVCHD discs for use/play on my PS3, but I have a question that you may or may not be able to answer. I have subtitles ripped with eac3to in .sup format. TSRemux accepts this format when adding as a source file. Here's my issue. My rips are transcoding/resizing the video from 1920x1080 to 1280x720. When I add the ripped .sup files in TSRemux, is stated the subs are at a resolution of 1920x1080. How can I resize these subtitles and keep it in .sup format so that they are at a resolution of 1280x720 to match my video? | ||||||
| superhulk posted 2008 Nov 30 17:25 | ||||||
| right i will run throught what i do. First i back up my blu ray using anyDVD and rip it on to my HD. Then i Load up tsmuxer then tick the video file, then i have a load of audio files in different languages and about 5-6 of them are in english. I have tried quite a few of these and can not seem to find the normal english audio. Then i would load up ripbot v1.10.6. This is the only version of ripbot that works on my computer. the other versions crash. So once that has loaded i would copy this great tutorial. And it works, Apart from my audio issues. I also tried to copy my K**G KO*G HD but that did not not work how i hoped. I ripped the whole movie in the highest quality which again took 2 days, to find out the audio was out of sync. I know im a newb, and some of this is trial and error. But for some reason my files take like 1-2 days to convert and i can not use my computer to play games or anything else while this conversion is going on. I have pentium duo core 6600, 2mb ram. geforce 8800gts. and in my opinion its a very fast computer but this process take me forever. | ||||||
| Atak_Snajpera posted 2008 Nov 30 18:06 | ||||||
| Your CPU is not very fast for video encoding. You should invest in Quad-Core Q6600. Mine is running at 3Ghz without any problems. BTW You should really try latest v1.11.5 and my method next time. It should not crash. | ||||||

Make sure that you have latest drivers installed for Ati 4670. @The Incantation Addborders are added for compatibility reasons. Blu-Ray standard accepts only 1920x1080 , 1280x720 , 720x576 , 720x480.

| only one audio stream is supported at the moment. You can add multiple subtitles by clicking [...] next to 'subtitles' :) | ||||||
| Baldrick posted 2008 Dec 04 17:03 | ||||||
You could add more audio streams and subtitles to your encoded video files using for example mkvmerge(mkv) and mp4muxer(mp4s). Extract custom streams from the blu-ray mt2s using tsmuxer. | ||||||

| well i make my first conversion from bly-ray to a dvd dual layer.
I see perfectly on my computer. when i try to play with my blu ray player, a samsung BD-P1500, it say that cannot play the disc! :( The blu-ray structure that RipBot264 create is this one: BDMV ------AUXDATA ------BACKUP ---------------BDJO ---------------CLIPINF (inside the dir i have: 00001.clpi) ---------------PLAYLIST (inside the dir i have: 00000.mpls) ---------------index.bdmv ---------------MovieObject.bdmv ------BDJO ------CLIPINF (inside the dir i have: 00001.clpi) ------JAR ------META ------PLAYLIST (inside the dir i have: 00000.mpls) ------STREAM (inside the dir i have: 00001.m2ts) CERTIFICATE ------BACKUP index.bdmv MovieObject.bdmv the structure is ok? if "no", what is wrong with it? if "yes", maybe my BD Player cannot play it? ty again for your patience :D Updated: maybe my BD player dont play it because i use a Verbatim "DVD+ dual layer" ad not a "DVD- Dual layer"? its strange because i played a rental film in DVD+ Layer yesterday and it work fine.... someone can help me? :( tyvm! UPDATED! maybe i have to set "bitsetting DVD-ROM" to make it compatible! i'll give it a try! Can i do it using Imgburn or i have to use Nero? ty! | ||||||

| ron spencer posted 2008 Dec 05 15:36 | ||||||
| in ImgBurn goto Mode-Build and choose the device tab
Now look where you can choose the number of copies (is 1 by default). Right beside to the right are 2 icons...choose the one at most right, the one that looks like a book. Click it and you will be able to change the booktype if your drive supports it. | ||||||

| Unfortunately alot of blu ray players do not support blu ray on +R DL. The manufacturers have been really crummy in telling you what they are compatibile with (some will not even play blank blu rays).
For example, my LG BH200, when I updated to the lastest firmware, stopped playing blue ray on +R DL and blank BR discs. So I called them and they said they removed that feature...stupid fools. Like that for alot of players. So I went back to older firmware. I hate to say this, but I think you are out of luck...call the drive manufacturer and complain for a firmware update (assuming you burned it all ok in ImgBurn, that is, you choose UDF 2.50; but ImbBurn should choose this for you). If you dragged all the file structure over and proper UDF was chosen, then your player will not play it....this is a hardware issue; again complain is all you can do. Blu ray is REALLY BAD in this sense....with DVD, all players worked with blanked....crock really | ||||||
| blackwalker posted 2008 Dec 05 22:26 | ||||||
ho well, ty for the info. this really not a good news! :( yes i burned with UDF 2.5. i'll try to call the suport and see what they'll tell me. what you mean with "blank BR discs"....new unburned BR disc? if the answer is "Yes", i'll turn back the player to vendor "now" and i'll change it, cause this is really absurd..! :-x maybe its better to switch to a PS3? | ||||||

| yes...I meant with blank Blue Ray discs I meant the ones you can burn on (udf 2.5).
Unfortunately the blu ray world is really a mess for consumers who want to burn their own movies from high def cameras....You really have no idea if a player will support it. Again this was an area where HD DVD was so much better. Sorry, but it is a crap shoot now for burned high def media in a player. If it does not work, send it back. I think most sonys will play such content on burned media. But you are right...it is absurd....all of HD is absurd right now, which is why it is not selling. | ||||||

| I had this problem with my converted Blu Ray/MKV to VOB files on the PS3. My solution was to use the 'tweek' controls in RipBot. When RipBot has been through its demuxing you are presented with a screen which contains the naming and location window. It also has a 'properties' window. On the second window of properties there is an option to tweek colours. I have found that I need to set this at +20 brightness.
Hope this helps. | ||||||

i read the guide, but i'm little confused...cause my english suck! sorry... do you mean this: Blu-ray to Blu-ray/AVCHD shrinking Follow the guide above but do NOT crop. You can down resize to 1280x720p as it supported by Blu-ray video. Under SAVE AS choose Blu-ray Disc instead of MP4 or MKV.
and i have to set 2-Pass,Kbps=?,lock size=24000mb ? or this: Video Under Profile choose HD BluRay Consoles (Click on ... for advanced encoding settings) Under Mode choose CQ for Constant Quality, you can adjust the CRF, lower CRF=better quality but bigger file size. You can also adjust by output file size by first choose 2-pass under Mode and then click Lock size and choose the file size, use around 1-2GB/hour video for 1280x720 video or 2-3 GB hour/video for 1920x1080 video.
its the "kbps" that determine the output size or its the lock size? ty for yout time!!! | ||||||

I have selected consoles and I have tried both ac3 5.1 audio and ac3 2.0 audio without success.

I used Sony's Motion Picture Browser for this. The camcorder's MTS files are 1920x1080 with 5.1 sound. Now if I can only shrink down my blu ray movies to dvd5 correctly....

| I've been reading for awhile (in several different places) and can't seem to find any posts with similar problems to mine. Whenever I run an encoding job with Ripbot or MeGUI (which I think uses the same encoding practices) my computer locks up and has to be hard restarted. I am fairly certain it isn't a pc component issue because I can rum Memtest86 for 24 hours with no errors and similarly can run Prime95 for 24 hours with no errors. Since Prime95 (which I imagine should stress my computer components similarly) doesn't lock up my pc, but encoding does 90% of the time, I'm sort of at a loss. I have encoded successfully one time, but it was after 8 attempts and I have had 12 more attempts since all unsuccessful. If anyone could point me toward where I might look for some sort of resolution, I'd appreciate it. I am using the following versions of programs.
RipBot 1.11.5.7 AviSynth 2.57, build:Dec 31 2006 Haali Media Splitter 1.8.122.18 ffdshow rev2391_20081129 MeGui 0.3.0.3009 (also some others, if their version numbers are required) Other info that may or may not be useful. I use a Q6600 processor, have the video file and the place being encoded to on two separate raid arrays, and use dual 8800 GTs for graphics. At this point I'm open to any thoughts at all because encoding my Bluray backups with these protocols is the only thing that I have found capable of locking up this pc. | ||||||
| Atak_Snajpera posted 2008 Dec 13 15:12 | ||||||
| it sounds very weird! Try this:
1) uninstall aviSynth , haali and ffdshow 2) disable all antivirus/antispyware software or any other unnecessary software running in background 3) reboot 4) Install again Avisynth , haali and latest ffdshow if this does not work : reinstall windows :) | ||||||

Thanks for the reply. I did notice that from the first encode i did not choose "copy stream" for audio. I have started the encode again. I looked at the log file and there was an error at the very end of the job. The video file and the audio file did not merge, "Error: no language selected". Hopefully this time it will work as this is very time consuming but fun at the same time! I will post results as this job is done. | ||||||

| Can someone please help. I am running Windows Vista 64 and following the steps in this guide. When I run Ripbot264 and add a new job, I select the .mts file, when it is finished analyzing the stream, it launches Windows Media Player Classic and it just sits there. There is no error message, it just says "Opening..." and sits there. I've let it sit overnight and still nothing. I've tried using TS Muxer and creating a .ts file first and pretty much the same thing happens expect Media Player Classic shows the filename "getinfo.avs" in the header and it is stopped.
Either way if I close WMPC, the result is no file is loaded into ripbot and I can't go further. I hope someone can help. I built this computer with the specific intention of ripping and backing up my blu-ray discs to play from my media server. Thanks in advance for your help! | ||||||

| Atak_Snajpera,
Thanks for your reply. I tried reinstalling all of those applications but to no avail =( I'm guessing that it might be something conflicting with the x264 encoder, ffdshow, or avisynth. Being that I unistalled every other encoding program I could even think of other than the aforementioned, can you think of any other similar encoding processes that might be able to help narrow down my problem? My latest attempt at an encode lasted 2 hours into pass 1 before locking up my pc. I really dont want to reinstall windows if there is some way to narrow this down a bit. Thanks in advance. | ||||||
| DarkAvalanche posted 2008 Dec 13 21:59 | ||||||
| Reading my last post I feel I may have not been clear; what I was getting at was that perhaps there is another codec or program that might use x264 and avisynth but not ffdshow or some combination of the three where I may be able to exclude programs which couldn't be causing my lockup. | ||||||

| Thanks for the great guide. All went smoothly, although with my computer it took almost a full day to convert a blu ray to .mkv, while retaining 1080p. My problem is that I can't get perfect play back of the resulting .mkv file. Using VLC, both picture and sound are excellent, except when the picture occassionally stutters. Using MPC and KMPlayer the picture is excellent and never stutters, but the audio becomes progressively more out of sync quite rapidly. If I advance or retreat to a new point, the audio and video become resynced, but then the divergence begins anew. This problem sounds the same as the one found by AnitaPeterson. All three players have no problem playing any other mkv files. I do have PowerDVD installed, as well as AnyDVD. When selecting the audio stream I used the x.xCopy Stream option. I tried a second blu ray with the same procedure and (not surprisingly) got the same result. Any suggestions? | ||||||

| Yes! Buy faster CPU! | ||||||
| wcookiii posted 2008 Dec 19 02:02 | ||||||
| Well, a faster cpu WOULD be nice. But, I don't think that my cpu being a bit slow is the cause of the playback problems. When playing back with VLC the cpu is at 70-80% and actually drops to about 50% during the picture stutter. When using MPC and KMPlayer the CPU is at only about 30%, so that would seem not to be the problem with audio becoming increasingly out of sync. I am experimenting with a short file. Will let you know what works if I find out. | ||||||

| or buy graphic card with DXVA acceleration. I have Radeon 4850 and in MPC-HC (DXVA enabled) CPU is at 1%
What cpu do you have then? VLC stutters because your cpu is not fast enough to decode 1080p in real time! | ||||||

| No issues using RipBot264 to convert BD video for playback on an Apple TV. Video is fantastic ! Problem is the audio - I can only get stereo on the Apple TV when I convert using RipBot264. I can use Handbrake to convert SD DVDs and get 5.1 audio. What am I doing wrong? I should be able to convert BD to 720P with 5.1 surround for Apple TV playback. Anyone have any ideas? | ||||||

| I am going to try this when my Blu-ray drive arrives shortly. I am wondering about the UDF Reader 2.5 for XP. The AnyDVD web site says -

| Hi folks,
I wonder if AnyDVD-HD is really needed or we can get by with DumpHD ... But on the 1st page "Baldrick" says that DUMPHD "does NOT" support some of the newer BD+ discs. What about the "DVDFab HD Decrypter" the freeware ... doesn't that rip the Blu-Ray discs to Hard Disc!?!? Thanks, G!:) | ||||||

| Just a quick comment I was having the exact same problem that Skylab2 is having.. with all the options grayed out. This just started happening.. no software was changed on the server. (a simple reboot fixed the problem)
My other question which is just a annoyance because I have no idea where to start with it.. I was able to rip a HD & BR movie but my sound is off.. it looks like the sound veried from being in-sync with the video to being almost 5 sec. out of sync. I tried both .mp4 and .mkv files doing a x.xcopy for the .mkv format and the highest audio option for the .mp4 Am I somehow missing a step to sync the audio & video? Here's what I'm doing. 1) - Dump HD movie to the hard drive in .iso format 2) - mount .iso with "Virtual Clone Drive" 3) - run RipBot and point it to "H:\BDMV\STREAM\00000.m2ts 4) - Select the following on the Blu-Ray Structure screen -- 00100.mpls, 00007.m2ts, 2:32:13 -- 1: Chapters, 40 chapters -- 2: VC-1, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9) -- 3: TrueHD/AC3, English, 5.1 channels, 48khz -- 0: NO SUBTITLES So did I mis a step? I'm going to try using AnyDVD to dump the files straight to the hard drive instead of into a .iso just to see but I don't think that's the problem. -Eric | ||||||

| Im sure you are sick of hearing it, but great guide. Read a lot of others, and this one was written well enough that my thick skull could deal with it :-)
Since I am a control freak (:-)), I am doing it command line (except for subtitles). Its a really simple script, but there is one thing I still dont quite understand. In your guide, you talk about cropping the video. It seems like what you are doing is cropping out the black borders from the original Blu Ray source. Makes sense - Blue ray is always 16:9 (either 1920x1080 or 1280x720), but a popular geometry for the actual film seems to be 2.35-2.40 these days. Hence the black borders. Why did you use 132 from the top and bottom (meaning you crop out 264 total)? Are the black borders on all blu rays this size? Probably not coincidence that 1920 / (1080-264) roughly equals 2.35? I havent tried doing a cropped encode yet, but I am also wondering how MPC will deal with it - will it center it in the middle of the screen (ie, add its own borders) ? Thanks for any enlightenment - I want to add a crop to my avs script, but not sure if it can be automated for all blu rays. Thanks, Joe | ||||||

| Hi
Please i have been tinkering around with ripbot. And i must say what a great program it is. Well i am trying to backup my brothers G0*Father bluray. Well i have used ripbot many times now and im quite familiar at it. BUT i cant seem to get the subtitles working properly. Ideally i need the english subtitles for when they speak in italian. I have used sunrip 1.4. But when i load the sub and click OCR it loads like 1500 lines. Now they all mess up pretty much, so do i have to manually change all the words or is it something i am doing wrong. Also if i can not get the english subs on only when they speak italian is there away to turn them off and on? Like someone of the earlier posts said it seems to mux quicker on MP4 setting. But on mp4 setting my 5 gig mp4 file would not work on my ps3. Many thanks | ||||||

The BD is Apocalypto and there is no Eng audio track, just Mayan. All I want to do is permanently engrain the English subtitles onto an .m2ts file with the Mayan 5.1 ac3. I can get the audio/video fine, but the subtitles won't show up. I tried suprip to get the .sup file and then did an auto ocr to make an .srt file. I then added that .srt file along with the audio and video in tsmuxer and the resulting file plays fine, just no subtitles. Am I missing a step of the process?

| Hi to all,
according to title of this thread, I hope this is the right place to ask for advice for Ripbot264 settings. I have a blu-ray disc "Legends of Jazz" and I was trying to make a MKV file with ripbot264 to use it in my A-100 Popcorn Hour player but with strange results. So far I made few MKV's with ripbot264 ( following great guide from this forum ) - all came out OK. This time as a result I got the video with "comb like" horizontal distortions ( specially during fast moving scenes ). BDInfo says that original video material is MPEG2-Video 1080i/29,970fps/16:9. I've tried CQ and 2-pass with different settings without success. Should I do something with DEINTERLACE settings here because it's MPEG2 not H264 type of file ? I'm new to video conversions, so probably it's simple question but I couldn't find any solution reading this thread. Thanks in advance for any help. | ||||||
| Atak_Snajpera posted 2009 Jan 21 14:42 | ||||||
| You should enable deinterlacer (Top Field First -> 29.97fps)
@cjbrown80 Make sure that your subtitles have the same resolution as video. For example 1080p subtitles won't be visible in 720p. Also did you select subtitles using remote control ? | ||||||

So i x out media player classic and try to open the .mkv file that ripbot just created but it launches media player classic again deleting the .mkv file wtf all this and the file gets deleted i've done this like 5 times already.

| Hey,
just started with this thing.. I really tried this guide about 10 times but somehow I guess Ripbot still has some issues in stability.. When I use the job queue jobs are just finishing the second I start them. When I just use one BR vid it works, but only one time.I For example. I want to convert hell*** in 22 quality and 18 to see the difference. the 22 works fine and creates a mkv. Then I edit the profile and choose QC 18, I leave the audio streems as they are. File is created but with the same size as the 22 Version. Can this be correct? Maybee I just don't understand it right. I want to get the filesize smaller and I thought the bigger the qc the worse the quality and smaller filesize.. Maybe this is wrong. I love the GUI. Its by far the best one. But somehow I guess I still don't know how to use this.. HEEEELPPPPP :-) | ||||||

| Hey guys, I am trying to backup my first BR to .Mkv. When I load everything into RipBot per the guide and start the encode job it says it's complete in like a second. Any idea what the problem is? I am just doing a straight copy and copying the audio stream, etc. It almost seems like the program is only running on the first .mts file rather than all of them? I did have to do the workaround in the .ini file to get the program to run but I do have all necessary programs and codecs installed.
EDIT: I installed the older version (1.12) and it appears to be working now? Thanks! Ted | ||||||

| Hi
Please. I must ask again. I have updated to a quad core now and must admit that ripbot is a godsend. I love it. But i must raise the question again, I have backed up The D**k K**ght and B**man B**ins. But i have backed them up on resolutions 1920x1080 the max setting. And the size is DVD5. I have loaded the original bluray on my ps3 and compared them to my dvd5 backups, and i really if i be honest cant see any difference what so ever. How much quality do you lose on dvd5 backup? @Atak_Snajpera i listened to your advice but due to £££££ i have decided to backup to dvd5. Also i have a 47" 1080p Tv. Is there a big big difference between resolution 1280x720 and 1920x1080? Obviously the resolutions better on 1080p but can you notice it on a 47"TV? Sorry for the stupid questions but i cant work out if its my eyes. | ||||||
| MaxBlack posted 2009 Feb 13 16:42 | ||||||
| Not to worry--your eyes are not deceiving you. Even if you go to 10ft 1080p projection, your discs will look great.
Just keep doing what you're doing--don't argue with success! :D | ||||||
| superhulk posted 2009 Feb 14 16:45 | ||||||
| Cheers MaxBlack
One more quick question i forgot to ask. when you load your disk into the ps3, you get the avchd and a little disc icon next to it. Just curious, Is there away of doing these to the backups. Like example my D**th Ra*e BD has a little jason stratham picture. Is there a way of doing this on a dvd5 backup? | ||||||

| redwudz posted 2009 Feb 17 01:59 | ||||||
| teddykgb, I'm not sure exactly what causes that, but what I do then is rip the BD to the hard drive, open that with tsMuxeR and select the main movie and the disired audio. Then mux them together and feed the result to RipBot. This works most times. You need lots of HDD space. :( | ||||||

The first movie that I attempted with ripbot worked great - ripped and created a 10 gig mkv file without a problem. I'm still able to rip the films just fine, and when I attempt to re encode everything seems to be working...I can see ripbot doing pass 1, pass 2, etc...but 10 hours later when ripbot says the job is completed, the output file doesn't exist. I tried 3 times with two different films and this keeps happening. When I look in the ripbottemp\job1\ directory the ripped files are definitely there - I can see the audio stream, and an uncompressed 30 gig mkv video file. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? I'm following this guide exactly, and my first rip did work fine. Very strange. To be sure I tried searching my entire hard drive for .mkv files, and the output file is nowhere to be found. | ||||||

I have a Core2 Quad @ 3.00GHz, and for the average ~2hr Bluray movie, it takes me just over 4 hours to do a 2 pass encode @ 1280x720, with max file size set to 4000MB (.MP4) and the whole time my CPU utilization on all 4 cores is 100%. I'd wager that you should be able to do encode a file with the same settings in around 9-10hours. I'd agree w/ Atak_Snajpera that you might have background process happening. | ||||||

| Hi
If i use ripbot on a AVI video like one of my wrestling clips will it make the clip better quality to work on my ps3? I use VSO Convertxdvd but when i run it on my ps3 the clip seems blocky. But i used this program called ps3 video 9 and bumped all the settings up to HDTV and high quality picture, and i have got to be honest the quality was way better than ConvertXdvd. Which makes me wander that if i put the avi through ripbot would that do the same thing. The ps3 video 9 takes 4-5 hours on my quad core and then the file did not work. I can be a bit unstable, so i might try ripbot. | ||||||
| NewSkyArena posted 2009 Apr 20 10:34 | ||||||
| @superhulk
A first question that should be asked is what is the resolution of the AVI that you are trying to convert to run on the PS3? If your original AVI is say 320x200 or even 640x400, you won't get a clearer image if you set your re-encode to 1280x720 or 1920x1080. Regardless of the software you use for the re-encode. | ||||||

I spent hours trying to find a fix for this exact problem. After uninstalling Nero 9.0.9.4 the next blu-ray I attempted worked just fine. I haven't yet tested any others.

Geoff, I had this exact problem with Windows 7 release candidate x64 edition. I have now solved it by updating all of the accessory programs (avisynth - dec '08, ffdshow x86 & x64 - about 1 week old, Matroska_Splitter - about 1 month old, MKVToolsNix - around March, and Ripbot264 itself - about 2 weeks old). The newer Ripbot then asked for Java Runtime to be installed (with a link), which I previously had by default in my XP x64 install due to running Open Office. I installed that and haven't had a problem since. The new GUI with the darker text is better also (thanks Atak_Snajpera) I also run Nero 8, which has nothing to do with the operation of RipBot264 as far as I can see & fail to see how that could have been a problem!

| Derelict_Drvr, Assuming you are using AnyDVD for the decryption, try ripping the BD to your hard drive and running RipBot from that file. If you still have problems, open it with tsMuxeR and select the main movie and the desired sound track, then 'start muxing'. Use that for a input to RipBot.
If you still have problems, it may be with the RipBot install. Try uninstalling and reinstalling and check your versions of the required programs for RipBot. One of them may be the problem. If you are asking about a line similar to this: D:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\getinfo.avs, line 2) , then ripping to your HDD and using tsMuxeR as above should solve that. It happens on some of my BD>MKV conversions. :) And welcome to our forums. :) | ||||||

| Hi All, was using Ripbot in windows vista ultimate x64bit no problems.
have recently upgraded to windows 7 ultimate x64bit build 7600 due to a pc crash. have reinstalled ripbot and accessory programs however, after I select the Blu-Ray structure and press ok - whilst loading the content it locks my pc up completely. all vitals (voltage, temp & cpu/ram usage are well in the green, it's barely doing more then 25% util) but it locks up dead... I re-ran a 24 hour torture test to rule out the overclock and re-attempted a rip - but alas.... no go - again full lockup after loading the blu-ray structure. Anyone else had any problems? Cheers, Matt | ||||||

| Whilst i think ripbot is an amazing tool, and god bless the creator. Theres one thing i want to ask. I used bd builder once to back one of my movies up and it worked great. On the video play back on my ps3 when i fast forward or rewind it worked perfect. But i prefer ripbot but i have noticed i have backed up a lot of my blu ray's using ripbot but the fast forward and rewind are a bit dodgy. has anyone witnessed this. it sort of forwards then stops for a while. Its really laggy. | ||||||

| This is.....strange. I used Ripbot on my computer and it took a 18GB blu ray movie down to a mear 818MB MKV file! I compared them side by side and the only difference is audio is less quality and the video is a little blurry. This was my first movie conversion and I'm kinda shocked at how small the file was. Did I do something wrong? I followed this exact process | ||||||

| hi
sorry for the question, but i have spiderman 2 bd and there is not one big m2ts file. the movie is split to multiple files with multiple filesize like many mb up to gb. is there a way to get the correct filelist for the main movie from mpls or is there a program that can automaticly merge the splited movie to one big m2ts? are there other movies like this, where no one big m2ts file is present? thanks | ||||||

| I had an encoder error while trying to encode my first disc, do any of you know what might cause this? It's "x264 [error]: 2nd pass has more frames than 1st pass (149569 vs 113284)". I'm currently trying it again in CQ mode, but i'm still curious why it didn't work in 2pass.
Here is the log:

| Hi! I am a newbee to this forum! I have been reading this nice guide from Baldrick on how to convert Bluray to MP4 HD or MKV HD. Since I can see this guide is quite old (Oct 18, 2008), the question is now: Is that still the best way to do the job?? Or there is another better, easier, or more efficient way? If yes, could you please let me know and also tell me if there is any new guide for the conversion from Bluray to MP4 HD or MKV HD ???
Thanks! | ||||||

| use ripbot newest version with CQ18 for best output quality or CQ20 is also good but much smaller filesize. you can also reduce 1080p to 720p. good luck | ||||||

Hi! Thank you for your reply to my question. The guide on the 1st page of this topic is using RipBot264. So, do I finally still follow this same old guide to do the job? | ||||||

| i think nothing changed here. only the internal software was updated. |
