I have been using this program for years, but the most recent update adding distributed encoding is phenomenal. I can now split the encode between my 980x and 2500k and I am seeing drastically reduced encoding times (30-40% reduction). Thinking about building a couple more boxes to really set it on fire...

I just discovered this app a week ago and ran into a small problem after a few successful conversions. I rip my (yes, I own them) BD movies with anydvd-hd to the drive, remux them with tsmuxer(gui), and then convert to .mkv files. Again, the first few titles went smoothly. Then a problem with ripbot communicating with ffdshow popped up: i googled and found a potential solution of un- and re-installing ffdshow.

The communication problem went away, but then ripbot went through the demuxing stage and then just sat at the 100% state (and thereby wouldn't allow me to change the Encode settings).

I un-installed ripbot and its four required components, did a fresh re-install, and ran it. Now, it again processes the file in total. After 8-hours of processing, it claims the job is complete; however, there isn't an mkv file in the destination folder. Yes, i double-checked the job settings. It's just not there--there's only a video (audioless) file in the temp job folder.

Anyone experience this? time to un- and re-install again.

As a follow-up to my previous post about RipBot264v1.16.5.7z. Take note of the new comment added by the author or VH admin about needing the newest version of 7-zip.

"NOTE! You must extract latest version with 7-zip 32bit version!"

That note wasn't there when I originally posted my problem but I might also add that although I had a pretty recent version of 7-zip v9.20 32 bit, I needed to download 7-zip v9.23 Beta for it to work. Everything extracts ok with that version. I'm not sure what's different but it worked.

RipBot264v1.16.5.7z

I can decompress the previous version (RipBot264v1.16.4.7z) but all I get is errors and warnings about a bad compression method with (RipBot264v1.16.5.7z) using either Winrar or 7-Zip. It's the same whether I d/l the file from the direct link from VH or use the one from the Author's link.

this tool is spectacular. one thing i'd like to suggest adding would be an option to Sleep (alongside the option to shutdown). it would be handy for those that use Sleep/Hibernate more than shutting down their computers.

Great tool. I've suggest to author to add another external encoder command cli (like x264) for spursengine cars from toshiba, external hardware solution to encode very fast and very well bur without response. It's free for personal use and work very well with .avs script.
I hope will be done with ripbot264.

i've used this program regularly in the past and it's worked great. however, i'm tryin to convert more movies now so i can place them on my new android tablet. when i add the file i'm converting, it goes thru the demuxing process, then it gets stuck at "Please Wait... Gathering Information..." it stays there until i hit abort, i even let it go overnight while i slept. it's never done this before and i'm not sure what i've changed that would be causing this now. any ideas and thoughts on how to correct this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I'm trying RipBot264v1.16.4 as the *.7z file for version 1.16.5 throws up over 430 errors when trying to extract resulting in all the extracted files being 0 bytes. Got this with all download links tried.

I get the same error with this app as with so many other apps that use the yadif filter for deinterlacing: Avisynth error: Not An Avisynth 2 C Plugin: C:\Downloads\RipBot264v1.16.4\Tools\AviSynth plugins\Yadif\Yadif.dll

The only way I've ever been able to get yadif to work when writing my own scripts is using 'Load_Stdcall_Plugin'. 'LoadCplugin' just won't work, whatever version of Avisynth I install. I have no idea why this is. So unfortunately I can not fully try this app out as it won't encode. Loading and making changes etc work fine, it just doesn't do anything when I come to encode because of the problem I get with yadif not loading using 'LoadCplugin'.

I believe it is the best program of its genre.
Now with this new version 1.16.5 is even better.

I have been using this latest version of RipBot 264 and I have to say that this is probably the best "freeware" program I have ever used! Very highly recommended H264 encoding solution.Does everything you need it to do with a clean interface.

Brilliant, simple and easy to use. Running on a Quad machine with Win7 64 bit, and so far no glitches or bugs- very stable and fast! Beautifully renders MKV/MP4 video files to play on the big screen through my media player.Kudos to the developer of this software!

Simple interface GUI that makes use of various opensource tools.
Works great for folks looking to re-encode video content for their portable devices.

@branch
Compared to MeGUI or StaxRip and you will realize RipBot indeed requires less settings.

Who the hell wrote that question - "without exotic filters and unnecessary settings" and then it requires AVisynth, ffdshow, haali media splitter all of which i consider exotic and unnecessary things.

the only thing its missing is a Pause button.

Great little piece of software very inuitive. Unfortunately I only figured out about an error through these "comments". DON'T CHANGE THE OUTPUT DIRECTORY!! I wanted it to save > Desktop and I changed the name from 00017 to the name of the BD Movie and after 2.5 hours of exciting anticipation, the movie file never popped up onto my desktop. I've learned my lesson and drag/rename movies AFTER they've been output into the default folder.

That should be a MAJOR bug oversite! the temp folder that's demuxing should automatically spit out the encoded file anywhere the User sees fit.

No offense to the creator of this software, but if CloneDVDmobile supported Blu ray encoding, I would totally go with them. But alas I will bite the (free)bullet and use this.

Still an A+ Product!

1.5.1 didn't like the latest version of Haali media splitter I got from this site link, so had to get an older version.

Choosing a profile doesn't automatically select resizing to suit the profiled device. Making this automatic would be nice.

Overall, much better than other solutions I looked at. Great work!

Great software, but 1.15.1 seems to be broken. It complains that Haali Media splitter is not installed. version 1.15.0 still works great for me. I even tried installing the very latest version of Haali but still no dice with 1.15.1.

great tool. if you can make it work under windows 7. still a lot of bugs with external codec installed separately .lots of bugs working under windows 7. application crashes or directory is chosen for you . if you change it manually in the output to a different directory, you will get no files at the end of the encoding . true for xp and windows 7
and help from author is very little .or usually regarded as it is your fault and not his application conflict .
but it is free , and at this point . not much more can be said.

let's hope the author clean up those bugs and make it more stable to use for windows 7

This is a great tool. the only thing that's missing is better subtitle support and multiple audio streams for mkv files. I use this in combination with tsMuxer and mkvMerge.
