What was wrong with ripbot?

You can try handbrake, megui, xvid4psp, automkv....many more front ends

[camlachie]

Rip bot took way to long...
and left distortion on fast moving images...
trying handbrake right now on a trailer..
seems that program is alot faster than ripbot

[camlachie]

okay my above 30gb file is out of sync...
....
i have 2 options
1 just do the origanal file which i have put the info below,,, have checked and its not out of sync....

2. Demux the 30 gb file....and redo it...
really dont want to do that again...
i used nero vision to make the 30gb file....
....
here is the media info on the origanal file...

okay have done a test of the original file using handbrake...
seems when there are any fast moving scences it gets line distortion
is there any settings i can adjust for that?

[camlachie]

okay fixed the line distortion.....
changed the bit rate from 1500 to 5800.......
and the deinterlace to slow..
it was set to none...

Now the long wait...
transfering at 1.2fps
3hr file...

saying 80hrs...

[poisondeathray]

They all are front ends for x264. If you use the same settings, same filters, same x264 version...guess what... it will take the same amount of time You can speed it up by using lower quality settings, or slow it down by using higher quality settings. If your list specs are correct, it's much faster with newer hardware you might consider getting an upgrade

So the "distortion" was from interlacing that you forgot to take care of?

[camlachie]

what do you normally set the deinterlace to ...
i have mine right now to slower....
i changed my bitrate back to 1800 on film setting
found that looks better....

Handbrake works really good but find its a cpu hog...
and causes my computer to act really slow.,,,
is there another option

[camlachie]

trying ojo soft total video converter....
seems good on the cpu but got to play with the bite rate...
will google that...

[minidv2dvd]

all encoders are cpu hogs. you can set handbrakes cpu priority in tools/options/cli. the lower it's priority the longer the task will take.
