How to backup and convert Blu-ray to MP4 HD or MKV HD

[sightus]

It won't use more CPU power because shaders run on GPU (Pixel Shader 2.0)
Go to ffdshow video decoder configuration and deselect OSD

Hmm..ok. I deselected OSD; we will see the result in 12 Hours.

Thanks

Hello, I just tried this guide and installed all the required software.
I'm running on Vista.

I can launch the RipBot264 and select the stream.
It starts analyzing the Blu-Ray structure and allows me to select the video, audio, and subtitle. The window closes and then I get to the New Job window which says : "Please wait analyzing selected streams".
but then after a few minutes the media player opens and remains saying "opening file...."
So I cannot the the next step which allows me to select the profiles, mode etc...

Any ideas?

thanks

Why when i convert a m2ts file into Mp4 file is it 2 times faster than a m2ts file to MKV with the same profile ? (x264)

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

I'm having issues with the subtitle streams from a blu-ray rip.
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? Is there something specific I have to do with the fonts maybe? I read this whole thread and Baldrick explained some of this, but I still can't get it. Thanks in advance.

Ok now i have ripped my movie into a mkv using ripbot. Now i have gone into ts muxer the newest version. I have put my mvk and my sup file there and converted into a bluray format. Then i have burnt it on Nero on udf 2.50, but when the movie starts the this big stupid green line is at the bottom of the screen. Does anyone know how i can fix this please?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Did you know amigo that blu-ray structure supports only 1920x1080, 1280x720,720x576 and 720x480 resolutions. Why did you remove black borders???? It looks like you will have to repeat whole proccess
Next time read guide carefully !!!

Any help on the subtitles?

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]

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 ?

[meico1234]

Atak_Snajpera - thanks a lot for your reply.
I'll run this option tonight.

[cjbrown80]

@Atak- How do I tell what res my subtitles are at?
No subtitles appear on the video file itself or on my WDTV media player, which is ultimately what I use to play most stuff.

[Atak_Snajpera]

You wouldn't have problems if you added .srt file in RipBot264!

[cjbrown80]

I'll try ripbot tonight. Thanks much for your help.

Thx Baldrick for the guide. I am very new at this and the information in this forum has been very helpful. I was able to successfully create a blu-ray folder and I can play the .m2ts file using Power DVD on my PC. The only problem I run into is burning the folder to a dvd9 using imgburn. After burning the disc following your instructions, i insert the disc into my blu-ray drive and try to play with Power DVD and get an error message for "unsupported disc format". I also tried using AVCHD Patcher 1.05 with the drag and drop method and get the same results. I only have one blu-ray player currently on my pc to play the disc. Will these discs only play on standalone players or should they also work on my LG GGC-H20L drive if done correctly? Any ideas?

[meico1234]

Atak_Snajpera - again, thanks a lot for your advice.
I run ripbot264 with first option in deinterlace box checked and final file plays perfect on A-100 Popcorn Hour and that what I was looking for
What is strange for me, the same file plays with a lot of problems on my PC ( quad core, geforce 8800gts, 4Gb RAM ): massive pixel blocking almost stopping playback. As I said, as long as it plays perfect on A-100 it's OK. with me but I'm just curious why it works that way on PC ?

Hi just a quick question and im really sorry its dumb, but. I ripped my bluray movie at full 1080p and made it fit to a standard dvd. Then i played it on my ps3, and it looked very good, and i must say me personally could hardly see a difference between my rip and the bluray. Which makes me ask, What is the difference between ripping the movies to a Standard dvd size or DL size?

[Atak_Snajpera]

I would NEVER rip 1080p to 4,37 GB !!! I have simple rule 1080p goes to DVD-DL. 720p goes to DVD-SL. When you shrink 1080p movie to just SL you loose a LOT of fine details!!! Listen to me and don't do it again!

[superhulk]

@ Atak

Cheers for the heads up mate. Was just making sure that was all.

Hi first time posting and new to all this . Thanks for a great guide really helped. Anyway here my problem. First film i backed up and converted using ripbot went fine no probs cropped is set to automatic and resize to custom 1920x1080. The next film i put in when i cropped and resized it to the same as the first, in preview the audio goes out of sync. This only happens when i resize and crop the film otherwise audio is fine. Any help pls Thanks

[Atak_Snajpera]

your cpu is too slow

[UsR H BOMB]

your cpu is too slow

Thanks for the reply. Iam using a quad core q6700 2.66GHz thought that would be good. I don't really know how to overclock so have left it as i got it. I went on and did the coversion anyway and the audio was ok. Is there any easy way to overclock my processor.
Thanks again

I have been reading this thread over and over others had posted about the problem im having but still i cannot resolve it.
The problem im having is with ripbot264 i rip the movie with anydvd hd to hdd (EAGLE EYE) then open 00000.m2ts
it goes through the demuxing process 100% but then immediately opens media player classic and says the codec was not found. 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.
I have tried deleting all installed codecs, powerdvd, windvd, uninstall avisynth, ffdshow, and haai splitter Then reinstalling. I went into ffdshow settings and switched vc-1 to libavcodec. Also made sure i checked them during install. Heres the log from ripbot264

Installed version 1.13.0. Can't get past the first screen showing required software installs. Says Haali Media Splitter not installed, but it is - Version 1.9.42.1. Can you help me?

[Fiostech]

Same prob, not recognizing haali. Just did a fresh install of vista, nothing else added.

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
