Ripping Blu-Rays II - Page 71

I also recently ripped Oceans 13 BR to movie-only folder structure, and noticed the subtitle issue you mentioned (track 14 empty, no forced subs), but didn't notice it being 13 hrs long. I'll try to re-check in the next couple days.

Thank you. How is it more reliable? For Blu-ray and DVD which one would you recommend?

Thanks. Please let me know what you find out.

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone know which version of.NET framework is needed for Suprip to work? I am running XP Professional. I ask because I remember reading many years ago certain programs run only on certain frameworks.

Here you go.

Install which ever it needs. It should prompt you if you don't have it.

 

You can install more than one .Net Framework ... they work in parallel to each other ... each called as needed.

Thanks guys. I'll try by installing 1.1 and if that fails 2.0, etc.

Sorry for the delay.
So my wife and I watched Oceans 13 last week. I can confirm that my rip also says it's 13 hrs long but I've no idea why. And the only forced subs are when they're speaking spanish in the Mexican dice factory but the subs are "burned" into the video, not a separate track. Maybe the Forced Subs thread and Google spreadsheet could be updated?
I'm going to assume the 13 hrs and empty subs track are just sloppy authoring errors but they don't seem to affect anything, it still ripped and played fine.

Nelson, thanks for the update buddy. Much appreciated.

Hi Guys
My Samsung bluray optical drive is dying and looking for a good replacement
I need it to rip only and a internal drive
Would appreciate any ideas on a good one
thanks

I've always used the LG BD burners and have been very pleased with their performance, price and longevity.

I use Samsung, LG, and Lite-On. I have at least two of each. They have all worked very well for me. But occassionally I will run into a disc that one or two brands will not rip. But for those problems discs I've always had at least one brand that was able to complete the rip.

Thanks guys
bought a liteon today and very quiet
Both my friend and I started having similar issues with our samsungs within the last 2 weeks
We are thinking maybe an update in win7 might be the culprit
I had no trouble ripping with dvdfab on my laptop and that is XP
Have kept both the samsung and new liteon in my pc
will do some more testing tomorrow
thanks

Has anyone here built a machine solely for ripping blu-rays? I'm attempting this and could use some help in the matter. I have an old machine that was used as a HTPC which I've converted for this purpose. It currently has 3 BD drives (which I'd like to expand to 4) and a separate HDD for each drive to write to. I've installed a separate version of Clown_BD on each HDD. I've run into a few issues doing this and could use some advice.

1) It doesn't seem like this is saving me any time. If I rip 2 discs at a time, it takes twice as long, per disc, than just ripping one. If I rip 3 discs at once, it takes 3 times as long, per disc. What's limiting this and is there anything I can do to fix this?

2) Clown_BD has run into all kinds of issues having multiple copies open. Quite often, it seems like one copy will revert back to the settings of one that was already open and the paths will get crossed. Before beginning a rip, I am having to go back and verify all options so that it points to its own version of eac3to, imgburn, tsmuxer. Not sure if I'm explaining this correctly, but here's an example. I have 3 copies of clown_bd (c:\clown, d:\clown, e:\clown). Each one is directed to use a path on it's associated HDD for the associated programs (ie c:\clown uses c:\tsmuxer, c:\eac3to, and c:\imgburn) and also rips the disc to the same drive (c:\movies). The problem I'm running into is that having 3 versions open at the same time, and they're all pointed to different directories (c:\clown might be using d:\eac3to, for example). Any ideas on this?

Are the all the hard drives optical drives possibly sharing the same bus or something? I can rip four titles concurrently from 2 BD drives connected to USB and two connected to sata ports. As long as I don't have more than two optical drives ripping to one local hard drive, speeds seem to be just as fast as when ripping one title. If I do three titles to one hard drive, when they get up close to their max read speeds, the rips will start to slow down because the buffers all get full.

I really have no idea. What would I need to look for? Everything is connected internally via the motherboard's SATA ports if that helps.

The demux locations are all going to different physical drives and not just a single partitioned drive correct? It's always worth asking, lol.

Bill

Correct

And it's completing successfully but it's just taking a long time to do so?

Bill

Yes, when I had two going at the same time last night, it took a total of 4 hours.

I agree with aaron that is is possibly a bus issue then. Also did you run riplock on the drives to help with the read speeds?

Bill

No, I had no idea what that even was until I just googled it.

I've seen the same thing on my system (I7 quad core, 12GB, W7-64) with Clown_BD. It does not appear to have been written to run concurrent copies of itself in a multi-tasking environment. That is probably why they give you batch functionality. Don't forget it is largely just a shell program that calls independent utilities written by different groups. These utilities are CPU hogs and don't play nice if you try to run concurrent copies. When I'm running a Clown_BD batch, I generally can't do anything else on my machine. Just loading a web page could take 45 sec.

In contrast DVD Fab is made to multi-task and run concurrent copies. I generally have two instances of DVD Fab running to do full-disk BD rips to the same HDD and both run at full speed.

I would suggest you separate the ripping phase from the demuxing and remuxing phase.

Use Imgburn to rip to an ISO image. You can have multiple instances of ImgBurn running (one for each BD drive). Make sure each rip is being written to a separate HD. The BD drives are not fast enough (make sure riplock is removed) to overflow your bus and so all your rips should perform as fast as the BD drive and disc quality allows.

Once you have all your discs as ISO images, then use Virtual CloneDrive to load the images one at a time and use ClownBD to demux and remux. Make sure the ISO image and demux locations are on two different physical HDs. Also, the demux and remux locations should be on two differen physical HDs. ClownBD will read from the ISO image location and write to the demux location. Then it will read from the demux location and write to the remux location. So the read location and write location should never be the same physical HD.

My general impression is that ImbBurn is much better and faster at ripping and ClownBD (eac3to, tsmuxer) is much faster when processing an ISO image than from the actual disc. Overall, the total rip time should be less.

For example to do two 50GB BD disc:

01. Imburn will take about 35-40 minutes for both discs (running currently).
02. ClownBD will take about 15-20 minutes (demux & remux) for each disc image.

Total time for the two 50GB BD discs = 40 + 20 + 20 = 80 minutes

If you're running win7/8 you can run them in compatibility/virtual machine mode. Just make sure you have multiple folders of the app you are trying to run.

I doubt this is a bus issue. I doubt two optical discs can even come close to saturating the bus.

I rather run Clown_BD as a batch. I don't use it for the primary disk rip anyway -- I run 2 instances of DVD Fab for that.

I have reviewed this thread for the past 1hr+ and am still a bit lost as to how to rip BD to a hard drive. Is there a tutorial somewhere that could help guide me or can anyone help get me started?
I have a Denon 4311ci and Oppo BDP-93 Blu Ray player.
I am looking to rip some of my blu-ray movies as well as regular music CD's I own to an external hard drive hooked up to the Oppo for playback.
What Program is best for this task? I would prefer starting with FREE software and Clown BD seems to be the choice of most..the problem I am having is that you also need to use other programs in conjuctions with this and I do not which ones and how?
Also, my thought is to buy a 3TB external drive and just plug it in via USB to the Oppo, is this a good solution?
Thanks....

Since they offer a free trial I suggest getting your feet wet with: http://www.dvdfab.com/tutorial

In any event you WILL need to BUY software to remove the encryption. You could buy AnyDVDHD or DVDFab.

If you rip the full disc understand that newer BD players will have Cinevia built in and if the movie has that on it the ripped movie will not play longer then 45 seconds on your player (if you are looking to rip the full disc bit for bit).

I use ClownBD in conjunction with AnyDVD HD (encryptions removal) 99% of the time. So, you need a software that can removed / disable the DVD / BD encryption prior to being able to rip it. A lot of people use DVDFab too. You can try MakeMKV, which is free while in beta, which can actually do both encryption and ripping.
