RipBot - Convert videos to mkv, mp4 or avchd

The RipBot is a video converter which converts nearly any video format into mkv or mp4 or avchd format in Microsoft Windows OS. So that you can save your videos and movies with the same quality but use less space on your hard disk.

  • RipBot is not required to be installed, it is to be used directly by double clicking the RipBot.exe file. Just extract the .7z file in the appropriate location.
  • There are 4 codecs which are essential to ensure that RipBot executes, theses are:
  • --"AviSynth" - Open source frame server. http://avisynth.org/

  • --"Haali media splitter" - Adds support for .mkv, .mp4, .ts, .ogm in Windows. http://haali.net/mkv/

  • Take care you install the correct version, or the latest version of the codecs. After you make sure that you have the above four installed in your OS, double click on "RipBot264.exe" to start the converter.
