AutoRV10 (Avisynth + RealProducer10 + Besweet) Beta Version !!!

[Dark-Cracker]

Hi,

i have modified my tool (autodub) to make a gui for the Realvideo 10.0

AutoRV10 is a tool to automate the RV10 Encoding.

it support , 1Pass or 2Pass (both) can shutdown you computer
calculate the bitrate needed, support .AC3, .MPA, .WAV and .PCM file input
and start the audio encode process to create a stereo .WAV file (using besweet).

Support .D2V as input file and create the Avisynth project file support
for the crop/resize filter and some extra filter (for anime) like Warpshap, 2D Cleaner
or SmarthSmoother, and some generic filter (Change color and noise reduction).

support 2 audio streams.
support external subtitles.
create .smil file for launch subs and audio.
can split the movie to the desired size
and encode endcredits separately (quality % mode)

Of course this tool work under Win9x/ME, Win2k, WinXP.

Great tool AutoRV10 is, thanks :)

Just a quick question though - does AutoRV10 follow a W-mod 4 x H-mod 4? I've read about DivX/XviD being affected in terms of compressibility if you use anything other than 16 Mod.

Is RV10 affected in any way by the Modul you use?

[karl_lillevold]

This is the new and clean AutoRV10 thread. Please continue the discussion here.

[#2]

Hi DC. I get a runtime error 13 type mismatch if I accidently delete all the numbers in the Bitrate Calculator size field.

[#2]

It also seems to forget to add Import("F:\Autorv10\SOFTS\AVSFILE\SCRIPT\FIELDORDER.AVS") to the avs script so I get Script error: there is no function named "FieldOrder"

[#2]

Also still can't select which job to delete. It alway just deletes the first one. Which makes it quite scary after adding many diferently configured jobs. If you get one setting wrong... :)

[Dark-Cracker]

Hi,

i have solve theses 3 problems, no more error if bitrate is empty.
the fieldorder was missing if you are using the kerneldeint deinterlacer.
now the delete job remove the selected job.

I have made a silent update, you can find the fixed .exe at the same url in the first post.

PS : the output and input tab will soon be have some cosmetic improvements :)

Bye.

[#2]

Awsome!
Thanks DC :)

[#2]

Hi DC. I get a runtime error '35600' Index out of bounds crash when I add job if I set end credits.

Using US english regional settings

[Dark-Cracker]

i have fix the bug it will be available as soon as i release the next build.

Hello DC,

Thx for your works on autoRV10. But I found some problems that the dvddecryper is work not working with the autoRV10 interface. Therefore I would like to suggest in step using dvddecrypter. Can you interface read the .ifo & .vob directly ( remarks: .vob file better support over 1G from harddisk)

Therefore is another problem. as .ifo file says that 720x480. but the .vob file is 853x480 (1.78:1, 16:9 japanese HDTV size down from 720p/1080i). Therefore if your autoRV10 can handle that will be great.

Ciao,

ibear :devil: :devil: :devil:

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

first thank u for your interest in my software :)
second, i have a low english skill and i don't fully understand all your sentences, can you please try to explain me what you understand by :

But I found some problems that the dvddecryper is work not working with the autoRV10 interface.

which problem ? i still need to work on this part so if you have some bugreport this could help me to improve this part.

Therefore I would like to suggest in step using dvddecrypter

what does mean "in step" is it eaqual to "stop" ?

Can you interface read the .ifo & .vob directly ( remarks: .vob file better support over 1G from harddisk)


I suppose you mean , that it's a better idea to directly read the vob and copy from the DVD to harddisk ?
if it's what you mean, in fact i can't do that because there is some protection on the DVD .vob file and i use dvddecrypter to remove them and copy the new uncrypted .vob file on the harddisk.

Therefore is another problem. as .ifo file says that 720x480. but the .vob file is 853x480 (1.78:1, 16:9 japanese HDTV size down from 720p/1080i).

is it an anamorphic DVD ? i was not aware there could have some resolution like 853x480 in the dvd spec, if you could provide me a sample (with the .ifo file too) i think i can try to see if i could handle better support for such dvd.
(if you have subtitle in the .vob it's even better i will check if there are handle correctly).

but does some other player see them as 853x... or 720x... ? and which resolution does dvd2avi see the .vob file ? and which resolution autorv10 show u when u open the .d2v file ?

PS : have you try to set the aspect ratio at 1:1 in the video tab panel ? and which resoltion are you waiting for the output ?

Bye.

[ibear]

Hello DC,

I think something wrong with my louzy english. I think I need to tell you one by one. For the dvddecryper packing with your software. When I insert the DVD disc. Your software give me this error message (see the attachment)

Ciao,

ibear

[ibear]

Hello DC,

My second problem is that. In step of rip .ifo & .vob file from DVD disc. Can you add one option that read .ifo & .vob files from harddisk. Because I already have a DVDripper software in the harddisk. And also when I rip the video from DVD disc the .ifo & .vob file in the harddisk most of them are over 1G. In my experience not much software can read / support .ifo & .vob file over 1G.

Ciao,

ibear

[ibear]

Hello DC,

Here is the third problem, I have NTSC DVD. The content of this DVD is 16:9 TV program the Aspect Ratio is 1.78:1. As I know that the NTSC DVD is 720x480 ( AR 1.33:1) it will look like Letterboxed. If I only want to encode 16:9 the Aspect Ratio is 1.78:1 is it possible to do that !?

Ciao,

ibear

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

now your answer are more clear for me thx :)

1)
for the error #6 (when the ripper open the DVD) could you plz add in a .zip file all the .ifo file that are in the DVD, i think one of them produce an error in my ifo parser. (send them at : darkcracker#caramail.com replace #=>@ and put the word "autorv10" in the mail subject).

2)
could you plz explain me why you want to open directly the .ifo file from your hardisk ? instead of made (manually) the .d2v file using dvd2avi and opening the .d2v later ?
could u give me more informations why you want such feature.

3) for the 1.78 ratio i don't have see such dvd (like yours wih 853 resolution), i am not sure how to encode them, i think perhaps the right way is to open you video, crop the black border, select the ratio 1:1 and resize the video.

if you provide me a sample with the .ifo file i could perhaps try to see how to handle this.

Bye.

Normally I didn't change any thing from DVD rip. Yeap you are right I can do dvd2avi. first of all it need more time and need to have video codec too. Another reason I also have mepg2 video from my DVcam.

Ciao,

ibear

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

i have try your .ifo file and i have no problem to read it, do you have only 1 ifo file in the DVD ? else be sure you send me ALL the ifo file that are on your DVD disc it's surely another .ifo file who have a problem.

Bye.

I think I need to send you again. I will send the .ifo file from DVD disc. Sorry about that.

Hi DC. I'm still useing and enjoying your tool. But there are 2 quite big bugs.

- Crashes every time I use "set end credits" (runtime error '35600' Index out of bounds crash)

- Runtime error 6 overflow when ever I try to encode to a size over 2200MB. It allways crashes at the beining of the second pass.

Both of these happen on 2 different machines.

I hope you can release 'final' version with these fixed. Right now I have to do 2 or 3 partial d2v projects and then join them to encode a large source.

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

oups i have forgot to release a build with the first bug reported a lot time ago.
for the second bug could you plz post the settings [advanced] used in the codec setting panel ? and attach the .pass file used for the second pass.

i will post a bug free release during the weekend.

Bye.

[#2]

Thanks DC :)

Advanced codec settings: (default with curve aggression set to 'Slow')

I've attached the .task file for this as well.

[Dark-Cracker]

Hi,

i have upload a fixed .exe file you can find the AutoRV10.exe file here, just replace you old .exe with the news one.
Post a msg if this solve your problem.

PS : remember you can resume your first pass encode when you are on the "Add job" window.

http://dark.pluridis.org/AutoRV10_Fix.zip

Enjoy !

EDIT : @ #2 i supose you can now remove the attachement it surely take place for nothing :)
EDIT : changed with the correct url (sorry)

Bye.

[#2]

This has fixed the end credits issue. I'll let you know as soon as possible about the large file size issue.
EDIT: It seems the last bug is fixed. I can restart with the pass file.

BTW I found the exe at http://dark.pluridis.org/AutoRV10_Fix.zip

Cheers DC.

[karl_lillevold]

I am trying to backup a movie, but I am getting Run-Time Error '35600' Index out of bounds.

I am not including audio. It is 4:3, letterbox, I crop and resize to 640x272, Medium Flux filter, latest version of AutoRV10. That's all. And I am using Credits options at a certain frame number.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

Bug seems to be fixed with the latest update in your post above. Sorry I did not try this. Now the encoding is running with the same settings as quoeted. Thanks!

[har-vas]

Hello all. I am using RealProducer 11. DC, I see your program and I like it! Especially the second audio track (but how is implemented?), chapters and enc credits separately features. Previously, I was making my back-ups using (as RP's input) a simple avs script like this:

LoadPlugin("C:\...\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\...\NicAudio.dll")
audio=NicAC3Source("I:\...\Ripper T01 3_2ch 448Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3")
video=MPEG2Source("I:\...\Ripper.d2v",idct=5).Crop(2,0,-2,-2)
audiodub(video,audio)
trim(0,159670)
Lanczos4Resize(716,524)

Today, I read your guide and I started an encoding. First of all, I think that many options and settings of the AutoRV10need an explanation in the guide (or a better one if an explanation exists). But now I can't come into detail. I will ask many things later, if I see that this thread is alive. Excellent tool, but it really needs a thorough and fresh documentation. Here is my main problem: When the Besweet ended its job, this error message appeared (see my screenshot "Failure to initialize audience with updated codecs..."). Is the program compatible with RealProducer 11? Will you continue the development and support? Thanks.

[Dark-Cracker]

Hi,

Yes you are right the guide/faq and explainations need to be updates but i don't have much time, because i start to be busy IRL.
but i still find some time to work on AutoRV10, i am actually totaly rewritten the audio part, and the thread is still alive but recently there have been not bug report or features request :)

for your problem i will wait to see the capture, and i will redo a test with RP11 (i think i have latest version).

But perhaps you don't have the latest AAC+ codec (present on the helix site).

i will check this tonight and add a fix to avoid such problem.
But there will not be a realease until i finish the rewrite of the audio part.

Have a good day.
Bye.

PS : if you have some motivation to update the guide/faq...etc feel free to share it in this thread :)

[har-vas]

Hi. I can't wait anymore for this approval. I have uploaded the screenshot here: http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/6740/autorv10errorjk6.jpg
1) Can you take a look to that error?
2) I have entered the paths to producer 11 and rmeditor 11 (C:\Program Files\Real...). I am telling this because I see that you also give these programs with your software (C:\Program Files\Autorv10\Softs...). Which one should I use? Why the need for your programs? It's supposed that AutoRV10 can also work without RealProducer, using these executables?
3) I have also updated DVD Decrypter, DGIndex and DGDecode.dll in their latest versions. I hope to work fine.
4) How can I check if I have installed the AAC+ codec? Where can I download it? In Helix community website I found only other software (Player, DNA client etc). Thanks.

PS1: What is this IRL you mentioned?
PS2: Anyway, I believe that only the developer who knows every option can write a good documentation. His audience can only help him with feedback, suggestions, questions and of course donations! Maybe I could work in a greek translation although!

[PatchWorKs]

AutoTheora/Snow would be great... 8)

[Dark-Cracker]

hi

@patchworks
yes it could be great but i have not really much time for this porject :) but perhaps later ;)

@har-vas

i have check for the problem but i couldn't reproduce it :( which producer version do you use ? the realproducer 11 pro ? or the helixcommunity version ? (the basic version doesn't work with job file)

you could try to post the .rpjf file to see which audio codec you have try to use.

for information the AAC audio pack is here : https://helix-producer.helixcommunity.org/downloads.htm

and you need to have the aac and racp.dll file.

PS : IRL mean In Real Life.
PS2 : there shouldn't have any problem with the dgindex..etc updated version.

Bye.

[#2]

Hi DC. Your program is working well here with all updated exe and librarys includeing producer 11 plus. I'm still useing your alternative Scaling Mode and Light Auto Calculation, Slow Curve Agression for two pass VBR, high bit rate encodes (2500+ average kbps) Useing First Pass Higher Complexity and 100 E.H.Q.

--Do these settings still work with the latest producer 11 and are they still optimal for it?

--Still useing the remove grain filter and a Light Xsharpen for most streams. Do you still recomend this and are they worth upgrading?

I still prefer this to AVC codecs for high bit rates. :)

Hope to see an update soon.

[killerhex]

anyone have mirrors for this the host for the files went down

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

@#2
yep it work like a cham with thoses settings :) i will try to publish a release soon :)

@killerhex
Sorry i have some problems with my host i will try to solve this as soon as possible, and i can't post a mirror for the moment sorry.

Bye.

[har-vas]

Hi again.
1) DC, could you please answer to my question #2?
2) As for the racp.dll file, I have it inside the codecs folder (under Rp9_Light). It's 533 KB. Does this means that I have it installed or should I register something? In the link you gave me, the "aac add-on" is the same file for versions 10 and 11. Is this a link error in the helix website? I don't understand. I have also two aac.dll files (892 KB).
3) I have tried with both RealProducer Plus and Helix Community version (giving the relative paths to the program). After the BeSweet encode, the error message is exactly the same, except from the path to the CodecMapping.txt file. See my attachment. I feel very frustrated, because my encode cannot even start! Now I believe that there is something wrong with my settings.
4) Could you please write a new detailed documentation? There are so many choices and settings, which I don't know anything about them. What about tips on-mouse-over in the next version?
5) I don't know why, but despite the fact that I always use 2-pass VBR, the Average bitrate is always the same (in fact, 1 kbps less) with the Maximum bitrate (in the Codec tab). Why is that? Thanks.

PS: My next thought is to try using your "RealProducer light" version, which comes with AutoRV10XP. I am not optimistic although. If that fall over too, I will describe with screenshots all my settings. What can I say...

[smok3]

can somebody please fix download links or trash this thread?

how can i make this mux into mkv

[DarkZell666]

AutoRV10 is a RealVideo GUI, not designed for MKV.

You can simply use mkvtoolnix, choose the rmvb file you created as input, and click "start muxing" at the bottom.

Thanks for the archive.org link. I have (finally) included this in the first post in this thread.

[karl_lillevold]

Hmm, it seems the archive.org zip files are corrupted.

If anyone knows if AutoRV10 with the latest update (b8) is hosted anywhere, please post it here.

[Dark-Cracker]

i can't get in toutch with my webmaster :(, so if someone know where i can host the binaries, i will be glad to upload them again, and post the new release too :)

Bye.

[DarkZell666]

@Dark-Cracker: check your PM's ;)

[Dark-Cracker]

hi everybody :)

sorry for the long time without news :) i was busy with my job, however i still work sometimes on autorv10.

here is a new release with a few bugfix and a rewritten audio part with better support for DTS streams, and no more problems with tempory audio file bigger than 2gb.

http://benjapi.free.fr/autorv10/downloads/AutoRV10_v1.1.zip

you can see a picture of the new audio part here :

http://benjapi.free.fr/autorv10/downloads/picture/autorv10_audio.JPG

there is probably a few bugs introduced with the audio changes so feel free to report bugs or improvement request.

Bye.

[Dark-Cracker]

Hi,

Does some people are interested in a better support of HD source (Blu-Ray, HDTV, HDDVD) in autorv10 ?

If you have some suggestion, request on HD support feel free to post them i will try to see how i could add this.

Bye.

[karl_lillevold]

This looks very interesting. I will try it out as soon as I can.

One question: in your audio screenshot, the source file is a WAV file. If you choose an AC3 file, will this then be included in the Avisynth script for encoding, without first transcoded to WAV?

I wish there had been a way to easily mux AC3 into the RM file, but for this purpose one probably still has to use Matroska..

[Dark-Cracker]

yes if you choose and AC3 or DTS file autorv10 will use the NicAudio plugin to open it directly from the .avs file no more tempory wav file. And of course you could still apply some transformation like to downmix the 5.1ch file to a 2.0 channel file and also the possibility to upmix a 2.0 file in a 5.1ch audio stream.
And you also have an audio preview in stereo mode.

I have made a bunch of tests but if you found a strange beheviours feel free to post a msg :)

Bye.

does AutoRV10 not support mp3 audio ?
When I input a mp3 audio and click "play" button, it said
m2AudioMPASource: MPEG Layer III is not yet supported

Nice tool mate, just gave it a test run. However I think I may have stumbled onto a bug. I added an AC3 audio file to mux at the end, and it didn't mux :(, I did add ac3enc.dll just in case it needed that to mux the audio file in. I shall have to try muxing in an mp3 next time, but for now Im going to persevere with adding on this ac3. Any thoughts anyone?

Thought this might be some good info to share with this thread. Thanks to a mr. gastorgrab, there is a way of adding audio to RMVB files with the use of virtualdubmod!

for this you will need:

1 virtualdubmod (a recent version should be used for muxing in audio)
2 AVISynth (I don't think it matters how recent the version is)
3 RealAlternative media splitter fully installed

In the virtualdubmod program folder, there is a directory named "Templates", which is filled with .avst files.

You will need to create a .avst file with notepad, that looks like this:

#ASYNTHER RealMedia 23.976fps
[DirectShowSource("%f",23.976)]


The movies frame rate is important as virtualdubmod will now only open RMVB files with a frame rate of 23.976, however this can be changed to suit your needs. When I am done here, I intend on creating template .avst files for all frame rates.

Now startup VirtualDubMod -> File -> Open video file.
Select to view all files, then at the bottom left of the window, a click down menu will be available to you. Select the template you just created then continue to open our desired RMVB file.

From after opening your RMVB vid, audio can be muxed in.

Let me know how this works for you guys.


EDIT. Im having trouble with muxing in using direct stream, seems to be un-compressing the RMVB file, find a way of integrating the RMVB codec into virtualdubmod to get keep the file compressed by the looks of things.

MKVMerge GUI muxes audio into RMVB files, although the output file is MKV. Good thing is there's no change to the quality of the video during the process, so a success!... am I the only person viewing this thread these days?

More probably. Most of people have moved to H.264 some years ago. Better quality, better compatibility and faster playback.

Unfortunately this is not the truth. In my coutry many people are still using Easy RealMedia Producer and this helps rmvb to dominate videos over Internet.

Yes x264 can beat rv10 qualitywise but there is no "Easy MP4 Producer". ERP or RealProducer itsself contains video/audio filters, rv40 encoder, aac/he-aac encoder and rm muxer. It uses directshow to decode and does not require .NET, avisynth or anything not shipped with Windows.

Well Asia, especially CJK, are still using a lot of RV10

I have my theory about why RV10 is popular in Asia.
White and yellow people have different visual perception and also different genetic vision defects.

For example 80% of Chinese have myopia (at least -0.5 dpt). It's my case too as I'm half blood asian. I don't see difference without glasses between H.264 and RV10 at distance more than 1m.

While myopia hasn't massive character for white people but hyperopia which origins preferences for more details (even maybe with some slight artifacts)

Very interesting theory. Though I believe RV10 is popular here because it is easier to create and play. Compared to the crappy vfw encoders (DivX and xvid), RealProducer wins on both convenience and quality. When x264 was born rmvb had already conquer the internet.

Yes. i think rmvb is still relatively good at smaller bitrate compare to x264. Especially for anime.
