RVX will be RV9 + EHQ?

Not too sure. I had the privelage of coming across Karl's roommate in a random IRC chat one day, so I got a bit of a personal Q&A. I asked about RV10 and Karl said they weren't really focused on it yet because RV9 with EHQ was so much better and almost like a completely different codec.

It's anybody's guess I suppose :]

There seems to have been an update allowing for EHQ in milestone 8.

[edit]scratch that, the update was just karl's twopass updates. Stevemc screwed up :P[/edit]

yes, updates made too late at night without enough communication can sometimes result in not very useful results. Producer M7 + VBR fix is still the recommended encoding combination.

EDIT:

i created another erv4 (RV9) encoder DLL to replace the patch, that
remaps and corrects the complexity levels such that

M8 complexity notation -> M7 complexity notation

high -> very-high
medium -> normal
low -> fast

in this way, Milestone 8 with this patch, now allows for both the
latest 2-pass VBR improvements + very high encoding complexity.

Notes:
without this patch, the complexity levels in M8 are like this

high (default) -> normal
medium -> fast
low -> fast

That was beocz i was boring and spread a bit of rumors. I do believe Rv10 should be in development ( at least on paper ) but i really don't think they would come out so soon.

Considering that there are other little improvement hopefully karl said b4 that is coming up. I belive Rv9 still has some time b4 it goes.

To me, i am very happy with my anime rips with VBR fix and EHQ at my current bitrate. And with some of the upcoming enhancement i believe Rv9 's best has yet to be seen.

( And with Gabest ' MPC and Mkv format Rv9 is simply the best. )

When encoding using producer.exe i get the error
"Warning: Channel 0 clips moderately."
What does that mean and how can I stop it from happening?
Thanks.

@Sirber: Is there a link to the most current binary of SurrealUI.exe because the link at http://sirber.no-ip.com/~sirber/SurrealUI.exe seems to be down.

Warning: Channel 0 clips moderately
information from producer mailing list, where this question was just asked:

Those messages are warning from one of the audio checks producer does.
We call these audio watchdogs. You can find more information about the
audio watchdogs in the Producer help page by typing 'producer -m' and
looking at the "-daw" option and reading about the 4 audio watchdog
checks that producer does.

In particular, it looks like your audio signal is too loud and is
clipping.

IIRC, sound goes out if it'S range, like if you normalize too much.

clipping is a well known digital audio problem when the levels are too loud. Imagine a nice smooth sine wave getting clipped off, ending up with square form instead. This sounds very bad. As long as you are encoding from a file, don't worry about this warning, especially, when it's only "moderate". Producer has a gain control pre-filter with a high quality limiter, if you need to reduce the input levels before compression.

ICL 7.1

in other news, upcoming RV9 encoder DLLs (erv4.dll) will be compiled with the Intel Compiler (ICL) version 7.1, which we have now finally fully integrated in our build system. Previously, only certain files were compiled with this compiler, since MSVC 6.0 did not support the required inline asm code.

Since all CPU intensive code is already fully assembler optimized, the improvement is around 5%. Still, worth including, just by changing the compiler (anything to switch from [...])

There is also some good news about the RV9 encoder speed on new hyper-threaded CPUs from Intel, but more about that later.

Any news about AMD 3DNOW implementation?

[/joke]

I can't wait to try it

No specific AMD improvements, but since AMD without SSE2 is slower in EHQ mode than a P4, this improvement should be very useful:

OGM --> RMVB bug

Hi

the splitter from the first pass isn't closed, so there is 2 splitter loaded in the second pass.

[edit]

With RealAnime, I can't encode 2-3 OGM in a row. Producer IDLE coz old splitter are still active.

Bug report

producer fail to encode a file with "&" in it's name

[edit]

about the last OGM bug, I'll use AVISynth so everything will be ok.

@Karl

Could it be possible to have settings for:

1) Force "keep high freq"
2) Force minimal bitrate

Thanks!!!

@Sirber: that's a good suggestion... I will maybe not add exactly those settings, but perhaps a new "high bitrate" mode, where the codec's adaptivity is less aggressive, specifically for B frames, and choice of quantizers. This adaptivity was previously tuned for medium to low bitrates.

Producer 10 doc

128 Kbps Stereo Music - RealAudio 10 raac 0 44.1 kHz RealPlayer 8
64 Kbps Stereo Music - RealAudio 10 raac 0 44.1 kHz RealOne Player

Might be a bug, cause Codec Flavor is the same for 2 different setting...

i think it's normal since producer.exe is a cmdline soft no?

when i launche producer i use " in my cmdline

"c:\producer\producer.exe" -i "c:\test;avs" -o "c:\test.rmvb" ....
