Looks like that's what he meant.

@kilg0r3:
Somebody posted a link to a guide using Real's Helix Producer in this thread:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?threadid=42889

Maybe you'll find that useful.

AutoRV9 is THE tool for DVD-Rip. Give it a try.

**

When RealOne v3 will come out? And what about post-processing?

Very nice codec and a nice player to boot. Much better then old time. The only problem is editing: Not as friendly as Vdub.

The resize function can actually be achieved using ffdshow resize function; However, rv9 has built-in flag to activate the resizing property automatically to any size: This is a nice option indeed. I do believe divx 5.02 has that functionality built-in as well in their encoder. Perhaps someday xvid dev team will have that option as well in their encoder.

Most private development GUI's for RV9 currently only support DVD->RM, which does not leave much for this AVI capture enthusiast; Notepad and batch file will have to do for now, until I break down and re-install c++ builder

I am very impress with the encoder quality and the playback capabilities of realone. I have major decoding issues with my old laptop (K6-2 433Mhz) when using divx/xvid. However, Realone plays back the encoded 624x432->aRS->704x480 flawlessly, and at full screen to boot. Details do tend to smear a bit but not that critical. I rather see a little smear than macroblocks.

There is another french tool (is RV9 french ? ) that is very interesting. You can find it on www.lalternative.org, his name is x2real 0.3

It supports avi.

I think the avi supports will come in Autorv9 1.3.

@31 Flavas

We have maid french guide of Autorv9 and italian, on www.formidable.fr.st, there is an english guide for Autorv9 on http://www.eclipsedvd.firstream.net/...de/AutoRV9.htm

If someone wants to make a traduction, it will be a pleasure to share with you.

@kilg0r3

There is a way for playing RV9 on mediaplayer classic of gabest (6.4.2.0)on http://vobsub.edensrising.com/ without installing Realone player and all these spyware. On my website you can find at http://www.formidable.firstream.net/...titleA&show=10 named "pack damrod" that only install dll necessary for playing RV9 without installing realone.

Sorry for my bad english

Hi there,
After you are logged in, there's a link on the front page, upper left corner, called "Binaries". This will take you to the list of available pre-built binaries. You have to agree to one of the Helix licenses and the binary EULA to get access.

Hi

I've just reinstalled Windows 2000 SP3, DirectX 9, ATI Radeon 8500LE, and on realmedia clips there is green stuff moving on the overlay area. I have no problem with DivX or XviD encode.

Any idea?

[edit]

Also, with RealVideo 8, there is no such problem... strange!

[edit2]

When I use Accelerated Video + no overlay, it's ok. But, with Acc. Video and overlay, it's green.

I have catalyst 3.0 :'(

i am not sure, but i have seen the latest ATI drivers (catalyst 3.0) having some similar sounding problems playing back RealVideo. It goes away if I Stop and Play again, or if I change overlay type (which you unfortunately can not do). If so, this is an ATI driver problem, and I will report it through the right channels.

Karl, I have exactely the same problem and I'm using exactely the same video drivers as Sirber.

But I just don't mind not pushing the video accel bar to the right. Still, it would be great if you guys or ATI solved this problem.

I didn't know if it was just something with my computer or the drivers or RealPlayer until you posted this.

I have a similar problem, I have a radeon 9700 and am using cat 3.0 drivers. Overlay realtext subtitles won't display when used with .rmvb files, but will work with .rm files. These subtitles worked (displayed) with prior drivers though.

i don't know which other problems the catalyst 3.0 drivers might have, but they certainly don't work for regular playback where the frame buffers being displayed contain the wrong data, i.e. garbage or previous frames (unless you Stop and Play, which should not really be necessary).

I have started the process of escalating the problem, and ATI should know about it by the end of the day.

Until ATI can fix their drivers, there's not much else we can do, than to suggest you downgrade ATI drivers, and/or contact ATI. (I have verified that Catalyst 2.3 works fine). ATI's release cycle is much faster than ours. For reasons I am sure you understand, we do not want to auto-update more than absolutely necessary.

@kilg0r3:

1: I believe rmeditor (as done by AutoRV9) is the standard, and probably also the only way to split RM files.

2: turn off overlay, just like you have to do in all players using optimized video playback. This, however, makes playback more CPU intensive, and the decoder might go into CPU scalability mode, where it will introduce some shortcuts to speed up decoding, which may affect video quality. So, for both RealVideo, and other formats, you are not guaranteed to get a true representation of the actual video quality, but if you have a fast enough system, it should be pretty close.

3: ffdshow, no.

4: probably already answered (Media Player Classic)

5: not sure about this one - what is your video card and screen refresh rate?

6: again, not sure, but it could be the rate control and all those black frames. Why don't you instead 'trim' the video such that the black frames are not included in the encode?

Hope this helps.

The Media Player Classic with RV9 codec is doing a great job for playing RMVB. It has no post-processing, which makes the video less blurry.

no post processing?? I thought the post processing is done inside the decoder rather then the player in real one....

Latest news on the ATI driver bug

Latest news on the ATI driver bug:

ATI has isolated the problem in their drivers and is working on a fix.
I will let you know as soon they provide a public release timeframe for an updated driver; they typically run a three week update cycle, so hopefully this fix will get into the very next update.

Thanks for alerting us to this problem, so we could get in touch with ATI.
