@Sirber: Maybe this is a silly question, but why use this FreePascal or whatever the name of the langauge was? You're moving from a weird language to another weirder. C/C++ is standard for most apps, then VB and maybe Delphi, but why this new language? Wouldn't it be easier to use another, like the good old Delphi? |

FreePascal can compile and run on all major operating system, with no fancy coding. It's as easy as Delphi to code, since as Delphi, it is Pascal. Currently Bencos gets more successful encodes than RealAnime.
Also, before trying Lazarus, I tried C# (xAnime), mono (unsuccessful) and RealBasic. Also, like all my project, whatever the language I use, I always end up being the only one coding it.

I sense the problem you see is that C/C++ may be cross-platform, but with a lot of it would require a lot of seperate coding for GUI on different platforms? And maybe it's just too complicated for you? / Or you just don't think it's easy enough to be worth the time?
But maybe and just maybe you might get more to join in? Don't know. So where's Sharktooth? Hiding in the shadows? What I'd really like right now is to save the encoding list (which you mentioned could be fixed easily? Terrific!) and less problems with those sources that aren't haven't the right Audio Frequency (< 44 HKz?). It may just be me, but it seems you've just started over with new versions of your GUI from ground up with little changes. Ah well, Bencos is doing its job, so I guess that's good. You're still doing a good job and there are those who like your software. |

I think you are ranting because I don't release builds fast enough. Better stop coz it is going nowhere but on my nerves.

5 hours? Probably takes longer since I do a lot of advanced stuff. Sure, I could get a working GUI in 5 hours if I wanted to. And I don't have Linux and I don't use it, so I can't really comment on whether it'd work there. And I don't do builds for Linux either. I use Windows. But doesn't there exist... say, Wine? Quote:

Sure, to save the encoding list would be nice so you don't have to re-add everything all the time would be nice, but the program still works even without it. Hey, prioritize and take your time to code the thing. Releases are exciting. That's all. |

Thanks for explaining, I guess I mis-interpreted your posts

No problem.
Remember that news about dev is also interesting, so that's another thing to keep one interested rather than a release Real life is import, and so is being able to do other things, so you should do well to take your time. I know this lesson well, and I respect it. I respect authors of programs. You will release when you think it's time |

I post dev news and stuff in my own forum, as well as bugs and problem I and users encounter.

I want a calculator that I could drop 1.000.000.000 episodes to it, insert the total size I wanted and it'd give me the bitrate I had to use for every episodes, not for a single file and I don't want to calculate manually (45500GB*1024*1024*8)/lenght (in seconds, more stuff to calculate) - 32kbps for audio to know the video bitrate I have to use for 45500GB... Quote:
Some animes have the same length for every episodes, some have very different durations. If there is 90 episodes of ~23-24 minutes, the quality will be better than 90 of ~24-25:30min. For ~30 minutes series, 55.8-9MB each - 80/DVD. The same for series, 149.1MB for 30 episodes. That's my point: if I calculate bitrate for each file separately, long eps would be worst than short eps; if I use the same bitrate, I could lose a significant space in a DVD. I like to use every single byte in mines, I like to have full seasons of series/animes on them, I'm very precise with all this, and I had no problem until now...

I do use constant bitrate. Like I said before, the only thing I do is to calculate bitrate for various episodes at once, assuring that 90 eps will fit in 4.37GB. The same bitrate is used for them, something between 268-255kbps, depending on the total length (if I mix some small episodes with big ones, bitrate will be balanced ). In the end, some episodes are 51MB, some 47.6MB. The quality is always good.

Ah, I mis-understood! You're trying to mix long and short episodes so there will be 90 episodes on a DVD... pretty clever!
And you need a calc to know that X episodes of Y bitrate and Z episodes of A bitrate, etc, etc you must use to make sure you get 90 episodes and they take up just enough space to fill a DVD... |

yes, be sure to run as administrator though. Else try RealAnime 6 (nothing special to do).
They will run in 32bit though.

diggin' out this thread
I'm playing around with flash for a while now. As it is the de facto webvideo standard at the moment I'm always looking around for some good encoding tools. with AutoMen it is very easy to create flash videos even for novices but there is one disadvantage of AutoMen. It does rely on MEncoder and don't uses vfw. Even though the result is really impressive as MEncoder is only able to encode to FLV1 (Flash 6). Than your RealAnime 6 came back into my mind and I remember you saying that maybe RealAnime will be the first free FLV batch encoder as you could integrate On2's VP6 VFW Codec - which is FLV4 (Flash 8) and uses VP62 Heightened Sharpness Profile. I guess the last free (for personal use) version floating around is "VP6 vfw Codec 6.4.2.0". As sh0dan said no one knows why it is no longer offerered at On2's website, it is still possible to find it Speaking of sh0dan brings up his interesting blog articel. He's showing how to encode Flash 8 FLV via Command Line. Well, that works very, very well quality wise as I have tried it out here. But it is a bit tedious if you ask me... even though better than nothing, as it works. As developement of RealAnime 6 is dead (?) do you think you could nonetheless spend some time integrating FLV4 (Flash 8) via On2's VP6 VFW Codec into BENCOS? If not you in person maybe one of the other developers of BENCOS? I guess I would not be the only one looking forward seeing a FLV4 (Flash 8) encoder suite all others cost $$ (Flix Pro for example)... thanks in advance / sill

VP6 VFW is not properly easy to configure since it stores the codec configuration in binary format into the registry.

@sillKotscha
No one devs bencos or ra6 beside me. Sharktooth left long ago whitout news. About VP6, I tried to find a way to modify the settings in the registry, but I don't have the struct and it's hard for nothing.
