RealAnime 4 - General Questions and Troubleshooting Thread

[killerhex]

hey siber can you add this reoslution 592x336 wide into the final version

[Sirber]

hey siber can you add this reoslution 592x336 wide into the final versionOk.

just

for example Naruto Episode 100.avi ("standard" xvid & mp3)

i wanna have an option in RA to disable the audio output.
Resulting in a MKV file (the container) with only a video track (the video is encoded in x264) and no audio at all :)

note: Thus, when u play the encoded file, u will not heard anything :P Just the video.ok. I could add a codec "None" mouhahahahhaa

[Sirber]

@ggab

I "rethinked" about it and I'm not sure it's a good idea to "bulk" RealAnime with that, since it's not a mainstream feature. If you really don't want audio you can make a .bat that runs mkvmerge that keeps only the video or use vdub.

[killerhex]

or you could just mux the video into a new mkv without the audio the encode

[Sirber]

by "you could" means you? Coz nothing stop you from doing it.

[Sirber]

MP3 bitrates are wrong in RealAnime. Corrected in next release.

[ggab]

well, i guess that the option "keep original audio source" feature will help me.

in any casse, with mkvmerge i can add others audio tracks :P

edit: will rc3 be out this week, or u wanna release the final version when it is ready?

thkks

[Sirber]

no RC3. It goes directly to final. I still need to finish the guide and I've got my hands on a special x264 build which kick ass in very very low bitrate. I need to test it if it's better than Shark's build at 368kbps. If not, I will use 2 build, one for normal encodes and one for "Low Complexity".

TheDeadSheep = blue, AVG: 20,7414
Sharktooth = redish, AVG: 20,7371

[killerhex]

hurry up and release it

[Sirber]

:devil:

Never! I'm gonna keep it for myself... sweet realanime... my precious... ;)

[DeathTheSheep]

Who's TheDeadSheep??
Wass goin' on here??

[Sirber]

Just added your x264 build for "Low complexity mode". Nothing to see, move along ;)

[DeathTheSheep]

S--sounds like a plan...

[Sirber]

Sounded like a plan. It's all over now.

[killerhex]

RElease the final version

[Sirber]

When it's done. What's the goal of releasing something unfinished?

[spinstate]

Hey Sirber what to do I need to compile the SVN of REAL4? Will it compile with mingw-gcc?

[Revgen]

When it's done. What's the goal of releasing something unfinished?

So we can complain to you about how bad it is.:D

[Sirber]

So we can complain to you about how bad it is.:DThanks for the kind words.
Hey Sirber what to do I need to compile the SVN of REAL4? Will it compile with mingw-gcc?Delphi 7 VCL :)

[XH42]

Hm.. I encoded the video that i had problem on while converting it to rmvb. Now i put the avi into the mkv container and converted it to x264 368kbps. The quality is exceptable, but... my media player turned grey while playing the last 1/5 of the movie. There was music but no animation.I tried to reopen the file, same thing occured. really pissed me off.

[killerhex]

mine is not converting an avi[xvid+mp3] into rmvb

[^_^x]

hey sirber, would you like to add volume level settings, it'll be nice for Movie with bad audio.

[Sirber]

@XH42 and killerhex

Post the Info of your source (right click on it in RA4, select "Info")

@^_^x

RealAnime normalize the audio to it's max volume.

@killerhex

Can you explain more why "It's not working"? I encoded similar source and it worked.

Also, I suggest you have a read here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html

[killerhex]

ffdshow audio decoder do i need to enable anything in there

[spinstate]

Sirber, in regards to bug reporting, any plans of implementing a log file for Realanime....for example:- It would contain text output by any CLI with console output (x264, besweet etc...) ;)

[Sirber]

@killerhex

AAC --> libfaad2, it's in the first post, but it's not needed for RMVB

@spinstate

It's in the todo but not for 4.0.

[killerhex]

can you add the real audio encoder

[Sirber]

It's there. "AAC+" it's name.

[spinstate]

Is there a way to make RA4 use AVISource() instead of DirectShowSource() ?

[Sirber]

uncheck "Use Directshow" in filtering.

[spinstate]

uncheck "Use Directshow" in filtering.

So that's what it was for.. :rolleyes:

Sorry to bother you ^^;; but I have some questions regarding x264 settings for anime encoding of which you very experienced.

1. Do you notice much difference in quality between "umh" & "hex" ME?

2. 2-pass Vs 3-pass - Which do you recommend ;)

[Sirber]

1: I never tryed hex :)

2: 3 pass if you have the time to run it. Q is higher at 368kbps, less blocks and more stable backgrounds.

[XH42]

This was basically the same as last time I posted except it's in a mkv container. The subtile worked fine, but the movie turned grey when it was at around 1:30:39 and all the way to the end, audio appears to have that delay you talked about due to the aac+v2.

@XH42

I'd need the file to test. None of my files turned gray :confused:

[Sirber]

MP4 output seems broken. I got no file in my output folder.

[killerhex]

it will convert the audio bit not the video im converting to RV10+AAC+v2

is not converting this file

[Sirber]

in RMVB or MKV? RMVB doesn't support AAC+v2, only AAC+.

What does realanime say? Error -1?

I need more infos!!!!!!!!!

[killerhex]

output format is mkv container[rmvb+aac+v2]

[Sirber]

What does realanime say? Error -1?
More infos is still needed... ;)

run the AVS in the temp folder in MPC.
Did you use any filtering? What's your complete settings, how can I reproduce?

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html

[killerhex]

well i turned off directshow

[Sirber]

and you have no VFW codec to decode xvid? HA!

well, producer should have encoded the AVISynth error.

[killerhex]

how should my ffdshow video decoder settings should be

and vfw

[Sirber]

you have to launch "ffdshow vfw" and set the codecs correctly.

[killerhex]

i launched the vfw what do i do now you should add a restore to original settings for the tools

[Sirber]

go in "Decoder" and "Codec". Add libavcodec for divxs and xvid.

The tools are external and out of my control.

[killerhex]

its wont the encode the audio to aac+ its just encodes it to wave then goes to idle without encoding the audio to aac+ and the video to rv10

what about ffdshow audio decoder

[Sirber]

Is producer.exe running?

about ffdshow audio, I've told you already in a post above.
