RealAnime 4 - General Questions and Troubleshooting Thread

[killerhex]

no the producer for rv10 wont run

[Sirber]

it's not in the task list?
did besweet run 2 time?

[killerhex]

besweet runs when encoding the audio but when i try encodeing to aac+ it just encodes the audio to wave without enc to aac+ did i mention the video is not being encoded either

[Sirber]

is there a "(retry)" in besweet logs, in the status bar of RealAnime while besweet encode?

[killerhex]

ok now is encoding the audio to aac but not the video damn

[Sirber]

what does the bottom of the window (realanime) say?

I cannot help you if you don't help me :p

[killerhex]

after finishing encoding the audio it says idle

[Sirber]

crap. "idle" is a RC2 bug, so it's hiding the bug. I cannot give you a new build (exe) yet since I have too much bugs in it, you'll have to wait until the next release.

[killerhex]

nooooooo what settings do i have to have on belight for aac+ b/c i changed the settings and forgot the original

[Sirber]

you can revert to original (default) by closing realanime and deleting it's XML file. AAC+ (and v2) default is 32kbps IIRC.

[killerhex]

ok this is weird when i put 300kbps on the video bitrate output its encodes normal but when i put 368 it wont encode

[Sirber]

are you sure it's "368" not "368 " or something else?

post "anime.rpjf" from temp folder here

[killerhex]

im encoding to x264 now 1st pass 50.8% done

[Sirber]

x264 and aac+ v2 are the most tested codecs. I will run a batch of tests with RV this weekend.

[killerhex]

i encoded a avi to mkv[rv10+ aac+2] and its great the encode quality its great but i would like to see other vid outputs also ----//how do i make RA4 encode faster but with good quality with the x264?

[JarrettH]

I think I avoided this thread for weeks because it was called RealAnime, but if this is something like MeGUI I'll check it out.

Really...

Real= memories of realplayer
Anime= something I will never ever ever encode

Can you see why I didn't click? LOL :D

[Yod4z]

after finishing encoding the audio it says idle
same probleme here, i have the video in mkv format endoded with x264 but with no sound and an audio.aac that is read correctly on foobar. I think is a probleme of muxing into mkv

[Sirber]

Can you see why I didn't click? LOL :DWhat about the "(x264, AAC+ v2, MKV)" ? Also, if you recode DVD you are better off with StaxRip or meGUI :)

i encoded a avi to mkv[rv10+ aac+2] and its great the encode quality its great but i would like to see other vid outputs also ----//how do i make RA4 encode faster but with good quality with the x264?How can I suggest settings if I have no clue what setting you just used? I'm not in your head ;)

[killerhex]

im using RV10 300kbps AAC+v2 64kbps mkv container quality High Rv10 DropDupe b-frames 3 no video filtering

[killerhex]

i try encoding with the snow codec but it only produces junk data

[Sirber]

snow is more experimental than x264. it's not ment for daily use but for testing.

about x264, try the defaults but with 2 pass.

[killerhex]

for the final version can on RA4 the ability to recognize the audio language in dual audio anime releases

[Sirber]

it does already, if the source know it. if the source doesn't say which language it is, I think RA4 takes the first stream.

[killerhex]

it wont encode the video in this file the audio yes but not the video

im using RV10 300kbps AAC+v2 64kbps mkv container quality High Rv10 DropDupe b-frames 3 no video filtering

some advice please

[Sirber]

I need to get you a new build, but in the mean time you should look for "producer.log". It should be written in it why it failed.

[killerhex]

where do i find the log

[Sirber]

should be in temp dir, but could be anywhere. RV10 has not been tested entirely (same for all PowerPack features).

[killerhex]

can you add a Mpeg4/iso/avc encoder

[Multimon]

MPEG(Motion Picture Experts Group)4 is a collection of standards including, but not limited to, the so-called ASP and AVC video standards.
x264 is an AVC encoder.
Xvid is an ASP encoder.
Both are very good. No need for more AVC encoders.

ISO = International Organization for Standardization
You want to encode a group of people?!? ^^*

You might want to look up some information before you post, it would save Sirber some time he could use better to work for the final release of RA4 ;-)

btw: Thx for the great app! ^^

[Sirber]

:goodpost:

can you add a Mpeg4/iso/avc encoder
like Multimon said, there is already and it's the main codec

You might want to look up some information before you post, it would save Sirber some time he could use better to work for the final release of RA4 ;-)Or use that time for some sake :D

[killerhex]

when i choose the x264 codec for encode below the bitrate box there the filtering option what number do i choose -1 0 +1 or other which one is better

[Sirber]

I chose +1 as default, IMO it gives better results on anime.

Try and see ;)

[Multimon]

Or use that time for some sake :D

Sake is good, RA is better ;)

I hope you don't mind me abusing your thread^^

[killerhex]

man encoding to x264 on my comp is slow

[Sirber]

@Multimon

No problem :)

@killerhex

What's your PC? Which settings did you use for x264?

[killerhex]

i use for encoding to x264 300kbps aac+v2 64kbps my comp 1.00 ghz 256mb ram

[rushin_911]

i use for encoding to x264 300kbps aac+v2 64kbps my comp 1.00 ghz 256mb ram
well encoding might be slow with these specs (since AVC technology is very complex) but the results are really worht it :)

[Sirber]

i use for encoding to x264 300kbps aac+v2 64kbps my comp 1.00 ghz 256mb ramwell... on my AMD64 3000+ I find x264 slow too :(
Best upgrade your PC :)

[killerhex]

eta is 10 hrs to finish i wouldnt mind waiting to encode for 2hrs but 10 thats too much

[spinstate]

Try using the "Medium" quality setting instead of "High" quality, it will be faster..
i use for encoding to x264 300kbps aac+v2 64kbps my comp 1.00 ghz 256mb ram
Why 300? it is a bit low I think, the default of 368 gives good quality for size..

[killerhex]

i encoded a 3min video sample with 300kbps and the quality still amazing man if the encoding was a bit faster

[Sirber]

eta is 10 hrs to finish i wouldnt mind waiting to encode for 2hrs but 10 thats too muchYour computer is outdated for the new codecs. 1Ghz is not enough for anything new. Using lower quality settings will encode faster but Q will be definitly lower.

[Danisan]

RealAnime and x264 is the reason why I updated to dual core goodness. :D

Would it be possible to set the number of threads to use with x264 in RealAnime? It would be great for the times I feel an urge to play a game while encoding.

[Sirber]

RealAnime set it automaticly in the number of CPU you have. I could add an option in the Adv settings but it would be used only on the next file to encode.

Since RealAnime is in IDLE mode by default, game will have priority on the encode. Using task manager, you can set x264 to only one of your core and play on the second one.

[Danisan]

Yes...I could do it that way. Good point.

[LAIN]

I'd like to know if there is ppl that use other os than window XP and wine ???

thankx

[edit]
there is someone that i know that use windows 2k and have problem to encode, besweet take up to 5% cpu and take around 2h to encode a audio file.


LAIN

[Sirber]

HT again?

[LAIN]

HT again?

no, the computer used is neather dual core or intel HT, it's a athlon xp 2600+, everything else is normal

LAIN
yes, me i use Win2k on Athlon 2500+ 512Mo Ram and i have no problemes with RA 4.0. 2h for how long file?

[Sirber]

The "issue" is related to the use of Sleep() to prevent realanime from using too much CPU to monitor the encoder. It work fine on most computers.

@Lain

Your friend should get the source and try different Sleep([ms]) to which best match his system.
