AnimeLQ = Fails
Yes, it works just fine because I was able to play the avisynth file that was created by RA (with AnimeLQ).Does AnimeLQ work or not?

No one told me C3D doesn't enable the menu?

yupp... and it's definitely a style issue... changing to windows default one resolves that issue.

if you'd like to test my xp_style (http://www.crystalxp.net/galerie/en.id.100.htm)

Sirber

27th February 2006, 21:27

Does not.k. I'll make tests and post a small update.

if you'd like to test my xp_style (http://www.crystalxp.net/galerie/en.id.100.htm)Can you get the sources and test? I don't have StyleXP.

27th February 2006, 21:36

I don't have StyleXP.

me nether, if you mean one of the latest versions... :o

but I have the latest freeware of it... install it and than double click on Crystal dlb 2.msstyles in the folder to change your style... you don't have to like it as it is only intended for you for testing :)

I've made a small package for you, you'll find it here (http://s30.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2KLQQSW5IK8VY3N00V8BXI9DRH).

Sorry, I don't want install StyleXP on my WS. Less things, more stable XP. I'll check about those 2 checkboxs in any case.

Shrug. Might be my source.
Also, RA failed to encode the 3rd pass. Yep, a lot of time was lost.
Here is a VERY nice picture of what appears when trying to play the avisynth file:

Playing the video itself works just fine.

Can you repost 1.avs? Try upgrading to a newer version of AVISynth.

Eretria-chan

27th February 2006, 23:18

Same as before. But without the filters msmooth and animelq. I deleted all the files.
Newer version of avisynth? I'll try.
Errrr, btw, where? There are so many topics of avisynth and the "official" page only carries old versions.

Sirber

27th February 2006, 23:25

no new version :(

Maybe your system is unstable. Did you installed my version of ffdshow? Which decoder is used to decode your source?

Eretria-chan

27th February 2006, 23:32

no new version :(

Maybe your system is unstable. Did you installed my version of ffdshow? Which decoder is used to decode your source?
Unstable? Yesssssssssss... very old, this system is (windows installation, that is). I ticked ALL the checkboxes, so don't worry - yes I installed your ffdshow version. FFDShow is not decoding xvid (which the source is encoded with), instead I have xvid codecs installed.

Sirber

28th February 2006, 00:00

Can you set ffdshow to decode xvid?

Sirber

28th February 2006, 00:08

@sillKotscha

The two checkbox are similar to other nearby. Nothing I can do.

Eretria-chan

28th February 2006, 00:22

Can you set ffdshow to decode xvid?
I could, but I doubt it would do anything. Nevertheless, I will try it.
I don't think I will be encoding anything more tonight, but I will try tomorrow!

Sirber

28th February 2006, 00:42

If DirectShowSource crash, it can be the decoder. Here I use only ffdshow and it work #1.

Eretria-chan

28th February 2006, 00:48

Well... that is a tough spot.
It does not crash. Save for when I used both denoise filters. And libavcodec introduces artifacts in one of my movies (in ogg container), so I rather also not use it.

Sirber

28th February 2006, 00:52

As you wish, but I'm affraid I cannot help you further on that issue.

Sirber

28th February 2006, 01:04

Fixed:
* Convolution3D menu
* AVI input
* Logs for AVI

Updated:
* MediaInfo 0.7.1.2 RC1

[edit]

4.0.1 to 4.0.2 update removed due to death after usage. For more information, please PM Eretria-chan. :)

I never said I would not try it. :sly:
But what if it does not work? :eek:
I will have a go with your newest version, though, to be sure that it is not solved already.

Sirber

28th February 2006, 01:15

I cannot solve avisynth access violation ;)

new build up on main site and torrent.

But it is your program that generates those files :sly:

If you just start RealAnime and close it, no encoding, does it crash?

Eretria-chan

...No, it does not. This time it generated the xml-file. I will try once more with the source, although it is without filtering this time, and see what happens.

Sirber

28th February 2006, 02:02

Filtering is external to RealAnime.
RealAnime only monitor launched softwares, like x264.exe.

if RealAnime crash, It can only be from himself OR attached DLLs, like MediaInfo.dll.

Eretria-chan

28th February 2006, 02:04

Hi,

I'd like to know the version of the MediaInfo.dll (it should be 0.7.1.2) if not, i suggest you to backup the XML file (for setting) than erase the realanime folder and freshly reinstall realanime 4.0.2 ...

we hade some problem with mediainfo.dll and changed the version in the last package.

Thank you

I currently testing different scenarios that could cause problem when we hit X .... for now every one of them pass without any errors... hope to find one

[EDIT]

For now everything is ok... if i press X during encoding audio ... the file continue to encode video without problem.. and if i press stop after it close without any error. If i press X after the video has start encoding and stop after it close without error. the only thing that is remaning is that X is pressed during the encode and continu to encode without stopping it (maybe it will cause a error during the encode). I'll test it tonight ... encoding take time :(

I'll keep you informed... we will take a look to disable X during the encode so that it wont be able to press it :D

Eretria-chan

28th February 2006, 17:42

Well, some good news at least. This time it worked - no crashes. The quality looks pretty good, but on fog scenes or scenes where there is much blur, you still see many blocks.
Also pausing at some places in the movie can show you smoothed out details. But that can't be helped, I guess...

Sirber

28th February 2006, 17:50

x264 save bits where it can. Fog and dark is the best place for that. To remove blocks set filtering to +2 or stronger.

What are the rez, the content type and the video bitrate you asked for?

Eretria-chan

28th February 2006, 17:52

Default. All the default settings.
Hmmm, more deblocking...

Eretria-chan

28th February 2006, 21:01

Sirber, a question:
What processor do you have? I was working on the upgrade program, but with my advanced techniques, it is incredibly slow, and as such I am trying to use the best and latest technology possible.

And how many hours per day do you actually spend at your computer? Concider it... statistics, these questions ;)

Sirber

28th February 2006, 21:33

I have an AMD64 3000+ running in 32bit mode.
I spend around 10h per day on my computer (work or home), but home PC is online all day long.

What is your "advanced technique"?

Eretria-chan

28th February 2006, 21:41

My advanced techniques is mostly this...
First, the basic technique is to compare files byte per byte and save the address of the mismatch byte and the new byte to be written at that address. However, for each mismatch byte, FIVE bytes need to be written to the file (4 bytes for the offset and one for the byte itself). To compensate for this, I made an enhancement. It only writes the actual length of the address (1, 2 or 4 bytes depending on the size, ie 255, 65535 or bigger), and at the beginning write how many of each there was to reduce size. But this wasn't enough...

So I added an advanced technique that would allow it to search further in the file when a mismatch byte was found, to see if it can find a similar set of bytes in another position in the file. That way, it could save information that it could be found in another part of the file, the offset and the number of bytes.

Eventually, I might also program it to add a command to "skip" a number of bytes from the offset so it might continue a byte offset.

So that say, if the original file contains 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04 and 0x05, then it could search in the other file and fine 0x01, 0x02 and skip one byte to also find 0x03, 0x04 and 0x05.

Problem is - this is incredibly slow. Even for a ~200 kb file! Imagine what the speed will be when comparing megabytes of files!
I have currently re-written two functions in pure assembly, yet it is still slow. So I plan to take advantage of SSE (3/2), 64-bit (more storage size plus extra registers) and even dual core (half processing in one thread; half in another).

Sirber

28th February 2006, 22:04

ooook!

Is there a link with video compression? :confused:
Is there a link with RealAnime? :confused:

Eretria-chan

28th February 2006, 22:07

Well, use it to compress your upgrades. That means people won't have to download 20 mb each time you release a new version, which you do seem to do frequently.

Sirber

28th February 2006, 23:55

Ha! You are working on a lossless file compression! :)
Is it better than 7zip? (LZMA)

Eretria-chan

1st March 2006, 00:00

It works to modify file X to be equal byte-per-byte with file Y.
That way, you can easily make an "upgrade package" which the users download and run. It will automatically patch the the version on the system to the version you have compared it to.
In sense, it is not a compression system, but it will give you a very small package (hopefully) to patch all your files to their current versions.

Binary diffs can be done efficiently and there are many open source implementations available. Certainly worth looking around before making your own algorithm. Just google for "binary diff" and behold :)

Can it work on myltiple files? Can it detect "moved" datas?

Eretria-chan

1st March 2006, 00:35

It is intended to work on multiple files.
I have no idea what you mean with "moved" datas. But it will examine ALL the files, one by one, byte per byte, and take note of the differenece and store that information so that it can later patch those files to be the same, byte per byte.

1st March 2006, 00:47

I have one, but it isn't finished yet...
Since the reworking in assembly, all functions are not finished yet, nor is all the advanced stuff. And you can't choose filenames and it only works on one file ^^"
I'm putting a little on hold 'til I get my new processor so I can start optimizing it more. But if you still want my pre-wip build, then I can hand it to you...

Or, the source.

Sirber

1st March 2006, 00:55

Or, the source.I could simply do a self-extracting RAR or 7zip... ;)
If it takes the same time to make the diffs than to download the 24Mb file... ;) lol

What was your point? :confused:

Sirber

1st March 2006, 01:06

usualy no need of a 24MB update. I can RAR the new files and make it autoextractable and be under 1MB. That's all.

Eretria-chan

1st March 2006, 01:09

Riiiiiiiight...
This program is aimed to make incredibly small files. And what if someone upgrades from an old version? You keep updating ffdshow, x264 and so on, so it usually becomes pretty big each time.

And this is something I have been thinking of doing for some time. You can just be the one who makes sure it works alright :p

Just in case if you didn't notice my previous post, good algorithms really do miracles. Take a look at bsdiff (http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/) before optimizing an inefficient one.

one thing i found strange

you know how realanime is "always on top"

after i encoded about 10+ episodes, it wouldn't stay on top anymore

not that i have a problem with it, just wanted to let you know

Sirber

Wierd. Did you try to start a new realanime while RA4 was minimized?

This is work in progress. iPod profil should work. Pocket PC and PSP has not been tested yet. In 4.1.0 filtering will be "auto". Auto resize and add border to fit device rez. This build will not be release public, since it needs testing :)

I suggest 1-pass CQ40 @medium with x264 for anime content on iPod.

Comments are welcome :)

Hmmm...
I extracted a stream out of a mkv clip using vdubmod and then encoded it with RA. I got major desync of the audio. I wonder if it was a good idea to do that?
But the clip (the one I extracted and encoded) DID work fine before I encoded it.

Is this my fault, or RA's fault?
I also remember vdubmod to actually warn me that it might contain variable frame rate.

EDIT:
I tested with mkvtoolnix too. I split the files and encoded - same result. Unless I am not doing this the right way, it is a bug in RA or something like that.
I get desync of the audio. At first, it is too late, then it is too soon.

Oh, also, I tried to mux an ogg stream into mkv and use RA to compress it. It worked just fabolus! Who said you can't use RA as an audio encoding tool? ;)

Sirber

4th March 2006, 01:15

Best feed your MKV directly to RealAnime. Also, RealAnime supports OGMs... ;)

Eretria-chan

4th March 2006, 01:21

The thing is I just want a specific portion of the file, so that's why I'm clipping it...
Oh, I forgot ogg is actually a container. Ahahaha... I thought it was just a music file that had to be put into a container to work properly with encoding tools.

Sirber

4th March 2006, 01:22

.OGG will be threated as audio.
.OGM as multi-track.

Eretria-chan

4th March 2006, 01:23

Yes, anyway, do you have any idea on the desync? I mean, that clip was like 45 mb :/ While after encoded with RA, it is like 5 mb, so I really want to encode it.

Sirber

4th March 2006, 01:28

I have no idea about the delay. I don't recommend the use of VDubMod with RealAnime. Best encode the whole thing, then cut the output with mkvmerge.

Eretria-chan

4th March 2006, 01:29

Ahhh, takes too long :/
I even tried to split it with mkvmerge, but the same thing happened.

Sirber

4th March 2006, 02:25

Fixed in 4.0.2 (or .1? :confused:)

The FPS error was that I was unable to get it, so RealAnime forced 23.976 (and source was 29.96 FPS).

XviD / vorbis...

well, I duno :) You can fix the delay with mkvmerge (or the GUI in Tools tab) after your encode.

Eretria-chan

4th March 2006, 15:31

There are two problems:
First I see that the source has 29.970 fps, and in the avisynth file I see:

DirectShowSource("C:\My Installed Apps\RealAnime 4\temp\video_0.mkv", fps=29.9699993133545)
AssumeFPS(29.9699993133545)
NiceFPS()

Not 29.970 that is. That is a guess.
Secondly, the audio is out of sync - first it is delayed - then it is too soon! So adding a delay will not help.

Sirber

4th March 2006, 15:33

The FPS I use is the real one. "29.970" is rounded.

Can I have your file?

this will only produce files with strange framerates signalled (eg not playable in quicktime)

simply use

for example the video.mkv.mkv.mkv's issue

if u wanna dig a bit on those bugs, i can recheck them all with 4.0.5 :)

@sany

Is audio.mp4.wav in the temp folder? Why do you use AVS input?

sany

6th March 2006, 18:01

I'll check that right away, and I'm using .avs as input cause I want to add a pic at the begging of the video + I'm also using avisynth overlay function( I power up the video :) )

Checked it:
There's an .avs file in the Real Anime 4 temp but I think that's a remainder of an aborted but succesfully started reencoding (the one when I killed the audio).

Sirber

6th March 2006, 18:03

Hum... it should work. Maybe my AVS input is borked. I will try tonight.

[edit]

Why do you encode your source (MP3 @128kbps) to MP3 @128kbps again?

sany

6th March 2006, 19:45

Well umm, didn't want to fuss about killing audio than adding a 128@ mp3 audio to the silent reencoded video with mkv mux(I don't know yet any other way, if there is please tell me), your software can encode audio with the video so I didn't even think about that(I'm still new in the business, so this might have been a bad idea?)

Note: the source isn't mine I acquired it.Also at my friend the whole stuffs seems to run smoothly that's what really frutrates me(he's lazy and it's hard to make him to do the encodings for me :) )

Moreover if you think you ran out of ideas don't worry about it too much I'll just reencode the videos silently and use mkv mux to add audio.

Sirber

6th March 2006, 19:58

it's still a bug ;)

my point is it's pointless to recode a 128kbps MP3 into the same thing. You will get the same bitrate, but quality will be lower. Currently RealAnime can't keep original audio from AVS source. Best do it silently and merge at the end.

sany

6th March 2006, 20:06

Ok, I'll go with the silent video then, and again many thanks for trying to help.(Now that you mentioned that about the bit rate of the audio I don't know why I didn't do that way from the start, I mean going with silent video and then adding audio)

And about the bug: well maybe it only occurs by me, which would really suck(I mean I don't want to suffer alone :D )

Sirber

6th March 2006, 20:09

What settings are you using for video? What final filesize do you aim for?

sany

6th March 2006, 20:15

I'm aiming for about 190Mb 3pass high quality x264 and 928 bitrate(used bitrate calculater you have in RealAnime 4 to figure out bitrate). Filtering is checked in and is set to +1(altough I don't know what that function is for, it was set there as default)

Sirber

6th March 2006, 20:22

Are you aware that your output file will be about 85MB bigger than your source? What's the goal of making bigger files?

sany

6th March 2006, 20:28

I know, that's not the point, well it's psychology most people think the bigger the better :D .

Anyways I know I won't gain extra pixels just because the file size get's bigger, but still there should be some quality increase, no? (I honestly ask this 'cause I'm really new in this stuff)

What would you suggest I mean for settings and for final filesize?

Sirber

6th March 2006, 20:34

Quality can't increase. You are going from a loosy source to another one.

I'd suggest using RealAnime defaults ;), but it will output a ~60MB file (if you encode audio at 32kbps).

But hey! Do as you wish :p

Well, thanks I'll think about it(and as a compromise only make a file about 150MB :D ).

And about the bug: well maybe it only occurs by me, which would really suck(I mean I don't want to suffer alone :D )

Actually I am having the same problem. I tried a whole bunch of different source files but was able to reproduce the error every time with avs files. I did a bit of testing here and there and found that avs2wav.exe is not working at all, it is actually just erroring out, but RA is not logging the error
If I manually run the "C:\Program Files\RealAnime 4\\bin\avs2wav.exe" "D:\AviSource\AVS_Files\sample2.avs" "C:\Program Files\RealAnime 4\temp\audio.mp4.wav" command listed in the log I get a error "Unable to Locate componet - This application has failed to start because MSVCR70.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application mayt fix the problem."

I have tried reinstalling several times but it has not fixed anything so far. I thouhg this was odd because rc3 worked just fine for me eariler.

I even went so far as to search my system for the file and try to regsrv32 it but that did not work at all. The file with that name I found was in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705

I just kinda assumed something with my .NET framework was fried. I went so far as to manually try and reinstall it but it was to no avail.

I actuallyt would have reported this a bit earlier but it seems you have to wait a week after signing up to doom9 before you can post. ~.~

PS. My desired output is actually mp4 with xvid and mp3, I know what I am tring to do is not exactly within the ideal scope of the software but honestly there is not any other \"decent\" batch software that can output video wachable on my set-top mp4 player\divx (which sadly is so retarded if i don't add a border to my video it will cut off the subtitles)

After copying both msvcr70.dll and msvcp70.dll from C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705 avs2wav.eve finnally started working as desired.

But I seem to be having a all new very weird problem. Here are the settings I used.

Video
Codec: XviD
Quality: High

The video and audio reencoded just fine but it output a perfectly fine .mkv file without any warning or error save the weird messages at the bottom of the log. Again I tried this with a few AVS files and some raw .AVI files as well.

I'm thinking about reducing the number of bframes from 3 to 1. It seems they hurt more the quality than do good. I'll also check Trellis for High Quality profile by default.

Danisan

8th March 2006, 15:06

So the default setting will still be 3p but with 1 bframes instead of 3 in future versions? Did 2p at medium reduce the quality too much?

I've only tested 2p with short samples. Didn't notice much quality difference with those.

Sirber

8th March 2006, 15:16

I made a full encode at 2p 3bf but I can't check it since I'm at work.
I'm currently making a 2p 1bf. I will post all files (60MB each) so people will be able to comment on the quality and help me make the best default settings.

Source is One Piece 176.

Sirber

8th March 2006, 23:50

Well, seems the source is crap and lack bitrate on those parts.

In any case, next build will have more tweaks and should have same quality but on 2 pass instead of 3.

Danisan

9th March 2006, 09:56

I did a wee comparison between Medium 3 pass with 1 bframes and 2 pass with 1 bframes. Bitrate and other settings are at their defaults. I used x264 rev. 357.

Source (http://gensou.org/danisan/rec/%5bAyu%5d_Rec_-_03.avi)

Medium 2 Pass 1 bframes (http://gensou.org/danisan/rec/%5bAyu%5d_Rec_-_03_%5b2PB1%5d.mp4)

Can you comment on your 2 encodes?

Yes, I didn't notice much difference between the two encodes. But the source contains mostly slow movements, if any. 2p seems enough for this kind of source material.

No offense, but do you have to leave me with no option but to rely on your experience/judgement regarding B-Frames ?
Yes!

Have a read here and learn how to use it! Or leave the default (3). It's in advance section, if you don't feel confortable with advanced stuff, just leave it like it is and only use "basic". I already set a ton of parameters for each codec that you have no control over, which are set by the Quality menu.

I'm thinking about reducing the number of bframes from 3 to 1. It seems they hurt more the quality than do good.

hmmm.... y'know, a good-old-fashioned checkbox before the "B-Frames" field (so that users who don't want to mess with those advanced settings, don't have to) wouldn't hurt.

For every bitrate there's an optimum resolution. High bitrates are a waste when paired with low resoutions and 640/480 isn't the best resolution for a video clip with only 224kbits/sec to spare... It would be great if RealAnime had a feature to set the most appropriate resize parameters for a given bitrate. For example, automatic resizing to 320x240 for encode bitrates around 200, and only if source is equal to or greater than 320x240.

300+: 640x

100+: 480x
else: 320x

anne_so78

10th March 2006, 17:29

Are you telling me that a video bitrate of 210 optimally requires a resolution of 512x384 ? Thats insane. It should be around 320x240. Believe me, I've experimented. Maybe you're talking about only cartoon/anime encodes. But with non-cartoon material at bitrates of around 200, resolutions over 320x240 definitely compromise the video. Encodes seem overly "blocky" or something... There's a formula to calculate the optimum resolution for any given bitrate. This particular formula is used in Gordian Knot (incorrect values turn red, suggesting you to either increase bitrate or reduce resolution).

more encodes than not, are non-cartoon.

APPEAL TO THE MASSES!!!

if you are adamant about anime-friendliness, then maybe you could add two options when it comes to automatic-resizing, one for anime, the other for non-anime. No such feature is way better than disproportionate resolutions for non-anime content...

Do you guys get a "crash loop" when you close RealAnime after having encoded some files?

Sirber

11th March 2006, 16:08

RealAnime 4.1.0 has been released.

Changelog (http://www.detritus.qc.ca/index.php?entry=entry060311-144429)
Download (http://www.detritus.qc.ca/static.php?page=static060310-005835)

Please note this is the final version of RealAnime. Updates will pop from time to time to upgrade x264 or fix bugs.
Delphi devs can get the sources (svn://svn.detritus.qc.ac/detritus/RealAnimeLE) and post patches. I will gladly evaluate them and post new versions of RealAnime.

Enjoy! :D

will there be another version where the subs will be hardcoded for profiles such as psp and ipod?

edit:
I'm trying to add in subtitles via avisynth
here's the code im using...im not very good at scripting so take it easy on me
# RealAnime 4
LoadPlugin ("C:\Program Files\RealAnime 4\avs\VSFilter.dll")
AVISource("C:\Encoding Samples\Track1.avi")
TextSub("C:\Encoding Samples\Track3.ass")

it works great :D

Where did all those resize filters go (bicubic, lanczos etc)? Which resize filter is 4.1 using by default? You haven't included any of those suggested typo corrections, have you? hmmm... The last time I calculated the bitrate using RealAnime's bitrate calculator (4, RC3) the estimate was annoyingly off-mark. RealAnime promised 698 MB, and it ended up with 703 MB !! After adding few other stuff on the cd compilation, the only way I could burn was to enable "over-burning" which I did hesitantly... I hope your bitrate calculator has been updated since...

killerhex

13th March 2006, 07:48

whats the best audio encoding setting to use with RV10 on RA4.1

Sirber

13th March 2006, 13:06

@BoostAddict

Not sure if I will add hardsub to RealAnime. I'm not investing more time on it.

@anne_so78

RealAnime 4.1 uses Bicubic. The Bitrate calculator doesn't count the Container size.

@killerhex

MKV or RMVB? For RMVB you have to stick with AAC HE. For MKV, use what you want. I suggest you use x264 though.

anne_so78

13th March 2006, 14:13

The Bitrate calculator doesn't count the Container size.
If it don't count the container, it ain't a bitrate calculator...

Sirber

13th March 2006, 14:24

It calculate the video bitrate. I don't care about container overhead.
You are free to use any other bitrate calculator or get the source and add the container overhead (MKV, MP4 and RMVB).

killerhex

13th March 2006, 15:17

i use mkv container with RV10 video codec

anne_so78

13th March 2006, 15:24

It calculate the video bitrate.
And what good is that for?
I don't care about container overhead.
Quote that within the program. Warn users that the bitrate calculator will always underestimate file sizes. Nobody wants to find that out after 36 hours of encoding. Your program outputs videos wrapped in a container. If you don't care about container overhead, maybe you shouldn't include your bitrate calculator in the program. It is very misleading ...

Sirber

13th March 2006, 15:46

The given bitrate fit for anime content, which is 24 minutes. Any other uses is at your discretion.

A non "RealAnime" question, but does PSP support any softsub from the mp4 video files? IF it does, what are the format?
(and btw, did I hear something about this program will hardsub the extracted subtitle(s) from the source in the output from now on?)

@XH42

As far (or short ;)) as I know, handled doesn't support softsubs.

@^_^x

This could be added*, but I don't see the goal. In the meantime, chose keep track #8. If it'S not found it's not kept.

pS: i'll test it asap :D

XH42

14th March 2006, 00:47

Thanks Sirber. One more question, what resolution will RealAnime resize the video in the PSP Profile into? Will it resize it to the PSP LCD Screen Resolution (Heard it was 480x272), or will it resized it to the same as the NERO Recode 2 'PSP Profile' (320x240, 160x112. Which are not widescreen settings)?
Sorry for the extra post.

Sirber

14th March 2006, 00:54

RealAnime reach one of the border while keeping the AR.

iPod: 320x240
Pocket PC: 320x240 @ 12FPS
PSP: 480x272

As for PSP, width will never be more than 480 while height will nevber be more than 272. RealAnime doesn't add black borders to fill it to full rez. Please gives us some feedback if you encode something. I'm too poor to own a PSP ;)

takes too long on my comp will try it toniteIn 2pass mode, the first one is in "fast first pass mode", so the total encoding time in not 2x, more 1.3x. If not, then it's a bug in RealAnime 4.

Eretria-chan

14th March 2006, 23:14

What is actually typically required to get x264 to run at decent speeds at medium quality? Even an athlon 64 x2 3800+ (cpu utilization is typically around 95%) is not really enough, as it gives about 7-8 fps. It's currently clocked at 2.1 ghz, not near its maximum potential yet.
Wonder if it is possible to aquire the 64-bit version of x264 and merge it with RA? Although the latest 64-bit is probably old by now...

Kostarum Rex Persia

15th March 2006, 00:09

Well, you have 64-bit build on http://omion.dyndns.org/x264x64/452-omion.rar

Sirber

15th March 2006, 00:10

On my AMD64 3000+ (32bit), I get 7-8FPS in second pass at Medium.
Try the Medium quality setting. You should get 12-15FPS on your CPU.

a 64bit build will do no good if you don't have Windows XP64, Avisynth64, ffdshow64 and other 64bit apps needed to run them. Also, x264 can't use MMX in 64bit mode IIRC, so it might just run slower than the 32bit version.

Eretria-chan

15th March 2006, 09:16

I use default settings, but still I get around 25 fps on first pass and around 8 on second pass.
* Shrugs *
Will try again tonight...
x264 is a hungry beast :p
Oh... maybe the animeLQ filter is slowing it down! I forgot about that one. Maybe I should turn it off and see what happens. But on a high resolution, noise become so visible :/

Sirber

15th March 2006, 12:59

Do you still filter like crazy?

Eretria-chan

15th March 2006, 16:51

No, just animeLQ. That's all! I swear!
Besides, when I "filtered like crazy" was just for testing purposes.

Sirber

15th March 2006, 17:30

No, just animeLQ. That's all! I swear!
Besides, when I "filtered like crazy" was just for testing purposes.Yeah right :p

is x264 using both CPU? I heard avisynth is not SMP.

Eretria-chan

15th March 2006, 17:39

Yes, both cpus are almost peaking, so they are both being utilized.

Sirber

15th March 2006, 17:54

in the logs, is x264 using 2 threads?

Eretria-chan

ok. then I don't know :p

Eretria-chan

15th March 2006, 19:36

Don't be afraid, there probably is no bug in your software :p
Whew, hey, first pass is going at 38 fps.

Sirber

15th March 2006, 20:02

Smells like bad slow filters ;)
You always filter too much :(

Eretria-chan

15th March 2006, 20:06

But I didn't. I just enabled animeLQ - that's all. I get 9-10 fps on second pass.
I don't write scripts - I simply drag and drop files into RA, change the settings a little and hit start.

Sirber

15th March 2006, 20:08

I don't write scripts - I simply drag and drop files into RA, change the settings a little and hit start.You have to press nicely Start to get few more FPS ;)

Can you post the Info of your source? Seems I'm missing the width and height of the source. This is normal if you input AVS. If you use AVS as source, "auto" in Filtering will not work well.

hi,

veiled I want use realanime but it does not go :(
my video source is a video personal of 2 min which comes from my camcorder
(file is .avi 720x576 DV PAL)

I launch realanime by keeping the default settings
I Drag me file in input window & stard encoding
after a few seconds I this obtains

Encoder error #-1 (x264)

i use real anime 4.1.0 with update of march 12, 2006

it is what the problem ?

:(

22nd March 2006, 13:11

I'll release next weekend an update that will cover those area:
* Handeled resize skipped if no source res found (AVS) (no more div / 0 error)
* x264 --threads-input (if SMP)
* x264 subme 7 (for High Quality profile)
* Appropriate default bitrate for iPod profile (x264, xvid) for anime/cartoon content at 24fps.
* Use normal x264 for Handeled profiles, no more DTS x264 :)

What I can't fix:
* RealAnime access violation due to MediaInfo.dll

Can't you catch and ignore the error? Like try in C++.

Sirber

22nd March 2006, 17:03

I'm not sure. The error pop when RealAnime close. When RealAnime is closing, I don't do anything with MediaInfo. Maybe some things in MI are not freed correctly.

Eretria-chan

22nd March 2006, 17:07

Then it might be it does something weird when it is unloaded. I have no idea how Delphi works, but you could take a look at the assembly and see where it goes wrong. I'd do that with C++ and probably track down the problem, but... this is delphi, so I can't help.
Good luck with the issue anyway.

Sirber

22nd March 2006, 17:14

I can get ASm dumps, but it's so useless in delphi :)

I'm in contact with the author of MI via IM, he said he's looking into it.

Noob here.

Just two quick question, actually:

(1) Do you guys have a comprehensive guide (for iditos like me) on how to use this really cool program ir do I need to read through the 51 pages of this thread?

(2) I've actually tried converting to *.rmvb using this software without changing anything in the settings. And I was wondering what settings should I change to achieve the 30 to 50mb conversion to *.rmvb of the run of the mill 175mb *.avi file. I think at default settings when I installed realanime its was set to three pass or something?

THANKS for any help.

Eretria-chan

27th March 2006, 09:57

If I remember correctly, there was a guide?
In theory, all you need to do is drop the files you want to convert into RA and hit start. Make sure you grab the latest version, too.

bond

27th March 2006, 12:34

Sirber, latest avisynth update fixes the issues which lead to the useage of the 64bit mdhd atom in mp4, which quicktime and mplayer dont handle

therefore you might want to consider removing nicefps...

Sirber,

have you tried 'improved x264' by MSU Graphics & Media Lab (Video Group) ?

http://www.compression.ru/video/x264/x264_improvement_en.html

They develop video quality mesuring tools, and recently they did something to x264 sources using theirs methods as guide.
I wonder if this improvement can squeeze more kbps for RealAnime.

Sirber

27th March 2006, 14:58

@Veterinar

I didn't test it, since it's not up to date. Also, I read many post saying MSU improvements are not that good.
If you want to test it, just replace x264.exe in /bin folder with MSU build. But, I don't support custom builds nor build that didn't come with RealAnime :)

Sirber

28th March 2006, 03:51

Anyone interrested that I add this?
Decomb v5.21 w/ Variable Frame Rate Mode

What this does
==============
This uses the mode=3 algorithm to decide if a cycle is film or video.
If it's film, then a frame is decimated. If it's video, then all
frames are passed. That means it outputs 4 frames for 23.976 fps with
film cycles and 5 frames for 29.97 fps with video cycles.

This hasn't been extensively tested. You can use mode=3 with show=true
for a comparison. mode=4 should output 4 frames for each cycle with
"chose #, dropping" and 5 frames with "chose #, decimating all-video
cycle".

DLL Filenames:
...P4 - optimized for Pentium 4
...P3 - optimized for Pentium Pro, Pentium II, and Pentium 3

Example Usage
=============
Decimate(mode=4,threshold=1.0,progress=true,timecodes="timecodes.txt",vfrstats="video.vfrstats",priority=1)

mode=4 is the VFR mode

timescodes="file" is the file to output timecodes for muxing with
mkvmerge. "timecodes.txt" is the default

progress=true toggles the progress gui dialog, defaults to true (*note
renaming the dll will cause the gui to fail)

vfrstats="file" is the file to read, or if not found to write vfr
frame decisions to. If this file exists it will be loaded and used,
no VFR 1st pass will need to be done, and timecodes file will not be
written. It's handy to use so you only have to run the VFR 1st pass
once, however if you change the video input to decimate at all you
should delete the stats file to it is regenerated.

priority=1 sets the priority for the vfr 1st pass to "below normal"

Usage & misc notes
==================
This is only slow upon loading the filter because it has to process
all frames. Seeking afterwards is very fast.
The decimate threshold does make a difference.
>From my experience, hints from telecide screw decimate up.

History
=======
v0.1 (6/30/04):
Initial release of both 1-pass and 2-pass versions
The 1-pass version doesn't support seeking and doesn't output the
correct number of frames

v0.2 (7/2/04):
The 1-pass version might have been buggy along with those limitations,
so it was removed
Optimized and fixed bugs in the 2-pass version

v0.3 (7/3/04):
Fixed "-" to "," with frame ranges in the timecodes file
Fixed a critical bug with frame ranges

v0.4 (7/4/04):
Integrated code for a progress bar
Fixed more bugs with frame ranges

v0.5 (7/4/04):
Slight changes to progress gui

v0.6 (7/5/04):
Added vfrstats parameter for fast re-loading.

v0.9 (7/20/04):
re-coded VFR 1st pass calculations for more efficiency
Fixxed dropping of frame 0 bug
Added vfrpriority option to set priority for the VFR 1st pass

v1.0 (8/2/04):
More detailed information shown for show=true (thanks Guyver).
Switched telecide hints default to false, it tended to force bad
decisions a lot.
Better handling of last cycle.

v1.01 (8/3/04):
Removed all hardcoded references to framerate

Eretria-chan

28th March 2006, 09:53

I haven't the slightest clue what it is. If it does offer any advantages, then I suppose, yes...

berrinam

28th March 2006, 10:54

Just a few comments. Please don't take them as criticism:

VFR-support like you suggested is clearly the best way to deal with hybrid material, assuming that you can play it back on something that supports it (which limits you to only using it in Matroska....). Also see my next point about this.
You may want to switch over from Decomb to TIVTC and TDeint for your AviSynth processing. TIVTC is a package which tritical to copy Decomb's functionality and improve it, and the general consensus is that it is far superior. It's supported VFR for ages, as well as special anime decimating modes, edge-directed interpolation which is good for anime, and a whole lot of other things.
Looking through the GUI, it seems like you support RV10's DropDupe. I don't know anything about how this, but there are some AviSynth filters which drop frames -- in particular, DeDup can drop frames and also signal them through matroska VFR/timecodes files. If this was selected, you could (and should) remove the Decimator from your script, as DeDup will act as an unguided decimator by itself.
Is it really possible to select deinterlace and IVTC at the same time? The GUI seems to indicate that it is (you can check both boxes at once), but I don't know if it actually does enable both options. It shouldn't, because it is bad to deinterlace AND IVTC

grss1982

28th March 2006, 11:13

Sirber

28th March 2006, 12:59

@berrinam

I use IT for IVTC and Decomb for Deinterlace. I'll be happy if you can provide a link for TIVTC and TDeint.

I don't like DropDupe, I might remove the option and use a Curve-based rate control instead of old RV streaming rate control, thus remove RV10 dropdupe.

Is it really possible to select deinterlace and IVTC at the same time? The GUI seems to indicate that it is (you can check both boxes at once), but I don't know if it actually does enable both options. It shouldn't, because it is bad to deinterlace AND IVTCIf the user check everything... not my fault :)

For anime sources, EEDI2 also works very well (it's also in the same post) for deinterlacing. So, instead of plain
TDeint as your deinterlacer, you can use Interp = SeparateFields().SelectEven().EEDI2()
Deinted = TDeint(edeint=Interp) for better results. Also look at the TIVTC - Common usage examples file for IVTC scripts specific to anime.

Hi everyone,

Noob here, again. :eek:

Just wanted to ask what do I do with *.mkv files that I want converted into *.rmvb unsing RA4? Do I just drag them to RA4 and let it rip

OR

do I need to change something like setting what audio (Japanese or english) to use and whether I would prefer subtitles.

BTW, I prefer english subs and japense audio, so I was wondering are this settings ON by default in RA4? :confused:

:thanks:

Just set RMVB output and you are all set. If your source is too complicated, RealAnime will output to MKV instead.

Please note that RMVB has not been tested much, errors can happen and your feedback is important :D

7th April 2006, 11:43

Hi, nice to know you siber.
I'm already know Realanime for long time but really
Make me confusing in your ver2.25 and ver3.2 .So, I still
use Divx for backup anime series (only 4-6 series in one CD's) until I meet realanime 4.00RC3 :) .

I have much question for you , first, my apologies if my english was not too good, and I only rent computer to use internet, so if you answer my question, its maybe not so fast to answer (I only once a week use internet!) :scared:

ok I just to the point :

1.when I ripp a video with realanime 4RC3 which have trouble
picture in the middle part, the sound become not synchronize,
can you give a tip to Rip that video and make them smoothly
synvhronize without pass the sound encoding..? (maybe to
split them both and encode in different way?)
and I already read in this thread about the sound has delay
when rip video with realanime use x264 and Aac+v2, if use
RV10 with Aac+v2, are that problem still happen?

2.I still wonder why when I use the lastest realanime 4.1.0
default setting ,my ripping in 2nd pass with x264 can be more
slower than ver 4.0.5 (in 4.0.5 the speeds was 6-7 fps rather
than ver 4.1.0 which drop to only 1.5-2 fps!! :eek: ).it also
happen when I change the x264 from 4.1.0 to 4.0.5 in bin
directory and also I use the update from chronocross build
v477 and the result was same, are they have relative with the
spec which I have ?(AthlonXP Barton 2500+, 512 Mb Ram,
WinXP SP1)

3.just for info for n00b also which read in this thread and maybe
please give me more triks in realanime :helpful:

filter deen b2 (a2d) + aWarpSharp give a good result for bad
source video but eliminate some detail and can't give good
result to shadow and between 2 similiar color (like gradation or
transition color, so I think this is just for bad source only which
can give better result) I just fortune to test this and this is the
comparation:

[pic]nofilter
[pic]Convolution3D LQ
[pic]deen b2 (a2d) + aWarpSharp
see in attachment

this is my configuration filter in RA 4.0 RC3

[pic]setting
see in attachment
D:\temp\down_planning\setting.jpg

- AutoCrop : to eliminate the black border in 4 area
automaticly, too bad because in myplace the Anime
quality was so low, so it's really hard to crop picture
manualy.
- ConvertToYV12 : since all the source was from VCD, so
I only process the mpeg1 (.DAT) type video. When I
convert it to mpeg2 (.mpg) the quality more worse!
(give artifaks) so I change the ekstension name file
examp: file_1.dat to file_1.mpg and drag it into RealAnime
and it works well without problems!!! (thanks god!! :) )
but the problem was I cannot use filter like Con3d etc..
until I find this way! (just convert to YV12)
- Lanczos4Resize : I think I ever to see you say that :
Lancos > Bicubic (more better), so I use it.
- Deen b2 (a2d) + aWarpSharp , I already try many
combination and I think this is best so far (for my case).
But I think I don't have much experience about it .Maybe
cause another choice filter give me death fps !(make too
slow, just 2.5-4 fps!!) with this I still get (4.5-5 fps)in
2nd pass with x264.I use this without filter after all
inside x264 (no filter)
So Siber, please can you give another way to implement a
avisynth filter in ver 4.0.5 which you dont provide?

Since I use Realanime I really want to have the result was
more good than before rip, eventhough use ripping software
just only "decrease the quality" but I think with this way :
use Realanime = Better + Smaller Video file
(isn't that good to hear? :D ).

4.I already try and see the result (I'm sorry I just only doing
"trial error activity" to learn about something, not soo
advance ) and I make 3 group of video which I want to
backup ("Nice anime", "Plain anime", and "Bad anime" cause in
one episode in a series, sometimes the quality of picture and
story was change! but I wont to pass one episode in a
series!!) and make this configuration choice :

(all with x264 and aac+v2 codec 640x480 or 640x360 with
realanime 4RC3 )

vid_bit | aud_bit | pass | size
Nice : 330 48 3 69 Mb
Plain : 318 32 2 64 Mb
Bad : 275-265 24 2 54 Mb

( Maybe you think, thats crazy!!! the bitrate just 265 in
640x360! but I already try it with that filter too and the
result was still good then I ever use with divx in 450 kbps!! )
this is the sample:

[pic]sample_after (x264 640 x 360 video 265_kbps audio
24_kbps)
[pic]sample_ori (mpeg1 352 x 240)
see in attachment

D:\temp\down_planning\DSS x264 bitrate.jpg

so I think just only my opinion, so I just want to say how
about you all who use this software? ,are you have another
opinion and suggestion? (plus siber, I hope you can make
this program can save profile like ver 3.2 or you have
another method?)

5.When I use low bitrate with RealVideo 10 codec in RA 4.0 RC3,
the video speed was Awful!! when the audio is still usualy
untill end of playing, the video was already play more than
once! (looping), when I try it with RA 3.2 that problem not
happen. My Source was file.DAT (mpeg1) with setting like
above. and in my another test, if use RV10 in low bitrate (I
think maybe 200_kbps) the fps of video drop, are that happen
cause I use Drop dupe option? But I just want to tell you
about this, cause when I use 240_kbps as bitrate with RV10
codec, the result was junk. (I just want to test it, trying save
more space in "Bad" category :devil: but that failed! ).

6.I think you already know that output choice "same as source"
was not work at all. :confused:

Thanks to make our day more bright :thanks: , this is my fist post (still not experienced yet) .and sorry I cannot give you any money support, I
just pray that somebody will give it to you... ;)

Hi, nice to know you siber.Sirber :devil: ;)
1.when I ripp a video with realanime 4RC3 which have trouble
picture in the middle part, the sound become not synchronize,
can you give a tip to Rip that video and make them smoothly
synvhronize without pass the sound encoding..? (maybe to
split them both and encode in different way?)
and I already read in this thread about the sound has delay
when rip video with realanime use x264 and Aac+v2, if use
RV10 with Aac+v2, are that problem still happen?That is a trouble with AAC HE and PS. I can't fix that on my side coz the delay can change depending on the source.
2.I still wonder why when I use the lastest realanime 4.1.0
default setting ,my ripping in 2nd pass with x264 can be more
slower than ver 4.0.5 (in 4.0.5 the speeds was 6-7 fps rather
than ver 4.1.0 which drop to only 1.5-2 fps!! :eek: ).it also
happen when I change the x264 from 4.1.0 to 4.0.5 in bin
directory and also I use the update from chronocross build
v477 and the result was same, are they have relative with the
spec which I have ?(AthlonXP Barton 2500+, 512 Mb Ram,
WinXP SP1)Profiles changed from 4.0.5 to 4.1.0, so encoding is a bit slower but quality is higher.
3.just for info for n00b also which read in this thread and maybe
please give me more triks in realanime :helpful:

filter deen b2 (a2d) + aWarpSharp give a good result for bad
source video but eliminate some detail and can't give good
result to shadow and between 2 similiar color (like gradation or
transition color, so I think this is just for bad source only which
can give better result) I just fortune to test this and this is the
comparation:

[pic]nofilter
[pic]Convolution3D LQ
[pic]deen b2 (a2d) + aWarpSharp
see in attachment

this is my configuration filter in RA 4.0 RC3

[pic]setting
see in attachment
D:\temp\down_planning\setting.jpg

- AutoCrop : to eliminate the black border in 4 area
automaticly, too bad because in myplace the Anime
quality was so low, so it's really hard to crop picture
manualy.
- ConvertToYV12 : since all the source was from VCD, so
I only process the mpeg1 (.DAT) type video. When I
convert it to mpeg2 (.mpg) the quality more worse!
(give artifaks) so I change the ekstension name file
examp: file_1.dat to file_1.mpg and drag it into RealAnime
and it works well without problems!!! (thanks god!! :) )
but the problem was I cannot use filter like Con3d etc..
until I find this way! (just convert to YV12)
- Lanczos4Resize : I think I ever to see you say that :
Lancos > Bicubic (more better), so I use it.
- Deen b2 (a2d) + aWarpSharp , I already try many
combination and I think this is best so far (for my case).
But I think I don't have much experience about it .Maybe
cause another choice filter give me death fps !(make too
slow, just 2.5-4 fps!!) with this I still get (4.5-5 fps)in
2nd pass with x264.I use this without filter after all
inside x264 (no filter)
So Siber, please can you give another way to implement a
avisynth filter in ver 4.0.5 which you dont provide?

Since I use Realanime I really want to have the result was
more good than before rip, eventhough use ripping software
just only "decrease the quality" but I think with this way :
use Realanime = Better + Smaller Video file
(isn't that good to hear? :D ).I don't use filtering much, I'm affraid I cannot help you on that.

4.I already try and see the result (I'm sorry I just only doing
"trial error activity" to learn about something, not soo
advance ) and I make 3 group of video which I want to
backup ("Nice anime", "Plain anime", and "Bad anime" cause in
one episode in a series, sometimes the quality of picture and
story was change! but I wont to pass one episode in a
series!!) and make this configuration choice :

(all with x264 and aac+v2 codec 640x480 or 640x360 with
realanime 4RC3 )

vid_bit | aud_bit | pass | size
Nice : 330 48 3 69 Mb
Plain : 318 32 2 64 Mb
Bad : 275-265 24 2 54 Mb

( Maybe you think, thats crazy!!! the bitrate just 265 in
640x360! but I already try it with that filter too and the
result was still good then I ever use with divx in 450 kbps!! )
this is the sample:

[pic]sample_after (x264 640 x 360 video 265_kbps audio
24_kbps)
[pic]sample_ori (mpeg1 352 x 240)
see in attachment

D:\temp\down_planning\DSS x264 bitrate.jpg

so I think just only my opinion, so I just want to say how
about you all who use this software? ,are you have another
opinion and suggestion? (plus siber, I hope you can make
this program can save profile like ver 3.2 or you have
another method?)Sorry, I removed the custom profiles since it was bulky and useless in most case. Also, depending in what you encode, changing the bitrates (2 clicks!) ain't too hard no? :)

5.When I use low bitrate with RealVideo 10 codec in RA 4.0 RC3,
the video speed was Awful!! when the audio is still usualy
untill end of playing, the video was already play more than
once! (looping), when I try it with RA 3.2 that problem not
happen. My Source was file.DAT (mpeg1) with setting like
above. and in my another test, if use RV10 in low bitrate (I
think maybe 200_kbps) the fps of video drop, are that happen
cause I use Drop dupe option? But I just want to tell you
about this, cause when I use 240_kbps as bitrate with RV10
codec, the result was junk. (I just want to test it, trying save
more space in "Bad" category :devil: but that failed! ).RealVideo has not been fully tested and no one in the dev team use it anymore. best use higher bitrates than for x264.

6.I think you already know that output choice "same as source"
was not work at all. :confused:Fixed in 4.1.1m, to be released soon.

I hope it answer your questions. But, please next time, make it shorter :)

In RealAnime 4.1.1, you can still get an Access Violation error after encoding multiple files then closing RealAnime. I think I found the cause, again an object not freed. I'm investigating.

If I resolve it, 4.1.2 will be released with the fix and an updated x264.exe.

- any idea about timeline, i mean encoding video with user customise time track: time track begin and time track end.

- And muxing multiple video

it's not useless, since each episode anime always have opening and ending soundtrack. if i want to muxing 2 episodes, i have to remove ending track from first video and opening track from second video. less size is'n it?

What kind of detail do you want? There's nothing much to say, it just starts encoding and then stops.

However, this only occurs with Xvid and x264, not with RV10

a fast way would be to make an AVS out of it. RealAnime will upsample the audio then it will work.

This will be automatic in xAnime ;)

Eretria-chan

Ah, I had a lot of operations running a little while ago, pretty much being unable to use RA. I will test now.
By the way, it is hard to manage your current list because your GUI is so tiny. You could maybe add something to allow expanding the GUI, open another window perhaps, or remove the directory paths. Also allow re-ordering of the list. I had to clear the list so that I could put the avs-file on top to try it.

I used your previous example to put the file into AVS. I used the command line to encode the audio, and unticked "encode audio" in RA. I encoded the avs file by dragging it and encoding it.

EDIT: I managed to successfully merge it with mkvmerge, however, so no harm done I guess. Still, nuisance.

"skip audio" only work well for OGM, MKV and MP4.

What skip audio actually does it to merge the source in the output, whitout encoding it. Your AVS had audio, so RealAnime "merged it" in MKV, which failed.

Use: DirectShowSource("c:\001.avi", audio=false)
before using it in RealAnime

It seems to me it tried to mux the avs-file instead of the sound.

When you uncheck "Encode audio", UOutput takes the audio from the source and put it in MKV. Your source is AVS and can't be put in the final MKV. So, you need to disable the audio from the source then merge manually the video encoded with RealAnime with the audio you encoded manually.

RealAnime can only get audio when "Encode audio" is not checked in OGM, MKV and MP4. It will fail (like you had) with AVS, MPEG, AVI, etc.

Then it seems to be that it is a limitation, or a bug, since it was trying to merge the actual video file with the encoded one.

video: video.mkv.mkv
output: E:\Anime\2x2=Shinobuden - 01.mkv

no problem

Ummm... no.

[2006-04-21 : 22:43:22] : F:\RealAnime 4\mkv\mkvmerge.exe --title "Encoded with : RealAnime 4.1.2" -o "E:\Anime\2x2=Shinobuden - 01.mkv" --language 0:und "F:\RealAnime 4\temp\video.mkv.mkv" --aac-is-sbr 0 --language 0:jpn "G:\w00t\Mina videoklipp\Anime\Videos\2x2=Shinobuden\2x2=Shinobuden - 01.avs"

I assume the -o switch means the output file: "E:\Anime\2x2=Shinobuden - 01.mkv"
Then we see the video: "F:\RealAnime 4\temp\video.mkv.mkv"
Then we see the AVS: "G:\w00t\Mina videoklipp\Anime\Videos\2x2=Shinobuden\2x2=Shinobuden - 01.avs"

But the AVS is the input file, yes? So why is it trying to merge the input file? Had it been a normal video file, it would mix two videos in the output, no? Because it isn't extracting the audio, and it isn't refering to an external audio file, or am I misinterpreting the command line?

I already explained it 2 times...
I also gave you a way to prevent that.

You could have said earlier that it was working :devil:
I did append an edit that I successfully muxed them.
And I posted no further complaints about this error re-occouring. Because, in fact, it hasn't. RA puffs along just fine, now.

I'm having two issues:

1) If you enter your desired bitrate and then change how many passes, RealAnime seems to just force the bitrate to change back to 318kbps. So if I set 1000kbit, and then change from 2 pass to 3 pass, RealAnime will magically change the entered bitrate to 318kbps. This is annoying as I've already made a couple of encodes without realizing it changed the bitrate to 318kbps

2) RealAnime is muxing both the source video stream from an AVI and the encoded h264 into the same container. So if I encode a 1GB Lagarith Lossless file with RealAnime, the resulting MKV has two video streams, 1) The 1GB Lagarith 2) The h264. I have to use MKVMerge to get the undesired video stream out of the file.

Sirber

1) Yeah, dropdown menus change some settings. Best set the bitrate at the end, and best not use 3 pass. Near to none quality boost.

2) Show me RealAnime.log

again with the crap audio :devil:

about video, 318kbps is too low, try something like 536kbps

Eretria-chan

23rd April 2006, 16:13

Perhaps you can help with a little something...
Some of my files have this annoying "rainbow effect." I don't know how to get rid of it. Apparently RA offers nothing to remove this? Concerning avisynth, well... I don't know what filters or whatever to use. I would like to get RID of it, however, when re-encoding it with RA.

Sirber

23rd April 2006, 16:56

Sorry, I don't know. Best ask in "AVISynth usage" forum.

Eretria-chan

23rd April 2006, 20:36

Any news on the audio front? Last time, 32kbps gave some small "artifacts" in the sound, so I've had to stuck with 48kbps. It's a shame, really...

Sirber

23rd April 2006, 22:15

Dunno, I use 32kbps daily and it ain't too bad. Some glitches sometimes, but something an audiophile would notice ;)

Also, using AAC HE or PS with a source that is 24Khz is a bad idea, since HE cuts to 22khz then reproduce to 44khz on playback.

Eretria-chan

23rd April 2006, 22:52

No, it was definetly noticeable, that "glitch." I must investigate into this "24 KHz bad idea" you mention.

Eretria-chan

24th April 2006, 11:05

So Sirber, can you help with the filter?
I get no picture:

LoadPlugin("mt_masktools.dll")
LoadPlugin("SSIQ.dll")

input = DirectShowSource("F:\BitComet\Downloads\One Piece\[K-F]_One_Piece_036_[3C09EFC5].avi")
SmartSSIQ(input, 255)

function SmartSSIQ(clip input, int "strength")
{
strength = default(strength, 200) #processing strength, 0-255

# apply rainbow remover to the entire video
derainbow = input.SSIQ(11, 300, false)

# create an edge mask from the rainbow video
lutexpr = "x .2 ^ 110 *"
# uncomment to use masktools 1
#edgemask = input.edgemask(thY1=1, thY2=255, type="sobel").inflate().yv12lut(yexpr=lutexpr).GreyScale()
edgemask = input.mt_edge(thY1=1, thY2=255, mode="sobel").mt_inflate().mt_lut(yexpr=lutexpr).GreyScale()

# apply ssiq only to masked area, using "strength"
result = overlay(input, derainbow, mode="blend", mask=edgemask, opacity=strength/255.0).Limiter()

return result
}

#Onepiece36

No matter what strength I use (0 or 255), the result is the same! I'll try another fillter in the meantime.

EDIT: Tried Derainbow, yet the artifacts won't disappear. Odd =/

LoadPlugin("MSharpen.dll")
LoadPlugin("MaskTools.dll")
LoadPlugin("MipSmooth.dll")

input = DirectShowSource("F:\BitComet\Downloads\One Piece\[K-F]_One_Piece_036_[3C09EFC5].avi")
return DeRainbow(input, 1000)

function DeRainbow(clip org, int "thresh")
{
assert(org.isYV12(),"DeRainbow() requires YV12 input!")
thresh = default(thresh, 10)

org_u = utoy(org)
org_v = vtoy(org)

msharpen(org, threshold = thresh, mask=true)
reduceby2()
greyscale()
uv = blur(1.5).levels(0,2.0,255,0,255, coring=false).blur(1.5).blur(1.5).levels(50,2.0,255,0,255, coring=false)

v_final = MaskedMerge(org_v, filtered_v, uv)

return ytouv(u_final, v_final, org)

First script: black screen.
Second script: rainbow effect still there.

Sirber

24th April 2006, 12:43

k

since your trouble is with the filter and not how to make it work under RealAnime, best continue to ask in AVISynth forums.

Eretria-chan

24th April 2006, 12:48

Sirber, you should concider to add to RA, that when it encounters an error (like bad sampling rate), it should flash for attention, or skip the error and notify in some other way (this is what I recommend).
Because I don't want to monitor RA all the time. Or perhaps you could try something for xAnime.

Sirber

24th April 2006, 12:58

You mean when I detect 24k sounds?

Eretria-chan

24th April 2006, 13:02

When any error occours. I had two clips that had 40k sounds, too.

Sirber

24th April 2006, 13:07

oh, you mean when an error occurs, to make the tray icon blink or any other visual thing?

Eretria-chan

24th April 2006, 13:41

Yes, some notice of a sort so I know there was an error.
But preferbly, RA should also skip the file there was an error with so that, for example, when I am not at the computer, it will continue to encode without waiting for me to fix the error.

Sirber

24th April 2006, 13:57

Yes, some notice of a sort so I know there was an error.
But preferbly, RA should also skip the file there was an error with so that, for example, when I am not at the computer, it will continue to encode without waiting for me to fix the error.What if all your files are alike and RealAnime skip them all?

Eretria-chan

24th April 2006, 13:59

There is no point in trying to encode anything if RA can't encode it, is it? If all files are faulty, then so be it. I'll have to fix them, somehow, manually so that RA CAN work with them.

Sirber

24th April 2006, 14:03

I'll check what I can do.

Sirber, would it be desirable to select other resolutions to resize to? Perhaps like a percentage of the original resolution? I tried encoding a video made by FRAPS, which had a resolution of 1200x800. Widescreen resolution, that is. Resizing to 4:3 is not that desirable, is it?

Sirber

27th April 2006, 17:17

you can set manually the rez you want.

[width]x[height]

Eretria-chan

27th April 2006, 17:34

I see... I will do so, then.
Also RA lets you select bitrates which apprently BeSweet cannot encode (eg, 12). Should something be done about that?

Sirber

27th April 2006, 17:39

8 and 12... wierd

might remove them one day... or the day after.

Eretria-chan

27th April 2006, 20:20

I just tried to a test encode with a video taken with FRAPS from Oblivion... needless to say, even at -6 filtering, it smoothes out too many details. Perhaps it's just the low bitrate (200 kbps), or is it? It was merely a test to see if I could lower the bitrate somewhat and still keep the details in the movie.

Sirber

27th April 2006, 21:52

what is your rez?

Eretria-chan

27th April 2006, 21:54

640 x 400

Sirber

27th April 2006, 21:58

I don,t even do 200kbps for anime... try 500 or higher.

Eretria-chan

27th April 2006, 21:59

Yep, I noticed that. I tried 500 and it is... okay. With no filtering, since it removes much detail.

anne_so78

29th April 2006, 00:45

xAnime looks cool! Hey Sirber, could you remove B-Frame tweaking in xAnime and just provide great presets like Sharktooth's profiles (eg. StaxRip) ? I hope you haven't removed the "delay" function or the delay bug has been finally corrected... Have you considered including the new Winamp codec (don't know if it is better) ?

Sirber

Sirber, could it be possible to implement a checkbox to allow the encoding process to continue with the next file when x264 or besweet throws an error? I think that would be a really useful feature for those that have the computer on most of the time but aren't around to notice that there was an error. It's really frustrating when you leave your pc on to encode a few episodes, go away and when you return you find out the first file made besweet go mad :P

Sirber

I already have that fixed in RealAnime 5. In case of error, it will continu to the next file. Later you will see in the file list what has failed and what has worked. Also, no more besweet in RA5 :D

I already complaind about it to Sirber and so it will be in RA5. But when it will be out, no one can say. Save for Sirber self, of course...

Also, I listed RA5 as ONE of the posibilities for the failing besweet ;)

@Nessmaster

open your video file in VirtualDubMod, go to Strem list, and demux your audio track to a WAV file.
or
Open the video in winamp 5.21+ and select WaveOut as the Output audio plugin, to get a WAV file too.
(if you play another video container, add it to the properties of in_dshow.dll , like i add WMV: [MPG;MPEG;M2V;AVI;WMV] )

the encode your wave file with oggdropXPdV1.8.7-aoTuVb4.51P4 and import your ogg vorbis files with mkvtoolnik 1.65, to create a video+audio.mkv file (the video is generated win RA ;) )

good luck

Hey Sirber, how about adding Sharktooth's x264 profile's and removing the B-Frame option for RealAnime 5... I plan on releasing a complete series on Bittorrent using your great program, so I need real good settings for a real good encode. And could you please add an option to remove that "Encoded with RealAnime" thingy... Have you still not corrected those typos? And what about the calculator, does it still not consider over-head? And what's with this RealAnime name anyway. Most folks don't use RealNetworks codecs, and there are lot more things your program can encode than anime. You've spent a lot of time on this great program. Now it's time to fix all the bugs without introducing new ones, remove useless options, add essential ones, correct typos, clean up the interface, give the program a new proper name and finish developing interfaces for human beings (RealAnime, xAnime) except for major bugfixes or non-user-serviceable encoder updates...
Then sit back and relax sipping some iced-tea:)
These are my humble opinions only. Good Luck!

Sirber

Also, RealVideo is dead popular in China.

This is the only server that we have, i currently looking to change the files from place since my current hosting is really bad, they have to much load/servers and their bandwidth is bad too. if you want to have the files located on detritus (files.detritus.qc.ca/ ...) you can wait at night GMT ( around 20h EST) because our servers are in europe and the bandwith is much better at this time. or you can download it at this speed.

The web site is hosted on a normal adsl connection in Quebec. depending if i take a new dedicated server or not it might change place. Sorry for the inconveniance.

if you have only reinstalled realanime over the old install, i'll suggest you to rename the folder "real anime4" to another name and reinstall real anime, maybe a dll wasn't correctly installed at this moment.

If not, i might send you a link with a dll package that i currently use.

Wierd that the installation of winamp causes the problem, with the actual programming of realanime, the dll's are forced to be used... but maybe winamp register the dll in the system and realanime didn't know witch dll to use. i'll take a note for realanime5, we might force the path for the dll

Thanks

Effectively, like Eretria-chan said, the dll are already in realanime package. The different thing that we can do it's in the code, that we specify the path of the dll that we want to use (in case that windows have registred the dll and realanime want to use this one instead)

Too long filename that causes that memory error?

Eretria-chan

Robutix

14th July 2006, 19:57

Gotcha, after renaming that file to "1.avi" it resumed peacefully...

Uhm, maybe i discovered some memory bug on string handling eh?

EDIT: Now I'm gonna check if the double video stream in the output will be corrected as well. :)

Sirber

14th July 2006, 20:04

I'm using normal "string" in delphi. I never encoured that bug before.

Robutix

14th July 2006, 21:02

Aha! The double video stream output only happens when I uncheck the 'encode audio' option. I use ordinary avi as input then the output mp4 produces stream 0 = avc1 (video), stream 1 = mp4v (video), then the last stream 2 = mpga (audio), according to VLC player. 3 streams total! If I leave the audio mp3 as is then this happens on the output. :confused:

So that's the bug of not ticking the "encode audio" box... hmmm.

Sirber

14th July 2006, 21:08

Only work with simple OGM/MKV/MP4.
In RA5 our system changed completly and everything goes through directshow for processing, whatever it is.

HA! I win! :D

Robutix

14th July 2006, 21:24

What's the use of that tick box anyway?! XD
Even in RA4 tweaking that feature is worthless~ It even bloated the ouput size to some MB greater than the original input. LOL!

I know I've asked you some dumb questions sometimes, which I had to ask in an other topic, but I really like your job and your iniciative. How sad you have to read such things.

I don't need any Real Anime support either, every my problems are about audio and video output. I just wish you to keep developing your great software (and disponiblizing it for us), anyway you want, cause it's really really useful.

About not adding nerodigital, I was encoding with it, but this week I had encoded a music (Kelly Clarkson - Because of You, if you want to test) and her initial breathing sounded really bad, I tested with encaacplus and noticed that it's very better at same bitrate (24kbps), even 18kbps sounds better than nero in ~20kbps (Q0.08). So I think encaac is the best bet (sorry if this have nothing to do with RA).

Btw, about that I asked you, read it from wikipedia (not sure if you read too):Replaygain

Replaygain is the name of a technique invented to achieve the same playback volume of audio files. It specifies the reference level of 89dB and an algorithm to measure the perceived loudness of audio data.

Replaygain is different from normalization. In normalization, you merely ensure that the peak amplitude reaches a certain level. However, songs with 'spiky' waveforms might not be amplified enough. The replaygain technique measures the effective power (i.e. RMS after an Equal Loudness Filter) of the waveform, and amplifies the waveform accordingly. The result is that replaygained waveforms are usually more uniformly amplified that normalized waveforms.I've listened replaygained sound and found that it's better than normalized sound. So I was wondering if you could add this to realanime 5, like a selectable nomalization method option, cause it's really nice.
Thanks!

Sirber

31st July 2006, 12:30

we are still developping RA, no worry.

about replaygain, I could add it if you find how to do it.

(total 7 reinstall windows xp pro from scratch !! and the result same!!!). And I look in log, finally !! I know that the error cause of the file audio is not yet produce by "avstowav"!!! :scared:
when I check, that was need file mvp10...dll (i forgot the name, i think that C++ library). I check in my system 32 folder then I just find mvp11...dll (newer vers). I find that mvp10....dll in my hardisk (mybe i found it!) and I find it in my game battlefiled2! after that (I copied the mvp10...dll to system32), that realanime 4 is can go smoothly without problem until now!!! ;)

9th August 2006, 13:51

it's besweet error #84 and it don't start to encode and dont do anything but I dunno why -.- Can it be because I replaced the besweet plugins with the newest versions ? (coz I want to be up-to-date *g*)
plz help me or I'm going crazy

Hi, I tried to encode an anime file through Real Anime 4 a few months back and I found it dropped frames even when I told it not to. Is this a codec issue or a RA issue? Thanks :)

Hi, I tried to encode an anime file through Real Anime 4 a few months back and I found it dropped frames even when I told it not to. Is this a codec issue or a RA issue? Thanks :)You don't provide enough information. RealAnime don't drop frames since RealAnime is not an encoder. It can be caused by dshow decoders or the codec you are using.

check

23rd August 2006, 13:34

whoops, that post was a bit hasty sorry. I was encoding with RV40, and had unchecked the "dropdupe" checkbox. Playing back with the latest Real Alt. (1.49?) there were dropped frames in the output.
Here's a post I made on the problem: http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=33737&page=4#69
My question can be rephrased as: is this a feature of RA, or a feature of the Real encoder?

Sirber

Producer may drop frames if bitrate is too low. I don't remember if RealAnime set the "no drop frames" flag. Gonna check.

Is this drop dupeframes issue you're facing makes your video play faster and made the audio async with the video? Where the still moments of the video became shorter than normal?

I have a problem with RealAnime, sort of... I have two PCs... One I use alot mainly, the other as a backup, which I occasionally run video processing and stuff on. I recently started using RealAnime, on my main PC, and decided to use it on my other PC... However... when I went to convert, I got a Merge Error #3! Thinking maybe RealAnime might not be able to handle OGM files, I tried on my main PC the same file, and it transcoded fine! I don't really get what is the problem... Both can play the video file, BTW.

RealAnime is unicode, works only with Windows 2000 and XP. You will need to get mkvtoolnix for windows 95/98:

Encoder error #-1073741819 (BeSweet)

Hi I'm New to this tool

So this is for avi re-encoding NOT dvd-ripping. Theres a big difference I guess.
And the profiles inthis tool are specific for anime am I right?

I have a friend who showed me a .mkv file (anime series) wich looked very very good.
it had absolutely nil interlacing and picture was
very sharp@
~135MB for 24 minutes of video

Ar there any tools that can help me uncover what codec and settings were used?

The series was wichtblade the anime
the name of doom9 member DSPguru.doom9.org was also mentioned.And I found no 4cc in stream 0 :(

I have some he-man original series DVDs that I would like to copy and convert & store for my personal use.
(dvds are from a friend of mine)
It has also similar motion as anime.
still pictures with only mouth talking.

What do you guys suggest I use to rip ?
I'm thinking between XVID (but do no trust xvid as much anymore),
RMVB (since I read rmvb is really good with anime since RV9E),
Or H264

Each episode is about 20 min long I guess,
and target file could be around 150-200MB ?
(other suggestions welcome ofcourse thanks and I'll give them a try)
I just need some pointers so I can get started.

BTW do any of the tools llike EasyRMProducer or this one, or AutoGK deinterlace
source material automatically before coding?
I did some reading and am just aware de-interlacing helps improve output much! :D

Thanks.

Thanks.RealAnime is ment to produce high quality small files (50 - 85MB depending on RA version). Most fansubbers make 170MB (xvid + mp3 + avi) or 235MB. RealAnime recode those into smaller files in H264 and AAC+ v2.

Size wise to get similar quality:

xvid > rv10 (rv9e) > h264

damrod

6th October 2006, 19:07

For myself, i reencode in h264 with 435ko for video and 48/64 for audio in aac+ v2
Make 80-85Mo files from 170-250Mo source... :-)

i even saw 350Mo file for 22minutes of anime...i was too scared to look at the video bitrate of this sort of source ;)

Sirber

6th October 2006, 19:09

I'm at 268kbps H264 with 32kbps AAC+ v2 (RA5's default), which gives ~52MB for 24 minutes.

@damrod

AAC+ v2 doesn't work at 64kbps ;)

6th October 2006, 19:20

thanks for the replies!

I found a utility that could tell me wich mpeg4 codec was used for that witchblade anime! :)

Its h264!!!! :D

The quality is so good I refuse to believe it was a re-encode????

Anyway I still had this question,
Do tools like realanime, autogk or easyrealmedia producer de-interlace video automatically before starting the encode?
Or do I have to invoke de-interlacing manually with some avisynth command?

(yes I;m still a noob, but I;m learning!!! :D )

Sirber

6th October 2006, 19:24

In realanime you can activate deinterlace or inverce telecine (30 FPS --> 24 FPS) from the filtering section. By default RealAnime does not pre-filter.

6th October 2006, 20:16

@sirber
i know it doesn't works at 64 :-)
i use v1@64 and v2@48

i'm still between 1h15 and 2h00 in 3passes, epending on the quality (the last pass have different parameters)

Hi

I'm usin RA4.2 to encode some OGM file into mkv keeping both audio's and the sub.

but the problem is that i got an error report message from the windows & the progrm stops conversion....

here is a part of the log file:
[10/22/2006 : 2:05:07 AM] : Error: Failure to load reader for file C:\Program Files\RealAnime 4\temp\2.avs
[10/22/2006 : 2:05:07 AM] :

[10/22/2006 : 2:05:07 AM] :

is that may be due to my codec pack - i use ACE MEGA 6.03 - ???

plz help
:confused:

Helix Producer crached. Nothing I can do.
Sure running a codec pack is no good, but I cannot blame it directly since I lack infos.

RealAnime 5 doesn't keep all subs and audio, and surely producer is the same as in RA4.

[edit]

best fill a bug report to realnetworks, but I wouldn't have much hope.

It might help to uninstall that codec pack and use ffdshow instead. Much more error proof.

sirber, are realanime4 can rip the subtitle direct to the video?
I still don't know how to use it.
I try to encode the dvd video, but without subtitle at all?
or anybody can give me a step to do it?

RealAnime 5 could do it, not 4.
You'd need to use AVISynth manually to achieve that with RealANime 4

hm.......
argh..... >_< still can't use realanime 5 to my video source :)
I think I'll use the 2nd method, thanks for quick replay!

Okay,... i've found out about HardSub Video..
and now i need some info about
i'm trying to get Anime to my PPC.. Xvid+Vorbis=MKV in TCPMP... on (not mine LOOX420 and mine iPAQ1910..). both 320x240, but in 4.1.2 i've found out that RA produces(when i set Resize to 320x240) MKVs with brocen AspectRatio.. (if i have 16:9 video input.. it makes 4:3 output)..
is it possible to encode with MAXRes of 320x240 with the SAME AR as in Input? (answer may be for RA4 and RA5(as fas as RA5 has HardSub option))

*i'm currently downloading 5.0.0 and 4.2, but i'll have files only tomorrow.. and i'm leaving in about 10 mins :) ...

both RA (v4 and v5) are deprecated. You can manually feed both version with AVS script, which uses VSfilter for hardsub.

no-no-no.. ;) ... i DO know how to use AVSes.. but if i have LOTS-O-Files, that are RAW + ExtASS-Subz.. so what.. i do need to MAKE all those AVSes.. and calculate AR manually? ...
damn :( ...

Well, bencos does hardsub and AR resize automaticly. But, it's currently limited codec-wise: x264 and AAC-HE/PS.

i think i've posted the same earlier in this thread ;) :
"Too BAD :( "... i'll continue searching for another prog :(

but.. i did as you seggested:
AviSynth Batch Scripter +
LoadPlugin("VSFilter.dll")
Clip="%PATH%\%CLIP%"
directshowsource(Clip+".%EXT%")

#i stole this part of code freom AutoMKV
fixed_aspect = 1
c_width = width
c_height = Round(height / fixed_aspect)
input_par = float(float(c_width)/float(c_height))
input_par = input_par > 1.4 ? input_par : (4.0/3.0)
out_width = 320
out_height = Round(float(out_width) / input_par)
hmod = out_height - (floor(out_height / 16 ) * 16)
out_height = (hmod > 4) ? (out_height + (16 - hmod)) : (out_height - hmod)
#new_aspect = (float(out_width) / float(out_height)) / fixed_aspect

LanczosResize(out_width,out_height)

TextSub(Clip+".ass")
350kBps + OGG-64 = Nise and smooth and sexy 24Mins=82Mb MKV Clip :) ... thanks for the tool...

BTW.. is there any option to TextSub so it would make the fonts a bit BiGgger.. ??? (i can modify ASSscripts,.. but i'm too lazy)

Can Realanime take mpx video format as input file?

OT: Where can I find a mpx sample? AOL asked me whether it would be fine for them to send me the content in mpx format instead of mpeg - which will take time to transcode.

Thanks.

never heard of .mpx files.
also realanime 4 is almost 2 years outdated ;)
