RealAnime 4 - General Questions and Troubleshooting Thread

[Sirber]

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]

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

[Sirber]

in the logs, is x264 using 2 threads?

[Eretria-chan]

[2006-03-14 : 23:03:17] : ***** Encoding Video to x264 File (x264) *****

Indeed...
I will now test without animeLQ. Settings are normal: Medium quality, 318 bitrate, yada yada, though 48 kbps aac audio. And no filtering. At all.

[Sirber]

ok. then I don't know :p

[Eretria-chan]

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

[Sirber]

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

[Eretria-chan]

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]

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 ;)

[Eretria-chan]

You mean you actually made the program intelligent enough to slow things down if you are a bad person? You bastard! ;)

[^_^x]

sirber, this the error code from tomorrow
http://anane.wyger.nl/img/realanime.jpg

note: it popup in all profile except normal

[Sirber]

use imageshack.us, I don't get it.

[anne_so78]

I don't get it.
that image (error box) says, "Floating point division by zero."

[Sirber]

hum...

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.

[Sirber]

RealAnime access violation if I wanna "Info" while encoding then goes in an infinite loop of crash report popup if I close RealAnime.

also, on this source, video doesn't get extracted:

[^_^x]

sorry, 2 more days. i am on vocation now.
but when trying to encode other file(this time), there is no error.

i may conclude that's not your app bug, as you said.

[Sirber]

Just fellow that page (https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=sirber@gmail.com&no_shipping=1&item_name=RealAnime) so I can know your email address and I will mail the answer to ya ;)

[^_^x]

tadaa....,
yawn .......,
wrong answer
he..he..he...........

[Sirber]

At least I tryed :)

[Sirber]

Found a bug with MKV:

http://www.detritus.qc.ca/index.php?entry=entry060316-152819

Also, I'm wondering, what if I drop DropDupe for RV10 and use the "new rate control"? It might decrease wuality on low bitrate but it will always hit the desired filesize.

[clone83]

@Sirber: i dont think that people r going to choose filesize over quality.... to me i think that i would prefer to have more quality then filesize

[killerhex]

easy for you to say clone83 you probably have a lot of HD space most people dont

[Eretria-chan]

I would care more for quality. I never estimate filesizes, really... I would take acceptable quality and let the filesize become as it may be...

[Sirber]

@clone83

Did I miss something? What are you talking about?

[clone83]

Also, I'm wondering, what if I drop DropDupe for RV10 and use the "new rate control"? It might decrease wuality on low bitrate but it will always hit the desired filesize.

that is what im talking about

[Sirber]

a curve means constant quality using VBR. Every popular codecs use the curve.

[killerhex]

how do i encode this video into xvid i tried 2 times and it wont work the video is h.264/avc
i get memcoder error #1

[Sirber]

Don't you feel your bug report miss some things?

http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html

[Sirber]

What does RealAnime.log say?

[Sirber]

[3/19/2006 : 1:46:39 AM] : ============ Sorry, this file format is not recognized/supported =============
[3/19/2006 : 1:46:39 AM] : === If this file is an AVI, ASF or MPEG stream, please contact the author! ===
[3/19/2006 : 1:46:39 AM] : Cannot open demuxer.Does the 2.avs play in MPC?

[killerhex]

you talking to me sirber

[Sirber]

Who else?

[killerhex]

what you mean AVS

[Sirber]

Thanks for wasting my time. Have a nice day.

[killerhex]

the when i played the muxed mkv its says 2.avs theres not directshowsource plugin in avisynth

[Sirber]

"Output same as source" don't work! Crap software!!! :devil:

[loutros]

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 ?

:(

[Sirber]

I don't know. Look in RealAnime.log.

[killerhex]

hey sirber how do i crop a 512x384 4:3 to 640x360 16:9

[Sirber]

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

[Soshen]

you add the possibility to change video encoding mode in other way to "sharp" ?

[Sirber]

I need more infos for your question.
Also, some "please" and "Can you" would be better. :sly:

[Eretria-chan]

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]

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]

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]

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.

RealAnime can't make automatic resizing when AVS input.
MPEG is AVS input :)

Go in Filtering and set your resize by hand.

[^_^x]

just like that.
Hmm.......

[Sirber]

MediaInfo don't support AVS yet, so I can't get infos from it.
