[Sirber]

Did you uncheck "Encode audio"?

If so, same error as Eretria-chan on previous page.

[Eretria-chan]

So what is the recommended bitrate for non-anime contents? I have a few of those videos, too.

[Sirber]

dunno, hard to say whitout framesize and FPS... how about "higher than normal"?

I'm pretty sure most other episodes of video are similar.

[Sirber]

again with the crap audio :devil:

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

[Eretria-chan]

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]

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

[Eretria-chan]

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]

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]

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

[Eretria-chan]

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)

filtered_u = org_u.mipsmooth(spatial=255, temporal=255, scenechange=3, show=false, method="strong", scalefactor=0.5)
filtered_v = org_v.mipsmooth(spatial=255, temporal=255, scenechange=3, show=false, method="strong", scalefactor=0.5)

u_final = MaskedMerge(org_u, filtered_u, uv)
v_final = MaskedMerge(org_v, filtered_v, uv)

return ytouv(u_final, v_final, org)
}

#Onepiece36

[Sirber]

if you playback the AVS, do you see any changes?

[Eretria-chan]

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

[Sirber]

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]

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]

You mean when I detect 24k sounds?

[Eretria-chan]

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

[Sirber]

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

[Eretria-chan]

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]

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]

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]

I'll check what I can do.

[killerhex]

[Eretria-chan]

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]

you can set manually the rez you want.

[width]x[height]

[Eretria-chan]

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]

8 and 12... wierd

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

[Eretria-chan]

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]

what is your rez?

[Eretria-chan]

640 x 400

[Sirber]

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

[Eretria-chan]

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

[anne_so78]

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]

@anne_so78

you could have posted that in xAnime thread ;)

[Sirber]

Development for RealAnime 4.x branch is over.

Dev for RealAnime 5.x started.

[Nessmaster]

I have a problem when encoding my Cowboy Bebop episodes.

The file "seems" ok video and audio wise. All the other 24 episodes (there are problems with two files only) encoded superbly with great quality sound and a video. I don't know what the problem is or how to go about fixing it.:confused:

If I need to post more info about the problem, please tell so I can go and fetch it. Anything for a possible solution cause this is driving me nuts now:eek:

EDIT: Oh yeah, I am using version 4.1.2

@
Nessmaster


what audio setting did you use

[Sirber]

@Nessmaster

Besweet access violation, nothing I or you can do. Best is to make an uncompressed version (AVI) with virtualdubmod then retry in RealAnime. Good luck.

[Nessmaster]

@

what audio setting did you use

ACC HE - 64kbps

@Nessmaster

Will do, thanks for the quick reply guys ;)

[killerhex]

ACC HE - 64kbps

i only been having trouble with

ACC Lc - 64kbps-128kbps setting it wont let me encode to it

[Sirber]

if LC don't work why didn't you report the bug?
