RealAnime 4 - General Questions and Troubleshooting Thread

[Kayser]

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

You're not the first one to complain about this :sly:
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 ;)

[Kayser]

Wow, thanks Sirber! I'm eagerly waiting for the next release of RealAnime ;)

[Sirber]

I shall have RealAnime 10 before DirectX 10 :devil:

[damrod]

besweet is not so sweet ;)

[Sirber]

that's why you have to be sweet ;)

[killerhex]

im getting error #-1073741819 (besweet)

[Sirber]

nothing I can do. contact besweet author.

[Nessmaster]

Encode the audio manually or wait for RA5 ;)

How would I encode the audio manually? Kinda nub here so any help is apreciated:D

[ggab]

@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]

Why not posting that in RealAnime 5 dev thread? You would have seen what RA5 looks like and what it does ;)

Also, RealVideo is dead popular in China.

[modsoul]

is there anyway to input an avisynth script into realanime ?
i tried opening but but it gives an error.

[damrod]

i'm not sure

and since sirber plays with the koalas...wait and see :p

[Kerosan]

Is there a mirror? your site is really slow

[LAIN]

Is there a mirror? your site is really slow


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.

[Sirber]

@modsoul

It can input AVS. What error does it gives you?

[LAIN]

Hi,

I'v manage to transfer the web site of servers, the web site will be down for few hours tomorrow around ~8am GMT.

i'll send you the new links when it will be up. files.detritus.qc.ca might not response, it will need dns modification and i dont have the information to do so.

I hope that we will have less problem with this cluster.

sorry for the inconveniance

* I'll send link tomorrow during the afternoon (PST)

I demuxed the audio with VirtualDubMod, and saved it as a wav, and when I tried to encode it with OggDropXP it gave me these two errors respectivly:

http://img280.imageshack.us/img280/3971/error8pp.jpg

So there is something corrupt about the audio file? What can I do to skip the problem or anything to fix it. I am in urgent need to convert these last two files! :(

[LAIN]

Hi,

the servers have been changed, there will be a downtime of few hours today, but the new links will be added directly on the web sites, you can download them at :

thank you for your patience.

try it with winamp :) or load your video with a new .avs file

create it with notepad:

directshowsource("video123.avi")

[Kayser]

I found something weird... it must be something silly on my side. I made a clean install of my system and now RealAnime shows "Encoder error #84 (BeSweet)". What does #84 means? I suppose I'm lacking something but can't figure out what.
Thank you in advance

Hi Kayser,
can you post me the "***** Encoding Audio to .AAC (BeSweet) *****" section until the error in the logfile ?

[Kayser]

Sure, sorry I forgot ^^;;

[damrod]

do you have
WA_aacPlus.dll
in you besweet directory?

[LAIN]

RealAnime is unable to load this dll :

Can't load enc_aacplus.dll!

Can you take a look if the file is available .... the other dll seem to load without any problem.

[Kayser]

I have both enc_aacplus.dll and WA_aacPlus.dll... They were packaged with RA if I'm not mistaken... Should I replace those with any other version or something?

[LAIN]

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.

[Kayser]

Edit: Fixed at last!! Seems like Winamp instalation (or something I installed after Winamp) messed something up somewhere. After updating to Winamp 5.23 the problem got solved... I'm still wondering what could that have been?
Thank you very much Damrod an LAIN!

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

[clone83]

Lain, maybe you guys should just include the dll's in ur installation instead of relying on peeps having winamp installed on there pc... it would also save some space on everyones pc as they wouldnt have to have winamp installed aswell.

[Eretria-chan]

They DO, as I don't have Winamp installed and it works.

[Kayser]

Yeah, that's what was funny... The DLLs were there to begin with :S

[LAIN]

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)

[Sirber]

BeSweet use the DLL in it's path, nothing else.

sirber i just tried to re-enocde an ep and selected mp4 output and it ended up being mkv.... can you please find out why this has happened..?

[alzou]

Sirber, (or anyone who can help me...) i have done some encoding inmy PC. but, the last time i try to encode, it always stopped right before the audio transcoding..
the error message is "Encode error #1073741819 (besweet)"

i always use realanime 4.1.3 to encode any video file to h.264+AAC(mp4). the setting is like this:

Profile : normal container : mpeg4

Video- audio
codec : x.264 codec:aac ps
quality: medium bitrate : 32kbps
mode : 2pass .do nothing
bitrate : 318 priority : normal

no changes in Adv, and Video Filtering. in Input track management i change to movieHQ...

can anyone please help me?

[Sirber]

sirber i just tried to re-enocde an ep and selected mp4 output and it ended up being mkv.... can you please find out why this has happened..?RA did not like soemthing and reverted to MKV. Could be what you are encoding cannot be stored in MP4.

RA did not like soemthing and reverted to MKV. Could be what you are encoding cannot be stored in MP4.

umm i was trying to do Ah My Goddess S2 by AonE. so i cant see why it wouldnt like it...?

[Sirber]

dunno. post the Info (right click, info).

[Sirber]

a fix for the "crash on exit" is coming. I found why it was crashing while coding RA5.

[Robutix]

Crash on exit? Is it crashing before RA itself closes down?

Looks like it happened to me a month ago. I thought it was just my OS misbehaving again that time. :p

[Sirber]

all your encodes are finished, then you press the X to close RealAnime 4. The window disappear and an error popup in loop.

[Sirber]

RealAnime 4.2.0 released:

http://www.detritus.qc.ca/index.php?entry=entry060713-073502

[Robutix]

Wahh, I dunno why, but I encode some vids and then interrupted it after the 2nd input file then RA crashed. Then I tried to encode 1 file again then after it successfully encoded it RA crashed again before it closes itself. Whyyyyy? This happened after the 4.2 patch...

[Sirber]

[edit]

gonna test tonight.

[Robutix]

Also, the encoded output produces two streams of video... I tried different settings using x264 but still retains the same bi-screen output. I only played the output using VLC player since other players reject it. :(
