RealAnime 4 - General Questions and Troubleshooting Thread

[Sirber]

please empty your temp file in RA4 folder and retry.

[Robutix]

I think I got the culprit. It only crashes on this file on my list:
FM_feat_Holly_Brook-Whered_You_Go_(Jay_Leno_show_24-05-2006).avi

Too long filename that causes that memory error?

[Eretria-chan]

Sirber, are you using short fixed-length strings? Or do you use string classes? Not sure how it is in Delphi, but if you did use short buffers, then that is a serious mistake :sly:

[Robutix]

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]

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

[Robutix]

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]

Only work with simple OGM/MKV/MP4.
In RA5 our system changed completly and everything goes through directshow for processing, whatever it is.
told ya not to uncheck that box :p

HA! I win! :D

[Robutix]

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!

Good thing you recoded the whole thing in RA5! So it should be left with serious options to messed up with, huh? By that this feature has to be blown along with other code-craps. XD

[Sirber]

It was in advanced tab, so you wasn't supposed to touch it! ;)
It's main use is hope ;)

Best use VDub as I said :)

[killerhex]

try looking at the LOG file thru a text program youll see whats wrong

[Robutix]

Best use VDub as I said :)
That means I'm letting go of high quality compression of x264 in exchange for higher bitrate of music. :scared:

[Sirber]

you can have high quality x264 with vdub too, you just have to choose the right settings!

or merge your AVIs in MKV then retry in RA4.

How saad RealAnime 5 post was closed, just because some people only know how to argue and argue, criticize, not even a "thank you for this man, it's really great!", just: "why don't you do that?/This is really bad, I didn't like it, make how I want!..."
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.
But, are you going to stop RA5 development because of that? I really wish you wouldn't. And thank you for this man, it's really great!

[Sirber]

RA5 will be finished, no worry. We will just not support (read technical support, user support) it, nor releasing early version (alphas, betas). So it will be out when ready.

[Eretria-chan]

No support? What if users run into problems? Should they just scrap RA and get MeGUI?

[Sirber]

No support? What if users run into problems? Should they just scrap RA and get MeGUI?Yes. Or post here and hope someone will answer. I have no will nor time for user support.

[Eretria-chan]

I see...
Harsh, though.

[Weltall]

lol
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]

we are still developping RA, no worry.

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

[ggab]

i'm here to say ThAnKs to Sirber and LAIN!

RA5 will be great, sure :)

[and-y]

report!

I always have problem to use RA4 (all version) which problem is when the audio ripping begin (besweet error).
Thats happen when I re install my windows, I think first, that error happen couse I wrong to coztumize my windows setting, or maybe my codec setting, or mybe realanime installation..... (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!!! ;)
end of report.... :cool:

sirber, we'll always support all of your project, please realease your creativity!!! :cool:

[and-y]

ok , thanks for you both ^_^

[and-y]

sirber, about realanime 5, why I can't insert file *.dat and *.mpg directly? is realanime not support to both of this file again? (mpeg1 and mpeg2)

[and-y]

ups, sori.... I will post this to new thread realanime 5 (I just know that... ;) )

[YouDontKnowMe]

why dont u open it per avisynth with mpegsource ? realanime5 supports avs :D

[Sirber]

RealAnime 5 doesn't support AVS, MPEG, DAT yet.

[Robutix]

^ The yet there means it will be in the Final? How about wmv?

[Sirber]

dunno, why not?

[clone83]

sirber is it possible to put rmvb as an input to re-encode to x264?

[Sirber]

you can make an AVS for it, but it's not recomended.

[YouDontKnowMe]

I have a problem with realanime 4 (4.2.0) I just cant use AAC PS but HE and LC, I want to use PS too, can anyone help me ?? do I need some spec. files or runtime's ?

anyways when RealAnime supports AVS there is no problem for inputting wmv rmvb and so on just keep up the great work and anybody HELP ME :p

[Sirber]

it's the same codec for LC, HE and PS, so all 3 should work. what is the error?

[YouDontKnowMe]

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

[Sirber]

use RA5 ;)

I cannot debug besweet, and it's pretty buggy.

[YouDontKnowMe]

RA5 is just in alpha stages xD I will wait until a stable version is out but RA5 looks really cool and has many good features I hope we aren't a lot away the stable coz I'm now unhappy with RA4 (dunno why, can it be coz of my always want to being up-to-date?!) anyways thanxs for your help

[Danisan]

Do you have another way of downloading the RealAnime 5.0.0 alpha 1 fix? Mooload insist on giving me a file that's 0KB.

[LAIN]

Danisan, there is a thread related to real anime 5

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=857785#post857785

Well take a look to put the fixes on our own server (way faster and we stilll have a lot of bandwidth to use !!!)

[Danisan]

Oh! Sorry about that! :o

[killerhex]

sirber on v4.2.0 i keep getting errors #-1073741819 (Producer (rv10 or aac+))

[Sirber]

sirber on v4.2.0 i keep getting errors #-1073741819 (Producer (rv10 or aac+))Not a relanime problem or bug. Report that to producer team. You could try to upgrade producer to the last version.

[killerhex]

where could i do that

[Sirber]

[killerhex]

updated it

i saw the log in RA folder its says this

play the avs in MPC
look at the error
correct the error

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.
