Old AutoRV10 discussion (closed)

[MSlv]

thanks. It works. I used mkvtoolnix-0.9.4 from matroska.org, and the gui (mmg.exe) makes it so simple... Is it possible to multiplex the rmvb video stream with other audio stream, like ac3 or mp3?

[Dark-Cracker]

yes u can mux in matroska most of the newest audio codec : ogg , aac, mp3, ac3 ....
read in the www.matroska.org siteweb the list of the supported audio format.

After the convertion was 100% (after 2nd pass), AutoRV10_v1.0_b4 gave me this error:Run-time error "9":

Subscript out of range
I don't know what's wrong. I have now 2 .rmvb files, one is the movie and the other one is the credits. Is there a way to join them toghether?

[Sirber]

Smells like VB :eek: ;)

[MSlv]

what can I do to prevent this from happening?
And HOW do I join the movie and the credits toghether?

[damrod]

yep

you must have a directory with the producer.exe i think

look if there is also a rmeditor.exe ...

if yes open a cmd window (execute -> cmd)

then go to this directory with the cd command....

type rmeditor.exe
it will give you info about how to use it ;-))

...ok i'm a good boy ;-))

http://damrod66.free.fr/rmeditor.exe => it's the cmdline app
http://damrod66.free.fr/rmed.exe => a gui in vb6 i wrote sometimes ago

there's a part "append files" : you click on add files, choose one by one in the good order you files then click on save as button

remember to put this file(s) in the same directory of producer.exe

[damrod]

normally you will not have pb with vb6 dlls : autorv10 is written in vb6 so you still have the dlls ;-)

[MSlv]

with rmed.exe:Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

[Sirber]

lol!!!

look on google, you can find all the needed DLL/OCX :)

[Dark-Cracker]

go in the rp9_light folder and use this command in the dos box :

rmeditor -i "c:\movie.rmvb -i "c:\credits.rmvb" -o "c:\final.rmvb"

of course think to change the path with the correct one.

to prevent a such error think to update with the b5 version.

[Sirber]

@DC

Why isn't AutoRV10 avalible on your website?

[damrod]

pff vb really sucks lol

[Dark-Cracker]

@sirber
it will be available in the download section of my siteweb once it will have finish the beta stage, for the moment it only available in my forum.

@damrod
plz avoid freeposting in this thread who have already a lot of posts . thx.

[Sirber]

That's very OT :o

++ I knew about the MMG .rmvb to .mkv conversion but I thought an integrated approach with the ability to use a variety of audio compression codecs might be an area to expand AutoRV10. But if you want to stick solely to RV and RA in .rmvb then that's fine. :) It's your project after all.

Hi,

i have made a quick build :)

url (5.6 mb) :
----------------
http://dark.pluridis.org/AutoRV10_v1.0_b6.zip

http://dark.pluridis.org/cpp71dll.zip

changelog :
--------------

- add alternative curve scaling.
- improve auto calc inloop cut off quantizer.
- improve IFO parser (better detection of subtitle/audio stream ID).
- improve preview speed during display.
- allow audio preview if directshow filter is found.
- remove the "streaming error" option
- limit Avisynth Memory usage.
- enable multithreads if Hyperthreading or MultiProcessor were detected
- at start check if the CPU support MMX instruction (needed for avisynth)
- display warning if CPU doesn't support iSSE instruction (needed for some filters).
- check if the c++ 7.1 dll are installed (needed for producer)
- check if there is a YV12 decompressor installed.
- improve dynamic cleaning (high/medium/low motion).

[Dark-Cracker]

i have also open an paypal count if u want to make donation and support my work u can find info here :

Bye.

[victorhooi]

Hi,

Great :D, can't wait to try it out. Just from a quick look (couple of secs), it seems you still can't resize the window - consequently, one of the buttons (can't see the label) at the bottom is hidden.

Also, any chance of including lower bitrates for audio?

Keep up the good work.

Bye,
Victor

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

yes the button "exit" is always out of the windows (lol i have not fix this matter yet) i will work on the cosmetic part once all the feature will be there.

for the audio i have not yet work on it but lower bitrate will be there in next release.

++

[karl_lillevold]

It could be very useful to be able to input/include an external file size for audio. Since other container formats are now in use with RV10, for instance AC3 and Vorbis, and one can mux these with the video track after compression, it would be convenient if AutoRV10 could include this filesize in its bitrate/filesize calculation. One could imagine a box where # of MB could be typed... Perhaps even the existing box on the "Codec" page could be made editable?

[Dark-Cracker]

yep this could be an intresting feature i will try to see the best way to include it in the GUI.

i am also thinking about add a way to enter manualy the output video bitrate and show separate video and audio bitrate in the codec panel but i still need to find enought free space in the panel.

[#2]

Sorry guys am I missing something obvious here? I've installed the latest avisynth. But I get this message every time I try to start Autorv10.

Win XP SP1

Autorv10 b6

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

read the first post it's writen where u can find a yv12 decompressor (here : http://dark.pluridis.org/yuvcodecs_1.2.exe)

++

[#2]

Thanks D-C. That opening post is comprehensive. Nice to have all the info in one place.

Cheers :)

[karl_lillevold]

#2: That's exactly what you need, and for the record, here is the the thread discussing these Helix YUV codecs (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56972&highlight=helix+yuv).

[#2]

I get this when trying to encode Clerks (B&W)

Run-time error "6":
Overflow

This only happens when I do the whole film. small test cuts work fine on the same settings.

-AMD optimisations
-PAL 4:3
-Anamorphic with out "keep croped..."
-Tomsmocomp
-Conv 3D, medium
-Undot
-E.H.Q. 100
-Normal motion
-Enable Black Filter
-Idle Process Priority

Heeps of space every where.
Any thoughts.

[karl_lillevold]

hmmm, I had an over-run with this tool as well, but I am not sure at the moment the exact cause. Maybe it was because the b6 version defaults to D-C's custom curve compression RC adjustment instead of the default one... There should be a new version soon. I have communicated with D-C about this problem, and I think we will hear from him soon as well ;)

[#2]

Thanks Karl.
If its any help D-C; This also happens on this flim with or with out the black filter enabled and also with the Alternative codec settings and the Linea codec settings.... Still testing.

[Sirber]

This is simply a VB bug. A step-by-step repro will show where it is and will be easier to fix.

[#2]

It crashes right at the end of the encode. Which means that each test takes 7-8 hrs. :\ It makes the credit part ok and then I think it may be crashing as it finalises the movie part of the encode. Either that or crashes on the join. I tryed it with out 'delete temp file' and ended up with a 1.3 MB tmp file and the same issue. I'll try it with out credits set and then with a smaller output file size (1315 MB ATM)

Sound good?

BTW on all encodes I get 1 Error saying "Unable to open codec mapping file F:\Autorv~2\Softs\Rp9_L~1\resources\CodecMapping.txt" If I create that file I don't get the error but then it is just a blank file...?

[Sirber]

That file is to override old codecs to new codecs. It can be blank.

[#2]

I reduced the file size from 1315 MB to 650 MB and got no overflow. Not setting credits made no difference. Hope that helps.

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

i think i have found the problem , the next release should solve this bug (a wrong var type during cleanning the code :) ).

i will release a quick build this week with the fix of the differents bugs reported.

++

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

just a quick release before i come back to school :)
i have made an installer (not yet 100% working i should add the yv12 codec and unicows.dll if win9x/me is detected).
i have fix all the reported bugs and add a few new functions but it's still the beta 6 (i should have call it beta 6.1 but not :) ).

changelog :
-----------

- allow to re use the first pass stat file.
- add EHQ and Anamorphic informations in the tag video
- limit minimum monitor resolution at 800x600 to launch autorv10
- correct mpeg2 color conversion and chroma limiter by default
- improve filter preset settings

cf first post for the full install.

Bye.

[#2]

Thanks D-C that fixed the problem with Clerks. I also like the filter presets better.

Should I be worried about any registry settings from old versions?

[Dark-Cracker]

no problem with the registry , all the info are stored in the autorv10.ini file :)

++

[karl_lillevold]

Nice work! Finally an installer again, no need to install old version to get things working for the first time.

This version works great for me, no errors to report. The introduction of dynamic pre-filters is cool, and I have switched to your alt cc rate control :) Finally, I noticed the new ColorMatrix as the final filter in your Avisynth script. I looked up its thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=82217&highlight=ColorMatrix) in the Avisynth forum, and compared with and without side-by-side using StackVertical in Avisynth. I can easily see the difference. ColorMatrix does make the colors look more natural. Very interesting.

Oh, what else: one can now set process priority for everything AutoRV10 starts, including audio conversion. This is another important detail. Previously I would have to lower its priority manually, since it runs for quite a while, leaving the computer rather unresponsive..

[hubereevez]

:scared:

Dark come back, my love .............:), up.......

Your GUI still does a great job with DVD, perfect with Hybridfupp filter on anime, movies (high preset)

Come back.....

hubert

[MSlv]

Yeah! A new build would be very nice, considering the updates in RV10...

Pleeeeeeeeease...

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

you will a new build the next week , i have find some free hours this weekend to add (again) the subtitle part, but unhappily i have found a bug so i will delay the build to correct it.

sorry if u have to wait but i am actually under exams :( and my studies come first, i will start my exams monday, and during 1 week i will have 8h * 5day exams :( once it's finish i will have 2 days of party :) (+ 8h to understand why i have an headache and who is this girl in my bed :) ), and the week after i have 2 oral tests one in communication on my report (generated after my previous year training period) and the other test is for my english courses and the TOEIC.
the week after i have to release 40 page of documentation for my "project management" courses, and after i an on hollyday but i still need to find my 6 month training period. as you can see i have a lot of thing to do so i think i will try to made the next update as stable as possible because i am not sure to have a lot of time to update it after.

Stay tuned :)

++

[tiki4]

Good luck to your exams! ... and provide some pictures of the girl that wakes up next to you. I guess we're also interested :D

tiki4

[hubereevez]

happy to see you again

i know you now, so I think I can ask this :

Could you make a new build priority with video encoding ? Eg producer, dvd2avi, new filter.......

i think other tool make a great job with sub and chapter already, but I know you will a all in one gui.

Thanks again dark anf goooooooo paypal erf

lol

hubert

[MSlv]

Yes, good luck with your exams and projects. I wish you the highest grades possible. It's nice to hear from you again. I just thought you were no longer developing this marvelous tool. What I want to find out is if future builds can improve speed, picture quality (just curious, great quality so far) and if you can add mkv output to the gui.

Thanks again for creating this. I gave up encoding in DivX, Xvid because of this and I don't regret it.

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

my exams have been finished with success (except for 1 test :( but everybody have find it hard) i have made a little party :) but unhappyly i don't have found a girl in my bed when i have awakened :(

but to stay on the topic , about the new build.

i have add the new version of the colormatrix and kerneldeint filters in the archive.

i still need to improve the subtitle part, actually it allow to add vobsub and text subtitles, but i add some improvement in the next build (such as only keeping forced subtitle or allow to made a preview of the text subtitle, or add a delay on the subtitle)

Q : How i see the futur ?
A : for the futur releases i will improve the subtitle part first , after i will improve the audio part (clean code dts support and add mono codec), and after i will improve the ripping panel (dvd with multiangle ...).

for the matroska support it will surely be added but after autorv10 will be enought stable and with all the needed options.

i have start to clean and add some speed/memory optimisations so i think this release should be really optimized :)

great, thanks ......;

oups, you forgot the hybridfupp filter :p

edit : erf it bugs : "erreur d'exécution "6" dépassemnt de capacité when i add a job"

[karl_lillevold]

Great news, but when I set up a job, and pressed the "Add Job" button, I got "Runtime error '6' Overflow" and the AutoRV10 exited :( Any ideas?

[damrod]

the pleasure of vb6 ;)

[Sirber]

Can be anything...

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

the bug have been corrected ( i have forget than in vb if you add 2 conditionnal tests in the if, the 2nd test is checked even if the first already return false).

i have add the fixed .exe in the same archive file (still the same url). you just have to re-download it again.

@damrod and sirber
this thread is already enough big plz avoid to post useless msg, thx.

Bye.

[karl_lillevold]

One step further.. Now, after audio was converted, I got a dialog box saying Producer error: maxBitrate needs to be larger than avgBitrate.. + much more text that I did not write down :( Thoughts?

EDIT: from the Movie.rpjf job file, after separate encoding of Credits:
<avgBitrate type="uint">941000</avgBitrate>
<maxBitrate type="uint">920000</maxBitrate>
so the problem can be avoided by not using separate encoding of Credits.
