Old RealAnime discussion

[Sirber]

I'm gonna add a batch muxer / demuxer in the tool menu. Will be easier this way.

[Sirber]

oh, I forgot, v2.00 is out! Grab it on my website!

To create a bitrate calculator I need to extract infos from the source (which RealAnime don't do). About the other thing, you mean to be able to manage OGM and MKV? I know this isn't its intended purpose but if you're trying to do something like a DVD rip where the video has been served up by an avisynth script of some sort and your audio has been demuxed to AC3, you'd want to be able to add the AC3 as the input without having to manually script the AC3 into the avisynth script. Basically when you select the audio file for that particular encode it'd just add whatever the necessary lines are to the script.

With regard to the bitrate calculator, that's a shame. I know your purpose with this project is mainly for encoding anime episodes, I was just wondering if you intended to extend it to cater for people who wish to back up their DVDs too as that seemed a likely aim for YS Realanime.

[Sirber]

Maybe one day...

Will an auto-muxer do the job?

[Sirber]

Use both, since producer leak memory. Also, don't rip my code :p

[damrod]

which producer leak memory?? cmd or activx??

i don't plan to use your code this time... i have my own :-p

[Sirber]

both leak. THey add into RAM ~100MB at each pass. The cmdline close after 2 pass so it clear it, but SDK don't. So after ~8 files, you need 2 GB of RAM :D

[Sirber]

Got the first bug!!!

Rate Control isn't saved :D

[Sirber]

I can do something similar to YS,

AVI/D2V
AC3
AC3
SRT
SRT
AVI/D2V
AC3
AC3
SRT
SRT

and mux everything bellow the movie with the output. It's kinda messy thought.

[damrod]

strange i don't have this problem in realbatch 1.5b
it's written in vb6 and use an old version off the activeX...maybe it's the reason....

also they choose to code in .net so....;-)

[superdump]

I guess that would be a start but it wouldn't allow for transcoding the audio into Real's HE AAC, only multiplexing in the audio at the end.

May I ask why you've decided to completely drop YS RealAnime rather than continue it and just slow the development? It seems a shame to let it go to waste.

[Sirber]

The exmeple above was YS way, the audio will be encoded then muxed.

I stopped Ys coz it was too much work, the dev was very slow, and my team mates haven't done a single line of code. SO, instead of continuing alone in that giant, I decided to restart the old RealAnime in fresh Delphi 7 (instea«d of VB6) so I'll have something that works. Since RealAnime (1.91) closed, it'S been like 9 months of dev on other projects, like Surreal UI, YS RealAnime, the "successors" of RealAnime. Now I have a quite stable software and I'm ready to add features.

As you remember, donations are welcome! :rolleyes:

[Sirber]

Nah, it's not in .NET. The DLL works whitout the .net installed (I'm proud, I don't have it installed!). It's just compiled in VC++ 7.

[Sirber]

I'm currently having DNS problems, I hope it will be corrected soon. I'm also working on the next release v2.10!

* The settings bug is corrected.
* Added Constant Quality

Before releasing the next version, I'll add a AVISynth manager.

Stay tuned!

[Razorblade2000]

CQ Mode including a prediction?

(I tell him: give me a final size of 50 MB and the application creates an avisynth sample (5 second of video every minute) and interpolates the filesize of the sample and corrects the CQ up or down to receive an end size according to the given value. (this step is repeated till the CQ doesn't change anymore +-1 )

[Sirber]

Helix Producer don't predict CQ, neither do I :p. If you want to implement that into RealAnime, just grab the source and have fun :)

[edit]

Cool! DNS are back :D

[Razorblade2000]

damn... now I already changed to Linux :D
Would have been a good thing to get back into delphi :(

[Sirber]

Which distro? I very like Xandros Desktop, since it's easy to use and it can run windows applications. For server I prefer Gentoo, like I have on my P2! :D

[Razorblade2000]

as it's your thread, I think it's ok to spam if you ask me to :D

I use Fedora Core 2 at the moment...

I wanted to have a distribution with a 2.6 kernel (running on a laptop -> i need the acpi and cpufreq stuff)... Also a possibilty to install software easily without having to worry about dependencies (yum or apt-get)

I tried them all and fedora works fine right now :D

I hope they continue developing the possiblity to pipe forward to real producer so I can use it in Linux (who the fuck has uncompressed sources besides capuring?)

[Sirber]

I tryed FC2 and it screwed my boot sector, as well as opverlaping partition 2 with partition 1 :devil:. Even Partition Magic couldn't help me :(

About producer on linux, a dev at realnetworks is developping in free time an input plugin based on libavcodec. I don't know if that include audio... Be sure I'll dev a GUI for linux in Kylix when it comes out :)

[edit]

Ha :( DNS issues again. I read on my provider someone is DoSing them :devil:

[Razorblade2000]

would you possibly have a link to a matching forum topic or sth like that?

A linux GUI would be cool :D

Maybe I could help developing in kylix :D
(I'm not thaaaat good at coding though... but I know the basics :D)

[Sirber]

Nah, I didn't create a topic about my problems :(

It's with the basics that you create something! I started delphi coz I was bored of crappy vb6 :D

[karl_lillevold]

damrod: yes, I will add your GUI to the list. I am still on vacation half way across the world and have been literally disconnected for a while, and to my big surprise just found a new forum for RealVideo! It will still take a while to catch up, not to forget I have to fly back to Seattle before I have time for all of it.

Sirber and damrod: It is not Producer that leaks directly, but a combination of DirectShow and Avisynth, which when used by Producer to read files, results in a leak. I am not sure where a work-around belongs, Avisynth or Producer, since I am sure DirectShow will not be fixed anytime soon.

[Sirber]

Maybe the AVI Reader isn't closing the links proprely... Anyway, this bug should be fixed ASAP. It's hazardeous to RealAnime :D

[damrod]

you can hope for it sirber ;-))

is it true that lastest producer is faster in cmdline that in dll??

[Sirber]

From my tests, cmdline is 20% faster than the SDK (ActiveX)

[damrod]

so i made a good choice to still use cmdline for my v2.00 :-)

do you test signalproducer.exe ?? good soft you can cancel or stop a producer.exe running....

[Sirber]

Yep. RealAnime uses both. I don't use the small EXE since I aim to use the SDK only. I was using the SDK until RealAnime crash with 2 GB memory usage :)

Sorry to bug your thread about RealAnime :(

[damrod]

it's not my thread lol ;-))

maybe we should discuss this in realanime or realbatch thread :-)

[Sirber]

AVISynth manager is at 75% finished. I shall have v2.10 ready in few days. The only bug I can't correct is the memory leaking :(

[damrod]

avisynth manager??
what's that??

you mean create avs script to mux audio/video before encoding?

[Sirber]

The AVISynth manager is for filtering. RealAnime still expect audio/video from 1 file (AVI, OGM, MKV).

[damrod]

ok it's your classic avs panel ;-))

[Sirber]

It's the one that was planned for YS RealAnime.

[Sirber]

I updated my website. Sources of Surreal UI and YS RealAnime are avalible. Don't forget those 2 software aren't developped anymore.

http://www.detritus.qc.ca/

P.S. Why detritus? I've been using junk for the past years! Just check the stats of my main server / router / firewall bellow :rolleyes:

[damrod]

detritus = sirber... i like that!! :-p

[Sirber]

I'm insulted :o

[Sirber]

I just tested RealAnime with XP SP2 and it works.

[damrod]

:p:devil:

[lunaticmoon]

I think that Sirber is applying a trial-and-error method to fine adjustment of DropDupe by RealAnime2.0.Because, RealAnime is since it is always made from his needs.

Was there any discovery?
Please teach. :D

[Sirber]

:D

I was once reading the forum and found a "suggestion" fot DropDupe that was adopted as default by Karl. I'm using those :p lol. I'm using the same old options since then.

About RealAnime is for my needs, yes, you are right. Defaults mutate with them.

Current settings:
Naruto: defaults
One Piece: defaults + Streaming (RC)

[Razorblade2000]

Just a little suggestion: you could use some code from this project:
http://avsgenerator.unite-video.com

This would make the RealAnime the PERFEKT tool for me :D
(allowing to encode a bunch of different avi files and just needing to set up a horizontal resolution of 480 and he'll do the aspect ratio for each file :D)

According to my french and these sentences it's open-source and delphi :D
Note : Ce logiciel étant développé sous licence GPL, les sources (Delphi 7) sont disponibles sur ce site. L'accès est cependant réservé aux membres ... n'hésitez donc pas à vous inscrire sur le forum !

[Sirber]

Hum.....

That's for sure I won't have it for 2.10, but for later version when I will attack DVD ripping, it will be usefull :)

[damrod]

prems!!! ;-))

sirber if you want to use this code ask Ze Imp : he's the author and register on doom9 few days ago.....


by the way he's french and the last version 0.96 is available in english...

part of his code is used in rmfactory...

[Sirber]

Great!

But DVD support is a little against my batching mood, so it might take a little time since I'm the only dev (as usual).

P.S. Use links in your signature :p

[Sirber]

RealAnime 2.10 is ready except a small bug regarding Constant Quality (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=81106). Here's the list of included filters:

Convolution3D
Deen b2
eDeen b1
FluxSmooth
MSmooth
cnr2

AVISynth resizers (Point, Bilinear, Bicubic, Lanczos3, Lanczos4)
EDIUpsizer
EDIUpsizer (Fast)

aSharp
aWarpSharp
MSharpen

Decomb
aDeInt
IT

More to come in later versions. A bug with MPEG2Dec3 has been corrected. I will release it once I get Constant Quality working.

[damrod]

links in my signature?? oh to add color??

my website is under construction so i don't add links or update pages

i think i will do it this week end

[Sirber]

When will we see your RealBatch?

[Sirber]

Output filename corrected (no more .avi). I'm waiting for a working COnstant Quality before releasing build 2.10.
