Old RealAnime discussion

[Sirber]

I got a fix for CQ, so I release v2.10!

http://www.detritus.qc.ca/index.php?section=projects#realanime

Enjoy!

[Sirber]

My main server, the Brand Old P2, will be down for 24h tomorrow. We are cleaning the carpets :D

[damrod]

i'm finishing the gui

i think i will work on it this week-end so i can release it next week

[Sirber]

My website will be down for maybe 24h. I'm currently on my roommate cable ISP, my DSL is still unplugged. We had to clean the carpet where the main holy server is. Hail to the P2! :D

[damrod]

i'm not sure i will have time to work alot on realbatch this day :-(

too much things to do ;-)

[Sirber]

Since RealAnime 2.10 isn't too bad, I'm reading to add on2 VP6 and XviD to RealAnime using AVS2AVI and registry settings. Output will be forced to Matroska in order to mux non-rv video with ra audio. RMVB container doesn't support this.

Note: WMV will never be supported.

[edit]

todo:
* Add VP6 and XviD
* Create a De/Muxer GUI (Matroska, Ogg Media)
* Create a small Bitrate Calculator

[Sirber]

I might remove on2 codecs:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=535340#post535340

no "easy2use" methods to use the codec.

[Sirber]

Work is going well. I can already set XviD settings and save them.

[Sirber]

My main server is up again, but my DSL provider is buggy. I don't know when this will be fixed. :(

[edit]

I'm on another account until my ISP fix it's authentification server. All services up.

[Razorblade2000]

nice :D
/me grabs v 2.10 :D

[Sirber]

In couple of days, you'll have to get 2.20 :p

Oh, I'm also reading to add VFR support :D

[edit]

This looks great:

[damrod]

add xvid??
:-))

you must rename your soft ;-))

maybe EncodAnime? :o

i have finish v2 alpha... still things to finish.. especially the elysium features but it works...then the MkvGui (mux/extract), the bitrate calculator, the rmeditor must be finished next week i hope...

[Sirber]

may I steal your bitrate calculator and mkv muxer? :D

P.S. Also, you should post your updates about RealBatch in your own thread ;)

[Razorblade2000]

little bug report:

the convolution3d presets should be in brackets :D
like: anime = Convolution3D(anime, preset="movieHQ")

real anime tends to leave the >>>"<<< out :D

[Sirber]

like:
anime = Convolution3D(anime, preset="movieHQ)"
or
anime = Convolution3D(anime, preset=movieHQ)

?

Will be fixed with v2.20.

[Razorblade2000]

Neither
anime = Convolution3D(anime, preset="movieHQ)"
nor
anime = Convolution3D(anime, preset=movieHQ)

BUT:
anime = Convolution3D(anime, preset="movieHQ")
is the way to go :D


p.s. damn typos :P hehe

[Sirber]

I know, but how did I write it :(

[Razorblade2000]

I don't really get you reply...
But I'll answer anyway :D

You wrote:
anime = Convolution3D(anime, preset="movieHQ)"
Correct:
anime = Convolution3D(anime, preset="movieHQ")

(you flipped only the last two :D)

And in RealAnime it only does:

anime = Convolution3D(anime, preset=movieHQ)
(without the " " thingies) :D

[Sirber]

ok, I'll add them :rolleyes:

[damrod]

@sirber : ok for me....i will give you the code asap

i will update my thread ;-)

[Sirber]

What are you talking about?

[damrod]

the source for mkvmuxer and bitrate calculator ;-))

[Sirber]

ha! great :D are they GNU?

[Sirber]

COnfigure XviD and VP6 works now, big thanks to DaveEL! I will write the core tonight. It won't be difficult, a big copy paste from producer cmdline core :) Soon, soon my friends, RealAnime will encode to XviD and VP6 :D.

@Mosu

Do you mind if I include mkvmerge to RealAnime?

[damrod]

@sirber : yes

the bitrate calculator is based upon xls real file ;-))

the mkv tool will be a mux between my mkvmuxer and mkxextractgui...

did you look at avs generator source?

[Sirber]

Not yet, and I'm not sure I'll do it. I'm happy on how it currently works. Can you produce a ZIP with the BR calculator and the muxer?

[damrod]

the bitrate calculator is a "paper work" : i don't code something for the moment..i prefer finish others soft ;)

for mkvextract =>

http://damrod66.free.fr/MKVEXtractGUI_1.5.1_src.zip

it's the gui made by nexus...it's interesting to see how he manage the tracks selection....it help me for my gui....

[Sirber]

I'm encoding with VP6 :D One pass works, now I'm building the 2-pass manager and audio encoding, also the muxing. With current set, you can only encode AVI with audio included. I'll have to rewrite some part to handle external audio or wierd settings.

[edit]

Encoding 2-pass works. I'm now stuck at audio encoding.

[Sirber]

Bug discovered!!!!!!

* producer SDK thinks CQ is a jobfile error :rolleyes:
* audio menus aren't fully reloaded
* Sipro codec isn't Spiro :rolleyes:

[Sirber]

A technology demo: VP6 with Sipro voice codec! Made with RealAnime 2.20 :D

http://www.detritus.qc.ca/realanime/vp6_sipro.mkv 1.4MB
http://www.detritus.qc.ca/realanime/xvid_sipro.mkv 1.9MB

Note: Quality is bad, I used the fastest one-pass with VP6 and XviD with a low bitrate voice codec since I'm using my CPU on encoding another serie :D

Note 2: Quality of those demos does not represent an the quality of those codecs.

Video: 600kbps CBR
Audio: 8.5kbps

[victorhooi]

Hi,

Sweet! Can't wait - when's it coming out?

Thanks,
Victor

[Sirber]

As soon as my paypal account is full :rolleyes:

When I get the lastest producer :)

[karl_lillevold]

I downloaded the test clips. VP6 or XviD + RealAudio (Sipro) packaged in Matroska. That's impressive!

[Sirber]

By impressive, you mean the amount of squares? :D

[Razorblade2000]

*click on Paypal icon*
*donate a bit*
(not much, but should buy you a beer :D)


Cool... finally sth. to do an easy VP6 twopass (with Reals AAC Audio CODEC?)

[Sirber]

You can virtually use any VFW codec with RealAnime and do 2-pass. I currently added XVID and VP6. I don't plan to add WMV9. This with all RealAudio codecs, in a matroska container.

Also, thanks for the donation!! :D

[Razorblade2000]

Just a lil question:
what exactly does 2 pass CBR do?

Encode the same video 2 times with the same bitrate :D :confused:

[Sirber]

hum... I really don't know :confused:

[karl_lillevold]

It is able to make the bitrate even more constant, since it can use the 1st pass data to make better choices in the 2nd pass, but in general the difference is not huge.

[huang_ch]

Amost the whole August, I'm suffering the forum failure problem. :devil: Hope it recovers well.
It's nice to see RealAnime become more powerful. And also some interesting feature like VP6/XVID+RA....:D And, will it be possible for RV10+OGG? For I remember that I saw some tests show that OGG is the best in around 64KBPS even better than HE-AAC. And another question is which codec and bitrate would you prefer for encoding an AC3 source?

[Sirber]

Hi

Tests I've seen shows HE-AAC is the best at 64kbps (hydrogenaudio). Can you post your source? It would be possible to add vorbis, but for that, I'd require another external binary (BeSweet) and boost my installer by more MB. V2.10 is ~4MB, version 2.20 is already 8 MB :(.

For 2.0 AC3: 64kbps HE-AAC
For 5.1 AC3: 180kbps, cook

But, usualy I keep AC3 and build a 4.5GB MKV :D

[tiki4]

Isn't Helix producer able to encode to vorbis? I thought so.

tiki4

[Sirber]

Yes, but nohing to set the quality or the bitrate.

[tiki4]

Ah. That's a pity.

tiki4

[Sirber]

I think it's like "we have it, but use RealAudio". I might ask to have more options about vorbis.

as you want

i rewrite in a single interface the merge and mux tools because i use it to add srt files to my anime rmvb that's all

i think you want batch tools for encoding mkv in rmvb after?? or

to mux at the end all the encoded files??

[Sirber]

I need a tool to choose which audio/sub track I want from a MKV to remerge into a MKV then to encode it. Also, I need a tool to remerge RMVB with subs :), all in batch, and external to RealAnime. Same thing for OGM (demux).

[Razorblade2000]

uhm... "mkvmerge" can do almost all the matroska merging stuff... add new streams, delete streams, balblabla... ;P

And as it's a commandline application...

[Sirber]

Already using those :D
