[damrod]

ok i modify my post

img are links to my website so it will be updated auto!! :-)

[damrod]

new version 1.10

thx to your bug reports ;-)

the rmeditor is not working...still working on it

[h9903209]

audio bitrate selection cannot auto saved when exit... ^^

[damrod]

i see that

i save the value of dropdown box...i will change that to save index number=>better and more sure

see next release 1.11

[h9903209]

1. when I rename folder to e.g. realbatch 1.1 then fails, reason is probably the space between realbatch and 1.1, if I rename it to realbatch1.1 then ok.

2. Is the temp file during conversion the same place as source file or default to c drive somewhere? default to the same place as source file would prevent problems like moving a large resulting file from one drive to another; not enough space in c drive, etc.

3. could you tell a simple guideline about when to choose avisynth only and when to choose forcedirectshow only and when both? it seems it can convert no matter I choose it or not... confusing... T__T

4. btw about the priority, not quite sure its function, high means occupy more cpu resources, is that right?

[damrod]

4)priority is with others soft ie encoding in background mode or not..

3)i will add an help file -- an html file i think -- to explain how to use it ;-)

2)the temp dir is the temp direcory of windows...
i seek where to specify that in producer (like in realproducer10)

1) strange : i will look after that...

[notags]

Hello, thanks for this great mod. Love it:D
Do you mind adding 'cut & save' option in your real editor GUI?

Oh yes, I can't seem to use version 1.10. I keep getting a "run-time error type 13 type mismatch" when i run the exe. 1.03 works fine though. Using XP home.

Thank you.

[damrod]

yes

what i want is to make something similar to realmedia editor gui which is not free (bundle with realproducerplus)

the main pb is for cutting and selecting...how to show video??
i have add two textbox to specify start and end of file...when saving i will use these parameters (by default there are filled by videosource specs)

[notags]

Wow, the reply's fast:eek:

Personally, I don't find videow preview a necessity though. I could just play the video & record the start & end timings. No doubt this wouldn't be too precise & convinient, but I believe it's better than trying to make a preview control; it's just too much work.

[damrod]

ok it will be done like that at begginning

just need to put the code behind the gui ;-)

use a more precise time e.g. "00:12:04.019" instead of "00:12:04" as shown in MPC when pressing ctrl+g at the place you want

btw, about priority what's idle? higher priority than high or lower priority than low?

also, when encode error, the files in file selection disappear... need to re-add to try everytime... maybe better to retain them?

[Sirber]

IDLE is the lowest of the low, bello that it's not a process, it's a non-responsive process :D

[damrod]

an idle process run when cpu has time for him...i don't find the value for "low priority process" :-((

retain files in error? why not...

i use this format of time : 0:00:00.000 for rmgui...

you get an error at launchin 1.10? strange ? does someone have the same problem?

[h9903209]

I don't get errors in launching...

the only error is when the folder name has space within then encode would fail... "realbatch1.1" ok but not "realbatch 1.1"

and since temp file is in c drive while my target file is in d drive, if my c drive run out of space then fail... tmp file same place as target file would be better.

btw, I just try encode a short clip with both realbatch and Y.S. GUI with same setting and the resulting filesize is a bit different, do you know why?

[damrod]

realanime/batch calculate maxbitrate with a multiple of 1000 and ys gui use 1024... i think it might lead to some difference at final encoding no?

btw i continue my search of "real temp dir"
maybe it's in cmdline of in registry....

[h9903209]

you can ask Shinobu if you want... ^^ just request him to do this in his Y.S. GUI before.

btw, if you have time how about post the html help about when to use avisynth and forcedirectshow alone and when both in your homepage first? really want to understand fully before use it for real encoding... e.g. when encode avi, no matter I check forcedirectshow or not the resulting filesize is the same...why?

[damrod]

directshow doesn't affect filesize...it just a matter of opening files

it's usefull for opening ogm of files which aren't basically supported by producer...

producer support mkv,avi,avs,wav
so by using direcshow means you create a temporary avs file for opening ogm (for exemple)


it can be used also for resolving pb of synch (some avi with vbr-mp3 leads to desynch in rmvb...using directshow can solve that)

[damrod]

btw i will create an help file (for the moment it's blank ;-))

[h9903209]

just try convert mp3 to he-aac out of curiosity... but fail too... T__T

I just check audio; uncheck video; use avisynth or not still fail.

Can you succeed in trying convert mp3 to he-aac using realbatch? if mp3 also cannot then no need mention ape...

[damrod]

i will check that

maybe a problem in creating jobfile...

you have the pb with realanime?

[h9903209]

seems so, both cannot conert ape/mp3 in my computer...

[damrod]

ok so it's an original bug... i keep code form realanime to create jobs... i will debugg that

btw i will release the 1.2 soon

mods :

-> handle strange filename (with accents...)
-> you can choose the tmp encoding directory -- windows or same as encoded file...
-> realeditor start working ;-))
-> multilangue (not complete... neeed to finish saving/loading all text)
-> add soft realmuxer -- to mux subtitles in rmvb container...
-> debugs :-)

[damrod]

release 1.2 on-line (i'm putting files on my website ;-))

[damrod]

putting 1.21 online => correct audio-only encoding... now it works...

[h9903209]

thx for so much nice improvements! ^O^

some feedback:
1. once press "start encoding", always popup a "done" box???
2. for audio only, resulting file is still rmvb, should be ra/mka? if I rename it to ra, it cannot play.
3. what's avsgenerator? menu not in English, don't understand at all...
4. about ogm, should I check force directshow too? seems it can encode no matter check it or not. btw, I finally read the avisynth homepage about directshowsource, just want to ask whether the "use avisynth" + "force directshow" = directshowsource("source.avi")?
but then if uncheck "force directshow" then equal to what?
5. any possibility for a "pause" function during encode? sometime suddenly want to use some high resources program but producer is encoding stuff...
6. any possibility for a "pause" function right at start? so I can manually choose from the directvobsub icon/oggds icon in the taskbar which audio/subtitle to use.
7. just want to confirm whether it's really not possible for visual basic to set ogm default audio/subtitle like MPC, right? ^^

[damrod]

thx for feedback

1) i forget to rmeove somecode ;-) => solved
2) good idea i will modify that
3) it's a tools to make avs file : you select a source (avs or d2v)
and resize,crop....it can be usefull to prepare a video before encoding it...but you can do it in the avisynth panel else you must know how to do....with avs generator you make the avs, copy the code and paste it in avisynth panel....
4) for ogm? not necessary : if you don't use avi or avs=> i create a temporary avs...
there are two modes of accessing video... avisource for avi or avs and directshowsource for the others format...
5)6) and 7) i will check if it's possible

at this time i will finish rmeditor gui first ;-))
(at this time we can append files, cut files and modify tags of files...)

the 1.23 release will be soon on the web ;-))
maybe tomorrow evening...

[h9903209]

thx ^^

also, just find that EHQ state cannot auto save when exit...fixed to high.

btw, if even ogm don't need "use avisynth", then what is its function?

[damrod]

it's for using avisynth filter (like desinterlace, resize, chroma noise reduction or others...)

the save/load settings and save/load language are not completed (lack some labels and settings to save ;-))

[damrod]

i have put online an help file

if someone have suggestionsor better text/paragraph to add i will appreciate :-)

sirber?? lol ;-)

[Sirber]

sorry, no time.

[damrod]

i know
it was a joke

i will make a succint help file...just to explain settings and filters panel...

[h9903209]

btw, your GUI really is a great collection of tools!! ^O^

would avs generator have english too? want to try try... ^^

and wish your help file have a little intro and examples about how to use that "use avisynth, force directshow"...

just want to make clear whether yes or no:
check "use avisynth" only = avisource ?
check "use avisynth" + "force directshow" = directshowsource ?

[Sirber]

just want to make clear whether yes or no:
check "use avisynth" only = avisource ?
check "use avisynth" + "force directshow" = directshowsource ?Yes to both of them. I already answered you about this.

[h9903209]

thx, before you tell me to read avisource and directshowsource in avisynth homepage... but what I read is some simple script like avisource("video"); direcshowsource("video"... can't figure out the relationship with a checkbox called "force directshow" at that time, totally newbie to avisynth... ^^

btw, what filters do you commonly use with avisynth in encoding real?

also, if e.g. for ogm/dat, u say a temp avs wouldbe created, then if I use avisynth filter too, then there would 2 avs file...?

[damrod]

i think i will integrate avisynth panel of realanime1.91 (with buttons-filters) to realbtach... it can be helpful...

btw i plan to split realbtach in modules :
main mod : realbtach
autonom mods : matroska muxer, mp4 creator and rmeditor >> they will work like rmvb muxer and avs generator : call to the exe...

if this cas people can choose to dwld only main mod and separately the others if they want to use them...i will let empty-dir in realbtach folder for them...

[h9903209]

that's good too, just include a "all-in-one" zip version so no need d/l one by one for lazy people like me... ^_^

[damrod]

ok i release the 1.30
release in normal and light version
release also the gui exe ;-))

still working on rmeditor to add some interesting functionnality....

does mpc handle smil files???

[Sirber]

yes it does, if you heave RealPlayer installed.

[damrod]

ok i have only the dlls (YS codec pack) si it explains why i can't open smil... bad luck : i add a preview functionnality in rmeditor (to see what you cut) but it's in smil (easy to select a part of an rmvb file without doing the cut)

[h9903209]

thx for new release. ^^

1. Can you fix the auto-save for ehq state? everytime need to choose low manually... T__T
2. Just a suggestion about interface improvement to see if you're interested: for the encoding log window under file selection, divide into 3 columns to display the filename; encoding time and encoding done/fail. So I can view all the filename instantly, no need scroll a lot because the window size is small (btw, can't resize, right?)
3. why are there 3 realbatch.exe??? which one is the correct one? ^^
4. btw, when integrate avisynth panel of realanime1.91 (with buttons-filters) to realbtach? ^_^ want to play around with avisynth with ease ^^

[damrod]

realbatch3.exe is the good one.. sorry i was making encoding so i can't create the others so i choose realbatch3.exe to be created...

the others mods : soon...

[notags]

Hello damrod,

There's a slight mix up in your download link for rmeditor (it's the same as mp4 creator). Thanks for the update.

Allow me to give a small suggestion:

In your settings pannel, the check box for 2pass is labelled on/off, this creates a certain amount of confusion since checking can mean 'on' or 'off' as well. Prehaps you can leave it as 'on' so that at least it's easier to interpret.

[h9903209]

"sorry i was making encoding so i can't create the others so i choose realbatch3.exe to be created..."

sorry don't understand what you say...T__T

[damrod]

in the zip there are three files

realbatch.exe=> this is the old one
realbatch2.exe => this is the 1.21 version... i launch it for encoding but i was programming in vb at the same time so i can't build a realbatch2.exe... so i choose realbatch3.exe..
realbatch3.exe => this is the last one i make


notags : i will correct the post...

btw go to my website, soft page and click on light version... i will list my directory containing the files ;-))

i will correct the 2passes box...


h9903209 :
1) corrected
2) i change that... and the gui of realbatch is a little bigger...
3) realbtach3.exe is the good one...
4) i integrate it in 1.4 release... i will post it as soon as possible...

[Sirber]

On your screens, you have "multi-channel" and "03 - cook @ 96kbps". Something is wrong :)

[damrod]

what's wrong

the 96kbits 5.1 codec.. is a cook codec...
its' not my fault... that's what is written is the codec doc... and what realproducer10 tells also


btw i'm uploading release 1.40

screenshots have been uploaded...

[Sirber]

but 01 and 02 should be lower bitrate, and 96 is the minimum for 5.1. So it might be wrong :)

[damrod]

i will check that...if i remember... there is only 96 and > as 5.1 codec ;-)

[Sirber]

Could you also optimize the main core with MMX functions? ;) LOL :D
