Easy RealMedia ProducerV1.94

[maximt]

Thanks everyone! I just found how to solve the problem. First of all, I had a producer SDK located in ERMP's directory, I placed it there manually. After it's deleting everything works fine. Of course you need to download the latest update to get rid of this error message, saying that it can't write to f:/test.txt
BTW, I dont have helixprodctrl.dll on my computer, not in C:/Windows/system32, not anywhere, i've searched through all my HD.
P.S. Have a nice day :)

A couple of really minor suggestions, for any potential updates:
1) BestPSNRMode should be OFF by default. This option is really meant more for experiments than real encoding.
2) Remove the shaded check box state...always so confusing, and means the user needs to know what is default. For first time installations, use what is default for that particular option (listed in my Codec Properties thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=72321). (I just noticed the newest ones are missing .. I will fill those in there).

I agree with karl :

Gives som real good explanation but I'm not an expert and i still find very complicated to set every option to make the best job possible ::confused:

Hi, I'm trying to set correctly rv10 parameters in ERMP but it's quite hard. Does anybody have recomended settings for "usual" encoding like :

anime low bitrate
movie low bitrate
movie high bitrate...

Thanks for your great work redcheek!

OGG Audio encoding is broken. How strange but my previous post with error log was deleted.

[azsd]

v1.85,
2 bugs here:

with 'special a file name' checked and then use browse,it's gives *.rm filename filter in VBR mode but *.rmvb in CBR mode.

and,in two pass mode the log file looks like that:

2003-12-02 03:26:25 Start Encode
2003-12-02 03:26:25 analyzing(1 pass)...
2003-12-02 04:24:38 Start analyzing
2003-12-02 04:24:40 Start Encode[2 pass]
2003-12-02 06:17:57 Encode Finished!
2003-12-02 06:17:57 Encode Finished!

2 fakes as one

I am trying to encode an avi file to rmvb using realmedia producer version 1.85 and avisynth version 2.55 with ffdshow version 20050201 and it is giving me a black screen on my preview when i tick ( Force DirectShow )in the ( More... ) menu but unticked it work fine. What could be the problem, a collegue told me to update my directx and i did it to version 9.0c the newest one and it did not solve the problem, do you have an idea what could make ( Force DirectShow feature ) work?
(I am using a video card asus gforce2 32 meg with the latest nvidia driver)
(I use a french windows xp pro)

[mgh]

:thanks: :thanks:
with 1.85-rate control is on the nose
+didn't notice it before as option is unchecked during install-but free elecard mpeg2 decoder- not available anymore-best in the business-is something for which i bow to thee my lord!!- with double dct precision the quality is simply awesome:D
encodes dvd at almost original quality at 600kbps video-nothing more can be asked:)
BTW-only encoder out of one's listed in this forum which works for me-so triple
:thanks:

[posix]

thank you so much redcheek. you are awesome.
can't wait for further updates.

source, uncompressed avi, 256colours, 60fps.
what have i done wrong?

[E-Male]

try if the video works with avisynth

[posix]

uhm, to tell you the truth, i have never used avisynth before. i hardly know what it is.
yeah.
i want to make game exhibition videos, lovely edited and arranged with music and perfectly encoded. will i need avisynth?

[karl_lillevold]

It sounds like the source video is of an unknown format. Do you know what the 4cc (codec) is? Can you open it in a media player, preferably media player classic? It will show you which filter (codec) is in use. Perhaps you need to install the proper decoder codec for your AVI file?

[posix]

source, uncompressed avi, 256colours, 60fps.
5 characters...

[karl_lillevold]

sorry, was not reading carefully enough. Problem is 60 fps. A bug must have been introduced since this was fixed a while back. 59.97 fps works, not 60 fps...

[posix]

thanks a lot for your help.
strangely though, it gave me the same error with a 30fps source. i can't even seem to encode .wav. something must be terribly wrong. :(

[DeathKnight]

Ok...I seem to be having a different problem to everyone.

When I fill in all my settings and click start I get an error message saying 'Init Encoder Core Failed!’ what does this mean and how can I overcome it??

Everything becomes so much harder when the help is I Chinese

DeathKnight

[redcheek]

download the fullversion.
add install it.

[bdfy]

How can I get this avisynth script to work ?
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\_2DCleanYUY2_for_25.dll")
AviSource({Source})
ConvertToYUY2
_2DCleanYUY2(0,9,3,3,0,5,5)

ERMP 1.83

[methos]

without using avisynth the haali media splitter (which i want to use for playing mkv, cause it has better chapter support then gabest's) easy realmedia hangs on when starting encoding.
I could circumvent this by turning on avisynth, but that way sometimes a video/audio sync problem will occur. Any idea how to solve this?

[posix]

general question,

as far as i know, the realmedia encoders are commercial and not freeware. i can buy them with "realmedia producer". is that correct?

does ermp come with the encoders? if so, is that legal? seeing as you can download ermp for free.
i'm confused.

also, maybe can we make up an english ermp guide together explaining what every option does?

[shinsenryu]

Need help, PLEASE!!!!! Everytime I encode a file, the video always turns upside down. I unchecked the Deinterlace/Inverse setting yet the video turns upside down. What would you recommend?!?! Thanks!!!!!!

[Sirber]

Do you use any codec pack?

[shinsenryu]

Yeah, I have 3 installed in my machine: Direct Show Ogg Vorbis, SLD Codec Pack for DivX, and a Matroska Pack. Do I need to disable or uninstall them for ERMP to work properly?

[Sirber]

the problem may be before encoding, while encoding or after, the playback. Best is to keep away from codec pack.

[namelessted]

ok, i have this error and nobody i have talked to can figure it out. i use all the same settings as a guy i know but when i try to convert an .avi to .rm i get this error message.

"QuickTime is missing software required to perform this operation. Unfortunately, it is not available on the QuickTime server."

i didnt realize ermp used quicktime, i tried to uninstall quicktime, reinstall the newest version, everything i could think of. i have no clue what to do. any help would be GREATLY appretiated, thanks

[Sirber]

AVI reader fails, so producer tries to use quicktime module. Your are missing a directshow codec or your system is screwed.

[namelessted]

ok, how can i fix this problem

[clone83]

format your pc and try again

[Axed]

format your pc and try again
Whoa, bit extreme there..

We need more information. Can you play the file just by loading it normally? What happens if you use DirectShowSource instead of AviSource, etc?

[namelessted]

i can watch all the movies fine by just playing them. i dunno what DirectShowSource is.

and i just reformatted last week cus im going off to college so thats not the problem.

[namelessted]

ok, so im an idiot. i just realized that i hadnt intalled wmp since i reformatted (i use mpc) and now it works fine. thanks

Sorry for the delayed reply. The answer is straightforward:

Easy RealMedia Producer uses the Producer SDK binary, and RealNetworks licenses this free of charge. The Producer SDK license even allows products that include it to be sold commercially (Adobe Premiere and other editing tools that export to RealVideo and RealAudio is one example), as long as the SDK is distributed according to its license.

[posix]

thank you :)
you've solved a lot of mystery for me.

where would i find explanation for what these options do?

i'm getting a error with editor when i try to use it and click start it give me 'Init Encoder Core Failed!’ i try reinstalling it and still no luck

[redcheek]

run cmd.exe
cd to "--ermp--\tools"
copy rmtools.dll rmto3260.dll

[namelessted]

ok, so i have some anime that is in .ogm format and is dual audio with the option of subtitles or not. i was wandering if there was a way to convert it to .rm but keep the dual audio and subtitles options.

[Liisachan]

Producer can import AVC, so you can use this:

DirectShowSource("c:\your\anime.ogm")


OR: you might want to first demux your OGM (then you have a 'normal' AVI)

I didn't test it myself, but iirc you can embed SSA into RMVB too.
I'm not sure about dual audio.
(rmvb+ssa+dual audio).mkv should be possible but again I've never tried that.

[posix]

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=72321
okay, thanks, that helped. i would probably have needed it a bit more in-depth, seeing as i'm not too rm-knowledged.

what still puzzles me are these options;
startup latency, 60s.
a wait before the actually video begins? default is 60s, never changed it, and there was no minute wait. i must be mistaken about something here.

audio gair
a typo, is it? should be "audio gain"?

encode all frames
how could it not encode all frames? because of vfr? enabling this means auto-disabling vfr or am i fantasising?

also, what is "overflow control" and "inloop". i know inloop has been dealt with in the topic i quoted above but when you don't know what it is to begin with it's kinda hard to comprehend, heh.

[bdfy]

I still have that question - how use source name in avisynth scripts using ERMP ?
I want to use following script
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\_2DCleanYUY2_for_25.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Convolution3D.dll")
AviSource("<path to avifile>")
ConvertToYUY2
_2DCleanYUY2(0,9,1,1,0,2,2)
Convolution3d (preset="animeBQ")

What shall I write instead of AviSource("<path to avifile>") ?
I think I tried all the combinations with {SOURCE} , but I can't get it work :(

don't use the avisource....
use it like:
video=trim(video,0,500)
video=bicubicresize(video,440,332,0,0.5)
video= etc etc

[Sirber]

His scripting style is 100% valid. Yours is kinda old school ;)

[bdfy]

I solved the problem :D
Script should look like

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\_2DCleanYUY2_for_25.dll")
video
ConvertToYUY2
_2DCleanYUY2(0,9,1,1,0,2,2)

Hi Redcheek, I see you have V1.92 out! IMHO, this update is the best I have seen. I'm glad to see that many long sought after features were implemented in this version. However, there is something that I would like to feedback on - no offence intended, but the new icon really sucks big time like some hastily done job from MS Paint.

I know icons aren't really the meat of the program, but this one is really asthetically unpleasing. Once again, thanks for updating ERMP.

[leonafan]

Hi how come easy realproducer 1.92 suddenly refuses to import mpg files saved with TMPEG encoder after cutting all the advertisements out?

It converts avi files fine though.

[sumpm1]

cannot get the RC option rcTargetVideoSize to work, it always goes with the settings made in CBR or Average bitrate(depending on the mode I select) I have been able to find no way to simply set the desired filesize rather than set the bitrate.

[posix]

[ssu]

Hi All,

When I try to convert my mpg files to rmvb, the sound and the picture go out of sync. Is there a setting somewhere I can set to keep the in sync? I have used the same setting on other mpg files before and it worked perfectly. Just some of the mpg files will cause this error.

Thank you much

Simon

[XuE]

i got a question my .rm file is out of sync is there any way to fix it

[nmatos]

Could someone answer a newbie question?

How can I recover temp files made by ERMP? I mean that *.temp could be converted in *.rmvb file?
