2nd pass encode with rv10

[starwarsandrisk]

i've finished the first pass of an rv10 enocode... i've got the .pass file.... problem is... my second pass got killed.... how can i just go back over the second pass with the .pass file?....

sirber

i'm still using the modified realanime 1.91.... if you have a way to change the job.dat file real quick for me.... that would be even nicer....

[Sirber]

I cannot search for you. Sorry, I don't have much time to support old RealAnime. Please read in the RC thread.

"Thruth is somewhere else" :D

[starwarsandrisk]

thanks anyways... which one is the rate control thread?... i guess i just need to know how to make a jobfile... any just easy way to make one and the different types of xml calls?... also... it there a jobfile creator or editor?

Get a look at the "Realvideo 9 Information" sticky. All you need is there.

It is a little tricky to run the 2nd pass separately unless you are familiar with the producer command line. Since the 1st pass is always very fast (about 4X the speed of the 2nd pass), in many cases I would just recommend re-running both passes.

Of course, if you want to learn something new, check the RealVideo 10 Elysian (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=71022) thread.

The simplest way to re-run the 2nd pass is to take the code below, save it to a file (for instance c:\pass2.rpad), edit it with the bitrate you want, audio codec name and flavor (it is currently HE-AAC at 64 kbps), you can of course edit and add other parameters, then run producer like this:


producer -i inputfile.avs -ad c:\pass2.rpad -o outputfile.rmvb -lc e,d -dt


EDIT: forgot -dt switch to make sure producer runs just one pass (-dt is needed when running 1st or 2nd pass separately)

i use besweet to get ogg audio and put the rmvb and ogg in a matroska... can i just cut out the audio part of that code and save some cpu usage... yeah and thanks!.... that helps alot... i'm finally learning how to use all of these cool encoder properties... this is kinda cool to learn... i can just make a bunch of job files now for all of the different jobs for first pass and second pass....

karl.... do you work in the building next to the spghetti factory?

okay... thats my audience file.... how come when i do exactly as you say.... it starts out in analysation mode

[starwarsandrisk]

this thread is just really a note session to myself.... lol.... you have to use the trigger -dt in the command line to make it not 2 pass....

[karl_lillevold]

starwarsandrisk: I forgot the -dt switch :( Thanks for adding that. -dt is necessary when running separate passes, since Producer does not know about the codec rcPassNumber options, and will try to run 2 passes unless -dt is specified.

[starwarsandrisk]

thanks man... you really helped..... i do this because i can only encode on my comp when noone else wants to use it.... and i only got a 1.02 ghz celeron processor... so to encode at night time i can usually only get a first pass and about half of a second of an anime.......

[Sirber]

In IDLE mode, people can use it while you encode :)

lol... "if you're not on the computer, i don't want your stuff running".... i need to get a paypal button to get donations for my own computer... lol....
