As requested by Sirber, I split his long RealAnime thread into a discussion thread and the main announcement post. Please discuss all old versions in the old thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56576), and limit this thread to issues related to version 2.20. Thanks.

[Sirber]

Please note that the current version is final until major upgrades are needed. More infos here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=553218#post553218).

Planned features:
* Network encoding
* MySQL Database support
* Linux client

Sorry, I'm always delayed.

RealAnime 2.20 is awesome. I tried some test encodes with ffdshow and H264.

Unfortunately I have to report that in this version Theora encoding does not work. Producer always quits with some weird messages about errors in the jobfile (which I can't see as it gets deleted immediately).

Otherwise great work!

About Bug 3095: Producer cannot process 60fps source included NULL frames correctly.

Status: Resolved WONTFIX
Cause: Because DirectShowSource() was used.
The evasion method: It will be satisfactory if AVISource() is used.

Even if I turned OFF UseDirectShow by RealAnime2.20RC2+, I must have checked that phenomenon.

@Sirber

Which function does reading at the time of turning OFF UseDirectShow use? :confused:

Is it canceled by the release of the next RealAnime? :D

[karl_lillevold]

I will try that option in RealAnime too, which I did not know about. My tests were done with edited Avisynth scripts as input to Producer. I have disabled HuffYUV in ffdshow and the native VfW HuffYUV codec is used in the AVISource case.

[Sirber]

When you disable Use DIrectShow, AVISource is used. I tested that feature plenty of times, since I had corrupted files that DShow was not able to decode, but VFW yes.

[karl_lillevold]

Great, that should be enough. I tried two example Avisynth files, one with AVISource, one with DirectShowSource, referencing the 59.94 fps AVI file (HFYU). Then I opened in VirtualDub and saved a portion of each with Direct STream Copy. The one which used DirectShowSource played twice as fast as it should. The one which used AVISource played normally. Seems like a bug in DirectShowSource to me.

[Sirber]

If that so, I'll force AVISource by default in 2.21. I need to fix theora too...

[karl_lillevold]

I encoded lunaticmoon's example clip using RealAnime 2.20, and I made sure to uncheck the option for DirectShow in Settings->Filtering. Now the Avisynth script (anime.avs) used AVISource, and the example clip was encoded perfectly. It plays back at normal speed, and there is no black video in the 2nd half.

I also noticed a minor bug in RealAnime. On a dual proc system, if for instance Producer takes 85% of the CPU, RealAnime tends to take the rest of the CPU cycles, 12-15%, while the encoding is going on..

I would not suggest to hard-code the use of AVISource, but perhaps make that default instead of DirectShowSource. I think this DirectShowSource bug is related to either the high framerate of the AVI (59.94) or that it contains NULL frames. Someone should post this bug in the AVISynth Dev forum...

[Sirber]

I will post tonight a fixed EXE with those fixes:

* AVI with more than 30FPS in DirectShow Mode does not work well
* On dual CPU system, RealAnime uses 15% CPU while encoding
* Theora fails

[edit]

Update avalible on http://www.detritus.qc.ca :D

[tiki4]

Cool. I was wondering why RealAnime 2.20 takes up so much CPU on my P4 HT. Thanks, Sirber.

[Sirber]

RealAnime monitor in realtime producer while encoding. Now it sleeps 250ms before rechecking. When something is strange, you should report it. I can't test everything, like dual CPU bugs :D

[tiki4]

Sorry,

I didn't do too many tests and I'm also not watching CPU resources each time. It didn't seem to affect encoding, though, and I guessed it had something to do with monitoring producer.

So you see, I didn't consider this to be a bug in the first place.

tiki4

[Sirber]

Ok, no problem :) I hope this build fix it :D, since I cannot test :(

[karl_lillevold]

yes, seems to fix it (no extra CPU usage for RealAnime.exe)

[ookzDVD]

@Sirber,

As I'm newbie for RealAnime,
if I choose the DVD2AVI file as input,
which version of DVD2AVI is recommended ?

Thank you.

[Sirber]

Hi

Thanks for your interrest in RealAnime. Unfortunatly, DVD backup in RealAnime is pretty basic and might never get better. I'd suggest you use AutoRV10 (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29077) for that matter. About DVD2AVI, I suggest you read that thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=59272). Sorry about this :(

Did someone already carry this out?

I think that someone should report quickly from the soul of open source community.

However, a supplementary examination does not finish yet, but since I am unacquainted also with a fundamental situation, I am, without the ability yet reporting.

Although it explains why NULL frames is required in it, my command of English is too awkward... orz

[Sirber]

I added email support. More infos here (http://www.detritus.qc.ca/index.php?section=support).

[lunaticmoon]

( I reported Avisynth DirectShowSource() bug to Avisynth Development Forum ... :D )

[Sirber]

Doh! Uploading a new version. :(

[edit]

New 2.22 is valid. Dunno what happened :confused:

[edit 2]

Note: registry tweak for bestPNSR profil don't work with this release.

[karl_lillevold]

Quick update!

Note that this is because a slightly pre-release DLL was used. The DLL on helixcommunity has this feature.

[huang_ch]

It seems that, local telecom must have done strange things on router, I can hardly logon here.:devil: At least, your homepage is always accessible.
Siber, I met problem in directly encoding from some kind of MKV files.
And I found that MKV files which contains subtitles can't be loaded correctly with AVISYNTH, after I remove the subtitle and re-mux into MKV, it works well. :rolleyes:
I wonder whether it's possible for you to cover this kind of bug in RealAnime. :D
Or ... I should report it onto AVISYNTH forums? I think this maybe a well-known bug...

[Sirber]

Isn't VSfilter supposed to "load them into the video stream"? or else, I would have to remux them after the encode which is not very good in batch mode. Do you have vsfilter?

[Sirber]

I got a bug! Division by zero :D

Trying to encode a 11GB file :confused:

[edit]

Crash localized: My lib that gets me infos about AVI don't like huge files...

[Sirber]

A bug related to EHQ100 was discovered: sample (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=83984).

I'm gonna post an update ASAP.

Also, I'llo make EHQ "high" by default instead of extreme.

[RadicalEd]

Not sure what the problem is -- I still get the same error message even after downloading a third time. But I guess I don't mind until Karl fixes the bug :D

[Sirber]

What error? CRC error? I just checked the EXE, no errors in it. Maybe my damn ISP is proxying me.

[RadicalEd]

Yep. Can't figure it out. After attempting to install and getting the error, the three erring files (realanime.exe, racp.dll, erv4.dll) are gone from program files\realanime, if that offers any clue.

[Sirber]

WinRAR removes files in order to extract them. Could you PM me your email address? I'll send you a personnal copy :)

[RadicalEd]

Thanks, the file you sent installed fine.

[huang_ch]

Siber, I did have VSFilter installed.
And I've filed this bug on Avisynth.:D
Suggestion for RealAnime on subtitles:
provider 2 choices:
a) From input MKV: de-mux input MKV files, and after encoding finished, re-mux all subtitles.
b) Auto find: just like what VSFilter does. Maybe use the same main filename.And re-mux them into MKV.
I think these two choices can also work find with batch mode.:p

[Sirber]

Hum.....

I don't want to disapoint you, but I don't think I will implement those features. :(

1) I do not have the time
2) I don't get anything from doing so
3) I do not need such feature

Free software is great, for the end user only...

The source is there, as usual.

[huang_ch]

:eek:
I agree with 1) and 2), but I really don't know why you don't need this kind of feature. How do you deal with subtitles? Any good suggestion?
Maybe... if ... I've time... I'll try to make it myself. :)

[Sirber]

Easy :) I don't deal with them :D

99% of my sources are in AVI with hardcoded subs.

[huang_ch]

The same with me during the past long period. But...I found more and more raw in MKV comes out...

[Sirber]
