FAQ
Q: What happened to the old site and the forum?
A: It was shutdown due to lack of user interest and user harassment.

Q: Is RealAnime still in development?
A: No, this is the final release.

Q: Will there be new releases after 3.0?
A: Very unlikely.

Q: How do I get support for RealAnime?
A: You can use Doom9's forum at http://forum.doom9.org.

Q: How will I fail to get support?
A: Easy! You can send me emails or instant messenging. It will be my
highest pleasure to ignore it and take some cool actions like spaming
it or build nice filters to do it automaticly.

Fast First Pass for x264 added to CVS.

[Yama4050242]

input can not be .avs?

tools-> ffdshow use my installed ffdshow or ffdshow in realanime?

[Sirber]

input can not be .avs?
No. Please use built-in AVS for filtering. AVS as input is a major pain to handle.
tools-> ffdshow use my installed ffdshow or ffdshow in realanime?The installed one. RealAnime doesn't come with ffdshow. Please install Helix YUV Codecs v1.2 or else encoding may fail if you use filtering.

[Sirber]

Added minimize to system tray.

[Sirber]

Removed AVS audio filtering.
Removed RMVB support. All output will now be MKV.
Added besweet and belight. All audio is decoded to WAV prior encoding. Should resolve our long standing bug when encoding vorbis files.

[Doom9]

no native real output anymore? how about RealX264XviDVPxDivXFFDshowTOMKV as name? ;)

[Sirber]

RealAnime, the real way anime should be :p

[Doom9]

well, considering the affinity of Anime and Real (I guess it's due to Real's strong filtering not having much of an adverse effect on the content, unlike live action content), shouldn't it only support the Real codec then?

[Sirber]

I guess it's due to Real's strong filtering not having much of an adverse effect on the content, unlike live action content
Inloop, like AVC?
shouldn't it only support the Real codec then?
Why, do you see me as a competitor for GUIing x264?

[Doom9]

Why, do you see me as a competitor for GUIing x264?Well, quite obviously you are, but that's not why I mention it. Today was the first time I actually read the featureset of your software.. I always figured the name real was used because of the video codec. But you could argue the same about MeGUI.. since the support of x264.exe it is possible to encode completely without mencoder, and the addition of mkvmerge only offers more possibilities not to use mencoder.

[Sirber]

ok. It indeed started with real codecs only, but then VFW codecs has been added (~2.20) including xvid, later on x264 VFW and now x264 CLI. Later on I will add nero codecs to my audio codec list. Technology is going on, so I have to update :)

[Sirber]

made some progress lately:

[rushin_911]

Hello Sirber,
I've tried your software and I find it good, thx for it...

A suggestion though: can you allow for input and output of audio files only? so that aac,wav, or mp3 files for example can be encoded to he-aac audio, perhaps in an mp4 container?

Edit: I've noticed for default values you have "Ref" set on 8, is there any benifit in terms of quality/speed when this value is set over 5?

[Sirber]

Hello Sirber,
I've tried your software and I find it good, thx for it...Thanks! :D

A suggestion though: can you allow for input and output of audio files only? so that aac,wav, or mp3 files for example can be encoded to he-aac audio, perhaps in an mp4 container?In final 3.0, it will accept perfectly video and audio inputs, but output will be limited to MKV.
Edit: I've noticed for default values you have "Ref" set on 8, is there any benifit in terms of quality/speed when this value is set over 5?IMO speed will not change much, as well quality. But, 1 vs 8, speed will not chamge much either but Q will be lower.

[rushin_911]

oh well I'm glad to hear that it will accept audio inputs perfectly :) the intention behind my suggestion was to allow realanime to also be an audio encoder, so as to convert different audio streams to he-aac audio.

[Sirber]

[Sirber]

Please redownload, I forgot a "break" after analysis.

[Sirber]

Fixed a bug in x264 encoding. new build. :(

[Kanuki]

Too sad. T_T no output for rmvb. I was waiting to encode from OGM to RMVB.
I've tried to use another program to encode from OGM to AVI. I was success but there is no subtitle. Do you guys know anyway to convert from OGM to AVI or RMVB with Subtitle?

[Sirber]

RealAnime can do: OGM (video, audio, subtitle) --> MKV (video, audio, subtitle)
RMVB is outdated.

[Sharktooth]

Can it do OGM/MKV -> MP4 with all the bells and whistles (supposing video is already mpeg-4 and converting audio to AAC if necessary...) ?

[wata]

hi, can you bring back rmvb output
i prefer rmvb when i am encoding using realvideo & realaudio format

[ggab]

does it need BeSweet (+ BeLight?) to work?
because before, i've got a
"[06:36:30] >> Found: .avi
[06:36:30] > Tracks: Video: 1, Audio: 1, Subtitle: 0
[06:36:30] > Encoding video track... done.

[06:36:34] > Converting audio track to WAV... error #2
[06:36:34] Encoding session aborted."

and with both apps. in \BeSweet everything is OK (the wav file in avi's folder)


PS: why does the default bitrate decrease from 536 to 436? how about the quality?

edit: a big thank for this super great program! i like it very much :cool:

[Kanuki]

yeah.. I know that RMVB is outdated but I still like it because it can save me a lot of my hdd space.

[Sirber]

Can it do OGM/MKV -> MP4 with all the bells and whistles (supposing video is already mpeg-4 and converting audio to AAC if necessary...) ?
no. It cannot output MP4. I though about it but since no one cared before, it's not in. IMO MKV is more flexible, but it's not HW compatible.
hi, can you bring back rmvb output
i prefer rmvb when i am encoding using realvideo & realaudio format
I'm affraid you will have to stick to an older version. Unless you are using RealPlayer, MKV is a lot better than RMVB.

PS: why does the default bitrate decrease from 536 to 436? how about the quality?
Since x264 is the new default, and because it perform better than RV10, in my tests 436kbps gives excellent
results on anime content and about 85-90MB in file size. You can always set it back to 536 :)
yeah.. I know that RMVB is outdated but I still like it because it can save me a lot of my hdd space.
Well, I did not remove RealVideo and RealAudio, just the container (RMVB). RealAnime will continue to output your small files :)

[ggab]

* a bad thing in realanime:
every time it loads, my floppy drive reads itself
maybe there is a way to disable the read/scan in A: at start (i hope u can "fix it" :) )



"besweet is included. can you send me your source? it's working #1 on my side. Please post your default.ini file in /profiles"

all in default (after 30RC4 instalation)

[21:43:11] >> Converting RAW to AVI... done.Holy! Encoding went very fast! ;) Seems your rez is not "mod16". Height and Width must be "integer" when divided by 16.

About the floppy I will check :)

[darkavatar1470]

uhm.... where can i set my BeSweet Dir ? it can't seem to find it under C:\Program Files\RealAnime ( neither could I ) but since it's outputting to MKV, I guess I can take the video file and mux it myself..... I'm all thumbs up for MKV output, but some pepole are more happy with plain rmvb, maybe you can leave a option to let the user choose for themself.

one more question, is the video bitrate separate from the audio bitrate?
I remember in an old version the actual video bitrate is after you deduct the audio bitrate..... how is it set in this version??

[Sirber]

seems I forgot to add besweet to the installer. Let me post a new version :)

I removed the RMVB option to light the code.

about bitrate, the one you set is video only.

[edit]

New version up, 11MB :D

[darkavatar1470]

thanks for the quick reply,
I think the old version is good enough for pure Real Media output...
so I'll keep an extra in my HD....

[ggab]

seems I forgot to add besweet to the installer. Let me post a new version :)

New version up, 11MB :D
11mb?, the previous one was 8.4mb and besweet is about 500kb...

the source that i cant encode is:
Video: XVID 704x396 23.98fps
Audio: MPEG Audio Layer 3 48000Hz stereo 128Kbps

so 704 % 16 = 0
but 396 & 16 != 0....

it seems i need to crop some pixelt in height :)

[Sirber]

Mirror hasn't been updated. Also, you can't use download accelerator. Sorry about the troubles :(

[ggab]

ok :)

All audio is decoded to WAV prior encoding. Should resolve our long standing bug when encoding vorbis files
* another question:
as now every enconding session creates a WAV file...
is it really necesary to decode all sources audio formats (excluding vorbis files, no?) to "plain" WAV?
because, a 80min file, will result in a 700mb file.avi.wav , 2hs movie = 1gb (temporal HD usage)

[Sirber]

People (including me :D) usualy encode 170-230MB AVI files to smaller ones. All files go through besweet to adjust the delay and to normalyze the audio. Also, producer has much less issues encoding from WAV than other container.

In 3.0 final, you will be able to skip audio encoding and keep the source.

[Kanuki]

Mirror hasn't been updated. Also, you can't use download accelerator. Sorry about the troubles :(

I used Flashget 1.71 to download and it worked fine.

* "Copy in temp" doesn't save

[Kanuki]

little bug
- The audio setting is not saved.

[ggab]

if a video file is opened in VirtualDub, and i click in Start Encode in R.Anime, it fails with "Erreur E/S 32" window box

do u think it is important to fix/solve that?

with these sources:

#1 does it mean that Realanime can't re-encode to WAV some audio codecs?


#2 i have a lot of anime clips to re-encode, but are from 160x120 @ 7fps to 640x480 @ 30fps
do i need to change several/various settings for a RV10 or x264 encode with these sources within Realanime? or the only (important) parameter would be the bitrate (for video and audio)?
maybe with a 320x240 @ 25fps clip, 300kbps for video is just enough; 200x150 @ 20fps, in 200kbps, etc

#3 is there a way to log the output from encoder (bottom of RealAnime's Log window) when x264 is setted? (because RV10 has its own producer.log...)


PS: Thanks a lot for the great support pal!
RealAnime rocks, ANIME & J-Pop rocks, Sirber rocks! :)

[Sirber]

1) I think besweet doesn't support other things than MP3, MP2, AAC, OGG and AC3. Troublesome...

2) for 640x480@24, I use 436kbps. I never tryed with lower rez, since I'm only interrested in high Q :) Best is to try by yourself.

3) Bottom is only ythe last line. I will check if I can enable x264 logging.

Producer crash: I think it's related to MPEG audio decompressed to WAV. I will look at it ASAP.

[Sirber]

I found an app to convert AVI to WAV. I will use it if besweet don't directly support it.

Maybe I will drop MPEG support... It's not widely used anymore (in anime world) and I have no source to test :(

[Sirber]

Non-MP3 AVI source will be denied. Also, all inputs will be up/down sampled to 44.1kHz.

that is because he-aac uses 44100hz in 48kbps and 64kbps profiles?

I found an app to convert AVI to WAV. I will use it if besweet don't directly support it.
which one? //could u include it in next release as an optional way to get a "correct" WAV temp file?

i like the MPEG v1 support, maybe u could leave it as a legacy feature (or optional, well who knows.....)
Non-MP3 AVI source will be denied
is this restriction also with Mpeg Layer 1 and 2?
no way to make it softer? (it sounds very restrictive...)


tks

[Sirber]

which one? //could u include it in next release as an optional way to get a "correct" WAV temp file?avi2wav :)

i like the MPEG v1 support, maybe u could leave it as a legacy feature (or optional, well who knows.....)RealAnime 3.0 uses a track management module, unlike 2.25. Also, all audio go through besweet for decompression, filtering and later recompression too. If besweet doesn't like it, I will have to make more and more big temp files which is not a good thing.

is this restriction also with Mpeg Layer 1 and 2?
no way to make it softer? (it sounds very restrictive...)Most "anime" source are all in MP3.

[Sirber]

Well, I'm fixing bugs and will release 3.0 final today. I will post the features and specs as well. Stay tuned!

[Sirber]

Final release is out!

Fixed:
* Audio didn't load correctly
* Besweet temp folder used the source
* Now only MP3 is a valid codec for AVI (besweet crash).

[ggab]

cool release! ;)


ups, u forgot to include avi2wavcmd.exe in the setup:

http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/5092/caapture6ex.gif




* do u find BeLight 0.22 beta 4 (included in v3.0) a better option than latest beta 6?

* the same for avi2wav, realanime has the 3.3 version, latest is 3.5 ( http://agrgic.tripod.com/avi2wav/aviwav35.zip )



C:\Program Files\RealAnime30final>x264.exe

The "M" is for Modified version (to avoid the 23.976/24 bug?) ?

(r286) Reverted to GPAC 0.3.0 and updated SSE2 pixel routines to V5.

Yes, if you have SSE2 CPU I suggest your use the latest from Sharktooth
the x264 encoder that comes with Realanime is SSE2 compatible, doesn't it?
and it's the Sharktooth's one, no? [i have a Sempron64 3300 (supports SSE2)]

[Sirber]

I will update the source but I will not post a new buikd. I merely use avi2wav to detect if the AVI contain an MP3.

[Sirber]

Well, I will need a new relaese. I got a bug with mkvmerge:
mkvmerge v1.5.5 ('Another White Dash') built on Aug 21 2005 15:40:13
'C:\Program Files\RealAnime\temp\0.new.avi': Using the AVI demultiplexer. Opening file. This may take some time depending on the file's size.
'C:\Program Files\RealAnime\temp\out_aud.1.rm': Using the RealMedia demultiplexer.
At the moment mkvmerge does not support converting from VfW-mode AVC/h.264 tracks to native Matroska-mode AVC/h.264 tracks. You can, however, first import the video track into a MP4 file with e.g. 'MP4Box' (use Google). Then you can use mkvmerge and put the video into a Matroska file.
If you really know what you are doing then you can force mkvmerge to put this AVC/h.264 track into a Matroska file even in VfW mode if you add '--engage allow_avc_in_vfw_mode' to the command line. You can do that in mmg with the 'Add command line options' menu entry in the 'Muxing' menu.

[namelessted]

ok, ive got there .ogm files that have dual audio and option subtitles, i was wandering if there was a way to encode it so the file keeps the dual audio and subtitle option.

[Sirber]

Yes, by default it keeps all tracks. Track options is in "Input" / "Advanced" tab.

[damrod]

it's normal

it's a bug in 5.5 release of mkvtools ... ;-)

bad luck :-)

avi2wav2 is also good...you can specify output wave file name

[Sirber]

huh? are you talking about the AVC in AVI bug?

[damrod]

no mkvmerge

see doom9 news main page

MKVToolNix 1.5.5 no longer supports AVC video in VfW compatibility mode, can extract timecodes in a timecode v2 format, allows you to specify an output charactersets for all strings that are being exported, allows to extract raw AVC streams and fixes a number of bugs.

[Sirber]

Well, you have a cmdline flag to make it work.

[Al79]

* a bad thing in realanime:
every time it loads, my floppy drive reads itself
maybe there is a way to disable the read/scan in A: at start (i hope u can "fix it" :) )

[DarkNite]

Thanks to everyone involved for all their hard work. It really is apprectiated. Some people just aren't very good at showing it. ;)

Any plans for another project yet?

[Sirber]

I started last weekend RealAnime LE, which is a simpler interface than RealAnime 3.0 to x264 with nero he-aac audio codecs. It has mainly all features of realanime. It's started from scratch and more object oriented.

[ggab]

could you tell us what are steps in realanime's encoding session (with default settings)?
i mean:

* Encoding video track
* Converting RAW to AVI
via avisynth?
0.avs in TEMP's folder
AVISource("C:\noname.avi", audio=false)

* Converting audio track to WAV
via besweet? which (internal) command line?
RealAnime 3.0 uses a track management module, unlike 2.25. Also, all audio go through besweet for decompression, filtering and later recompression too. If besweet doesn't like it, I will have to make more and more big temp files which is not a good thing.

* it creates an anime.rpjf with the procedure to encode the wav file in racp (he-aac at 64kbps) to producer. Resulting in a "\temp\out_aud.1.rm" audio only file

there is a 0.avi in TEMP with video only:
then mkvmerge.exe stars muxing both audio & video files?? how (command line)?


i'd like to know a bit more of internal's realanime job (extended info will be great) :)
thnks

[Sirber]

1) Source analysis
2) Track extraction*
3) Track encoding
3a) Video: producer (CMD), x264 (CMD)
3b) Audio: decompression (besweet (CMD)), producer
4) Merge in MKV

[notags]

Hello Sirber,

I have finally gotten RealAnime 3.0 working, but somehow it won't mux subtitles (srt) into the mkv output. I'm trying to encode a mkv file with SRT & OGG - everything goes on fine, log says both video and audio encoding successful, but somehow I got an error when it tries to merge the subtitle into the container. How I got to this conclusion is because everything works fine if I disable subtitles from the input.

Getting really frustrated, I resorted to manual muxing using mkvmerge and found out where the problem lies. Somehow I couldn't mux in the SRT file unless I added "--engage allow_avc_in_vfw_mode" in the command line as stated in the GUI instructions. Is there anyway I can overcome this problem? Would it be advisable for me to force mux the subtitle in this way?

Thank you.

Update: Ooops, that was dumb of me. I just read that you have already posted this bug with mkvmerge in the previous page. So I take it that it's safe to force mux the file?

[Sirber]

Hi, I added this flag in the last release of 3.0. Please redownload or wait for 3.1 (to be released in few minutes). The problem is not the sub but the video. RealAnime produce an "incompatible" stream: h264 RAW --> AVI --> MKV. I have no choice coz x264 MP4/MKV output module is broken.

[Sirber]

Updated:
* x264 rev 292A
* MKVToolnix 1.5.6

Fixed:
* Copy source to temp save/load

Still not working:
* x264 output to MP4 or MKV

Note: this is an upgrade for 3.0. You need 3.0 to be installed first. Thanks!
http://www.detritus.qc.ca

[ggab]

could you add an auto test option
if ( audio source WAV file exist in \temp)
.....go on;
else
.....encode avi's audio to wav;

that use the same audio source wav file (noname.avi.wav in \temp), to avoid re-encoding it?
(because every time the session begins it takes more time... and i wanna try severals bitrates and compare quality :) )

thanks a lot

[Sirber]

Sorry, won't post a new build unless there are bugs.

[ggab]

RV10: v3.1 defaults to Curve in rate control (v3.0 was Streaming), is it right?

bug?
with RV10, when avisynth is enabled, at least 1 avi file fail to encode. with "[03:27:34] > Encoding video track... error #-1073741819! Encoding aborted"


bug2?
weird blocks in lady's hair:

RV10 defauklts was "streaming".

bug 1: producer made an access violation. Can't do much about it.

bug 2: RV10 error, not RealAnime one :)

[edit]

#2 could be caused by the "curve". try with "streaming".

[Sirber]

RealAnime 3.1 seems to fail to detect audio from AVI. Investigating...

[Sirber]

should affect public release. found another possible bug (x264), then merging RAW to AVI (should be MP4 later), I use the FPS from the source and not the encoded file. I'm affraid it will be difficult to get the FPS of the encoded file since it can be modified from many things in AVS.

bug 2: RV10 error, not RealAnime one :)

[edit]

#2 could be caused by the "curve". try with "streaming".

---------------------

Still not working:
* x264 output to MP4 or MKV


both streaming & curve, the same bug :(

-------------------------

realanime creates the .MKV with "V_MS/VFW/FOURCC, h264" in every video (x264).
is that the problem with "x264 output to MKV" ?

[Sirber]

nope. wouldn't think so. It's "x264" standart, even for the one whitout bugs.

[Sirber]

Updated:
* x264 rev 295

Fixed:
* FPS issues using RAW output

I think now everything is pretty stable. Enjoy!

[IA_Helios]

hi i have realanime 3 rc2 and i tried to convert one episode of One Piece and its convert the video perfectly but the audio send me Error #1, what can i do o_O?

[ggab]

RealAnime_320.exe @ Detritus = Not found.


IA_Helios, are u using release candidate 2? (try with latest version)
one piece's audio is in MP3, no?
have u got the encoded (no audio) .avi file in \temp ?

u can upload a (mini) sample clip with www.rapidshare.de (just a few seconds via virtualdub, direct stream copy)

[methos]

Is it an option to indicate in the log of realanime which cycle/pass is running and perhaps an indication how much time left in that cycle (total frames/fps etc)

[Sirber]

@ggab

I tryed my link and it work.

http://www.detritus.qc.ca/#download

@IA_Helios

RealAnime does not produce errors, external softwares it use do. Unless I know what got wrong, I cannot help you. Posting logs or a step by step repro generaly helps. I myself encode One Piece and they all encoded #1.

@methos

No, only the encoder output in realtime.

previous version, had HE-AAC at 64kbps (default mode)

[Sirber]

Woot Woot Mononoke and Hikaru! :D

Just select HE-AAC and save the profil. Everything will work #1 then :) I dunno why this happens. It seems it's only on fresh installation when the default profil is created and audio is not selected. I will check that.

Thanks for the bug report! :D

lol how to skip the audio check? why don't I have this setting?

[Sirber]

@ggab

BeSweet doesn't like your source. I can't do much abotu it.

@Kanuki

Setting is added on profil save. It is only avalible in 3.2 IIRC.

[Kanuki]

How can I get v3.2 IIRC.?

[Sirber]

IIRC stands for "If I remember correctly".

Click on my banner if you want 3.2 :)

[Kanuki]

IIRC stands for "If I remember correctly".

Click on my banner if you want 3.2 :)

XD nice defination ^_^"I think your RealAnime is 3.2 UARW.

I forgot to tell you, I'm using your RealAnime 3.2

Do you want me to redownload it again?
































P.S. URAW = "You already remember wrongly" XD

[Sirber]

nope.

add in "profil.ini"

[general]
skipaudiocheck=1

[methos]

Is there a way to trace the default x264 settings in RealAnime and convert them to the format used in the commandline utility of x264.exe so that you play with the a little more, without the 'restrictions' o RA?

[Sirber]

nope, unless you get the source and modify it. Which "restrictions" are you talking about?

[methos]

for starters...
different settings for the different passes (what speeds up the process without loosing too much qual),
i see you use 4th pass.. while meGui goes up to three, would like to know the difference in that... i'm seeing some quantizers which i don't find in RA, i'd like to know what kind of affect playing around with the maxbitrate and buffer will have on the quality...

[Sirber]

You can use 4 pass, but it's not recommended. The settings apply to all passes unless you use "Fast first pass". In that case, the first pass will use other settings than whan you chose in order to boost speed, but second and third pass will be with the settigns you chose.

[IA_Helios]

hi, i want to know how can i mux the video file(.RMVB) with the audio file(.WAV), please if someone can help me i will thanks a lots ^^

[ggab]

demux the video file (RMVB video track in the MKV u have got) with MKVextractGUI:
mkvextract.exe and mkvmerge.exe must be located at the
same folder of MKVextractGUI.exe.

----------------------------------------------------------------
USAGE

MKVextractGUI provide the video, audio, subtitles,
attachments, chapters division and tags demuxing.

Chapters list can be demuxed in .xml (matroska) format or .txt
simple text (like OGM format).

Select a Matroska file (.mkv, .mka, .mks) and a ouput folder,
check the desired tracks, etc and press "Extract".
then, mux the video file with your WAV file, with www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/

but WAV files are huge size :D

[Sirber]

huge and useless :)

[IA_Helios]

ok, what do you recomend to extract the audio file?

[Sirber]

All I know is that you have a wav. Not very extractable...

Sorry for the delay, I didn't notice a new post :confused:

Try to resize to 640x368 or upgrade x264.exe to the latest version.

[Kanuki]

Recently I've noticed that RealAnime is having problem with Audio Encoding.
I think since you've used BeSweet for Audio Encoding.

P.S.Where can I get the latest version of X264?

[ggab]

http://x264.nl/

in particular: x264-xxx-install.exe
mirror 01 mirror 02 mirror 03 mirror 04 mirror 05 mirror 06

current revision: 333


after the installation, copy & paste x264.exe from install's dir to Realaaime's folder.

[Sirber]

I use besweet, but sometimes the sw I use to detect the codec in AVI is not good. geel free to add in profil.ini, [general], skipaudiocheck=1.

Best use Sharktooth build in AVC forum, in the sticky.

[Kurtnoise]

@Sirber : look this thread (http://unite-video.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=7614)...

[Sirber]

@Kurtnoise13

done. I can't stand people who can't put their trim in the filtering tab ;)

[Sirber]

This software is obsolete. Please use "RealAnime LE" instead.

Should I make an update to 3.2? Is anyone still usign it?

This same thing has been discused and fixed (I think :P) by Sirber in this thread: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=100863&page=10&pp=20 That should solve the problem if you don't mind encoding with RealAnimeLE instead of RA3.2.

It would be kinda long to update 3.2 for that issue with LE code. But, what you can do now is this (few post above):

[XH42]

Hi I've seen your RealAnime 4.00, Looks great.
But I have a problem with your older versions (the 2.25 and 1.91) that were posted on your detritus.qc.ca website. (Sorry if I posted on the wrong thread, or this question has been repeated).
I get the "Error loading ffdshow.ax The specified module could not be found" dialog box when i open the FFDSHOW VFW Decoder tab? Any ideas to solve it?

Cheers.
XH42

[Sirber]

you mean in the menu?

1.91 doesn't have access to FFDShow VFW.

Can you explain more in details the problem? How to reproduce, etc.

[XH42]

Thanks for the Reply Sirber :)
In the 2.25 version, when I go click on the "tools" tab, then click on the "FFDSHOW VFW Decoder", or the "FFDSHOW Decoder" tab, the ffdshow.ax error will ocurr, and I was not able to encode video with the 2.25 version.

[Sirber]

Ok.... why not using the latest version? :p

What is the error while trying to encode?

[XH42]

Here's the error I get when I click on the tab:

http://www.picturezero.com/images/XH42/error.jpg

I want to (like many people) want to put it into the RMVB format :), regardless whether it's a outdated format or not. I always used have to encode to MKV with RV10 and Cook audio, extract them, rename the audio stream(.Ra)to RM, then use GUIMux to mux them to RMVB format. I get sick of the Cook format.

[Sirber]

Ha! You want RMVB container...

What if I add back RMVB to RealAnime 4? With some limitations... 1 video stream and 1 audio stream.

Video: RV10
Audio: Helix HE-AAC (32kbps, 48kbps, 64kbps)
Container: RMVB

Would that make you (and many people) happy? I wonder why no one asked for this... HE-AAC is way more efficient than cook, and can be stored in RMVB.

I'm sorry I cannot fix 2.25 or outdated GUIs. Need to work on v4 :) If you give me an answer before tomorrow morning I could add this to the next release (which is due tomorrow).

Question: is it why ERMP is still so popular? Coz it does RMVB?

[XH42]

That'll work :), Thanks.
I don't know why I became a RMVB fan, even though I also liked the MKV container. I'll definitely take MKV over AVI (it appears to me that MKV saves slightly more space than AVI).

[Sirber]

k

I'm working on it. The GUI will not be flawless regarding the settings, so you will have to watch out. The upcoming guide will cover this "encoding style".

[Sirber]

done. I can do RMVB now.

Sample (http://www.mytempdir.com/359455)

RealAnime 4 RC2 should be released tomorrow.

@XH42

You will need to get RealAnime 4.0.0 RC2 and PowerPack in order to have access to RV10 and RMVB.

[BoostAddict]

honestly, i love your software sirber

but i only have one problem with it, and that's the audio sync problems

i dont have that problem with ERMP :confused:

[Sirber]

It seems where is a 100ms audio delay when using Parametric Stereo. You can always fix that by hand in "Adv" tab and set the audio delay. I might hardcode it but the delay may vary.

i dont have that problem with ERMPand you don't have x264 either ;)

[BoostAddict]

i'm a noob and can't tell the difference :p

rmvb looks just as good and smaller in size so that works for me (for now i guess :) )

[Sirber]

Well, your audio problem will be fixed in RealAnime 4.0.0 RC2. I will add a delay.

[killerhex]

im trying to use RealAnime 4 Rc i can its says i need 256mb raman i do 256mb of ram
