rm to avi, error: no error code, no log
[ATTENTION, DO NOT PROCEED: THE ERROR OCURRING HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH REAL MEDIA, IT'S A PROBLEM WITH NEWER VERSIONS - SEE viewtopic.php?t=4055&sid=db4d52cbc4a0e7 ... 13cefdbb23]
Hi there,
I'm trying to convert RM to AVI. MediaCoder plays the video quite well. But when converting, it stops right away, 'no file is outputted', and the log is empty.
If I convert just the audio it gets OK.
Any clue as to how get at least an error message in the log?
TIA.
Roger

I had Real Media installed, but then heard that I would need Real Media Alternative in order to convert. Since I've installed that, my GOM media player ceased to play the video, and gave the following information, which I don't know if it is relevant for your evaluation.efrancesco wrote:Also can you post the rm video codec information here so we can have a look at it?
Thanks for the interest.
(As the audio converts OK I don't put info about it).

By the way, I've found the log, it wasn't empty, but it doesn't show errors, just begins and ends the conversion right away.

Also, what exactly is your AVI video settings? You view those by clicking on the MediaCoder's video tab.
It's the newest version, I've upgraded today: 0.6.1.4150.
Settings: Bitrate based, 1200 Kbps, XviD, AVI, profile DXN Portable NTSC, Profile (the same I've always used), B-frames 0, nothing else set
Mediacoder shows this info on the rm video:
Codec : RealVideo 2
Codec/Info : H263, RealVideo 6
PlayTime : 35mn 8s
Bit rate : 268 Kbps
Width : 352 pixels
Height : 288 pixels
Display Aspect ratio : 1.222
Frame rate : 25 fps
Resolution : 12 bits
Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.106
BTW, Mediacoder still plays the video OK. And I'm sure it's not a problem with folder or file names for it converts the audio if I ignore the video.
Txs for the interest.
I think I've circumscribed the problem: if I set the encoder as Default, it closes 'no file outputted'. If I change the encoder for XviD, it generates a file ... but a mp4 file(!!??) that plays but the audio out of synch.

2. Video Renderer

*** VIDEO INFO ***
Input Type : mp4v(GVC)

Setting the encoder to x264 it generated a similar file but IN synch.
The other Mediacoder settings are,

I think we have a bug here...
To check that it is really an encoding problem, I set the output to raw and it worked OK. Pity I don't have as much space as to convert the entire file to raw and then compress it with regular xvid...

Thanks for those who minded the problem.
