Anri-chan 3.3 (June 5, 2011)

2009-12-27 03:04:29 am

Quits halfway

This might just be me being dumb, but sometimes I'll encode something at HQ, creating an nmf, and then later want to encode an IQ as well. Is there any way to tell anri-chan to use the .nmfs that it already painstakingly created? If not, how come they don't just delete themselves after encoding is done (since they take up a lot of space)?

Other question: I'm getting a large secondary hard drive, is there some trick I can do to make anri-chan save to another hard drive since my current drive is super small?

I also wasn't able to get rotate to have an effect when I changed the vhs stuff in nate.avs, but decided I won't worry about it, since I usually have to resync the audio as well (by a variable amount).

<3 anri-chan and thanks for 3.0

This is on the to-do list, but not sure if I'll ever release a 3.1 with Anri 4 coming (soon?).

Open "C:\Program Files (x86)\anrichan3.0\ini.bat" in notepad and change the paths.

You'd have to say yes to the vhs question, but it's possible you don't see it... is this a PC game?

Yeah, I had been answering yes to the VHS question, but I may just not have done the scripting right. I edited the "nate_vhs_head_change_erase," taking out what was there between the {} things and inserting Rotate(180), and then tried RotateLeft which also had no effect. The videos were from a camcorder recording of a DS.

In other problems arising from unnecessary capturing practices, I captured some video at 1920x1080 (1080i) from my PS3, but ran into a problem with anri-chan changing the resolution. The game was only 30fps, so I ended up putting D1 and F2, but when the encoding options came up, there was no IQ or XQ (since those only appear on F1 things?) and HQ resized the video to 640x1080 (320x540 for LQ/MQ), which looks a little weird. It's just for youtube so far, but is there a way to get it to keep the resolution?

Edit: Tried lying and saying it was F1 to get the IQ/XQ options and IQ still resized to 640x1080, XQ wasn't creating a .avs for itself and was erroring (I'll attach a log soon if it helps?). Then tried lying and saying it was a PC run, encoding IQ and XQ. It's still running, but IQ was resized to 912x514, while XQ had the correct resolution. The only problem with this is that it wasn't deinterlaced.

If it helps, here's how I was capturing: I had to use VirtualDub since DScaler doesn't exactly support my card (goes to a generic DShow setup), and the resolution topped out at 720x480 and would crash if I tried to use a custom resolution. So, VirtualDub at 1920x1080, 29.97 fps, huffyuv from component 1080i from a PS3.

No support for HD analog video yet.

edit- Hmm, can you possibly upload a sample of your 1080i recording somewhere?

Don't know if this has been mentioned in the past.

http://speeddemosarchive.com/forum/index.php/topic,11124.0.html

The PSP's native res is 480x272; if recorded it would typically be enclosed (black borders) within a 640x480 or 720x480 res. Should probably be handled the same way as the Game Boy Player.

anri 4 actually has finished psp support iirc so snow can just rip that from the source if he wants to speed up implementation in anri 3.

Oops, didn't see this until today: http://www.filefront.com/15300377/GT5_HD_test.avi

It's only 10 seconds long so it didn't go over the upload limit on filefront. If there's somewhere else I can upload, I have a little longer version.

Thanks, 10 seconds should be fine. Good sample by the way, 60 fps game is more useful for now.

Heh... I wonder how slow mvbob deinterlacing will be on 1080i...... Undecided

I can't get anri to work.
I'm running Windows 7 x64, anri is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\anrichan3.0\
My source videos (Xbox 360 PAL60 widescreen) are captured with DScaler at 720x480 huffyuv (though, I couldn't get huffyuv to appear in the list over codecs, so I used huffyuv through ffdshow instead)

I start a new project with anrichan, when I get to avi input, i enter manual mode, and enter J:\ds000.avi

I get the following error:

Code:

avi#1: j:\ds000.avi
avi#2: n
FIND: Use :: No such file or directory

Verifying source...
[!]
[!] There was a problem loading the videos.
[!]

Possible causes:
 - Path to video file no longer valid
 - Video codec not installed properly
 - The videos do not have the same resolution and/or framerate

Ask for help in the Tech Support forum.
Anri will now exit.

Path is valid, codec SHOULD be installed properly (no problems opening it with the virtualdub bundled with anrichan) and I'm only trying to open one video.

I'm pretty sure it's caused by the fourcc now. When I tried to extract a sample with anri I got this message.
Avisynth open failure:
AVISource: Couldn't locate a decompressor for fourcc ffds
(C:\Users\Burbruee\Desktop\sample\sample_trimtemp.avs, line 3)

It's because I encoded huffyuv from ffdshow. Is there a way to fix it?

Thanks, couldn't get it to work though so I installed the real huffyuv and I'm fast recompressing my source videos to "real" huffyuv format right now.
On a "real" huffyuv video the fourcc description is detected as "hfyu" and use as "Â" (strange?)
I couldn't input the "Â" to my videos as it requires four characters. And just typing hfyu to the use box results in the same decompression error as earlier.
So that's why I'm recompressing with virtual dub right now.

Here's a sample if you still want it. http://143.homelinux.com/dump/sample.avi

And thanks.

EDIT: Okay, It's working now with real huffyuv..
But if I choose to create nmf anri cannot find vdub.exe and then errors out. Works fine if I don't create nmf.

So I traced it down to this from anri.bat

Code:

ECHO %time%  Encoding nmf...
"%anri_dir%TIMEOUT" 20 > NUL
"%anri_dir%TASKLIST" | find "vdub.exe" > NUL
IF %ERRORLEVEL%==0 GOTO nmf_waitingloop

So anri is looking at tasklist for vdub.exe. Is that failing for some reason I'm not sure. It creates two video files. projectname_HQIQXQ_1 and 2.avi
But they only get to about 20 MB or 1 second each before it's aborted..

I'm not sure exactly how much the nmf speeds things up. But without it it's a long wait.
My video is about 10 minutes long, and according to x264 it's going to take 5 hours. And that's only the first pass!
What's worse. This is segment 1/3. I have two more videos 10 minutes each to encode after this is done.
So it's going to take several days for sure. If I could take advantage of nmf I'd really like to be able to do so.

Hmm.

- Open a command prompt and navigate to the anri directory (cd C:\Program Files (x86)\anrichan3.0)
- In Windows explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\anrichan3.0\VirtualDub-1.9.7 and open vdub.exe. The window should stay open.
- In the command prompt, enter: tasklist | find "vdub.exe" & echo %errorlevel%

It should return a 0 if vdub is open, 1 if closed.

i have a question about widescreen settings:

i made a vid whose source was set to widescreen and then encoded it and i chose "yes" when it asked about widescreen but when i watched it, it looked like it still was in 4:3.
did i miss something in the process?

Seems like you have a different "find.exe" file... Huh?

Maybe try the full path to find.exe and see if you get the same help info I got. I believe they're "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\find.exe" and "C:\Windows\System32\find.exe".

I should have mentioned somewhere that Xvid and anamorphic widescreen isn't supported. If you mean H264 files: which media player are you using? Test in VLC?

It's at times like this you'd wish windows had a 'which' command like unix systems.

But oh wait, I just thought of something. I do some programming and have added some folders towards the system PATH variable. There might be a find from one of those folders which he is using. {yes there was} I should try moving it towards the end of the string instead, so he finds the find from the system folders first. {it worked}

So it should probably work now, I'll give it a try later. Smiley
