Converting AVI and MP4 files to RMVB

EASY REALMEDIA PRODUCER
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0OUW6PBV

Install the .exe file from the .rar
You may choose only these checked box for install. I say this because at my first install i checked all boxes and when trying to convert, the program crashed because of codec jam. If it still crashes, it means that there is a codec jam from codecs previoulsy installed by you. You will have to sort this out alone



After installation, open Easy RealMedia Producer v1.94 from Start Menu (you can still create a shortcut on desktop). On opening you will be prompted to the Global Settings Menu. Only one correction here: Set Process Priority to "Above Normal" (to gain in time)



Now follow the steps 1 to 7
1. Browse for AVI to be converted
2. Highlight files to apply settings (here only one but u can highlight as much as u want for batch converts)
3. Click on Settings
4. Choose "Use CBR"
5. Choose "Sharpest Image" (this one gave me best results)
6. Choose "RealVideo 10" as Video Codec
7. Check "Loss Protection"
additional options is to add clip info like http://www.da-anime.org, your name, destination folder and save or set the settings as default for future use.



Now comes the most interesting part of this software
It allows you to have total control of the ouput media, that is file size and quality...
Follow steps 1 to 6
1. Click Calulator
2. Type episode length
3. Size of output file you would wish (conver MB to KB, 1MB=1024KB)
4. Calculate... Bitrate appears, here 371 (memorise)
5. Close
6. Insert bitrate in white box (450 is the default value)



Then Click OK and then Click Start

Only downs to this software is that it may take from 30min to 40min depending on your computers performance (Me P4 3GHz, 512RAM, took 38mins for one episode). So i would advise you to prepare your convert list, Start and go to BED! My explanation may appear long but it's short and quickly done. TRUST ME, YOU WON'T REGRET THE OUTPUT!!!

anyone know how to convert avi to mkv?

[granby6]

converting avi to mkv would be converting from a medium quality container to a high quality one.  it would only make some sense if you were sizing down the files, but the quality will drop.  thus, going to rmvb files would be just as good.


and for the mac, i have no clue.

anyone know how to convert avi to mkv?

I wouldn't recommend it, but why do you need to pack avi to mkv? avi has way better compatibility with other devices, and generally sufficient for everyday use. mkv is normally used for multi-track audio with softsub.

You can actually mux (create) mkv files from several avi/audio/video/subtitle files using mkvtoolnix (google it). But it is simply merge those individual files together.

Also, as granby6 has already mentioned, if you expect the quality to go up as you convert avi to mkv, you are terribly wrong. Any form of re-encoding will only at best give you the same quality as the source file, or, more often, lower quality.

hey Father.
I thought you got it to work...

Ive tested this with a few codecs, my results are -
Doesnt work-
h264
mp4
mkv

divx
xivd

So, how do we get the other codecs to realvideo?

[Father-Sama]

mkv need to be converted to avi before you can use this program. as for the others... too tired to answer lol.
