Suggestion, encoding in the Real media format?

[gizmoe]

Hello there,

First of all, i like to thank everyone who's made this site possible, ie Viper, VUK... ...Thanks a bunch guys!!

But here's a suggestion i just thought of. I was watching this 45min long Russel Peters stand up comedy thingy, which is encoded in real media *.rm format, and it's just 57mb!! Given that it's about half the size (normal aspect ratio) of the typical VUK wide screen recording, i'd guess that if it were double the size, that'd be just about 115mb? And if you wanted to include better audio, perhaps max out at 150mb.

That'd be great for our harddisks eh?

I'm not sure about encoders and stuff like that, but there u go

My 2 cents worth

Sincere regards
Shaun

RealMEDIA sucks

Hell no, Dude... Some ppl wanna watch it on TV and not on the computer...
If the Scene is going for Xvid it should be fine...

Anyway, at the current filesize Xvid is 99% as good as the new H.264 codecs. Coming to really low bitrates, yeah, sure, .rms and the others maybe superior. But I haven't anybody heard complaining about the 350 MB... Hell, I dl the 700 MB ones...

Ha ha lol this is a joke right :lol: RealMedia= rat shit
Besides, most people are quite happy with the current format and like Buba said, "most ppl watch it no the tv and not on the computer.."

Real Media works on certain toons like Southpark where we need to keep the file sizes lower than 40mb for sharing purposes, no way were changing TG from Xvid AVI, because I watch them on my DivX DVDplayer

RealMedia is junk and not gonna happen. The res is also much lower probably and RM gets real boxy with movement.

Well, those issues are gone with the newest .rmvb

Still, I hate it, and I'm happy everybody sees it the same way..

yup, Real Media is of the devil

 

[mike_tseng]

uh... yeah this is kinda pointless... no offence but like everyone said already, i wanna watch it on tv...

on the other hand you could always d/l it then convert it to *.rm yourself you save space.

On a side note, Russel Peters is fucking hilarious. You HAVE to see him live.

 

[gtrietsc]

RealMedia is one of the most computer users unfriendly thing on entire world...

 

[jensked]

I always hated Realmedia. Certainly the default Real player.
But I must say: .rmvb did surprise me.

Evidently RM has really improved over the years as far as quality is concerned, but still not nearly as good as xvid and it's a PITA player as far as I'm concerned.
See :
codec shootout : http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/codecs-104-1.htm
conclusion : http://www.doom9.org/codecs-104-5.htm

My opinion:

- AVC (h.264) is best, but demands more horsepower for encoding and decoding.
- RealMedia might have decent quality (by now, it really used to severely suck), but just about nothing supports it and the player blows. (If you do use it, use realmedia alternative).
- Xvid has excellent quality and encodes and decodes quick.
