really weird.. the decoder filter isnt there. Go to Graph>Insert Filters>DirectShow Filters and look for these below. Also this is what the graph should look like:

check if realvideo decoder is there at all in the insert filters.

:\
weird
WHY

do you have realone or the codec pack
this is strange :\
it looks to be a bug in the decoder filter.. I guess it could be slightly buggy still :0
what OS/processor are you running

i first tried it without installing the codecs cause i have realone. Then i installed the codecs, no go. I am using Win2k pro and my CPU? 2.8 p4

might be a prob with the dshow filter and win2k but.. if the audio plays, this is a strange problem

anyone else having anything like this?

Important update

rmdshow.exe (the second installer) is now updated to the latest version. This solved pwolf's problem, so I suggest getting it.

How to encode good RM content:
Get the helix producer CLI.
In the main directory there's a file, job.rpjf. Open this file in notepad. This is the helix jobfile that tells the producer what to do when it encodes. There are only a few tags you need to worry about and/or change. These are sectioned off by double spacing.

<enableTwoPass type="bool">true</enableTwoPass>

change true to false to use 1-pass encoding. Two pass is usually better though, so I don't recommend changing this.

<filename type="string">G:\THE CODECCOMPARISON\kurumi\source.avs</filename>

this needs to be changed to the path of your input file

<filename type="string">G:\THE CODEC COMPARISON\kurumi\RV9crap.rmvb</filename>

this one needs to be changed to the path of your output file.

<avgBitrate type="uint">1048576</avgBitrate>

average bitrate in bps. Take the kbps you want and multiply it by 1024. In this case I was using 1024 kbps.

<encodingType type="string">vbrBitrate</encodingType>
<maxFrameRate type="double">24.000000</maxFrameRate>

encode mode and framerate. Encode mode can be changed to cbr or vbrQuality. Framerate is self explanitory.

<codecFlavor type="uint">3</codecFlavor>
<codecName type="string">sipr</codecName>

The audio codec/bitrate used. See this table:
http://digitalinsanity.ath.cx/~tab/audio.html

Now save job.rpjf. Open up a command line (run>cmd.exe) and the producer folder. Drag producer.exe into the commandline (it'll automatically place the path), type " -j " (without quotes), and then drag job.rpjf into the cli. It'll look something like:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32>C:\unzipped\producer_9.2M5b1_windows\producer\producer.exe -j C:\unzipped\producer_9.2M5b1_windows\producer\job.rpjf

hit enter, and the encode is set to go.
