View Full Version : Encoding with enc_aacplus

I'm having difficulties...
First, I extracted the audio stream from an avi file which, apparently, is VBR. The file contains only a WAVEFORMATEX header and the mp3 data. Anyway, the file plays fine (in Zoom Player & DirectShow, but not wmp strangely).
enc_aacPlus didn't want to accept is as input, so I tried settings up a graph in GraphBuilder -> source -> MPEG-I Splitter -> Dshow Audio Decoder -> Wav DEST -> File Writer to convert it to a wave file. However, I also found that enc_aacPlus did not accept this converted, new file. I also tried to make a wrapper around the mp3 file in an avisynth script with DirectShowSource and use avs2wav to convert it to wav, but it too, failed. It simply stayed at scanning and did not write any data to the output file.

So my question is: how do I make a file that can be converted with enc_aacplus?

avs2wav works

using it in RA4/5, xAnime.

maybe you are missing things (DLLs) for enc_aacPlus.

Yes, but the problem is that it won't accept the input file.
Though I am planning on wrapping the audio in an avi container and see if avs2wav can extract it then.

I don't suppose anyone knows how to convert audio streams to a wave stream that enc_aacplus can accept? It's verytouchy about its input file. I just cannot make it accept it.
Sometimes it does; sometimes it doesn't.
Maybe it has something to do with the bitrate? I'm not sure. But I need a good solution to convert the audio to wav, so I can input it to enc_aacPlus.

Load the WAV_EXT wav into Wavewizard and export it as WAV PCM.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough... I need to do in a programmatic way.

is your wav more than 2 channels?

There's a development forum ;)

No, just two. But the bitrate was low (56 kb/s).

Then go ahead and move it there, if it is appropriate. I don't feel like starting another thread.

Sounds like that's an mp3 encoded wav. You need uncompressed audio data so that enc_aacplus.exe can read it.

Considering it is just 2 channels, I would just use dBpowerAMP for the entire process. :sly:

This is, well, useless. Avs2wav does a good job MOST of the time.
