Mono Encoding - Missing!?

[snake-boy]

Hi all,

Trying to encode a mono .wav file to .mp3, using:

"e:\audio\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "f:\temp\audio.wav" -output "f:\temp\audio.mp3" ) -ota( -G max ) -lame( --scale 1 -p --alt-preset 160 ) -profile( ~~~~~ Default Profile ~~~~~ )

I get this error:

Error 72: In order to encode a Mono inputfile, download Mono2Stereo Plugin : http://DSPguru.doom9.org/effects.html

But this page doesn't seems to exist! (404 error).

Could anyone point me to an alternate location for this plugin..?

thanks

I assumed as much, but that still doesn't answer my question:

>>"Could anyone point me to an alternate location for this plugin..?"

Or perhaps you could estimate when you expect your web page to be functional again?

Many thanks!!

Now if I could just figure how to use it within this command: :)

"e:\audio\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "f:\temp\audio.wav" -output "f:\temp\audio.mp3" ) -ota( -G max ) -lame( --scale 1 -p --alt-preset 160 ) -profile( ~~~~~ Default Profile ~~~~~ )"

Do I add the -plugin at the end?

yea.. add it at the end :)

[snake-boy]

Well, I added it to the end, but it isn't happy...

What's wrong with the syntax?


E:\audio\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "f:\temp\audio.wav" -output "f:\temp\audio.mp3" ) -ota( -G max ) -lame( --scale 1 -p --alt-preset 160 ) -profile( ~~~~~ Default Profile ~~~~~ ) -plugin( name BS_M2S.dll -func Simple )
Error 72: In order to encode a Mono inputfile, download Mono2Stereo Plugin : http://DSPguru.doom9.org/effects.html

(help) ;) Thanks!

do you have BS_M2S.dll(not the plugin folder) in E:\audio\ ? it needs to be in the same folder as BeSweet.

[snake-boy]

yep, besweet.exe and BS_M2S.dll are in the same folder. (E:\audio)

Am I just really stupid? I cannot see why this isn't working?


I even tried pointing directly at the BS_M2S.dll like this:

E:\audio\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "f:\temp\audio.wav" -output "f:\temp\audio.mp3" ) -ota( -G max ) -lame( --scale 1 -p --alt-preset 160 ) -profile( ~~~~~ Default Profile ~~~~~ ) -plugin( name e:\audio\BS_M2S.dll -func Simple )

But still no joy... Jeez, how hard can it be to just encode a damn 500meg mono .wav file to mp3..? :-(

-name BS_M2S.dll

[snake-boy]

Thanks, but that didn't seem to help, I just don't get it. This is what I am using:

-----------------
E:\audio\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "f:\temp\audio.wav" -output "f:\temp\audio.mp3" ) -ota( -G max ) -lame( --scale 1 -p --alt-preset 160 ) -profile( ~~~~~ Default Profile ~~~~~ ) -plugin( -name BS_M2S.dll -func Simple )
-----------------

And this is what it tells me:

-----------------
Error 72: In order to encode a Mono inputfile, download Mono2Stereo Plugin :http://DSPguru.doom9.org/effects.html

Quiting...
-----------------

And BeSweet.exe as well as BS_M2S.dll are in the same folder. (E:\audio\)


What am I missing here? Why doesn't it see the plugin?

what can i say - a very "good" bug report.
no search on the forum before posting..
partial logfile which forces me to assume you're using an old BeSweet version...
and so on..

I had the same problem with V1.3
V1.4RC7 works though.

[DSPguru]

that's why i assumed snake-boy is using an old version.. ;)

[snake-boy]

Thanks for all the help guys! I was recently forced to do a format and reinstall (don't even get me started on that story..) :)

I had to re-d/l and setup eveything from scratch, and now (mysteriously) everything works. I was probably missing something really obvious, but it's working now.

Just wanted to let y'all know :)

THANKS!
