Hi,

I have noticed that by default, when you open the BeSweet settings on the Audio tab, the Center and Surround downmix level is set to 0 db for 6ch audio input. However, the BeSweet log file for every encode I've done so far always says BSI for these options. Could it be that DVD2SVCD does not correctly pass these settings to BeSweet?

A typical BeSweet command line from D2S with Center/Surround downmix set to 0 db looks like


C:\Programme\DVD2SVCD\BeSweet\BeSweet.exe -core( -input
E:\DVD2SVCD\ResidentEvil\Audio\Extracted_audio_1.ac3 -output
E:\DVD2SVCD\RESIDE~1\Audio\Encoded_audio_1_FS1.mp2 -logfile
E:\DVD2SVCD\RESIDE~1\Audio\Encoded_audio_1_FS1.log ) -azid( -L -3db -
c normal -s surround -g max ) -shibatch( --rate 44100 ) -2lame( -e -
b 192 -m s )


but shouldn't it be


C:\Programme\DVD2SVCD\BeSweet\BeSweet.exe -core( -input
E:\DVD2SVCD\ResidentEvil\Audio\Extracted_audio_1.ac3 -output
E:\DVD2SVCD\RESIDE~1\Audio\Encoded_audio_1_FS1.mp2 -logfile
E:\DVD2SVCD\RESIDE~1\Audio\Encoded_audio_1_FS1.log ) -azid( -L -3db -
c normal -s surround -g max -C 0db -S 0db) -shibatch( --rate
44100 ) -2lame( -e -b 192 -m s )


?

Using latest build 1.1.0 build 1c

IIRC DSPGuru told me that besweet interpret 0db as BSI and since BSI is besweets default I simply don't pass 0db along.
