AC3 > AAC using BeSWeet / aac plugin for WMP9

[hk]

Hi,
here comes probably two newbieish questions:

I tried to produce an mp4 (aac) from a ac3 audiofile using BeSWeet Gui v.0.7b4. i was wondering why I didn´t have o specify the location of aacenc. exe or beSplit etc. but anyway ... it didn´t work. Here´s the log file:

So what did I do wrong?

Second Question (even more newbie like): Is there a simple plugin for the windows media player for the aac files produced by BeSweet or AACmachine and where do I find it? Although I have the latest ffdshow filter installed, this doesn´t work. But if it would, I could control the aac files before muxing them with the mp4 video file.

Best regards and thanks to anybody offering some help!

Hi,

From your logfile it looks like you are attempting to use Nero's AAC encoder via besweet. You will need nero installed, and must copy the encoder .dll files to the besweet directory. Use the search for more information on this topic.

To play back AAC files under WMP or other directshow players, you'll first need a splitter/parser: For .mp4 files, 3ivx (http://www.3ivx.com) is recommended. For AAC files, use the AAC parser (http://www.rarewares.org/files/aac/aac_parser.zip) from rarewares. Then you'll also need an AAC decoding filter, such as CoreAAC (http://pessoal.onda.com.br/rjamorim/COREaacDS.zip).

Hi Kpex, thank ou for the reply. meanwhile, I´ve updated the version of besweet, and copied the following enc-files from the nero plugin directory to the besweet directory
-aacenc32.dll
-aac.dll
-nxaac.dll

However, it did not help. I got the following logfile:

BeSweet v1.5b29 by DSPguru.

So ... what´s wrong with the "bsn"config?
What files do I have to copy from nero to what directory of besweet?

I believe you also need the neroipp.dll file in the BeSweet directory.

That was it ... I realized the moment, I´ve read your explanations on AAC. Many thanks and greetings from Berlin to you and the great Lakes,

What's nxaac.dll for a file? Never saw this one.

Maybe the AAC plugin (http://neroplugins.cd-rw.org/) from Mausau...But this is nxmyaac.dll :)
