BeSplit questions & answers - Page 2

Sorry for my bad english. I report a bug.

When I use BeSplit for demux a 6 channel wav 16 bits (BlockAlign=12) into 6 mono wav the BlockAlign of this mono wav is set to 6, but it must be 2.

Documentation:

besplit -core( -input g:\6chanWav.wav -prefix g:\c -type wav -demux )

BeSplit v0.82 by DSPguru.
--------------------------

[00:00:00:000] +------- BeSplit -----

[00:00:20:000] +---------------------
[00:00:20:000] Operation Completed !
[00:00:00:000] <-- Process Duration

Relevant fields from 6chanWav.wav header:

AudioFormat : 1 (PCM)
NumChannels : 6
SampleRate : 48000
ByteRate : 576000 (SampleRate * NumChannels * BitsPerSample/8)
BlockAlign : 12 (NumChannels * BitsPerSample/8)
BitsPerSample: 16

Relevants fields from c01.wav (to 6) header:

AudioFormat : 1 =
NumChannels : 1 Ok
SampleRate : 48000 =
ByteRate : 96000 Ok
BlockAlign : 6 Error (NumChannels * BitsPerSample/8 = 2)
BitsPerSample: 16 =

The same result with BeSplit v0.9b6

This mono wav are opened ok by BeSweet, for instance:
BeSweet -core( -input LCRlrE.mux -output g:\output.ac3 ) -ac3enc( -6ch )
run ok.

But, when I try to open c01.wav with GoldWave it assume Raw data and ask me for NumChannels, SampleRate and BitsPerSample. After is opened ok but with a initial click (the corrupt header).

And opened with Sonic Foundry the sound is three (6/2) times short (6.7 seconds when the original is 20 sec.) and, of course, distorted.

EDIT: like is dificult to found the last BeSplit v0.9b8 than solve this bug I want to add here:

I want to explain when I need BeSplit, instead BeSweet, to demux a 6 channel wav into 6 mono wav.

Whe I decode, with faad, one aac (5.1) greater than 124 m. 16 sec. (48 KHz) I have a 6 channel wav greater than 4GB.
This file can't be read for BeSweet (Soft Encode, ...) for two reasons:
1) Faad put the AudioFormat to 0xFFFE, (must be 0x0001 PCM signed 16 bits)
2) There are an overflow in two fields of the wav header (ChunkSize y Subchunk2Size) because are four bytes long (0xFFFFFFFF -> 4 GB)

Only (afaik) BeSplit can demux this file into 6 mono wav with corrects ChunkSize y Subchunk2Size.
But this mono wav can't be open for others programs because:
1) The AudioFormat 0xFFFE. Is not a problem of BeSplit. Maybe a new feature?
2) The bug in BlockAlign

Notes:
- The bug is present always (see my previous post with 20 sec. and correct header)
- I don't know other program than faad to make a wav (PCM signed 16 bits) > 4 GB without error. Maybe float 32 bits but now the file are greater than 8 GB !

Great program. Have used it to split a number of MP3s. However, I just split one that sounded garbled on play back.

Looking at the log, I find this:

[00:00:00:114] Stream error : Sync found after 786 bytes
[00:00:00:190] Stream error : Sync found after 846 bytes
[00:00:00:371] Stream error : Sync found after 1676 bytes

It goes on for many, many lines. Do you what could cuase this error? Perhaps the original MP3 was screwed up in some way (it sounds fine).

Thanks!

This usually indicates the stream is damaged. You could try running it through besplit with the -fix option only. However this will remove the damaged sections, usually changing the length of the stream. Hopefully you still have the original source.

Halo, I have a wavdts file what is ripped from an dts 5.1 audio cd. This wavdts file i have to convert it to dts file, because then make it aac 5.1 with foobar 2000 special
my problem is wavdts->dts conversion. I used besplit, and the optained dts file when I play it, the play speed is aprox twice faster...why? The same simptoms if I play the dts file with foobar 2000 and with power dvd 6. With vlc media player doesn't work at all...
Here's my log file:

very wierd is that the conversion time was very very small as u can see in the log file.
Where is the mistake?
Thanks in advance!

Outstanding! 10x!

Hey , sorry for dumb question, but how do I cut large mp3 file by size. say first 10mb out of 200mb file?

Zerryk · 31st May 2006, 23:04

1) -addriff produces incorrect header. I tested it for some cbr mp3s 128k/48kHz. The data chunk has correct size (same as source mp3) but the main RIFF list has its size set smaller by 12 bytes. It can be easily seen in Vdub's hex editor in chunk tree.

2) -fix behaves strangely with vbr mp3s, it always throws a second frame from stream... (mp3 for test was encoded by lame --preset 128 source.wav)

3) incorrect (doubled) timing for 22 kHz/mono mp3s
sum.wav.mp3 is _10_ sec long

Code:

D:\work\split>BeSplit.exe -core( -input sum.wav.mp3 -prefix result -type mp3 -a -ending ) -split( 7 )

00:00:20 timecode is impossible :-) The result01.mp3 is 6 seconds long. It seems all timecodes are doubled.

4) some d/l links at http://besplit.doom9.org/ homepage not working: besliced 0.3, Chapter-X-tractor, BeSplit v0.9b7
