BeLight 0.22 beta 8 released

[CiNcH]

Ah, I see, so -0.2 in BeSweet equals to -2.0 in oggdropXP. Thanks.

Would be nice if you added it to BeLight, Kurt.

Done...



I'm thinking about something now : added a flag to prevent people to have libvorbis.dll updated if you want to use these negative values. What do think about that ? An other way could be to update directly my package with this dll...

I think there is no problem at all with libvorbis.dll versions. I think all version suport negative values.

CiNcH had problems (correct me if i'm wrong) because he/she used -2.0 instead of -0.2.

Anyway it could be a great idea if you (Kurt) has the latest versions of the libvorbis.dll in the download site.

Go on with the great Belight. Thanks a lot.

The problem is that DSPGuru doesn't provide libvorbis.dll in his BeSweet package. In addition, some people have OggDSF installed. Thus, BeSweet uses this filter for the Vorbis transcoding when there isn't libvorbis.dll into BeSweet folder. In this case AFAIK, we can't use negative values with OggDSF. That's why, all in all, I think the best thing for all will be to include directly libvorbis.dll in BeLight package.

OK. But remember that there are optimazied versions of libvorbis.dll for pentium4, AMD and of course the general ones.

Are you going to make different builds or just include the general (not optimazied) libvorbis.dll?

[Kurtnoise]

Yep...

There are lot of place in CC.org you know... So I can release different builds w/o problem.

[CiNcH]

You mean the lancer builds? I guess that those builds are just based on SSE which is also supported by AMD Athlon processors from XP onwards, probably SSE2 (don't think so), which means that those builds will work on AMD Athlon 64 and onwards.

But the optimized lancer builds (latest build based on Vorbis 1.1.1 + aoTuVb4) are indeed great. Almost doubled encoding speed...

Hi Kurt!

I tested the 0.22b5 version and found the same problem with main program window: it is stably shrinked in the right-bottom corner and cannot be streched by mouse. In attempt to stretch it the program window stretches only in its left -top directions...


All the same as it was with the version 0.22b4.
I am using Win XP Pro SP2, CPU - AMD Duron, nVidia card...

And it is still OK when I use 0.21 and it was OK when I used version 0.22b1 and b2. Can I get them?

[Kurtnoise]

Too bad for you...Did you use a large font with your PC (i.e 120 dpi) ? You can check this by a right click on your desktop then Properties --> Settings tab --> Advanced button.

Anyway, could you check with this version...Thanks.

I'm working on a german translation. In the next days I will finish it.
But please leave for the next version more place for the "terms" and buttons. Because in other languages the "terms" are longer usually.
For example:
Options = Einstellungen

hey, i have a question, for ac3 to aac encoding, can i use both pregain and normalize to 100%, or should just one of them be used? which is the optimized way for ac3 to aac encoding in belight, i mean which all options?

I know...I try to make my best with terms and buttons but this is the main problem with translation.

If you want some help, I found in my old HD an old german translation created by Brother John. I can post it...

Just one of them...is enough. By default, it's PreGain in BeLight.

kurt, dude, one more thing, should i use 44100 khz or 48000 khz for encoding ac3 to aac in belight?

[Kurtnoise]

It depends of your input file...but the aac compressor from Nero try to find the best and the optimized setting for you. So, let's the Sampling-Rate disabled....at least if you haven't some restrictions for your following tasks.

Hi, Kurt!

You are genius! You have guessed absolutely right! I did had 120dpi fonts, because Normal fonts were a little bit small for my LCD monitor. When I had changed settings of video card to Normal, both versions of your program - the one you asked me to test and that one I downloaded before - both of them started to work without any shrinkage of windows.

Thank you very much for your help!

However, I think that shrinkage evidences of some gaps in your program, because neither version 0.21 nor other used programs do not depend on settings of video card. It would be great if this problem could be solved in the final version, that I await with impatience!

All the best for you
And good luck!

I think this tidbit should be mentioned on your first post. It took me awhile to read through this big thread and it was post #173.

Also, I find myself manually opening and reading the log if any errors occur. Request for a view log function and option to save?

@Kurtnoise13

I forgot one more request. It's fine that you are using one thread for new BeLight announcements and discussions, but I would wish that there was some bookmarking table of contents in the first post to jump to versions when they have been released.

e.g.
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=90960
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=92481

In case, someone might want to easily peruse through the archives.

Well...you're right. I need to update my first post with some clues. btw, concerning this :

if your VOB contains only one audio stream and you have VOBInput.dll in BeLight folder, all should work fine by choosing "All Files" from the input list normally...

It's not neccessary anymore because there is VOB Files in drop menu List Entry now.

The logfile is saved in your input folder....if you have checked "output log" of course in the settings.
