BeLight 0.22 beta 8 released

[LigH]

Dear kurtnoise,

would it be very hard for you to add another tab, which guides the user to create a *.mux file?

My "dream" would be some kind of channel figure (the square with the boxes), and the boxes are hollow at first, react on mouse clicks (maybe change the mouse pointer to the hand pointer there), allow to open a mono WAV file per channel on click, fill the box then, and finally allow to export the *.mux file for creating 5.1 audio files when all boxes have assigned their channel wave files.

[Kurtnoise]

hi,

Can you show me what you want with a picture ?

I'm working with a CheckListBox now to store the input files. Maybe with the multiple selection and right click, we could make something...

I remember that daphy asked me the same thing...

[LigH]

Better I show you the tool I just stippled together in a hurry.

Usage:

- Click on all the 6 channel boxes and select each wave file.
- Click on "Save as:" and enter the MUX file name.
- This enables the OK button: Click, the mux file is written, the wizard closes.

NOTE: It is compressed with UPX 1.93 beta with "--brute" option. It might not run everywhere - if not, try to decompress.

Ok...It sounds really good. I can try to add this...but we must think about the different channels order for the output formats. AC3/Vorbis have the same order but for AAC it's completely different. BTW, I can manage something for sure.

Thanks for the tip.

[LigH]

Different channel orders -- well; in my opinion, BeSweet shall request always the same standardised channel order from its source (no matter if from a *.mux file, or from the decoder). If necessary, it shall remap the channels internally if a decoder DLL does not serve the channels in expected order. So it can ensure that after decoding or importing, channels are always present in a known order. And if an encoder DLL expects them in a different order, it shall remap them on-the-fly while delivering them.

But expecting different channel orders for different encoders in the *.mux file, is (in my oh-so-humble opinion) not quite a wise thing.

[Kurtnoise]

In my opinion, we must specify the different channels order under BeSweet because the decoders themselves can't remap these channels correctly. But maybe I'm wrong....


BTW, what do you think about that :

Looks great!

@ Kurtnoise13:

As long as BeSweet won't remap channels depending on the encoder, you probably have to.

Hi,

Finally I made a first alpha 0.22 release.

What's new ?

* Drag & Drop support.
* Batch Mode.
* Append output log file option.
* BeSweet mux file Wizard (thanks to LigH for the tip).
* Preview & Edit BeSweet Command Line are 2 options independant now.
* Some improvements concerning the design.
* Bugs fixed for AAC Presets.
* Others some bugs corrected.


Some notes :
- This is an alpha version. So, there are some things not implemented. That's why, only ac3 input files work at the moment. If all it's ok and if you like it, I'll add the others input formats supported by BeSweet.
- The job list isn't finalize that's why this option is disabled. I need to fix some final bugs to have this feature. But the batch mode works fine...I hope.


BTW, thanks for your support and patience.

Looks impressive! Thanks!


"Command line edition" to edit CL looks really great!

Btw.
If "View BeSweet commandline" is enabled, it doesn't show the whole commandline, only what is written in the one line at the bootom.

It would be nice if the whole Commandline is watchable to see the changes on the fly after changing some settings.

...and I like the "Info" under Vorbis...really newbie friendly.

Just put your mouse on the command line... The whole command appears into the hint. Maybe I need to tune this part.

On Windows 2000 SP4 German, the mux file wizard looks to me, that the channel figure square is completely filled in black; instead, it rather shall be a hollow square.

First of all CONGRATULATIONS and thank you very much for this great GUI.

A suggestion: Could you make the "command line edition" window resizeable.

See you.

Ahh,I see...cool! Thanks for the hint.

Screenshoot please... I'm running on winXP.

[LigH]

Can you see the big black square?

<= here shall appear an inline image?!

[Kurtnoise]

ok... I'll try to change that.

[Kurtnoise]

A new alpha...

Changelog:

* The window of "Edit BeSweet Command Line" option is resizable now.
* Bug fix for the shape concerning the Mux file Wizard.
* Bug fix regarding the Cancel button during the process.
* Added some goodies (icons for the Main Menu).

[LigH]

Figure box looks well now.

But the priority classes are not ordered well ("Real" between "Normal" and "High"?!): I'd recommend

- Real
- High
- Normal
- Idle
