BeLight 0.22 beta 9 is out

Hi guys,

Actually, I'm developping a new Graphical User Interface for BeSweet, one of the best audio tools for transcoding. Why a new one ? Coz the official from DaniDin seems to be out dated now (AAC support by example) and there are some bugs (Dialog Normalisation Reduction...). In addition, some newbies can be troubled by the interface...That's why I created BeLight.

New thread for BeLight can be found here




Features :
- AC3, WAV, OGG, MP2, MP3, AVI, VOB, LST & MUX in input.
- AAC/MP4 (3GP Reference, Faac, Nero Digital and WinAmp encoders), AC3, MP2 (tooLame or MP2Enc), MP3 (Lame), VORBIS, WAV and AIFF in ouput.
- Most of BeSweet functions (Gain, SSRC, Boost, Partial Encoding, Change Frame Rate, Soundtouch...)
- MultiLanguages Support (German, Spanish, French, English, Polish, Russian, Portuguese, Slovenian, Hungarian, Serbian, Italian, Japanese, Greek, Nederlands...more are welcome )
- Delay Detection for input files.
- Some AAC/AC3/MP2/MP3/VORBIS/WAV Presets.
- Mux File Wizard (in version 0.22)
- File List Creator (in version 0.22)


Notes :
- For the moment, BeLight 0.22 branches doesn't support AVI, VOB Files as input files. If you want to use these formats, I'd suggest you to try BeLight 0.21 instead.
- For AVI and VOB as input files you need VOBinput.dll.
- Tu use negative q values for Vorbis Transcoding, libvorbis.dll is needed.
- If CoreCodec.org is down, you can grab the last versions here.
- There are 3 packages now at CoreCodec.org (Normal, Lancer and P4). The main difference between these 3 builds comes from libvorbis. The Normal version corresponds to normal libvorbis.dll, Lancer bundle is optimized for speed without loose quality and P4 version refers to libvorbis.dll optimized for Pentium4 core. In addition, all versions use AoTuv enhancements.

How to use it :
First, grab the last BeSweet beta release in DSPGuru web Site.Second, put BeLight in the same folder as BeSweet and load it.
Or you can install directly some BeLight package available in CoreCodec.org.

How to report some bugs:
Try to describe your bugs with some precision. First, post your complete logfile (which is in your input folder). And eventually the BeLight messages errors.


On my To Do List :
- Job List Support.
- BeSplit functions.
- UpMix functions.


Links to access directly in the thread :
  1. BeLight 0.22



  2. BeLight 0.21




Feedback and/or suggestions are welcome.

My bad...This is a bug with Job List tab. I'll correct it. For the moment, don't push the Job List tab when you want to transcode. Stay in Output Audio Format tab.

Ok...I see.

And yes, I'll add some presets. It's in my todo list now.



Thanks for your support.

@Kurtnoise13

If you already didn't add this, please consider disallowing the non-working resampling and changing frame rate (using BeSweet's internal routine) at the same time - or changing it so that SoundTouch is used, I think that works with simultaneous resampling.

@Jorel : did you use a firewall ?? coz all works fine here... Try it again maybe the server has some problems sometimes.


@Boulder : BeLight use -soundtouch routine for the Changing Frame Rate. I tested quickly resampling + changing frame rate and all seems to be ok...

It's not necessary... BeSweet has already AVI/VOB support as input files. Yes, one more thing on my todo list.


I'll post a new release tonight.

I have a question concerning AAC settings:

Is it possible to add the profiles (first line) of the orginal Nero encoder settings. see here what I mean

It's helpful because the profiles show an overview of all seetings:
VBR/CBR
kbps range
VBR modes
AAC profiles

Great work, Kurt!

BeLight definitely has a much easier to understand interface than BeSweetGUI.
And not only that: Even this first release does everything I'll ever need of BeSweet's features.

Only thing I'm missing at the moment is a show/copy command line function. I've already seen the checkbox in advanced options though, so I won't push you.

I might be just dumb but how do I get the conversion process to start? There's no start button. I put BeLight.exe in the same folder as BeSweet.exe and BeSweetGUI.exe. I clicked to add to job list but nothing happened.

Edit:
Nevermind! Found it at the very bottom. It was hidden due to my 800x600 resolution.
