Tranzcode 0.40 beta
Quote:
I guess it´s worth to take a look at it - it´s a commandline tool, so easy to add! download: you will find it on needfulthings (including latest TranzGUI v1.4 by Kurtnoise13) and on Austin Forgotten´s Homepage (source code also avaible)

Thanks for introducing 'tranzcode' to the forum daphy, I'm a little shy to being a new member, hope you find it useful.

I thought I mention my tool at the "needfull things" site, since it's been available for a week already, where some find it somewhat useful . So now that it will get more exposure here on Doom, I guess I'll be under the gun/microscope/against the ropes. I've been unemployed for several years, really needing to find employment, always putting it off by my interests (i.e. this project of late), but eventually I won't be able to spend as much time as I'd like to on it.. just letting you know ahead of time. But I suppose once I release my <cough> source code, others with better skills than I can really improve on it a lot. I suppose writing in the 1st place, has forced me to learn new things in programming, with some frustration I might add (no pain no gain as they say). I don't know a whole lot about the dts format except what I've read in some of the documents available. All of the dts decoding credit goes to Gildas Bazin in his fine work as we all know. All I did was somehow get the LFE output to work since dtsdec.exe for some odd reason would not output it, also it writes directly to 32 bit float mono wavs instead of a multichennel wav. There are several minor bugs in the current ver, you may notice that the display will show #bits will be off, on the source file attributes, just ignore that for now. Also for the stereo downmix, it looks like it needs some work, I just added a user patch fix to allow gain adjustment because I noticed some stereo output to be clipped a lot while others were fine. Now that "tranzcode" may get more exposure here, I would like to be able to test other AMODE's [other than AMODE 9 (5.1)]. I could use some small dts test files which are encode and appear as 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.1, and 5.0. Just so you understand, SureCode ver most ppl use will always encode to AMODE 9 (5.1) even though you may use for example a 'blank' LFE or Center channel. I have tested dts AMODE 1.0 which works fine. To wrap it up for now, I can say I won't be adding normalization, or channel gain adjustments. I'd would however like to add the option to resample the output monos (44.1kHz <--> 48kHz), but since the files are 32 bit I was thinking to use Voxengo's R8B.dll (R8Brain), since I don't think Shibatch can do 32 bit wavs, which will slow down the tranzcoding process. I've been thinking to go the multithread route where transcoding can still occur, writing to disk, while I resample blocks to build the final output wavs. Still need to write/test that. I may eventually have a windows gui interface for it. - Austin Forgotten |

Hi Austin,
nice to see you here on doom9 doom9 is not the only place I introduced your new tool: Interesting Question from LigH (doom9 German) Does Tranzcode support ProLogic downmixing? I would like to add on this question: if yes, is it also intended to support the other ProLogic formats like II and IIx via downmix? Edit: check PM plz

There is a newer version (v0.30) posted, and the source code is also available. It's not pretty but it works.
Not really much added than fixing bugs, most notable is the fact you can use path names with the filename to access files on media, not sure about network drive (should be ok though). Read the readme file to see what's new with this ver. You can get it here: http://tranzcode.byethost22.com Enjoy. -Austin F |

Thanks for your work Austin. I tried the last release with some dts files and it works great.
I've a request: could you add a pipeencoding option for the output ? I don't know if it's doable but it will be great. And if you have much more freetime, could you try to make a plugin for BeSweet ?... |

What encoding are you thinking of? DTS via SurCode? Is there some documentation available on how to write a plugin for BeSweet? I suppose I could write one for dts to wav decode, or somone else could since the source is available. I've never written a plug before. I've also have a request of my own.. .. I could use an API (guide on using function procedures/parameters to be passes/received etc.) for the azid v1.9 dll, or is this not available - only to select individuals? - Austin F Last edited by Austin Forgotten; 12th May 2005 at 22:59. |

very nice work
im also agree with kurtnoise a besweet plugin could be really marvelous . you can find plugin source code at the dspguru siteweb (http://dspguru.doom9.net) hope this can help keep up the good work ++

Yes, the pipe encoding option is exactly what you have described. It will be good...at least for me.

I also tried to reach Austin - maybe he´s on holidays
Kurtnoise13 has uploaded a GUI for tranzcode, I will publish it later this afternoon on needfulthings Edit: done

Hello,
The programming portion of my brain has been offline the past few weeks, maybe since I was discouraged about a few things and I had to attend to other matters. I will resume work on Tranzcode when I get it the right frame of mind again, sorry to disappoint (It's not that I don't want to help) :-) @ zombi55, If you would like a 5.1 wav you can do this with DTSDec.exe using anyone of the following command lines (I was not really thinking to add this before since DTSDec can accomplish this): dtsdec -o wavall > 6in1output.wav my5.1.wav or dtsdec -o wavall > 6in1output.dts my5.1.wav or dtsdec -o wav6 > 6in1output.wav my5.1.wav or dtsdec -o wavall mydts.wav > my5.1.wav or dtsdec -o wav6 mydts.wav > my5.1.wav I suppose I could add that, but the main reason I added the dts decoding to Tranzcode was to eliminate the need to decode 1st too a 5.1 wav then split into monos which takes longer and uses more disk space. My main interest lies in producing/editing surround music: DTS, AC3 & DVD-A music. This is why I haven't really paid much attention to stereo, mp3 or 5.1 wavs. @ daphy No, not on vacation although it seems like I've been on a long trip to no where. Currently I have some personal crisis to attend to which will consume more of my time, also I was getting back to music side of things of late, instead of programming. As for PM's, I always forget to login to the forum, only to read the messages like I did before becoming a member, so I hadn't seen anyone's PM's, my bad. @ Kurtnoise13 Nice work on the Tranzcode GUI, sorry I didn't add the stdout option for pipeencoding the stereo out in time for your GUI, I guess you waited long enough for me to add that :-). At 1st I wasn't sure how I could have done this for 6 mono wavs, but the single stereo output would not be much effort to add a switch to do this. As for Mr Midas, author of azid, I did send an email already before your reply but it bounced back as not a valid email address as such. I suppose I can try again. Apparently several years ago there was an "Azid Developer Kit 1.8" (azid-dll-1.8.zip) available on the Doom forum which I missed out on, and is not available anymore. If anyone still has, I would really appreciate a copy of it as it would help me add quicker AC3 decoding and other features to my program. I'm mainly interested in my programm and adding more features to it, than to write a BeSweet plugin, since my mind is focused on other features than to rewrite existing code to work with another program. I released the source code (which I hope someone can read :-) ), I know may write oddly as I don't know how to do some things better at this time, but someone (a programmer who can understand C) who has spare time, should be able to write a BeSweet plug more easily than I. @ johnman I have read your PM, and have downloaded your wavwizard program.I haven't had time to test it however. When I get a chance I will run through some tests and get back to you. :-) -AF |

Thanks you so much Austin for you really good works.
The reason why I asked you that it is precisely because DTSdec works only when it decodes stereo (of course, for me). In 5.1, it gives me one a unusable file. I believe besides that Kurtnoise has the same problem (see quote). However, with transzcode I obtain 6 mono wavs in good condition. Then, I wondered whether Austin could make me a line of order to leave only one wav 5.1. Quote:

Yes, I just fired off another email to Midas: midas@egon.gyaloglo.hu
Right away I got: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender "Mail Delivery System" <MAILER-DAEMON@via.mailbox.hu> Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; service unavailable. Command output: Store: Quota exceeded Oh well so much for the Midas touch :-) |

Tranzcode uses the same samples as DTSDec only it also contains the LFE data as output, so if the dts source has clipped output from the "unusable" 5.1 wav, so would the mono wavs of Tranzcode output. The stereo output can have clipped output from some dts source files from DTSDec which is why I added the gain adjust using @__% for stereo output allowing you to raise/lower the gain by % factor, but this has nothing to do with the mono wav or 5.1 wav output, which should not be clipped unless the source files used to encode to DTS were to begin with. When I get around to it I will redo the stereo output to avoid the clipping. |
