BeHappy - AviSynth based audio transcoding tool (UPD 19-07-2006)

[tebasuna51]

I make a new package of BeHappy with:

- New versions of AviSynth plugins decoders: LSMASHSource, ffms2 and Bass.
- New versions of some encoders and a new encoder: OptimFROG
- Also a pack of encoders with 64 bit version to replace if use OS 64 bits.
- Some changes in extension folder to acomodate new encoder versions or correct some bugs.

I put in main BaHappy folder OptimFROG.dll, because in plugins32 is usseless, and work here without need to copy to system folder.
Is a new version from recent encoder, the included with bass_ofr don't work with the new encoder.

I modify the Readme files. And I have somme suggestions about encoders:

Some of them are really old and usseless: enc_AudX_CLI and mp3sEncoder.

Others are deprecated and replaced with better options: dcaenc, Aften, Twolame and enc_aacPlus
Now ffmpeg is preferred for AC3 and MP2, and offer the new native AAC than claim be high quality (FAAC deprecated, fdkaac not present in Zeranoe builds but we have already fdkaac).
We have now 6 AAC encoders.

Also CUETools, a great tool to rip CD's, but wasted here to only encode to flac when we have already Flaac.

Maybe is time to clear a little BeHappy. At least I will do that with my working copy, and leave this package like a historic backup.

EDIT: I forget the Readme.txt and Changes.txt from main folder but without changes with the included in Codeplex.
Only ffms2 need AviSynth 2.6 but LSMASHSource work with 2.58 (and I suposse also with 2.57)

EDIT 2: Included Readme.txt and Changes.txt

[Sharc]

Thank you. Makes me feel happy

[GMJCZP]

Thank you tebasuna51.
IMHO mp3sencoder is still valid, it's a excelent encoder for mp3 cbr.

[tebasuna51]

I changed the packages in previous post:

- pack of encoders with 64 bit version
Deleted mpcdec.exe, a decoder not needed at all.
Created folder qaac (previously qaac was in encoder folder)

Don't need a new download only make the changes if already download previously.

- new package of BeHappy
Added Readme.txt and Changes.txt with some changes.
New clean BeHappy.State

I know BeHappy.State is created if not exist but the included put the logical order, for me, of DSP functions.
By default BeHappy put the DSP order of first image, but I like the order of second image:

- First downmix channels (mono, Downmix).
- After convert frequency or tempo (TimeStretch or SSRC).
- Now upmix (Duplicate or Upmix 5.1).
- Amplify or Normalize volume.
- At last change to desired bitdepth if required.

Changed files attached if already downloaded.

Of course each user can preserve any of them.

But I think mp3sencoder need a special player to play surround mp3's, is not standard at all.

And I don't found new versions, the link provided don't work.

[GMJCZP]

The package of siella BePack v3.1 (see in previous pages of this thread) is mp3sencoder.

[tebasuna51]

Yep, the mp3s(surround)encoder.exe 2008/05/19 is still in my package.

But need special player like http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...3_surround.htm (not currently available)
Or Foobar2000 plugin http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...3_surround.htm (not currently available)

The same for enc_AudX_CLI, you can always make a Downmix Dpl_II, encode like regular mp3 stereo, and play with hardware/software players with Dpl_II decoder than is more standard.

[GMJCZP]

In foobar2000 is present the last version of fhg aac (by case, 2015, in lamexp is already present too). In your package is the 2012 version of tmkk.

For now, I use mp3sencoder for mp3 cbr only.

thanks tebasuna51
I am not sure but i think new version of behappy need net frame 4 not 2

[tebasuna51]

I'm not change the BeHappy versión, is still the same than Sun Jun 21, 2015.
Only encoders, some plugins and .ext.

[GMJCZP]

At least in xp with avast, lately and sometimes exists incompatibilities with d_ConvertSample.ext. The error message starts:

"Can't load extensions from file C:\Program files\BeHappy\extensions\d_ConvertSample.ext
System.InvalidOperationException:There is an error in XML document (22, 4).---> System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Documents and Settings\...\Temp\da5qiums.dll' because it is being used by another process"

The solution is deactivate the AV or click in "Reintent" (equivalent to "Reintentar" in spanish).

Edit: the dll archive in Temp directory maybe be different.

[Emulgator]

da5qiums.dll would look suspicious to me, nothing that belongs inside BeHappy. An unwanted guest maybe ?

[tebasuna51]

Of course don't belong to BeHappy, but if "The solution is deactivate the AV" you have already the culprit.

[jones1913]

I can not imagine what dependency could be between the extension loading and some suspicious dlls in your Temp folder.

I suggest to clear your 'C:\Documents and Settings\...\Temp\' folder (manual or with CCleaner or so..).

[LigH]

I would guess that BeHappy wants to create a temporary file, which gets a directory content list to avoid filename conflicts, and the AV takes this opportunity to scan the folder for suspicious files in the same location as their list is collected. So, obviously, cleaning the %TEMP% folder regularly is not a bad idea...

[GMJCZP]

It's curious, BeHappy, d_ConvertSample and Temp folder?

[jones1913]

I have cloned BeHappy repository over to GitHub. Why? Because everybody is on GitHub.

Next week or so I'll look at tebasuna's changes.

@tebasuna: You can of course send your changes via pull request at github, or I can add you as collaborator (for direct access) if you want.
I aggree to clean extensions folder, we can move old exts. to 'BeHappy/extensions/deprecated/' and users can copy them back if they want to use them.

[tebasuna51]

Thanks jones1913, I aggree with your decission.

Don't need be addeed like collaborator, if I have some suggestion I can use GitHub and/or this thread.

[GMJCZP]

Thank you, Mr. Jones!
I have a question: How use BeHappy and fhgaac (or fdkaac) for encode the audio source ripped from a Bluray with MakeMKV?

[tebasuna51]

- [1] Load your mkv in BeHappy

- [1] Select LWLibavAudioSource and Configure to the Stream Index (-1 work for first audio, if not select the desired track, 2 for the second...)
All audio formats (except DTS-Express) from a BluRay can be decoded by LWLibavAudioSource.

- [3] If desired select any DSP (Downmix, TimeStretch, ...)

- [4] Select name, Encoder and Configure to the desired mode (CBR/VBR) and Bitrate/Quality.
