But now I get this:

"C:\Bin\BeLight\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "" -output "" -logfile "" ) -azid( -n1 -s stereo -c normal -L -3db ) -ota( -hybridgain -r 25000 23976 ) -ogg( -q 0.600 )

But you said it should be done via soundtouch, not ota..

[Kurtnoise]

yep, because there is no place in BeLight OTA's part for that that why it's included in soundtouch. The more important thing is the command line. ;-)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

This time the BeLight log file told me "Error occured" and "Check logfile for more info". Again only one Wave file was converted to Ogg. For some of the other files a .log file was created, but those log files were completely empty. Fore some reason with only three files on the list it works fine.

And the "List out of bounds" error is still there...

Ok.

By the way, in DSPGuru's guide ( http://dspguru.notrace.dk/soundtouch.html ) we also have a -r switch for Soundtouch and it also 'Convert frame rate without changing pitch' . What's the difference between -r in ota and -r in soundtouch then?

[Kurtnoise]

For wav files sountouch is used whereas others files this is ota command.

Basically, there is no difference...but ota doesn't support all values. Check the FAQ for further infos.

Can you try to fix that? It's really annoying...

[Kurtnoise]

Try the new one...

[LoRd_MuldeR]

sorry, but the problem still isn't fixed...

With all files on the list once again only one file was converted correctly. The other files were converted in parts (the first ~10 seconds of the song only), so those output files are of no use. And one files was not converted at all. This time BeLight did not write any errors to it's log... Still with three files on the list there's no error.

supports 5.1 multichannel again. i copied
the new enc_aacplus.dll to belight's directory and it seems to work.
i can't confirmed if the channels are mapped correctly but here's the log file"

as you can see, it still seems to work with dimzon bse_WinampAacPlusV2_6ch plugin.
kurtnoise, will belight just work as is with the new winamp plugin or does anything in belight need to be modified for it to fully work?
i want to backup some of my dvds but don't know if i should use the new winamp plugin or the old one included in your package.

thanks in advance

It works fine with the new dll but you can't access to the new things (mPEG2/MPEG4 bitstream and mp4 container...).

[iceborne]

but otherwise, do you think they're made advances in the codec in terms of audio quality since the one in your package?

and how can i access the "new things", through editing the besweet cli?

or do you think dimzon can supply a new bse_WinampAacPlusV2.dll?
i thought he was updating it based on

I'm still working on my bse_* plugins.
the latest news are:
no more separate bse_WinampAacPlusV2_6ch.dll for 5.1 encoding - merged into bse_WinampAacPlusV2.dll
bse_WinampAacPlusV2.dll now produce AAC with MPEG4 ADTS header (Nic's AACPatch merged into bse_WinampAacPlusV2.dll) by default
bse_enhAacPlusEnc3GP.dll renamed to bse_enhAacPlusEnc.dll
no more enhAacPlusEnc.exe - reference encoder code merged directly into bse_enhAacPlusEnc.dll
bse_enhAacPlusEnc.dll now with 5.1 encoding ( still produce unplayable 5.1 AAC yet)]

Kurtnoise. What you have done (BeLight) is great! (IMHO)

I have two questions:
1) Would you be interested in including Aud-X to BeLight?
I could provide you with DLLs for encoding and decoding.
Is there a special interface that woule be most useful for you?
2) I have implemented a pseudosurround (for our DirectShow filter),
but it might be useful for BeLight too... (so a user could convert
some stereophonic streams into 5.1 compatible streams. For example mp3
to AC3 5.1, etc).

Please let me know what do ya think.

I don't think so...but I might be wrong.

I hope....try to ping him.

[3dsnar]

OK, I must investigate what cli is..
Do you have some links or tips?

CLI means "Command Line Interface"
like x264.exe, lame.exe or oggenc2.exe

Usually you launch the encoder program from the GUI application and let it run in the background.
This way the user doesn't need to handle any command-line instructions...

[3dsnar]

OK. Thank you!

Can you make AviSynth plugin implementing such functionality?
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=48261

[3dsnar]

You mean pseudosurround module?
Yes, why not.
Do you have some specification of the interface of such a plugin?

[Kurtnoise]

@Iceborn: feel free to test it

@Lord_Mulder: all your files are the same settings (.ie same bitrate, same channels nb, same Sampling Rate, etc...) or not ?
