Sure you use Belight 0.21?
I just did a quick test. Took a mp3 (44100)and encoded it with all available encoders. Everything worked like a charme. Same on an AC3 file. All switches on aac (mp4)tab are working for me. Maybe there is something messed up on your side. All correct *.dll's and *.exe's in your Besweet/BeLight folder? Playback Decoders are working? Is there any warning message or just nothing's happening.
Too little information for help....

Sorry, my fault there. I used BeLight with the BeSweet version that came with the latest GordianKnot package. I then used it with the latest BeSweet from Doom9 and it worked great. Easily my standard AAC encoder from now on.

Elias · 17th February 2005, 22:41

Now Belight is AWESOME, but it's still somewhat buggy. For instance, when I choose AAC bitrate of 224 kbit CBR, the output becomes 192 kbit CBR. And when I choose 256 kbit CBR... well, it doesn't even work in Winamp anymore.

i have one weird problem
when i use the -belight+besweet combo- for ac3 to mp3 conversion i get 100%cpu overload
for the same process if i use the -gknot add audio job- with the advamced audio presettings i get no cpu overload
what causes it?

Seriously, BeLight is very good, but still a new software. It has lots of bugs. But I'm going for it anyway! Keep up the good work fellas.

filewalker · 17th February 2005, 23:27

if BeSweet is running...it'll mostly reach 100% CPU load during encoding....independently if you use BeSweet from Gknot or use BeSweetGUI or Belight.

if you want to be sure which settings are chosen from the Belight's interface, you only have to enable "View & edit BeSweet Commandline". Now you can check if every chosen setting is set correctly...without checking the comandline you have to believe that Belight is bugfree...and you have no possibilty to have control.

yeah filewalker is right concerning the cpu overload.

BTW, yes BeLight has several bugs but I try to make my best.

Like I said before, I'm not an expert in development. So, wait & see.

We're not complaining, just reporting so that you can improve this awesome GUI

I just tested it: Both combos,Belight/Besweet and GKnot/Besweet are reaching 100% CPU load. And what does this mean "CPU overload"?
I'm a speed freak, if it was'nt 100%, I would force it to....

This is pretty normal behaviour for an encoder.

Hi,

I've used BeLight quite a few times and I think it's a great app, but I have one problem (for now): tonight I decided to try out framerate conversion for the first time while encoding to MP3 from AC3. It was a minute but still noticeable change from 24.975 fps to 25 fps, which should produce about 5 seconds of difference in my test file. I entered the appropriate SoundTouch settings, but after the encoding was done, it turned out the duration of the file didn't change at all. Then I ran BeSweet GUI and noticed it uses OTA for framerate conversion. I set up the conversion, and the file turned out 5 seconds shorter, as expected.
I don't know if this is a bug report or a feature request, but maybe you should look into this, Kurtnoise.

Kurtnoise · 19th February 2005, 10:35

BeSweetGUI OTA settings don't use soundtouch commands AFAIK...but I'll look into BeLight to see what's happen exactly.

with gknot the encoding doesnt use all the cpu resources
just a 15% of the cpu without any speed loss in the fast encoding process
this is a good thing u know

with belight/besweet combo all the cpu resources are used 100% but the speed of the process is anyway fast already
this is a bad thing-i cant use other applications while i encode with belight

anyway i am just curious what difference in the settings causes this behaviour

I don't get it. Are you using the unstable version? It works fine for me to use other applications. I even encode in VirtualDub while encoding an audio from the BeLight GUI.

My point exactly.

For some reason SoundTouch doesn't work in this respect, while OTA does.

i use latest versions of belight and besweet
i encode wav to mp3 with belight's default settings
the cpu gets 100% used-the encoding speed is fast
with gknot(it uses latest besweet) i dont have this cpu overload
i encode wav to mp3 with the default advanced settigns of gk
the cpu gets 15% used-the encoding speed is fast

i use the latetest version of lame codec btw

its a mystery isnt it?

Sakuya · 22nd February 2005, 08:45

I'm getting the same problem again. I cannot find the start button. I have moved my Windows toolbar to the left and now I see the entire BeLight GUI but there's no start button.

Here's a screenshot.

Maybe it comes from the fact that I compress the executable file. upx is known to overload the cpu in memory...But on my PC, if I compress or not, I haven't this problem.

@Sakuya : This problem occurs when we have a low resolution. Try the latest beta.

daphy · 22nd February 2005, 16:15

0.21 beta 3 is the latest beta, or is there something new I missed while skiing in Switzerland

Sakuya · 23rd February 2005, 03:14

I changed my screen resolution to 1024x768 and it worked. I used another thread as a guide and Kurtnoise said to use BeLight:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=89722

I was originally asking help in this post about why BeLight wasn't working.I found a solution not using BeLight but am having some small problems. Since I can't delete this post, I thought I should just post a redirect message in its place. I hope that's allowed?
