Just to clarify, 2pass is useless in cbr mode, no?

Currently - 2pass should be used with -br command line switch

If you used -br switch, you activated the ABR mode - which might have a miss in bit-rate within 5% range.
5 % deviation is acceptable to me. Thanks for the clarification!

I just did the soundtrack for American Beauty using -br 192000, -2pass, in 6 channel. The quality is SUPERB!

You not understand me, i doing test with new encoder via NeroWave Editor, but not with this cli. So this is same encoder from nero 7.2.03b but in exe file. So 5.1 encoding sounds good but not good as i like.

About CBR. I think at last public test @48 nero uses ABR vs CT CBR and prove that ABR is better than CBR, everyone know that ABR is much better in any case. So Nero now have real CBR then if we have a real winner of some test we need to compare codec with same settings. Nero CBR vs CT CBR

Once again...
This is NOT "the same encoder from nero 7.2.03b but in exe file".

Hi SMD,

Check out Belight next rev, Kurtnoise is stating (in a french forum) that he is working on it

And my thanks to the devs and NERO for this gift.

Finally, a great (official : legit) addition to the AAC (he) (multi channel) users community. Hope h/w vendors provide the fully supported(he/hev2, vbr, 6~ch) portable firmwares widely very soon (& cheap)!

I was able to integrate the cli encoder to foobar2k 0.83 for 1pass (vbr he) encoding and also have tested some 2 pass encoding with a foobar-decoded 6ch temp wav. Although it's somewhat earlier to talk about the encoding quality, I admit myself very much amused and encouraged by the quality service you provide in both ways. Thanks Nero...

By the way, maybe by the nature of the AAC codec, I found the AAC CBR bit rate fluctuates while decoding (with foobar faad & recent ffdshow with faad2 decoder) unlike other codecs, which was why I thought they were ABR or VBR before. Both CT & Nero version shows the fluctuations in CBR decodings. Any clarifications would be welcomed.

And while this version seems to support 4 bitrate modes : CBR(bitrate), VBR(quality/bitrate) and VBR(bitrate) 2pass with optional average segment period adjustment, I wonder if the last mode is anyhow related to the ABR or if the ABR mode is actually not released yet. Thanks again Ivan.

[edit] mistyping : CBR(quality/bitrate)->CBR(bitrate)

@Ivan Dimkovic

My compliments to both you and NERO ;>}

Is v.050106 the version that's been adjusted to deal properly with AMD systems?

Negative, he said he hopes to get the fixed version uploaded tomorrow. BTW, my understanding is that it isn't an AMD problem, it's an SSE2 (or lack thereof, actually) problem. It affects PIII's too, but not AMD's which do have SSE2 support (like Athlon64's).

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that - three cheers and everything! ^_^

A full-blown CLI encoder. This makes things so much easier. Man... Thanks!

No special integration is required with eac. Just select command line encoder, pick nero's encoder, and use -if %s -of %d as parameters.

Thanx a lot!!!
Still waiting for AMD XP fixed encoder (maybe you can temporaly upload it @ mytempdir.com or rapidshare.de ?)
Now some technical questions:
  • How does You detect source length ? Does You use appropriate field from WAV header structure or just read source until EOF? If You are using field from WAV header it means there are possible problems with long streams (WAV field is 32bit only ) Ups, there are ignorelength option, sorry
  • Is it possible to make special 2-pass mode for STDIN? In this case caller must provide double-length stream as source (repeat original source twice) and provide samplecount in original via special command-line parameter
  • Any chance to be able encode raw pcm ( headerless wav)? In this case caller must provide bitspersample/channelcount/samplerate and optional samplecount (for 2-pass from STDIN) via command-line.
  • Any chance to be able to encode to ADTS AAC (some muxers reque AAC without container).
BTW/Offtopic.
As I said before I'm even ready to paid for full Nero package to be able to encode without GUI (via command-line) so thanx You a lot for free solution
And I want same for AVC (I'm NOT asking for FREE solution, I'm ready to paid for full Nero package) but I want to be able to encode WITHOUT Your GUI too. Please, forward this statement to appropriate ppls from Nero team. I believe, development of the small cli wrapper around AVC DS encoding filter will be cost mostly nothing for You but will get great satisfaction for expirienced users!

BTW/Offtopic. I'm still banned @ HA forum - NOBODY contacted me Yet

It is possible to write BeHappy extension for this encoder. I will write it right after AMD XP fix will be avaluable.

What is the different, this encoder have only 2pass. Or if this completly new codec comparing to 7.2.0.3b then congratulate to Ivan for writing totality new codec from scratch in this short period about 3 days.

Your claim 'ABR is much better in any case' is dead flat wrong. There was a listening test, comparing Nero ABR, Nero CBR and Nero VBR here:

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/...opic=41191&hl=

And you can see that ABR is certainly not "much better in any case" but "just a little bit better" at least when it comes to 48 kbps bit rate.

May 1st version contains:

- Slight improvement in Mid/Side coding
- Fixed LFE channel handling for 5.1 material (important!)
- Fixed HE-AAC v2 bug (small quality improvement)

So, for 5.1 content it should be a bit better

ABR is always good than CBR, and i see that graphs milion times, You are use one sample to test differents, but different sample different case but always good for ABR ;

I am wroting this post from my friend. And i now tested this cli and 5.1 CBR comparing to 5.1 CT CBR - not sounds good, 2pass 5.1 comaring to 5.1 CT CBR - sounds good but i think to hear some artefatcs in center channel when come some speech.

If you saw the graphs million times, I am somehow surprised that you haven't seen the test conditions at least half million times
