command-line frontend for WinAmp AAC+ v2 encoder (upd 2006-05-15)

[dimzon]

Winamp5.2 AAC+v2 encoder command-line frontend (new version)

• Support for AAC-LC encoding via CT encoder
• 6ch support
• support aacPlus HE-AAC High-Bitrate Encoder

Works fine with Winamp 5.2 Release Feb 23 2006 Full (Not Pro) - You does'nt need Winamp Pro in order to encode

new version contains some bugfix and new switches

********************************************************************
* AACPlus v2 Encoder (using Winamp 5.2 enc_aacplus.dll)
* Source timestamp Sun Feb 26 16:19:37 2006

*	tested on Winamp 5.2 Release Feb 23 2006 Full (Not Pro) version)
********************************************************************
Usage:
	enc_aacPlus <wav_file> <bitstream_file> [options]
Options:
	--cbr  <bitrate> - Set bitrate (CBR) to <bitrate> bps. Default is 48000
	--nops  - Disable Parametric Stereo
	--is  - Prefer Independed Stereo
	--dc  - Prefer Dual Channels
	--mpeg2aac  - Produce MPEG2 AAC isntead of MPEG4 AAC
	--lc  - Encode LC-AAC instead AAC+ (bitrate up to 320000)
	--high  - use aacPlusHigh Encoder (bitrate up to 256000, multichannel is not supported)
	--mp4box  - Wrap result into MPEG4 container (MP4BOX.EXE must be into executable directory)
	--rawpcm <rate> <cnt> <bp>	- Signal RAW PCM input intead of WAV
		<rate>	- Samplerate in Hz (32000, 44100 or 48000)
		<cnt>	- Channels count (1 or 2 or 6)
		<bp>	- Bit's per sample (8 or 16)
WARNING: this encoder can read and encode data from stdin:

dimzon,
this is fantastic.

thank you so much!

[Jalavera]

@dimzon: is 6 channel-wav supported as input like in Belight?

[Jalavera]

ok. Thanks. I understand.

[gURuBoOleZ]

That's great! I was hoping for it
I noticed a problem: the --mp4box command doesn't work on my side. MP4BOX is in the directory; I'm using foobar2000 0.83.
- %d --cbr 32000 --chmode 4 --mpeg4aac => OK
- %d --cbr 32000 --chmode 4 --mpeg4aac --mp4box => doesn't work

I changed the extension (mp4, m4a), but it didn't solve the problem. Any idea?

[gURuBoOleZ]

Perfect!
Thank you

I have found yet another bug - can't encode WAV with length >=7Gb
Unfortunally I can't solve this bug right now - my HDD is dead and I lost my source code
Shit Happens...

[gURuBoOleZ]

I sympathize!
(I lost three HDD in the past)

Yesterday,
All those backups seemed a waste of pay.
Now my database has gone away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
There's not half the files there used to be,
And there's a deadline hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly.

I pushed
something wrong
What it was, I could not say.
Now all my data's gone
Аnd I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.

Hi dimzon,
i hope your great work is not lost forever.

I was hoping to see your encoder with the addition of stdout support!

I plan to rewrite it from scratch (original source code is lost) in the future bcz I need 6ch support now

[hitbit]

Er... how can I enable 6ch mode?

- use supplied enc_aacplus.dll (newer one from latest winamp does'nt work with 6ch)
- use 6ch wav as input

[hitbit]

But it can OUTPUT 6ch AAC, or it only converts 6ch to Stereo?

Yes! If You supply 6ch WAV as input you will get 6ch AAC+

Hi Dimzon !

Thanks for you excellent work !

i have a question: what is the bitrate range allowed ?

i tryed several bitrate, but i think that bitrate range are only between 96000 and 128000

thanks for your tips !

96000-128000 for 6ch
16000-128000 for mono/stereo

[buzzqw]

YES ! true!

in my test i am using a 6ch wav !

My Kudos Dimzon !

P.S. While programming ... is possible to correct azid pipe ? (as written in readme.txt azid piping is broken...)

This new CLI produce ifferent filesize, even with the same enc_aacplus.dll

Anyhow, keep up the good spirit, love your app
Btw, if we don't need 6ch support, should we use the newest dll or stick to the old one? (why is it twice as big too)
Edit: Ah, I see, the dll was packed

did you shure you use same channel mode?
new version use PS for bitrates below 48kbps automatically
