Simple NeroAACEnc GUI - SNG 1.3

imcold · 9th May 2006, 16:55

SNG is a basic front-end for the command-line Nero AAC encoder.

Notes:
- the encoder doesn't accept certain combinations of AAC profile and quality/bitrate options.
You shouldn't force profiles anyways - the encoder can automatically choose the right profile.
- for BePipe input you need BePipe.exe in sng's directory and AviSynth

Download:
SNG binaries & sources

Changes:
1.3
misc. bugfixes

I liked your work very much, it looks very easy to use, but unfortunatelly it does not work... at least in my computer!

I noticed, in the command line, that you did not put the "" between:

In your programm looks like that:
D:\Nero\win32\neroAacEnc.exe -cbr 160000 -if D:\Work\The Swan.wav -of "D:\Work\The Swan.mp4"

And in my computer works only like that:
"D:\Nero\win32\neroAacEnc.exe" -cbr 160000 -if "D:\Work\The Swan.wav" -of "D:\Work\The Swan.mp4"

Is that a mistake?
Greetings!

sounds like a small and easy fixable bug

@imcold: if you dont mind sharing the sources i could add transparent Avisynth input for audio formats other than wav...

imcold · 10th May 2006, 02:34

hmm, it should work without quotes, if there is no space in full filename... obviously it does not work everywhere

going to fix it.

no problem sharing the source, just need to remove non-english comments

It's written in Freepascal using Lazarus IDE (something like Delphi, but open-source

), hope that won't be a problem. I will upload it in short time.
btw.: could using upx executable packer lead to any problems?

castellanos · 10th May 2006, 06:55

Thanks imcold, It works now!

A small thing:
It would be nice if you can select the destination of the converted file, or at least, same direrctory as the source.
Veri nice GUI though!

ehm, i should spend some time to re-learn pascal or delphi... if i have the time i'll do it.
however upx is safe

the two methods that come to my mind are easy though.
1) using avs2wav or bepipe and piping its output to the encoder (but i absolutely dont know how piping works on pascal/delphi)
2) using avs2wav to create a temp file and feed it to the encoder

This GUI use command-line, so with BePipe.exe and neroAacEnc.exe the command line is "BePipe --script "Import(^file.avs^)" | neroAacEnc.exe -ignorelength -q 0.25 -if - -of Nero_he_q0.25.mp4" for example, I think it's not necessary to code anything about piping in Pascal, the GUI just create the command-line and launch it.

im not sure the "|" works coz cmd.exe (or command.com) is not invoked.

It's invoked...

Sharktooth · 10th May 2006, 14:04

well... so it's easier than i thought.
something like this: "bepipe.exe" --script "DirectShowSource(^filename.ext^)" | "neroAacEnc.exe" ....
should work

imcold · 10th May 2006, 15:17

thanks for being interested in this little tool

I still have some free time today, so I'm going to add multiple file input now and look @ pipes tomorrow - I never used them. How about piping output from command line back to my application - any easy way to do that?

deets · 10th May 2006, 19:05

this would be very cool for us psp owners who want a free and simple way to encode audio for their video

ill give it a run and then add a page on my site!

ChaosKing · 10th May 2006, 20:02

There´s a small "Bug"

guada 2 · 10th May 2006, 21:25

@ChaosKing
look at this:

imcold say:

-2pass encoding disabled when mode: VBR

Bye

ChaosKing · 10th May 2006, 22:19

Ok, then its a cosmetic bug

dohcmark8 · 10th May 2006, 22:44

Nice work.

Now if we could just have a progress bar...

Sharktooth · 11th May 2006, 02:33

uhm... as i suspected piping thru "|" doesnt work...
the proof is here: http://www.webalice.it/f.corriga/sng/sng_0.3b_src.7z
(needs bepipe.exe in the same dir as sng.exe. the code contains also the -2pass fix and some aesthetic fixes as well).
any idea is welcome but i think an intermediate file is needed (using avs2wav) since i dont know how piping works in pascal...

It would be nice if the gui could allow user to set process priority. And one more hint, 96kbps isnt equal 96000bps its 98304

.

Ivan Dimkovic · 11th May 2006, 11:05

96 kbps = 96000 bits/second, according to ITU and SI units
