Where I can download the newest version of behappy ?

BeHappy Workspace （http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/behappy ）has been phased-out.
Yes GotDotNet is out and the BeHappy author Dimzon is also out of this forum from long time.

The last 'official' release is from 2006-07-19, but there are mod's here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=998715#post998715) and here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1003847#post1003847).

Search always in this thread.

BTW, I make a copy of GotDotNet info, if anybody need old sources ...

Developers for what?

What is the TODO list for BeHappy?

BeHappy is only a GUI to write avs's and encoder parameters for inexpert users. We never can replace a expert user writing avs's and never can put all parameters (see Aften for instance) of a encoder without confuse the newbies.

Actually my only doubt about BeHappy is use the last enc_aacplus or not (see the thread mentioned (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=977901#post977901)).

Other question is AviSynth Audio Encoding with more general issues, common with others tools to convert avs's to audio like BePipe, Wavi (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1019016#post1019016) or SoundOut (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=120025).

I'm testing Bass libraries 2.3 with a new BassAudio.dll (http://www.mybigdir.com/1893) and there are some improvements about aac multichannel decoding.
To be continued...

tebasuna51

17th July 2007, 17:43

Decoding the aac multichannel (in .mp4 container), with Bass_aac 2.3.0.1 the channel mapping is ok. But ...

- Decoding .aac, instead .mp4, SoundOut and BeHappy/BePipe crash (Fatal stack overflow error with BePipe). Wavi work but there are some artifacts.

- Decoding .mp4, Wavi and SundOut work with a few artifacts but BeHappy/BePipe have a lot of artifacts.

- Also I get artifacts decoding two channel aac, Bass 2.2 works fine.

I can't recommend the use of Bass 2.3 for aac or ac3.

I can't see changes with Bass 2.2 decoding wav (WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE), ogg, mp2, mp3 or wma then using Bass 2.2 at least aac stereo can be used.

Nope, you can use NicAc3Source like decoder and Nero or CT for encoding ac3 -> aac.

We are searching a dedicated multichannel aac AviSynth decoder to use instead the problematic DirectShowSource method.

Unfortunately, I'm having problems.
Everytimes I try to convert (from some format to another one), an error occurs and the tool is closed by windows XP.
Here's a screenshot before the quit of the tool.

Is there any Way/ Plugin/Mod to output mono waves instead of mutichannel interleaved wave ?

I use NicsAC3Source and Timestretch on PAL AC3s and it would be nice to have 6 mono wave Output .
For now i use wavewizard to split interleaved to mono

In precedent Shon3i package there are Wav2mono and Wav2Stereo .exe and .extension.

In the new release in my precedent post there are WavSplit .exe and .extension to replace Wav2mono and Wav2Stereo.
You need only put the files in BeHappy folder, run BeHappy, select WavSplit in BeHappy (4) Destination, instead Wav Writer, and configure (...) mono/stereo.

what is the difference to old wave2mono Output ? Outputs 6 mono waves too...

I found Wavesplit.extension ins \Behappy\src Folder, works fine..nice. Thats all i need :)

Behappy Default Wave output is 32Bit right ?
For AC3 i set it to "Convert Sample to 16bit"

Other Question :
Now i prefer NicAC3Source 1.92 over Azid, because Behappy/NicAudio is more Updated
Is there any Quality Difference in AC3 to Wave decoding ? I dont think so...

And with NicDTSSource compared with Tranzcode 0.4 ?

None, only reduce the files needed.

Behappy Default Wave output is 32Bit right ?

Nope, now BeHappy don't touch the bitdepth (before the output is always 16 int) if the output encoder accept the bitdepth.

The 32 bit float come from NicAc3Source.

AviSynth can change also the bitdepth if any function don't support the actual.

For AC3 i set it to "Convert Sample to 16bit"

Never, the first thing Aften do is convert to 32 float then you have a double conversion 32 float -> 16 int -> 32 float.
Let the 32 float.

Now i prefer NicAC3Source 1.92 over Azid, because Behappy/NicAudio is more Updated
Is there any Quality Difference in AC3 to Wave decoding ? I dont think so...

Is updated but not in AC3 decoder. I think the quality is the same, only for special num_channels 3, 4, 5 Azid is still necesary.

And with NicDTSSource compared with Tranzcode 0.4 ?

I don't know very much about DTS.

AH, ok NicAC3 Decoder output 32bit..allright
I dont use Aften :) so its no double Conversion
I use Behappy/NicAC3Source only to decode AC3 to wave / Timestretch ( no Pitch Correction).
For AC3 encoding i use a only cert DD Encoder.
For example the cert DD Encoder from Sonic Scenarist accepts only 16bit Wave source.
I think 16bit Output from standard DVD AC3 is enough ? In my case its AC3 Audio from DVD which is 48khz 16bit.
However, NicsAC3Source outputs 32bit and maybe i should leave it to avoid the 16bit conversion

Interesting, what is Default Azids Bitdepth Output ?
And when i set it to 16bit in Besweet, is it "Conversion" too?

thx

tebasuna51

AC3 don't have bitdepth because the samples are in frequency domain instead time domain. Maybe the source is 16 bit but not the ac3.

The dynamic range in ac3 is equivalent to 24 bits depth.

Interesting, what is Default Azids Bitdepth Output ?
And when i set it to 16bit in Besweet, is it "Conversion" too?
The default is 16 bits but azid.exe have the parameter:
-F FILE_TYPE, --filetype=FILE_TYPE
----------------------------------

Default: wav

Selects the file type to generate. Possible values are:

o wav. Generates "normal" 16-bits wav.
o wav24. Generate 24-bit integer wav.
o wav32. Generate 32-bits integer wav
o wav_float. Generate 32-bits floating-point (IEEE) wavs.
o pcm. Generate 16-bit pcm (equal to wav, only without
the wav-header)
o pcm32. Generate 32-bit integer PCM
o pcm_float. Generate 32-bits floating-point (IEEE) PCM
output.

Thats what i mean...more or less

So, What which Bitdepth do you recommend "generally" to decode AC3 to Wave ? I decode without DRC/DialoNorm

I think 32bit is good and you can make nothing wrong,right ? Especially for NicsAC3SOurce to avoid extra 32-16 bit Conversion

If your ac3 encoder support 32 bit float, or you need make some edit, of course is the best option.

But if your encoder only support 16 int ...

@Nikos

No, Vegas dont convert anything.
Because you simply drag and drop your 6 mono waves into it.
Theres no internal Wave Processing or somewaht in this Case
Only when you export/edit the waves ,the internal ProjectSetting is active
So Vegas dont touch the Waves. When you disable View-"Waveform and Frames" ,you can see theres absolutly no internal preprocessing/conversion.
And to display the Waveform Vegas simply read the Input. Theres no writing/Conversion too

32Bit Float Wave after drag&drop into the 5.1 Project :
http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/2396/sshot4nd0.th.png (http://img252.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sshot4nd0.png)
You can see its still 32Bit "before" you render it to AC3 .

@tebasuna51
You told me Behappy dont touch the Input wave Bitdepth ,right ?
But when i run a 16 bit (mono) wave i get 32bit Output from 16Bit Source by default ?
"Channels=1, BitsPerSample=32 float, SampleRate=48000Hz"

Mhh, not nice when i have to select a extra 16 bit Conversion to get my 16bit back from Behappy

Actually Behappy only touch the bitdepth if the output encoder don't support it, never for uncompressed output.

From AviSynth docs:
"Starting from v2.5 the audio samples will be automatically converted if any filters requires a special type of sample. This means that most filters will accept several types of input, but if a filter doesn't support the type of sample it is given, it will automatically convert the samples to something it supports."

If you use Timestretch, also from AviSynth docs:
"SoundTouch is used in float sample mode."

And if you want 16 bit output a final ConvertAudioTo16bit() must be included explicitly.

I think I found the problem with the stdout stuff. I've removed the link until I get it fixed. It may be tomorrow. Sorry.

Here is another BeHappy update.

Changes:
2008-01-03 (Chumbo)
+ Updated the DSP Move buttons to behave according to selection and position.
+ Added a multiple file feature for the new Aften to create ac3 files from multiple wav sources. I'm sure there's a better way to implement this, but I put it together quickly. Note that this feature is for Aften only. It will launch a command window when executed as I couldn't get the process object to work for some reason. So if anyone can check out the code and get the process stdout redirection working that would be great. That way the output status can be displayed within BeHappy like it normally does. Here are the rules:

When you select Multiple Mono File List,

only the Aften encoder is allowed
avisynth is not used
DSP is disabled along with all other avisynth features

The input file must be a plain text file with either .src, .txt or .lst extension
The input file format is to have each mono wav file on its own line and the file name must have the following indicators in the file name:
_fl = front left
_fr = front right
_c = front center
_lfe= LFE
_sl = surround left
_sr = surround right

See the included SampleMultiMonoFile.txt for an example input file (see below)

C:\Documents and Settings\userx\My Documents\For encoding tests\audio\Test_FL.wav
C:\Documents and Settings\userx\My Documents\For encoding tests\audio\Test_FR.wav
C:\Documents and Settings\userx\My Documents\For encoding tests\audio\Test_C.wav
C:\Documents and Settings\userx\My Documents\For encoding tests\audio\Test_SL.wav
C:\Documents and Settings\userx\My Documents\For encoding tests\audio\Test_SR.wav
C:\Documents and Settings\userx\My Documents\For encoding tests\audio\Test_LFE.wav

Note that the files do not have to be in any specific order as long as you have the correct indicator in the file name. You also do not have to have all 6 channels if you only need FL, FR, LFE for example, you only need to use those files and so on.

For some reason, I couldn't upload the file to mytempdir this time as it kept failing. I uploaded it to rapidshare which I hate because of the waiting crap they do. If someone else can grab this from rapidshare and see if you can put it on mytempdir and share that link, it would be appreciated.

tebasuna51

4th January 2008, 13:20

@Chumbo, nice stuff, you should enable to use all multichannel encoders like AAC, and aslo WAV.

I can't understand this new stuff.

For what use BeHappy to encode six monowavs to ac3/aac out off AviSynth environment? There are others GUI's to do this.

You always can use BeHappy to do this inside AviSynth with DSP's actives and with any output: ac3, aac, ogg, wav
Instead your .src, .txt or .lst file you only need an .avs file like:

fl = WavSource("X:\Path\Test_FL.wav")
fr = WavSource("X:\Path\Test_FR.wav")
fc = WavSource("X:\Path\Test_C.wav")
lf = WavSource("X:\Path\Test_LFE.wav")
sl = WavSource("X:\Path\Test_SL.wav")
sr = WavSource("X:\Path\Test_SR.wav")
MergeChannels(fl, fr, fc, lf, sl, sr)

And open this .avs in BeHappy with all AviSynth DSP's and features available: delay, timestretch, resample, ...

Maybe we can construct a utility to write this .avs with a graphical interface like BeLight or Wisodev WavtoAc3, but the Chumbo mod I think is out off the BeHappy scope.

Is it possible to make reverse process one multichannel wave to 6 waves?

I don't understand your request. WavSplit can output six monowavs or three stereo wav's from a multichannel input.

...
Believe it or not, I agree with you regarding the scope. I was just tinkering around to see if it can be done, i.e., without avs and using aften directly. I had some down time and this is what I wasted it on. ;) I may scrap this altogether, but I wanted to get the input/output redirection working just so I learn how that stuff works too.

Personally, I use WAV to AC3 Encoder when my source is multiple wav files. It's quick and I don't have to build a batch file. :)

tebasuna, what do you think about adding a gui button to BeHappy that brings up a new UI that allows the user to select the wav files, assign them to the channel and then it creates the avs script for them and puts it directly into BeHappy to encode? It would be a friendly way to have the user construct it without having to manually put it into an avs file.
