To avoid the problem for wav's > 4GB and neroAacEnc
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=823985#post823985

"I check wav's > 4GB with any value in DataLength and +36 in RiffLength and always work with neroAacEnc -ignorelength, then the problem is use same value for the two fields.

For BeHappy the solution is fill DataLength with 0xFFFFFEDC (0xFFFFFF00 - 36)."

Very very nice, Dimzon.

Can you give me download link to newest BeHappy beta with this new ND AAC dialog? Direct link, if possible.

Thank you.
It is not complete yet, wait for 1-2 week...

@dimzon i founded one small bug into enc_aacPlus.exe. When use LC-AAC and MP4 container i get fake SBR which have 88.2kHz instead 44kHz and in foobar says that is SBR present but insn't when i remuxed this file with YAMB everything is fine, that is probably because you forgot to clear switch -sbr in mp4box comandline for LC-AAC.

Good news at http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=824472#post824472

New ffmpeg CVS_2006-04-28 works with BeHappy and preserve the 100% original wav volume. In my first test new ffmpeg is better than HeadAC3he v0.24-a13 with 6 db gain.

Here is a simply and basic BeHappy MusePack extension.

http://d.turboupload.com/d/584079/mpcextension.rar.html

The extension and the mppenc.exe from www.musepack.net must be in the BeHappy folder of course.

@dimzon:
Maybe you want improve the extension (change the uniqueID, or add a logo), or reject it ;)

If You need some fix/improvement please let me know ASAP!

Just had a couple of suggestions if you have a chance.

Anyway to get a "Clear All Jobs" on the job control page.
(now you have to delete jobs one at a time)

Also, have the destination filename change to match the source filename anytime it changes after the inital selection.
(I usually convert 3 - 5 files at a time.)

Otherwise, I like it the way it is now. Thanks again.

The last alpha Bepipe still have the bug writing wav headers detected for BeHappy in my post:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=758076#post758076

Maybe enc_AudX_CLI.exe detect the error and abort. See the routine name in log:
" in enc_AudX_CLI.WaveFormat.ReadWavHeader"

Others encoders may ignore the error (isn't a important parameter).

In any case, I agree with buzzqw, Bepipe can be used in others app. (see NeroAacEnc thread) and may need a update.

both BeHappy & megui do not support nero 2pass? why?

buzzqw

16th May 2006, 07:15

Using avisynth isn't possibile to do a 2 pass encoding (with piping).

Behappy should first dump the wav file then do the 2 pass encoding... it's a quite long process

@dimzon, one question:

did you include new CT dialog or not

and can you use mp4 for default extesion insted m4a

buzzqw

16th May 2006, 12:18

and can you use mp4 for default extesion insted m4a

afaik mp4 mean m4a muxed into mp4 container... so is different from m4a

BHH

dimzon

16th May 2006, 12:38

Wrong! m4a is AAC in MP4 container. So it's just mp4 renamed to m4a

@dimzon, one question:

Not yet.

and can you use mp4 for default extesion insted m4a
Personally I prefer m4a for audio-only and mp4 for audio+video
bcz I'm using foobar2000 to play m4a (via file association) and MPC to play mp4 (via file association)...
Actually I believe that different extension for audio-only media is good way:

RIFF: WAV & AVI
ASF: WMA & WMV
Matroska: MKA & MKV
MP4: M4A & MP4
OGM: OGG & OGM

@Dimzon : looking at the Lame picture, the window title is wrong I think. ;)

m4a is AAC in MP4 container
We can store also mp3 and alac into the m4a. :)

It's not a simple idea, but a complete set of my philosophy through my own career. I have been independant since very long ago, so should it be reflected as such.

I am having trouble getting this to run. I know I am doing something dumb, but... I need help! heh

When I try to convert from an AC3 into AAC using BeHappy, I get this error log:

Starting job VTS_01_1 01 en-English 3_2ch 448Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3->moulin rouge audio.mp4
Error: BeHappy.AviSynthException: Script error: there is no function named "NicAc3Source"
at BeHappy.AviSynthClip..ctor(String func, String arg, AviSynthColorspace forceColorspace, AviSynthScriptEnvironment env)
at BeHappy.Encoder.encode()

I have put NicAudio.dll in the MeGUI folder (where I put BeHappy as well) and AviSynth's plugins folder. Does anyone have any ideas?

Also, I am curious - while I know AAC supports 96kHz sample rates, does it also support 24bit fidelity? I have found nothing that says it is either 16bit or 24bit. Does anyone know?

SirLamer

17th May 2006, 05:17

Hey,

I found out that the error is because the generated AviSynth script is missing a line of code:

LoadPlugin("NicAudio.dll")

It sould appear before the nic script is called.

ATM BeHappy doesnt support anything except 16 bit

No. Just place NicAudio.dll into AviSynth plugin folder

18th May 2006, 01:19

Okay, then don't believe me. You could focus on a possible bug in your program, or you can claim it to be fantasy, it is your choice.

I don't have AviSynth installed in the default location. I will try reinstalling it in the default folder and see if that fixes things.

By the way, it would be nice if one were able to export AAC in a .mp4 container, since it has support with more media players.

UPDATE: Indeed, installing AviSynth at its default location corrected the error.

ANOTHER UPDATE: I had StaxRip installed, and it's possible that it decided to swap the registry link from the AviSynth folder I installed to its own plugins folder.

In my case I'm interested to use BeHappy for audio encoding with StaxRip. A CLI might even be better since StaxRip has already generic CLI support. Generally scripting and CLI is always a good thing, don't you think?

There is always a feature missing and scripting is often the rescue here. I've extened dozens of applications for personal use including most of my media apps like MediaMonkey, iTunes, DVBViewer, they all got a huge scripting SDK.

BeHappy would then be usable from the command prompt, batch files, and all serious programming and scripting languages. It can already be hacked easily from .NET but it's nicer to use a real SDK, late binding etc. instead of reflection on private code.
