Simple NeroAACEnc GUI - SNG 1.3

[Sharktooth]

ah yes... saving the settings
i forgot it :)

[ron spencer]

how about a reset to default switch

[Sharktooth]

taking notes... :)

[ron spencer]

well...let's see then....how about estimated time to completion? Dunno if this is easy to do or not, or even worthwhile

[Sharktooth]

do you really need that?

[ron spencer]

nah...just idea

[Sharktooth]

anyone tried sng with neroaacenc 1.0.0.2?
it doesnt work for me...

anyone tried sng with neroaacenc 1.0.0.2?

it tried, it works without bepipe, i didnot try with it

You are right.
But Only on CBR mode:
- one pass(HEv2)
- two pass(Auto, LC, HE, HEv2)

However neroAacEncGUI woks perfectly.

Bye

[imcold]

That combinations are not allowed in the 1.0.0.2 version. I will update the gui and disable them asap.

[Shocku]

how about the ability to add input files by dragging them into the GUI window?

[Sharktooth]

The problem i was referring to was due to the Aud-X decoder.
disabling it fixes the DirectShowSource() error...

[Sharktooth]

Im actually a bit busy so i cant/wont update sng for a while.

[imcold]

Drag & drop will not be included in upcoming days... it would requie additional libs for lazarus and me knowing something more about win stuff. I got some stuff going on and I will be on holidays, so maybe later ;)

[Weltall]

Hey imcold, are you fine!? I'm using your sng, it's really cool!
I just wanted you to put something in it, that is dynamic compression, could you? I'd really appreciate it, thanks!

[imcold]

hey, thanks. I'm doing good. What exactly do you mean with "dynamic compression"?

[buzzqw]

i think he means Dynamic Renge Compression or DRC....

but in nicaudio there is already this possibility.. afaik

BHH

[Weltall]

Dynamic compression is that process of making the sound equally loud, so we don't need to worry about bother someone with louder parts.

[imcold]

There already is track normalizing thru avisynth, and you can set AC3 Dynamic range compression level in your AC3 Directshow decoder.

[Weltall]

Yeah, but normalizing just raises ac3 sound. But, if I activate DRC in decoder, aac converted sound with SNG will be DRCompressed? Isn't that important?

[imcold]

Yeah, but normalizing just raises ac3 sound. But, if I activate DRC in decoder, aac converted sound with SNG will be DRCompressed? Isn't that important?
not that i quite understand, where your point is, but... The encoder is feeded with decoder's output... so if you set the decoder to use DRC, obiously the encoder will be feeded with this DRC-ed output.

[Weltall]

You understood really well, this is what I wanted. Thank you (wow! taked a lot of time to answer :o)

[kopavel]

Pleeease, pleeeease make the normalize switcheable off...
I have with it silience in intermediate.wav...
I show you one BUG for theat ;]
So.. cosmetic bug: if we switch on "use BePipe..." and "Use intermediate..." and then switch off "use BePipe..." we have "two-pass..." greyed...
But in overal - needed stuff - good job =]

What about decode to WAV with mplayer, not with avisinth?
Mplayer don't need anything to install (nor codecs, nor avisyinth) - so if people ask for some program to convert mp3 to aac/3pp - we can give him archive: NeroAACEnc + sng + mplayer in one folder - that's all ;)

ps. my english is bad, don't hit my strenght...

[otherdarom]

Hi,

first good job !!!! :thanks:

My question: is it possible to hide the cmd console ?
I just want to covert a list of files so the console comes every new file on top.
You can just post the source code changings for this issue i have to param. the process instance.

[Sharktooth]

Uhm... dunno. Im not an expert in delphi/freepascal.
However there are much better GUIs right now...

[otherdarom]

Links ?

thanks

[shon3i]

BeHappy, MeGUI, and BeLight

[otherdarom]

BeHappy, MeGUI, and BeLight

what about the guis with batch func. and avisynth as source for maro than wav ?

[shon3i]

what about the guis with batch funcBeLight have batch processing, and BeHappy/MeGUI can use AviSynth script as source and other common formats as source aslo BeLight have many input foramts but don't have avs input.

[YouDontKnowMe]

well, why I cant use 2-pass encoding?

it doesnt work for abr nor cbr nor vbr
or am I doing something wrong?

[LiFe]

Heya folk,

Just downloaded so I can encode some AC3, and running some tests I've come accros the following:

- Doesn't accept 3 decimal points. (Small point, but nero recommend 0.425 as 128kbit like transparent audio)
- Normalises using BePipe by default, I don't neccessarily want this, it should be a switch.
- Doesn't put a \ at the end of the output directory by default in the CMD line (after browsing to pick a directoy). So if output directory is "C:\Documents and Settings\Me\Desktop" and file is "Test1.mp4" you get "C:\Documents and Settings\Me\DesktopTest1.mp4"

Otherwise, interesting program!

Thanks.

2-passes encoding is available in ABR mode ONLY, but you must select Bepipe input AND Intermedia wav file options.

well, i dont know where imcold (the original dev) is... however if i find some free time i'll fix the bugs and add some stuff (a better audio volume normalization and some other stuff).

[imcold]

Sorry for not responding for a long time, I wasn't visiting the forum very much in the last few months. My personal life is keeping me pretty busy and I'm focused on another projects. If I will have some free time for SNG, I will modify it.

[Sharktooth]

Some ideas for improving SNG:
Support for 5.1 channels input, user configurable volume amplification/normalization (with AmplifydB avisynth filter), bugfixes and suggestions by LiFe, bugfixes in the UI controls.

[imcold]

Hi Sharktooth,
"bugfixes and suggestions by LiFe" - already done. By 5.1 input supporting you mean to convert it to 2.0? I will check out AmplifydB too... Sincerely, I'm thinking about rewriting it from scratch and making a tabbed interface with dedicated avisynth tab.

[Sharktooth]

yes downsampling to 2.0.
however i've lost the latest sources when i had the HDD crash.

[imcold]

sorry to hear that, it happened to me too some time ago.. sources are online here, fortunately: http://imcold.evilhosting.org/files/sng_src/ , I just forgot to upload the latest changes, I it noticed it a while ago.

I have somewhere the avs script for downsampling from the megui source... I is it ok to use, or I need the sng source to be released as gpl too (as is megui)?

[Sharktooth]

uhm... theoretically it should be released as GPL source... but an avisynth script is not properly part of the code. I think downsampling scripts are already freely available.

[imcold]

This is a test version. More switches get saved, config file is automatically generated. I rewrote and simplified the source a lot, so I hope it'll work.

[Sharktooth]

Im sorry, but im quite busy with MeGUIx port.
If i find some time i will test it and maybe add something.

[numaios]

Hello!

Thank you for this useful tool. I have a question: are files generated with NeroAACEnc.exe fully *.mp4 compliant?

I've analyzed them with GSpot and they're reported as GPP container.

Thanks again.

[Sharktooth]

Yes, neroaacenc produces compliant mp4 files.

[numaios]

Thanks for answering :)
Yes, neroaacenc produces compliant mp4 files.Do you have any idea of why GSpot reports NeroAACEnc files as 3GPP while CT files are reported as MP4?

[killerhex]

where do i get the tagger exe

[sillKotscha]

where do i get the tagger exe

taggers (http://depositfiles.com/de/files/365051)

can't find 'em anymore in the www but uploaded the files for you... have phun

[imcold]

neroAacTag.exe is in the nero digital audio package: http://www.nero.com/nerodigital/eng/Nero_Digital_Audio.html

[imcold]

New version to play with. I grouped the options into pages to make the gui more user-friendly (at least I think so... looks better to me), added some minor tweaks, custom avisynth script can be used now too, for example for downmixing etc.

[Sharktooth]

nice work! :)
sorry if i couldnt help in development but im quite busy with the MeGUIx port.

[imcold]

I'm glad you like it. Good luck with MeGUI ;)
