i got this error pls help,

looks like bencos thinks your source is 6 channel, while sox thinks it's 2.

please post your issue here:http://code.google.com/p/bencos/issues/entry

as well as the infos of your source.

pls can add an option to use custom settings for encoding?

same link, create a new "feature request" :)

request added. Is this version of BENCOS GUI support multi threaded?

[Sirber]

Well, ffmpeg does. :)

[MajorX]

when i m encoding with 2-pass the 1st pass runs too slow than the 2nd pass...why? i use Medium present.

mmm I'll verify the 1pass settings

I'm currently upgrading the GUI/encoder to be multi-threaded, so I might not fix bugs or update bencos for a little while.

nice and hope you succeed in it so that i can rest my little program named cyko

and btw if your taking up request once you finish multi-threading bencos then i suggest CRF encoding to be added and FLAC audio encoding with SoX

i know freepascal TProcess does not accept piping but here is a command line im using to encode FLAC audio to vorbis and downmix the channel to mono
sox input.flac -t wav -c 1 - | ffmpeg -i - -acodec libvorbis -aq -1.0 -y output.ogg

and also can you give an option to always encode audio to mono and quality base instead of bitrate? because the lower the audio channels the lower the file size you can get especially when your using quality base audio encoding

[Sirber]

for vorbis I use quality (-2 to 10 iirc). I display bitrate (equivalent) in the GUI.

Working on DS Backup (http://www.detritus.qc.ca/cms/?page_id=140) (VB#), it took me 30 minutes having the GUI multi-threaded... thinking of moving bencos to VB#... ;)

Hi Sirber, are you able to add a feature to bencos to add no subs to the encode? and enable .ass and .ssa in to the subs as well?

cheers

bencos doesn't look around the source file for subs.
This could be done but I'm thinking of moving on another project.

[MajorX]

any update??

[Sirber]

no.....

[clone83]

what project are u moving on to...?

[Sirber]

what project are u moving on to...?

I'm currently working on a backup too, and after that I might rewrite bencos in vb.net (RealAnime 7 ;)). I'm a bit bored of freepascal... :(

I recently learned how to do threading (in .net) and it's almost a joy :)

Planned new version BENCOS work without installation (portable version)?

[Sirber]

Yeah. Temp files goes to "%temp%\bencos" while encoding.

[edit]

Extract the content of the installer exe with 7zip and run in.

[Tushkan]

I want to be able to choose the audio track to encode.
Whether this will be implemented?

[Sirber]

You can choose one by language. Doesn't work otherwise.

You can always make a feature request (http://code.google.com/p/bencos/issues/entry?template=Feature%20request%20from%20user), but I'm not actively working on bencos... :o

high 10 profile? it's product is still in 8bit.. why? does this feature work?

[Sirber]

high 10 profile? it's product is still in 8bit.. why? does this feature work?

I have no clue. BENCOS only set flags on the encoder (ffmpeg/x264).

[Sirber]

Todo for 2012!

Can't wait to clean bencos's code, it's a big one-file mess :(

waiting RA7 release... :D

[Sirber]

might be a long wait ;)
I'm learning C++ and wxWidgets, still not sure if it's going anywhere ;)

My suggestion: Go for Qt rather than wxWidgets :D

My suggestion: Go for Qt rather than wxWidgets :D

I had a quick look at it, with it's QML lanquage. Not sure I like it..

[alzou]

I see u make recode now... thanks a lot

yes and no.. I'm experimenting ;)

Hello, one question i updated the programs (MP4box, mkvtool, ffmpeg, etc) drag, drop and replace, and at the last step when joining a file i get error, can i update the programs without this happening or should i just leave them as they are?. thanks...

mp4 or mkv? to be safe update only ffmpeg.

:readguid: what's the error information :\

[edward666]

Error with MKV

Merging files... error #2

and with MP4 the files says finished but in the output folder there is no file, its empty...

[Sirber]

I cannot say, maybe an error with the encoders and the muxer got an empty file. Try Recode from my website, it's a bit more updated with a simpler toolchain.
