BeSweet/BeLight: Click at the end of the track.

[castellanos]

Hi there!
I wanted to do a normal wav/mp3 convertion using BeLight/BeSweet and everytime I do the convertion I get a click at the end of the track.
I have last versions of both applications.
I've tried with Nero and no problem, even MeGui did the job without click.
Some ideas why is this happening?
Greetings! ;)

it seems that BeSweet doesn't like the end of your sample...:o I don't know why actually. You should ping DSPGuru for that.

Seems your wav have ExtraChunks at end of file (legal but unusual), then BeSweet send this values like audio data ignoring the datalength info. (one more reason to modify BeSweet).

There are some tools to delete the extrachunks at end of file and rewrite the header. If you really need this I wrote a simple one (wavfix.exe) and I can send you.

Tested and verified with your sample.

Gracias tebasuna51!
The sample is a recording of myself playing barroque cello and I made that thogether with Samplitude.
Nero made the encoding without problems, so it is a solution there, but if you are kind enough and want to send me your tool, your more than welcome.
Gracias otra vez! ;)

Nero made the encoding without problems, so it is a solution there, but if you are kind enough and want to send me your tool, your more than welcome.

You can encode also with lame.exe but I can send you this tool:
##################################################################
WavFix v1.0.0.3: Fix or create PCM wav header. (Tebasuna 2007)
##################################################################
Usage:
WavFix <input.wav> [output.wav] [-ignorelength] [-i/f #] [-c #] [-s #]

Where:
<input.wav> wav or w64 up to 8 channels, int or float, 8-16-24-32-64 bits,
PCM/WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE/W64, any extra chunks, allowed > 4GB.

[output.wav] If not present, input.wav is used suffixed with: _fix
The header is always PCM.

[-ignorelength] If present the length in wav header is ignored, useful for wav
> 2/4 GB. Problem: extrachunks at end of file treated as data

If any of the next parameters are present the input is considered RAW:
[-i #] BitsPerSample Integer. Default 16. Valid 8, 16, 24, 32

[-f #] BitsPerSample Float. Valid 32 or 64.

[-c #] NumChannels. Default 2. Valid only 1 to 8.

[-s #] SampleRate. Default 48000 Hz. Any value is allowed.

Note: To use STDIN use - as input filename (now output.wav is necessary).

Here is a temporary link (http://files.filefront.com/Wav2Utilzip/;9213513;/fileinfo.html) (only 10 Kb) to this tool and WavSplit.
You only need WavFix.exe, but you can Drag&Drop more than one wav file over Wav2Util.vbs (or a link in the DeskTop, Wav2Util.vbs must be at same folder than wavfix.exe) more easy than command line option.

De nada.

Gracias tebasuna51!
It worked! ;)
