Can I work at the audio and the movie in one single job?

[yosemite]

hi,

yes, u will say: Sure, that's possible!
I know it is possible, if u choose the standard "Lame" settings in G-Knot.

But I wanna work with the Expert Mode because I want to work with the "--alt -preset 128" Lame-parameters.

At the moment, I work at the audio and the video by 2 jobs.
At first, I transfer the AC3 -> MP3 and start then the second job with the 2 passes!

My question is now, if u can do these 2 jobs in one single job?

The problem is that I have to tell in G-Knot -> Bitrate -> Audio A which bitrate or size my MP3-file has!
But I dont know the MP3-bitrate because it is variable, not constant!
So, I have to tell G-Knot about the MP3-size and to do this, I have to create the MP3-file at first, right? <- but this would mean that I need to do these 2 jobs!

Hope, u understand my problem, I just want to put 2 jobs into 1 ;)

Write a batch file (.bat).

Re-name lame.exe in the Gknot directory, then write your batch file and name it as lame.exe. Be warned, you have to make sure that you have enough space beforehand as a batch file won't give you any errors - it will just close down. Also the output of alll the proggies in the batch file have to be something easy to remember (like a.ac3->b.wav->c.mp3).

Thankfullly, the switches for programs in the batch file will be easy if you set it all up in BeSweet, then do some cutting and pasting of the options in the command line box of BeSweet.

A batch file?
Sounds easier as it maybe it ;)

Can u give me some tips for such a batch-file?

I have never done something like that before, so I am little bit confused ;)

Here is all the info you should need for this task: http://www.aumha.org/a/batchesz.htm.

thx, but I dont know if that commands help me, do they?

Are there the commands which I need for such a batch-file?

[cofferscuffs]

e.g.

START d:\BeSweetv0.95a\BeSweet.exe -core( -input f:\vts_01 AC3 T01 3_2ch 384Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3 -output f:\sound.mp3 -logfilea C:\Documents and Settings\ouroboross\Desktop\binaries\BeSweetv0.95a\BeSweet.log ) -azid( -z1 -b1 -g max -L 3db ) -lame( -m s -v --vbr-new -V 0 )
END

Name this as lame.exe in the Gknot folder and you should be away.

EDIT no " thingys should be in there.

in the bitrate-tab you don't have to enter the exact size or bitrate of your audio-file. just enter an estimation (like 128 or 160 kbps). this will help you to choose the best resolution.

if "re-calculate video bitrate" in tab "Audio 1" (encoding control panel) is checked (default), this value will be automatically replaced later on with the correct size of the mp3-file that will be created.

so, it's all there already. you can do it in one job, that's what gknot is all about. ;)

But...

... if I would go this way it could happen that my value in the box "bits/pixel*frame" become to less, couldnt it?
