Just wanted to say thanks for the stellar BeSplit utility. Works great, minus the headache of figuring out the intervals for the -split() directive.

I created a little utility called besp.exe for doing just this. You give it the length of the audio, and it will generate the -split() intervals for you. It takes easy to understand time values as parameters.

You can download it at:

Here's the help output:

BeSplit "-split" directive calculator. Saves output to "besplit.txt" so
you can copy-paste it into a BeSplit.exe command-line.


Usage:

besp.exe length="1h 20m" split="intof 30m"
besp.exe len=570m split=by2|by3|by4|...|byN
besp.exe len="8h 30m" split="intof 1h 4m"

(Then, open "besplit.txt", and paste it into the BeSplit.exe command you
are building.)


Parameters (both required):

len[gth]

Specify the length of the audio of the file you want
to split. Use "h" to denote an hour amount, "m" for
minutes, and "s" for seconds, e.g. "2h 30m 15s".

split

You can either split on time-based intervals, or by
equal parts.

Use "intof <time>" to split by intervals of a given
time. <time> is specified the same way as for the
"length" parameter.

Use "by<Number>" to split in equal parts. E.g. to split
a file in half, do "split=by2".
