Disable ConvertAudioTo16bit()

[Seraphic-]

Hi,

Is there any way to disable ConvertAudioTo16bit() when encoding with NeroAAC 1.3.3.0 using MeGUI?
I'm trying to encode a two channel 48kHz - 24BPS audio file, but ConvertAudioTo16bit() keeps getting added changing the file from 24bps to 16bps.
I recall that NeroAAC supports 24bps. Does any know why ConvertAudioTo16bit() keeps getting added? Seems to be no way to disable it.

Thanks

You can use BeHappy to do audio conversion. Always use the high bitdepth supported by the encoders.

MeGUI need some code changes to do the same.
Not only suppress the explicit function ConvertAudioTo16bit(), also change the AvisynthWrapper.dll with a new version (used by BeHappy) and change calls to 'dimzon_avs_init' (do one more time the ConvertAudioTo16bit() function) to new 'dimzon_avs_init_2' without bitdepth change.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
But the link to dowload BeHappy 0.2.2.30338 in your sig seems to be dead at the moment.
The download like to the program, not the website. I'll try again later/

I download BeHappy_r13913.7z without problems.

Was able to download the BeHappy a few days ago, but had to use Internet Explorer as Firefox would not start the download.
Anyway, got it working and encoding NeroACC at 24bit. Question though, when using NeroAAC with BeHappy and encoding with Variable Bitrate, Q=0 is lowest quality and Q=1 is highest quality, correct?

I suppose, but I never try to do so.
