Build #360 fixes AAC encoding with CBR mode. This was broken ever since v4.00, but nobody has complained until today ;)

Hey Mulder, thanks for the nice New Version!
I totally Love it but i got 3 Times this Error after/while encoding large Audio Files synchron (700-800MB).
Do you know what the Problem could be?
Working on an Core i5, 4GB Ram and a 64 Bit OS.

Greetings and thanks (:

Hello, codeit.

What is the "error" you are referring to? In your log I don't see any indication of an error. Maybe wrong log posted?

(There is no error message and the LAME encoder exited normally with code 0)

Thanks for the fast Reply, that was the Error Message that appeared in the Log after the Encoding finished.

I Right-clicked on the Track with the Status: Failed and copied this Log

There is no error message in that log, that's the problem ;)

I Right-clicked on the Track with the Status: Failed and copied this Log

So I assume you copied the wrong log (maybe from the wrong item). Can you please try to re-produce the issue once more and check?

In case it really failed, but the log for the failed item says that everything went trough just fine, I'd need more detailed info on how to reproduce this...

(BTW: You didn't mention what version of LameXP you are using, but in case you are still on v4.00 Final, you may want to try the latest build)

I´ll try to reprocedure the Error later.
But i don´t think that i copied a log from a correctly encoded Track.

Actual i´m using: Version 4.00 Final, Build 326 [2011-02-21]
and i don´t updated it since the Error because it was the latest Build.
I checked it right now by encoding another Track and looked into the Log from this File, it says too: LAME 3.99 (alpha 11, Feb 14 2011 16:34:39) 32bits

But i don´t think that i copied a log from a correctly encoded Track.

Please do so. And, if you encounter an error again, please tell me what exactly didn't work (no output file at all, output file with bad content, etc.)

Actual i´m using: Version 4.00 Final, Build 326 [2011-02-21]
and i don´t updated it since the Error because it was the latest Build.

So you may want to give the latest build a try now, which you can find here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lamexp/files/Snapshots%20(BETA)/2011-03-09/

BTW: It seems you have selected "force joint-stereo" as your channel mode. That's not a very good idea.
It's slightly faster than the "normal" joint-stereo mode, but quality will generally be worse!

Thanks for the Hint with Joint-Stereo, i´m always open for Improvements for my Music (:

Is the Updater working as intended?
If i run the Auto-Update it says Build: 326 is the latest ;-/

That must be the reason why i don´t have the latest Build.

http://i51.tinypic.com/350j991.jpg

If you check for updates in a "stable" release version, you won't find any "beta" (pre-release) updates - and that is for a good reason.

Only "beta" builds will be updated to later "beta" builds. The "stable" release will be updated to the next "stable" release as soon as a new "stable" release is available.

But of course you can always update to one of the "beta" builds manually. And you can install "beta" builds side-by-side with a "stable" build just fine...

Well, i tried to reproduce it but it, but i had no Problems encoding many large Files...Seems that everything works as usal :)

But thanks for taking time to resolve the "Problem"

Also, would it be possible to change the sound for when encoding is done, or at least let you close the window while it's playing that sound. I know it's not major, but, you know...just a thought!

Hello, davidprosser. If you don't like the sound, you can simply disable the LameXP sound effects. Isn't that enough?

And nope, we cannot make the "complete" sound asynchronous. That's because the message box that will appear right after the sound has it's own system sound (which LameXP has no control over).

If we don't wait for the sound to finish but show the message box immediately, then the system sound replaces the previous sound, effectively suppressing the "complete" sound...

Hey LoRd_MuldeR

Not sure if it´s just me but it seems to lag on start-up, and the first time selecting output folder.
Also when I go to add files it goes straight to my computer, it used to go to last folder used , handy if you store all your files in the same folder (like me) rather than selecting my pc/d/etc.etc each time.
MP3 channel mode simple is a bit non descriptive , Can this be changed back to stereo ?

Hey LoRd_MuldeR
Not sure if it´s just me but it seems to lag on start-up, and the first time selecting output folder.

Please see:
http://lamexp.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=lamexp/lamexp;a=blob_plain;f=doc/FAQ.html;hb=HEAD#df406578

Also when I go to add files it goes straight to my computer, it used to go to last folder used , handy if you store all your files in the same folder (like me) rather than selecting my pc/d/etc.etc each time.

I could make the "add files" dialog remember the last folder used, yes! Yet another entry on my TODO list ;)

MP3 channel mode simple is a bit non descriptive , Can this be changed back to stereo ?

Hum?

There isn't the one "Stereo" mode. MP3 (and the LAME encoder in particular) offers different ways to encode stereo sound:

1. Dual Mono (two completely separate channels, each channel gets ½ of the bitrate)
2. Stereo (still two separate channels, but the available bitrate can be distributed between the two channels as needed)
3. Joint Stereo (encode a "mid" channel plus a "side" channel rather than distinct "left" and "right" channels, but only when useful)
4. Forced Joint Stereo (just like "Joint Stereo", but it always forces mid/side channels - even when that is worse than right/left)

Note: Normal users shouldn't enforce a specific channel mode. The "auto" mode should work just fine for almost any case!
(With "auto" mode LAME will switch between "Stereo" and "Joint Stereo", depending on the current bitrate)

There now is an option to shutdown the computer when the encoding process is completed.

Hi, I've used lamexp since version 3, till today there's no problem.

To make it short, I tried to convert ac3 audio with 6 channels to mp3/vorbis.
I've already successfully converted ac3 to mp3/vorbis before but not this time.

Audio
Format : AC-3
Format/Info : Audio Coding 3
Duration : 1h 35mn
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 448 Kbps
Channel(s) : 6 channels
Channel positions : Front: L C R, Surround: L R, LFE
Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz
Stream size : 307 MiB (100%)

The decoding process is completed successfully, but when at filtering process, it suddenly stops and I got failed status.
Here's the log

From the log I think that the conversion to wav succeeded but not wav to mp3. I tested this by converting to wav first and it works but I cannot convert the wav to mp3 or vorbis.

I also tried to convert it to flac first but still failed at the filtering process(successfully got the flac audio), from the log I saw that flac got converted to wav first not directly to mp3. I think the problem is at the wav?

But at last I successfully converted the audio, I converted the flac to vorbis using foobar2000 conversion tool.
That's why I thought there's nothing wrong with the audio, I just want to post this bug here.

Thanks for the great app :D

LeonLanford,

it seems like SoX failed when downmixing the intermediate Wave file to two channels. The downmix is required for MP3 encoding, as the MP3 format is Stereo only.

Multi-channel AC3 to MP3 conversion seems to work okay for me:

Can you provide a short sample file to re-produce the issue? Also, what version are you using?

I can reproduce it here, was just curious about it and tried it with a 250 MB dts file :

Exited with code: 0xF291

I'm not sure you'd supposed to mix / and \ in a command line but I don't think that's the problem - after all you get an exit code

This exit code 62097 (F291) seems pretty popular with mplayer/smplayer , google it..

Later edit:

While decoding to wav, I opened the wav in vlc so that a file handle remains open and the file will remain after lamexp tries to delete them.
So I ran the command manually :

The output seems correct, wav file plays fine in videolan and is detected correctly as wav stereo.

Does this only happen with very big AC3/DTS files? If so, the problem might be that the decoded Wave file is bigger than 4GB :eek:

No, in my case the temp wav generated before sox was 3.78 GB (4,069,374,056 bytes) . lamexp crashed it when triggering sox, but when i did it manually it worked fine. I didn't use the folders in the parameters though, so the whole command line was much smaller (could it be the case?)

Anyway, it's risky to use by default the C: drive.. i usually have a few GB only - now I had 7 GB... if someone rips a dts from a movie, you're making a 4 GB wav, then a 1.25 GB with sox ...

People will start to buy 40-80GB SSDs just for the OS and the situation probably won't improve in the future

ps. The length of the path to the temp files in my case is 170. You're getting close to the 256 limit on Windows - some programs have issues with that.

Strange. It shouldn't make any difference whether LameXP calls SoX or you do it manually. The length of the command-line shouldn't be an issue.

That's why a warning will pop up when the disk space runs low. Also the intermediate files are stored in the secondary (user-defined) temp folder...

ps. The length of the path to the temp files in my case is 170. You're getting close to the 256 limit on Windows - some programs have issues with that.

As far as I know, there is no way around the MAX_PATH limit on Windows. The limit is 260 tough ^^

For people that just start the application and just upgrade when the message pops up, well, they don't know such feature has been added without reading about it somewhere. I don't know how many people check each menu with every upgrade. Maybe a small window below the "new update available" or when the new version starts for the first time describing the significant changes would be useful?

Well, there is the Changelog, at which anybody can look. I even added a shortcut to the Changelog to the Help menu recently.

Regarding file names. The actual limit is 256, because the MAX_PATH is 260 and you're using 3 for "X:\" and the fourth for the terminating NULL character.

I would consider the drive letter as a part of a fully-qualified path, but that's hairsplitting again ;)

Anyway, this is an API limit, and it's no longer the case for the Unicode versions of most functions - see this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa365247 - you can use up to about 32767 *bytes* (utf8 characters can take 1 to 3-5 bytes, normally maximum 3, more utf8 accepts and is valid according to standard, but for simplicity you're not supposed to use them)

The problem is you can't reliably know those command line tools are compiled and know how to read files with such long file names, without checking each one and building your own version, I'd say it's at least unreliable.

Even though the Win32 API support paths up to 32767 characters now, when the proper functions are used and when a special prefix is added to the path, it seems impossible to create paths longer than 260 characters in total on a physical disk. I don't know if that is a limitation of the filesystem, a limitation of the Windows Explorer or if they simply prevent longer file names for backward-compatibility reasons.

Anyway, on Windows 7 the length of the path to the default %TEMP% folder is 28 characters + length of the user account name (35 in total here). That's enough room for LameXP to create its temporary files.

It's quite possible to create and work with such files, it's just that you need to use the unicode functions instead of the default ANSI ones. Oh, and I think you have to be sure each segment of the path is below 260 ansi characters.

Here's a code I wrote right now in a few minutes... it's visual basic 6 but uses the windows api:

Private Type SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES
nLength As Long
lpSecurityDescriptor As Long
bInheritHandle As Long
End Type

Private Const FILE_SHARE_READ = &H1
Private Const FILE_SHARE_WRITE = &H2

Private Declare Function CreateDirectory Lib "kernel32" Alias "CreateDirectoryW" (ByVal lpPathName As String, lpSecurityAttributes As SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES) As Long
Private Declare Function CreateFile Lib "kernel32" Alias "CreateFileW" (ByVal lpFileName As String, ByVal dwDesiredAccess As Long, ByVal dwShareMode As Long, ByVal lpSecurityAttributes As Long, ByVal dwCreationDisposition As Long, ByVal dwFlagsAndAttributes As Long, ByVal hTemplateFile As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function CloseHandle Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hObject As Long) As Long

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim ret As Long
Dim s As String
Dim sec As SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES

Const folname As String = "This is a folder with a very long name because I like very long names and nobody can stop me from making them, they are so cool and magical"
Const filname As String = "This is a file with a very long name because I like very long names and nobody can stop me from making them, they are so cool and magical"

ret = CreateDirectory(s, sec)
MsgBox "Created folder " & folname & ", got reply " & CStr(ret) & " (0 means failure)"
s = StrConv("\\?\C:\" & folname & "\" & filname, vbUnicode)
ret = CreateFile(s, GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ Or FILE_SHARE_WRITE, ByVal 0&, CREATE_ALWAYS, 0, 0&)
MsgBox "Created file ::" & folname & "::, in the previously created folder, got handle " & CStr(ret)
ret = CloseHandle(ret)
end sub

The result is this:

http://savedonthe.net/image/871/Clipboard01.png

Funny though, stuff like echo "1" >"This..." doesn't work, as it won't find the file... same with copy con "this..."

The file name is too long.

ps. the vb6 "to unicode" functions converts it to utf-16 (two bytes per character) so that may be where you went wrong before if you tried it"

@mulder
as mariush already said, it's wav to mp3/vorbis bug (haven't tested with other).
my wav is only 3gb, less than mariush's.
I have 20gb free space so I don't think space is the problem and I'm using the latest lamexp #326.

I think there's also no problem with long filenames, I have longer filenames before and it worked. Like I said before, I tried to convert to wav first, after that convert it to mp3/vorbis but still failed.

"C:/Documents and Settings/Leon Lanford/Local Settings/Application Data/Temp/0903bfae0f0d4faa8bdb392e36f54688.tmp/tool_oggenc2_sse2.exe" -b 56 -o "C:\Documents and Settings\Leon Lanford\Desktop\[Keroro].Movie.03.[CC0F1970]_track2_jpn.ogg" "C:\Documents and Settings\Leon Lanford\Desktop\[Keroro].Movie.03.[CC0F1970]_track2_jpn.wav"

Skipping chunk of type "JUNK", length 28
Opening with wav module: WAV file reader
Mode initialisation failed: invalid parameters for bitrate

Exited with code: 0x0001

I think something is wrong with the wav reader? I can convert the wav with foobar2000 conversion tool.
Sorry I cannot provide sample because my upload speed is really slow, maybe you can ask mariush.

Hmm, I would understand if SoX failed to process Wave files with a size of 4+ GB, as normal Wave files can't exceed a size of 4 GB (a limitation to the underlying RIFF format).

So AC3Filter/Valibdec will output "RF64" Wave files, if the final size actually exceeds 4 GB. Wouldn't be a surprise of SoX failed to process such RF64 files, but with ~3GB files it should work.

I will try to re-produce the issue with a bigger Wave file. But if that turns out to be a limitation in SoX, there's not much I can do about it...

Okay, I just converted an 6ch AC3 file, which I had extracted from one of my DVD's, to the MP3 format with LameXP.

Everything went through just fine:
http://pastie.org/private/r3u9ngl7p875mm5p1j6pyg
:confused:

The size of the source AC3 file is 316 MB, the intermediate Wave file was like ~3 GB in size, the downmixed version was still about 1 GB in size.

As you can see, the decoding (Valibdec), the downmixing (SoX) and the encoding (LAME) all completed successfully...

BTW: I just fixed a minor bug in LameXP's code for parsing the Valibdec output. This bug caused the log to be flooded with messages like this:
[ 0.5%] Frs: 3560 Err: 0 Time: 0:01.203 Level: 0 dB FPS: 2959 CPU: 17.9%

File Size : 42949672.00G
Bit Rate : 42949672.442949672.00G

in the pastie log? 32bit signed/unsigned issue? I didn't get that with the almost 4GB wav made from the dts file.

Not sure. I will try with a DTS file later or tomorrow.

New experimental snapshot available:

This is the first build compiled with Visual Studio 2010, so please report any issues you may encounter.
Due to a limitation of Visual Studio 2010, the minimum supported operating system is Windows XP with Service Pack 2 from now on.
Furthermore we have a new translation: Korean!

I overhauled the initialization routine, so the startup should be slightly faster now, as fewer files need to be extracted.

(BTW: Is anybody else experiencing that SourceForge suddenly takes extremely long, like 5 hours or so, to make new downloads available?)

For what it is worth I have been offered and downloaded updates using LameXP 'Check For Updates' before they appeared on the beta folder list @ http://sourceforge.net/projects/lamexp/files/Snapshots%20%28BETA%29/

That's not a surprise. The auto-update server is completely unrelated to the SourceForge file release system.

And I usually push updates to the auto-update server first, before uploading them to other mirrors. However no updates have been pushed to auto-update since the v4.01 final release.

So all builds prior to #418 should still update #418 (aka "v4.01 final") and later snapshot builds should not update at all, at the time being...

I'm liking the new Lame build 4.01 especially now the "hanging when selecting output folder is fixed" but talking of ogg...

BTW, can anyone explain me why newer Ogg encoders produce significially larger files than the older ones?

I've noticed that when using quality based vbr, the output size of 0, -1 and -2 quality is always identical.

When using abr bitrate, at very low bitrates (32k) speech sounds like it has a tiny but noticeable "echo" to it. Has anyone else heard this? Is there a setting to get round this?

Apart from that - great!

I did not fix anything with that regard. If there was any improvement, then it is because I updated the Qt framework to v4.7.2 ;)

I don't do a lot of ultra-low bitrate encodes, but maybe what your hear is a side-effect of the the latest aoTuV Vorbis tweaks? :confused:

(BTW: Maybe you want to try a Speech-Codec, like Speex, for ultra-low bitrate speech encodes)

I just Updated to the newest Version and everytime i encode with CBR/320kbit/s the Final File is encoded @ 160kbit/s

I tried it a few times but everytime i encode it the 160kbit/s File is the Result

Is this a Bug?

Hard to say, as you didn't even tell us what encoder you were using (LAME, Vorbis, Nero AAC) or at least provide your log :confused:

Please give me exact instructions how to reproduce the problem you have encountered and I will be able to analyze and, if it is a bug, fix it.

(Oh, and it might also be helpful if you tell us how you "measure" the resulting bitrate and conclude that it is wrong)

:thanks: again for all your work.

A few hiccups I’ve encountered.
It ignores language selected on install, does it install by region ? I ask because I have an English OS with a Spanish keyboard and Spanish region selected, I select English, it then installs in Spanish.:confused:

Well, the language you select in the installer is for the install program. It does not (yet) influence the (initial) language of the main program.

The language of the main program should default to your system's language (if we have that language, otherwise English) and can be changed in the language menu.

Making the installer set the initial language would make sense. But unfortunately we have much more main program translations than installer translations...

It doesn’t seem to be importing my old settings, ie. I uninstalled the older version selecting, keep settings. installed newer version and it outputs files at the default installation settings. I then reverted back to the 3.6 final build and all my compression/settings were automatically recognized. I´m also still experiencing a lot of lag when selecting output, ( am I the only one ?) this is also not present with 3.6 final

The configuration is stored separately for each version, as with every version new settings might be introduced, obsolete settings might be removed and/or existing settings might change their meaning. Version 3.xx and version 4.xx use completely different configuration files anyway, as the application has been rewritten from the scratch.

Oh yeh , almost forgot , you asked about antivirus, I´m using Avira.

In my experience Avira Antivir has one of the fastest real-time scanners. Also Avira support responds quickly to report of false positives.

Ps what happened to the floating mines when you click about, and the moving cd. :)

These were cookies (http://spurgo.de/blog/wp-content/cookie.jpg), not mines. The 'feature' was removed to avoid confusion. But I can add something similar to v4.xx :p

New experimental snapshot available:

This build includes a workaround for a regression in latest MediaInfo, as described in this (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1495395&postcount=937) post.
Note that LameXP v4.01 (build #418) is not effected by this problem, because it still used a slightly older MediaInfo, which didn't exhibit the problem.
My workaround doesn't entirely fix the problem. There still can be problems if "\n" or "\r" appear inside meta tags...

Good to see you still working on it (althought I can't imagine what else do you possibly need to improve about this already good program).

And auto-update didn't fetch the update for you? Or did you disable auto-update?

edit: Where are you getting the alpha LAME version from? The latest update on their web was who knows how many months ago.

The LAME project does not release any binaries. Only sources. I check out the sources from the CVS repository on their official SourceForge.net web-site and make my own build.

Another great site for getting pre-compiled binaries of various audio encoders/decoders is Rarewares.org (http://www.rarewares.org/). Oh, and LAME v3.99 is in BETA stage now ;)

For more detailed information you will have to look directly at the CVS repository listing:

(Note that CVS, in contrast to SVN, only manages histories of individual files rather than a complete project history.
Something like 'cvs2cl.pl' may be used to generate a human-readable changelog from CVS hsitories)
