Is AzidGUI dead?

Hi,

Is AzidGUI dead? I cant find it on doom9's download page. Can someone please send it to me?

it's all part of BeSweet GUI now ;)

... pls. dont misunderstand me ... but i'd really prefer to get good old Azid/SSRC/Lame GUI back and have a separate BeSweet GUI in addition to it. Right now the GUI is completely overloaded, most people i recommend to use the program refuse to do it because they are scared by the huge number of options.

As a result i am using latest version of HeadAC3he again ( of course the vorbis support is best of :D ... DA is making us very happy with his modified dll ) and i also find its much easier to convince other people to use it instead of ACM codecs in Vdub/Nandub. The reason is simply thats its much more self explaining and doesnt scare people when loading it 1st time, even if it doesnt give the same options ( who is going to use them all ? ).

I know i am asking a lot from DanniDin, but isnt it possible to have 2 different GUIs to make using them easier ? A lot of the code could be used for both, i am convinced here. On the other hand i see the probs for DD, he has to care about 2 different programs, so i understand his point also.

Personally i am convinced that both programs have a future, and in one way or the other the 'competition' between DA and DSPguru was leading to a very satisfying result for DivX encoders ... there are two excellent transcoding tools available ( both based on Azid, being unrivalled as the best AC3 decoder ) and both are aiming for sligthly different users and purposes .... so what more can we ask for ?

hehe.. I completely agree.. in fact I've asked DD a while back to separate besweet from the rest and create a gui just for besweet. the answer was that he's currently completely rewriting the gui from scratch so that will take a while... vb seems to have reached its limits with that gui.

If there Won't Be a Memory Problem Anymore (Which I Think there ISN'T with the beta On My PC) Does it Matter if I Won't Split the GUI?

I Implemented DPSguru's Idea of Using Forms Instead of PictureBoxes/Frames So at Some Point When I'll Arrange the Code a Little Better the Only Forms in Memory will Be the Ones You See.

It Will Be Easier for Me to Have 2 Modes in the Same GUI:
1. BeSweet Mode: Less Options
2. Old Mode: All Options

In 2 Weeks from Now I'll Have More Time to Add More Options...

The only reason why I miss Azid/Lame GUI is that with BeSweet GUI you're forced to use BeSweet with batch mode. For example, if you want to go from WAV to MP3 using Lame, you'll get BeSweet reading the WAV files and calling Lame.

[DanniDin]

I'll Check it Out When I'll Finish Adjusting the GUI But Batch Mode Should Work With Both:

1. BeSweet
2. Azid/Lame/SSRC/WaveBooster/tooLame
