BeStrip

@maven:
but i don't see why you can't use delphi5 to compile it...)...
Hm, there are certain units and components just not available in Delphi 5.0.

@all:
I have to finish a DLL for work till Wednesday. So I wan´t start my work on the BeSweet Configuration Tab before end of Friday.

So please "nail down" some specs for the Tab. I don´t think that it makes sense to implement ALL BeSweet features. Just discuss which one would be useful.

I´ll use this "specs" for coding the BeSweet Tab.

D$

P.S.: I´ve just thought about one thing: Delphi 6.0 Personal is a no-go for me because I´m using a licensed version of Delphi 5.0 and actually sell compiled code with it (at least my company does). Running Delphi 6.0 Personal and 5.0 Standard at one PC at the same time shouldn´t be possible. At least I think so.

AFAIK, delphi6 and delphi5 can be run in parallel...

[Darksoul71]

Hi Maven !

Thanks for answering !
Have you really tried this ?
I don´t want to risk to mess up my dev system.

[maven]

no, that's why i wrote AFAIK... ^_^

i did install delphi 5 in paralell to delphi 6 (of course everything in different dirs) and they worked fine. i even could run them simultanously. but the delphi 5 bde (database engine) overruled the old delphi 6 one, which didn't work anymore.

to get both versions work with databases you have to install only the delphi 6 one because d6 doesn't work with bde5.

but i did no exhaustive researches of course ...

how come many instances of besweet.exe can run parallel but not besweet.dll?

Argh, forgot the attachment :)

Hi !

I´ve finished the first modification on the VStrip GUI:
I´ve added support for a profile file called BS_PROFILES.INI
A sample text file is included with the source.
All source code was added to aquaplanings BeSweet form/unit.
Is this ok ?
Or shall I make a extra form that is called by the BeSweet form ?

Two more hints:
1) The "Ini" File is not a real ini file. That means: I don´t use TIniFile
to read the values. May be I´ll change that but my small crappy
piece of code works fine enough IMO. New entries can be added to
the BS_PROFILE.INI by hand. Entry format:
Profilename=commandline
2) The OK and Chancel Button don´t have a function call when
you click at them. May be aquaplaning forgot about this ? ;)

Where to go from here (my suggestion):
I´ll add a multi tab component to the BeSweet form (may be
TabbedNoteBook ?) with a sheet for each BeSweet component
There I´ll add all parameters to choose. This settings can be added
to the BS_PROFILE.INI by a button.

OK ? Not OK ? Other suggestions ?

The OK and Chancel Button don´t need to have function calls because they are TBitBtn.
this line in MainForm:
if BeSweetForm.ShowModal = mrOK then ...
shows the BeSweetForm and tests if the OK Button was clicked ...
:confused:

Hi !

I didn´t want to critisize you. ;)
I´m just not used to this way of checking a button.

@d$
please include a compiled version in your archive. i don't have delphi..

[Darksoul71]

@DG: Sorry. I forgot about this. I´ve attached a compiled version in this message.

very nice work so far !!
could you make automatic extension for file according to profile type ?
currently, it's static as 'mp3'.

btw,
beside the BeSweet form, there's more work to do on the BeSweet integration :
a. support for all media types (ac3,mpa,pcm)
b. two-pass gain.
c. support for multiple streams and cell-splitting.

ps
a. what does the 'profiles' button do ?
b. is the logfile switch implements '-logfile' or '-logfilea' ?
c. whenever profile is used, please add to the command line the following part : -profile( [profilename] ). example :
-azid( -c normal -L -3db -g10db ) -ota( -G max ) -ogg( -q 0.200 ) -profile( DSPguru_ogg@90kbps )


Keep it up :D,
Dg.

Hi !

@DG:
could you make automatic extension for file according to profile type ? currently, it's static as 'mp3'.

But how to judge what extension to select ? Should be the extension part of the Profile name ? Like "My profile ABR MP3" ?
This would be an easy solution.

what does the 'profiles' button do ?
Currently nothing ! :)
But I can post again what I have in mind with
:D "THE MAGIC PROFILES BUTTON" :D

Where to go from here (my suggestion):
I´ll add a multi tab component to the BeSweet form (may be
TabbedNoteBook ?) with a sheet for each BeSweet component
There I´ll add all parameters to choose. This settings can be added
to the BS_PROFILE.INI by a button.

whenever profile is used, please add to the command line the following part : -profile( [profilename] ).
Might be a stupid question but what reason has this -profile switch ?

Hi folks !

I´ve just finished my last exams on university and I´m back for developing on BeStrip. At least on the BeSweet config form :)

I´ll release a new version in a few days and hope for feedback.

[maven]

could someone (i.e. mod) remove the sticky?

this thread is getting stale ;)

[DSPguru]

good idea :).

after all, now that we have a built-in support for vobs inside BeSweet, the BeStrip project is sorta dead.

[Darksoul71]

Yeah, remove the sticky tag :)

I must excuse myself for neither releasing the promised new version of BeStrip, nor giving an update.

I´m pretty busy with working on my diploma.

Sorry,
D$
