BeSweet encoded Ogg does not play in Winamp 2.80

[tiki4]

Hi,

I've got a question regarding encoding with BeSweet. I did some searches on that topic but I didn't find anything useful yet. So here we go: I ripped a WAV from one of my CDs yesterday with CDex 1.5 beta 3. I also ripped it directly as Ogg Vorbis (CDex uses a vorbis.dll from December (should be RC3). Well, the WAV and the Ogg file played fine in Winamp 2.80.

Then I tried to encode the WAV file with BeSweet 1.3b12 using the OggDS files of Tobias and also the libVorbis.dll from 10th of April. The command line was just besweet -core( -input in.wav -output ogg.out ) -ogg( -q 0.499 ). I was pretty much wondering, but both files crashed WinAmp 2.80 immediately while WMP 6.4 and 7.1 are playing the files just fine. By the way I'm on Win2K SP 2 / DX 8.0a / OggDS 0.9.9.1.

Any ideas are welcome! Thanks in advance. I hope this isn't something well known that I didn't find in the forums.

CU, tiki4

probably bug in postgain support.
let's wait for peter's (in_vorbis.dll author) reply.


BTW - what OS are you using, and which dll crashed (could it be msvcrt.dll ?).

Did you try playing the file using Wave Out instead of DS?

Speaking of gain...any progress with LWING_GAIN support?

please test it.

Oops,

the master himself. I did not use any gain options in my command line. Also I don't know which dll crashed. Winamp just dies away completely when opening the file. It doesn't come up with an error message. It is just Dr. Watson what I see. As I am not familiar with debugging programs and do not know anything about Windows programming I surely cannot make any use of the dump file. Another thing is wave out. As far as I know I didn't try this yet. I'll have a look on that one. I have to change that before loading a file I guess. I'll give it a try this evening.

@DSPguru: The OS is as I wrote Windows 2000 SP2, the in_vorbis.dll is the one that comes with WinAmp 2.80, so 1.2b7. The rest as I said: BeSweet 1.3b12, libVorbis.dll of John33, OggDS 0.9.9.1. Did I mention that WMP can play the file without any problems?

By the way I really like BeSweet very much. You really can do a lot more things than just encoding movie sound tracks. Thanks for your great work and your fast response.

@tiki4
please try again with the new buildOriginally posted by peter
fixed (http://www.blorp.com/~peter/zips/in_vorbis.exe) (i think)


EDIT : it works here.. :)

Hi there,

I'll have a new try with the new plugin this evening. Just to complete that: it also didn't work with Wave Out.

Thanks to all of you. Please keep up the great work...

I think I found the problem:
When I tried to use vorbisgain on an ogg created by besweet using post-gain-feature I got an error that the tag is incorrect.
So I tried to do the transcode manually: Azid, then oggenc, then vorbisgain, voila, now it works with postgain in winamp.

So it must be a problem of Besweet tagging the files incorrect, and not Winamp.


Now we have to wait for this post-gain thing in Tobias' Dshow-filter:p

Actually it works with the new in_vorbis.dll. So I guess the problem was in the Winamp Vorbis Decoder. It worked before as well and I never used any gain features of BeSweet.

@DSPGuru

Sorry for accusing you that error must be in BeSweet, I was wrong, error was indeed in Winamp's Decoder, works now with beta 16.

But why is vorbisgain reporting incorrect tags?
