Batch Ogg encoding

[alex jackson]

Hi all

I am trying to figure a way of batch encode wavs to oggs. I have made a .lst file (below) which I got from the command line in OggMachine for encoding a single file:

-core( -input "E:\temp\Track 1.wav" -output "E:\temp\Track 1.ogg" ) -ota( -d -80 ) -boost( /b=2db ) -ogg( -q 0.100 )
etc...
...
...
...upto Track 10.wav

Unfortunately don't know much about Besweet so can anyone help me out with the next step?

with listfile you'll merge N wavs into 1 OGG.
if you want to transcode N inputs to N outputs, you should use the batch processing of BeSweetGUI :).

Thanks DSP.

Got it sorted now.

uhm...

as I had posted some weeks ago, I had the problem of not being able to set all the vorbis options in besweetGUI's batch mode.

I solved the "batching problem" in another, quite simple way:

1. set up oggmachine for the first file
2. copied command to clipboard
3. pasted command in a newly created batch file
4. set up oggmachine for the second file
5. copied command to clipboard
6. appended command to the batch file

okay, when encoding many files this can be annoying, but imho it works fine e.g. for encoding two languages of a movie's audio.

Yeah I agree this is fine for a few files. I am putting a load of music on my hard disk at the mo so I am talking about more than 20 tracks a time which would be a bummer to do mannually.

By the way, what quality setting do you think sounds equivalent to a 128 kbps MP3?

0.2?! then which mp3-quality is equivalent to 0.35?!
'cause that's what i'm normally using for movies...

look at the bitrate predictor in OggMachine/BeSweetGUI.

[NetSoerfer]

this one?

thought that's the effective bitrate the vorbis file would finally get...

so did i get you right - it's just a hint which mp3 bitrate the quality setting equals?

hmm, i guess it's equal to 160...
