BeSweet BUG: Clicks at end

[frank]

1) The addition of silence works, but with output to mp2 / mp3 you'll get only noise (period = 25 ms) rather than silence!

2) At conversion to wav or aif you'll get a short noise (buffer empty problem?) at end of silence insertion.

3) There is no entry in the logfile for ota( -e ...) param setting!

[DSPguru]

thank you for the input. will check that out whenever possible.

please post any existing logfile.

[frank]

Uff, there was no issue in the logs, I deleted... :(

[DSPguru]

@frank
are you a programmer :) ?

[frank]

Hey DspGuru, what about the nice param -ota( -e ... )??
In your last release is doesn't work anymore:(

Other bugs:
1) If you create wave-mp3 WITH downsampled bitrate (44.1 kHz) the inserted WAVE-headers are wrong. WinAmp and VirtDub play it as 48 kHz.
(higher tone)

2) GUI bug: parameter Alt Preset cbr 128 --alt-preset "cbr 128"The inserted "" by GUI must be deleted and it works.

BTW I love beer more than programming...;)

RC2 delay bug (-d/-e) is confirmed and fixed in RC3.

alt-preset cbr issue is fixed with beta49.

frank sorry, all works fine here!
i would need your logfiles..

[frank]

Great news :)

For the noise bug I will test again.
My OS is Windows XP, may be there are some issues.

Sorry, the noise issue is even there.

Test environment:
- Windows XP Home Edition
- BeSweet v1.3RC3, GUI 0.6b50

Tested with batch file because the GUI doesn't support the ota( -e ) param.

I have tested a lot of combinations, but same procedure as before. It seems there is a problem with the channel connection of the modules.

[frank]

Conversion of a WAV created with PowerDVD's DS filters worked fine.
Here the batch file I used:

"d:\DVD\AudioTools\BeSweet\BeSweet.exe"
-core( -input "i:\DRIVEN\drivds1.wav" -output "i:\DRIVEN\drivds1.mp2" -2ch )
-ota( -d -79 -e 8000 )
-ssrc( --rate 44100 )
-2lame( -p 2 -b 192 -e )

This combination with WAV is not possible to set in the GUI. GUI BeSweet option reads AC3 files as source only. :(
GUI batch encoding takes much more time because of 2 runs.

tested with batch file because the GUI doesn't support the ota( -e ) param.you could use the yellow freetext textbox to add your own parameters ;)

i'll keep you updated if i find anything, but it would be hard to fix a bug i can't see.

[frank]

Oh, tnx for pointing me to the yellow box. :)

Now I realized: The ota error appears only with ac3 decoding!!
May be Azid doesn't complete the last frame? Or buffer of last audio frame must be filled up with Zero? I'm sure Azid's output is the reason.

Transcoding of waves is ok.

[DSPguru]

i tested it with ac3...
anyway, will give it another shot.
