Error 70: Unable to get bs_m2s.dll interfaces.

Hi!

When using beSweet(GUI) I get the following logfile:

I've copied the bs_m2s.dll into the beSweet directory. Here is my command-line:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
"C:\Programme\DVD2SVCD\BeSweet\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "e:\endeVOB\VTS_02_1.vob" -output "e:\ende\Extracted_audio_1.mp2" -substream 0x80 -logfile "C:\BeSweetGUIv0.5\BeSweet.log" ) -plugin( -name bs_m2s.dll -func simple) -azid( -z1 -b1 -g max ) -boost( /b=5 /l=0.95 ) -2lame( )
-------------------------------------------------------------------


Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

[DSPguru]

replace-plugin( -name bs_m2s.dll -func simple)with-plugin( -name bs_m2s.dll -func Simple )the '-func' switch is case sensitive ;)

Thanx for the fast response, pal. But now I only got the following log:

I tried several streams, with no success. Usually I don't use beSweet myself, I'm a lazy bastard who uses DVD2SVCD :), but since this is a movie with LPCM sound, I have no choice. So please forgive me if there's a newbie error in my command line ;)

[DSPguru]

use vstrip or any other tool (hint: guides) to extract the lpcm stream and then feed it into BeSweet.
another option is finding the file extracted_audio_1.wav which dvd2svcd already extracted..

[mancer]

Okay, case closed (I guess). I thought the plug-in was for beSweet, so I tried to get my .wav-file encoded right out of the .vob. But now since I encoded the .wav that DVD2SVCD gave me again with 2Lame, everything is fine, I'll continue with DVD2SVCD and the correct audio tonight. Thanx for your patience.

I'm also having a problem with BS_M2S.dll - "Error 72: In order to encode a Mono inputfile, download Mono2Stereo Plugin". I have extracted the file in the BeSweet directory and used the following commandline:

"C:\DVD\BeSweet\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "c:\stash.wav" -output "C:\stash.mp3" -logfile "C:\DVD\BeSweetGUI\BeSweet.log" ) -plugin ( -name BS_M2S.dll -func Simple ) -ota( -g max ) -lame( --preset r3mix )

No logfile to speak of because the conversion doesn't start of course :)

[DSPguru]

@milk
you can use v1.3 until i fix this...

[Got Milk?]

Just tried BeSweet 1.3 and I get exactly the same error. BS_M2S.dll is in the BeSweet directory, there's nothing else to do is there?

[Got Milk?]

That worked, thanks a lot. Although I get "Error 47: Error with LAME dll!", could this be due to the WAV being 22.50kHz? It encodes fine if use lame externally.

Thanks again.

I didn't post it before because that was the only error message - sorry. :)

[DSPguru]

judging by the commandline, the only reasonable problem is the 22khz issue.
i wonder if 2lame would accept this..

[Got Milk?]

It's wasn't really a problem, I only had 3 WAVs to encode so I just did it by hand. Thanks again for your help.

[mancer]

Hmm, now I got that whole movie encoded ("Assault on Precinct 13", btw) with DVD2SVCD including the 2 audio tracks I did with tooLame. When I play it with my Creative DXR³ MPEG Card everything works fine, but on PowerDVD XP I get no sound. Strange...?
