BeSweet - how to use Downsampling (SSRC) and others

[Hironimo]

Hi there.

I was working with BeSweet GUI and there I could not select the Downsampling Plugin SSRC. I only found it as .dll, but the GUI wants an .exe
What's wrong?
Also, what are all the lots and lots of options there if you can't use almost any of them, even if they are marked green (and thus useable)? There is a downsampling option to select 44 khz there also, but no effect. Also if I want to have lame use a bitrate of 44 khz instead of 32 when I go below 128kbit rate it won't work - it does though when I would use lame to encode normally (wav to mp3).

How does BeSweet really work? You can't seem to use most options, including downsampling to mono, neither one of the options for it work, nor the plugin designed for that - for me it crashes, and i heared it would give bad results anyway. It all works though when I use lame seperately.
Could you explain?

I am encoding a 6,8 hour ac3 track, and I DO NOT want to extract it to WAV before - i tried, btw, but the file is messed up - to get good results as I know them from lame usually.

Hope someone can help,
Hironimo

well, I did see that SSRC "under my nose" but I could not figure
out how to tell where ssrc is, cause it wants exe and I can only give him an ssrc.dll

What to do?

check out http://dspguru.doom9.net and read all the info there, in the readme files, and in this forum's FAQ and other stickies.

"i heared it would give bad results anyway."
where did you hear this? In reality, BeSweet gives the best quality possible by transcoding directly between formats using floating point math.
