DSPGuru,
Do you suppose its possible to make Besweet process script files in addition to the CLI interface, for those of us who prefer to use scripts over GUI's :)

Something like a -f switch that will process a special script file (say .BSI files) that will have an XML style that is more comfortable. For now I simply write dos .bat files with the correct CLI, but it’s a bitch to look at as it is all in one text block, Something like:

<core>
<input>
"M:\Process\FELLOWSHIP\FELLOWSHIP.ac3"
</input>

<output>
"M:\Process\FELLOWSHIP\FELLOWSHIP.ogg"
</output>

<logfile>
"M:\Process\FELLOWSHIP\FELLOWSHIP_BeSweet.log"
</logfile>
</core>

<azid>
-s stereo
</azid>

<ota>
-norm 0.97
</ota>

<ogg>
-q 0.500
</ogg>

yes, well the fact of the matter is that the file addresses are much longer in my case, and I get a 4 line CLI, and I cant put a new line character because BeSweet doesn't like it, and I end up with a very very long CLI...

I don't like GUIs and I like to keep all the scripts I used for past encodings, this way if I have a movie that has the same qualities as something I did in the past, I can reuse the scripts with minor changes.

Don't get me wrong, BeSweet is great for use with CLI, but I wish the scripts would be more readable.

If I implement the parser, will you consider including it? (Is BeSweet C++?)
