BeSweet AC3->MP3 Mono garbled sound

[didi666]

Hi,

I got a strange error here:
converting the Flash Gordon (1936) AC3 track which is 2.0 channels with mono content to a mono MP3 file. Standard cmdline with BeSweetGUI was:
--
"C:\Programme\GordianKnot\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "e:\FLASH_GORDON_1\VIDEO_TS\flashgordon_1 AC3 T01 2_0ch 224Kbps DELAY -40ms.ac3" -output "e:\FLASH_GORDON_1\VIDEO_TS\deutsch.mp3" ) -azid( -c normal -L -3db ) -ota( ) -lame( -m m -b 64 -p )
--
Result is completely garbled. However I noticed while testing various settings that at the start of encoding the mp3 sounded correct and got broken while doing the "asserting gain".

So to correctly encode, I had to use "-ota ( -g 0db )"!

Something wrong with the gain-function? I use BeSweet 1.5b18.

this is now fixed in BeSweet v1.5b20.
anyway, if you don't feel like re-encoding your mp3 from scratch, you can download BeSplit v0.9b6 and use the following command :
BeSplit.exe -core( -input "e:\FLASH_GORDON_1\VIDEO_TS\deutsch.mp3" -output "e:\FLASH_GORDON_1\VIDEO_TS\deutsch_GAINED.mp3" -logfile "e:\FLASH_GORDON_1\VIDEO_TS\BeSplit.txt" -type mp3 ) -ota( -G max )


btw,
for the future.. please read the BeSweet FAQ. you'll see how you should submit bugreports.

Cool, many thanks!

Ah, okay. I was just not sure if this really was a bug. I just thought maybe I missed something obvious to set or configure... I did not get the encoding of the b/w picture right the first time either ;-)
