BeSweet: runs endlessly, no progresss..?

[dust12]

Hi all,

I installed BeSweet yesterday in order to convert a NTSC-Fillm MP3-track (23.976fps) to MP2 (Xvid to SVCD). The program startet, initialized, and then I only saw a line "[00:00:00:000] transcoding ..." printed over again and again (always timecode 0), but no progress was visible and the output file, while created, didn^t grow in any way. I saw 2 processes running, "BeSweet.exe" and "csrss.exe", each eating about 50% of CPU time. After about 10 hours (which should be plenty of time to encode a 90-minute WAV-file) I stopped the process and retried, this time just creating a wav (no MP" encoding, but 23.976->PAL transformation), same problem. this is the log file I finally got (2 runs):

My hardware is a P4, 2.4GHz, Gigabyte 8PE667Ultra motherboard, 845PE chipset, 512MB DDR, and I got the GordicKnot codecs installed.

Thanks for any help, and sorry if this is a stupid question (I'm new to BeSweet :-)

omitting the "-ssrc( --rate 44100 )" will do the work.
can you give-up the need for downsampling ?

[dust12]

Thanks, it's really working now... what's the problem about downsampling? Maybe there's another thread about it? Anyway, I can do the downsampling in a separate program, if it's needed at all. Thanks for the info!

i believe it has trouble doing the 2 changes at once, the framerate, and the resampling. but i bet you could use BeSweet again to do the resampling once you've done the framerate change.
