BeLight 0.22 beta 8 released

[DSP8000]

What da f^?! just happend:devil: ?
I wanted to download the latest belight from corecodec web site and picked up Trojan Dropper:angry:
Even if I disable my firewall and enable cookies I can't acsess the site.
Is there any miror for the latest belight versions?

[Kurtnoise]

A Trojan ??? :scared: I don't know why but here (http://kurtnoise.free.fr/BeLight-0.22_beta1.zip) is a mirror.

I just downloaded all available BeLight Versions from Corecodec and the one KurtNoise mirrored:
Just checked with two different scanners.
No Viruses or whatsoever.
So I think it's false alarm.
Which scanner gave you this message?

Cheers

[DSP8000]

Tnx. Kurtnoise13, the miror is fine :),
I'm very careful with my security settings, I'm running hardware firewall with NAT, Zone Alarm, Protowall, FireFox, and Symantec Antivirus with today's updates.
As soon I disabled everything today and went to the corecodec web site, Symantec popped up with a message "vtzx.exe Trojan Dropper"
I did full scan after that and everything looks fine, so I don't know what happend.
Anyway, keep up the good work, I like the new features.

well I think this is the first and I really wish I could give more information but unfortunaely no error logs were made because it was so sudden.

after encoding of AAC completed you have to press the green arrow to go back to the main screen. well I hit it and then blamo access violation and for only the 3rd time in the 3 years I've had this computer I got the blue screen of death.

Here are my system specs if that might help

Pentium 3 Mobile 1.13ghz
256MB SODIMM DDR 133 mhz RAM
32MB nvidia geforce2 do
20GB Hitachi HDD
Crystal Audio Sound

I also got this error message the very first time I tried the new beta

Violation d'accès à l'adresse 004A4DFC dans le module 'BeLight.exe'. Lecture de l'adresse 000002FC.

the second time I tried it I got the much worse BSOD and then a system reboot. any ideas?

[ChronoCross]

oh yeah and it also ignores all AAC encoding settings. no matter what you use for bitrate it always ends up as 56kbps audio.

using oagmachine and the offical setup screen for nero audio it encodes it at the proper bitrate settings.

[Kurtnoise]

I like the blue screen of the death...:D

BTW, I fixed this error. So, be patient to have a new beta or try to use a *stable" release (0.21).

[Elias]

When uninstalling the Nero package 1 and 2 (the demos), the latest alpha doesn't work without it for AAC encoding, even though I got all the dlls in the right folder and everything. However, the latest stable release does work with AAC encoding.

[azsd]

switch to aac tab,Check the [x]Profiles(HEAAC),and close belight,then happy to see

This bug has been corrected...Give me just few days to release a new one.

[azsd]

and with 0.22 beta 1 when I add ac3 and select convert to wav,
it has an progressbar quickly go to filled full (there two labels showing 0%).
and wait some minutes,they fill from null fo full second pass.

is the problem been reported?

yes,playable.
just means the progressbar gone full in 6sec,and progress label still freeze on %0.
this ac3 file was ripped from Gundam seed episode 24,77M,2ch,24min07
and i have an ac3 that has right progressbar as progress,but at end 100% of 2nd pass get an error message:"Transcoding aborted",the result wave were comletive too.
7M,2ch,04min55

yep...bug fixed.

[aliumalik]

Feature request (maybe call it bug fixing).

If I transcode file.mp3 (128k) to file.mp3 (64k) belight should first write a temp file something like file.mp3.tmp and when the transcoding is complete delete original file.mp3 and rename file.mp3.tm to file.mp3. Right now if I do such a thing a 0 byte file is generated.

Add GUI options for permanent command line switches like -noid3 and removing the -logfile switch.

Thanks and keep up the good work

After every other start I get the following error:
http://www.schudy.de/corel006.png


STEPS I've done:
"Fresh Install"
Start BeLight
Click on Presets -> load AC3 Dolby WAV 5.1
Close BeLight

When I now start BeLight it crashes. Perhaps some problem with the ini files since nothing else changed?

Huh I suddenly started to get this error out of no where. Though I didnt touch the AC3 tab only mp3 :S

Can you explain why would you like to have a such feature ?

It could be dangerous to delete original file if you have miss something in the command line...;)

goes to "Advanced Settings" and uncheck the appropriate checkbox. :)

[aliumalik]

Originally posted by Kurtnoise13 [B]Can you explain why would you like to have a such feature ?
because right now it generates a 0 byte file and maybe you could add a prompt asking whether the file should be over written or not.


Can you make the advanced settings store in a file also like the codec setings...like if I select disable log file it is always like that and the file can have a text entry like "logfile=0"

Bug Report:
when I add a file.mp3 and select bitrate etc in the mp3 tab then I edit the command line to change file-new.mp3 to file2.mp3 and run it instead of using file2.mp3 it still uses file-new.mp3 as the name of the file.

After clicking run the command like window doesnt disappear which I think should happen.

Just a question wouldn't it be better using the besweet.dll instead of the exe?

mmmh ok...but I'm not convinced. I put your idea on my todo list...maybe with reflexion I could add it.

already existing...:) It's BeLight.ini file into BeLight folder.

ok...I'll fix it.

because it's easier for me to code with the exe...:D

[aliumalik]

Aah then another bug report BeLight doesn't remember old settings. If I uncheck "output logfile" encode a file and then restart belight the checkbox is again which should be unchecked.

because it's easier for me to code with the exe...
Aah that is true...I am not much of a coder but I have seen that using external exes causes more problems than using libraries...but it works alright till now so no complaints here

Another request when "Restrict encoder to cbr" is checked the bar in mp3 tab should move in jumps i.e from 64 to 128 to 160 to 192 (just like mp2 tab)... right now it works ok if the slider is around the bitrate but seems slightly confusing.

A request for the future...I think this should be targeted at the BeSweet author but using the tag library from http://www.neilpopham.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/tag.html tag retention could be added.

yeah, it's much more for DSPGuru...BeSweet is closed source.

[Zyphon]

Hi Kurtnoise13,

I just discovered you GUI by chance seeing it in your sig and I went to check it out.

I must say I was really impressed with it and have now switched to your GUI.

I find the default BeSweet GUI a bit mind boggling and confusing at times but your one is easier on the eyes and far better laid out and easier to get to grips with for noobs.

Great work I wish you luck with furthur development and improvements.

Keep up the great work. Love this GUI. :D

[silasaul]

Let's speak a little french : "Beau travail et merci encore !!!" :D

[Kurtnoise]

:thanks: I'm preparing to release a new beta very soon...I hope next week later.

[guada 2]

I am with you wholeheartedly.
Goodbye my friend "KURT". ;)

[Kurtnoise]

You are not my friend buddy...:sly: Try to learn english first. :D

[LigH]

So let's add a little german:

"Ich freu' mich drauf!"

(I'm looking forward to seeing it soon.)

Nothing really fresh to add here, just wanna say: I can confirm this.
Source is ac3, producing aac.
At the end it says "Transcoding aborted" in info field, but the resulting file plays fine so far, correct length.
If possible in any way, the "pregain" progress should be indicated as such, or as a job itself. It was confusing that at first both the current track and total progress bar quickly reached 100% and then restarted while as seen below the total bars percent indication shows o% all the time.
Apart from this, great job, Kurt!

Yes I know...it can be confusing. I parse only the duration from the CLI that's why we have this problem but I'll try to tweak this.


Sorry for the delay concerning the new release...I try to add lst & mux input files and it's not easy with the new batch mode.

[MacAddict]

Apart from the bug that you have already fixed above, I only have one other problem. I get this error when I launch beta1 on 3 different machines here. It appears to be an access violation? It appears twice in a row, I click ok for both and then Belight launches and operates smoothly:)

Picture attached waiting for approval.

[Kurtnoise]

If you are talking about the access violation, yeah it's fixed. I was busy with other things these days. But now, I've much more free time to continue the development.

[MacAddict]

Screenshot was never approoved so lets try this again. Nice to hear it's already fixed too:D

Access Violation (http://img2.echo.cx/img2/8260/av3uw.png)

[katana]

Hi,
Apologies if this question has been posted before. I am using Besweet 1.5 b29 Belite gui 0.21 on Win ME.
The start button doesn't appear at 800x600 screen resolution, so I can't begin encoding. Have to change settings to 1024x768.
Is there any way around this? I have 15" monitor and want to use 800x600 not 1024x768.
Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

[Kurtnoise]

Hi,

Try to use the last beta/alpha versions instead of the 0.21.

[Bluedan]

I know your main interest currently lies in developpment of YAMB, which is a nice GUI also.
But I hope you will continue on this one.

There's a bug in the recent version: manual delay settings (not via file name detection) doesn't seem to be considered while the command line does contain the corresponding switch.
I was trying to transcode wav->aac.
The same procedure worked with BeSweet GUI v0.7b8

[Kurtnoise]

Yeah...I'm work on it. 2 projects in my head...:rolleyes:

Is it the lastest beta ?

[Bluedan]

Since march 15th there is no other... ;)

[nexus]

I hope nobody mentioned it before:

If I manually edit the delay it is correctly shown in the command line (see picture) but obviously not used.

delay.jpg (http://www.bugie.de/delay.jpg)

The log file:

BeSweet.exe -core( -input ac3 t01 3_2ch 448kbps delay 0ms.ac3
-output ac3 t01 3_2ch 448kbps delay 0ms.mp4 -logfile ac3 t01 3_2ch
448kbps delay 0ms.log ) -azid( -s stereo -c light -L -3db )
-bsn( -6chnew -vbr_streaming -aacprofile_he ) -ota( -d 0 -g max )

Anyway, it's a great GUI: When do you release the next version?

Yes, I know.

When ? I don't know exactly because I'm rewriting some parts to fix bugs. Maybe this week-end or the next week...Much more free time could be great too. :rolleyes:

[Kurtnoise]

Some news....I'm still there and BeLight development is not dead. ;)

I put online a version with installer (http://corecodec.org/frs/?group_id=45&release_id=76) (BeLight 0.21 + BeSweet 1.5b29 + dlls updated).
input dts files is almost finished (see picture).
I added a lst writer (see picture).
mulltilanguage support has been completely rewritten.
last thing : I need to finish & fix several bugs before to release a new one...

Thanks for your patience...:)

Hiho,

nice preview! I can´t hardly wait to hold this thing in my handy ;) :p :D

[Backwoods]

No reason for anyone getting upset over a language miscommunication.

[nexus]

Some news....I'm still there and BeLight development is not dead. ;)Great to hear! :goodpost:

Anyway, i think i found another bug. Just for the case you don't already know it:

If i first set the settings for a 5.1 AAC file and then open the file i wanna transcode, acid settings are reset to the default value "-azid( -s stereo -c normal -L -3db )"! It doesn't matter if i use the preset or set it manually, it happens in both cases.

If i first open the file to transcode and afterwards set the settings, everything works alright.

*in anticipation for the next (almost) bug-free version* :D

[Kurtnoise]

yep...fixed. ;)

[jp80]

Hi, Kurtnoise13

First I'd like to thank you for your great Besweet GUI!
Then I wish to know about its option to output in 5.1 ogg:

-Is it the same than "FL, C, FR, SL, SR, LFE" , "FL, FR, C, LFE, SL, SR" , or "FL, FR, C, SL, SR, LFE" in 5.1 ogg with latest besweet GUI v0.7 b8 ?

-Is it the same than 5.1 old or 5.1 new in Oagmachine ?

[Kurtnoise]

Then I wish to know about its option to output in 5.1 ogg:

-Is it the same than "FL, C, FR, SL, SR, LFE" , "FL, FR, C, LFE, SL, SR" , or "FL, FR, C, SL, SR, LFE" in 5.1 ogg with latest besweet GUI v0.7 b8 ?
No, it's not the same thing. In BeSweetGUI you can choose the channels ordering for vorbis 5.1 streams. I'd recommend you to keep the first one.

-Is it the same than 5.1 old or 5.1 new in Oagmachine ?
Nope...this concerns the choice between the old and the new AAC Nero plugins (see Q21 from AAC FAQ (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=68300#post424070)).

[drob]

Kurtnoise13 great work on the GUI, few minor issues, if you could squeeze the file input area it would fit much nicer into 800x600 resolution.
can you add a more specific progress information, the way it is given by BeSweet, like transcoding, encoding and the progress of timeline.

[Kurtnoise]

Try the last beta release...it's little bit buggy but you can see the progress, etc...

[drob]

do you mean 0.22 beta 1 ? i did i saw the progress bar which is great, what i meant was the actual running numbers like you get from the BeSweet command line.
