BeSweet CLI Parameters
 

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>

no xml
 

use BeSweet's listfile feature.
two examlpes can be found here :

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++?)
