BENCOS - Windows and Linux batch encoder GUI

Sirber · 23rd December 2006, 19:16

Bencos is an easy to use Graphical User Interface (GUI) for Windows and Linux to convert big video files into smaller files using standard codecs. It's mainly aimed for japanese animated content (anime) but it can encode general files too.

Sirber · 23rd December 2006, 21:38

Be sure to set the right FPS in the Settings tab. *

Forgive me for asking this. I have yet to use this software but i really like to know whether or not I can use nero aac with this software? And how do I install it on linux e.g: Ubuntu or Mint.

Currently there is no Linux build. It is possible to compile it using Lazarus (linux version) then set the correct path to the different encoders. I don't have linux currently installed, but I'll add this to the todo list.

Looking forward to try the linux version to see if the speed increase for x264 (plus nero for audio) encoding for my video worth the migration to linux (from Vista Business 64bit).

Does nero encoder works under linux?
All you need is mencoder, mplayer, neroenc, mp4box and faac.

Source?

please post more infos when you report bugs. Just saying that doesn't help.

Kayser · 24th December 2006, 03:42

Cool, I'll try it and post feedback tomorrow

... Thanks for the work Sirber, Damrod and Sharktooth.

killerhex · 24th December 2006, 04:26

source

mkv[AVC]720x480 16/9 anamorphic
[dual audio]audio vorbis 2ch 48hz
english
japanese

im encoding to mpeg4 asp+AAC LC 128kbps preferred audio :english

and why does bencos has both

enhAacPlusEnc
faac

Sirber · 24th December 2006, 14:47

Where can I get your source? And what was your settings?

enhaacplusenc = AAC HE+PS
faac = AAC LC

Sirber · 26th December 2006, 18:24

found bugs regarding to subtitles.

my version: 2006-12-26

i get the error "Couldn't open input file audio.wav" on encoding a .mov file when AAC LC is selected with uncompressed audio. from the logfile:
Opening audio decoder: [pcm] Uncompressed PCM audio decoder
AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16be, 1411.2 kbit/100.00% (ratio: 176400->176400)
Selected audio codec: [pcm] afm: pcm (Uncompressed PCM)

AAC HS+PS works fine, but 32kbit/s is not enough

also, the "about" tab is empty

it would be very nice, if bencos would find out the FPS itsself

what about support for audio with more than 2 channels?

I'll look about LC problem.

Nope. I don't have any encoder for that.

mael · 26th December 2006, 22:54

thanks for the support

maybe take a look at the nero digital aac encoder, it's free:

Sirber · 26th December 2006, 22:56

free to use, not free to bundle and doesn't work on linux.
