They are indeed. 100% CPU use.

Cool! Maybe I could use that build in default setup...
It seems to use SSE/SSE2 too even in "cpu detection mode".

Hi Sirber! I'm amazed with no delay conversion of Bencos, now I really trust on outputs and don't open them to see if they're delayed, thank you for that. Btw, why?? Is there something to do with new enhAacPlusEnc?

Lastly, I've noticed you added "Fix levels" to your GUI, how it works, compared with ffdshow? Is it something like Levels(16,1,240,0,255) (avisynth tv->pc)?

I get many tv levels encodings in my country, so It's my only big worrying when encoding (I've posted some screenshots in my topic about this here).

I'm very curious about many functions BENCOS has (and could come to have). Maybe it's asking too much, but I have the excuse of user feedback then it would be great if you write a readme (maybe hints too!) explaining its functions and what the filters you added do with the configs you used when adding, so we could really understand them. Yeah... very great!

Btw, my latest findings!

- Add a lot of files to the playlist in Vista and no file will get added. Works fine in XP.
- You can remove the currently encoding file from the playlist. It doesn't screw up anythng, but it's weird.
- Sometimes files fail to encode when both height and width is not multiple of 16. x264 fails if I'm not mistaken. But using resizing to fix that works.
- Sometimes it says corrupt source. I haven't investigated those files yet, though.

New encoding chain. Bencos doesn't use DirectShow or VFW decoders, everything is done with mencoder and mplayer. With the help of many people now it's working relativly well

Code:
if (chkFLevel.Checked) then
      sOptTmp := sOptTmp + ' -vf pp=al:f ';
from manpages:
Code:
al/autolevels[:f/fullyrange]

automatic brightness / contrast correction

f/fullyrange: Stretch luminance to (0−255).

I'll make a readme someday, when bencos gets more stable. I'm still not finished with all the features I want / need.

Try to remove the .manifest from bencos folder. Could be UI problems.

Yes. GUI and encoding chain are separated.

Yes, but x264 should warn not fail. Look in the logs panel.

When mencoder gives me "Error decoding frame" I cancel the recoding. Too much decoding errors will produce audio / video delay.

It doesn't work. Maybe there's a bug somewhere

If width or height is not dividizable by 16 (only one), it spits out a warning. If both are not dividizable by 16, it fails. So I've noticed. The logs confirms this.

So I take it, when it says "Source Corrupt," it means there are undecodable frames, ie a damaged source file?

In case you wanna play with bad sources

Yes. You can try to fix or use the newer bencos build. Be sure to check your output for audio / delay or other issues.

I have to say wow...
Bencos gives such perfect quality to high-quality sources at even such a low bitrate I'm impressed!
Now how about that DVD input and subtitles? ^_^
Looking forward to a release with any new features. Take your time!

I didn,t have news about Sharktooth in a while. Code for subtuitles is half done

Question!
When encoding, does Bencos downsample 5.1 sound to stereo? If not, then 32 kbps would be far too little!
I also wondered about the profiles. Sharktooth made the non-anime profiles, right? I just wondered how they were aimed - for high bitrate or low bitrate encodes? I was testing at encoding a DVD movie, and found pretty sweet around 1000 kbps with few artifacts and no artifacts I could see at 2000. That's just initial testing, though.

enhAacPlusEnc.exe supports higher channel count from what I judged from its command line, but that would require higher bitrate. 16 knps per channel is the sweetspot, I think, since 32 kbps for stereo is good.

IIRC I downsample to 2.0 Not sure about the quality though.
you can see what I do when I extract audio, in the logs panel.

I haven't looked at those logs, but it should be easy to add a feature for compressing multi-channel audio, would it not?

maybe I could look in mencoder logs for channel count and set enhaacplusenc... but it would be far in the todo list.
Proper subtitles support and DVD input would be more needed

If not otherwise, we could manually set the channel count, since this is just an argument passed to the encoder, no? Maybe you could add such a small thing for now until proper support can be added?

A manual channel count and higher bitrate for sound might be a good idea when encoding 5.1 or higher sound? For special encodes, so to speak.
It should be farily easy to add. No needing to log in logs for channel count and things like that (though that would be cool).

so 2.0 source will be upgraded to 5.1? Best solution is by using source info no?

Sure it is, but as you don't have high priority on it right now, then a small workaround would be good, hm? Just an option among everything else, so my 5.1 source can be encoded properly.

...Terrific. Guess I'll have to encode the audio separately. Guess we'll see if Bencos can handle sources without audio.
