This is what the GPAC team says about the issue:

Quote:
This is likely a temp file creation issue, this bug has been reported by Win2K and XP users. Unfortunately there is no automatic workaround for this bug, you will hav to specify a temporary directory for file creation:

MP4Box ... -tmp Path/To/My/Dir


Hope this helps

Maybe this helps...?

is it possible to encode the video file only ? I usually need to encode FRAPS content (with no audio) to XviD

But I don't think Bencos will do xvid, or will it? Why not do x264?

xvid is on the way.

If your source don't have audio, output won't have audio either.
To not have audio, bot usre if it works, but set an audio track number that doesn't exist, like 42.

Bencos also fails if there's no video in the file. RA5 works like a charm, though.
Though RA5 used Nero's AAC encoder it seems, and bencos uses enhAacPlusEnc.exe, and I think the later is better?
Well, I'd like to be able to encode even if there's no video stream in the container.

Bencos don't verify the source like RA5 did. It only check if there's audio while performing the video first pass encoding.

Bencos requires you to have a video stream, but audio stream is optional. Use another tool for audio-only recoding, there are plenty out there.

Yeah, lots and lots and lots of time finding plus lots of commercial non-free non-AAC encoding software. Feh.
But, at this time, I guess there's no choice.

Bencos on the contrary of RA is a generic batch encoder )which means it has different profiles for movies, animes, etc...). MPEG-4 ASP is necessary for standalones compatibility and it is still the most used standard on the internet. MPEG-4 ASP is also lightweight and (optimal for low end computers) and it's more appetible for a wider range of users, so it's necessary for a general encoding app to have it.

This seems like RA4/RA5 all over again under a new name, using mencoder. Well, not that I'm complaining. They were good, so this one should be too.

Why would it be? Currently, it's inferior to RA because most things haven't been added yet. And what does BENCOS have that RA does not? The only thing I can think of right now is dvd input and movie profiles. And linux support, of course. Very neat features, and I do hope there's more to come.
But RA had so much more, so BENCOS isn't better just yet...

Now that the biggest problem is fixed, the massive framedrops and gray frames, we can add more stuff to bencos and make it the best GUI ever

Currently bencos handle more inputs than RA5 and is more stable, it also have more profiles than RA4/5.

I snatched the latest build on the site and, aside from the whole can't encode to any other dir than C:\, it looks like it worked. The sound quality was what I tested and there seems to be no delays and good quality @ 24 kbps. Artifacts appeared when using 16, but that's to be expected.
Good work!

@Eretria-chan

Output to F: still fails?

@Amnon82

I'll make the nessessary mod during the week for linux use. Then you'll need someone to compile it.
