BENCOS - Windows and Linux batch encoder GUI - Page 9

celtic_druid · 24th February 2007, 14:21

You can specify a path. Just can't contain a ":". So basically you need to use something like msys or use "%n%string_of_length_n" to escape it. Don't think it works for all options where you can specify paths. Definitely should work for -ao pcm though.

Just a thought, but Bencos allows you to change settings while its encoding, but it won't honor those new settings unless you stop and restart the encoding process.

@CD
Could you give me an exemple please?

@Eretria-chan
Like all my GUI

Should be better in yours I assume.

If I actually can find motivation to finish it -_-
Relying on your GUI is so easy!

Hey, this thing can even encode files streamed through Network! Awesome!
Is that supposed to happen? Mencoder suffered from a access violation, but Bencos continued as if nothing happened. I have yet to see if it was the Network streaming that caused the problem.

Sirber · 26th February 2007, 15:33

What do you mean by network streaming?

buzzqw · 26th February 2007, 15:35

i think capture the internet/network (mms/rtps...) video stream and encode on the fly

BHH

I encode files by selecting them from network (ie, the file is on another computer).
Further update on the problem suggests that it's related to the Intel Core Duo processor since the problem seems to appear even if the files are stored locally.
Yes, the test was conducted with Vista and UAC disabled, but I'm still learning towards the processor. Tested with latest Bencos build. I'll try the P4 package, if I can...

UPDATE: It seems the Debug profile doesn't crash, just as the P4 crash thread suggestion. It would appear it's the same problem. I've applied the P4 patch. Now let's see if it crashes again...
UPDATE2: It works!

Well, you'll be thrilled to hear that it works to encode files through Network.
Hey, what revision of x264 is mencoder using?
Sneaky... Bencos is saving settings somewhere I don't know... I wonder where? I'm too lazy to find out right now.

"Streaming over network ...", lol this is simply via shared directories from what I understand, as in "\\192.168.1.2\mysharedanime\narutosux101.avi".

Streaming would have been mms/rtsp indeed (though that should work too btw

).

Eretria-chan · 26th February 2007, 17:58

Yes, it's via shared directories, but it's streaming over the network. It isn't stored locally--it's sent over the network - hence, streaming. Streaming over network, not internet.

Sirber · 26th February 2007, 18:34

your file has to be "C:\blabla.avi", aka real files readable via cmdline. Why playing with fire?

Eretria-chan · 26th February 2007, 21:14

Because it works. It works very well. Why transfer files and fill the relatively small HD with a lot of duplicate material when I don't need to?

The encoded files are perfectly watchable! So far I've encoded 5 files this way and encoding the 6th file and what can I say? It works very well.
Maybe I should experiment putting the output directory on the network drive as well!

So you see, the files does not need to be "C:\blabla.avi". They don't need to be local at all.
And btw, Bencos works perfectly under Vista with UAC disabled. Dunno 'bout it enabled, though.

Hmm, seems that it doesn't work the other way around. OH well.
Ah! Map a network drive and it works! YES!

Sirber · 27th February 2007, 13:19

just map a network drive...

Eretria-chan · 27th February 2007, 13:24

I just did. It works.

Eretria-chan · 27th February 2007, 18:52

Sirber, can't you just encode audio before video? It makes it easier when the program fails to encode the audio. Saves a lot of time.

no, no and no. already explained that matters a lot, and the last time was 3 days ago, to you.

Eretria-chan · 27th February 2007, 20:16

Don't yell at me! :/ I fear you!
Did I miss it? Or just not remember it? Hmmm. Oh well.
But... can you not simply try to extract the audio with mplayer and see if it fails? I guess not...
I know I mentioned it before, but there's no progress on encoding non-44 KHz sources, is there?

Eretria-chan · 1st March 2007, 18:50

Hmm, are there any plans for "skip if exists" option in the future? I also see that Bencos writes to the user profile (eg C:\Documents and Settings\User\bencos.ini), but I would think it's better fit in %appdata%.
How is the filelist coming? I'd like to add lots of files, but since drag & drop doesn't work and add directory doesn't exist, it tends to become somewhat of a drag...
The ini file doesn't support files either to my knowledge...
How's work coming along? Taking a break or just busy tampering with the source?

First bugreport in a while...
I don't know if it's Mencoder related, but... anyway, here's the deal. The following source:

Original length: 24:05. Encoded length: 45:50! When seeking past the 24:05, I get a crash in libavcodec. The filesize is 110 mb, too big for a 24:05 movie. I'm going to try to fetch a log from the encoding passes and see if anything else turns up...

First pass:
