you could try updating ffmpeg:
http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ under "32-bit Builds (Shared)"
then extract it to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Bencos\ffmpeg_win32

Thanks for the fast response sirber-san..

[nanyatimz]

?? Hmm. still got an error even I did download the latest ffmpeg.. extracted it at bencos folder but still error..

[Sirber]

mmmm sorry man, nothing I can do. You could go to an older version of bencos. Newer ffmpeg versions seems to have troubles with malformed h264 stream.

new release: http://www.detritus.qc.ca/cms/?p=110

i got same error with this new version.....it unable to encode *.mkv files(ffmpeg error)...but it can encode other video file like *.avi, *.flv but it shows audio error :No valid SBR configuration found

[Sirber]

your mkv has a h264 stream?

for audio what was your configuration (asked codec, bitrate) and the source (codec, bitrate)?

any way to add a text watermark with this program ?

cuz stax is giving me issues right now but this does the job, like so

applyrange(0,250,"Subtitle","my watermark here",5,5,0,99999,"Century",20)

Nope, bencos isn't using AVISynth. The source is fed to ffmpeg directly.

[Mr901]

Oh okay thanks.

looks like bencos thinks your source is 6 channel, while sox thinks it's 2.

please post your issue here:http://code.google.com/p/bencos/issues/entry

as well as the infos of your source.

pls can add an option to use custom settings for encoding?

same link, create a new "feature request"

request added. Is this version of BENCOS GUI support multi threaded?

Well, ffmpeg does.

[MajorX]

when i m encoding with 2-pass the 1st pass runs too slow than the 2nd pass...why? i use Medium present.

mmm I'll verify the 1pass settings

I'm currently upgrading the GUI/encoder to be multi-threaded, so I might not fix bugs or update bencos for a little while.

nice and hope you succeed in it so that i can rest my little program named cyko

and btw if your taking up request once you finish multi-threading bencos then i suggest CRF encoding to be added and FLAC audio encoding with SoX

i know freepascal TProcess does not accept piping but here is a command line im using to encode FLAC audio to vorbis and downmix the channel to mono

sox input.flac -t wav -c 1 - | ffmpeg -i - -acodec libvorbis -aq -1.0 -y output.ogg

and also can you give an option to always encode audio to mono and quality base instead of bitrate? because the lower the audio channels the lower the file size you can get especially when your using quality base audio encoding
