CLI Encoder How To?

Re: CLI Encoder How To?

What error messages are you getting?

There should have been a help file installed along with the CLI codec. Check the Help folder in the "dBPowerAMP Music Converter" start menu folder.

Re: CLI Encoder How To?

Also can you give us some idea of what configuration options you set in the CLI encoder?

These two threads are somewhat related:

I would like a full refund on my purchase. Support is weak at best and I hardly consider a message board a decent arena to receive "support". My order # is <removed> I can provide further information via PM to the appropriate person. Thanks

Need help using CLI with LAME.exe - dBpoweramp Forum

I'm a registered user of dmc 11.5. I'm considering upgrading to dmc 12 PowerPack, but I have a problem with using CLI and LAME.exe. I had no troubles using the CLI with 11.5. This is the command line I used: [inFile] [outFile] -V 7 --vbr-new --strictly-enforce-ISO For dmc 12, I read the CLI encoder help file and the

I answered that lame could not handle floating point data, so do not use the high quality decode switch.

Is it possible to imbed the folder.jpg into each converted file when using the command line encoder, and LAME.EXE?

If so, what is an ideal image size for album art when using an iPod? is 150 X 150 pixels enough? I think the screen resolution is 320 X 240.

Re: CLI Encoder How To?

With an iPod, I think 150x150 is plenty, as it scales the image down anyway.

Thanks, so is there a way to convert from FLAC to LAME MP3, but then embed folder.jpg into each of the MP3s, so they show on an iPod?

Re: CLI Encoder How To?

Currently the FLAC codec for dMC doesn't support album art. You can right click and "Edit Tag" on these mp3 files and add the album art in. However, apparently you have to add album art one music file at a time with dMC.

[Bringing this thread back on topic]

OK, I unchecked the box "Highest Quality Decoded Source" and tried again, but again it gave no errors but wrote a 0K file.

I unchecked all boxes "Highest Quality Decoded Source," "Pass Wave Header," and "db Write ID Tags", but again it gave no errors and wrote a 0K file.

Does anyone have any idea how to use the CLI with LAME.exe?

Re: CLI Encoder How To?

What commandline are you using for the CLI codec?

Re: CLI Encoder How To?

Here's the command line I used for dmc r12:
-V 7 --vbr-new --strictly-enforce-ISO [infile] [outfile]

See my original post for everything I've tried:

Re: CLI Encoder How To?

Why do this with the CLI encoder when you can already do this through the built-in LAME encoder in dBpowerAMP? As far as Spoon has informed me, the DLL uses --vbr-new and strictly enforce is one of the advanced options available.

Other than this, I cannot see anything obvious that would cause issues. Have you tried with double-quotes (") around [infile] and [outfile]... maybe it's the actual paths that is causing the CLI to hiccup?

Like cub4life78 said in the first post of this thread, I want to be able to experiment with different switches in lame that are not supported in the GUI. The command line I gave is just an example. Also, I want to experiment with the 3.98 alpha builds of lame that are obviously not official.

That said, I experimented with the quotes as you suggested, and found the solution. If cub4life78 or anyone else interested in using CLI is reading, here it is:

"[infile]" "[outfile]" -V 7 --vbr-new --strictly-enforce-ISO

Just substitute the part that comes after

"[infile]" "[outfile]"

with your experimental switches.

Thank you, Deano, for your responsiveness.
