Winamp AAC commandline encoder

Re: Winamp AAC commandline encoder

--mp4box does work, you have to have mp4box.exe in there with it

dimzon made a new frontend for the new enc_aacplus.dll from winamp 5.2 beta, there is an LC option, but seemed to be an upgrade to the rewritten frontend (he lost his hard drive and lost the source to the frontend that you used.. the one that works better)

i agree that it would be hard for n00bies with all the options, I had done the list-of-all-valid-options once, it took a while to get them all (longer options.txt file and a headache :p )

I think the best way to handle the options mess would be to have a real winamp encoder plugin, which calls the dll's config gui and all that...
{heads over to the wishlist}

Ah, yes. I'd forgotten that. Thanks.

Damn. You actually got a mail back from him ?
Can he rewrite the code ? With hypnosis maybe ?

no... he mentioned it on hydrogenaudio or doom9... or both

Re: Winamp AAC commandline encoder

Dimzon recently published an enc_aacplus.exe in the Behappy workspace :

http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/workspace.aspx?id=1bb59ddf-901b-43a5-bd54-b0999e8e223e

but the conversion gets stuck when I try encoding a wav file.
I think he included some code (enc_aacplus.cpp) for making the exe.

unless he updated it in the last week, then its the one i was playing with earlier... which is based off the rewrite, which doesnt work with piping :(

enc_aacplus.exe is designed to work with pipeline (it reques Riff WAV header to be sent in stdin too)

Re: Winamp AAC commandline encoder

The compilemaster himself has joined us.
I'm honoured but still stuck with my encoding test.
I've used a regular small wave file to encode in this fashion :
enc_aacplus - test1.aac --cbr 48000 --chmode 4 <test1.wav
The wav file is saved with goldwave as a "signed" stereo wav file.
Does this mean the "Riff WAV header" isn't included in the file ?

Can you provide minimalistic wav (less than 1MB) for testing?
You must provide 16 bit stereo PCM wav file!

Re: Winamp AAC commandline encoder

I have 3 wave files for basic testing :

http://home.versateladsl.be/dirkvl143/test1.wav

http://home.versateladsl.be/dirkvl143/test2.wav

http://home.versateladsl.be/dirkvl143/test3.wav

All are below 1 MB.
Commandline used is
enc_aacplus - test1.aac --cbr 48000 --chmode 4 <test1.wav

Thanx for having a look.

Re: Winamp AAC commandline encoder

And this one works !
And it's beautiful. Now you can select --lc for higher bitrates too.
Commandline bliss...

But making a plugin is driving me crazy.
Every dll I use seems to produce a specific header (or maybe even none).
The previous aacenc.exe could handle it with the --rawpcm option,
but this encoder takes only neat waves with header, so just copying it in the conversion folder isn't going to cut it.
I tried [ForceCDQuality] in the options file, but no luck.
Anyone got an idea ?

Re: Winamp AAC commandline encoder

i'm planning to add rawpcm and other options a bit later

Re: Winamp AAC commandline encoder

If you can, don't add the header (is using the stdout version of the generic CLI, as the FAAC mp4 encoder does), and specify the bits, channels, etc on command line with

[SamplesPerSec]

[BitsPerSample]

[Channels]

Re: Winamp AAC commandline encoder

[WriteWaveRIFF]
doesn't work with this one either :(
untill --rawpcm is back, it prolly wont work with piping.. at least as far as DMC is concerned.

@dimzon
you rule! keep up the great work
the LC option is nice... but what about an option to use the 'high bitrate' encoder? and how about adding the resample option to set the encoder samplerate, instead of forcing it to use the same samplerate as the input?
