mp4 Encode and Decode Codec

[Spoon]

Wait a day or so a new mp4 codec is being released, try that one.

[Spoon]

New Beta 3 released, see the updated first message in this thread.

I haven't tried every bitrate but so far so good

What is the advantage of mp4, anyway? (in comparison to mp3, wma, etc.)

[Tomb]

Been using the codec [running win98se and dmc Release 10 (Beta 5)]. All wave files I have converted have clipped at 160kbs. I will try some other bitrates later to see if it happend there. I downloaded the codec today and it still shows as beta 2 - is this as it seems or is it beta 3?

...just me forgetting to update the version text file (I do it all the time).

Error with Monkey's Audio

Hello,
I tried to convert my monkey's audio files to MP4 but there was always an error at this moment :

"Action: Transferring Tag Info"

I hope you'll find a solution.

Thank you for your work.

By error you mean it crashes?

I've tried your the mp4 codec.

Started with a small test .wav file to test the quality.

tried 48k to 512k and lots in between.

Worked fine - but bit rates above about 320k all gave the same sized file.

Every file played back fine and it even played on my friends phone.

Then I tried to convert a 6min .mp3 file to .mp4 to send to the phone, but I got an error about 5% into the conversion.

The error showed up in WindowsXP and forced dbpowerAMP to close. The error was related directly to the mp4 codec.

An .mp4 file was created.

There was about 1 to 2 seconds extra gap at the start of the file and it converted about 2 seconds of the audio giving a 4 second file instead of the full 6mins!

Hope that helps you get some bugs out.

Try converting it to wave first, then to mp4, does it still crash?

[Unregistered]

Yes it does!

made .wav file fine.

Convert to mp4 - same problem!


MPEG-4 AAC Technology has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.


Debug in VC++: unhandled exception in fastenc.exe


Looks like a memory Access violation?


Hope that helps. Sorry about the delay.

Do you want me to send you the mp3 so you can test it?

Its about 5.5MB

I'll upload it and give you a link if you want.

[Spoon]

You can send it to dbpoweramp@dbpoweramp.com and I will pass it onto the creators of fastenc (the aac encoder).

Yes, Windows XP opens a crash window and then closes the converter.

Tagging is not quite right, it cannot be fixed until the tagging system is changed to a new way (waiting on a guy to do this).
