Using SweetHead with MEncoder in batch
 

@Kwag,

I'm trying to use SweetHead with MEncoder in a batch file. The
problem is HeadAC3he is not automatically getting the destination
file which has the delay as part of the name for .ac3. Below
is an example of this batch:

SweetHeadac3.exe "f:\Temp\*.ac3" "f:\Temp\MOVIE.mp2" Sweet.Template.ini


For input file "F:\Temp\*.ac3" is giving me an error of file not found.
Is there a way to have Headac3he get the input from this directory
automatically. When I rename it to say "F:\Temp\movie.ac3" I lose
the delay setting as part of the file name :)

Why dont u use Besweet??? As it works perfectly together with mencoder.
Packshot i.E. generates a whole bat incl. Mencoder AND besweet commandlines from avob input.

You can start the encode ... and exit it, so u got a tweakable bat file in the "engines" folder.

The next version of Packshot also includes a "commandline" only tab so you dont need to interrupt that process acrivated by packshot.

Re: Using SweetHead with MEncoder in batch
 

You can choice from 2 options.
1 - At your batch file begin, put this lines:
Each time you execute batch file, prompt ask you for filename. You can select from cmd window properties (left click in upper left window side), options tab, quick edit modality. With this option you can copy in your audio file folder, the audio filename (F2, CTRL+C), and then paste it in cmd window just with a right click.

2 - Replace your current Sweetheadac3.exe line with:
Be sure that only one ac3 file are in your temp folder.

Thanks Prodater64 and Inc,

I like this option:
FOR %%A IN (f:\Temp\*.ac3) DO Headac3.exe "f:\Temp\%%A.ac3" "f:\Temp\MOVIE.mp2" -userini Sweet.Template.ini

Headac3he has better sound quality for low bitrate such as 64kbps.
BeSweet can not compare at this low rate. Kwag has done many
tests and the results were Headac3he was the winner!!

Hi BP,

You have to supply the exacty command line arguments that DVD2SVCD uses to call BeSweet.
Then, SweetHead should work :)
And yes, HeadAC3he produces better audio quality than BeSweet ;)

But i think BP is trying avoid to write ac3 name (with delay) each time that he need to convert ac3 to mp2, for automation purposes. Then he need a way to search for any ac3 name in his working folder. But it seems that sweethead don't support *.ac3 as a valid name. For this reason, he need to use the command line that I mentioned before.

If you choose mp2enc as encoder for encoding mp2's it will got the exact same output! as headac3he uses the way azid ...x.x.x.x .mp2enc

Yes, I believe previous versions of BeSweet used 2lame, right :?:
If BeSweet now uses mp2enc, just like HeadAC3he, then it's the same thing :)
I forgot about that :oops:

@Kwag,

This works GREAT!!!, thanks to Prodater64 :wink: My work folder is
"F:\Temp\" for video and audio, so substitute your folder. The settings
in My.Template.ini are set to 64kbs, change to what you need.

Head.bat

My.Template.ini:

Thank you for the credits, but really you did your work better than I said. I gave you a line with some mistakes (now I know it).

BP could you just compare an mp2 encoding done with Headac3he and Besweet set to mp2enc!
As this should result in the same quality as both use the same engines for de- and encoding. If not in besweet is set something wrong.

Just for testing! :wink:

If yes ... you simply could copy the commandline out of besweet and you wouldnt have such a work via templates etc.

Sure :wink: But what version of BeSweet supports mp2enc :?: I use
BeSweet v1.4 for now. :) Here's my commandline:

BeSweet.exe -core( -input "f:\Temp\MOVIE.ac3" -output "f:\Temp\MOVIE.mp2" ) -azid( -c normal -g 0.95 -L -3db ) -ssrc( --rate 44100 ) -boost( /b2=5 ) -toolame( -m s -b 64 -e )

As you see u still use toolame! And that Besweet is more than old! :lol:
Goto DSPgurus page and download the newest beta .. its also included in Packshot.

BTW: Besweet gots a nice more options! Like canging the speet without changing the tone! Do look in the readme and theres the new filter explained.
