Optimus, please please help. Now it says it is encoding and I also get the message encoding completed but the aac output file shows 0 kbps. I don't know why this is happening. It takes it's time while encoding and says encoding completed still I don't get the file. Of course some times is gives the same error: "Error starting encoder".

What decoder and encoder r u using and what type of file are transcoding?
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=331885"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

The MPlayer decoder does not work. I get the some error like disable runtime in mplayer. So I tried the Winamp input plugin decoder. I am trying to convert pcm wav files (16 bit 44 KHz) to aacPLUS v2 24 kbps. In the dos prompt it says winamp input plugin decoder open and also winamp aacplus encoder open and shows encoding but the final file is still 0 kbps. I think it looks like a decoder problem. Please help.

I use the 0.2.7 build 179, and the WinAmp (v5.1 Surround Edition) plugins for en/decoding

Is it possible to have this tool hosted in Rarewares? Maybe it's just me, but I seem to be having trouble downloading from the cosoft.org address. Thanks.

I would like to, but how?
At this time, u may try downloading from the mirror site.

btw to all: tag transferring is under development after i found some really useful stuff

Optimus, am I right when it appears mEnc can have APE as input but it isn't mentioned in the opening post?
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=333203"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

I'm trying to transcode DivX/AC3 to DivX/MP3, using stream copy and Lame. There's a problem with the -ovc switch but as I don't speak mplayer/mencoder natively, I don't know what's the matter.

Speaking of other bugs, I never succeeded in outputing a single MP4 file. Mencoder crashes or mp4box says there's errors in file type. I meanly try with xvid or divx (mpeg4 like) and aac+v2 or helix or faac. Damn...

Please try setting container format to "Default", and choose a proper video codec.

MP4 container now only works for audio only transcoding. I haven't yet found a workaround for this.

I don't want to reencode the video, just the audio. Isn't it possible? Setting container to Default yields to the same error.

Too bad... I make my mind that MEnc would be the perfect tool to transcode video clips or films in MP4 format for my phone.

Yes, that is because I haven't yet tested with APE input, though I've included in_ape.dll in the package.
Now I'm announcing that APE input is working and also in the latest PowerPack (build 211), encoding to APE (for CD ripping or transcoding from other lossless formats, e.g. WMA lossless, FLAC etc) has become possible.

To transcode audio only from a video file, set "Video Codec" to "None" and set "Container format" to "Default" and choose whatever audio encoder u want to use.

As for MP4, I will look for a solution. And I'm going to add more features for mobile transcoding.

thx optimus, the WMA (lossless) files don't crash MEnc anymore,

but I just can't get the tag transfer to work. I've enabled it in the settings, but the tags still don't appear in the resulting files. I've tested it with mplayer as decoder, lame as encoder (mp3 -> mp3 transcoding); mplayer shows the right tags in the console, but the lame.exe call doesn't have the tag parameters.

I need to clarify. 
I have an AVI file with video encoded in DivX and sound encoded in AC3. What I want is to keep the video stream as is (i.e. no transcoding) and reencoded the audio stream in MP3, then I'll have an AVI file with the original video and sound in MP3 format.

I hope I won't be kicked...  

Using build 220, when I try to encode an AVI file (from a VOB) with Xivd and Lame VBR, it says: "The selected container format does not support the selected audio format".

And ".zip" is missing at the end of your link for the 220 build...

No audio encoder (-oac) selected. Select one (see -oac help) or use -nosound.

Hello,

Just nothing. When I try to encode MP4 files (video+audio), and yes I know it doesn't work  , there's a little problem in your mencoder script. It's shown on the console :

Code: [Select]

No audio encoder (-oac) selected. Select one (see -oac help) or use -nosound.

If the audio is encoded before the video and it generally is, mencoder doesn't need audio data, hence the need of the '-nosound" switch. Or perhaps you want a different behaviour of scripts...

hi optimus,

build 221 crashes with WMAL again
and now I have tag.exe in the tools folder, but the tags still don't get tranferred (tag.exe can read them in the source mp3 files if I call it in the command prompt).

and your CVS isn't up-to-date either...
