Batch transcoding to HE-AAC-PS with this tool

I have a request:

Your build of mplayer is excellent. It is the only one I have found where CPU usage is on par with the official build, and it is up to date, and it is the only one that can properly decode some of my H264 video.

However, the OSD is missing from it. I am not talking about the fancy GUI OSD, but the basic one drawn in the overlay.

Could you please compile it in?

Build 686 is ready for download, with CUE sheets related code rewritten. Now CUE sheets transcoding are more precious, and iTunes and Windows Media Encoder are supported to do CUE sheets to seperate LC-AAC/WMA transcoding.

EDIT: PowerPack also updated, OSD support is built into MPlayer, and MusePack encoder is included.

Love this tool!

Anyone get Nero_Fends to work in the CLI portion yet?  I'm using the following as the CLI Options:

Code: [Select]
aacenc32 -vbr normal -profile "LC" -lowpass 20000 -highpass 20 -zs -artist "$(Artist)" -album "$(Album)" -title "$(Title)" -track "$(Track)" $(SourceFile) $(DestFile)


On another topic, a great feature would be the ability to set the encoder type per group of files.  Say I drag/drop 10 files & want to encode them as both AAC & FLAC, I would see an additional column (encoder type), & I'd have the oportunity of selecting the encoder per group of files.  A new button could be added right next to START called QUE ENC.

Great program. Keep the good work.

I didnt read all the posts, so apologies if im saying have been already said by someone else.

When I transcoded some mp3 albums to AAC v2, some tags just disappeared in the final AAC files. Is this normal? They were all 1d3v1.
Alguém pare o mundo que eu quero descer!!

This program absolutely sucks. I have just installed it, tried to recode many songs files and videos, not ONE of them works.

Well, a possibility exist there is something wrong with your setup or you? Most options that I use work as expected and resulting encodes are fine.
I personally think MediaCoder is a great tool, and it gets only bettter and better thanks to hard and persistent work of optimus.
Anyway, thank you for your contribution to H.A. community through your insightful post.

Edit: Just checked the latest version and indeed there seem to be problems with video transcoding. eg. Xvid with mp3 works, but H.264 is not. However in MediaCoder build 603 both are ok.

I am adding source level interfacing with Nero AAC encoder right now, based on the source code of NAACEnc.
And your suggestion is really good. I will implement it later.

It is possible that I haven't transferred all tags. Currently transferred tags are: artist, title, album, track, genre, year and comment. What tags are you losing?

Man, please be patient. If you want to help, please tell me what are you transcoding and how your set up all the options, and open the console window and give me the console output, instead of just complaining.

I've tested build 686 with H.264, it works. I've tested transcoding a MPEG1 file and an AVI (xvid+mp3) file to H.264 / AAC+ in a matroska. What's your situation?

EDIT: Here are 2 files I tested with.

It has been pretty smooth to add Nero AAC encoder support into MediaCoder. Now MediaCoder can transcode to LC-AAC/HE-AAC with it. Get the update (build 689) here.

Notice:
If you have installed Nero 6 (I haven't tested with Nero 7), simply apply the update and it is ready to go.
If you don't have Nero, you have to get a copy of aac.dll and aacenc32.dll (I don't know if it is proper to include them in Powerpack in the future) and put them in the "codecs" sub-folder of MediaCoder.

Here is a screenshot:

Optimus ~ you rock, that was quick!  Just to let you know, I tried a 24 bit file at first by accident & it didn't work.  I got a .aac file that was all static.  I does work with 16 bit files...outputting out a .m4a file.  Anyway to control the output extension type?

Thanks again!

Man, I've stated that this is a free software totally written by me in my leisure time (the period of time you when you are drunk or sleeping). The main purpose of this software is to fulfill my own needs (and it certainly can), and never yours! Whether it works in your place or not, or whether it just formats your whole hard disk, is none of my business! Keep away from this thread!

Currently 24-bit audio is not supported. As I lack certain of audio source to test. If you have such samples, you can send me and I will let it supported.

There are 24bit FLAC files on the Internet Archive. Just pick some shows from this [a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=%2224bit+flac%22+%22show+details%22+site%3Aarchive.org]Google query[/url]. Hope that helps.

I found the fault!
When i moved the file to default root directory (C:\) and renamed it so that it had no spaces in the file name, it works perfectly.

The cause of the problem is obvious. The command to launch MEncoder lost some quotation marks (will cause error when path name contains white space). It seems that I should thank you to find out this bug, as not everyone will change the path to MEncoder manually. [a href="http://www.rarewares.org/mediacoder/download/MediaCoder-latest.zip]Here[/url] is the update to fix it.
