MP3 or FLAC to AC3

[Placio74]

When open file, change file type.

Required source filter/plugin should be set automatically.

Or after adding a file set source filter/plugin (WavSource or RaWav or DirectShowSource).


With Avisynth set as source, BeHappy expects 'ready to use' .avs script.
With other, BeHappy uses own templates and make 'temporary' .avs script.

I've done like you said but the same error (

It's different error...

Can't start encoder: The system cannot find the file specified

Unpacked from archive and copied aften.exe file to a /BeHappy/encoder/ folder?

[Benjy]

I feel I go crezy ((

Do NOT work (((

I think is working good....I'll inform you after whole converting...
THANKS anyway !!!!!

[Benjy]

THANKS my friend for your patience with me
I obtained from a 3,9 Gb file a smaller one , of about 197 MB which is very very good...
I've already overlaped it on the movie and work nice...
This is MY first try...I hope the future ones would be the same ,succesfull


Many THANKS to the admins of this site / forum ,too , especially to Baldrick !!

I'll remain a permanent user of your site....Is very usefull !!!

[Benjy]

OMG...I must come back(
seems to be the same trouble :
the same error:
< Starting job sound.wav->sound.ac3
Error: BeHappy.AviSynthException: GetChannel: Attempted to request a channel that didn't exist!
at BeHappy.AviSynthClip..ctor(String func, String arg, AviSynthColorspace forceColorspace, AviSynthScriptEnvironment env)
at BeHappy.Encoder.encode()>

Unfortunatelly I don't know to interpret/perform such an error...

Placio74 will you help me again ???
here are the technical details of new file :
Format : Wave
File size : 2.10 GiB
Duration : 1h 5mn
Overall bit rate : 4 608 Kbps

Audio
Format : PCM
Codec ID : FFFE
Codec ID/Info : Extensible
Duration : 1h 5mn
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 4 608 Kbps
Channel(s) : 2 channels
Channel positions : Front: L, R
Sampling rate : 96.0 KHz
Resolution : 24 bits
Stream size : 2.10 GiB (100%)

What is now necessary to do working it ???

thanks !!

[Placio74]

GetChannel: Attempted to request a channel that didn't exist!

BeHappy can not find channels to downmix, because...

Channel(s)                       : 2 channels
Channel positions                : Front: L, R

Now you only have a stereo (2 channels) in source audio - no need to downmix (don't use Downmix option).


BTW
For 6 channel audio is also no need (if of course convert to audio format that supports it - AC3 for example).
Just 8 channel is problematic (supported by E-AC3, TrueHD and DTS-HD audio formats).

[Benjy]

here is the new error , after passing by Downmix :

Unsupported sampling rate for AC3 audio (too high).

Use Resample SSRC option and set 48000 Hz.

sorry for double post (
Now , AGAIN , works )
You are really a proffesionist !!!

but do not forget: this BeHappy gave many times errors...
must be stopped , or closed to start again without errors...

above item itself is not a double post ,but the error which gave me after I made the settings you specified, and when the same command had not been taken...

only the third time it started and worked normally..

Thanks a lot...I hope not disturb you any more in the future
