YAMB creation completed without work done.. help please?

[LOGiC]

I used MKVextractGUI to demux my MKV file, worked fine. Tried to use BeLight with BeSweet to convert the AC3 audio to AAC, no go. VLC did the trick.

Now I'm trying to use YAMB to mux the AAC and H264 files together into an MP4 file for my Xbox 360. When I have it try and mux, it just says "Creation completed" almost as soon as I click next after adding the files. Any help? Is there something I might be doing wrong that makes YAMB halt?

I have the settings pointing to MP4box.exe in YAMB's folder.

Hi,
Which version of YAMB? Version 1.6 is preferable to version 2 for some people, I use version 1.6 often for iPod compliant H.264. Sometimes it is the .INI file in the YAMB folder that needs to be deleted (and recreated automatically at the next run) especially if the folder has been moved from another installation. Did you install it or are you just running it from a folder?

I'm just running it from a folder. I believe it is version 2.0.0.8

There isn't an .ini file, but there is a .cfg file.

I'll try 1.6.

BeLight/BeSweet also does this when trying to convert AC3 to AAC. Does anyone know of something about my computer could be causing this? I have K-Lite Mega Codec pack installed, could that cause any issues?

Tested with GOTSent 0.23 B8 as well. Same thing. Says complete without any actual finished product.

Hi LOGiC

Maybe the following will help.

I have nothing against K-Lite. Used it for a bit but found strange things happening on occasion. So I uninstalled it.
This is what I have installed, though there will surely be updates.

BeSweetv1.5b31.zip
MP4Box-0.4.3_20060828.zip
http://kurtnoise.free.fr/index.php?dir=BeLight/&file=WA_aac-2.3.zip --> WA_aac.dll copied into the Besweet folder.

Also DOSHERE.INF (see below). Download and unzip to wherever. Right click on DOSHERE.INF and select 'Install' from the menu. This allows you to right click on any folder and select 'Command Prompt Here'.
Now you are able to go to a command prompt in the folder where your working files are located.
CLI - Command Line Interface.

I hope that makes sense.

Copy your video, audio and MP4Box.exe into a new folder.
Right click on the new folder and select 'Command Prompt Here' from the menu.
Type in the following, substituting YOUR filenames for mine.

MP4Box.exe -add "myvideo.h264" -add "myaudio.aac" "mynew.mp4"

Should work with valid input.

BTW this creates AAC audio from ALL AC3 files in a folder. Copy and paste the line of code to a text file (no wordwrap) and save it as AAC.CMD.
Then all you need to do is copy AAC.CMD to the folder containing the AC3 file(s) and double click on it.

FOR /F "delims=" %%W IN ('dir *.ac3 /b') DO "C:\VidAud\Besweet\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "%%~nW.ac3" -output "%%~nW.aac" ) -azid( -s stereo -L -3db ) -dimzon( -dllname WA_aac.dll  -cbr 192 -mode 2 -high ) -ota( -g max ) -ssrc( --rate 48000 )

I refer you back to line 2 in this post.
Maybe you'll just have a headache.

Edit: Change the path to Besweet in the command line to reflect the program location on YOUR computer
