Problem with BeSweet/BeLight. Trying to batch convert Ogg Vorbis to ac3.

[rayden54]

I've got a bunch of Ogg Vorbis audio files, and I want to convert them to ac3. I haven't found anything thus far that's able to do it. I'm mostly interested in figuring out what's wrong with (or what I'm doing wrong with) BeSweet, but I'm willing to look at other solutions.

I started with were ogm files. I batch demuxed them with OGMcleaver. It gave me avi video, two ogg vorbis audio streams, and two srt subtitle streams.

Here's what happened when I tried to convert the files with BeSweet. The Command Line pops up for about a second, and then nothing. There's no output file, and the log is completely blank. The command line probably shows an error, but it's gone before I can read it.

I've tried demuxing the audio with VirtualDubMod, but it doesn't help. I've opened the ogg file with audacity, and it appears to be fine so I don't know what's wrong.

Hi.

Try something like this.
The pause will halt the batch file and give you time to read.

Needs https://www.videohelp.com/tools/Aften
and http://kurtnoise.free.fr/index.php?dir=BeLight/&file=bsn_20070513.zip
Put them in the BeSweet folder.

for %%a in ("*.ogg") do "C:\VidAud\Besweet\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "%%~dpna.ogg" -output "%%~na.ac3" ) -ssrc( -rate 48000 ) -bsn( -exe aften.exe -b 256 )
pause

Change the path to reflect the location of BeSweet on your PC. Save the two lines of code to a text file. Call it something exciting, like test.bat.
Put it in with the ogg files & double click on it.

Alright. It didn't give me an error message. I still have no idea what's wrong.

Hmmm.
Let's try later ogg codecs.

The site is Japanese. These are the ones I use.
http://www.geocities.jp/aoyoume/aotuv/binary/vorbis_dll_aoTuV_b5.61.zip
Unzip and copy to BeSweet folder, overwriting all.

Try again.
p.s. '@echo off' will tidy up the screen output by NOT echoing the command line back at you.

@echo off
for %%a in ("*.ogg") do "C:\VidAud\Besweet\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "%%~dpna.ogg" -output "%%~na.ac3" ) -ssrc( -rate 48000 ) -bsn( -exe aften.exe -b 256 ) 
pause

Using the above batch file I got this result.
I notice the version for Ogg Vorbis is incorrectly displayed.

The archive you gave me seems to be invalid or non-existant, I'm not sure which.

Right Click on the link:
'Save Target As...'

[rayden54]

I did. It appears to download instantly, and then when I try to open it, it says the archive does not appear valid.

It's probably because I'm looking at it from a different angle. (Down Under. geddit? geddit?)

Try this.

Yeah I get it.

Yay!! It worked! Thank you.
