DAudioK - 0.1.9 beta



PURPOSE:

This software is designed to convert audio files between different formats.

This is the first real beta release… so at this point you can only convert MP3 to AMR, MP3 to AC3 and you can resample MP3 files. You can select a segment of the file and encode it (just because someone asked me that to make mobile phone ringings :0)

All the tools needed to make it work are included on the installation pack and they are (at this point) ffmpeg.exe, mediainfo.dll and AviSynth 2.5.6 that will be Installed if not detected on your system.

Please, inform me about any problems and/or bugs you may find.
26th March 2007 - v.0.1.9 beta

* Added the option to export de encoded file to the same folder of the original file just leave the option "Same Output Folder" checked.
* Fully translated to English.

-------------------------------------------------------------

A very special thank you goes to my wife, my son and to my daughter... they
are the "main victims" of the time I spent developing this tool :-)

Thanks to:

* Desassossego for the all beta testing.

* Another special thanks goes to Xena for all the testing, patience
and tips along the way (past, present and future lol).

* All the AviSynth development team.

* To Fabrice Bellard the creator of FFMPEG

* To all the FFMPEG development team and all that contributed for its
evolution and improvement.

* To Jordan Russel, the creator of InnoSetup.

* To Zenitram creator of MediaInfo

NOTE: THIS IS A BETA SOFTWARE… THAT MEANS IT MAY HAVE SEVERAL BUGS AND GLITCHES… IF YOU USE IT YOU ARE AGREEING THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO LOOSE YOUR PATIENCE AND INSULT THE DEVELOPER… JUST DON’T TELL HIM ABOUT IT :0)

------------------------------------------------------------

Instalation Pack (Suggested) - 6.26MB

Content:

* DAudioK Executable.
* Documentation (readme.txt and LGPL.txt).
* COMDLG32.OCX
* MediaInfo.dll.

No... I thank you for testing...

The functionalities are reduced at this point... I just released to track Interface problems and to get some feedback... I'll be on vacations shortly so, I'll have more free time to develop this.

I'm doing it just for the fun... I never used any software to convert audio... usually I use WMP to rip my CDs to HDD with MP3 format and that's it.

I never payed attention to audio convertions until the day I bought an MP3 player that also supports WMA

When it comes to stuff like this... I amuse myself doing it... not using other software.

If you do a search for my nick on this forum, you'll see that I never got into audio.

anyway... it's another alternative...

keep it UP

Ah! yes... you are right... I keep thinking that AviSynth is not completly explored by users... it has so much potencial but it remains a secret for most of people.

Actually no
Both BeHappy and MeGUI use it for audio processing. It's really sweet

Yes... after your first post I made some took a look at your threads and I saw that

When I said that I was talking in a general way... I know that there are many applications that rely on AviSynth.
I started one sometime ago (SynthEditor -that is on a standby due day work... I'll resume it shortly) that will be completly dependent of AviSynth... and I just started it to explore all (as possible to me) the potential of AviSynth and yet... keep it a simple application.
You have to agree with me if I say that most of the tools seems to be designed for "professionals"... that makes AviSynth a complete "mistery" for the common user.

keep it UP

AvisynthWrapper also is an AvsRedirect Clone ...
Qenc also does read Avidata via the Avifil API architectural solution like CCE or Vdub ... ,
so whats the issue on this ?

DAudioK v.0.1.3 beta

25th September 2006 - v.0.1.3 beta
  • * Added "Portuguese" language. You can set your prefered language on the
  • Setup dialog (Menu "Tools" -> "Setup")
  • * Added the possibility to choose the path to ffmpeg executable on the
  • Setup dialog -- this will give the possibility to use different versions.
  • NOTE: This software has been tested with the ffmpeg.exe included on the
  • Installer or the RAR package... if you're going to try a different version
  • I can't garantee that it will work.
  • * Now, all the option selected will be saved. Next time you start the
  • application, the options will be set to your last selections (I hope :0))
  • * Added a "Tags Display" feature. The data will be used to pass the tags to
  • the newly encoded file... on the previous releases the Tags were lost. You
  • can change the tags of your target file if you change the data before
  • encoding. The tags will be saved using the ID3 v 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4.
  • (ID3 tagging module by Mathias Kunter (www.magic-tagger.com))
  • * Some minor bug corrections.
  • * Some minor cosmetic changes

2nd October 2006 - v.0.1.4 beta
  • At this point you can convert between MP3, AC3, MP2 formats, you can convert WMA to MP3, WAV to MP3, MP2 and AC3, MP3 to AMR and you can resample MP3, AC3 and MP2 files.
  • Updated the Installer so now it has an "Update Only" option -- you can select the "update" option on the top of the "components selection" dialog.
  • I removed the "'X' to 'Y'" modes -- what was I thinking?!?!. Now you just have to choose the output format... this is really beta, but it seems to be working fine. I haven't tested it on a completly "clean" system, 'cause I don't have one :0)
  • Made a few corrections on the MP3 Tag module. The "Genre" was being tagged wrong and there was a conflict between versions that could make some software not recognize the tags correctly.
  • Added a routine to correct the extension if you change the output format after setting the "output file" -- the extension will be changed according to the new output format.
  • Added a "File Exists" warning that shall popup everytime the Output file name already exists.
  • Added a "check for new versions" feature -- you can access its definitions on the Setup dialog -- this feature only accesses a remote file to get the latest version number... no data from the local system is collected or sent.
  • Fixed a Bug on the AMR Bitrate combo introduced on version 0.1.3 beta
  • Some minor bug corrections.
  • Some cosmetic changes.

Thanks for the new updated Avsynth based audio transcoding tool! Beautifull interface it is.

Considering it being Avisynth based, I am a bit curious about the limitation of the i/o formats.
I guess the tool is using the Avsynth's input filters & id tag reader/writer routine together.

Any plan on supporting more input formats & cli encoders in addition?
This might interest some more user groups.

Regards,

Well... at this point AviSynth, is not that much used... I'm using it just for "directshow" WMA files and for the cuts... in the future AviSynth will assume a much more important role.

I'm using madiainfo.dll to get the original tags from the input file 'cause using it I can get them from all formats. The Tags are written on the output file using an internal module... you can read about it on the change log.

Yes... all I can get
My next step will be decoding to WAV-PCM, transcoding to WMA and ACC.
At this point I'm using FFMEG (WMA will be supported through Microsoft's Encoder, of course) 'cause it is easier to begin with... but in a near future, I'll substitute it with more suitable "stand alone" encoders (ex. Lame) introducing some more advanced features.

Forgive my poor English... I hope that you understand what I'm trying to say
If you have more questions, I'll be glad to answer.

thank you for the interest and kind words.

Hi bro(by the name..) Rockas,

How can it be clearer and grassier than that.. mine's already defeated.
By your kind encouragement, I tested some AC3 transcoding with a 6ch speaker test wav :

. You are already using the ffmpeg.exe cli. The VERY OPEN Aften.exe cli (development) will be a good stable add-on for ac3 format.
. the encoder pops up another cmd window, 'minimize' or 'launching into a process-log window' might be more stable looking
. the ac3 channel order seems different. I believe decoded channels should be placed in the correct (extended)PCM structure.(check the Aften thread)
. maybe we can override the output file name
. some (raw) out formats do not support the ID Tag feature, so the editing tab can be disabled accordingly.
. the avsredirect.dll currently has a 'limiting to 16bit integer', you might want to test 'releasing' it or adopting other approaches
..

Overall, it seems very dandy working with some exceptional proven features(ID Tag, Cut), very promising..keep up the good sharing.
Another impression is you are s/w-career oriented with some long good practial audio user experiences(but with yet-dandy-terms as I am, if you pardon me).

We(the average anonymous users) can discuss some more features from time to time(can't be DEDICATED to it by nature).

/Cheers.

Hi bro(by the name..) Rockas,
lol yes you are right... almost the same lol

The main problem is that when you work alone you simply don't have the time to check "it all" ... and I'm doing this on my free time only and this has nothing to do with my profession so... it's hard but gets easier when I get feedback like yours. As soon as I get the WAV, AAC and WMA outputs ready, I'll go out for more solutions... it won't take long... a couple of days, I guess.
About the channel order... I had the same problem with QuEnc (ffmpeg based, anyway) some time ago but I managed to correct that with an AviSynth script, but as I said, as soon as I can I'll look at Aften. About the Encoder pop-up... I'll take care of it right away.

Quote:

forgive my poor english... what do you mean by that?
If you maintain "to same folder" checked, you don't have to choose an output file... the new file will be created on the same folder as the source file but will have the word "konverted" at the end of the original file name. If this isn't what you meant, then please forgive me.

Quote:

fair (and correctly stated) enough

Quote:

hmmm... there we go again... my english ain't that good lol
Let's see... I'm a CAD/CAM systems programmer and furniture designer... my graduation is on Archeology (yes... I still have the hat and the wipe - is this correct? - but I never had a dog called Indiana)... so I spend a lot of time on audio experiences lol lol lol ... just kiddin'
In fact I had several rock bands and I'm a guitar and drums teacher and most of all, music is an hobby and I use several programs and lately, I make a lot of convertions between formats that's why I started this app... I want my own program just for the fun of makin' it
Anyway... as I said, I didn't (fully) understand what you meant

Again... thank you for your kind words and suggestions.

Thank you for kindly asking the clarification for which in fact seems because of my unclear words.(a born teacher...)
Yes, we can also rename the 'konverted' suffixed file name in the command shell anyway.

The other thing is, I was totally wrong. I supposed somehow the other way around. I've never imagined a dinosaurs holding a guitar on a fossil stand in a classroom sometimes hitting a white keyboard at night in a 'Rockas Software'.

I will test the upgrades...

DAudioK v.0.1.5 beta

4th December 2006 - v.0.1.5 beta

First of all, I'm sorry for such a delay on a new release... my day job got pretty complicated on the last couple of months so my free time was really short... anyway... I think I'll manage to keep the updates on a regular bases at this point.
Thank you for all the support.

As always... feedback is more than welcome.

  • Added WAV and AAC output formats.
  • Added an "Abort" encode button... as it says... aborts the encoding process.
  • Changed the default MP2/MPA bitrate to 224kbps... sorry about this one, I simply didn't noticed (Copy/Paste mistakes :0$). This is no big deal unless the user is a beginner and wants to make audio for VCD, SVCD or DVD... in that case, 224kbps is "suitable" for all.
  • Corrections on the translation routine -- some items didn't got translated.
  • To avoid unauthorized translations of the interface, I've introduced a routine that will re-write the language file everytime this application is started. If you want to translate the program to your mother language, please contact me through daudiok@gmail.com or rockassoftware@gmail.com, I'll be extremely glad to accept your contribution and you'll get the credits for your work printed on the Software Interface.
  • Added a "Vista" option under Setup dialog. That option can be used to adapt the main window size to the new "Vista looks".
  • Some minor bug corrections.
  • Some minor cosmetic changes.
  • Updated Translation routine for the new features.

PS.
@Rockaria
Sorry... some issues pointed out by you aren't corrected, yet... I'll take care of them on the next release... hopefully, this time, it won't take long.

hi Rockas.

i know a long time your dvd-rb installer/interface and now DAudioK...very cool work.
is possible in the future versions encode .wav to ac3-5.1 using aften in DAudiok? (i really will)

so much for the news!

Yes... it is on my TODO list.
As I said above, I restricted myself to ffmpeg on the first releases... my next step will be WMA encoding... after that I'll be working on individual availabe encoders such as Aften, Lame, etc.
I'll be working on some more formats as OGG, Nero, etc.

edit: by the way... i'm hoping that it will be possible not only WAV to AC3 through Aften, but all the other formats as well... I really want to make every kind of convertions between the file formats available on the application... I guess that will be possible using AviSynth as much as I can

thanks for the kind words.
