YARG!!! Yet Another Re-authoring Guide

[BathTub]

Unfortunately it didn't change anything. Thanks though.

Sorry it's not working.  With only one subtitle stream, C0 should be the correct value in the pre-command.

Hey I can live with turning them on manually, it's taken a year to get just this far. Now I will try to get Bourne re-authored sometime this week.

Huzzah, thanks once again.

 Been trying to reauthor Harry Potter, the aften encoder keeps stopping at 82% (about 2 hours of audio).  Tried the default ac3 encoder the comes with besweet and it worked fine...  Is there a problem using aften with files longer than 2 hours?  It worked fine for Star Trek V.

Did STV with the RiffTrax in the rear channels and it worked great, but they seem a bit too far back, with HP I'm mixing the Rifftrax into the center channel  to see if it brings them more into the center of the room.

What version of Aften are you using?  I can't remember which revision it was, but I had a problem with one of the releases and had to back-rev to a previous one.  Or there may be a newer version you could try.  I've never experienced a problem with Aften locking up though.

If they "seem a bit too far back" you probably just need to raise the volume of the RiffTrax.  You can either do this when matching the volume of the RiffTrax prior to mixing, or during mixing when using GWVOICE.  Of course, the configuration of your home theater can also affect the sound.

I've tried putting the RiffTrax in SL, SR & C before but didn't care for the result.

I'm using the latest version that was on the web site last week.  I'm away visiting my dad now so can't check it...

I only mixed in a low level of the RiffTrax into the center speaker and it did bring the guys more into the center, I've got a 7.1 speaker setup so a 5.1 mix puts the SR and SL in the back 4 speakers.

I'm still on revision 561 and have no problems with it.  I tried revision 618 and had an issue, although I don't remember exactly what it was at the moment.  I haven't upgraded Aften since, although it looks like you can get 688 and 703 http://kurtnoise.free.fr/index.php?dir=Aften/.

703 is what I got, the other encoder works fine for my DVD players so it's not a big deal, and there are not that many RiffTrax longer than 2 hours.

What combination of belight and aften do i need or am i missing some other file? I Keep getting this every time i try to turn my wav into ac3.

Download the latest BSN zip, extract the files, and put bsn.dll in the same folder as BeSweet.

[Tomservov2]

Thanks, it worked for my 2 channel but the 6 channel still ending at [00:00:00:000] |  Floating-Point Process: No

[Bairman]

I remember having a problem with one RiffTrax because the total path I used caused BeSweet to choke.  Try shortening the path to your files, and don't forget to edit the paths in the mux file too.  If that doesn't work, post the log file here.

[Tomservov2]

Again you are correct.    I moved all the files to less deep of folders, and shortened the file names to -C.wav, -FR.wav.... and so on.  Definitely a cool way to watch a rifftrax.

Glad I could help.
