hi
may i know the meaning of the asterisk in some codec ?

for example itunes aac

[ozok]

They mean that these codecs requires additional software to be installed to function properly. I was writing an help file for TAC and those asterisks were part of this plan. Needless to say I didn't finish that help file.

hi Ozok
thanks
even fhgaacenc.exe or neroAacEnc.exe do they need components ?

i have and i want to keep 0.9.7 built 3835 , because only fhgaac fraunhofer have an asterisk

[ozok]

nerooaac itself must be in the program folder, I cannot distribute it. But it does not need other software.
fhgaacenc needs winamp to run. It uses a dll that comes with winamp.
Qaac need itunes or applesoftwaresupport installed. There are ways to overcome this, for example, you can extract necessary dll's from itunes setup and copy them to qaac folder.

I suggest you update to 0.9.9. There aren't many differences in TAC code between 0.9.9 and 0.9.8-0.9.7, but most of the backends got updates and improvements.

yes i would like to update
but after i can't use fhgaacenc or quaac ,it will be a big problem
i mean i like TAudioConverter because it's a beautiful software and i don't like itunes or winamp (i don't want to install them ), i use foobar

but does TEncoder Video Converter need software to be installed like TAudioConverter ?

[ozok]

No, TEncoder does not require 3rd party in order to function.

All the versions of TAC require these 3rd party tools, including 0.9.7 that you are using. You probably have the dlls required by those backends placed somewhere. So updating to the latest version shouldn't make any difference. You can use portable version to test two versions in the same PC without a conflict.

As @loin2kolpotoru said this bug is fixed in beta releases, located here: https://bitbucket.org/ozok/taudioconver ... /downloads but thanks anyway. I've commited many changes to source repo but I can't find time to release a new beta or stable version.

BTW how should TAC handle temp files on portable version? Currently it uses host system's temp folder but some users want it use its own folder. I'm afraid this will slow down encoding. What you guys think about it? Should there be an option to switch between these two options?

Cheers.

hi
may i ask you a question?
will you develop TAudioConverter too ?
or will TEncoder include all the TAudioConverter feautures ?
would be amazing have discoGs tagging and a burn engine , but i guess it too much
thanks ozok

[ozok]

@giulia two projects are completely different, combining them into a single project would mean a re-write. I have several ideas for TAC but none of them are small so any change or improvement I can think of requires time.

I have no problem with the system TEMP drive but I'd suggest the ability to pick your temp folder is ideal for speed reasons. I for example have a system on a magnetic drive but I could push the TEMP folder to an external, high speed flash media to speed encoding on major operations. Similarly, some systems just by virtue of USB 3.0 have a faster run speed external to the local hard drive. This is again unusual but it would be an argument for a temp file in the local folder.

I think few users would really utilize this for anything but fairly intense operations so I'm not sure this is a critical feature. I certainly wouldn't put this at the top of your list.
