Please ignore me if I have hinder your progress. Thanks.
That's simply how the "Plastique" Qt style looks

I have no control over how the standard controls look in particular. And I'm certainly not planning to write my own Qt style

If you don't like how the "Plastique" style looks, you can switch to "Cleanlooks" or native "Windows" style

Haha, it look nice for me too, just abit uneasy with 3arrows ;p. I thought the styles was your control, not mine. Anyway, this kind of look like "Cleanlooks" to me (not fussy, simple, easy, straight forward, clean look, etc...). Thanks.

Today I managed to create a "static" build. So now have a single "stand-alone" EXE file, just like in the old v3.xx series. Also the "Meta Data" tab has been implemented.

Not yet. But the final version won't have a console (by default), of course

Getting LAME to handle Unicode filenames and tags was harder than I though

Apparently the current LAME v3.98 release version doesn't support Unicode at all (at least on Windows), so I had to compile a LAME v3.99 Alpha build from the sources.

As a result MP3 encoding should work now. But currently only WAV and MP3 files will work as source, as the decoders aren't "activated" yet...

Errrrm....

Any chance you could add AC3 encoding? Best mate!

Should be possible to integrate Aften. But there are many other things I need to finish first, before integrating new features...

Nope, it's not correct. That works for me (tested on WinXP and Win7). I will try to add more detailed error output...

(I have to ask: You are 100% sure your "NeroAacEnc.exe" works?)

That's the upcoming "encoding" dialog. In the current build it doesn't do much yet. It's merely a mockup at the moment

Hmmmm, this hardly makes any sense:

We check first for the existence of the 'neroAacEnc.exe' and only if it does exist we try to execute it

So the only way for this to happen is that the 'neroAacEnc.exe' disappeared during the three nanoseconds between the file.exists() and the process.start().

This of course is EXTREMELY unlikely. So are you sure that you aren't fooled by a buggy A/V software?

(Anyway, I added yet another check that will check for the existence of the file once again after the process failed to create. Just to be sure...)


By the way: Do other features that involve creating a process work for you? What about MediaInfo and LAME?

For example: Can you open files on the "Source Files" tab and get the correct meta info? Can you encode files to the MP3 format by clicking "Encode Now!" button?


By the way 2.0: My main development machine is running Windows 7 too, so this can't be a portability issue either.

Okay, moving towards a first alpha release:

MP3 encoding should work alright now - in the progress window and with multiple instances running in parallel.

Still only Wave and MP3 files will be handled as input. Getting some decoders to work is the next step...

Same here.
LameXP v4.00 TechPreview [Build #50]
WinXP Pro 32bit
And yes, verified the Nero files are in the root folder of Lame XP...
The same files are working with your v3.18 Hotfix-2, Build 88

What is the message after "Error message: "Process failed to start: No such file or directory"?

Also, do you use any A/V software that might mess with the program? And do MediaInfo and LAME fail too or only NeroAAC ???

If this is not caused by third-party software (e.g. buggy A/V software), it can only be cause by a bug in either Qt or the Windows operating system.

However the problem doesn't show up on any of my test systems, strangely enough...

--[EDIT]--

Wait! If you rename the install folder to "C:\LameXP" or something else that does NOT contain any white-spaces, is the problem resolved ???

Darn! I think the mystery is resolved:

There actually are two versions of the QProcess.start() function: One which takes only a single string (complete command-line) and one which takes a string (path to EXE) plus a string-list (command-line arguments). In all places I always used the second one, except for the Nero version check, where I implicitly used the first one, as there were no arguments to pass. Unfortunately it turns out that while the second version correctly wraps all arguments which contain white-spaces into quotes (including the path to the EXE file!), the first version does NOT do so. For this reason Windows couldn't find the Nero executable, if (and only if) the install path contains any white-spaces. I will now enforce the use of the second version also for the Nero executable and the problem should be gone once and for all...

(BTW: Of course on my test system I always put the executables into "C:\Test" and thus the problem never showed up. That's life.)

And yes, Lame encoding is doin fine.
Dont know about Mediainfo because it is icl11. I highly doubt it is working on an old Athlon.
How to verify?

That's sussed it

Placing the LameXP folder in the "C:\root" area instead of within the "Program Files" folder solves the Nero exe issue...
