BeSweet: runs endlessly, no progresss..?

Hi all, I installed BeSweet yesterday in order to convert a NTSC-Fillm MP3-track (23.976fps) to MP2 (Xvid to SVCD). The program startet, initialized, and then I only saw a line "[00:00:00:000] transcoding ..." printed over again and again (always timecode 0), but no progress was visible and the output file, while created, didn^t grow in any way. I saw 2 processes running, "BeSweet.exe" and "csrss.exe", each eating about 50% of CPU time. After about 10 hours (which should be plenty of time to encode a 90-minute WAV-file) I stopped the process and retried, this time just creating a wav (no MP" encoding, but 23.976->PAL transformation), same problem. this is the log file I finally got (2 runs): BeSweet v1.4 by DSPguru. -------------------------- Using Shibatch.dll v0.2 by Naoki Shibata & DSPguru (shibatch.sourceforge.net). Using lame_enc.dll v1.28 (4/6/2002), Engine 3.92 <>. Logging start : 11/21/03 , 20:04:52. D:\Programme\BeSweetGUI\BeSweet\BeSweet.exe -core( -input e:\nemo.wav -output z:\nemo-New.mp2 -logfilea D:\Programme\BeSweetGUI\BeSweet.log ) -ota( -r 23976 25000 ) -ssrc( --rate 44100 ) -toolame( -m s -b 224 -v 5 -e ) [00:00:00:000] +------- BeSweet ----- [00:00:00:000]

omitting the "-ssrc( --rate 44100 )" will do the work. can you give-up the need for downsampling ?

Thanks, it's really working now... what's the problem about downsampling? Maybe there's another thread about it? Anyway, I can do the downsampling in a separate program, if it's needed at all. Thanks for the info! dust
