this file lists all switches of Overall Track Adjustments for BeSweet v1.4.
beware : switches are case-sensitive.

Usage :
BeSweet -core(..) -ota(..) -azid(..) -shibatch(..) -boost(..) -lame(..) -mp2enc(..) -ogg(..) -split( .. ) -plugin( .. ) -ac3enc(..)


Dg.


-d
---

Default: 0

This sets the delay (in miliseconds) to be added to output.
values can be negative or positive.

-d auto, is a special switch for automaticly asserting the A/V delay. (only for VOBS)


-sc
---

Default : Not used.
this sets the minimum resolution of samples for Delay assertions.


-e
---

Default: 0

This add silence at the end of the encoded track.
values are set in miliseconds.


-r  [destination] [source]
---------------------------

Default: not used

This sets Frame-Rate-Convertor ratio.

common values :
  for NTSC2PAL (23.976fps to 25.000fps) use "-r 23976 25000"
  for NTSC2PAL (29.970fps to 25.000fps) use "-r 29970 25000"
  for PAL2NTSC (25.000fps to 23.976fps) use "-r 25000 23976"


-fs
----

Default: not used

This forces value to Source Sampling-Rate.


-g GAIN
-------

Default: 1.0 (or 0db)

This option controls the overall track PreGain. The value can be given
in db's (by specifying "db" after the argument) or a positive numerical
value. Examples: -g -3db, -g 5.3, -g 6db

-g max, is a special switch for finding maximum gain. (Normalize)


-norm VALUE
-----------
Default: not used.

This option is an alternative to "-g max", and can be used to set gain of a track to a lower value than its maximum.
"-norm 90%", for example, will normalize a track to 90% of its maximal gain.
"-norm 100%" is equivalent to "-g max".


-G GAIN
-------

Default: 1.0 (or 0db)

This option controls the overall track PostGain of encoded MP3/OGG. The value can be given
in db's (by specifying "db" after the argument) or a positive numerical
value. Examples: -G -3db, -G 5.3, -G 6db


-G max, is a special switch for finding maximum gain. (Normalize)


Important :
------------
"-G" switch differs from "-g" in the fact that "-G" will assert gain on a MP3/OGG after encoding prcoess was finished, while "-g" will assert the gain before encoding.
that's why "-g max" will take almost 50% time longer than "-G max".
about the quality difference between the two methods, here's a quote of 'tangent' :
[quote]
"I believe that the benefits of postgain and more than worthwhile. Quality wise, it would not be the same as pregain, and one cannot absolutely say if it would be worse, better or similar. I can say that for most people out there the difference is inaudible, and in my opinion the quality should be better. This, plus the fact that postgain method is faster is enough for me to choose the postgain method. 

One last final advantage of post-gain is that you can guarantee that with post-gain applied, you can absolutely guarantee that the decoded playback will not clip and will have the highest volume possible (within 1.5dB). With pre-gain, there is no such guarantee, and you cannot be sure if the decode playback will clip or have the highest volume possible."
