Hi,

the topic basically says it all. After upgrading my System to Nero 7 premium, the foo_nero.dll plugin causes Foobar 0.8.3 to crash in certain situations (like dragging and dropping some files into it's window).

Is there an updated version somewhere?

Thanks,
Sascha

Am I the only one who's foo_nero crashes since Nero 7 was installed? Come on... gimme some clues :-)

No most likely you are not the only one. Although I dooubt that many people have Nero 7 installed already.

Most likely there are a few significant changes from Nero 6 to Nero 7 and the cd writing component will have to be updated.

When will this happen? Well for 0.8.3 probably never and for 0.9 beta probably when the developer finds the time to do so.

In the interim, is their an alternative way to encode to Nero 7 AAC using foobar and the command line encoder that preserves tags?

Edit: Nevermind, I figured out how to do it. For reference, the frontend in this thread can do it.

Wow... I'm having terribly bad luck using Nero 7 via foobar 8.0.3. (I must use the old version because .9 doesn't yet have all the components/features I need)

-foo_nero crashes foobar when I try to do anything at all.
-naac.exe worked beautifully but won't go after about the 45th or so encode.
-aacenc32.exe works great from the command line, but won't encode anything in nero, no matter what options I set for CLI encoder.

Nero itself works good, using the built-in CD Ripper, but I really need to use foobar2000 because of the way I've got my single file lossless images tagged with extended cuesheets. I don't think anything else out there will handle this, but I guess if I must, I could always re-encode into single file tracks, then transcode again, but that would take a hell of a lot longer.

Is there anything I could try?

Download foobar0.9.
Get the NeroAACWrapper.exe file and use that. Works great, even with 0.8.3.

Thank you so much kl33per! I think I might be able to get this to work.

I found NeroAACWrapper.exe in the foobar2000 0.9 installation, and configured foobar 0.8.3 diskwriter as follows:

Extension .m4a
Parameters: -quality 2 - %d

Format is: Lossy
Highest BPM mode supported: 16 (would not work with this set to 24)
Tag: default

All remaining boxes are unchecked.


Just out of curiousity, does anyone know what "Highest BPM mode supported" means? I'd just like to know how that affects the encoding process. In any case, I've got great sounging 50 kb/s audio files now, so I'm happy. I just have to check and see that this works on the actual system I was having problems with (using naac.exe which stopped working for no apparent reason).

Thanks again kl33per.
