Hi everyone ;)

So as the title says, I'd like a few people to test a PyQt thing I've been coding for the last few days. It was mostly a learning experience but I thought I'd better code something that could be useful, so it's a GUI for the Nero Digital AAC encoder for Linux, and because I suck at finding names, it's called NALG (which stands for Nero AAC for Linux GUI).

You can get it here (ftp://itsuki.fkraiem.org/pub/NALG/).

There is a README but here's in short what you need in order to use it:

* PyQt 4, which you can install in Ubuntu by installing the package python-qt4.

* The encoder itself, you can get it from here (http://www.nero.com/eng/down-ndaudio.php).

Then extract the archive, browse to the dir and run it with


python NALG.py

The rest should be pretty straightforward. Thanks to anyone that will spend a bit of his time testing it ;)

EDIT: oh, and there's a small cookie in the code, for those of you who like searching for them ;)

Hello HymnToLife,the following download link is broken ftp://itsuki.fkraiem.org/pub/NALG/
I couldn't find anywhere on the web the file "NALG-0.1rc2.tar.gz" (is it the latest version?)..please can you share it once again? thanks :)

Link fixed.

As you can see, development has been pretty much stalled for a long time, but I plan to start working on it again soon. ;)

Thank you.
I think that the most interesting features that you could add are the following ones,quoting from the readme:

* Encoding from other source formats. The Nero AAC encoder only supports
WAV as input, so this is the only input format supported so far. Both
ffmpeg and mplayer will be supported for decoding of the input file.

* Queued encodings. So far, only one encoding can be run at a time. The
queued encoding feature will allow the user to schedule several encoding
jobs, and run them all in one step later.

* Encoding in other formats like Vorbis to make this a more universal audio encoding GUI?
(look at Be Light,Be Happy,megui etc..you can add something like lame mp3,vorbis,wav,ac3,speex etc)
Bye :)
