I would like to do the above conversion for some old songs so I can get them on my MP3. I could not download the conversion software on to my HP mini which is run on Open SUSE. I tried on my MAC. The software got downloaded alright, but when I open the file -- hmm....its meant for Windows run computers-- all I can see is a whole string of undecipherable codes in the download!!

View 6 Replies View RelatedIn 2003 I converted over 25000 of invalid WAV files to MP3 ones using the sequence of commands:sox file.wav file.cdr lame file.cdr file.mp3.I used that intermediate method because it wasn't possible to convert most of these WAV files using lame only. The command lame file.wav file.mp3 displayed in such cases the message:Code: Unsupported data format: 0x0002.Now I tried to convert the same WAV files using the same method but lame doesn't recognize CDR audio format and complains:
Now I wonder how to achieve the same result enabling CDR audio format reading in lame because I prefer the second method. Unfortunately I haven't idea how to enable that during the configuration of the sources of lame. Its documentation doesn't mention about such switch.
or any conversion I suppose. My question is simple: How do I use this command: mplayer -ao pcm *.m4a -ao pcm:file="*.mp3" to convert whole directories and place the converted tracks into another directory. The way it's listed above it will convert all songs with a .mp4 extension into a single file with a .mp3 extension. Which of course, is not what I want, but I know of no other way to use this command.

I converted them using convert file.eps file.jpg but the generated files were kind of blurred (not much, but they are not of the same quality as the .eps files) Is there anything to do to get a good conversion? Also, which is better, is/are there any image viewer package that would help show the .eps files as .jpg files? I have tried, gthumb, gqview, f-spot, image magic (display).

It seems more and more people are encoding with the MKV container on bit torrent these days, and a lot of the shows I'm watching are starting to release almost exclusively with .mkv formatted videos. This is not a problem if I want to watch the shows on my computer but I've become accustomed to watching them on my PlayStation3 using my thumb drive. It seems the offical documentation for the PS3 includes a list of supported codecs [URL], but when I use FFMPEG to convert with libxvid video and aac audio in the MP4 container my PS3 says the output video is not supported. I've also tried most combinations of libxvid, libx264, mpeg4 for -vcodec and aac, libmp3lame for -acodec in several different container formats but nothing seems to work. I have found one option that always works:
Code:
ffmpeg -i inputfile.mkv -sameq -ac 2 outputfile.mpeg
I don't like doing it this way, however, as the output file is twice the size and the audio quality is terrible. If I don't reduce the audio channels to only two using -ac 2 FFMPEG throws an error (apparently MKV audio supports 6 channels). And preserving the video quality in MPEG video using -sameq produces too a large file (and I prefer to keep my files as lossless as possible). Ideally I want to save the files on an external HD I have but if a single episode of a show is 1.5 GB it's not very pratical.
Anyway, the PS3 docs say it supports h264 and xvid with aac audio, but apparently I'm doing something wrong. Has anyone sucessfully used FFMPEG to convert an MKV to MP4 for use on a PS3?
I've been trying out a few scripts (I hacked one myself) to convert HD MKV files to MP4 containers. Specifically, the main issue I'm trying to solve is converting DTS -> AAC audio. I noticed the scripts I used before used ffmpeg. I tried NeroAacEnc and found the audio quality is much better. Unfortunately, I'm having issues with MP4Box accepting the audio NeroAacEnc creates. I also hit one other issue and that is making sure HxW size of video is in multiples of 16. I was trying to use ffmpeg pad filter for that but couldn't figure it out.
