DSS and DSS Pro file formats are used by professional voice recorders such as the Olympus DS-4000, Olympus DS-5000 and Philips LFH-9600. Is there any known program running under Linux to play and/or convert these files into something more compatible?

I want to convert some wav files to wma files. I have the wav files currently in a folder called Test to make it easy. So I have entered the following command line:
ajpearson@ajpearson-laptop:~/Desktop/pacpl-4.0.5$ pacpl --to wma home/ajpearson/Desktop/Test and the error message I get is:
error: the following is not a file or directory: home/ajpearson/Desktop/Test
It does not matter what directory I use I get the same error. I am sure the answer is obvious - but not t me.
a movie is encoded with AC3 in 6 channel audio, what I get out is all of the sounds except for voices, which in 5.1 would be sent to the center channel. What I usually do is fire up avidemux and convert the audio to mp3 stereo, as converting to a 5.1 format usually ends up with a very odd sound (like running everything through an echo chamber). What I'd like to do is run a script to batch-convert these files from AC3 to MP3. The video format may vary, but they are usually XVID. I am comfortable at the command line, but I am not well-versed in audio/video tool terms. I don't need anything extravagant, I just want something that works. Heck, even if it is done one at a time, having a shell script that I can use to simply type:
tool.sh inputfile.avi outputfile.avi
My question would be this: is it possible to open different audio file tracks into the same piano roll, or even open multiple piano roll instances at the same time? If the answer is "no", then does anyone know a good LADSPA sampler plugin? Basically, I need to be able to load multiple samples into the same instrument and have them set to a range on the keyboard, similar to what the advanced sampler in Reason does.
Having multiple samples in the beat editor is not the same, as I need to control the note off (without re-loading the sample and just changing the end time, that is too cumbersome). If any of this seems weird I should specify that I am making breakcore music where drum beat samples are highly manipulated and a piano roll for each sample is just going to be too annoying to program.
I have two video files (Xvid) and would like to combine the video from one of these with the audio track of the other, in order to create a new video file.
This is somewhat complicated by the fact that I would like the resulting audio to be a mixture of the two original audio tracks, for instance, during some time segments, I would like to switch from one to the other, but the video should always be the same.
Another issue that complicates the things is that the two audio tracks have different bit rates, and when I briefly managed to merge the two, one of the audio tracks was playing much faster than the other. To clarify, the audio tracks should not overlap but just be played at the different time during the video playback.
I am trying to do this by using Audacity. The problem is that I am fairly new to Audacity and I have not been able to find any info in their user guides regarding this specific issue.
I've been googling this problem a lot these last couple of days, with no luck.The thing is, I need to record audio from an old Tascam four track cassette recorder. I have three tracks on the tape and I want to record them to three seperate tracks on the computer. I don't have and cannot afford a decent multi-track soundcard (one of the reasons I'm using the cassette recorder, another being really cool drum sound). This means I cannot record the tracks seperately and sync them afterwards, because the speed of each playback isn't 100% reliable.
I have a USB guitar link from Behringer, which I could use and has one mono plug. Pulse Audio picks that up as a seperate input and with Jokosher I can assign line-in left and right to two seperate tracks and the USB link to a third one. The problem is however that Jokosher constantly freezes up and I've never been able to make it work properly. So my question is: is there any other way/software I could use to record from two seperate audio sources?

Ran the 10 steps for multimedia and everything is fine - just can't seem to convert these blasted mp4's. I'm going to give K3b a try next and see what results I get on that.
I use abcde to rip and encode all my music. It works great especially the option of ripping an entire cd to one flac or mp3 file, this was great for Sleep's Jerusalem. Anyway I have a cd by the Melvins (the Maggot) which they famously split each track into two tracks midway through the song. I would like to know if there is a way to rip them into "whole" tracks?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an android phone. The voice recorder records files in 3gp audio only format. I can play these on my computer with the standard gnome player and with vlc. However, audacity won't open it up. There is an error that says that FFmpeg should import it but it didn't understand the format. I need to edit some of these audio files for use. Is there a way to convert these files to mp3 or flac so I can edit them? Searches turn up w32 ware and some arcane mencoder commands but they have to do with converting video.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to rip my "Queen's Greatest Hits I" CD to my hard drive as FLAC files. For the most part, it's going well. But let's say I want to rip Track 16 (We Will Rock You) and Track 17 (We Are The Champions) as one track. (Because really, who ever listens to those tracks separately???)
What is the best CD ripper software to use to accomplish this? So far I've tried Asunder & Audex, but I don't want to download every ripper before I find one that will let me do this easily.
I was able to do what I wanted in cdparanoia at the shell:
Code:
cdparanoia 16-17 Queen_We_Will_Rock_You_We_Are_The_Champions.wav
But then I lose all the convenience of automatic tagging, etc.
I have a brand new 3CD opera and two of the tracks on the last CD will not rip.
I have tried on two different machines with the same result. (Grip/cdparanoia)
The tracks appear to play OK on CD player.
Any solutions available?
Can I return disks as faulty?
I cant convert audio files using flac with standard input. I tried the commands such as:
Code:
mpg321 -b 10000 -s -r 44100 -w - file.mp3 | flac - -o file.flac
or:
Code:
ogg123 -d wav -f - file.ogg | flac - -o file.flac
[Code]....
All such conversions doesnt produce any *.flac file. It seems flac doesnt accept minus sign for the standard input although flac manual allows to use it.
So my question is how I can use the standard input in order to decode audio data with flac?
I'm having a few problems with my Creative Zen and Banshee after swapping computers and upgrading to openSUSE 11.2. At first I was having problems because it wouldn't detect, but that seems to be about resolved now (although I do sometimes have to unmount it in Nautilus then disable and re-enable the MTP extension in Banshee at the moment). Now the problem appears to be that it'll transfer, but that the tracks won't play.
I'm using Banshee 1.5.2 with a custom build with this MTP on 64-bit patch added. I manually manage the device (I've got 10GB of music and an 8GB player, so I use a smart playlist that I manually sync with) and have been testing with just a few tracks at once - MP3 and M4A (iTunes+). Tracks generally copy over okay (although one MP3 in particular seems to freeze during transfer) but when I try to play them I get "There is a problem playing this audio".
I've tried Gnomad, but the tracks didn't show up at all, and I've tried Rhythmbox, but it doesn't sync album art, even for tracks I know it has the art for.Anyone had similar experiences or have any ideas? I've had all of these songs on there before, so it is annoying that it isn't working now.
I am trying to join about 3 video file and have an audio track over the top. Nothing major and to give you an idea how basic it needs to be, I used windows movie maker in the past. I can't figure out how to do it! I had a flick through the web and some people recommended Avidmux. I installed it and i can edit one video file with no audio but if i try to incorporate a second file it just opens a new window! Has anyone got any ideas on good video editing software.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been using lxdvdrip to rip a couple of DVDs that I own to my hard drive; and I usually am able to use just one command and let it do its thing, instead of waiting for all the prompts ("Select audio tracks?", "Specify burn location?", etc), using something such as 'lxdvdrip -u=a -a=2 -fv=~/film-dvd -lang=en -bp=0'. The problem is that this will only work for movies that have English audio tracks, and I have quite a few movies in other languages. There's no way to simply predict what audio tracks a movie will have, short of playing it and cycling through them all.
There doesn't seem to be an lxdvdrip option to specify a language other than German, English or French; you have to choose it manually. Is there a way -- using lxdvdrip or something else on the command line -- to list the particular properties of a DVD, specifically what audio tracks it has? Something kind of like the "exiftool" command for listing EXIF data.
I've run into something very interesting over the past several months with audio CDs and KDE 4.3.1. Background: I've got two computers running Slackware 13 --stable with Vincent Batts's KDE 4.3.1 packages. One of them is a desktop running Slackware64 and the other is a laptop running 32-bit Slackware. The two computers are running almost the same software too. I like to listen to audio books that I get from the library on my MP3 player. The vast majority of them are CD audio (as opposed to MP3 books), so the disks simply have a whole bunch of .cda tracks on them when I view them in Windows.
HOWEVER, when I view them in Dolphin or Konqueror, I get several folders offering the files in different formats. For instance, there's a folder for the individual tracks as .wav and another for .ogg files. The folder that I really like is one called something like "Full CD," which offers the whole disk in one file in four different formats. That's the one I like. I can get the whole disk in one OGG file so that an entire book is just 12 files on my Sanza. The only thing that seemed strange was that it took for freaking ever to "copy" from the CD to my hard drive.
I think I figure out what's going on! I think that Dolphin is actually calling K3B when I click on the audio CD and when I "copy" from the CD to the hard drive, it is actually encoding the .CDA files. The Problem(s)Until recently, the burn (if that's what it is) was slow on the 64-bit machine, but it worked. However, in the last week or so, it seems that the last few bytes of data to burn are taking forever (like an hour or more) to do so. I hear a strange clicking from my drive, so maybe that's the whole problem. I'm going to get a new drive and see what happens. The burn works well on my 32-bit laptop, but it doesn't recognize audio CDs when I insert them like the 64-bit desktop does. I need to open Dolphin and type 'audiocd:' in the toolbar for it to recognize the disk. Then everything works well. So: Am I understanding what's actually going on with audio CDs? Why does my desktop computer recognize audio CDs when they're inserted, but the laptop doesn't?
So I did a short 30 second video of Recordmydesktop in ogv, and was wanting to convert it to mkv. So when I did the video was awesome but the sound kept skipping. Here is the conversion command i did
Code:
ffmpeg -i test.ogv -vcodec libx264 -vpre medium -crf 24 -threads 0 -acodec copy test.mkv video was great, audio not.
... with an error message box stating that :
"The playback of this movie requires a GStreamer element audioconvert plugin which is not installed."
So I work off and on doing live sound work and I am interested in starting to record some of the shows I work on. Naturally I only run Linux based operating systems on my computers so I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good piece of hardware for recording 8-16 tracks that fully supports Linux. I have firewire and USB interfaces on my studio laptop.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI see lots of threads on converting your CDs to MP3s, but I want to do the opposite. I want to burn MP3s into CDs that will play on older CD players that dont have MP3 support.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am dual booting XP and Ubuntu 10.04, but in the future I will be getting a new machine and I will only be running Ubuntu and won't have access to iTunes. Because I have an iPod Touch, I have been trying to find workarounds for syncing everything that iTunes took care of in the past. One problem I have is managing movies. I have looked through various media players/iPod management tools (Amarok, Rhythmbox, gtkpod) and I am using Rhythmbox to sync my music and and attempting to use gtkpod to sync my movies.
gtkpod is able to sync songs (Tested with a few minute test clip) and short *.mp4 files (15mb I know for sure from test). I am unable, however, to get it to sync a movie (~700mb) I am able to drag it onto my iPod in gtkpod, but when I try to save the changes and write the files, it hangs at "Copying Tracks" at 0%. It eventually crashes during the couple times I have tried to wait it out. So this being my situation, my question is, is there a size limit to the *.mp4 files I can sync to my iPod Touch via gtkpod? is there any other tools that you know of that I can sync videos to my iPod with?
Anyway to rip the audio from an flv and convert to flac or mp3 without quality loss?
