I really need to burn my 64 kbps uncompressed A-Law PCM file to Audio CD uncompressed as is and make this 8 hour file appear on CD Players. What app does it for me? It must fit on CD! Goldwave makes a-law / u-law wav files BTW. I can do this with linux or windows with any application. tell me how or where to download. I have the wav files already.
View 1 RepliesMencoder settings... I'm doing a simple transcoding of an avi file from FFmpeg MPEG4 codec to XVID MPEG-4 codec. The problem is that the audio bitrate is changing from 192 kbps to 32 kbps. The audio codec for both files is mp3 (MPEG-1 layer 3). (I'm transcoding the FFmpeg MPEG4 encoded avi because my blu-ray player doesn't see, let alone play it. Any XVID MPEG-4 encoded avi files the blu-ray player sees and plays fine). I ran mencoder trying the four settings below but the audio bitrate still comes out at 32 kbps:
Code:
mencoder camping_en.avi -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts bitrate=192 -o camping_us.avi
mencoder camping_en.avi -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts bitrate=687 -o camping_us.avi
mencoder camping_en.avi -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts bitrate=9146 -o camping_us.avi
mencoder camping_en.avi -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts bitrate=192000 -o camping_us.avi
How to keep the bitrate at 192 kbps?
When I convert files with mencoder I get the output with incorrect audio bitrate. Seems that mencoder ignores the bitrate I pass to it. Here's my script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
vbitrate=800
abitrate=128
#mkdir $2/../$2_rip
unlink frameno.avi 2> /dev/null
mencoder $1 -ovc frameno -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=$abitrate -o frameno.avi
mencoder $1 -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=$vbitrate:v4mv:mbd=2:trell:cmp=10:subcmp=3:vpass=1 -ffourcc DX50 -o /dev/null
mencoder $1 -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=$vbitrate:v4mv:mbd=2:trell:cmp=10:subcmp=3:vpass=2 -ffourcc DX50 -o $2
unlink frameno.avi 2> /dev/null
unlink divx2pass.log 2> /dev/null
Result file should have 128kbps audio bitrate, but here are the results:
Input file:
02_seminar.avi, 42Mb
video: 432x320 00:05:10 25fps DivX5 1Mbps
audio: 48KHz 00:05:10 Stereo 138Kbps mp3
Output file:
02.avi, 34Mb
video: 432x320 00:05:10 25fps FMP4 802Kbps
audio: 48KHz 00:05:10 Stereo 138Kbps mp3
Why audio bitrate remains unchanged?
I downloaded three iso-images, 1 dvd-image and 2 cd-images:
openSUSE-11.3-DVD-i586.iso
openSUSE-11.3-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso
openSUSE-11.3-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso
Being paranoid, I created iso-files from the burnt DVD-R and the two burnt CD-R to verify integrity.
The iso-file of the DVD-R was identical to the downloaded image. Both iso-files created from the CD-R were different in size.
The original size of openSUSE-11.3-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso is 719.323.136 Bytes.
I only got 718.938.112 Bytes when recreating an ISO-file from my CD-R.
The CD-R is from Sony. When the length of my ISO-file doesn't correspond to the downloaded one, the checksum file verification doesn't work.
Or at least that's what I figured, when watching videos from ....., etc., the sound in the left channel turns into distorted high frequency noise, anyone had the same issue? Is there a fix for this? Sound in other applications works just fine.EDIT: Oh, and I'm using the proprietary flash plugin, has worked just fine on my Ubuntu Studio on the exact same computer.

View 5 Replies View RelatedBefore creating a DVD of an old movie, I tried to free up some hard disk space by burning a batch of old cartoons (Betty Boop, from the '30s.) to a data DVD, and deleting the directory after making sure the burn was good. The burn went fine, and the disc ejected correctly. (This is an important point!) I immediately re-inserted it so that I could check the contents, as I've done many times before, but it never showed up on my desktop.
(F10 with Gnome) I opened Nautilus and found two copies of the DVD listed, and both context menus listed both Mount and Eject, as though Gnome wasn't sure if it was or wasn't mounted. Checking, neither shows up in /media, /mnt or /etc/mtab. At this point, I can no longer mount it or any other disc. I've tried logging out and logging in, with no change. I'd consider a reboot, but my uptime has quite literally reached Biblical proportions and I hate to waste it if I don't have to. How to tell Fedora to let go of a DVD that isn't in the drive any longer?
I have been using windows operating system for a long time now, but I am not well familiar with linux. Whenever I used to install Windows, I used to install the corresponding audio drivers(in order to listen to the music). The problem I am facing is that I do not know how to install the audio drivers(if they really exist in linux Mint 10 operating system). As a result I am not able to listen to any audio file due to lack of corresponding audio driver programs. make proper configurations settings so that I can listen to audio files in Linux Mint version 10.

I am having a problem checking the MD5SUM of some CDs burnt from ISOs, and I'm not sure whether the problem is the burning or the checking. I get the same problems on several PCs, and it seems to be dependent on the ISO. I have for a couple of years used a script someone gave me to verify CDs against ISOs when I want to check the disc and it has always worked in the past. The core line in the script is:
Code:
devmd5=`readom dev=$cddev sectors=0-$count f=- | md5sum | awk '{print $1}'
count is the size of the ORIGINAL ISO as calculated by isosize

I have burnt a data DVD (containing mp3 files) from k3b with the default settings (filesystem: Linux/Unix+Windows). No Windows machine, and no DVD players recognize it.

CDs (burnt with the same settings) work fine.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI decided to install Fedora today ( from Debian ) so I downloaded the 64 bit variation and then burnt it and booted from it. My partition table before looked like this ( the XXXs of values I do not know ) :

I wanted to seperate my /home and / (root) partitions in my new system so that in the future, distro-hopping would be easier. I deleted everything in my fifth partition except for my home folder, from which I moved my home folder ( /home/whales ) to the top layer of the partition ( now /whales ).
I then did a yum install gparted so I could shrink partition 5 (now going to be /home) and add another 20gb one for / (root). Unfortunately Gparted spat out an error about the kernel not reading the partition table until reboot ( but first it succeeded in shrinking the FS to 286GB ). I panicked and tried to format p5 to ext3 ( it was ext3 ) but then realised this was dumb before it could 'create the ext3 filesystem' and I cancelled the operation.
I then rebooted, realising I should have done what the error said to in the first place.Nope. The partition was 'empty' apart from lost+found ( which is empty ). Nuts I thought to myself. The filesystem must have been overwritten . I tried a 'rescue' on parted on the command line, but that did not work. So I then removed the parition reference and then tried a rescue, but nothing happened. No output other than progress, and now I am stuck with this layout:

I have downloaded the opensuse 11.4 64 bit iso both as a direct download and as a torrent, and the md5sums for both iso images are fine.
I tried burning both, and for both of them they fail the checksum installation media test for the actual dvd.
(dvd title openSUSE-DVD-x86_640024)
I burnt them on a 32 bit Pentium 4 machine running suse 11.3, and am trying to install on an Athlon 64 3000+.
This may well be a stupid question, but do you have to burn a 64 bit iso image on a 64 bit machine, or should I be able to burn it on a P4 ok?
I should add that I had tried installing one the dvd's first, and got a lot of failed packages and ended up aborting the install.
Trying to play a *.mp4 video using mplayer and the picture is jumpy and the sound completely screwed. It say it is guessing the bitrate thus:
Opening audio decoder: [faad] AAC (MPEG2/4 Advanced Audio Coding)
FAAD: compressed input bitrate missing, assuming 128kbit/s!
AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 128.0 kbit/9.07% (ratio: 16000->176400)
Selected audio codec: [faad] afm: faad (FAAD AAC (MPEG-2/MPEG-4 Audio) decoder)
In fact the bitrate should be 139 or possibly 132. So assume that is what is wrong. Have assiduously coated myself with nourishing smegma and the like but am unable to work out how to set the bitrate in this case.
I have the same mp3 on two different distros, Fedora 14 and Ubuntu 10.10, both using gnome. The md5sum of the mp3 is identical on both distros, but on Ubuntu the bitrate is 96kbps and on Fedora it is apparently 257kbps. Discovered this using RhythmBox but also appears in Nautilus browser, under the properties tag.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe subject of this post is actually a question e.g. is there a mp3 ripper that allows the bitrate to be modified.

I realise I could ripper in flacc format but I have an mp3 player as does my grandaughter so I need the mp3 format. Incidentally is there a player(portable) that will play flacc encoded files?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble getting the pulse audio server to find the hw0 with the common m-audio 24/96 audiophile. This card worked with previous versions of all forms of pulse but seems to bork on the HW0 function for audio out...which is a stereo analogue simple output. Audacity sees the HW functions but pulse does not! Here is a screen shot of the pulse crap. And another screen shot of what the real card at "alsamixer -c 0" sees. There is no dac or adc detected or configured with pulse. This does not make any sense as alsa and alsamixer has all the correct device controls available to any other software that uses the ice1712 driver.
I am using Fedora 12 amd 64 as a live usb on a 16 gig stick and want to be able to record and mix audio on to HD with my reliable high end m-audio pci sound card without having to mess with the pulse crap or having to install a full HD option. BTW in the pulse sound configuration gui dropdown list there is no indication of HW0 and the only devices that are available in pulse are digital outs.....go figure, so essentially I can see all the correct connections and use programs that access alsa directly eg: audacity but have no sound through the crappy and ever borked pulse audio server! Any suggestions as to how to remove all the pulse stuff that comes with most distros that use gnome? I have done this deed before with Ubuntu but do no know how to do the deed with an rpm based system. If I install a non pulse version of xmms and let it use jackd then I should have reliable sound for cd audio etc and should be able to configure VLC, Ardour and Nted well without pulse getting in on the action and screwing up my sound.
