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 1 RepliesTrying 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.
Kernel 2.6.21.5, Slakware 12.0 I have plenty of files like this:
Code:
$ file 23-1.mp3
23-1.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 23.0 tag, MP3 encoding
$
All I want to know about a file like this is the bitrate is has been created with. Can this data be inside the tag? What's a cli program that lets me know that information?
I am wanting to reduce around 9.9gigs of music to 8gigs to fit on my phone. I have done some snooping and noticed a program called Lame. I also noticed a code:
for x in [ `ls -1 *.mp3` ]; do lame --preset 32 $x new32-${x}; done
I was wondering if someone would be able to explain the code and how I go about converting the bitrate to 96?
I am trying to find out how I can estimate the IP Layer bitrate I would get from an ethernet link? Say at 100 Mbits/s or 200 Mbits/s (powerline)? Is there a formula that I could use to calculate that?
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 have looked at cdparanioa, which I believe is the foundation of most of the Linux rippers, but it does not allow modification of the bitrate. 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'm new to gStreamer and need to determine the bitrate of a stream. Has anyone here worked with this before and does anyone know how to do it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis may be a minor irritation, but I'm puzzled by it nonetheless. I'm ripping my CDs to MP3 using Sound Juicer with the lamemp3enc plugin and following gstreamer pipeline.
audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lamemp3enc name=enc target=0 quality=0 ! xingmux ! id3v2mux
All was great a couple days ago, but suddenly the files' audio properties show 48 kbps bitrate when it should be well over 200. I even changed the pipeline to use "target=1 bitrate=256" with the same result. The files are being encoded as expected and that is reflected in the file size and the Statistics view in VLC.
I have two computers running Ubuntu 10.10. One has all the latest updates, but the other has not been updated in several days. This problem is happening on the former, but not the latter. gst-inspect lamemp3enc shows both computers have the same version of the encoder.
I thought I'd put it out to the forum here before submitting a bug in launchpad.
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 Replies View RelatedI have a large collection of music albums sorted in folders which are named like this: "Zombie Ritual - 2004 - Night Of The Zombie Party" (%{artist} - %{year} - %{album}). I want to rename them so as to be indicative of the bitrate, for example, "Zombie Ritual - 2004 - Night Of The Zombie Party" => "Zombie Ritual - 2004 - Night Of The Zombie Party (@320)". It will be hard to do this manually. I tried to use EasyTag and Kid3 to do this, but they cannot add bitrate to tags.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMencoder 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?
howto to transcode multiple mp3 files to another bitrate? I have a lot of 320bits mp3 which should be converted to 192bits before I can play them on my car stereo.

Everything works fine. I do this:Code:soundconverter -b -m audio/mpeg -s .mp3 *.flacBut the quality is 128kbps.Is there any way to change the bitrate (in the terminal ofcourse)?And if this is not possible, is there an alternative that copies the tags correct like SoundConverter?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have finally found a native Linux music player that's as light and as simple as Foobar(unfortunately Foobar under Wine is giving me problems so I needed to find a native player). creating custom columns for the player. And since I can't find any DeadBeef forums, I'm hoping people here are familiar with this player.
So, the two main custom columns I'm looking to create are Codec and Bitrate. Codec to show if the tracker is mp3, ogg, flac, etc. And Bitrate to show the bitrate of each track.
Now there's an option in DeadBeef to create columns, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the column to show the info that I want. I was hoping that the way you get custom columns to show up in Foobar would work in DeadBeef. But inputting %bitrate% and %codec% into the columns in DeadBeef does not work.
how to get the two columns that I'm wanting to display the info that I want?
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 2 Replies View Relatedi am still a linux newbie. i'm trying to study the features of the different LINUX distros through installing ubuntu,debian,redhat,centos and fedora as Virtual Machines in VirtualBox.As i've figured out, they look different somehow, they have diffirent managers ,i.e. for downloading or updating their components. BUT MY QUESTION: are these distros internally compatible ?
Do any commands exist in one distro but not in the others? ARE ALL Distros compatible on the CLI-basis ?
Do I understand correctly? When some new version of program comes out, it is available as a source code only. Then distros' maintainers download it and every maintainer builds his own version of the program for his distro. And every maintainer makes changes in the program, so Arch's program differs from the same program, built for Ubuntu. And for Fedora there is another version of this program that differs. And maintainer can do any changes in program he wants, so the program might even not to look like original one? It might be half of original one and another half is written by the maintainer.
