After installing Ubuntu 10.04, 64-bit, I can no longer rip CDs to MP3 format. I can play MP3 files on the computer just fine. And this isn't limited to a single application.I normally use Sound Juicer to rip my CDs. Under Edit >> Preferences >> Format, the drop down menu no longer lists MP3 as an output option; however, if I click on the "Edit Profiles" button, there is a "CD Quality, MP3" option and it is set to active.
I'm having the same problem with Rhythmbox. Under Edit >> Preferences >> Music, the "Preferred format" box is empty, the dropdown menu is grayed out, and clicking the "Edit" box only shows the same sound profiles as Sound Juicer with no way to make one enabled (yet they are marked as active).
I'm still trying to find out if my coby mp3 player will actually play mtv video files as is advertised.
ffmpeg -formats does list mtv but the only command I really ever used was one to convert a vid to an mp3 so I tried Code: ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -acodec copy output.mtv it returns Code: Unable to find a suitable output format for 'output.mtv' I can't find any mtv files online for purchase or free for that matter, so I know this is all pretty obscure but shouldn't there be a way to convert them since ffmpeg lists mtv format?
Alright, I got a pair of darn nice stereo headphones over the past month and I'd like to maximize their use with the best audio format possible on my Ubuntu computers. I have a pretty extensive music collection but now going from using Itunes, Winamp, Banshee, etc formats seem to be getting pretty extensive. I want to know what the BEST overall quality audio format is. I'm only talking about simple listening, not editing, if it makes a difference.
I don't care what the size of the song comes out to here. If a 5 minute song ends up being 25mb, so be it. And what is your reason behind your choice, short and sweet.
I have video files in wmv, mov format but my dvd player will not support these formats so I want to convert those to avi format, is there any software for this purpose, How can I install and use that?
How do you erase/format a Data DVD+RW? I had originally burned some folders aka data onto a DVD+RW disc using Brasereo. The burned worked fine but now when I try to burn someone else on it, it won't let me. I tried using the "Blanking" option but all it does is make a burning sound and doesn't stop. Once it tries to blank the disc I can't stop the process except by pressing the power button on my computer. The DVD+RW is not corrupt because I can still read from it and copy working data on it. I'm not sure on what to do. I have already tried K3B but that doesn't work.
I'm having some problem converting an mpg file to avi. I did it with mencoder. The result was an avi file as I wanted but the image was like stretched vertically. Like this: (The avi is on the left) What can I do to convert it without the stretching?
so this is my favourite audio format (please kindly refrain from dissuading me to use it , it is not my question) and it worked fine up to karmic but i spent time today it seems okbut then when i run
I have created a software raid 5 array which is currently sitting idle all space is unallocated. My plan was to use all 4.5 TB as a single partition for multimedia files. My problem is that I am trying to set up a file server acessible to windows systems al well as linux. Is there a file system I can use to partition this space that will geve me what I want?
I recently downloaded a movie and it was in XVID format. When i tried to play it with vlc it played a small message that you need an xvid player that needs to be downloaded from a particular website... Then I tried to search for the missing plugins and i even found some and downloaded and installed but it did not work . the file which i downloaded was a 600 mb. then i switched to windows to play the file and it automatically opened the website and asked to purchase the xvid player.I even ttried to convert it to avi or mp4 format using avidemux but did not work.
I've just started to use Rythmbox, and as I was ripping CDs I noticed that the songs ripped as .ogg files by default. I use Rythmbox to sync with my iPod Classic (80 gig, if it matters), so I would prefer that the songs ripped in .mp3 or AAC. Is this possible without leaving Rythymbox? If not, what's the most user-friendly software available to rip CDs in .mp3 or AAC?
So the other day I plugged my iPod shuffle into my pc while booted into Ubuntu. I couldn't access it through rhythmbox, o I mistakenly figured the best thing to do would be to format it with the fat system. Big mistake. ended up turning out an error saying something along the lines of not being able to format the iPod in a 32 bit format.Now my iPod doesn't show up at all, and I have no clue where to go from here to get it formatted and set up for use with rhythmbox
1. Does not support DRM. 2. As lossless as possible. 3. Plays on Android devices including Xoom and Nexus One. 4. Supported by most major players. 5. If the best format is a bit lossy, then it has to be something I can get from most media stores.
I can play nearly any video format on my pc because I have loaded all of the nessessary software. But what about tvs? I loaded some videos onto my flash drive and then I inserted it into the usb port of a LCD tv. Nothing on the drive would play. I assume it is because tv have a limited number of formats that they will play.Now, if I intend to download videos and convert them so that they will play on a tv, what are my best options for..
I am not able to see the video of a .flv format in VLC player. I tried it in the SMplayer also but of no use. I can hear the audio but no video on it. Just a black screen.
I have a whole bunch of wma files I want to convert to a more liked format like wv flac or shn. Shntool does not seem to want to do that soundconverter and soundkonverter both refuse too. My wma format is wma1 or wmal cannot tell if it is 1 the number or l the letter L. 1. They play in xine straight off. Xine is in your synaptic 2. To convert quickly install dBpoweramp under wine again quick and no fuss.
I have a Panasonic G1 digital camera this outputs raw files in Panasonic's own format (suffix .rw2). UfRaw and RawTherapee can both read these so I can work on them in ubuntu (though ufraw displays a very overexposed image at first). f-spot has problems and displays a funny pinkish mess.
Can I get F-spot to display .rw2 thumbnails?
I would actually like to get Gnome to be able to display panasonic raw thumbnails as well. Is this possible?
As an aside it would be one in the eye for windoz as Panasonic have not released a codec for XP, only for Vista and 7 (and it seams to have a nasty hook in it according to dp review)
I 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.
So how do I do it? I have Mint on this particular computer, which is like having Medibuntu already I think.
I just wanted to know what people think is the best video encoding program. I want to be able to convert any video files to any format, mostly x264, avi that sort of stuff. I used AVS encoder in windows.
