I tried converting wma to mp3 with vlc, but an error comes up this is what it says.
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
Streaming / Transcoding failed:
It seems your FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder:
MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3.
Either how can I get that encoder for vlc or what else can I use to convert wma to mp3?
Why is this happening? Code: root@Matilda:/home/ryan# /usr/bin/mkmp4 ~/Desktop/wonderfuldays.mkv ~/Desktop/wonderfuldays.mp4 Analysing input file No streams found, encoding failed

If you don't know how to fix this, ask for support from your distribution. This is not an error inside VLC media player. Do not contact the VideoLAN project about this issue.
It said not to contact VideoLAN, but instead the Distro so...here I am. Was there a file I should download in order to fix this? If there is one, where do I place it or run it to stop this error?
I'm trying to convert a video in .ogm format to .avi format so I can stream it to my PS3 via uShare. I'm using Mencoder and the following command to do it (to transcode the audio from vorbis to mp3 and the video from mpeg4 to xvid):
Code: mencoder input.ogm -oac mp3lame -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=1 -o output.avi.The only problem is, the video contains 2 audio streams - one Japanese and one English. Needless to say, I need the English one. The above command only seems to transcode the Japanese audio though!Here's what ffmpeg has to say about the input file:
Code:
Input #0, ogg, from 'input.ogm':
Duration: 00:24:16.12, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 1280 kb/s[code]...
what I can do to specify the correct audio stream to encode? Also, how can I keep the bitrate the same as the output.avi seems to default to 96kbps?I'm not sure which audio stream is which but a little trial and error will sort that out in no time.
Can't find anything quite like this having been asked already I have just bought all of Babylon 5, and want to put it on my hdd instead of using the discs. dvd::rip works fine for me. I can rip and then transcode titles to AVI manually. What I want is to rip a disc or two, and then have dvd::rip transcode them overnight (takes about 50 minutes per episode on my machine). I tried this on the command line: dvdrip -f transcode -t 2 b5s1d1.rip which, after briefly loading the GUI, just gets this error: Can't locate object method "error_dialog" via package "Video:VDRip::GUI::Main" at /usr/share/perl5/Video/DVDRip/GUI/Main.pm line 173. Gave up and found dvd::ripqueue, which is a gui utility that automates what I would have put into a script, but it doesn't work properly - dvd::rip launches, but only performs the first pass and produces no output. My projects were set up and saved correctly (as I said, all this works if I start it manually from the dvd::rip GUI).

If I understand the messages thatare printed to stdout when I run it, this transcodes the mp3 stream to an ogg filece I am using this to timeshift a program that I otherwise would not be able to listen to, I would prefer simply to dump the stream in mp3 format without transcoding. tried changing "ogg" "dump" but that produces an error about the --sout option. Can someone tell me how to modify this command so that it simply dumps the incoming stream to a file in mp3 format

I used applications like TVersity, PS3 Media Server, mkvdts2ac3 script, and avidemux. I just hope i can save someone's weekend with this. Anyway here is the link:

when i convert to a mp4 file, with good quality, the output is always around 1.2 -1.8 gb. depending on the movie file. i tried Xvid and the size is pretty much the same. only by reduucing the pixel size etc... i get like a 600-800 mb file.
when i see other ripped movies, with about the same movie length, they getting 800mb mp4, in perfect quality, no smaller screen, pixels are great etc... is there any kind of advanced setting to it? bitrate, audio? to get down to this file size..?

MOst videos work fine but I have some mkv's giving me trouble.I'm trying to use mencoder to re-code the video to one that the PS3 can play. mkvinfo says the video track is Codec ID: V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC and the audio track is Codec ID: A_AC3.I used this command to convert to avi (found it in a thread on this forum):

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am in Toronto Canada and we have NTSC television. I am going to England where they use PAL. My mom's DVD player cannot read NTSC.
I have a TV show on my PVR that I want to burn to a DVD so that she can see.
I have to output the program from the PVR to my DVD recorder; I do not have the hardware to send directly to my computer.
So I believe I must follow these steps:
Rip DVD to computer

Burn to DVD
Trying to burn with CD/DVD Creator. I can't find anything in the program (settings wise) that will automatically convert mp3 files to wav files. I used to use k3b, and it used to do that. I did try installing k3b, however I am getting glitches in the program. I don't want to covert mp3 files over to wav every time I want to burn a new cd. Does anyone have a suggestion as to another program or place to find the burn setting for encoding?

I am trying to convert music in wma format that I purchased on Zune to mp3 format so that I can play it in Rhythm Box and use it on a SanDisk Fuze that I recently purchased. I installed Sound Convert. Sound Convert works fine when converting wma files that were created from ripping CD's. However, it freezes when trying to convert wma files that were purchased from Zune. Also if I try to double click on one of the wma files to play it with movie player, I get an error message saying that the file is encrypted and decryption is not supported.
I did find a converter on Windows that works. However, it was a trial version that only converts 90 secs. The full version costs $25. I do not feel that I should have to pay for music that I have already paid for. The music was purchased a la carte from Zune (not with the monthly pass). Does anyone know of a workaround to free my Zune music so I can access it on Ubuntu?
The problem is the only video codec that iPod touches can playback is MP4. My Psych episodes are AVIs. I've heard of and used mencoder to change video codecs before, but I'd have no idea how to write my own script for it. What I was thinking of doing is using Avidemux to convert it? Open the AVI in adivemux Switch the video to MP4 Mpeg-4 switch the audio to MP3 lame
Honestly i'm not too firmiliar with codecs and containers but its telling me that rather than Xvid(which i think it was previously) the video codec is MP4 and the audio is MP3, and the container is AVI. First of all is this correct? Did i get the codec/container right?
Secondly will this work on my iTouch? I guess dealing with AVIs as a container is ok as long as the video codec is MP4? rather than like OGG or something? Ugh i'm so confused, i've just been rambling..
Ok. First of all do i have codecs/containers down? Am i correct with my assumptions? Second, I am correct that the CODEC is the problem, it must be MP4 to play back on the iPod? the container being AVI has nothing to do with it? (i'm basing this off of the fact that i know the only "codec" iPods can playback is MP4)
Edit: are there any other possible ways to convert an AVI to an MP4?
I copied some songs off a CD and wanted to convert them to mp3. Is there a program that I should have used to rip them that would have done that or is there a program that will convert them for me?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI converted using a simple app called sound converter to convert my mp4 vids to flac (because they were music i didn't need the picture.)

View 9 Replies View RelatedIts no secret that flash video performance is sub-par in Ubuntu. I have a Zotac Mag HD ND01 that I have connected to my 40" LCD tv and have a minimal Ubuntu 9.10 installed running openbox and firefox/boxee/xbmc
My primary use for running a web browser is so I could watch live streaming hockey games in HD. However, thanks to Flash's performance (and yes, i've tried the latest versions, even the 091510 version in labs) in full screen mode, watching hockey is not possible because its way too choppy.
Now, on my desktop computer in my office, I can watch the same stream without issue. So, my question is, is there any way to take this live stream (which is using Flowplayer), and re-encode it on-the-fly so I can stream it to my htpc in a format it likes (such as MKV i guess, it can play 720p/1080p mkv files without issue)?
My desktop is a Core i7 920 overclocked to 4.2Ghz with 6GB DDR3 ram, so I would hope its powerful enough for the cause. Also, the desktop is running Windows 7 64bit and Ubuntu 10.04 64bit on a dual boot, so a method in either is fine.
Here's a question for audio compression nerds. I currently store music ripped form CD's in FLAC format on my HD. I would like to store them as OGG files to save space.
My quandry is this; I need to create both MP3 and OGG files. Both formats are "lossy". I imagine that each format must have different ways of deciding what to lose. Therefore, I am losing some stuff when I rip it in the first place, and converting would lose additional (and dfferent) stuff.
To give you an idea about what sounds okay to me, I believe I can tell the difference between 128 Kbps and 192, but not 192 and 256.
Am I being like the guy who waxes his headlisghts to increase gas mileage here?
