I want to rip all my CDs to flac at the lowest compression (space is not an issue) via Banshee. I have tried a few tracks but the seem to be ripped at a higher compression to the ones I have done via sound juicer (set at compression 0)
How do I adjust the flac settings in Banshee to do this? The option to edit the settings is not available for flac? I guess there is a config file somewhere?
I have Ubuntu 11.04 and I have some music in flac-format. However, when I try to transfer that music to my ipod nano 5g using Banshee, I only have the option of converting it to pcm, not i.e. mp3.
Is it possible to set Banshee up, so it converts flac to mp3 instead of PCM?
I use mplayer to play my media files. Occasionally I want to take screenshots of media I am playing. I use the -vf screenshot option to take screenshots which generates shotxxxx.png. The issue is that all those png are not compressed and usually large. When dealing with Hi-Def media they are extremely large, each is 4-5 MB in size at the least. Is there a way I can set the option for compression of png images. If I use imagemagick the same files get compressed to like 1.5MB of png file.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to convert hundreds of BMPs into a single AVI file, without compression. Since every pixel matters in my case, I don't want any kind of compression. It's fine if the output file is extremely large.
I'd like to know if it's possible to achieve this with packages coming with Ubuntu 11.04. I have tried ffmpeg/mencoder, but they either compressed the output file, or the output file is not playable in totem. I am a new user for both tools. there is actually a way to get uncompressed avi from these tools.
"BMP to AVI Sequencer" [URL] does the job perfectly. I successfully converted 180 1080P BMPs into a 1G avi, running at 30 fps. Unfortunately I need a command line tool this time.
I finally got K9copy to work and I'm using it to extract DVDs to my hard drive. I extract a dual layer DVDs it becomes a 5GB DVD. In the settings, I have DVD size as 9GB because I assumed this would not cause any compression. When I use k9copy assistant to change the shrink factor before ripping, I can only change the shrink factor of some titles to 1.67 from 2.50. I want the shrink factor to be 1 since this seems to ensure that the output of the file is the same size as the title on the dvd. I want the copied DVD to be the same size as the original. I have no problem with hard drive space since I have 6 terrabytes of free space.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm head engineer for a community radio station. One of our compressors has recently died and I want to replace it with software compression on our streaming machine. I've been looking at VST/LADSPA/JOST etc and I've got nothing but confused. Hence I'm coming here looking for help.
My spec is this. We need a system to run a compressor and EQ, probably a graphic and a parametric. The compressor needs to be multiband and have proper control of the compression curve. A way of configuring it without too much command line work would be an advantage. All needs to run on an Ubuntu server with not massive overhead as it's not exactly the latest hardware. I suspect it would be possible to run WINE for windows requiring VSTs if needed.
I was hoping some of you good people might be able to point me in the direction of a suitable host and plugins to achieve the effect described.
All my photos saved on digikam are subjected to compression. Is there any way to go around this in the program?
View 2 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.)
Which is bad because one of the main reasons I wanted to convert is because i thought removing video reduced the file size.
For example one file went from 6.4mb mp4 to a 19.7mb flac.
Does anyone know how to use neroaacencoder (in CLI) to convert a flac file to AAC ? Is it also possible to encode in WMA in Linux ?
View 9 Replies View RelatedHow to install XMMS from source with the Flac plugin. It was originally based on howto's from blogs. I have tested this on Karmic Koala and it should work fine.
We will start off with XMMS. We'll take the plugin later..
First you need to update your packages list

Now install build-essentials

I have tried everything within my power and knowledge to get xmms2 to play my flac files, but I just get no sound. I've had to resort to mplayer for now for flac. For the record, yes I have the flac plugin installed along with the all-plugins package.

All other threads i can find on this kind of thing also have Amarok not playing flac....but if i drag and drop them in, they play just fine, so i know its not a codec problem.
Is there something i have to enable? Like in some media players, you can set which formats are scanned for...but i cant seem to find such a feature available in any of the Amarok settings...
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 all my CDs in FLAC format for playback in my home but like most folks I have a portable.Now, converting my collection to Mp3 fits on my player but its a pain to manually convert each new album. It would be cool to script something that could be run on cron or manually to keep them synced.

View 3 Replies View RelatedBackground: I'm digitizing an old record. I used Sound Recorder to make FLACs of each side of the LP, and now I need to edit them down to individual tracks. I'm using the development version of Ubuntu 10.04.
Problem: Audacity ignores these FLAC files when I attempt to import or open them.
The FLAC files play if I hover the mouse over them in GNOME.
Audacity gladly imports FLAC files I ripped from CD last year (using Sound Juicer I think).
But when I try to do the same for my recorded FLAC files, nothing happens. I tried running audacity in a terminal window, and there is no additional output when I attempt the import. This comes out when I start it:
Code:
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
Expression 'stream->capture.pcm' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 3653
Looking at the file properties, they're basically the same except the Juicer-generated file has values filled in for title, artist, album, year. They are all FLAC Stereo 44100 Hz. I thought it might be a file-size problem, so I made a 5-second test with Sound Recorder, and that also refuses to import.
So, why do only the ripped files work with Audacity?
I need to split big FLAC file(s) to single tracks. Is there any Ubuntu app similar to Medieval CUE Splitter? Also, I need spectrum analyzer app to determine is FLAC file real lossless or is transcoded from some lossy format. Something like this.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using 11.2, KDE 4.3.5 with Grip and Flac to rip and encode CDs. Two questions:- Have read flac -help and do not understand the -o option which is used in a few example threads. The man page suggests that -o should be used with subsequent parameters such as --output_name=FILENAME for example. In the example posts this general option is used on its own. What for?
The installation when first used, already had a string of options including --best on the command line. I cannot find any documentation for this. I assume it is a preset in the same way as for example --preset extreme in lame.
pacpl and audioKonverter appear to be missing from the Packman and OpenSuse repositories. Does anyone know of something similar that's available?
