Ubuntu Multimedia :: Converting MP4 To MP3 (extracting Audio) With The Error Message That Libmp3lame Unknown Encoder
Apr 20, 2011
I installed the MOTU ffmpeg and libav ppa in Natty beta, the installation went through ok and media players all work. But I am having problems converting MP4 to MP3 (extracting audio) with the error message that libmp3lame unknown encoder. I checked that lame and libmp3lame0 are both installed. I wonder what might have been the missing piece.
I'm using ffmpeg to convert my files but when I tried to convert WAV -> MP3 I got this error. It's surprising for me cause I installed this one yesterday. What could happen?
So I have been at this problem for most of the morning and I have run out of ideas: I want to convert and mp4 to avi, and having uninstalled ffmpeg, winff and all other dependencies and followed the fabled guide[URL].... to install a complied version of ffmpeg, I keep on getting this error when trying to convert:
I want to be able to rip videos off ..... and put them on my ipod. I added installed "Download helper" which enables me to rip the videos off ..... in a flv format. When I try and convert the files to .mp4a (using the WinFF GUI) my terminal pops up and says "unknown encoder 'libx264'"
This happens every time I try to burn an audio CD burning data CD seems to work fine.I open Brasero, click Audio project, drag a couple of FLAC files into it and try to burn, or in this particular case, create an image.A dialogue pops up where I am supposed to tell it where to put the image. I click Desktop but I don't change the file name (something like brasero.cue or whatever).Then it starts doing things but after a short while I get an error message and I am asked to save the log file, which I did and here it is:
Code: Checking session consistency (brasero_burn_check_session_consistency brasero-burn.c:1741) BraseroNormalize called brasero_job_get_action
I'm trying to extract the audio from an mp4 video file and convert it to mp3 using ffmpeg. The problem is that the resulting audio file is only 3m2s long, whereas the video file is 8m15s long. Anyone know why the audio file is being truncated? Am I doing something wrong? Apart from being truncated the mp3 file plays perfectly. Here's what ffmpeg has to say about the video file:
I am testing several programs for video editing and video format change.I have been trying avidemux, and now I am trying to use ffmpeg, and a graphical frontend for it, Winff.As an example I am trying to convert an MP4 file to AVI. I obtain an error that says: "Unknown encoder 'libxvid'". How could I possibly now what I have to install to be able to convert the files without errors?
PD: This is the output from ffmpeg when called from Winff:

When I send mail via Evoultion it does seem to send ok but still the following error message comes up: Error while sending message. Failed to append to : Unknown error Appending to local 'Sent' folder instead. Not sure what's up with that but thought I would mention it.
I installed Kubuntu 10.04 last couple days ago. Yesterday I installed some package software. After reboot, I had problem to login in GUI in Kubuntu. I tried few solutions in web I found, Now It became more worse ! After BIOS - show this error message error : unknown filesystem grub rescue>
In both CentOS 5.5 and FreeBSD 7.4 when I use Code: snmpget -v 1 -c public windows_host system.sysDescr.0 I get the remote windows machine system description just fine. But not in ubuntu. Searching snmp-net FAQ for the erroe message "Unknown Object Identifier", I got this to work around Code: snmpget -v 1 -c public 127.0.0.1 SNMPv2-MIB::system.sysDescr.0 But it not worked either.. Searching "MIB" using apt-file search, I installed "snmp-mibs-downloader", and now Code: snmpget -v 1 -c public 127.0.0.1 SNMPv2-MIB::system.sysDescr.0 works.. but Code: snmpget -v 1 -c public windows_host system.sysDescr.0 still breaks.. Why it works in CentOS and FreeBSD but not in Ubuntu?
I have a problem with Transmission. After using it for over six months without a single problem, it suddenly stopped downloading. In the torrents that do no get downloaded, I get an error message Tracker responded: Unknown error (0) in the info window, tracker tab. But there are torrents with the same tracker that don'thave a problem and get downloaded fineThe logs don't give a clue about whats wrong either.I tried downloading those torrents with Vuze and I had the same problem. What could be wrong?
Just delete a linux partition and now when i boot a message appears and says error: unknown filesystem grub rescue >
I have search on the net for this problem and i have understand it a little. But my situation is a bit different and because i don't want to format my hard disc i wanna try to fix it. So before a couple months i download ubuntu 9.10 and i installed it a month later. But my computer used to crash all the time and i couldnt use it. So i download the latest ubuntu 10.4 and install it while having windows xp and the old ubuntu 9.10(so i had windows xp, ubuntu 9.10 and ubuntu 10.4 partitions). Now i tried to delete the partition of ubuntu 9.10 from disc utility. so i have the message i wrote above when i boot. I dont wanna delete my windows xp and ubuntu 10.4. what should i do to stop this message from appearing.
I've been using OpenShot before with no problems at all, I then formatted and Dual booted Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 and now I have a little problem. I've downloaded and installed OpenShot 1.2 via Software Center and installed LAME Mp3 codec via Terminal
Code: sudo apt-get install lame Everytime I try to export a video I've created in OpenShot I get this message. "The following formats/codecs are missing from your system: libmp3lame. You will not be able to use the selected export profile. You will need to install the missing formats/codecs or choose a different export profile."
I checked the codec in OpenShot and it's missing, I opened Synaptic to search "lame" and sure enough, it's installed version 3.98 so I tried reinstalling lame mp3 via Synaptic and still no audio codec is there in OpenShot when I click Refresh Codec. I have now tried reinstalling OpenShot with the codec already installed and still nothing, as well as uninstalling both, restarting the computer.
And then installing codec then OpenShot and vice versa for installation and STILL nothing is happening. I googled OpenShot LAME Mp3 codec problems and I can't find a single thing. OpenShot was working flawless before I dual booted and now it wont work at all, every single video format I can use, it's telling me I need the codec for it, which I have but OpenShot tells me I don't.
I want to listen to this audio file: [URL] but my real player 11.0.0.4028 gold desn play it, it says that there is a codec 28_8 missing, I go to relaplayer page, download the last release available for linux systems, but the message is the same : audio codec missing and doesn't play the audio.
I havev tried to play the audio with smplayer (not luck), vlc can play the audio but the pause button doesn't work so I have to listen the entire audio all the time I stop it playing. Is there any audio player capable od reproducing in the proper way this audio in ubuntu? No one of my video players totem, smplayer, realplayer or vlc are capable of playing this video: [URL]
I've just downloaded a vidio from ..... and converted it to an .avi file. What I want, however, is just the soundtrack as an .mpg to add to my mp3 player. I'm sure Fedora has software to do this, but I don't know enough about audio/video editing to know where to look.
Installed Wheezy. Audio players either stop with an error message about no sound, or they quietly play silence. Tried with gui and comand-line versions.
Mucking about with lspci indicates that I have two sound cards. News to me. I try "lspci | grep -i audio" and get 00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Haswell HD Audio Controller (rev 06) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Lynx Point High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)
I've got a bunch of wmv files that I'd like to re-encode to avi - about 50 of them. Is there a straightforward GUI application that does the same thing as Sound Converter does with audio files? As in, add a folder full of files, select the output format and output filename/folder, click "convert", and come back a few hours later.
Yes I know I can convert video files with mencoder and ffmpeg, but doing it file by file at the command line means I can't leave it running overnight or something.
I found something called Arista but the only output options are designed for specific hardware, ie. iPods and PSPs. I just want to convert the wmv's to avi's, not mess around with resolution etc. Also, with Arista you still need to add the files one at a time.
As K3b is the standard ripper I suppose it must be possible rip an audio cd to flac? In the plugin menu I see that the flac decoder is installed but not the encoder. Did someone already succeeded in installing the flac encoder plugin?
FYI: With virtual folders I am able to copy from the flac directory. It works to encode with flac like this but I experience the last seconds of the song are gone...
I tried to play a mpg file on a clean ubuntu 10.4 system which I guess laundhed totem movie player....it asked to me to download and install some packages which I accepted but unfortunately the quality of the movie isnt good (very black and red for all colors)...I want to un-install what I accepted previously and install the extended extra package found here:URl...
and hopefully that will set this as my default encoders and work better....however I dont know what I installed previously.does someone know what it was and how to un-install it?If there is another decoder anyone recommends for playing movies that would help as I am still at this point not sure the restricted-extras will fix my video.
I recently switched distributions, I let a guy talk me into switching from Ubuntu 8.04 to Mint 9. Since the switch, I have had a lot of issues that I have mainly worked out myself. I have posted all of it on the Mint forum, but there hasn't been much help available there. I have been told that Mint 9 is based on the newest release of Ubuntu (Lucid Lynx), so I thought I would post over here to see if anyone could help me. The only thing that's still giving me fits are the 3 software programs above. Using k9copy and trying to burn directly to disc, I am getting the error that I took the screenshot of. I then burned it as an iso image and saved it, then tried to use k3b and brasero to burn it that way and got errors with both of those programs.
Iam trying to burn wave files to a cd that i ripped from a cd when i try burning to gets to 300 meg and stops with these errors CD RECORD RETURNED AN UNKNOWN ERROR (CODE 254) SOMETIMES USING TAO WRITING MODE SOLVES THIS ISSUE Using ubuntu 10.04
I have been trying to install MATLAB 2008b as a standalone version; however, every time when the process runs to 18% it shows an error as follows: "There was an error extracting the archives for MATLAB compiler. Chceck that you have enough disk space and rerun the installer."
I did have checked the disk space which is much more than enough. I have also changed few different disks that are way more than enough as well, about 5GB at least, but this error still popped out when it runs to 18%.
I am looking for a nice and simple GUI app that can handle multiple audio formats and convert between them, something like Xrecode in windoze. Maybe by any chances you know about such alternative or similar application
If no such application exist, then i would like to find some solution for easy conversion for these scenarios:
Mainly i keep my music collection in flac format, so i mostly care for conversion from other formats to flac.
I'm trying to use TheLastRipper Linux port 1.4.0. It worked fine for a while, but after logging in, setting the tag, and tuning in, I keep getting the following pop up message:

I have this file that is in ZIP. I can open it and browse the files inside via archive manager. But extracting it gives me an error. When using GUI it says that 'ERROR while extracting files' and in command line when I command: unzip -q myfile.zip
It display this errors

I'm trying to extract a file from a zipped archive, and receive an error message saying "caution: filename not matched:".
I suspect the route cause of this is that the original filename contained accented characters (which now show as question marks in the zipped filename). I've tried renaming the file in the archive, but get the same error.
