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.
Can I ask for some advice in converting a video (from my phone) which is a 3gp file into something more universal. I use audokonverter for audio files and this gives me a menu right-click option to convert a song from (say) wav to mp3. Is there an equivalent for videos? I am using opensuse 11.4 64 bit and have mplayer, xine and vlc installed plus the necessary codecs. Or is it simpler to use ffmpeg in a c/l environment

At my work I am using lot of PDF files which are created using Openoffice Calc (Spreadsheet). I want to convert those PDFs to Calc file again for editing. Currently I am using a windows Machine with able2extract pdf converter for converting PDFs to .xls file. But it is not ideal solution for Linux and Openoffice users here.

Specifically, I hope to avoid having to untar the .tgz and simply convert it to the .tar.gz format.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to convert a 3gp (mobile phone video) file to PAL DVD format (which is I believe MPEG2 video and one of a few audio choices, in an MPEG PS container). But while the file plays fine in mplayer and vlc, my efforts to convert it, using either VLC or devede, always seem to result in either the converted video being speed up (noticeably, we're talking twice as fast or so not 5%), or in the audio going mickey-mouse. How can I get the file converted correctly? Bearing in mind it needs to be PAL not NTSC (so a lot of stuff I might find online isn't going to work as-is)

The server will have another drive for booting. What is the best way to get these mirrored drives into ext format while preserving my data? I plan to use software raid in Ubuntu as well. My only idea is to format a 3rd drive as ext and copy all the files over, seems inefficient though.

I have been searching for a while for a program to convert .flac files I rip off of cd's with my laptop (running Fedora 11) to a usable iTunes format for my desktop (running Win XP). The cd drive on my desktop is currently broken, so my fix of ripping on my desktop, then using Rhythmbox on my laptop is temporarily unavailable.
Any suggestions? I've tried audiokonverter, soundconverter, audio-convert-mod and each come up with errors or wouldn't install.
I need to manually convert an string ( like with echo ) to a DES crypt format to be inserted inside a /etc/shadow file, does anybody knows how can I do that?
Maybe there are some little tool that could handle that operation, well.. I don't know, hope someone can give me a hint on that.

I have spend the entire weekend trying to convert a mkv file with a DTS audio track to an AC3 audio track. I wrote a small article on it on my website with plenty of links and suggestions. 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:

View 1 Replies View Relatedi am converting my DVDs into a media library. The ripping itself is no problem. (using Xilisoft dvd-rip under wine; works flawless).
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..?
I have mediatomb (0.12.0~svn2018-6ubuntu2) installed on Ubuntu Server 10.04.2 LTS which I use to serve video to my PS3 (slim version). 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):
mencoder -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr=128 -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=1200 video.mkv -o video.avi
but the PS3 says the avi is an unsupported format.
I 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
Convert to PAL format
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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedTo Ubuntu after switching from Windows Vista. So far I really like it. 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?
