 questions [ reply ]

Hi! I have some questions, not problems. I would like to know if the encoder to mp3 uses the new vbr algorithm or the old.
second, I have seen in other converter programs, the option to set the flac compression. I don't need it, just to know if the compression in soundconverter is the higher possible. And at last, is there a difference when you compress to ogg, choosing between bitrate or quality? For example choose 128k or quality 3?
Thank you very much!

1.
MP3 VBR uses lame's "new" algo.
2.
The exact gstreamer setting for flac is "flacenc mid-side-stereo=true quality=8"
That means lossless join stereo, and "8" level compression, the highest recommended.
BTW, the next version will have a parameter for flac compression level.
3. In fact, there is simply no bitrate choice for Ogg Vorbis, since it's VBR by design. SoundConverter displays an estimated bitrate when you are chosing vorbis compression quality, but it's only an estimation based on a few tests.

Skip Videos when converting. [ reply ]
2010-Jan-10 11:04
|
Hi sir,
WIll be nice a new checkbox to "Dont convert videos files" or "Skip video files".
Normally, I install this program to convert mp3 folders (friends computers too). But, yesterday I converted lot of videos to audio.
Normally, when start to convert, I use the "delete after convert" option.
Also if I want to skip videos by my self, I'll have to search in the whole list for each avi, mpg, etc.
Thanks a lot for this program. :)
Best regards!

ok almost have it figured out, it's not multiple files it the mp3, as soon as those go into the project it stops reading the tags on everything.

midi to wav file in Sound Converter [ reply ]
2009-Nov-22 07:31
|
When I tried to convert a midi file I made in Rosegarden to a wav file using Sound Converter it asks for some "bad" gstreamer plugins. Unfortunately, upon installation these conflict with the gstreamer plugins that are already installed and so the conversion stalls. Any way out of this?

Convert stereo file to mono [ reply ]
2009-Sep-24 02:39
|
Hi,
I think sound converter is a great tool, but there is one thing I miss. Conversion to mono. I most commonly listen to audio-books rather than to music. To save memory capacity I am used to encode audio-books to mono (it really makes no difference here, apart from saving space). So is there a way to tell sound converter to encode a stereo file to mono?
If not, do you consider this as a feature in a future release?

flac to ogg missing 320kbps bitrate [ reply ]
2009-Aug-20 15:59
|
Hi - I'm running Mandriva 2009.1 and soundconverter installed via rpm repositary: SoundConverter 1.4.4, Gstreamer version: 0.10.22 and Python binding version: 0.10.14
.
the only small problem I have is converting audio files (i.e. flac) to ogg - from the dropdown menu in Preferences I'm getting bitrates 64, 96, 128, 192, 256 and 500.
.
Bitrate 320kbps is missing. Is there any way how to set it up?
.
Thank you,
Ivan

I didn't have gconf-editor installed (as I'm using KDE). After I installed it and changed the key "vorbis-quality" to 0.9 the result of a test conversion was 320kbps (although the Preferences menu still displays 500).
.
Thanks a lot for a quick and very helpful answer, kassoulet!

It seems to be gcc related.
It's a shame since soundconverter is done in python, not to have those kinds of problems.
Install gcc or g++, I can say more...

edit /usr/bin/soundconverter (sudo gedit /usr/bin/soundconverter)
and insert a # at the start of line 558.
This is was a test, but wasn't removed, sorry.

Output files aren't tagged [ reply ]
2009-May-02 06:20

I am try to convert my music library from .wma to .ogg using SoundConverter on Fedora 10. When I add files to SoundConverter, all tags are read properly and displayed, however they are not added to the converted files. (I have tried to convert to every possible format, and the converted files are never tagged) Do you know what must be installed to allow tagging of output files?
Thanks,
Daniel

If you can write ogg vorbis file, everything needed is already present. Can you try to run "soundconverter --debug" in a terminal, and paste here the result so I can investigate more?

I am running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, Gstreamer 0.10.7-2 & Sound Converter 1.3.2-0ubuntu1.
When ever I try to start Sound Converter, it tries to start up, but shuts down before it does. Any thoughts? (Linux newbie, btw)

soundconverter ogg to mp3 in command line [ reply ]
2008-Dec-14 17:22
|
Hi,
I would like to convert ogg files to mp3 by using a soundconverter in a shell script. However, each time it creates an empty file. If I use the graphical interface I obtain a correct mp3 file.
By checking the debug messages I found that the parameters send to Gstreamer were not the same.
With the Graphical interface:
launching: 'gnomevfssrc location="file:///tmp/test.ogg"; name=src ! decodebin name=decoder ! audioconvert ! lame quality=2 vbr=4 vbr-quality=3 ! xingmux ! id3v2mux ! gnomevfssink location=file:///tmp/test.mp3'
But In command line the vbr parameter and the xingmux are not present:
$ soundconverter --debug -b -m audio/mpeg -s mp3 test.ogg
SoundConverter 1.0.1
using Gstreamer version: 0.10.18, Python binding version: 0.10.11
using gnomevfssrc
launching: 'gnomevfssrc location="file:///tmp/test.ogg"; name=src ! decodebin name=decoder ! audioconvert ! lame quality=2 ! id3v2mux ! gnomevfssink location=file:///tmp/testmp3'
test.ogg: -got file duration: 2
Queue done in 0s
Is it possible that the mp3 file is empty because of the missing parameters? If yes, is there a way to add them in the command line?
Thanks,
G.

I just found the problem. By using an other directory than /tmp the file was correctly converted.
Error was generated by gstream. By using gst-launch in command line I was receiving the following message:
ERROR: from element /pipeline0/oggdemux0: Internal data stream error.
Additional debug info:
gstoggdemux.c(3104): gst_ogg_demux_loop (): /pipeline0/oggdemux0:
stream stopped, reason not-negotiated
ERROR: pipeline doesn't want to preroll.
