Chip,First of all, thanks for the feedback. Should of course have made sure things worked, before I told you it would. But that is what you get from being eager to help. Smile.
If you have any AVI file that you could send me, it would be great, as that would let me have something here for later testing. Thanks,
I have reported your findings to the developers of MaPlEr. That is the way the software has come this far - by frequent user feedback and request. Being a project of leasure time, it might take a few days for the team to get back with some reply. Hopefully there will be a workaround, and it could be implemented in a later version. Thanks again for your feedback.
And just to straighten things, in case you were wondering. No, I am not part of the developing team, or in any way ecconomically connected to the MaPlEr project. But for the last three years or so, I have been in close contact with the team, since I am the author of the translations into both Norwegian and Danish of their software. This has lead to me being quite deep into the history of the last few years, when comes to the software. I am further offering support for the Scandinavian users, and that is another reason why I would know the software and its characteristics quite well. But, as you just discovered, apparently not well enough. OK, that should confirm the fact - I am not perfect. Smile!
Since you made us aware of the situation, I will let you know, when I get a feedback from the team. And, if my memory holds, maybe I'll drop you a line if there is going to be a new release that addresses the very matter.
At least you got to have your hands on a piece of accessible software. And if for nothing else, it might just prove beneficial for other projects of yours. Did you realize some of the other interesting features of the software? Like the equalizer, that even can be set for each single track in the playlist. The same individual setting can be done for things like speed, pitch and volume. Or, the nice CUEING feature, that will let you cue forward or backward in your audiobook, like on the good old tape recorders. That's just to mention a couple of features, that did come around, due to user requests. Have fun!

Yes David, it was a problem with Mapler and .avi file conversion. I'll sendyou a sample file. thanks.

Chip?Are you talking about MaPlEr giving a message when trying to converting AVIfiles? Or are you talking in general cross different software?If you are talking about MaPlEr, then let me take it to the developing team,as this might need a bit of fixing. As I said, I don't have any AVI fileshere, so can't test it myself. Would you happen to have any such file, thatyou could send me, that I have a bit for testing? The team is working on anew version of the software, so if it can be fixed, maybe there is a chanceto have them looking at the matter before that next release. Sorry, if I have misunderstood your feedback.' ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chip Orange" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2011 4:14 AM Subject: RE: Sound Forge, Audacity???Thanks much David for the tip, but I don't think it will do this. I'm notpositive that the problem isn't me, but it gives a vague error message (just saying there was an error) each time that I try converting .avi files to any other format (even though it will play them). Guess I'll have to do some real work and search the web. thanks.

Chip, I would suggest for you to give MaPlEr from http://mar-dy.com a try. It should give you the chance of making .avi into .mp3; although I haven't tested that particular conversion myself, since I don't have any .avi files at hand. If you go to the above website, and choose the first link, then scroll down to the download link, you will get a fully functional demo, with no othertime limit, than that it will speak out a message every 90 seconds. And ifyou need any further help in figuring how to do the conversion, drop me a message at [email protected] and I will walk you through. The player is 100% accessible, being developed by visually impaired staff.

Would you know if Audacity would do this for me? thanks.

I was wondering if anyone has downloaded and tried Audacity? It is free and has many plug-ins. As far as I can tell it works fine with Windoweyes and needs no help except maybe in some editing features which I have not tried. I use it to convert MP3 to OGG and reverse... Bruce Sent: Thursday, September 01, 2011 2:13 PM Subject: Re: Sound Forge, was: scripts for yahoo messenger Just to clarify, Sound Forge is a professional audio mastering suite. It's an audio editor like a word processor. You can cut, copy, paste, delete, move, fade in and out, layer, and so on. But the real processing that sets it far apart from something like Gold Wave is that it comes right out of the box with 50 something processing plug-ins; equalizers, compressors, gates, reverbs, and so on and so on. And that's just what comes with it. There are endless other plug-ins you can add.I started scripting it ages ago. The MSAA implementation turned out to bea huge mess that wasted a couple months of my time after I discovered exception after exception after exception wherein it would return bogus information. So anyone interested in scripting it, be forewarned. I keep thinking I'll get back to it, but my studio was destroyed in a flood and remains as gutted and empty as it made my bank account. So I haven't much incentive seeing as I seldom use it any more and have other work obligations consuming my time. And I got to know it inside and out prior to scripting anyway.
