Thanks James for the replay,
My question is, by using ffmpeg, will I get a mpeg L2 BWF-compatible wav
file? If not I won't get a wave form in RDlibrary, this would be the
same problem I am facing with ogg-vorbis. I really need to have access
to the features in RDlibrary to set markers etc.
Thanks,
Daniel
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg (or yum, whichever)
Replace .ext with the original extension here (in both places):
for i in *.ext;do ffmpeg -i "$i" -acodec mp2 -ab 256k -ar 48000
"${i%.ext}.mp2"; done
This will use ffmpeg to make a new file next to each .ext file in MPEG
Layer 2 audio at 256k with a 48kHz sample rate. Tweak numbers to suit.
Anything ffmpeg can read, it'll work. You should also be able to compile
ffmpeg with TwoLAME support for even better encoding quality - if you
don't fancy recompiling, use ffmpeg to export WAV (just change .mp2 to
.wav above and remove the -acodec and -ab parameters) and after the
second semicolon, add this: twolame -s 48000 -b 256 "${i%.ext}.wav"
"${i%.ext}.mp2";
for i in *.ext;do ffmpeg -i "$i" -ar 48000 "${i%.ext}.wav"; twolame -s
48000 -b 256 "${i%.ext}.wav" "${i%.ext}.mp2";rm -rf "${i%.ext}.wav";done
Once you've done the conversion you can go ahead and verify the files
work, move the old .ext files to offline storage in case you ever need
them and you should have an MP2 library.
Cheers,
James Harrison
