[Flashcoders] Chipmunk-sounding MP3s?
I've got a presentation engine built which loads up audio/video/text from external files as defined in a presentation XML file. Works fine, of course until the client tries to start changing content. The MP3s they're using are voice-overs encoded at 16kbps mono which play fine in QuickTime Player, but when loaded into Flash (via the Sound object) play back at super-speed and pitched up. I was told at some point that Flash can only handle certain encodings and bitrates of MP3s, but 16k/mono is one of the options for exporting, so I would expect that it would be able to handle loading them as well. Is there a list of what bitrates are supported somewhere? Google isn't giving me any love. thanks, -josh ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] Chipmunk-sounding MP3s?
Nevermind, found it myself. As it turns out, the bitrate doesn't matter so much as the sample rate. Flash only supports 11, 22, and 44khz, and seems to freak out otherwise. http://www.sonify.org/home/feature/remixology/004_prepareloops/ page2.html -josh On Jun 24, 2006, at 7:26p, Josh Santangelo wrote: I've got a presentation engine built which loads up audio/video/ text from external files as defined in a presentation XML file.

I don't think it's the bitrates, but the hertz.

Re: [Flashcoders] Chipmunk-sounding MP3s?
Hello, I had the same problem this helped clear things up. http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?thread=High_Speed_Play you have to use a sample rate of 44100Hz, I've used 22050Hz with no problems, along with a constant bit rate (CBR) and that will take care of the chipmunks problem. Perhaps you are using a variable bitrate on compression. Hope this helps. Matt Mc Ramon Miguel M. Tayag [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't think it's the bitrates, but the hertz.
