Hey Shane, If you really want to do what you're saying, you'll need mplayer to decode the wmv and lame to encode tha mp3.
BUT What you're describing (transcoding) means that you're going from a lossy format to _another_ lossy format, so you lose quality in the process. If your original wmv bitrate was lower than about 192, you'll probably be able to hear a difference. Plus, you'll need to choose a high mp3 bitrate, which means you'll likely _increase_ the end file size. Even if you've got really high-bitrate wmv files, why invest that time and energy when you can just play them with mplayer in the first place? Better yet, go find the CDs and rip straight to flac. :) Cheers, CMP On 2/13/06, Shane O'Donnell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Does such a thing exist in OSS?
