VLC Player with GoldWave

[hakionli]

Hi there,

I am using VLC player and it is awesome. I mainly use it because of its capability of playing mp3 and video files FASTER without distorting the human sound. VLC player is not distorting sound. That is really excellent and I like it a lot.

My question will come after I explain how I use it.

I make a file faster (x1.8 or x2.0 times) and record mp3 with Goldwave audio editor (showing the internal audio card as the recording source). But this process takes a lot of hours and when I start the computer and wait for hours to have the file completed. And I am not able to use the computer for any other audio purposes in the mean time.

My question is... Is there a way that I can use to record mp3 files faster. So that by a converter I can record them in minutes (instead of days) without having to listen to them or make a playback of them for goldwave to record them in the faster version. This will save me a lot of time because I am planning to record everything I have in a faster way for an educational purpose.

Please show me a way to do this without having to play them inside the computer.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Regards

What I mean is: I want to convert mp3/video files into 1.8x or 2x faster version and save them like that...

Please help...

And an other feature request is this...

Can I make VLC player my default player and then watch everything on the internet faster?

Example: I will go to youtube and watch any video faster than regular.

Now I am able to download videos and watch them locally by using faster mode of VLC player but I am willing to have a feature that allows watching anything faster by default without having to download them. Is this possible?

You can already transcode audio and video with --rate option in case you want save it the slower/faster.

I am not familiar with transcoding but I am really interested in getting this done. Please give more details on how to do it. Any help very much appreciated.

vlc --rate=2.00 --sout "#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:std{access=file,mux=raw,dst=c:\users\h\desktop\2.mp3}" c:\users\h\desktop\1.mp3

I used this command, it is opening vlc player to convert 1.mp3 into 2.mp3 with an indication of 2x playback rate on the interface but output is not saved as faster version. It's playback rate is exactly same as input file. How can I save a playback 1x into an other file of playback 2x (saving faster version of input).

Please help...

You are right, it doesn't work with audio files, but it does work with video files.

I tried a lot of mp3 tempo changers that can save many files in one time; make them faster and save them like that.. But...

But as far as I know, the best tempo changer is VLC player. I used 2.3x on one mp3 on an other software and the sound significantly changed to worse. This is not happening in VLC player and I really need the stretching effect of VLC player... I can donate some money (an amount that I can afford) if somebody develops a feature in VLC player that converts a folder full of files into faster versions of choice.

Do you know any other software that I can use with this quality?

Please help...

Finally... I discovered that GoldWave already has Time Warp (playback rate) option and even you can batch process thousands of files/folder just by a few steps...

For Video rate changing and saving, I will use VLC Player...

Thank you very much for help. I really appreciated it.

Have a great day...

Hey Guys,

I don't know what kind of an algorithm you have inside VLC player.. But I am not able to get the same quality with goldwave or anything else.

Under this topic I described my aim. I am trying to convert everything I have to 2x, or even more, fast versions. I used Goldwave's Similarity and FFT and several other softwares but none of them gives me the audio sound I can get from VLC player...

Please either tell me the way to batch-convert audio into faster versions easily or tell me what algorithm is used inside playback, so that I can make sure same algorithm is used in other softwares that can make batch-convert.

Why do I need this? Because I am changing my way of learning... I am willing to change everything I listen into much faster versions. I am describing this in a website as a new skill and I want to have practical software that can do that for people...

Please help...
