Converting to MP3 with new version of VLC

[Portmanteau]

Hi

Can anybody help convert a FLV - MP3 using VLC Media Player 0.9.8a Grishenko please.

Try going to:
Media >> Convert / Save...

And select you input file. Then press "Convert". In the "Stream Output" window tick "File" and enter a destination (e.g. "C:\OUT.mp3"). From the "Profile" drop-down box select "MP3".

Then press "Save". An output MP3 file (128kbps CBR MP3) should be created. If you want a different bitrate (e.g. 192 or 320) then change the value in the "Generate stream output string" before pressing "Save".

Arite.

I am having a similar problem

I did what was suggested but the audio keeps coming out stretched.

I looked at the original files properties (1 channel, 64 kbps, mp3 codec, samplerate 22.05 kHZ)
I changed the output channel and bitrate to the same, but it keeps giving me stretched audio
(original file is 3:00+ and the output turns to 9:00+ minutes distorted)

Can someone help me with this problem please? Is it something in my settings I need to change?
(somewhere to change samplerate perhaps?)

To set a samplerate add e.g.:

Code: Select all

samplerate=22050

To the #transcode part of the sout string. So for example:

Code: Select all

:sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=64,channels=1,samplerate=22050}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=raw,dst=OUTPUT}}

Try 44100 as well.

Use FLVExtract. No need for trancode and it is much faster.
