hi!

I little question... how can I know the right audio codec used in 1 ave file? vlc just show mpga for everything, mp3, ac3, etc...
Is there any way to know it?

Or maybe using another application, if vlc can not do it...


TIA, and sorry for the bad english

usually, for all sorts of identification issues I might have on Linux, I simply use the file command.

try and this should give you some informations.

wow dimstar, I did not know about that command...
it is really simple and usefull...

thanks a lot!
