The VideoLAN Forums

I would like to use VLC media player to convert MP4 files with video information into MP3 audio files. I have configured the conversion like this:







The original MP4 file plays well (using, for instance, foobar2000 or the Windows Media Player). The converted MP3 file can't be played (foobar2000 says "Unable to open item for playback (Unsupported format or corrupted file)", and Media Player simply says that the output is corrupt.

Any idea why this is not working?

Found the problem! I have set the AUDIO Codec to MP4 instead of MP3.

"c:\program files\videolan\vlc\vlc" C:\Users\Andrew\Videos\GottaGo.mp4 --audio-filter equalizer --equalizer-preamp=7 --equalizer-band "-4.8 0 4 5.6 5.6 5.6 4 2.4 2.4 2.4" --no-equalizer-2pass --sout=#transcode{afilter=equalizer,vcodec=h264,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:standard{access=file,mux=ts,dst="C:\Users\Andrew\Videos\gotest.mp4"}

I can get this to work and play the output mp4 file without any problem in "Movies & TV" media player and video clip is fine. However, something inherent is wrong inside the file. Foobar2000 and Window media player can not play it beause it is regarded corrupted. Any idea? Anything wrong with the command line files above? Thx.

Anything wrong with the command line files above?

mux=mp4
Not ts.

Rather set mux=raw and use .mp3 extension.

cjlan01 wants to mux H.264+MPGA into an MP4 container
