Use this command instead in FFmpeg 3.x.x: ffmpeg -i source.g729 dest.wav Now I'll be damned. That works! I still can't quite understand how but it actually works! It's not exactly how I wanted it to work (just load the file into audacity and be fine with it) but having it run on ffmpeg prior to edi...

Which FFmpeg version is that? Did you get the latest from http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ ? I tried both with this one http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win32/shared/ffmpeg-3.3.1-win32-shared.zip and also this one too http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win64/shared/ffmpeg-3.3.1-win64-shared.zip What...

If your IT policy allows running applications extracted from ZIP files, you could try official Audacity https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html/audacity-win-2.1.3.zip . Yep, our IT policy just states that we cannot install software without previous consent, for which we would need to login with a hig...

Try it now. Do you see a PM button under Steve's name? Thanks Gale. But as per my previous post you don't have standard G.729 files and I somewhat doubt FFmpeg will open G.729 wrapped in WAV. Well, in fact ffmpeg did open G.729A wrapped in a WAV but the output of it's conversion was corrupted. So m...

That file opens fine on my machine. Hmmm, how intriguing, because in my case (as you can see on my 1st post Audacity log) it simply won't open. Can you actually hear people talking in a foreign language? Because ffmpeg would error out on this file but still would output a converted file that had no...

Hmmm, how can I PM you a link to the google drive file? I can't find a PM button around here...

Hi steve, First of all, thank you very much for your support. You see, this audio file is a corporate call recording and the company says I am not allowed to disclose this to the general public. But since you've been so helpful this far, I think you might not mind if I gave you the recording as long...

Errrr...I'm not 100% sure they're valid. In fact, all I know is that Audacity couldn't do anything with them. Then I loaded them on a website called http://audio.online-convert.com/convert-to-wav and it worked perfectly. Apart from that, MediaInfo says it's G.729. Complete name : C:\Users\blablah\Do...

Greetings. I'm using Audicity 2.1.3 on a laptop running Windows 7. Also, I have downloaded the FFmpeg 2.2.2 library and configured Audacity to use it. I'd like to convert some G.729 files to ADPCM and do some editing on them but apparently Audacity is unable to load the audio file. Am I doing someth...
