Re: Can no longer import MP4 files into Aucacity

I've tried multiple MP4s, and all give me the same message. These are videos that I've downloaded from YouTube, and I am obtaining them in the same means that I always have. Therefore I don't think I need to run Mediainfo. There are indeed other ways to get audio from a video on YouTube, but I find...

Re: Export to Mono AAC

Unfortunately this is a way more complex answer than you probably want. The Manual is misleading - the behaviour depends on the FFmpeg version and the AAC encoder that version was built with. There is probably no easy answer. All the AAC encoders that FFmpeg can be built with have different issues, ...

Re: Can't Seem to Save Long Audio

I had better add that after the upcoming Audacity 2.0.6 is released, the "recommended" installer of FFmpeg will be updated to FFmpeg 2.2.2, but an "ffmpeg" binary that Audacity's command-line exporter can use won't be included for Mac. It's easy to find an "ffmpeg" bina...

Re: problem playing sound

I am using Audacity 2.0.5, installed by the Ubuntu package. I open any mp3 file and then play it using output device HDA Intel: VT2020 Analog (hw: 0,0). The sound seems to be at the right speed but is a bit distorted. However, if I play the mp3 with mplayer, it sounds right Is it the same noise you...

Re: Can't Seem to Save Long Audio

I am unsure what limitations AIFF has. I know WAV has some pretty serious limitations as documented here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Recording_length AIFF has the same 4 GB maximum file size limitation as WAV. I eventually got around the problem by exporting to FLAC and then using XLD to con...

Re: Can no longer import MP4 files into Aucacity

Get the version of MediaInfo without installer, because the installer may have malware or adware.

What does Help > Show Log... say in Audacity after you import the file?

Re: Easiest way to reassemble wav files after export?

I thought there was already a FR for "export from start of time-line" (perhaps different wording), though I don't see it on http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Feature_Requests It certainly should be on there because it's a feature that I requested shortly after that behaviour was scrapped....

Re: Always loop?

If you want to vote for a Preference or control that the play mode (looped or not) does not change when clicking or dragging again in the Timeline (so that if you were loop playing already, SHIFT would not be required to loop play the new Play Region but SHIFT would play it once), please say so.
