I managed to build custom FFmpeg 0.8.6 and compiled Audacity to work with it. Well done. x264: ./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --bindir="$HOME/bin" --enable-shared FFmpeg: ./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --extra-cflags="-I$HOME/ffmpeg_build/inc...

So are you saying you had to set the (Default) string value in that key to "9.0.30729.1" as per the Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest shipped with Audacity? I was a little sceptical because I only have one number in that key which is "9.0.30729.8387", but I don't have an issue with th...

Are you saying the packaged build of Audacity that comes with Ubuntu 14.04 does not have FFmpeg support?

Steve, I know it's all optional and I appreciate your hard work. But sadly we are not in position to tell what recordings format should be sent to us. We are press agency and we have to edit and convert whatever comes our way. There are no legal or ethnical reasons. It's the same as we have to open...

Thanks for posting what the solution was. This lets us mark the topic [SOLVED], which helps other users.

I cannot open my AUP files, even though they are not only WITH the _data folder, but they all share the same name. Yes, I moved them. Don't. Simple as that. If you want to rename or move an Audacity project, File > Save Project As... . Nothing else. So after a bit of poking around, I learned they n...

If you had the sound of car horn waking waking you up every night, besides ear plugs, what sound would you choose to mask it? One night I recall there was a car alarm going off for hours outside. Not the same sound, I know, but I just generated 0.4 amplitude white noise in Audacity and loop-played ...
