So far I've only used FFmpeg with Audacity 1.3.12 (both from the Ubuntu 10.10 repository).
I've not investigated Audacity 1.3.13 with FFmpeg. Would you like me to?

With the assistance of "FFmpeg", Audacity 1.3.12 supports a lot more audio formats than the old 1.2.6 version. http://audacityteam.org/download/ http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=FAQ:Installation_and_Plug-Ins#installffmpeg ...

Same problem in Gentoo GNU/Linux. audacity-1.3.12 ffmpeg-0.6_p25423 Soft installed from updated portage tree (2010-11-10). 12:56:16 AM: AVCodec version 0x345c00 - 52.92.0 (built against 0x345c00 - 52.92.0) 12:56:16 AM: AVFormat version 0x345000 - ...

According to the Olympus website, the VN-6200 PC records in WMA format.
Audacity 1.3 will recognise WMA if the FFMpeg library is installed. The instructions to download and install FFMpeg are here:

SLN is a Visual Studio file. You can install lame software and FFMpeg software and see if Audacity will recognize the format. http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_windows If not, then you'll need to convert the file to a WAV or other format that Audacity ...

... That's what "lame" does. H.264 compression/format is licensed from MPEG-LA (Apple, Microsoft, Sony, et al.). That's what "FFMpeg" does. None of these software packages, real or open source, can be included in the free Audacity program deliverable. What you do later ...
