IMA ADPCM can't import

Post by DynV » Sat Dec 19, 2009 8:54 am

Well what do you know ! I just did a search and found the pretty similar thread IMA ADPCM raw-import button greyed out however I'd be necroposting if I'd continue it as it date back August 2008. I'm also wondering if the advices still apply.

I'm using my Casio Exilim EX-V7 (pretty sweet camera for the price) to record audio and the format given by Winamp is IMA ADPCM, 1 channel, 11025 Hz and I can't open it with Audacity 1.2.6 so it give me a notice to import raw data but doing so then choosing the format IMA ADPCM the Import button become disabled.

Thanks for your help

Recent versions of Audacity 1.3 can import ADPCM files if you have the optional ffmpeg library installed.

Oh yes it functions ! :)

I was hoping the markers that I've set on the camera and was mentioned in its manual would be somewhere on an extra layer or in metadata but I see nothing in the metadata and only see a single layer, perhaps there's a way to show hidden ones ?

Thanks
