Thanks. I solved the problem. There is a script for grabbing the activation code from the registered audible account. That is, you have to have an Audible login account, and books in your library.
The original has a small error, so I forked it from Github, and applied the patch. Well, the patch is already there, but not synched…. and I can see no way of contacting the author? So I forked my own copy. https://github.com/ShanghaiTimes/audible-activator This is not my code - and it’s simple Python code, and easy to run from the command line. and then 1. ffmpeg -activation_bytes xxxxxxxx -i Volume1.aax -vn -c:a copy -v debug Voume1.mp4 will work. > On 14 Jan 2016, at 09:22, Moritz Barsnick <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Thu, Jan 14, 2016 at 08:33:41 +0000, Robert Chalmers wrote: >> [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x7f9684000000] [aax] file checksum == >> d72f1f04e3c73d0bc68e742db1bc69b58dc3a500 >> [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x7f9684000000] [aax] mismatch in checksums! >> [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x7f9684000000] error reading header >> [AVIOContext @ 0x7f9683700420] Statistics: 32768 bytes read, 0 seeks >> Volume1.aax: Invalid data found when processing input > > That's certainly the message when the activation key is incorrect.
