Hello thanks for all the tips... I figured out how to use ffmpeg to convert the PCM wav to MP2 wav on 256kbps when it originally was saying that mp2 doesn't support 256k bitrate. It only supports that bitrate when the mp2 audio is saved as a wav. Weird. On Tue, Mar 20, 2012 at 9:51 AM, Fernando De

Hello All, WAV is not a format, wav is a conteiner as Fred said, what we call wav is in fact PCM. WAV files can carry almost any format, such as ADPCM flavors, MP3, MP2, GSM, etc. Thank of wav being a box that you can fill with any format depending on wich codec you use. Regards, Fernando Dell

So if ffmpeg is saying 256kbps is not a supported bitrate for mp2 how do I convert my wavs to 256kbps mp2? On Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 5:44 PM, Patrick Schmalstig / WRRJ Radio < xana...@gmail.com> wrote: > Interesting because my computer still says the audio is in x-wav format. > But maybe it's just

Interesting because my computer still says the audio is in x-wav format. But maybe it's just basing that off of metadata and not actually looking at the audio file itself. On Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 5:18 PM, Fred Gleason wrote: > On Mar 19, 2012, at 17:02 43, Patrick Schmalstig / WRRJ Radio wrote: >

Patrick, I've never heard of a 256 kbps wav file. Wav is a PCM lossless format, and is thus always has a bitrate = sampling frequency * bit depth * channels. For CD quality (44.1 kHz, 16-bit, stereo) this works out to 1411.2 kbps. I know of no standard combination of the previously mentioned param

Thanks but it appears Rivendell doesn't actually save in mp2 on that setting but instead saves as a 256kbps wav file (NOT converted as an mp2 because according to ffmpeg mp2 cannot be converted in a bitrate of 256kbps). Is this true that it really isn't mp2 but actually just a lower bitrate wav?
