I’ve been trying to convert some *.m4a files to *.mp3’s so I can play them on my mp3 player. I can play the m4a files on my system just fine, but JRipper fails with the following log entry:

Ran the 10 steps for multimedia and everything is fine - just can’t seem to convert these blasted mp4’s. I’m going to give K3b a try next and see what results I get on that.

what about ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i filename.m4a newname.mp3

That worked for transcoding the files. Thank you. :slight_smile:

JRipper still doesn’t work though, which is strange because all the codecs, etc. are installed. Unless I’m missing a program JRipper is looking for? The ones mentioned in the log file are installed, so I’m not seeing what the trouble is.

One thought: Could this be a Java Problem? As in JRipper may want a different version?

Have you done this on Packman

Yes, I’m running the Packman multimedia packages. I’ll double check when I get home (as I’m at work right now.) Maybe something will turn up . . .
