#9616: MediaConverter doesn't convert to OGG or MP3 and converts to WAV with video ------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: Kev | Owner: nobody Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1/alpha5 Component: Audio & Video/Codecs | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: 10722 Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by pulkomandy): Well, ffmpeg actually is built with support for this, so making it available through the media kit is not going to make the legal side any better or worse. It's just a matter of adding the format to the list (which is as easy as what I did for flac in http://cgit.haiku- os.org/haiku/commit/?id=hrev48039). An ffmpeg 2 based add-on for gcc4 versions is also possible. There is already a recipe for ffmpeg 2.x but I'm not sure if it compiles currently. But it should be possible to port the changes from our previous ffmpeg ports. Then, the media plugin on Haiku side would need to be modified to use the new APIs from ffmpeg 2.x (it would probably beecome an "ffmpeg2" plugin and live next to the existing one). Finally, another thing you can test: {{{ pkgman install ffmpeg_x86 ffmpeg-x86 -i 01breakin_benjamin__so_cold.mp3 -acodec vorbis 01breakin_benjamin__so_cold.ogg }}} If that works, we will be sure our problem is compiling ffmpeg with gcc2. If the -x86 (gcc4) version of ffmpeg also crashes, the problem is elsewhere. If the problem is in ffmpeg, I'll see if I can get vorbis working using libvorbis, so we have at least one lossy encoder. And we can enable MP2 in ffmpeg too, if that one works. -- Ticket URL: <https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/9616#comment:11> Haiku <https://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
