Re: need a program to do this

Hi.

I'm sorry, but I havent got a program for you that does that native under linux. I dont know whether such a programs exists in the wide world. But have you considered using WINE (and running the program from your link on it)?

Just in case you need more information on WINE: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wine . Hope this helps

FFmpeg can encode in 3G2. GPAC can make it ISO compliant if FFmpeg doesn't get it on the first shot. If I remember correctly, Super uses FFmpeg. I'm not sure if the versions in the repos are new enough though. You can check with:

ffmpeg -formats | grep 3g2

Re: need a program to do this

cool, i guess il have some reading to do with ffmpeg, i always have a hard time with not. but i did try using super under wine yesterday, and it opens, but can't read anything on th ewindow, so its not exactly functional. i had to run it on a windows box i had to dig out of a closet. i did notice super was using ffmpeg too, so i figure that might be my best bet

anywya, i did get a couple converted last night, thought my phone won't recognize them, it recognized the first 3g2 files i put in there, wouldnt play them though since they werent encoded properly, now i put good files there, it doesnt see them

Re: need a program to do this

The command is straight forward:

ffmpeg -i <INPUT>.mp3 -vn -ar 22000 -ac 2 -ab 128k -acodec libfaac <OUTPUT>.3g2

The trouble is that FAAC in the repos is broken and has been for a very long time. For reasons beyond me the libmp4v2 patch won't apply either. As it stands right now FAAC can only produce mp2 audio. The information is in post #5 on this page if you're interested:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=51954

As I said, these will not work though. I ended up unpacking the source tarball, manually editing configure.in, repacking it, and removing the md5sums, as well as the patch command from the PKGBUILD to get it to work.
