wav to mp3 lecture files
Reply #14 – 2005-10-24 01:12:09
alright cool thanks i figured out how to get foobar to decompress the wav file to 88mb which is what it should be, but im not exactly sure how you would get it lame to then kick and and compress it. im looking to get a file size about 1/6 or so of the 88mb file, so maybe around 10-15 mb mp3. you were saying using -b 32 --resample 22.05 --lowpass 5.5 or something similar but im not exactly sure where to put that so that lame will do it automatically. thanks for all your help! andrew [a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=335726"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a] 1) In foobar2000's Preferences, click on "Diskwriter". 2) In the middle of the page, you'll see "Output presets" and a drop-down menu. Click on the "Add new" button underneath it. 3) Select "Command line encoder" and click OK. This will open a settings dialog box. 4) In the Encoder field, browse to your lame.exe and select it. In the Extension field type "mp3", no quotes, of course. In Parameters, type the LAME command line. For example: -b 32 --resample 22.05 --lowpass 5.5 - %d Note that this particular one is for "strict compatibility," i.e. CBR (some hardware MP3 players have less-than-perfect ABR/VBR support), and you'll get better results using one of the --abr or -V command lines from earlier in the thread (or even just using a higher lowpass setting in the above command line, as you'll be able to evaluate its effect on each file). Just replace the above with the correct parameters, and then always end the line with - %d This tells LAME to take its input from stdin (-) and output to a file (%d). Type a name to describe the profile in the Display Name field. 5) Now, when you right-click on the files in the playlist and select "Convert" -> "Run conversion", you should be able to select your new profile from the drop-down menu.
