Hi,

gst-launch filesrc location=Bureau/test.ts ! mpegtsdemux name=demux program-number=12041 ! queue ! mpeg2dec ! ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink demux. ! queue ! mad ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! alsasink

I like to play audio in mode stereo but audio is encoded in mono mode.

someone help me to add a caps or any plugin to set audio mode? thanks

Hi, I used:

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr=3 vbr-quality=0 quality=0 vbr-min-bitrate=256 vbr-max-bitrate=320 lowpass-freq=25000 ath-lower=0 ! id3v2mux

And its gives me 256kbps! I'm a big audio fan so 5MB audio files is fine by me. Taking it up to 320kbps would be nicer, but this will do. Thanks.

Sound Juicer sounds great on paper (blog pages?), but 20% of the time I get the error message that it can't read the track listing.

Grip, on the other hand, always works. I think clean and mean is great, but if it doesn't work then it isn't a very good piece of software.

Can i suggest for high quality MP3's using:

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 preset=extreme

This uses the lame preset for extreme which is variable bitrate at a high bitrate. FOr more info just type

lame --preset help.

Just create a new preset in sounds juicer with the settings as above.

I had a lot of trouble getting high-quality mp3s out of sound-juicer/gstreamer. Using the version installed from the repository from Ubuntu 8.10, it seems the only way to get gstreamer to work the way you want is to override every one of its default settings with something you want. I was finally able to use this pipeline: audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr=4 vbr-quality=0 quality=0 vbr-min-bitrate=32 vbr-max-bitrate=320 lowpass-freq=25000 ath-lower=0 ! id3v2mux

to get insane-quality VBR files equivalent to lame -m stereo -q 0 --vbr-new -V0 --add-id3v2 {infile} {outfile}

I used VLC's statistics feature as suggested above and found these files to have the same stream bitrate and variability with files created by command-line invocation of LAME using the above parameters. I hope this helps someone.

I have struggled with this in Heron for a while, gave up on sound juicer because after editing in profiles it removed the one I edited and I was left with 3 not four…. the MP3 option shows up as editable but never is available to be selected. I tried creating new profiles and they too were not available to be selected as options although they saved just fine. I am not sure why but I just cant seem to get this one…. I have not tried the sudo route noted above, perhaps that is next.. but with all the comments it would seem that I don’t need to do that? sigh…. working with grip right now perhaps it will get the job done….. but not as of yet… Luck

Just remembered I struggled with this for a while and then discovered the correct settings in sound juicer’s help menu!!! Also with Hardy 8.04 this works out of the box no configuration needed.

This was my problem for some time: I edited an existing & created a new mp3 profile (which wasn’t needed) but Sound Juicer would not show the mp3 profile for applying. (Working with Ubuntu 7.04 on AMD_64.)

Solution: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse See: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=581306
