Actually, I am quite irritated. This application is too buggy for use. |

| | | .m4a decoding
May 14 2008 on content soundKonverter |
mplayer strikes me as very unstable when faced with an ALAC track. ffmpeg seems able to convert many of these same files if run by itself on the command line.
Then, I have a few files that ffmpeg will itself seg. fault on, but I think the decoding is making it to completion or nearly so, before the seg. fault occurs. I will have to check the last second of these files to see if it made it all the way to the end.
In general, I think it makes more sense when decoding .m4a files to just call ffmpeg directly, rather than to call mplayer.
I am not aware of a build for mp4als in any Ubuntu repository, but there is a build for alac-decoder and that seems to work on every ALAC file I have tried so far.
The fact that .m4a is a container for different kinds of formats, such as AAC and ALAC, it is necessary to have several tools available for dealing with these files when migrating from an iTunes environment. I think that possibly what would be best for the sK .m4a decoding back-end options, would be to provide faad, ffmpeg, and alac-decoder.

| | | ffmpeg seg faults
May 14 2008 on content soundKonverter |
It seems that my problem is that I am getting a segmentation fault in ffmpeg when attempting to decode some .m4a files that contain an ALAC track, but not all.
I am restricting my testing to just those files that don't cause a seg. fault to test other aspects of soundKonverter.

| | | Testing 3.7 Build
May 14 2008 on content soundKonverter |
I am testing my Ubuntu 8.04 build of soundKonverter 3.7, using ./configure --with-mp4v2.
The program runs, but now I have no .m4a capability at all. The files I am trying to convert were made by iTunes, and are Apple Lossless and have a .m4a extension.
If I try to use the default faad back-end, decoding fails immediately. The error message in the log file reads "Unable to find AAC soundtrack in mp4 file." Well, yeah - there is no AAC track, it is an Apple Lossless track. I don't think faad supports Apple Lossless, and maybe I had run into this with 3.6 anyway.
Next, I tried mplayer as the back-end. This time decoding began, but then according to the log file, mplayer crashed.
It does not appear that Apple Lossless decoding works anymore. I am not sure what happened here - I was able to decode .m4a files under Gutsy, and now there seems to be a regression, as now I cannot.
This is not moving in the forward direction.

Ok, with the last fix to the source, I got it to configure, build, and install on my 8.04 machine! I am running it now.
I am going to do a bit of testing...

May 8 2008 on content soundKonverter |
I am trying to build soundKonverter under Ubuntu 8.04, and I am still getting the following error message from ./configure --with-mp4v2:
config.status: error: cannot find input file: src/patches/Makefile.in
Any suggestions?
