Description: A modification of the "Quick and Dirty Transcoder" script to use ffmpeg instead of gstreamer. Very quick-and-dirty, only usable for transcoding files for transfer to media devices, but as far as I know the only way one can transcode to wma for a wma player.
hello. Your script is very great, but the quality of the output (when I trancode to an ipod) is always 64kbps. I want to convert my files to 128 kbps. Who I can get this?
pd: sorry but I speak spanish and my english is no so good xDDD
64 kbps is, indeed quite poor. You can edit the script (right-click on the script name in the script manager and hit edit). At approximately line 105 you'll see the call to ffmpeg. You can change it from:
error=`ffmpeg -i "$file" "$outfile" 2>&1`
to
error=`ffmpeg -i "$file" -ab 128 "$outfile" 2>&1`
in order to get 128 kb/s, etc.
