Convert Mobile Phones, MP3 incomplete frame error

[Christopher Forster]

Hi, a Convert Mobile Phones & MP3 (Mono) problem.

[SOLVED] Unknown codec 'libmp3lame'

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-53

But WinFF 1.4.1 still has a problem:

Thanks for taking the time to report this issue.

> Error while decoding stream #0.1

This seems like a problem with the input file (not the DEcode). Please
verify that this problems exists with other files as well.

Just a side note, it would probably be better for the future to use
/usr/bin/avconv in stead of the (in Ubuntu) obsolete /usr/bin/ffmpeg (in
Winff -> Edit -> Preferences -> Linux -> Path to ffmpeg executable).

Issue 147 - winff - FFmpeg is going to be replaced by avconv on Debian and Ubuntu - WinFF is a GUI to the command line video converter FFmpeg - Google Project Hosting http://code.google.com/p/winff/issues/detail?id=147

[Paul Gevers (paul-climbing)]

Sorry to take so long to respond to comment #3, but what has this comment to do with the bug? It is related to my side note in comment #2, but that has nothing to do with the bug I assume.

You haven't answered my question: Please verify that this problems exists with other files as well.

[Christopher Forster (christopherforster)]

FFmpeg is not being developed anymore, but Libav is. Could this bug still be solved?

[Paul Gevers (paul-climbing)]

Could you please explain what you expect? The upstream bug has nothing to do with the issue here. Winff doesn't care if it is ffmpeg or avconv you are using. The presets so far should be compatible.

Please provide the requested information: Please verify that this problems exists with other files as well.

Also already mentioned in this bug: It would probably be better for the future to use
/usr/bin/avconv in stead of the (in Ubuntu) obsolete /usr/bin/ffmpeg (in
Winff -> Edit -> Preferences -> Linux -> Path to ffmpeg executable).

And ffmpeg is still being developed, it is just not included in Ubuntu and Debian at this moment. The packagers moved with the libav fork. This might be different in the future thou.

I expected a "Convert Mobile Phones" file from the AVI file, instead I got the errors mentioned before. I could do some micro-volunteering latter and try another AVI file.

[Christopher Forster (christopherforster)]

A Flash Video (FLV) file with "Convert Mobile Phones" was converted into a MP3 file. (Path to ffmpeg executable: /usr/bin/ffmpeg).

Output from Terminal:

So everything is going ok now? Or is it something else that you try to
communicate. Please be a little bit more verbose in you reports. What do
you want me to fix?

"Convert Mobile Phones" option became a .mp3 from a .flv, without a video image. If libav (avconv) works better I don't know. However same video converted by Arista Transcoder works, both with video and audio.

But YOU ASKED for a mp3 in the preset: "Convert Mobile Phones & MP3
(Mono)". So you get an mp3, which can not contain video as it is a audio
container. So if I understand you right, you just selected a preset with
different expectations than was meant?

[Christopher Forster (christopherforster)]

Then the .flv conversion worked(?). About the .avi error while decoding: I should try another input file with a different kind of codec too? There are many codecs for an AVI file, since an AVI file can be compressed in a variety of ways.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect 1014613

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

[Paul Gevers (paul-climbing)]

Don't know why, but this bug keeps showing up even after 60 days of incomplete state. Closing now as invalid.
