Audio quality issues with mpd

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I have been using mpd for a long time now and absolutely love it. However, I recently added a few video files to the mpd database. Now I understand mpd won't play the video files, I don't want it to. But when mpd plays the audio track of the video file, there is a lot of static noise in the output. My other audio files work perfectly with mpd. As do these video files in other players like mplayer and vlc. This leads me to conclude that the audio track on these videos is not of bad quality. There is something wrong in the way mpd handles them. Can anyone suggest what might be wrong and how (HowTos)

Normally VLC plays all of my files just fine.

Hi guys,

I really hope someone can help. I've been using my Epic 4G Touch for recording HD video for about a year now. I edit everything on Vegas Movie Studio Platinum v.11. Everything was fine until a couple of months ago.

Doesn't matter the player.. tried SMPlayer and VLC. After opening numerous video files, the players only play audio. Video will play in Chromium and Firefox, just not in video players. I'd watch a bunch of trailers I downloaded, and after say 10 or so, just get audio. I must say I'm vexed. I'd even need a solution, just an idea of what is the issue.

I have a few high quality video files in a number of formats.

I'd like to burn them so I can watch them on my DVD player.

I'd like a program similar to Nero, which can transcode the files and burn them to a DVD, as well as doing things like automatically splitting the video up into chapters.

Quality is very important: My files are 1080p blu-ray rips, and I'd like control over video and audio qu

Introduction If you have a music video on your computer, and you want to extract the audio to put it on your cellphone, your mp3 player, your car stereo or any other place you want to hear the music in that video, you can use ffmpeg to extract the audio. Please be sure to respect all copy rights before using this command. How to extract audio mp3 from a video file Maybe the most useful application

I'm working on a script that will search through a directory for MKV files and remux them to MP4. I found a few other scripts around the net that do this, but they all have limitations that don't always get the job done. The main limitation I've found is that most scripts look for the video track in either the first track or the last track, which isn't always true.

So to start out with, I having figured out how to animate a number of still frames into a video, like this:

avconv -f image2 -i %06d.png -r 24 -qscale 1 aniron.avi

I have a bunch of files in the directory named 000000.png, 000001.png, 000002.png. I am able to make a video of sufficiently high quality this way.

mplayer/VLC WMV files 1 year 21 weeks ago

I have video files in .wmv Microsoft ASF format. mplayer (console version which shows a video window without any controls) will play these but VLC won't (only audio plays). Installed mplayer-gui, but it won't launch and complains about some LIBAV-something environment variable... ?

You can easily extract audio from video files such as avi, mpg, even flv! into mp3 uses either mplayer or ffmpeg. You can even record online stream into mp3, such as stream from radio cast.
