Audio conversion question

[Dunnyman]

Okay, due to the nice tutorial, I've been getting excellent results in Sizzle, BUT, I've got a massive amount of files that have been demuxed, muxed, remuxed, etc. Most of my audio is in mp2, but not at 48000, I have tried, and tried, and tried to use ffmpegX to convert it, followed every single direction on the tutorials, and it gives me an .avi file instead of an mp2. I give up, I can't get it to work for me no matter WHAT I do, but I need an audio conversion tool to make these few that need to be 48000 so's I can make some way cool DVD's!!!! What all do you recommend?

instead of starting with a .mp2 and making a new .mp2 use your source, .mpeg, .vob whatever, and only encode the audio to what you want. its like a demux and encode at the same time. thats how I do it

"twould be nice to do so, but the reason I'm trying this is the source was lost when a hard drive crashed on me. I can vaguely recall a few audio converting apps, but I can find anything via versiontracker, so if anyone knows of any simple apps, I'd be much thrilled!

In OS9 Classic you could use SoundApp Found here: http://www.spies.com/~franke/SoundApp/

If you have Toast 6, it will convert and upsample your audio from the .mov file. I make a discimage, keep the converted audio file and toss the image.

You could use Xray (or any file changing attribute app) to change the .m1a file . Here's the steps:
1) Using XRay to remove change Creator/Type attributes to <unknown>

2) change extension to .mp2 (can also be done in XRay)

3) Use iTunes to convert file to .aiff

4) Use A.Pak to convert audio (aiff) to AC3

XRay can be found at versiontracker.com

I had this problem recently too. The solution was a little utility called "MoreMissingTools" also known as More Missing MPEG Tools. There is a button you can use in this little utility that will convert MPEG audio to AIFF. After that you can drag it onto Toast or whatever.
