How do I convert a 48KHz wav to 44KHz?

[Raiders757]

Hello,

I tried a new way of capturing the audio from one of my music DVD's, and it worked great except for one thing. Somehow I ended up with 48KHz wav files, and my CD bruning software claims that the files aren't of good enough quality to burn to CD-R.

I am assuming this is because the files are 15Hkbs 48KHz .wav files, instead of 44KHz. Is this correct, and if so, how do I convert the wavs to 44KHz? (note: I would prefer to use a free program, as my wallet has gotten a little tight as of late)

I used the search function in this forum and others with no luck, as well as spent the last two hours searching the web, and trying to use some of the porgrams I already have, such as CDwav and Audacity. I am now at my witts end, as I could have sworn this would be a very easy task to figure out.

I am hoping I don't have to redo it all over, as that will have made my efforts a waist of time.

For the record, I used DVD Decrypter to rip the show, and Ac3Tool to creat the .wav file. Normaly I use DVDtoAVI to make the .wav file, but tried Ac3Tool after reading a post in this forum on how to rip my DVD's using less space on my hard drive etc. Normaly I just extract all the .VOB files from the DVD then use DVDto AVI, but it just takes up loads of hard rive space which I don't have.

Thanks to anyone who can hlep me out.

Thanks guys.

I have Besweet installed on my PC, but I haven't ever used it. Looks like nows a good time to check it out. It just seems a bit odd to use though, as I am not familiar with using comand-line programs. Which is why I voided the posts that mentioned that program, when I did my search. Also, not one of the results mentioned anything about converting to 44KHz with Besweet.


I'll go look for a FAQ.

Thanks again.

This is actually quite easy to do in Audacity.
Open the 48khz wav
At the bottom of the screen change the Project Rate to 44.1khz and then Export wav.
