MP3 Codec missing ?!
Hello Chris thanks for your quick answer/suggestion - however, I just checked a few minutes ago by re-installing my old version 4.6 of XATSHOW, prepared a short slide show and added a MP3 from my misic library for the music - IT STARTED TO CONVERT THE AUDIO FILE without errors. (I think the file was 44100 Hz, 128 Kbps and joinm stereo). It would be a pitty when you have to convert your MP3 files before you can use them in the new version .... will consume a lot of additional time. rergards, Michael > Hello Michael, > > Are you sure it worked with xatshow 4? > > xatshow 5 is supposed to give you better messages .... > > Here is my stock answer: > > The windows codec is a bit fussy and doesn't like some MP3s, usually low bit > rate (<96 kbit/s or mono). > > You need to convert the MP3 to a more standard format (eg 128kbit stereo) or > convert it to a WAV file. > > We may improve this with a future release. > > An application like CDEX (freeware) will allow you to convert the audio file you > have to one which is more standard (and compatible with xatshow). > > You can download CDEX from: > > http://www.cdex.n3.net/ > > We plan to improve this problem in a future release. > > Chris. > > >Installed this afternoon the new version 5 (Wow what an improvement - > > compliments!!) - have been using XATSHOW to ful satisfaction after > >I bought my digital camera.
