Re: Avidemux or simplescreenrecorder problem

Eureka - I've finally managed to convert the video to Xvid with audio using FFconvert which is available in Dpup Stretch and it plays on the TV perfectly.

I guess their must be a problem with Avidemux.

Re: Avidemux or simplescreenrecorder problem

The plot thickens, I attempted to convert a file with Avidemux I downloaded and converted many years ago and, guess what, no audio.

Re: Avidemux or simplescreenrecorder problem

Mike, unless I've misunderstood your tutorial you click on the 3 dots in Preferences - Multi-frame - Audio Settings then navigate to /dev then select the required 'block' device.
I have 2 audio 'blocks' in /dev, audio and audio1. I have tried them both but still no audio.

Any ideas?

Phil.

Re: Avidemux or simplescreenrecorder problem

Mike, I've been playing with XVidCap but can't find out how to route the audio to the sound card output. If it can be done it's ideal for what I want.
How is it done?
