Audio Converter in MediaSource-Format Conversion is not support

Just bought a ZEN Micro and I have a question about the Audio Converter in MediaSource. Everytime I try to convert a file I am getting this error: Format Conversion is Not supported.Fo example I just tried to convert a 92kbps MP3 to a 28kbps MP3. I also tried to convert the same file to a 28 WMA. Both times I got the Format Conversion is Not Supported Error. I have tried a few different files with no success.Please HELP!
I emailed customer service and they told me to just reinstall MediaSource..Seems like thats the standard answer to everything...Any other suggestions would be helpful!
Thanks

Faztang,
Reinstalling MediaSource can often resolve problems like this because they may be caused by a file that was not copied over correctly during install. This is usually a good first suggestion but it certainly isn't the only suggestion they will offer.
What if you use the standalone version of the file converter, does it give you the same errors? Also if you haven't yet uninstalled and reinstalled you might try installing into a different directory as that can help with this also.

  • Failed. Format conversion is not supported

    Hello again, this error happened when I was playing around with Creative Audio Converter
    Failed. Format conversion is not supported
    This error happened when I was converting a song from WMA Pro, 128 Kbps, 44khz, 2 Channel 24-Bit to WMA Pro, 128 Kbps, 44khz, 5.1 Channel 24-Bit
    Why is this error happening? And if the conversion is not supported, then why did Creative bother to put this format on their sound cards? Or is this another of Microsoft's problem?
    Thank You.

    Thank you very much for answering my query about that, at this moment i am very interested on 5.1 channel conversion. I have written to other ppl on other forums about 5.1 channel conversion. One person told me that there are a lot of ways to do it, depending on what kind of 5.1 upmixing do you want to perform. What kinds of upmixing do you use for 5.1 channel conversion? What do you recomend?
    Thank You very much

  • Help with RTP: Format of Stream not supported in RTP Session Manager

    Hello everyone,
    I am quite new to JMF and RTP. So far I've succeeded in capturing audio from the microphone and playing it back. However, I failed when I tried to send the stream over using RTP.
    Here's my program, all it does is: get a DataSource from the CaptureDevice, create a Processor with that DataSource, convert the tracks in the Processor to one of the RTP formats, and create an RTP SendStream using the Processor's output DataSource.
    I can hear sound by creating a Player for the DataSource; however I get errors when I try to create RTP SendStream for the same output DataSource.
    Here's my code:
                CaptureDeviceInfo cdinfo;
                Format fmt = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.LINEAR, 8000, 8, 1);
                Vector deviceList = CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(fmt);
                if (deviceList.size() > 0) {
                    System.out.println("Device Found.");
                    cdinfo = (CaptureDeviceInfo) deviceList.firstElement();
                } else {
                    System.out.println("No device!");
                    return;
                DataSource ds = Manager.createDataSource(cdinfo.getLocator());
                Processor processor = Manager.createProcessor(ds);
                StateHelper sh = new StateHelper(processor);
                if (!sh.configure(10000)) {
                    System.out.println("Could not configure...");
                    System.exit(-1);
                // Get the track control objects
                TrackControl track[] = processor.getTrackControls();
                System.out.println("Number of tracks:" + track.length);
                boolean encodingPossible = false;
                // Go through the tracks and try to program one of them to outout some "RTP format"
                for (int i = 0; i < track.length; i++) {
                    try {
                        track.setFormat(new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.DVI_RTP));
    encodingPossible = true;
    } catch (Exception e) {
    // cannot convert
    track[i].setEnabled(false);
    if (!encodingPossible) {
    System.out.println("Could not encode..");
    sh.close();
    return;
    processor.setContentDescriptor(new ContentDescriptor(ContentDescriptor.RAW));
    if (!sh.realize(10000)) {
    System.out.println("Could not realize...");
    System.exit(-1);
    System.out.println("Realized...");
    DataSource outSource = processor.getDataOutput();
    System.out.println(outSource.getContentType());
    processor.start();
    player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(outSource);
    player.start();
    SessionAddress addr = new SessionAddress(InetAddress.getByName("224.144.251.104"), 8194, 4);
    manager.initialize(addr);
    //manager.addFormat(new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.GSM_RTP), 1);
    System.out.println("RTP Session started...");
    stream = manager.createSendStream(processor.getDataOutput(), 0);
    I get an error on the last line, the error is: javax.media.format.UnsupportedFormatException: Format of Stream not supported in RTP Session Manager And again, if I try to encode the tracks into *AudioFormat.GSM_RTP* instead of *DVI_RTP*, I get a different error on the same line:Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerExceptionWell I don't understand what's happening, is there something I need to do before I can use RTP?
    Hope you guys help

    Hi,
    seems that you are encoding a track to RTP format but outputting a RAW format.
    Your encoding section is also a little bit lazy as you don't check supported formats...
    Try this between configured and realized state:
              // Get the tracks from the processor
              TrackControl [] tracks = processor.getTrackControls();
              // Do we have at least one track?
              if (tracks == null || tracks.length < 1)
                  return "Couldn't find tracks in processor";
              // Set the output content descriptor to RAW_RTP
              // This will limit the supported formats reported from
              // Track.getSupportedFormats to only valid RTP formats.
              ContentDescriptor cd = new ContentDescriptor(ContentDescriptor.RAW_RTP);
              processor.setContentDescriptor(cd);
              Format supported[];
              Format chosen;
              boolean atLeastOneTrack = false;
              // Program the tracks.
              for (int i = 0; i < tracks.length; i++) {
                  Format format = tracks.getFormat();
              log.info("Input format for RTP conversion: " + format);
              if (tracks[i].isEnabled()) {
                   supported = tracks[i].getSupportedFormats();
                   // We've set the output content to the RAW_RTP.
                   // So all the supported formats should work with RTP.
                   if (supported.length > 0) {
                        if (supported[i] instanceof VideoFormat) {
                             tracks[i].setEnabled(false);
                             continue;
                   else if (supported[i] instanceof AudioFormat) {
                        // set audio format for RTP transmission
                        chosen = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.DVI_RTP);
                        tracks[i].setFormat(chosen);
                        tracks[i].setEnabled(true);
                        atLeastOneTrack = true;
                   else
                        tracks[i].setEnabled(false);
                   else
                   tracks[i].setEnabled(false);
              else
                   tracks[i].setEnabled(false);
              if (!atLeastOneTrack)
              return "Couldn't set any of the tracks to a valid RTP format";
    The important thing should be theContentDescriptor cd = new ContentDescriptor(ContentDescriptor.RAW_RTP);part.

    The fact that it doesn't know what the format is
    might have to do with the problem. I've had similar
    problems, and I've traced it back to missing jars and
    codecs. Have you tried running the same code locally
    without the transmission to see if you player will
    even play the file?Already and it works, I used Player to play it and play normally, I try to make it with the diferents codecs of audio and video, but no sucess.

  • Formatting Failed- Device not Supported

    Hi. I'm new to DVDSP and hope this isn't a stupid question. (No hits when I searched for the same problem.)
    I have a project that started as FCS HD. I sent it to Compressor and created a QT H.264.mov file that is 5.96GB. Built a DVDSP project that ended up at 6.6 GB. I'm trying to burn it in HD onto a DL DVD. When I do, I get an error message that says...

    actually you're working a little too hard. You actually tried to make an HD DVD. It's a defunct format that only plays on Macs and a handful of set top players. While you can make one, I believe I remember that the media is indeed different, so trying to burn to red laser media is going to do what it did for you.
    You can actually make a Blu-ray using Compressor. There's a lot of documentation around here on that. However, you'll need a BR burner for your file size. On the other hand you can burn to red laser media. The howevers there mean it has to be yet smaller and you can't really author, just burn using the very limited menus provided in Compressor, or take the files over to Encore where you can do more with them. Or take them entirely onto another BR authoring environment.

  • [Solved] ALSA - Play Audio As Is With No Conversion

    Hello all,
    I have an issue with ALSA I hope you can help me sort out.
    For the sake of this post, I'll refer to everything as if played by mplayer2, since the output is much easier this way.
    Basically, I want to play everything "as-is", in regards to samplerate and format.
    That is, playing music at 16bit/44.1Khz as such, playing movie audio at 16bit/48Khz as such, playing HD audio at 24bit/96Khz as such and so on.
    Now, my first attempt was trying to access the HW directly using mplayer's --ao=alsa:device=hw=0.0 and not limiting the format.
    Both samples played at correct sample rate but were outputted at 16 bit, since the hardware supposedly do not support floating point, and the output reverted to default.
    Selected audio codec: FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) [libavcodec]
    AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 0.0 kbit/0.00% (ratio: 0->176400)
    [AO_ALSA] Format floatle is not supported by hardware, trying default.
    AO: [alsa] 44100Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)
    Selected audio codec: Uncompressed PCM [pcm]
    AUDIO: 96000 Hz, 2 ch, s24be, 4608.0 kbit/100.00% (ratio: 576000->576000)
    [AO_ALSA] Format floatle is not supported by hardware, trying default.
    AO: [alsa] 96000Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)
    Note the Format floatle is not supported by hardware part.
    This seemed a bit weird as using alsa without accessing the hardware directly (going through vmix), the output is indeed floating point.
    That is, playing with --ao=alsa I get the following (obviously everything is sampled to the default 48Khz):
    Selected audio codec: FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) [libavcodec]
    AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 0.0 kbit/0.00% (ratio: 0->176400)
    AO: [alsa] 48000Hz 2ch floatle (4 bytes per sample)
    Selected audio codec: Uncompressed PCM [pcm]
    AUDIO: 96000 Hz, 2 ch, s24be, 4608.0 kbit/100.00% (ratio: 576000->576000)
    AO: [alsa] 48000Hz 2ch floatle (4 bytes per sample)
    Note that the output format is floatle.
    So, I tried specifying --ao=alsa:device=hw=0.0 --format=floatle, only for it to fail as in the first case and reverting to default 16 bit and correct sample rate.
    Specifying the required format directly works for the flac sample (s16le, same as the default) but fails for the HD sample (s24be), as expected - I can remember from my Windows days not so long ago I had to output 24 bit audio padded as 32 bit for it to work.
    This lead me to my next attempt: --ao=alsa:device=hw=0.0 --format=s32le, which as far as I understand is 32 bit, but not floating point, which isn't exactly what I need.
    Anyway, both files played fine with this mode for the few seconds I tried (assuming the remaining bits were padded with zeros), but real-life files (such as movie soundtrack) produced noticeable audio distortions (cracks and pops of all kinds).
    So, I'm back to where I began.
    Seems like I need to specify the hardware (device=..._) to get correct sample rate, but then I can't get correct format, or let it go via dmix and then the sample rate is wrong.
    Now, having giving it a bit more thought, I realized dmix is outputting anything successfully as floating point, so I guess it pads whatever bits needed with zeros, which is just fine.
    Assuming the above is correct, is it possible to write something in my .asoundrc file so that input samplerate is preserved?
    I'm not very optimistic as it kind of against the whole idea of software mixing, but who knows..
    If there's any way of convincing ALSA that my card is perfectly fine when being fed with floating point directly (device=...), that's an option too.
    Bottom line, is there a way to make everything sent to card as-is?
    That was long... sorry
    Thanks, Adam.

    So yes, your hardware doesn't support floating point. Don't compare the hw device to the more higher level interfaces (default,surround,plughw). The higher level interfaces provide additional sample formats which will be converted on the fly to the specific hw device capabilities.
    adam777 wrote:Bottom line, is there a way to make everything sent to card as-is?
    That would depend on the input format. Even some 24bit audio files may need some additional padding. If you want to know what your card supports, compile and run the following program: http://www.volkerschatz.com/noise/alsacap.c.
    For example, this the output on my machine:
    Card 0, ID `Intel', name `HDA Intel'
    Device 0, ID `ALC268 Analog', name `ALC268 Analog', 1 subdevices (1 available)
    2 channels, sampling rate 44100..192000 Hz
    Sample formats: S16_LE, S32_LE
    Subdevice 0, name `subdevice #0'

  • Compressor in FCP does not support H.264 beyond 720p resolution

    When trying to export 1080i material from FCP through compressor into H.264 format the resolution box in the Inspector only allows up to 720p. Is there a compressor or FCP update or is this all the compressor will do at this time?

    Since the preset you've mentioned is one of the Apple Advanced Format Conversions and NOT one of the HD DVD presets I'm guessing that you are encoding for a Quicktime movie and not a DVD. Any of Apple's included presets can be duplicated and customized - but you need to start with the correct preset. You might also want to consult some sources and review the various HD formats and their parameters. Compressor is capable of converting and encoding a phenomenal number of video formats - it won't prevent you from doing things that don't necessarily make sense (so don't necessarily blame Compressor if you do something that results in dreadful degradation of quality).
    There is no reason you can't output a Quicktime movie of your 1080i(50?60?) material using H264 - but whether that output is interlaced or progressive is not a function of H264. If your source material is interlaced, Compressor's Frame Controls can deinterlace it. This is functionality entirely separate from the choice of encoding method (H264). 1080p, however, is more than just deinterlaced 1080i material. 1080i is interlaced video with a frame size of 1440x1080 pixels at a frame rate of either 29.97fps (1080i60) or 25fps (1080i50). 1080p material has a frame size of 1920x1080 pixels and a frame rate of 24 (23.976). You would probably not like the result of a conversion of your 1080i source material to 1080p - the resultant video might be distorted and would no doubt suffer additional image degradation from being scaled up. Retiming of the frame rate isn't going to help either.
    I think it unwise to force material not created in 1080p into such a format. You certainly won't "gain" quality. 1080i material is pretty impressive (IMHO), but if you really 'want' 1080p you need a camera that records in 1080p rather than trying to "fake it" in software. If your presentation is intended TV, interlaced source material is the norm (even for most flat screen LCD or plasma HD TVs). If your presentation is intended for computer playback then deinterlacing might be advantageous - but I wouldn't use Compressor's Frame Controls to accomplish this. Compressor's Frame Controls produce very good quality but are agonizingly slow. H264 encoding is very processor intensive and slow - combining it with Frame Controls just makes it worse.
