Best/safest program to convert mp3 to wav by Steven on 02-24-2007 at 03:31 PM

I just need to embed a mp3 file in a powerpoint presentation, but it needs to be .wav, which i know is worse quality... whats the safest and trusted program i could use to convert it?

.wav is not worse quality. If anything .mp3 is. wav is an uncompressed sound file. mp3 is the opposite so it will inherit some quality loss.

So why is mp3 so popular?

Because it is compressed, therefore smaller filesizes

Think of it as JPEG vs Bitmap

JPEG owns @ filesize but fair quality, Bitmap sucks @ filesize but good quality :zippy:

Most people won't even notice the quality difference. I know when I play an mp3 I downloaded years ago (napster years) it sounds terrible compared to the ones I get today. Why? Apart from new versions of the encoder being used, they used 128 bitrate mostly. While today it is mostly 192 and up.

Try it yourself. I'm sure you'll notice the quality difference.

Oh know.... i used that program, and now, when i make videos, and put them on my computer from usb mode, you can only hear the audio, and there is no video.... but you can watch it on the camara. what happened?


RE: Best/safest program to convert mp3 to wav by Dr4g0n on 02-25-2007 at 04:58 PM

Have you got the correct video codec installed?


RE: Best/safest program to convert mp3 to wav by Steven on 02-25-2007 at 05:58 PM

um  i htink i need .avi because i cant find it on google...


RE: Best/safest program to convert mp3 to wav by Dr4g0n on 02-25-2007 at 06:25 PM

.avi is just a file type. There are many different codecs using for them. Try 3ivx on google.


RE: Best/safest program to convert mp3 to wav by Steven on 02-25-2007 at 07:55 PM

I think that the program automatically converts the files into soundfiles could it be possible?


RE: Best/safest program to convert mp3 to wav by Dr4g0n on 02-25-2007 at 08:13 PM

Uninstall it and reimport them. If it still happens then it's not the app.


RE: Best/safest program to convert mp3 to wav by Steven on 02-25-2007 at 08:41 PM

Oh how do you use 3ivx


RE: Best/safest program to convert mp3 to wav by Dr4g0n on 02-26-2007 at 05:11 PM

Download it, install it. It just works with your media player, you don't have to do anything.

That is a codec but the .avi might not have been encoded with that. Try using GSpot to find out the codec used on the file.
