Crash when ripping/copying audio only from a video?

Post by ant » Mon Oct 29, 2012 5:26 am

Hello.

Maybe I am doing this incorrectly/wrong in MediaCoder, but I can't seem to rip/copy a video's audio track to a MP3. See http://i.imgur.com/oUdhI.gif and http://pastebin.com/jrtauW7z (crash dumps and analysis) as an example. Why does this happen? I can copy/rip audio if I don't use copy audio option and set MP3, but its LAME settings are confusing and unsure what to set to match the original's. I just want an exact audio rip/rip of it!

Thank you in advance. :)

I checked out your attempt by taking an MKV file containing an MP3 audio stream and setting:
Video tab: unchecked Enable
Audio tab: checked Copy Audio
Container = default
and Hit "Start" and MediaCoder crashed

I then simply changed to enable audio:
Audio tab: Format = Mp3, Encoder=LAME MP3, Source=default, Resample=44100 Hz
and at right: Preset =Custom, Rate = CBR, Bitrate=112 kbps
This worked (quickly)

To select similar paramaters to the original, select the file in the queue (main panel) and click Item > Details of Selected File
Then read off the audio properties, such as Codec ID (eg MP3), Bit rate and Sample Rate

Thanks. I had to do that, but that's annoying. MediaCoder should be able to copy audio and pick the settings automatically. It has been like this in many versions so far. :(
