Hi, I've been trying to convert AAC in a MP4 container to MP3. I get the following error:
LameXP v4.19 (Build #2320), compiled on 2021-08-29 at 18:25:44 ------------------------------- The format of this file is NOT supported: C:/Users/rgeer/Downloads/test.mp4 Container Format: dash Audio Format: Type: AAC, Profile: LC, Bitrate: 126 kbps Media info gives me this: General Complete name : C:\Users\rgeer\Downloads\test.mp4 Format : dash Codec ID : dash (iso6/mp41) File size : 3.87 MiB Duration : 4 min 15 s Overall bit rate : 127 kb/s Encoded date : UTC 2017-03-21 21:11:13 Tagged date : UTC 2017-03-21 21:11:13 Audio ID : 1 Format : AAC LC Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Low Complexity Codec ID : mp4a-40-2 Duration : 4 min 15 s Bit rate : 126 kb/s Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel layout : L R Sampling rate : 44.1 kHz Frame rate : 43.066 FPS (1024 SPF) Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 3.82 MiB (99%) Encoded date : UTC 2017-03-21 21:11:13 Tagged date : UTC 2017-03-21 21:11:13 Is there any chance this may be fixed or feature added in the future? Thanks! |

You can find information and methods to open this DASH format here:

Even though your file has a .mp4 file extension, it's not a "regular" MP4 container, but DASH format. This format is not currently supported
I don't know whether FAAD supports this kind of file, but I doubt it. If it does, then support for DASH input could be added to LameXP. You could always try yourself: Code:
faad.exe -o output.wav your_input.mp4

Thanks for all the info guys. ffmpeg does the job, but I was liking the LameXP GUI. I finally used my head, and found a ffmpeg GUI that works well enough for DASH to MP3 conversion. For kicks and giggles, I'll give FAAD and MP4box try and report back soon. Been a long time since I've used them independently.

Why not de-mux the elementary AAC audio stream out of the .mp4 container prior to re-encoding to .mp3?
EDIT: That being said... Why bother re-encoding to mp3 when LC-AAC at the same bit-rate is superior?!

It appears that QAAC has an option to output ADTS, but neither FDKAAC nur NeroAAC has such option.
Why would you need ADTS anyway? MP4 is, by far, the most widely used standard container for AAC. Also, you can always demux from the MP4 container, e.g. by using MP4Box.

Request
Dear LoRd_Mulder!
I hope you are well! I have a feature request, perhaps you could consider please? When converting to .wav on the slider it just says, (uncompressed) for obvious reasons. Could this be changed to (samplerate) and do a up-downsample conversion and maybe a Stereo/Mono selector? This would make this an extremely useful tool for me. I need to change samplerates and mono conversion all the time working with stems etc. Thanks for your time working on this great tool. |

Can you correct your uninstaller to remove all files please? I have installed and uninstalled a few times, but files are left over in directories. The main problem is in the registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT shell. And this was a bad problem. Thanks.

Also, first you talk about files, then suddenly you are referring to the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Those are two entirely different things. So, is this about files or registry entries?

In Registry Editor, Edit, Find and entering lamexp found it in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. I did this because sometime after uninstalling LameXP, I was in Windows Explorer and right clicked to "Open With" a 7-Zip file and LameXP was listed to open the .7z file. |

The uninstaller is supposed to remove the LameXP install directory as well as the shortcuts that were created during install. If you think this doesn't work as expected, then you need to re-produce the problem and provide more detailed information! Otherwise, it will be next to impossible to have this fixed... Quote:
LameXP needs to modify entries in this key in order to add the shell command "Convert this file with LameXP" to all supported file types – provided that you enable the "Shell integration" option in the program. However, this is not so simple, because, in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key, file extensions (e.g. ".mp3") are mapped to file types (e.g "Winamp.File.MP3"). And it is the file types that we need to modify! Consequently, for all supported file extensions, we first have to figure out the corresponding file types. Then, we can add our shell operation to each file type that was found in the previous step. So, to make a long store short, the list of file types that we need to modify is not fixed and is not known in advanced! Because it cannot be known in advance which keys in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT we will have to modify on a specific machine, there is no simple way to remove those entries in the uninstaller. You would probably think that we could simply scan the entire HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key and remove every "ConvertWithLameXP" sub-key. But keep in mind that the (un)installer is created with NSIS, so we are pretty much limited to removing hard-coded registry keys Quote:
If, however, the file extension .7z happens to be associated with the same file type as one of the file extensions supported by LameXP (e.g. .mp3), then we could end up in a situation where the operation "ConvertWithLameXP" appears for .7z files too, even though this was unintended. To make it clear again: LameXP does not create such situation by itself! But, if such situation exists on your system, then there is hardly anything we could do about it...
