No, as I don't have any WMA/WMV files. You could try asking the OP if he is willing to send you a copy of the file he's trying to convert. > thanks. no harm in trying experience is every thing. It's definitely one way to learn. Another one I find useful is trying to fix something I broke. I must be lucky because I've not broken anything for several days.

Does it play on your computer? It does on mine. But maybe it is not the type of file you are talking about. If not, can you provide a link? -- Later, Darrell

And could explain why I can convert a wma file to mp3. But now how do you identify the version of wma of a file. I use a freeware called trid. But it does not give this version 1, 2 or 3 with that kind of output : orion:~/tmp > trid -d:TrIDDefs.TRD Mamma_Mia.wma TrID/32 - File Identifier v2.00/Linux - (C) 2003-06 By M.Pontello Definitions found: 3899 Analyzing...

I can't tell what a WMAv3[0] file would produce, but I downloaded a few of the samples used by the ffmpeg developers and here are the results when using ffmpeg to identify them: This is under the WMA9/WMAPro_5dot1 directory: Input #0, asf, from 'ambient1_192_mulitchannel.wma': Metadata: title : author : copyright : comment : WMFSDKVersion : 9.00.00.2796 WMFSDKNeeded : 0.0.0.0000 IsVBR : 1 ASFLeakyBucketPairs: Duration: 00:01:13.19, start: 3.000000, bitrate: 193 kb/s Stream #0.0(eng): Audio: wmapro, 48000 Hz, 5.1, flt, 192 kb/s This is from WMA9/wmapro: Input #0, asf, from 'Beethovens nionde symfoni (Scherzo)-2.wma': Metadata: title : author : copyright : comment : WMFSDKVersion : 10.00.00.3802 WMFSDKNeeded : 0.0.0.0000 IsVBR : 0 Duration: 00:01:15.64, start: 0.470000, bitrate: 129 kb/s Stream #0.0(eng): Audio: wmapro, 48000 Hz, stereo, flt, 127 kb/s This was from the WMA2/ directory: Input #0, asf, from 'ffwma2_broken.wma': Metadata: WMFSDKVersion : 9.00.00.2980 WMFSDKNeeded : 0.0.0.0000 IsVBR : 0 Duration: 00:03:33.53, start: 3.064000, bitrate: 30 kb/s Stream #0.0(eng): Audio: wmav2, 44100 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 48 kb/s Stream #0.1(eng): Audio: wmav2, 32000 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 40 kb/s Stream #0.2(eng): Audio: wmav2, 22050 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 22 kb/s This was one I found using Google: Input #0, asf, from 'Mamma_mia.wma': Metadata: WMFSDKVersion : 9.00.00.2926 WMFSDKNeeded : 0.0.0.0000 IsVBR : 0 Duration: 00:03:38.20, start: 2.432000, bitrate: 32 kb/s Stream #0.0(rus): Audio: wmav2, 32000 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 32 kb/s At least one output file must be specified This was under the WMA/ directory: Input #0, asf, from 'Merci.wma': Metadata: ToolName : Windows Media Encoding Utility ToolVersion : 8.00.00.0343 Duration: 00:02:00.35, start: 1.486000, bitrate: 32 kb/s Stream #0.0: Audio: wmav2, 44100 Hz, 1 channels, s16, 32 kb/s At least one output file must be specified And this was under WMA9/WMAVoice/ Input #0, asf, from 'wmv3-wmaspeeech.wmv': Metadata: SfOriginalFPS : 150 WMFSDKVersion : 11.0.6001.7006 WMFSDKNeeded : 0.0.0.0000 IsVBR : 0 title : test author : copyright : comment : Duration: 00:00:09.93, start: 3.000000, bitrate: 35 kb/s Stream #0.0(fre): Audio: wmavoice, 8000 Hz, 1 channels, flt, 5 kb/s Stream #0.1(fre): Video: wmv3, yuv420p, 176x144, 17 kb/s, 15 tbr, 1k tbn, 1k tbc [0] Technically it's really WMA9 as there appears to have been a jump from WMA2 to WMA9, possibly to match the Media Player release number. Or they could have picked the number at random. Who knows.
