SoundConverter

Vorbis Converter Profiles Limited to 5

Asked by duchski

Sound converter 2.1.5 under Linux Mint only allows to choose from 5 vorbis bitrate profiles instead of all 10.
I, for instance, would like to be able to transcode to vorbis/ogg quality setting -5, which corresponds to 160kbps, which option is not available.

How do I do it? Is there a way to force sound converter to convert to ogg/vorbis at quality 5 which is ~160 kbps?

To clarify, I am just looking to make the -5 (0.5) encoder profile (~160kbps) available in sound converter settings for Vorbis/Ogg...

--- RESOLVED.

You can edit /usr/lib/soundvonverter/ui.py to change available in GUI profiles.

Suggestion: instead of arbitrary "normal" "high" "low" setting I would rather have a slider making all of the profiles available via settings menu.

Just wanted to bump this. I like 320 kbps Ogg Vorbis, and would prefer not to have to alter the source. (Thankfully it was at least in python and felt familiar)

This AskUbuntu question and answer demonstrates a relatively painless method of altering the quality settings and consequent bitrates:

Not a solution but perhaps a convenient work around...
