How do you enhance mp3 quality?

There are obvious ways to do this, such as using an mp3 with a higher bitrate, but unfortunately an mp3 can not have its bitrate raised, once the bitrates been reduced it can never be fully restored. A way to enhance the quality of an mp3 while its being actively played is to download and install ffdshow, configure it for your player (it will not work with players that use built-in codecs, e.g VLC, and most of the time, Winamp, though some claim to have gotten it to work, only the obsolete v2.0 Winamp is actively compatible with ffdshow, Media Player Classic Homecinema can be configured to work with ffdshow), and adjust the crystality, which will make the song more or less crisp. This will give the feeling of greatly enhancing audio sharpness (and therefore quality) for some songs, though others may not sound so well.

What mp3 codec does Windows Media Player 11 use?

A very crappy one..... :) l3codecx.ax (DirectShow mode) l3codeca.acm (ASM mode - playback) l3codecp.acm (ASM mode - encoding) Enabling support for Raw audio in FFDshow allows other codecs to handle mp3's in WMP11


How come i don't get any picture on my video torrents?

Because you don't have the required codec, most commonly MPEG4 video codecs. Microsoft would prefer you to play media in their own Windows Media codec. Try FFDShow to install the codecs you need, other alternatives are VLC and Media Player Classic.


What do you type in the User field in ffdshow's OSD options so you can have the OSD show what you want and how do you make a new line so it all doesn't go in one line and make the rest go off the side?

Remaining: %rtime Now Playing: %sflnm format -\n See ABOUT ME for Movie Listing and help on picture freeze CPU %cl The above is an example the newline is \n I want a long empty line on the first line (like if I have a black border, so I lots of spaces and the line has to end with something before the new line command so I used a - character and put enough spaces before it to get it off the right side of the screen the stuff after % are commands to display stuff I'm doing remaining time on file played , filename and CPU load Google ffdshow wiki and go there for more info on the %vars and other things


How do you convert mpeg-2 to mpg4 how do you do it?

http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html download the free converter. This little free app will convert everything. The interface is a little confusing at first glance, but the options are almost unlimited. Make sure to download the haali splitter and ffdshow before installing super. (links are on the same page as the download) It takes a minute or two for this app to activate - you may think it isn't working when you click the icon... Have patience - it's worth it.


How can you play flv files with windows media player 11?

Answer :You need to download FFDShow, install it then in the FFDShow program I think you enable codecs. Then download FLV Splitter and install, once done, click the close button and now open the flv file, if you can't be bothered just download VLC Media Player.# another option is .... u need to navigate to http://media-convert.com/ # choose the input file ( either local in your PC or online using a URL ) # select the output file format and # agree to the terms of service # click OK button to fire away. # wait until conversion if finished then click download to save it locally to your PC.Note: If you are using script-disable add-ons for Firefox (free) or IE (IE7 requires a valid license of Windows XP) turn it on for only media-convert.another Note: I am not associated with the site at all.Answer:IT IS BETTER TO LEAVE YOUR WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER AS IT IS......!!JUST DOWNLOAD SOME OTHER FLV PLAYERS TO PLAY YOUR STUFF.....!KK..!!THEN.......DON'T TRY TO MESS UP WITH THE SYSTEM FILES.........IT CAN BE OF NO USE AND YOU MAY BE SIMPLY MAKING THE USAGE OF YOUR WIN PLAYER MORE MISERABLE.........!! :-)


How do you make an AMV?

This question gets asked several times a day, so I think I'll try to create a definitive "what to do" guide. First, you need source material. Lots of people start with downloaded clips/fansubs. These will let you make something, but your finished video won't look very good. Rather, you should use DVD source for the best results. (There is an entire Guides section. Read ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides to learn how to work with your video streams. Don't ask here, as it's already all answered for you in the guide.) Second, just pick an idea and run with it. Something sound good to you? try it. Work on it for hours or for days. Teach yourself how to do cool things with the software. Your video will most likely suck, but almost everyone's first videos suck. It may take you three or four tries to actually be able to make anything good, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't just throw together something that "sounds cool" - you need that experience in order to learn what to do (or what not to do). Don't worry about people not liking it, 'cause you don't even have to show it to anyone. Just don't post on the message boards that you're new and you want someone's help to start - dozens of such requests are made a week, and nobody's going to hold your hand and/or give you a good idea that you couldn't've easily come up with by yourself. Third, don't ask stupid questions. Think things through, don't waste peoples' time asking things which could easily be answered by reading the manual/reading the guides/reading past message board posts/using common sense. Fourth, don't ask people to give you software. Some programs are available for free; some are cheap; others are expen sive. Nobody here will give you pirated software, and many people here will flame you if you start to brag about how you used pirated software. In case this hasn't already been mentioned.... What NOT to do if you want a good AMV: Do NOT use a windows media format (usually .wmv or .asf) Do NOT use Realplayer (usually something like .rm -rf /luser) Some good video formats are: DivX 3.11alpha XviD MPEG And just for the hell of it I'll give QuickTime 6's new MPEG-4 a chance. Some good audio formats: (There isn't much choice here anyway) MP3 OGG In case you are lucky enough to have a clean computer, and you didn't install any codec packs or divx 4/5. Then there is good news, you can now watch those divx4/5 and xvid encoded videos without installing the codecs (YAY) A good set of codecs, and the only ones you should need for that matter are: DivX 3.11alpha - if you know how to encode this one stands above 4/5. ffdshow - directshow filters which allow you to watch divx3, divx4, divx5, xvid, and mpeg4v3 (the Microsoft version). Ogg Vorbis DirectShow Filter Collection - There are two, you'll need both. Note: The Ogg filters are only needed if you are making and watching .ogm (ogg movies). Ogg movies using xvid for video and ogg audio for the audio. Mac Users: I'm sure there is something out there that works.... Getting Sources: If you have the DVDs, then rip them to either DivX 3.11alpha or XviD. My advice if you are new to ripping the source from the DVD is to use GordianKnot and encode to DivX 3.11alpha. Downloads: The codecs and filters are available on doom9.net/org in the download section. Obviously the filters will not be in the same place as the codecs and vise versa, and in order to see the ogg stuff you will need to click 'show me more' near filters. The DVD backup and ripping utils are also there, along with the GordianKnot program and update. And the guides are there as well, hooah.[/u] [MOD359: Edited 12/19/02] _________________ "If someone feels the need to 'express' himself or herself with a huge graphical 'singature' that has nothing to do with anything, that person should reevaluate his or her reasons for needing said form of expression, possibly with the help of a licensed mental health practitioner." http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2163
