[AuckLUG] ffmpeg confuzzion

[Ron Johns]

Hello , it's me again,
                      This might not be kosher or even OT but I've been 
trying to use ffmep to convert Mpeg3 audio to .wav or .ogg with damn all 
success.

Could not open '/home/gaspode/Music/KitaroEssential/AsTheWindBlows.mp3'
[root at localhost gaspode]#
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I have fixed many many errors so far but I can't get around this "Could 
not open '/home/gaspode/Music/KitaroEssential/AsTheWindBlows.mp3'"

We have gone through "Can't do this " Can't do that" but I can't see WHY 
it can't open this file.


I have a load of my own mpeg3 files which I need to convert to .wav or 
anything other than MPG and I just can't make the grade.

I am quite willing to do my own research ,but I've googled my fingers 
off on this one to no avail.
Running FC6 with heaps of space. Just want to convert MPG3 > to ogg/wav

Is there a better way than ffmpeg ?

Any help out there ?
Please help...
Blessings
Ron
