FFmpeg

To get the most out of SayMore, you need to install a separate, free utility called "FFmpeg". It is a command line tool to convert multimedia files between formats (http://www.ffmpeg.org/about.html).

SayMore uses it to

  • automatically fill in media metadata (Duration, Channels, Bit Depth, Sample Rate, and so on)

  • perform useful conversions of your media from one format to another.

    • For example, with FFmpeg installed, SayMore can extract an audio file from a video file.

Note

  • FFmpeg comes with many audio/video-related programs. If you do not already have it, but have a connection to the Internet, run this installer, or find an alternative from audacity.

  • If you do not have FFmpeg installed when you open the Convert Media dialog box, the Begin Conversion button is not available, but the Install button is. Click Install to open and use the Install FFmpeg dialog box features.
