Convert to MP3 192k

[petzi69]

Your question

Not the most important issue, but I would prefer to convert to MP3 192k instead of MP3 HQ (=256k).
Is there a simple way to do this?
I tried to copy the MP3 HQ preset und change the bitrate to 192k, but this leads only to an erorr:

I do not work for VDH. I'm just another user.

If I recall correctly, the logic for conversion was removed from VDH. If you are using the legacy UI, you are tricked into believing the function is still there. But it's only the interface that still shows the function. The function itself no longer exists in VDH. You'll need to learn how to use some other tool to do the conversions you're looking for. I believe ffmpeg can do the job. I suspect that a lot of other tools that convert media are basically front ends for ffmpeg.

No no, conversion works perfekt with the given presets. If I want to, I can change the bitrate entry in the export formats dialog from 256k to 192 (or 192k), but this just causes an error - or is this what you meant?

Well, I did preface my comment with, "If I recall correctly." I could be recalling incorrectly. I think it would probably be a good idea for you to show a series of screen shots. Show the steps you go through to do a conversion & be sure to include the final step that gets an error.

Just for grins & giggles, I tried to do a convert here:

That looks like it tried to download a file that's already downloaded, failed, & now it's offering to download it for me again. I have complained before that the Report button is all fine & dandy, but we really ought to get a chance to look at what is going to get reported when we click the button. As it stands, there's absolutely no help in that error message. If there's something we might be able to fix on our own, we don't have any clues to point us in any direction that might lead us to our own solution to our problem.

Anyway, like I said, I have a vague recollection that this logic was simply never ported forward from past releases. My error here doesn't really confirm nor deny that hypothesis.

I'd still like to compare what I've gotten here with what you get. Please post a series of similar screenshots showing your experience.
