but i'm not seeing any images.

thx for any help.

Thx, i know about memory cards. I use one in my phone.

my understanding is that the 2-pass process optimizes the conversion, re size and quality.

is that incorrect?

thx, but this is for conversion to audio-only mp3, so i think your suggestions about video would not apply. Is h.264 for audio mp3's?

thx for that! but i also have to save space on my droid. Will reserve those uncompressed formats for my pc.


was wondering about that. What happens if quality and bitrate conflict with each...

i wonder if -ab is a shorthand for "audio bitrate".

any ideas about my issue, above, re 2-pass?

also, is 0 not best quality?

thx!

i'm not seeing "-ab" in the man page i linked, nor in "avconv -h". Is it documented someplace?

thx

the syndaemon solution worked for me too!

Indeed. I installed gnome ubuntu from the Live CD. That gnome ubuntu installer created this account, and i went with it. i assumed, incorrectly apparently, that the installer would walk me through...

hey Matt, thx for this great stuff! You're the first one to show how to use PARTED to get the exact bits and bytes.
