Musepack transcoding via ffmpeg

[dtlin]

1. If I have both ssc-ffmpeg and ssc-script loaded, everything gets transcoded via the latter. (Am I setting something up wrong?)
2. So if I want most of my files to be transcoded via ssc-ffmpeg, I have to not load ssc-script.
3. Which is all fine and dandy, except that ssc-ffmpeg is unwilling to transcode .mpc for me.
4. Conveniently, the dumb and obvious change

works for me. I have ffmpeg 20070616, which defaults to CONFIG_MPC7_DECODER=1.

I can’t seem to open tickets on Trac, otherwise I’d be posting there…

That can be tunes iwth the ssc_codecs config option. The ssc-script is kind of the last-ditch method of transcoding.

Cool. Clearly I need a config based way to change the codecs that want to be transcoded with ffmpeg.

sadly, I can’t see a way to tell you from a spammer, and without that, the spammers win. :-/

spammers make everything bad.

Hello. I’ve tried this patch and it works so far. But there is one caveat. The transcoded WAV starts with a very brutal short audio glitch. It sounds like it is trying to play the APEv2 tag data in the header of the files. I don’t understand this. I used ffmpeg in a shell on the same files and there is no glitch.

Why was this patch not applied to trunk to begin with?
