Problems converting mp3 files with cover images to 3gp format

FCBH is now attaching a video cover stream to their mp3 audio files. This creates a custom icon for the file in file explorer. If SAB attempts to convert these files to 3gp format, the conversion fails since the ffmpeg parameters are not set to ignore any video stream-see below. The “-map a” option only takes audio streams from input and processes them and will ignore any video stream.

Please add the “-map a” option to the command line of the FFMPEG conversion batch file in the next release of SAB.

Thanks, RG

@rgreen620 Could you send me an example audio file (and project) ?

Thanks,
Chris

@rgreen620,

Thank you for providing the example project and audio file. This saved a bunch of time trying to find an audio file that exhibits this issue.

I think a better option would be to use -vn to disable to video stream.

This has been fixed and will be in the next release after 12.2.4.

Thank you for the update. I tested -vn parameter and it works correctly. -Roger

This is available in SAB 12.3.
