I have downloaded several webm and m4a files from youtube, each of them is without video but with audio track. Now I wish to convert them into OPUS, with settings optimized for audiobooks. So I tried it using SoundConverter, installed on Xenial: it failed with following settings:
format: .opus ;
quality: "very low" ;
resample: 22050 Hz (better: below) ;
channels: mono ;
resulting target bitrate: around 48 kbps (better 32 kbps)
Even the suggested bug fix does not help. So I did check for an updated software version:
Installation of the package soundconverter from the xenial/universe software source:
soundconverter_3.0.0~alpha1+git20151209-1_all.deb
But then in SoundConverter's Menu/Help/About it claims to be an older version:
SoundConverter 2.9.0-beta1
There is no PPA source for sound converter.
