[FFmpeg-devel] Bug with ffmpeg? Clipping/poor audio in converted sound (Nellymoser to MP3)

[Mel Brand]

Hi all,

I've run into some issues with ffmpeg clipping audio when converting
from Nellymoser flv file.

I have the audio files here so you can test (audio recorded by my
husband with Red5 through his laptop's mic):

http://s95272564.onlinehome.us/nellymoser-test.flv
http://s95272564.onlinehome.us/ffmpeg-test.mp3

I'm using the latest ffmpeg, compiled from svn along with libmp3lame.

Command I used is this:

ffmpeg -i nellymoser-test.flv -acodec libmp3lame ffmpeg-test.mp3

Take a listen please... why does MP3 sound so much worse? Is there
anything i can do to improve the conversion process?

Thank you!

Melissa
