Use ffmpeg instead of gstreamer #33
Description
I had a lot of trouble getting gstreamer to work on Mac OS X which pinnacled in
the fact that it refused to get a wav of an h264 AAC video. What I did in the
end was to replace the subprocess call in file_2_wav (fm.py:79) using the
following command:
utils.start_subprocess("ffmpeg -i '" + filename
+ "-vn -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 16000 -ac 1 -f wav " + name + ".wav ")
which spits out a wav coded correctly as demanded in the doc.
Hence I recommend using ffmpeg instead of gstreamer in future versions. Ffmpeg
is widely available for the systems voiceid supports. Unless there are some
issues with the license, of course.
