mirzatech Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hello there everyone, I just had a inquiry and am looking for some useful suggestions regarding the switch software. I have been using the software to convert DVF files to MP3 for about 6 months. Suddenly 2 days ago, when i converted a DVF file and played it in mp3 format, the sound was very screechy--by screechy i mean it was like a child reading something--you know how when a audio cassette's reel gets messed up and the sound becomes very fast and very thin--well the lecture that i converted became just like that---like a messed up reel. When i listen to the DVF file with the sony player, the sound is just normal. I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOT MESSED UP IN THE SETTINGS ALL ON ITS OWN....BUT I AM VERY FRUSTRATED. I have been trying for so long and its important i get the lecture converted ASAP. PLEASE...IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT IT...HELP ME...I APPRECIATE IT A LOT. I have tried all combinations of encoder settings but all produce the same results Even the 55 minute lecture shrinks to just 28 minutes on its own when converted to mp3 format--other wise the DVF file is fine. REQUESTING URGENT HELP FROM SOMEONE..... tHANKS!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andynowlen Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 This is exactly my problem. I was happily getting along for months with a registered version and since about 2 weeks ago all I can get is 'Alvin and the Chipmonks' . The dvf to mp3 or wav convert does not work at this time. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please help. Hey andynowlen, I found an alternate way....i still dunno why the switch software is messed up, but you could first convert your DVF audio file to WAV format from within the sony software itself. I have Sony Digital Voice Editor 2. You right-click on the DVF file saved on your hard-drive and click on change format. Save it to WAV 16-bit stereo and if you want, later convert it to MP3 using switch. otherwise WAV works fine--only mp3 could be much smaller. That's the alternate route that works.... hope that helps...!! MTECH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nchto Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 This is most likely due to an incompatibility Sony has introduced into that recording (which is why doing an initial conversion to a standard format works). You can test this by converting an older recording which didn't have this problem and then see if the screeching is present (it shouldn't be).

SummerGal Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I haven't encountered anything of that sort, guess you should try Mirza's suggestion. _________________ Cheryl Definitive Technology ProCinema 1000 - ProCinema 800 & 1000 Systems Catalog by Definitive Technology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
