    FFmpeg with dBpoweramp?

    Is it possible to setup ffmpeg as a cli encoder in dBpoweramp?

    I have tried many combinations of cli string but none of them yielded any result.
    -i [infile] options [outfile]
    -i "[infile]" options "[outfile]"
    -i - options [outfile]
    etc...

    Any help will be appreciated.

    First take a wave file, and get it so FFmpeg can convert it on the command line, on its own, then post the command line you used please.

    Original file
    Name: 0.wav
    Channels: 2
    Sample Rate: 44.1khz
    Bit depth: 16 bit

    Command used with ffmpeg in command line:
    ffmpeg -i 0.wav -vn -c:a aac -b:a 256k 0.m4a

    Command used with dbpoweramp:
    -i [infile] -vn -c:a aac -b:a 256k [outfile]
    with 'pass wave header' selected and everything left as default

    converting with dbpoweramp creates a .m4a file of 0 bytes.

    I already tried that. Still produces a file with 0 bytes.

    Try:

    -i "[infile_long]" -vn -c:a aac -b:a 256k "[outfile_long]"

    In Configure dBpoweramp is an option to enable debugging in music converter, enable it and do a conversion, it should show the exact filenames command line passed to the cli encoder in the debug log.

    Everything seems fine, but still no idea why it's not producing any output.

    I got ffmpeg to work with foobar2000, and here is the command line: -i %s -vn -c:a aac -b:a 256k %d
    Using it with dbpoweramp would be more convenient for me since I can directly convert from right click menu.

    Re: FFmpeg with dBpoweramp?

    It might be failing because dBpoweramp creates a zero byte file, which is needed for the short path name, see if ffmpeg has an option to overwrite existing files.
