Hi,

After Todays update USE ffmpeg flag was removed from my media-sound/audacity-2.0.3.

Now (I use Audacity to improve audio in my video files), I can't load any .mp4 or .MOV files which is a huge step backward for me. When I am trying to load movie file by Import Raw (suggest by Audacity) - I have white noise instead of sound. Is there any solution to solve this?

OR

how to tell portage (during emerge --sync) to use snapshot from 12 February 2013 (instead of newest one)
http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/gentoo/snapshots/
so I will have working Audacity for my projects

mask media-sound/audacity-2.0.3 or unmask the ffmpeg use flag for audacity. Best check why they chose to mask it first.

I did mask 2.0.3 -> up to version 2.0.0 - did not help. It is impossible to unmask ffmpeg as it not exist now to any of version (even the oldest one).

Code:
# emerge -pv audacity

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

# equery u audacity

[        : I - package is installed with flag     ]
[ Colors : set, unset                             ]

2.0.2 version will work with ffmpeg and avi import, it says ffmpeg-compatible files.

Well, then you will have to unmask the flag.
add media-sound/audacity -ffmpeg (no typo) to /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask

As I pointed out before, you probably want to find out why its masked now.

I know there is no longer support for ffmpeg in Audacity 2.0.3, but 2.0.2 was working for me fine day ago...

Did not help either.
Code:
# more /etc/portage/package.use.mask
media-sound/audacity -ffmpeg


Code:
# equery u audacity

maybe -ffmpeg in /etc/portage/make.profile/use.mask?

That should have worked...

you can check man portage for files and descriptions.

You might want to reconsider.

media-sound/audacity ffmpeg


You can try removing the line from /usr/portage/profiles/base/package.use.mask and that should work until you sync, but it probably will not build. bug 417869

Many thanks for your time doc!

So decided to manage in different way and I am extracting audio in kdenlive now, and the audio into Audacity.

well this blows. How else can I extract foreign audio from avi's (for listening and learning on the ipod). I either need audacity to work with ffmpeg or another program. I don't use any KDE apps though, so those are not an option for me.

So just use ffmpeg directly. It's not rocket science.

Well, I don't work for NASA, so it shouldn't be a problem. So please tell me how to use ffmpeg to cut, crop, trim, compress, and slow down the rate of the audio.

Code:
ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -vn -acodec copy out.aac

And then you edit the audio in the audio editor. One program for one function each, the Unix way.
