ACS + LAME (MP3)

[carmarri]

Hi all,

I've a problem which is driving me crazy: I'm using the ACS component in lazarus to record audio from the microphone and save it to a file. I've saves it successfully to wav, but I'm not able to create a MP3 file, using the LAME library. Every single time that I execute this:

MP3Out1.Input := AudioIn1;
MP3Out1.FileName := SystemTempDir + IDC + '.mp3';
MP3Out1.Run;

I gen an exception here (file ACS_LAME):
lame_set_mode(_plgf, Integer(FMode));

Any suggestion?
I would sincerely appreciate any help you could give to me!

I am not sure if ACS is still active project. I was able to make it work 2-3 years ago under 32-bit WinVista but I was not able to make it work under 64-bit Linux. Homepage of project is not clear, some links are invalid.
Try another audio library, for example: http://audorra.sourceforge.net/

Have you try it, what do you think about it ?
I went to the site but do not find any doc

The doc may be provided with the Binaries.
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/audorra/files/bin/0_5_2_BETA/)

I tried it once, but i still prefer BASS library (but i don't know if this can export to mp3).

BASS library is free for use with non-commercial software only.

You can try to contact Christian Ulrich, who created the FPC port of ACS (http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/User:Christian).

I love Bass library too but it is not open-source

Thanks! I'll give it a try.
I don't usually use Lazarus, but I go for it when I need multiplatform and compilations without external dependencies. However sometimes it's hard to get some projects into work, since there is a big lack of docs / examples and some projects are discontinued. It's a pity...

Please don't forget to tell us then if it was worth trying.
