Description Debayan Sutradhar 2024-07-08 06:32:59 UTC 
SUMMARY

I am trying to record in MP3 format. I selected "Audio Codec" as MP3, and Container format as "MPEG-4 Audio". However, it keeps recording in ".wmv"

There is a text note at the bottom that says some combinations of codec and formats are not compatible, is this related?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select Audio Codec as MP3
2. Select Container format as MPEG-4 Audio
3. Record

OBSERVED RESULT
Audio recording is still stored as .wmv

EXPECTED RESULT
Audio recording should be stored as .mp3

Comment 1 Ghislain Vaillant 2024-08-27 07:33:18 UTC 
Same here when choosing FLAC. Looks like whatever file format combination is chosen through the configuration menu, it is not taken into account when recording.
