Posts: 13 		I wonder if some one can shine a light on a problem I suddenly got when Importing MP3 audio files.

As of yesterday when trying to Import any audio file it only imports exactly 8.11 seconds no matter what size the file is. Normally I can Import aduio files ok but suddenly now I can't. The processe I go through to make an Audio file is.

1. Record in Audacity ------> using a good mic
2. Export to MP3 format
3. In Muvizu go to Prepare ----> Audio -----> New ------> double click on the audio track -----> click Import and choose the MP3 file
4. Check the file by using the play button audio sounds good but only 8.11 seconds have been Imported.

Has any one had this problem, If so how did you fix it ?.
I'm using Windows 10, just incase it matters.

Thanks in advance
Zita

Posts: 13 		@ziggy72 They are looking into the problem not sure if it's from export settings or some thing Muvizu is doing as said by Jamie in an email.
For me exporting as a WAV file is working but makes the files x3 bigger.

At lest we know they are looking into it

This is a strange one indeed. I've never seen anything like it. I get the same result with both MP3 files, 8.11 seconds long.
I tried changing the sample rate and bit depth but that had no effect.
I then exported them as WAV files and they worked fine. I'll have another look at this, this afternoon and see if I can figure out what configuration setting is causing this (my other MP3 files are not having this problem, so I assume its a config setting on export...).
If I can't work out what is happening, I'll pass it off to the development team. Someone else might know what the issue is - either with the MP3 or Muvizu.
Regards,
Jamie.
