Hi there,

could you please help me with a problem Google couldn't solve:

I need an app to convert zvr audio files to a more common format like
wave or mp3. It's a format the Philips Voice Tracer 7655 uses for
audio recording. I tried Switch, Audacity, VLC and Quicktime without
success. Google only gave me programmes for Windows, so did Philips's
support site.

Thanks in advance and merry Christmas

Have you tried 'soundconverter'? - It 'claims' that it can do anything
converting in audio. The 'demo' does only allow 10 secs. of converting,
else you have to pay for it. To be frank I donot like this method of
demoing, so it's better to make it work fx. only 10 times but in full
just like many other apps. But it's my best guess on a Mac app that
might be able to do it.

SoundConverter 20090925 (shareware)
Convert your audio files in batch mode.

The same to you from a very cold and snowy Denmark.

Cheers, Erik Richard

Do you have any way to play the sound on a Mac? If so, I'd suggest
using Audio Hijack Pro to record the sound as it plays.

Hi and thanks to you two,

Soundconverter doesn't support ZVR either. No programme even plays
those files. I reckon it's just bad luck and I'll try to use line-in.

Thank you for your answers!

Bye

I have the same problem... gotta convert ZVRs from VoiceTracer on Mac. There HAS to be a solution somewhere. The closest I've come is ZVR to WAV on a Windows machine, then WAV to MP3 on Mac. Too much effort and two computers!
