DAISY Pipeline: Encoding all WAV files in a book to MP3

The DTB Audio Encoder will do exactly that: compress all *.wav audio files into *.mp3 files.

Input required: a valid(!) DAISY 2.02 Book

Path:

Ctrl + N (or click: New Job Wizard)

choose=>Modify and Improve=>DAISY XML (DTBook)=>DTB Audio Encoder

Hit ‘Next’ and browse for the path to your *.ncc OR *.xml Input File and select a path for your new (MP3) DTB.

There is only one Optional Parameter:

• Bitrate: That is the rate of compression of the resulting MP3 files. The higher the number, the better the quality and the larger the size. 48 kbit/s is a good compromise between these two factors.

Hit ‘Finish’ and run that job with Ctrl + F1

Please re-validate the result (see Transformation example one).
