In the past some customers reported that in some rare cases the reconverted audiofiles (from br5) only played the first 7 seconds. This is/was not a failure of BRx converter. In most cases this is because an old backup with br5 files was restored into a new Multimedia system which supports the newer formats (br29, br32 and so on). When importing br5 files into such newer systems the files are converted to the newer format, but are not renamed. BRx converter detects the format according to the file extension. So in such a case it converts such br5 files using the reald br5 format and not the new format. We have a special edition of BRx Converter available which is able to convert such br5 files. There is no publich download available. Please contact us by email and please include information which operating system you are using..

First of all, the support of the 3rd party tool ffmpeg is still experimental. Although it has worked for many users in the past, i cannot guarantee that it works for you.

1. In BRx Converter please press “Download ffmpeg” and download a “static” version of FFMPEG or
   for Windows 64bit https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/macos64/static/ffmpeg-20171120-8f4702a-macos64-static.zip
   for Windows 32bit https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win32/static/ffmpeg-20171120-8f4702a-win32-static.zip
   for Mac 64bit https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/macos64/static/ffmpeg-20171120-8f4702a-macos64-static.zip
   for Linux see the following URL https://www.johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/
2. extract the downloaded zip file and remember the folder to which you´ve extracted it
   To unpack use the integrated function of your operating system
3. In BRx Converter select the option "use FFMPEG to convert .br5/.br25/.br29/.br32 files to .mp3” and in the upcoming dialog
   on Mac OSX/Linux select the file  ffmpeg  and on Windows ffmepg.exe
   On windows you should find ffmpeg.exe in the BIN folder of the extracted archive. See image below
4. Now with that option selected, you will see some additional options for bitrate.
   I would recommend that you leave the default selection of 192kB/s.

Btw.: If you ever need to reselect the path to ffmpeg in BRx Converter, then just double click of the “path information” under "use FFMPEG to convert .br5/.br25/.br29/.br32 files to .mp3”

This allows you to reselect the path.
