FAQ Suggestion for m4b conversion on Windows (11) #985

Closed mrthomnas closed 1 year ago

mrthomnas commented 1 year ago

Environment

Description

I tried the converter mentioned on the FAQ for Windows (Audiobook Creator), however it required quicktime and was failing for me on Windows 11. I found this project instead and it worked very well out of the box with no configuring: https://github.com/yermak/AudioBookConverter. I think it would benefit future users if you listed this in the FAQ as well.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Attempt install of Audiobook Creator on Windows 11
  2. Was not able to reconcile an error with SSA.exe 'SSA: unable to initialize QuickTime for Windows MP4v2: Could not open'
  3. yermak's GitHub project listed above, AudioBookConverter is more recently updated (late 2022) and worked out of the box

I don't see a way to mark this as an "enhancement", but it's definitely not a bug, just a suggestion for the FAQ page for conversion to m4b.

Hi @mrthomnas ! thanks for pointing this out, I've included AudioBookConverter to the Wiki, and also added that Audiobook Creator required quicktime installed

I missed this notification originally, but thank you for doing that!
