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=20
converting in audio. The 'demo' does only allow 10 secs. of converting,=20
else you have to pay for it. To be frank I donot like this method of=20
demoing, so it's better to make it work fx. only 10 times but in full=20
just like many other apps. But it's my best guess on a Mac app that=20
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.

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!

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!
