I am trying to add voice recordings to PowerDMS as a proof. Can anyone assist with converting files over to MP3?

    I use PowerPoint to convert mine. Open a new slide, drag the recording over and save it as a MPEG4. I have uploaded several into my assessment and have never had a problem.

    The most recent thing I have says “For best performance in PowerDMS, we recommend converting audio files to MP4 (.mp4) with h.264 codec.” You can Google how to do this if you want. I have the free download of VLC (which my agency actually approved for me to use) and this is the instructions for how easy it is to convert: 

    1. Open VLC Media Player
    2. Go to the Convert window
    3. Under Settings, go to the Profile dropdown menu
    4. Select Video - H.264 + MP3 (MP4)
    5. Choose the location to save the converted video

    Hope this helps!

    Sorry for the delay, when I used to use audio files I would go to a free file convert website and convert it to an MP4 so I could use it as a proof.
