    Hi all,

    Recently, Youtube started using the Opus codec for the audio in its live concert videos. None of the converters (ex: Xilisoft, Wondershare) I have tried understand how to properly handle the audio in these music videos. Trying to play the converted file invariably results in an error.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction for a converter that properly handles the opus encoded audio in these videos?

    P.S. Here's a link to a video that is encoded as I described above:

    Not one of the video converters I'm familiar with supports video with an opus audio track.
    Can you post a link to a short (<5 minutes) video clip?

    The video in your original post is almost 1 hour & 44 minutes.
