			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mp3g is a funny combination of music file and anigif. If you want to play karaoke on your iPod / iPhone, or if you want to use DJ/VJ software to run your karaoke set (more on that later) the first step is to convert your collection to normal video files.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how&#8211;for Mac, Windows, and Linux;</p>
<p><span id="more-90"></span>
<p>With <a href="http://karaoke.kjams.com">kJams (Mac)</a>: Right click on videos, click &#8220;Export QuickTime&#8221; and choose a destination folder. You need to register ($40) to convert more than 10 videos at a time. Video quality is great.</p>
<p>With <a href="http://www.powerkaraoke.com/src/prod_cdg_video_converter.php">Power CD+G to Video Converter (Windows)</a>: Also costs $40 to register; not useful in trial mode.</p>
<p>With <a href="http://bat-kolio.net/cdg2video/">cdg2video (linux)</a>: you&#8217;ve got to build it yourself, no Ubuntu packages, only Gentoo ebuild. Free as in freedom, baby.</p>
<p>With <a href="http://www.kibosh.org/pykaraoke/">PyKaraoke (Windows and Linux):</a> There&#8217;s a &#8220;convert to mpg&#8221; option. Haven&#8217;t tested it, but if it&#8217;s broken they&#8217;ll fix it.</p>
<p>Now, there should be a way to do this for free on all platforms with VLC. VLC is supposed to be able to transcode any format it can play into a range of formats (including Quicktime, h264, etc). Plus it&#8217;s scriptable, so if you can convert one file, you can convert a whole library.</p>
<p>But I tried all the options I could think of and couldn&#8217;t get it to work. The resulting videos would play in VLC, but with errors in iTunes. Ableton Live must&#8217;ve picked up on those errors in its pre-analysis and wouldn&#8217;t even try to import them.</p>
<p>Right now I&#8217;m happy with kJams, so if anyone finds the magic parameters, let me know.</p>
