Error training with TEDLIUM release 1 data

[Vamsi]

Hi,

I am trying to train a model using TEDLIUM release1 data set and use it with pocketsphinx. However, when i try to run 'sphinxtrain run' command, it fails with the following error

INFO: sphinx_fe.c(967): Processing all remaining utterances at position 0
INFO: sphinx_fe.c(787): Converting /Users/vkrish2/Downloads/CMU_Sphinx/TEDLIUM_release1/wav/train_sph/AaronHuey_2010X.sph to /Users/vkrish2/Downloads/CMU_Sphinx/TEDLIUM_release1/feat/train_sph/AaronHuey_2010X.mfc

.............

Can someone please help me out?
Should I convert sph files from big endian to little endian? If yes, how to do such conversion?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

You need to convert the input to WAV format and split it on utterances.
