DAMN!! I've looked everywhere..  I managed to download the source code but No1: I have no compiler and No2: dunno if its compatible with win or linus.. yay..

All I'm finding is dead links.. There must be an archive somewhere which has this old codec

Alternative solution:

I use:  http://www.tucows.com/preview/194683.html

PolderbitS Sound Recorder and Editor

to rerecord and edit sound that has formatting that does not allow me to convert normally.   (You can do this digitally or with microphone close to speaker)   I was able to convert old Russian WW2 folk songs this way.

Only converts mp3 to wav and vice versa.

Then you could try converting the wav file to ogg or wss; however you do that normally.  

I'm only suggesting this as it's a very fast way for me to get around this kind of problem.

Has always worked for me.  No exceptions.


I might add, I have a license for those Russian sound files --->   ;)

I had a look at the music .ogg files that came with the game.

They are all variable bitrate...

Nominal bitrate is 128 Kbps...

2 channels.....emm stereo I presume   ;D

44100 hz

Compression Ratio 11 to 1 (8%)

Encoded by Xiphophorus libVorbis l 20010225

I think the only way to do this is to get

 Xiphophorus libVorbis I 20010225 => 1.0 beta 4

128 Kbps
44100 Hz
Stereo

It's not a bug, it's not the program, it's not the gravitational pull of THE MOON... ITS THE ENCODER. THAT'S where all the problem lies! Everyone that is suggesting stuff to me is older stuff that they used to use. The new version of the stuff you guys are suggesting are using NEW vorbis encoders. I need the old one. There's gotte be SOMEWHERE

P.S: I used flauta's program too btw

Hi Pr0ph3t,

My last post before I drop out of this thread.

Would you like me to try converting the mp3 file for you?

I downloaded the 1.0 beta 4 vorbis ogg encoder and IT WORKED! You must convert the mp3 to wav and then using that specific encoder you can make .OGGs compatible!

I have the zip if anyone requires YAY!!!  :o

Thats ok Prophet, the encoder I am using already does a good job.

Glad you got it fixed
