Right. Some of you may heard about me making a movie for Xenocide; I am using your lovingly created musical compositions for the backround music. But I have a slight problem. I can only use certain formats, and .ogg isn't one of them. What I request is your compositions in .wav format (a pain I know) or a source of a freeware converter. Thanks.

Do a search for mp3 converter, I found one that converts between mp3, ogg, and wav. Allows you to choose the bitrate as well. Used it to convert the various music tracks here to a lower bandwidth mps format for the X-Net viewer.

The mp3 converter allows 30 conversions, 10 from each format, but if you have Win2K pro or XP pro, which requires admin rights to edit the registry, then run the app as a normal user. It can't update the registry, and you always have 30 uses left. Cheesy yes, but I never do stuff as admin, and it's not my fault the app isn't coded properly.

That's a real pain in the a*# indeed. I'm not shure if I will be able to put them online in PCM Wave format because of the size and the bandwidth (10min movie = 10 min music file = approx. 100 meg :wacko: so with more files it could easily become 500 meg). I'll try anyway :wink:

That's exactly what I was saying. Please don't fill up the Xenocide server with PCM wavs.

Look for a prog on sourceforge called CDeX. Its a cd ripper/burner but it also converts mp3's to wav's, wav's to cd and pretty much any combination in between. The best thing about it is that it's open source and free.

 

Also you might want to run a search for a wav editor on sourceforge as well, if cdex doesn't support ogg's then there will be something that does. Heck the default progs that come with most soundcards can do basic converting so have a look on your soundcard cd and see whats there.

winamp and musicmatch are capable of converting too..

AFAIK you can't even SAVE with winamp...

Preferences

-> Plugins

-> Output

->Nullsoft Disk Writer plug-in

Yep, those directions are for winamp.
