    Hello,<br>
    I am having a persistent problem in converting just three files with
    OggDrop, the other ninety files converted fine.<br>
    "Warning: Unexpected EOF in reading WAV header"<br>
    I have tried resaving the files in my wave editor under a different
    filename with no improvement.<br>
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this?<br>
    I can think of no reason why these three files in particular should
    be any different from the other ninety that converted as they were
    all made in the same way with similar naming conventions.<br>
    I've tried looking at other Ogg Vorbis converters, but so far have
    found none that offer this level of control (56k, mono).<br>
    Your suggestions are appreciated.<br>
    Thank you very much!<br>

    <pre>Hello,
When I drop two wav files on the OggDrop box (separately), one converts 
as expected but the other gets the following error message:
"Warning: Unexpected EOF in reading WAV header"

When I drop two wav files on the OggDrop box (together), one converts as 
expected but the other gets the following error message:
"Warning: Unexpected EOF in reading WAV header error is invalid argument 
(22)"

I've tried using both of the following versions with the same result:
-oggdropXPdV1.9.0-1.3.2-generic
-oggdropXPdV1.9.0-aoTuVb6.03

I am using Windows XP Pro SP3, and the wav files are 44.1hz, 24b, stereo.  
I am attempting to convert to .ogg, 56 kbps, mono.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much,
Spencer

Hi.

Could you send the first few kB of the file to me?  Usually this means the
WAV file is using a feature in its header that is unsupported.

More information needed. Is it possible to get a copy of
that file posted somewhere for us to get a look at?

If not, libsndfile:

    http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/

ships with a program called sndfile-info which basically
dumps the file headers is a human readable form. POsting the
output of the program with your file may provide enought
information to debug this issue. There are windows binaries
available on that web site.

Almost certainly this is a corrupt or malformed file.
