I've had this problem encoding oggs where the output file is small, like 24kbytes for a 4 minute song (tested at 128 and 160kbit). I'm running Windows 2000 and this has happened in oggenc, oggdrop, and CDEX, though I've also been able to get good encodings with each of these. I think the only clean encodings have been .wav's that I've made myself with SoundForge or CoolEdit, the bum ones have been tracks I've pulled off of CDs (with CDEX, EAC, and Windows native).

Clues?It's possible that oggenc (oggdrop shares the same code for this, I don't know about CDEX) is misreading the wav header (or the wav header is incorrect) and only encoding part of the file. Could you send me (offlist!) a short section of the file (say the first 100 kB) Michael --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Clues?AFAIK there are quite a lot different WAV formats around. The PCM format is what CoolPro/SF saves by default and what seems to work fine. It's very possible that your rippers produce different WAV formats. It might be interesting to check whether there is some option in the properties of your rippers to select the .WAV subformat (try PCM). Maybe one of the developers can tell which WAV formats are supported by oggenc/oggdrop/... and which not?
