[vorbis] DOS commandline decoder for Ogg beta4?
Help-- I've been experimenting with the encoder, using lots of different types of music, and I'm floored by great sound quality of the ogg format. Here's my problem--- I prefer not to use the Windows graphical environment for encoding or decoding, regardless of how good the program (like dbPowerAMP), but I can't find a DOS commandline decoder for converting Ogg files back to Wav files, I'm not a Linux user, I don't think I'm computer savvy enough to become one, and the only vorbis binaries I can find for the dos/win platform are oggenc and the dragndrop encoder for Win95/98/etc. Oggenc doesn't seem to have decode option. The documentation for the latest Lame version that I have (3.86) says that it supports ogg formats only up to 128kbps. Am I wrong? And at the moment, I can't get of the later versions 3.88 and 3.89 to encode or decode ogg files at all. Any suggestions would be most helpful...

>Any suggestions would be most helpful...I suggest you compile the decoder example and use that - it should work fine in DOS (possibly with a small tweak or two). However, I don't know of anyone that has tried to compile libvorbis and libogg for DOS, so you might run into unexpected problems. I don't think any of the main developers have DOS compilers, so we're not going to do it for you.

I made a DOS based ogg encoder/decoder, but it's not really perfect... My Watcom C compiler doesn't like the lot of dinamic and huge local variables... And there are some code optimization and rounding difference too... (quality loss, slower code) But try it: its name is AudioCV you can download it from the http://mpxplay.cjb.net http://mpxplay.tripod.com pages. There are win32 and DOS versions too. visit, download,use,enjoy Attila Padar --- >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.
