Hi,
I am trying to encode a 2.1gig .wav file using oggenc with the
following error message:
andrew@ilium:~/Desktop$ oggenc -q 6 merge.wav -o test.ogg
ERROR: Cannot open input file "merge.wav": File too large
I have compiled oggenc from source:
andrew@ilium:~/Desktop$ oggenc -version
OggEnc v1.0.2
I am hoping that this not a limitation of oggenc, rather that I have
done something a little silly during compile :-) Any thoughts?
Andrew

Unfortunately, vorbis-tools hasn't seen a release for more than two years now and so this change is not included in your copy. In case your distribution ships a copy of vorbis-tools, please try that one as it might include Large File Support. I know Gentoo as well as Debian ship LFS-enabled versions of oggenc.

Actually, the version of arecord that I was using to make the file would automatically split at 2GB anyway, so I was converting to PCM to allow me to chain it all back together. But it achieved the same result. Geoff.

Turns out Ubuntu used the patched oggenc for every distro after Dapper Drake 6.10 so I filed a bug report asking that the Dapper version be patched as well. Not sure how that went as I have moved to Slackware and I am hoping that their version of oggenc will handle large files. If not it is a far better compiling environment and I should be able to utilise the svn repository. Mind you an official release of vorbis tools with the patched oggenc would be nice?
