I think I understand the process, the explanation is first rate.
My problem is that I cannot find encoder_dxa.exe. The link in step 1 is broken and a neither search of the free codec site or the web brings up anything useful.
Can anyone point me at the right place or tell me where I'm going wrong, please? [/code]

The link in STEP 1 did not point to encode_dxa.exe, but to a now defunct LAME (a MP3 encoder) download site
If you still need to get LAME, try it the "official" way: http://lame.sourceforge.net/download.php

If you need encode_dxa.exe you have to download ScummVM_Tools and install it,
i don't think you can get it without the other tools, i may be wrong though
http://scummvm.org/downloads.php
Scroll down to Tools, dunno what platform your on

Many thanks Raziel.
Have downloaded the tools and will try them over the coming week.

I'm having the problem that encode_dxa.exe doesn't create the DXA-files... it only converts the wav-files to mp3 (or ogg, whatever I chose). The PNGs though don't get converted to DXA. I'm using this batch:

Code: Select all

for %%i in &#40;*.smk&#41; do binkconv.exe %%i %%~ni.png /n-1 /z1 /#
for %%i in &#40;*.smk&#41; do binkconv.exe %%i %%~ni.wav /v /#
for %%i in &#40;*.smk&#41; do encode_dxa.exe --mp3 -b 96 -B 160 %%~ni

I've even tried again with this one:

Code: Select all

for %%i in &#40;*.smk&#41; do encode_dxa.exe --mp3 %%~ni

But no DXA-files get created. What am I doing wrong?

Do you have encode_dxa.exe in the current directory?

Sure, that's why the MP3-files get created, or not?

I'm probably the wrong person to answer this since I'm not familiar with Windows scripting, but I assume that %%~ni expands to the file name, minus extension, i.e. intro.smk becomdes just intro.

With the development version of encode_dxa it seems that you have to spell out the entire file name, e.g. encode_dxa --mp3 intro.smk. What happens if you change %%~ni to %%i, assuming the latter is the entire filename?

Actually I've just found the answer in the other "Feeble Files"-thread in the "General Discussions" subforum.

I just had to add .smk to the %%~ni variable. (%%~ni.smk).

That fixed it.

Which leads me to the question
Was there any work done on the new better compression for encode_dxa?

I'm asking because i only have a small, loud and VERY slow pc sitting
here and i don't want to spend another 2(!) months (with work inbetween)
encoding the dxa.
Only if the compression has been updated.

Which leads me to another question

Is there any news on smk support (the info of a possible support was
taken from another thread on this forum: Kingdom O'Magic
http://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?t=1856&start=15

Any news (positive or negative) on this?

Please!?

Thanks

Yes, just a few days ago it was added. In fact, the dxa files are smaller than the original smk's!

Since you're on Amiga, I guess you'll have to compile it yourself.
