GUIDE: Compressing audio/video to vorbis in 4 easy steps!

mish-mash

loooool, does this phrase really exist in english?

sounds more like german pseudo-english to me.

(no offense intended)

It does. I means the same thing as hodgepodge.

At least according to this dictionary entry. And this one.

(Incidentally, MAD Magazine's spoof of the movie MASH was called MISH MOSH but I don't know if there's a connection.)

Amazing.

Those germans have a word for everything.

Unfortunantly, this fine Compression package doesn't work for me on Atlantis:



It's the same problem i've posted here already:

Anyone know, what i could do?

Hello everybody!!

The Simon2 tools does not work for me .

I have the Spanish Version Talkie CD (with Spanish voices and text) distributed by ERBE.

The CD Label is "SPANISH" and has 162 MB of data.

Of course, is an original game (and the first release of this game in Spain, is not a re-release).

Thanks a lot in advance.

EDIT--> I have seen the simon.bat code and I've detected the problem. In my CD, the file of the voice is "simon2.voc" and in the bat file, the name is "simon.voc".

Solved

Why not just use the FOR command instead of putting together those long scripts?

For example, your batch file could be:

Contents of compress_san.bat:

Code: Select all

for /R "%1" %%f in (*.san) do compress_scumm_san.exe "%%~nf" "%1" compressed %2 %3 %4 %5

where the first parameter is the source/uncompressed directory.

And your directory structure could be:
\The Dig
\The Dig\VIDEO
\compressed

So at your command prompt, you would type:

Code: Select all

compress_san.bat "The Dig" "--ogg" "-q 3"

[DarkRay]

.BAT for Full Throttle, copy from CD, and compress to mp3 or ogg

IMPORTANT: put lame.exe and/or oggenc.exe in scumm tools folder

Code: Select all

rem --- use your custom params for compres, defaul is mp3 lame
rem set param_san=--ogg
rem set param_sou=--vorbis

rem --- edit next lines with your folders
path "C:\Scumm\scummVM daily\tools"
set inputdir=C:\FTfull
set outputdir=C:\FTcomp

md %inputdir%\
md %inputdir%\data\
md %inputdir%\video\
md %outputdir%\
md %outputdir%\data

rem --- Delete "rem" from "rem goto COMPRESS" if you want copy source 
rem --- from CD and clean unnecesary files from DATA and VIDEO folder.
rem --- For see why there are unnecesary files see:

Am I doing something wrong here?

All the files compressed or seemed to with the batch file, but I have oggs now, and scummVM doesnt seem to recognise/read them and reports that the original san files are not found. The movie sequences are therefore skipped. The speech and audio works fine and were also compressed.

The Ogg Vorbis files are just the sound. You still need the SAN files, though they should be a bit smaller after they've been run through the compression program.

[linuxgeek]

The original SAN files arent in the directory with the oggs, only in the directory with the other uncompressed files. The SANs dont appear to have changed in size...

Edit: Think I fixed it, removed the last two lines in the batch file, the "move" lines.

hey there,
(using DOTT files)

after using the .bat file it all gos well,i see the temp files etc, then when it has finished,i am then left with nothing, there is only the monster.sou left, where are the compressed files?

thanks in advance.

I have not been following this thread too closely, but from what I gather DOTT doesn't need a batch file (on the first page of this thread you'll see DOTT mentioned, but since it only has one data file, a batch file isn't necessary)

if you compress using lame you should end up with a MONSTER.SO3 in the same directory, if you compress using oggenc you should get a MONSTER.SOG

Hi.

I have done a bit of testing here.

Cool, thanks

1. The simon directory should be named simon1 according to the bat file.

Done!

2. The monster.sog file in Full Throttle doesn´t get moved because you use / instead of \.

Fixed

Also I don´t think it is a good idea to move the *.FLU files since new ones are generated when you use compress_san.

Roger, stupid mistake. Fixed.

3. For The Dig the executables are in the wrong directory. Also there is a problem with the move commands in the bat file because of /.

Wrong directory? On the CD all the actual game files are in the 'dig' directory. I did get the compress_bun thing wrong, that's fixed.

Will report more if I find any.

Muchly appreciated!

Edit: Thanks for the package:)

New one, then!

thanks got the file compressed but now im having probs with the dig

[benihana]

Haven't been following this thread closely but I wanted to report a problem I had with COMI so it could hopefully help others if they get stuck:


I followed puntloo's instructions and ran his scripts and got the game working great, until the cutscene after I get the map from Palido. I would get the map and leave the beach at which point the game would crash.

I replaced all the .san files my monkey3 directory with those directly from CD1, and it fixed this problem. I haven't played past the cutscene, so I don't know how this will affect future gameplay, but just wanted to give a heads up.

[alckras]

Thanks, very usefull to compress my The Dig game.
