The Feeble Files

By the by, is there a way to get around the Smacker decoder's wanting you to press the "Done" button after each conversion?

I doubt it. You could always patch the binary so the final messagebox doesn't appear, but I doubt one is allowed to do that

I made a program that checks if the Bink converter is done and simply sends a WM_QUIT message. Makes overnight converting much easier

I know I forgot something in my script Use the "/#" flag.

is it now possible to use adpcm audio or ogg or mp3 audio in dxa files? the theard is so big.

If yes, how?

The current version of encode_dxa will produce two files, instead of one: One .dxa file, and one compressed audio file (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, or FLAC). The .dxa file is silent, but the audio file is played while the movie is running.

So it should be automatic.

Thanks for the information, thats perfectly so you can edit the audio track and make it better in some times

But now the encode is very slow, the first edition was so fast on my pc the newest edition is very very slow

great work

Do you plan to include [ 1504492 ] DXA: New compression scheme for encode_dxa in the next release?
I would say that it should be done because people would not like to have te reencode all the feeble files smk another time.

I don't think it will be included. It's too late. From the other hand, people will not have to reencode unless they will really want to save space. I.e. ScummVM will understand both compression methods.

how can i compress with new version of encode.dxa for a vorbis audio?

for %%i in (*.smk) do encode_dxa.exe %%~ni .\ --vorbis -q 7 --> error
or:
encode_dxa.exe %%~ni .\ --vorbis -m 32 -M 128 -q 7 --> error
or:
encode_dxa.exe --vorbis -m 32 -M 128 -q 7 %%~ni .\ --> error

in a batch, of course.

Would the files then smaller? that would be great, because you have some advanteges to more games on a DVD for playing the games on every pc you will find.

To Cypersonic:

Use a phrase like this


encode_dxa --vorbis intro

[cybersonic]

To Cybersonic:
encode_dxa --vorbis intro

yeah, by 223 files!

[raschi]

cybersonic:

for %%i in (*.smk) do encode_dxa.exe --vorbis %%~ni

This should work.

[FeebleFiles1]

cybersonic:

for %%i in (*.smk) do encode_dxa.exe --vorbis %%~ni

This should work.

do you mean that this will work with the CMD of windows? i dont know, but i will try it

edit:

i tryd it, at me only for

Code: Select all

%i in (*.smk) do encode_dxa.exe --vorbis %~ni 

that is working it without problems

[cybersonic]

that is working it without problems

yes!
thanx @all

I tried the new encoder yesterday, and it saves about 340 MB for the 4CD release over the original dxa encoding scheme.
This is great! And with being 130 MB smaller than the original .smk files, the new encoder beats the commercial smk compression ratio.
The only downside is that, it took more then 12 hours an a P4 Dual Core 2,8 GHz to encode it all.
