san/bun compression?

Post by fairuza »

is it possible to compress the san/bun files using a lame profile such as "-V 2 --vbr-new" rather than use the flags listed in the tools -h?

also, can san/bun be compressed in flac instead? seems like the tools only allow for mp3/ogg??

Using FLAC is not supported, IIRC due to the fact that the resulting files would become bigger than the original (which already contained compressed audio data), i.e. there is no point to doing that.

As for the compression parameters, right now only those listed by the command line help are supported. If you know a bit about coding, you could try to hack the source to support others, though. But no guarantee is made by the team that the resulting files will actually work when used with ScummVM.
