Thx a lot man, I had the exact same problem and this worked for me perfectly. I simply "Unblocked" each of the files and installed it by:Īnd now Lame shows up as an encoding option in VirtualDub! I wonder how many more of these ridiculous "hidden security features" windows has to waste my time with. I so happened to right click and view the properties of the files and found that they were blocked. and there were no indication whatsoever that the files were being blocked. I finally figured out the problem (after about 8 system restores after each failed installation).įor some reason, Vista had a block on the LameACM.inf, LameACM.acm and lame_acm.xml because the files "came from another computer". Newer versions of Lame do not have the ACM files.Īny help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Lame 64 bit causes VirtualDub to crash whenever I try to open the Audio Compression settings window. I've tried using Lame version 3.97 and Lame 64 bit. I've even manually added registry entries to the ControlSet and copying the LameACM.acm and LameACM.xml files to the SysWow64 and System32 folders. I've also tried installing using the conventional method but to no avail. Typing the following (example_path replaced with the actual path to the extracted files), then hit enter: rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 c:\Temp_Folder_Path\codecXXX.inf For the life of me, I cant remember what I installed to get it there, Im guessing the ACM version, reinstallng that though hasnt put it back in the list. Changing directories to sysWOW64 ("cd C:\windows\syswow64")ģ. Ive used VirtualDub to make AVIs with Lame MP3 as the audio compressor, I went to use it the other day and Lame MP3 had disappeared from the audio compressors list. Opening up a command prompt by typing "cmd" in the run box and pressing Ctrl Shift Enter (to run as Administrator).Ģ. I've managed to successfully install Huffyuv and Lagarith (both 32 bit) on my system by:ġ. I know that I have to use a slightly different method of installing 32bit encoders on a 64 bit OS. I've been trying to install the Lame ACM encoder on my Vista 64 bit OX but it just won't install properly. FLAC and OPUS may be options, but once again you'd need to find an application or library that can write the OGG container format for you, as I'm not aware of any fully managed OGG writers.I'm not sure where I should be posting this thread, so please feel free to move it if necessary. I think theoretically you can put audio encoded in any format into an OGG container, but in practice, audio in an OGG container is usually encoded with Vorbis. Whenever you transcode, you first decode to PCM, then re-encode in the target codec. The article I wrote which you linked to above includes a brief explanation of how you can use LAME.exe with stdin and stdout to convert PCM to MP3 on the fly.Īs for your second question, the answer is yes. However, with both MP3 and OGG you'll find that the easiest way is to find an unmanaged DLL or a command line utility and access that from. All it does is give you ways to access encoders that are already installed on your computer (such as ACM or Media Foundation Transforms). NAudio does not include an MP3 or an OGG encoder. To answer your first question, to create MP3 or OGG you need an encoder.
