Audio formats

Post by **Dinoguy1000** » Tue Dec 20, 2005 6:17 pm

Well, we've got a thread for working on encrypted and compressed formats, so I figured, why not audio (and video and binary, in a minute)? Not that I know how to decipher these formats - I know even less than Mr.Mouse and friendsofwatto...

Excellent idea.
I admit that I have started to watch more deeply the audio formats (algorithms) only in the last days so I'm still a newbie in this field.
Let's start with some links.

Xbox ADPCM:
Used for some of the audio data contained in the XWB archives available mainly on the Xbox console for games like Unreal Championship, Psychonauts and Conan
Code:
C: http://aluigi.altervista.org/papers.htm#others-file
Delphi: uXboxAdpcmDecoder.pas in Psychonauts Explorer
http://quick.mixnmojo.com/software.php#source
(I don't know what is the latest official homepage of the code),
Windows codec:download.php?id=205
(no source code and unknown author)

hello

need software for play or convert this files

wav files included in fsb archive in games coldfear,american chopper 2(ps2) and evil dead regeneration

These files will not play because they are compressed. (all FSB3 archives compress the files) . I do not know the compression algorithm, so these files are currently unusable. I would imagine that it would be a common compression format though, as FSB3 archives are in a variety of different games, and also different consoles.

Why don't you just tell all of us first what the method for encoding is, and THEN write a decoder for him? I have seen you lurk at this forum for a long time (you may be invisible to others, but not to me) and you refuse to help people here. Tread lightly, friend.

Indeed, no problem. But we would kindly urge Sly to include a description of the encoding method, as that is what we do here.

Sajad: GE and MexCom can unpack the files, but they are still compressed. That is why they don't work.

Sly: Yes, we welcome your assistance on this matter, and hope that you will share your knowledge with us.

Agree with you.
Personally I hate everything is closed source, and sharing the knowledge is the best thing we have.
Nobody likes to do the same job 2 or more times so I don't understand what evil mind could prefer that other people redo the same things again while he has already made it... that's totally senseless moreover in a community!

anybody know how can mib sound ps2 files convert or play

The ffmpeg project has support to various ADPCM formats, XA included:

http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/index.php

if this audio uses the XA codec (possible) it will work.

Actually I'm not aware of programs which implement this library in a raw mode, I'm too lazy at the moment for doing this thing since the ffmpeg library is not super-mega-simple to use.

Hi somebody knows where i can found a audio conversor created by fmod?
I know it pack. but i don't know how to reconvert to pcm.

Any idea?

Savage · Post by **Savage** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 11:21 pm

I tried the web http://www.fmod.org, the creators of the file systeme fsb and packers audio.

Somebody can download the api (freeware) and create a plugin for winamp or similar.

The plugin info it's in: examples/plugin_dev/

Thanks!
