Nah, that is just where you put the codecs.

tar.bz2 means that it is a bz2 compressed tar file. You need to uncompress it. Do you have winrar installed?

"Do you have winrar installed?"

No, but I've got a zip program. Is that something altogether different? Is the only way of uncompressing it is by installing another program?

What about my version of RealPlayer? Is that a problem?

You don't even need to have real player installed. mplayer is completetly indipendant.
Depends if this said program can uncompress a tar.bz2 file or not. I would have thought that if it could it would already be associated with them.

Attached the needed DLL for you anyway. UPX'ed and then zipped.

Thanks CD but I've downloaded your zip and when I try to extract it, I get a 'no file found' message.

Is anything going to work????

I need sipr.so.6.0 too.

Looks like it's onto Winrar.

Hi CD.

Downloaded and installed a completely different zip program but that one also didn't extract the file, while other files already on my pc extracted fine.

I managed to get hold of a sipr3260.dll file from a German (I think) website and ran the procedure again, which DID remove the sipr3260.dll error, however, I still get the sipr.so.6.0 error but cannot find this file for Windows anywhere on the Internet.

"If you like I could do a package containing an mplayer build with real codecs enabled, the real codecs and the mplayer config edited to enable pcm output. You could then just drop any rm file onto the mplayer.exe and it would convert."

Any progress on this?



FYI, this is what I now get-

I guess the DLL that you got is the wrong one, which is why it fails to load. Should look like the above.

Have you made any progress on doing a package containing an mplayer build with real codecs enabled, the real codecs and the mplayer config edited to enable pcm output. I could then just drop any rm file onto the mplayer.exe and it would convert?

If not, I think I'm going to have to quit for a second time and try the Tinra method.

Thanks.

UPDATE- Just tried using Tinra and it worked! BUT....it converts in real time, which is not what I want.

UPDATE-

IT WORKED! IT WORKED! IT WORKED! IT WORKED! IT WORKED! IT WORKED!

A half-hour long audio file converted in about a second! UNBELIEVABLE! Thanks for your partience CD (even if your techno garble really did drive me up the wall)! You're easily the worst teacher I've ever had the misfortune of being taught by!!

Want to know how?
