Function [up] [down]
Saves highly compressed MPEG samples.
Loops no
Channels yes (mono/stereo)
Compressionyes
Due to the high compression ratio, this will take a while. In fact it is highly recomended to have an 68060 for this.
This module uses external encoders. Therfore I've tried to make it highly configurable.

Parameter [up] [down]
EncoderChoose the executable of the encoder you want to use. It has been testet with thesupplied 8Hz, as well as with Pegase, Lame and Ncoder.
ParameterThis is the parameter template which is passed on the command line to the encoder.These placeholders are currently suported :
  • %b : the bitrate
  • %c : the parameter string for mono/stereo files (see below)
  • %i : the input filename
  • %o : the output filename
  • %r0 : the samplingrate in Hz
  • %r1 : the samplingrate in kHz (at the moment just 32, 44.1, 48)
MonoStr The parameter string for mono-files which is used above with "%c".
StereoStrThe parameter string for stereo-files which is used above with "%c".
WaveThis determines in which the sample data is passed to the encoder.
  • CDDA
  • RIFF-WAV
BitRate Strength of compression. Says how many bits per second are allowed. Thelower the bitrate is, the lower is the quality.
PipeIf you have Problemswith the pipe: device, you may try an alternative onelike apipe: or awnpipe:.

Notes [up] [down]
There are presets for most common encoders supplied. Still it is neccesary that you adapt the path of the respective encoder executable.
If you want to adapt it for further encoders, I recomend studing the supplied ones.
