greetings to all,

my standard encoder right now is OggDropXPd 1.7.11 GT3b2. works brilliantly and i love it. but of course, i also love having the latest and greatest, so i downloaded OggDropXPd 1.7.11 libvorbis 1.1.0.

sadly, the new one just kind of sits there and looks pretty. when i drag files onto it, not a thing happens - it just sits there. no spinning fishie, no sparkling ogg files. nothing crashes, no error reports... simply a program that doesn't seem to recognize that it's been given some input.

anybody have any thoughts on what's changed between these two versions that would make the new version not want to play nicely? i'm running WinME on a 1gig Athlon with no special hardware if that helps.

tanx

the same here...

p.s. P-3 1200, Win98se

I've got no problems at all with the 1.1 P3 build...
now that doesn't help much, but it idicates that the app fails only on certain setups...

Ihave these same problem.
OggdropXPd v. 1.7.11 using libVorbis v1.1.0, using GT3b2, using aoTuVb2
optimized for P3/AMD ( i have AthlonXP 2000+) doesn't work.
My OS is Win98 SE.
When i checked on friend's comp with Win XP all it's ok.
Generic versions are ok, but there are no generics compilation for Megamix2 or libVorbis v1.1.0.

Same problem as descibed. i have been only only testing on flac files though some work some don't. I have removed and redone tags and still not go.

using: oggdropXPd V.1.7.11 using libVorbis v1.1.0 2004-09-24

Have you tried the MSVC builds of OggDropXPd?

Yes. Generic MSVC6 SP6 compilations are ok, but where can i find non-ICL7.1 oggdropXPd V.1.7.11 using libVorbis v1.1.0 ?
And another question, is it possible to make AMD-optimised version, Win9x compatibile ??

alright, that could be it... at least, it's as good a suggestion as i've heard. i don't have problems with anything else made with the icl library though.

where can i get a generic msvc6 compile of the latest oggdropXPd with 1.1 ? rarewares is where i generally get everything....

Sorry, guys, I've been away over the weekend. I'll check this out and add generic builds.

OK, I've uploaded a "generic" build of oggdropXPd (libvorbis1.1.0).

For reference purposes, I am developing on:

• P4 2.8c processor at stock speeds
• WinXPPro SP2

I know it's no help to anyone with a problem, but all versions run perfectly on my system and I have no other system available for test purposes.

Encoded about 7,000 files over the weekend with the P4 optimized compile. No problems on my home built system (Xp Pro/SP2).

Awesome! I've been waiting for this. Thanks, as always.

John33, Would you be willing to compile a copy of the new 1.1.0 release in the test V1.7.12 flavor (the one with the Serial Number options)? I am interested in doing some more testing on binary mismatch problems that I had before, and see how the new 1.1.0 version fares. Thanks

Hi Matt,

The main reason that this hasn't already been released is that I lost the modified source when I had a major catastrophic system crash some time back and I haven't had the time since to concentrate on getting it done (plus one or two other requests). I won't have the same problem again as I now regularly back up to a USB2 hard drive. I will make an effort to try to get something done in the the next week or so.

thank you so much john33... the generic compile works great and is less filling... errr... i mean smaller at the same time you're a god-like lifesaver.

just as a question of curiosity, what are the advantages of those other compiles that are larger and less compatible?

The ICL compiles are produced using processor specific optimisation options available within the compiler and should, therefore, run faster on the target processors. However, the differences aren't that huge as the optimisations are only compiler based rather than code based.

I am having the same problem. I have recently swtich to an Athlon64 processor, OggDropXPd worked fine with my old Pentium, but now it doesn't.

I am trying to convert FLAC. However (like others here) I can convert my old FLAC files that were created with my old Pentium, whereas my newly encoded FLACs don't

I have used all of the compiles from rarewares.com, but none of them work. I can convert FLAC to ogg with foobar. Also, I can transcode ogg to MP3 with lamedropXPd.

my set up details:

In the last 5 months, development switched from a P4 to an Athlon64 3000+ Venice, not the rarifed air of a dual core CPU!! XP Pro, SP2 plus all security updates are installed. I just tested against old flac files and a newly flac encoded album and it ran without any issues here.

Does anything happen? Or, does it simply sit as though nothing was 'dropped'?

Nothing happens it just sits there. Hope this helps
