tooLAME is an MPEG-1 layer 2 encoder; LAME is layer 3. I've never used tooLAME, though, so perhaps it works about as well. As far as I know, LAME isn't included in Debian for legal reasons. --- To the original poster: Unless you need to make an mp3 for a hardware player or something, you'd be better off using oggenc. I just tried the lame package from marillat; it seems to work fine for me. I fed it the audio from a two-hour movie and about an hour of /dev/urandom. No problem either for a LAME I just built myself using gcc-4.0 Can you provide a sample source audio file (perhaps cut down to a reasonable size using dd)? Also give the exact command you're using to encode. I'll see if I can reproduce your problem on my system. --- On a related note: The lame source can be easily compiled into a debian package. Whenever you see a debian directory in a source tree you can just run: $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b If you know you have the build dependencies met you can run instead: $ fakeroot debian/rules binary (which is a little easier to type) If you decide to build yourself a debian package of LAME be sure to run `make uninstall` in the source tree first. Things can get confusing with a package installed to /usr and the same program installed to /usr/local. -Corey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
