Hi Richard : I have received other recommendation for ffmpeg, so it is good to hear your second and supporting opinion. I will look into it. FYI: I did find a perl utility call ogg2mp3. I believe you can get it from http://gitorious.org/ogg2mp3/pages/Home, although I was directed to a gentoo site for it. It needs the ogg-vorbis port and it is extremely simple to work with but doesn't seem like there is any direct control over where the mp3 files are written. Although with a superior process running it, that can be worked around.
Thanks again for the tip on ffmpgeg. -- Tim tim at tee jay forty nine dot com or akwebsoft dot com http://www.akwebsoft.com _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
