As Eric says, they look like 16-bit files. To make this digital audio play on the SB, we pack it up into (what looks like) a 16-bit WAV file. All header information relates to the WAV structure, not the encoded audio contained within it. A quick look over the code indicates that we assume there are 16-bit quantities to read from the AC3/DTS file before encoding it, which are referred to internally as "samples" but are probably not actual audio samples. That these quantities are 16-bit is just an aspect of the format, I think; if you were able to convert the files then it was the correct size. :-) -- smst ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smst's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=752 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19260 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
