Tech/LxEngine/Samples/LxMorrowind/Converting MP3 to OGG

From Athile

To avoid the legal restrictions with MP3, ffmpeg can be used to convert MP3 to OGG:

• ffmpeg -i "mysong.mp3" -acodec libvorbis -aq 6 mysong.ogg

The transcoding will obviously be:

• Lossy
• Slow
• Inefficient
• etc.

(...but for the demoing purposes of LxMorrowind, externally invoking ffmpeg may be a sufficient solution.)

Script File

Presuming all the Morrowind data is stored in the "mwdata", the following script will create OGG copies of each file side-by-side to the original MP3:

@echo off
IF EXIST ffmpeg.exe (
    for /f "usebackq delims=|" %%f in (`dir /b /s "mwdata\*.mp3"`) do (
        title Processing %%f
        ffmpeg -i "%%f" -acodec libvorbis -aq 6 "%%f.ogg"
    )
    title Done
)
