wav format?

[Rick]

What does the wav format need to be to be played in LE? I downloaded this danger.wav from http://www.moviesoundscentral.com/aceventura.htm but can't seem to get it to play in lua.

I can export 4 different kind of wav types. I use PCM 16 bit.

You can use WavePad (normal version is free, possible to buy masters edition also) to convert WAV files to OGG:

Does the ogg format support lossless compression?

[Canardia]

Yes, but the lossy compression in Ogg is so good that you don't hear a difference, and the file size is much smaller as with lossless compression.

FLAC is a Ogg codec ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg#Ogg_codecs ) which has lossless compression, but it compresses only 50% of the file size (Ogg Vorbis compresses around 90% with variable bitrate min:96 max:128 without any hearable quality loss).

[Masterxilo]

Any lossy compression, when used multiple times on the same data will result in noticeable quality loss sooner or later.

 

Lossy compression is a bad thing. Unfortunately, hard-disks aren't big enough and internet connections not fast enough.

Not really, lossless is lossless. Zip a file a hundred times, it'll still be the same file when unzipped.

sry, should have said, I was referring to
