hi, im wondering how to encode several >2gb w64
files to a lossy format like mp3 or ogg
this is what ive tried so far:
sox: Failed reading itz.w64: Do not understand format type: w64
flac: ERROR unknown format
oggenc: ERROR: Input file "itz.w64" is not a supported format
ardour: plays ok, but no encoded formats available in export dialog
cubase sx, wavelab, nuendo in vmware: wont launch
samplitude in vmware: nothing happens
soundforge8 installer in WINE: wont launch
my vmware trial expired, and i didnt get to trying foobar2000 or soundforge8 in vmware,
but even if they did work, the audio would have to be sent over a samba connection at a
few mb/second..if samba didnt choke on the >2gb files to begin with..,.
..so hopefully linux can do this seemingly simple audio task..any ideas?
if you have erik de castro lopo's libsndfile on your system, you also
have sndfile-convert, which can convert w64 into normal wavs. those can
be used with oggenc.
if you don't, get it here:

in case you need to resample, also get his sample rate conversion
