Transcoding from .ogg to .wav error

[bullyellis]

I am trying to transcode a .ogg file to a .wav file and am having issues.

I am using the following command line:

vlc.exe -v -I dummy "lrjimsqh.ogg" --sout=#transcode{acodec=s161,channels=2}:standard{access=file,mux=wav,dst="lrjimsqh.ogg.wav"}
It is not working.

I am getting the following error:

Code: Select all

main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called stream_out_transcode stream out error: cannot find audio encoder (module:any fourcc:s161). Take a look few lines earlier to see possible reason. stream_out_transcode stream out error: cannot create audio chain main decoder error: cannot create packetizer output (vorb) ogg demux warning: couldn't find any ogg lofical stream

I am using Windows 7 Pro 32 bit. If this is not the correct forum please move thread, I think it is since I am using sout

s16l not s161

Jean. You are my new hero.

Keep up the great work.

Even with the correction and changing vlc.exe to vlc, that command spits out errors in Linux. Of course, I don't know if they have changed commands, or what, since this post. I wanted to change the new mail sound in Thunderbird, but Thunderbird doesn't support ogg files. I went ahead and used the GUI to run the conversion, but the command line feature would be useful for batch conversion.

Here is my output in case you are interested.
