Hi, folks. I'm trying to prepend an OGG file with a given amount of silence. The solution that another developer and I are working with is to generate an audio file of a given duration of silence, convert that to OGG and use oggCat to try to append them.<br>
<br>This does work, however I'm seeing that in Windows, oggCat is seems to be re-encoding the audio (it counts from 0 to what I assume is the number of seconds of audio in the resulting file, taking a couple minutes, which is how long it would take to encode the audio in question). We've tried various things to ensure that the 2 OGG files are similar enough to be able to be concatenated without re-encoding, such as: Encoding a full song to OGG (in stereo, 192Kbps bit rate, 44.1KHz sample rate) using oggenc2 (a command line OGG encoder), creating a WAV file containing nothing but silence, reading the OGG's reported nominal bitrate (using the Vorbis API's vorbis_info structure) and encoding the WAV file to OGG (using the first OGG file's sample rate and nominal bit rate). Once both OGGs are created, when I use oggCat, it will still re-encode instead of doing a quick concatenation.<br>
<br>The other developer I'm working with says that when he does the same procedure in a *nix environment, it does not re-encode the audio. This is even though he is using the same methods that I am using in a Windows environment.<br>
<br>Can anybody determine if this is a bug? Or would somebody be willing to test oggCat by appending these two files together (file 1, then file 2) to see if oggCat is behaving different in Windows versus *nix, or if the files are somehow being created in some incompatible manner? The files in question are here:<br>
