[vorbis] some weird filename related error

[John Edwards]

Windows has a maximum path length, including the filename of 260 characters. I would guess you were over the limit and would get this same problem with any codec.

<p>  Both OggDropXPd 1.6 beta 13 & the modified version of CDex from the site i got OggDrop XPd 1.6 beta 13, and the ogg output plugin for winamp have a problem with this filename:

  Pre Club Mix (Mixed by DJ Pete Gooding) - Cafe Mambo The Real Sound Of Ibiza - David Morales and Albert Cabrera present Moca feat Deanna - Higher (Mo and Al's Original Mix)

  and this one

  001_Pre Club Mix (Mixed by DJ Pete Gooding) - Cafe Mambo The Real Sound Of Ibiza - David Morales and Albert Cabrera present Moca feat Deanna - Higher (Mo and Al's Original Mix)

  first time error (refusing to encode the track) occured, i was encoding from CD to q3.5.
  tried a couple times, on on-the-fly & not on-the-fly mode.
  next, i encoded to .WAV using winamps (wa2.8) diskwriter.

  I then attempted to encode to Ogg q3.5 using Peter P's vorbis output plugin. same error occured.

  next, i tried doing the same with OggDropXPd 1.6 beta 13, same error again.

  only way to make it work with that file name was to cut off everything past the "001_" (added to the filename by wa2.81 after diskwriting), then used OggDrop- it worked.

  Basic point- does ogg vorbis encoders have a problem with lengthy filenames?
