Hello all,

I've been having some problems with the .ogg encoder when run within
Windows.  Someone at vorbis.com told me to post my problem to the mailing
list (which I assume this is, unless I've subscribed to the wrong one) and
see if you folks have any pointers.

Without further ado:

System is a Win98SE machine with a 400Mhz processor and 160Mb of memory.
I've downloaded all the newest versions of every .ogg encoder for windows
that I could find.  That includes two or three different versions of
Oggdrop, the latest version of vorbistools, oggenc, and vorbis.dll for use
in CDex (which is my ripper of choice).

All my attempts to encode a wav into an ogg on my system have failed.  In
the cases of vorbis.dll (CDex), oggenc, and vorbistools, the encoding
process crashes before it can complete.  I've not been able to find a
pattern in when it crashes; apparently, just at some random point in the
process it dies.  The resulting .ogg files play and sound perfect up until
the point where the process failed, where they are simply cut off.  I have
taken down the Windows crash data (core dump) from the CDex version of the
crash (vorbis.dll) and can email that as a follow-up if anyone needs that
data.

Oggdrop has failed in a different way.  I drag a .wav onto it, and nothing
happens.  I'm hamstrung by not knowing what is *supposed* to happen when I
drag a file onto Oggdrop.  There is no animation or activity from the
program's visible window.  I thought perhaps it silently encoded the file
and left it on my system, but after a careful search I was forced to
conclude no .ogg files were created.  Oggdrop gives no feedback, no error
message, and doesn't even seem to have crashed when I drag a file on it.
Simply, nothing.  And yes, this is the most recent release version of
Oggdrop.

If anyone can help me figure out what's causing these problems, or point me
to someone who can (I'm not sure whether my request is on-topic for this
mailing list), I'd be much obliged.

Thanks for your time, and my apologies if this is off-topic,

-Kasreyn
