VOC2RAW Copyright (c) 1991 Michael J Schrody
VOC2RAW is a unique utility that converts any Sound Blaster
*.VOC format digitized audio file to a "generic" 8-bit raw
audio file. This will afford owners of other sound hardware
the ability to use a large percentage of the files that are
currently available in the VOC format. Most sound cards
include either a program capable of playing or importing raw
audio files, or a program that will convert raw files to the
sound card's proprietary format.
The only requirement for use is that the *.VOC file contain
one or more unpacked blocks of audio data. Files utilizing
Creative Labs' proprietary packing method cannot be converted
with VOC2RAW. If a file contains multiple blocks, some of
which are packed, and some of which are not, only the
unpacked files will be converted. If VOC2RAW encounters a
packed block during processing, it will announce that it has
found (and skipped) the packed block. Using the "/s" option,
"silence blocks" (the VOC format supports the optional coding
of periods of silence for compression purposes) can ve
converted to "literal silence" (byte value of silence = 128)
in the destination file.
To convert a VOC file to a raw file, simply type:
VOC2RAW filename
where "filename" is the name of the VOC file to convert. The
.VOC extension is optional. The "/s" switch may be place
either before or after the filename to enable silence
conversion. A raw audio file will be created having the same
filename as the original file, but with the extension ".RAW".
The original file will remain unchanged.
If you find this program useful, please send whatever your
conscience dictates. Any "donation" of $10 or more will get
you on my mailing list. This way you will stay apprised of
future updates to this and other Sound Blaster software.
