ScummVM and DOTT - Compressing the sound file..

Hi gang,

I'm trying to compress the monster.sou file with LAME, as directed by the docs I've been reading. Problem is, it goes for a while, then errors out. I'm using the latest version of LAME (3.96.1, have also tried 3.95.1 with same results).

Anybody been able to successfully compress it? I really don't want that monstrosity of a sound file hogging my SD card. But, I'm not sure what else to do.

This is the error I'm getting at the end:

Code:

Any ideas?

Thanks!

EDIT: For those who aren't aware, DOTT = Day of the Tentacle. Great game.

Had the same problem myself and tryed ogg vorbis instead.

Works fine now.
