DESCRIPTION
oggdec
decodes Ogg Vorbis files into PCM-encoded ("uncompressed") audio files, either WAV or RAW format.
For each input file,
oggdec
writes to a filename based on the input filename, but with the extension changed to ".wav" or ".raw" as appropriate.
If the input file is specified as
-
, then
oggdec
will read from stdin, and write to stdout unless an output filename is specified. Likewise, an output filename of
-
will cause output to be to stdout.
Writing WAV format to stdout is a bad idea. WAV requires a seekable medium for the header to be rewritten after all the data is written out; stdout is not seekable.
OPTIONS
"-Q,
Suppresses program output.
"-h,
Print help message.
"-v,
Display version information.
"-b
Bits per sample. Valid values are 8 or 16.
"-e
Set endianness for 16-bit output. 0 (default) is little-endian (Intel byte order). 1 is big-endian (sane byte order).
"-R,
Output in raw format. If not specified, writes WAV file (RIFF headers).
"-s
Set signedness for output. 0 for unsigned, 1 (default) for signed.
"-o
Write output to specified filename. This option is only valid if one input [file] is specified.
EXAMPLES
Decode a file
enabler.ogg
to
enabler.wav
as little-endian unsigned 16-bit (default options):
oggdec enabler.ogg
Decode a file
enabler.ogg
to
enabler.raw
as headerless little-endian unsigned 16-bit:
oggdec --raw=1 enabler.ogg
Decode
enabler.ogg
to
enabler.crazymonkey
as unsigned 8-bit:
oggdec -b 8 -s 0 -o enabler.crazymonkey enabler.ogg
Decode
enabler.ogg
to
enabler.raw
as big-endian signed 16-bit (any of the following):
oggdec -R -e 1 -b 16 enabler.ogg
oggdec -R -e 1 -b 16 -o enabler.raw - < enabler.ogg
oggdec -R -e 1 -b 16 - < enabler.ogg > enabler.raw
Mass decoding (foo.ogg to foo.wav, bar.ogg to bar.wav, quux.ogg to quux.wav, etc.):
oggdec *.ogg
