Is there a way to convert compressed OGG to uncompression PCM WAVE format? If so, is there a free program that does it?

I haven't done it personally, but BeSweet (http://dspguru.doom9.net) should be able to handle it.

I can't get BeSweet to work. It just gives a lot of static.

Could you post your command line and logfile ?

I was just using the GUI that Doom9 made. I don't know how to get it.

BeSweet can do this, but you must have the beta version. The current stable version (v1.4) does not accept ogg input. You can get the newest BeSweet beta here (http://dspguru.doom9.net/).

You can also decode ogg into wav in at least two other ways:

Winamp: You can use the winamp diskout plugin to save the file as a wav on your hd.

Graphedit: You can render the ogg file in Graphedit then replace the DirectSound filter (or whichever is last) and replace it with a file writer filter.

Good luck

IIRC oggdrop can also decode if you drop a ogg on it, but i might well be wrong, i haven't done it and i can't check atm as i'm at school

the simplest way to do it really is with plain oggdec (http://digitalinsanity.ath.cx/~tab/oggdec.zip)

Can you give me a basic command line for converting an ogg to wav with that program.

oggdec.exe "path\file.ogg"

that's it :| it creates a wav with the same name I believe in the same dir as the input. There is no way to specify an output.

holy crap
I got bored (http://digitalinsanity.ath.cx/~tab/Lite_Ogg_Decoder.zip)
I could probably get in trouble for including oggdec in a program without any sort of permission.. possibly.. maybe.. I guess not :/ who knows.
Whatever. It's bound to be the most complicated program you've ever seen. Enjoy :/

RadicalEd, thank you so much :D I can finally convert those pesky OGG to WAVE for rencoding the video to avi or other formats like VCD, SVCD or DVD. And your Visual Basic program makes it really easy to use OggDec.

Why not use Winamp 2.x?

I use it to convert mp3/ogg to wav.
