    I'm in a bit of a predicament, hopefully someone here can help me.

    I have a bunch of WAV files. I extracted them from an Xbox game, and they use a codec that no player supports natively, as far as I can tell. Someone reverse engineered the codec and made it available via the internet; I installed it, and I can play the files with MPC-Home Cinema and Windows Media Player.

    The problem is converting these WAV files to a more... compatible format. I don't know if there are any free converters that can use the codecs I have installed on my system. The ones I use (Audacity and fre.ac) keep trying to use their own built-in codecs, so they stop because they can't handle this particular codec.

    So, my question is, is there an audio conversion program that won't use its own built-in codecs, and that will let me use the one I installed?

    Thanks.

    If it's a DirectShow/ACM codec, then you can use Graphstudio to do that job.

    Assuming the audio doesn't have more than 2 channels, just choose the appropriate output filters, namely WavDest and File Writer.

    EDIT: oops, Goldwave should be able to do the job as well.

    EDIT 2: if it's an ACM codec, I think Winamp can handle it too.

    I tried Winamp, it couldn't handle it. Maybe earlier versions used ACM codecs but the latest version doesn't seem to anymore.

    I'll give the other two tools a shot. Thanks.

    Well, neither of them worked. Graphstudio and Goldwave can't open the files. I tried Wavosaur, nope. ACM Converter, nada.

    What the hell is up with these files...?

    You need to provide a sample file.
    Otherwise it's guesswork.

    ... you know what, never mind. I just found out that FFMPEG supports this format. I'm such an idiot...

    If you still want the sample files so you can do your own tests, lemme know. I've sorted out my issues, at least...

    That's the thing - this format isn't listed in the codecs. I just ran one of the wav files through x-WinFF 1.4.2 with the "WAV for CD" preset for the hell of it and it -worked-. It turned the audio files into normal ADPCM WAVs.

    I did a bit of searching and it appears that someone submitted it to libavcodec. And since FFMPEG uses libavcodec, the conversion went through.

    It surprised the heck outta me. I wasn't expecting it to -work-...

    Here's a few sample files in the original, unconverted format:
    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12145986/Sounds/024.wav
    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12145986/Sounds/257.wav
    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12145986/Sounds/326.wav

    And here's the codec I used to get these to play in MPC-HC:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/ekszbox-abx/files/EkszBox-ABX%20-%20Binary/ (at the top.)

    Thanks for the comments.

    Thanks for the codec, I will install it as soon as I find the time to fix that pesky/crappy/b0rked .INF script

    Sadly dropbox.com is unreachable from here , so I will have to wait

    BUT, FWIW,

    Xbox ADPCM audio codec

    Winamp plugin for playing the audio compressed with the Xbox ADPCM codec.
    Supports wave (tag 0x0069), DAT files (like those extracted with the old versions of my XWB/ZWB files unpacker) and XWB/ZWB/WBA/XSD/XSH archives (seen as an unique audio file and with the automatic skipping of WMA and PCM audio).

    That Winamp plugin doesn't work with these files. It was the first thing I tried.

    I didn't know we could attach files here, thanks for that!

    Thanks for the attachments

    So far, I can open them with ffplay.exe. However my hex editor shows that those .WAVs have incomplete headers, therefore it's no surprise Goldwave disliked them.

    Hmmm... It opens in audacity for me. (As you already figured out ffmpeg can open it, but audacity can be configured to use ffmpeg as well)

    I read that ADPCM IMA is very similar to the Xbox codec, but I didn't think it was that close.

    And I didn't know audacity could use ffmpeg either. I'm not very good at this.

    Pardon me, I need to get a dunce hat...

    Converting WAV files that use non-standard codecs

    If it is a wav file, it is a wav file!!!!!

    No, WAV files can contain audio compressed (or not) with any audio codec.

    Including mp3, dts, ac3 (last two are common when dealing with "surround CDs")...
