This reply is a little belated, and you have not replied to Marshall Heartley's answer.... Have you tried compliing from source? Is that what you mean when you say you tried the "tar.gz" files? I was originally thinking that it was a architecture issue, but you state you have a Duron (i.e., i686) CPU, so it can't be that. Try compiling from source, or trying someone else's RPMs. If that doesn't fix it, post back (I have something in the back of my mind). On Thursday 21 November 2002 07:36, Nik wrote:
Hi,
I'm having a really hard time trying to encode ogg files. Whenever I use oggenc the whole machine completely freezes. I have tried oggenc both as a user and root with the same results. If i do something like: oggenc -q 5 track5.wav -o track5.ogg , it starts off fine, but always freezes the machine after a couple of seconds. After rebooting the machine, I have noticed that the track5.ogg output file has never been created. I have tried using the rpms off the CD, the rpms from vorbis.com and the .tar.gz files from vorbis.com, but get the same result all the time. I have also tried using oggenc via other apps, eg: Grip, abcde, ripit etc, but the same thing happens every time. Incedentaly, the other ogg tools seem to work fine, eg ogginfo The really annoying thing is that I had this working fine a couple of weeks ago, but I reinstalled SuSE and now it won't work. I have even tried changing the acpi and apm options in grub, and also using the failsafe option in grub, but no change My system: SuSE 8.1 oggenc 1.0 (CD version) /dev/hda3 9.0G 4.0G 5.1G 45% / /dev/hdb1 38G 4.3G 33G 12% /data Duron 1200, 256 MB
I can't find anything on google about complete system freezes from oggenc, so if someone has even the vaguest idea about what could be wrong, I'd be very grateful.
