Using u-law compression for audio files on Windows 7
Question
I need to convert some hi res audio files to u-law compression. I find no documentation on this- I'm almost certain the codec is there on Windows machines, but how the heck do I access it?
Solution
Yes the codec is there, however it is outside of WASAPI. APIs that deal with codecs are:
- Audio Compression Manager
- DirectShow
- Media Foundation
Not sure about the latter, however the first two have the μ-law encoder readily available (the codec itself has ACM interface, and DirectShow offers a wrapper over it).
