Creating WAV file with the MPEG 3 Layer Format - Need Help! -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Creating WAV file with the MPEG 3 Layer Format - Need Help! Posted by: rcpilot Date:9/23/2002 5:07:49 AM How do I create a WAV file with a MPEG Layer 3 format? I am trying to use Sound Forge 6.0b. I do not see this option under Microsoft .WAV, but I do see it under Scotts Studio Wave. But if I select this option under the customs select. It still uses the PCM format. I know this can be done somehow. Because I have seen other audio files on the internet that are .wav files with the MPEG Layer 3 format. So can someone please tell me how to set this up to work with Sound Forge 6.0b. Thanks, Mike

"Format" MPEG Layer-3. Possibly Forge doesn't provide the codec with the app. but finds it on your system. WMP 7.1 and later will auto download necessary codecs when you attempt to play a file that uses a codec not on the box. Windows Sound Recorder has this codec with it. I had to reinstall this codec myself some time ago and forgot where I got it, possibly at the MS Downloads site or you can try here if you don't have it. http://www.nwlink.com/~zachd/pss/pss.html There is a codec section there, this site is provided by one of the WMP developers.
