[FFmpeg-devel] Cryo APC Files (How to convert WAV files to APC files) ?

Wed Nov 21 13:30:24 EET 2018

It’s based on my work last year to make a lot better version than GOG.
I called it « Perfect Edition » because every single bugs has been fixed by me.
Now we want to get further and get back every not used feature during development of the game.

We also made a « HUB&VISIT MODE » in another branch of the development, it was released few months ago :

It use the hub developped by Cryo during beta and demos versions. Never used in the final release.

So about the Director’s Cut Edition here is our changelog :

Hi,

It’s only for a fan project.
We already almost finish the project but we want to include this music in the game.
Like ffmpeg include the possibility to decode APC files, i ask if someone on ffmpeg development team can include the encoding to APC files into ffmpeg.

The goal of the project is to have a Director’s Cut Edition of the game.
We already include dialogues, cutscenes, lot of bugs fixes that Cryo’s Developpers would at the time include but never included.
The only thing it left is this music.

Best Regards.

Is this for a commercial project or a hobby project?
