DDRII (Wii) (North America) Work Thread

Not entirely sure why OGG was used, in terms of simulators, it should really only be used when it's necessary to have something loop. The momentary silence was already present in the songs' native formats from what I can tell, so there's no benefit over standard MP3. If the goal is file size, then there's still better formats out there than OGG...

You know how sometimes someone will sync an .mp3 for their simfile perfectly, but some people will play the simfile on their computer and it won't be synced even though they have the same global offsets and everything? That doesn't happen with .ogg.

There's also the minor thing about how the compression rate and audio quality is better...

Huh, never heard of that happening, learn something everyday I guess!

I haven't downloaded what's been put out since I've extracted everything myself, but was it just the new Konami Originals uploaded?

Yes, minus the Long Versions.

I guess I'll go ahead and record videos of any long versions I haven't put on YT then, if anyone's interested in ripping MP3s from those.

We also went with OGG for the official files this time round.

You are my hero.

Is it okay if I post a link for mp3 files only for ppl who don't wanna download the sim files?

Why hasn't this been done before? OGG is more compatible with all versions of SM.

imagine all simfiles storage size here including Long versions both licensed and KO (if not all) when each is 320kbps mp3...
plus simfiles for upcoming series with the same quality.

ugh...

This is 2011, storage space is a non-issue.

mixmeister doesn't read oggs.

Neither does iTunes, your point?

Nevermind: Point not found.

I rest my case

1. Download Audacity.
2. Open Audacity.
3. Import OGG into Audacity.
4. Export as MP3.
5. Input into Mixmeister.

It's really hard, isn't it?

I would suggest ripping the bg videos.

They're LQ. HQ versions wouldn't fit on-disc.

What about resizing them? I suggested because some of the songs in the X2 category (like the R-D-A songs) have no bg videos uploaded.

That's not how it works.

He's saying that a video would be better than no video, and he's right.

But the truth is the bemanistyle YouTube videos would look better.
