Ruins of Hell Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 No. You'd have to edit the source code to add DirectShow.If you want, I can move this to the Source section where people can **help** you, not do it for you, complete this task.

Rithy58 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Don't you have to pay the MP3 license?I suggest you don't use mp3 in your game.Sincerely,Rithy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummerpete Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 @gdog12356:> not if I made it, if it is my own mp3, that I made, I dont think I would need to pay myself ;)@Wikipedia:> In September 1998, the Fraunhofer Institute sent a letter to several developers of MP3 software stating that a license was required to "distribute and/or sell decoders and/or encoders". The letter claimed that unlicensed products "infringe the patent rights of Fraunhofer and Thomson. To make, sell and/or distribute products using the [MPEG Layer-3] standard and thus our patents, you need to obtain a license under these patents from us."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3#Licensing_and_patent_issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian666 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 basicly, you have to pay.but for such a small project, with no money gain, its not gonna be a real problem.Dami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummerpete Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 @Dami:> with no money gain, its not gonna be a real problem.It's not a case of making money, it's a case of distribution.Basically, if you distribute so many MP3 files, you need a license.

damian666 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 true, thats why I said you basicly have to pay, but did you ever heard a eclipse dev gotten in trouble with it?no, unless you go proff. and earn money etc, that will attract attention, but yes, in teh end, your right.you do have to buy a license, if ya want to be fair.on another note, im trying to port over the stable soundsystem, since im using EO now too, i miss the mp3 support xdbut i would be better off doing a fresh system anyway xdDami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummerpete Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Plenty of other file formats out there.Just not sure how VB6 copes with other sound formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 @Roberto:> Plenty of other file formats out there.> Just not sure how VB6 copes with other sound formats.>_> Can handle any sound format you want if you have the libraries for it… just like every other language.

damian666 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 just use bass.dll or fmod, then it supports like 20 formats or so xdDami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummerpete Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 @Vitin:> I sincerely don't know why you guys want mp3.Im more than fine with .wav and .midiA WAV is usually a much larger file than an MP3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
