Convert Open MG files to Ogg/Mp3?

[Unregistered]

Is this really an impossible thing to do?

I stupidly converted all 750+ tracks off the cds I own onto my comp using the Open MG format.

Now I can play these on my MD man,but I wanna be able to play them on my phone,which doesn't recognise the format. Anybody know of a converter?

Also,is it usual to take around 25 mins-30 to fully encode an cd that's around 1 hour long to Ogg format?

Just seems a bit long,but I amn't complaining honest! DBAmp is amazing

Have you tried ripping to WAV just to see how long it takes? The encoding might not be the culprit here because 25-30 minutes really does seem like a long time. What kind of computer you got?

OpenMG being a codec that integrates digital rights management, I'm guessing it might be hard to just transcode it to something else.

I'm running a 2.4 GHZ AMD here for crying out loud!!!

It only seems to be when I'm ripping from cd though,and I've only had time to try out one cd so maybe it was just this once.

Maybe your CD reader can't rip an audio CD higher than say 4x or something. Is slow acurate rip on in the Audio CD Input options? That slows down the process too.

Nah not my D Drive either,16x to 40x.

Although now that you mention that,it never seems to rip from a cd at a speed higher than 5x.

I've never expereinced this problem with any other rippers,strange.

Try ripping to Test Conversion, if the rate is less than x6 then there is a problem, in which case try the Nero drive speed program.

The test conversion ripped at 70x,but still when I rip from a CD it's slow....:(
