    Conversion of Directmusic files (*.SGT and *.DLS) to WAV

    Hi,

    This currently tops my wishlist for the next DBPoweramp ... I have a number of game soundtracks encoded in this format and so far found nothing in the internet that would do a 'raw' conversion of the files.

    I can only do ripping via the soundcard output ... has anyone been able to convert the Hitman music to WAV? I'll be most interested in this :D

    Thanks

    I second that... right now, the only way to "convert" them to usable sound files is to play them and record the sound as your soundcard produces it - and that's not very satisfactory (and takes ages, obviously). Even using the id_dm or fice_dm plugins for Winamp and redirecting the output to wav files through their out_disk plugin doesn't work at all. And there is no converter for those formats...

    Hey! I have Final Fantasy VIII for the PC, and it seems that all the songs for the game are on the computer, in the file format .sgt. I'm trying to find a way to play them. Is this possible, or is that what you are trying to find out?

    DMPlayer here can play the music files for you. Take SGT and DLS files of the music you wish to play, put them together and open it with this program(DMPL.exe). Download from this small site.

    I can't read the very small print about the authors/credits on the program's About menu (can't remember where I downloaded it either) .. so if anyone has the author's website .. pls post here.

    sorry for my pour Englisch but i have converted the Hitman .tgt files in mp3
    with the following programms and the quality is good:

    1.Advanced Sound recorder 3.1 and DM-Player 1.11

    start the DM-Player with the ASR. Start the melodie and record it with the ASR at the same time. After the recording click on the browse button and save it.


    (you have to be registred if you want to record more than 50 sec. .
    In this case the site andr.net will help you if you now waht i mean.)

    You can play a file and record the output in any damn program, I used CoolEdit... the problem is a PROPER CONVERSION of DirectMusic to a common format, NOT recording it with artifacts, in a system-dependent way.

    well, if it helps anyone who didn't already know it, www.jesperkyd.com has a couple of the songs he wrote for "Hitman" , "Hitman 2", "Hitman:Contracts" and loads of other games, in Mp3 for free. Loads of it is very good too...everyone, check it out. BUT I THINK I SPEAK FOR ALL OF US HITMAN MUSIC FANS WHEN I SAY "I NEED A CONVERTER FOR THESE FILES"! Sorry, but anybody whose good at writing programs for music conversion? Please?

    Thumbs up Re: Conversion of Directmusic files (*.SGT and *.DLS) to WAV

    There's a software called Nova Software Extractor at

    http://www.volny.cz/nova-software/

    There are OGG vorbis files within the Hitman: Contracts streams.wav file, so only select OGG for extraction. The demo can only extract 30 files (there are 78 ogg files altogether).

    Have fun. :smile2:
