Mausau,

Thank you so much for your plugins to Nero. No problems getting them to work. But I do have a question.

On the Ogg Vorbis plug-in, the settings default to 50. I changed them a couple of times to 69 and they came out the same size as 50.

Now I would like them smaller. Mine come out to be about 1/2 the size of the .ape formatted .wav. Plus about twice the size of a high (not highest), formatted VBR MP3.

What setting is recommended for the Vorbis add-in ?
How is it related to quality. I find the Vorbis much better than MP3.

Thanks,

Jon

@charmoan

you are most likely using a firewall, just disable it before clicking the link and then you'll be okay

Thank you so much Mr. cd-rw.org administrator. I used to have the OOG Vorbis working, but since getting the last two version of Nero, Nero does not find it any more.

I am sorry for my stupidity, but after I download the "OGG Xiph.org Ogg Vorbis View Dec 13 2003 1.0.0.35 View Ogg Vorbis Win32 SDK 1.0.1", I explode the file and load the .dlls for Vorbis as you state with the prefix nx, I do not see a choice for Ogg Vorbis after I select, Extra, Encode in the Nero Burning Rom.
I have done this over and over and it still does not see it. Do you have any suggestions ?

Thanks so much.

Jon
"For Nero version 6, unzip the plugin DLL into "\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\AudioPlugins" directory.
The first two letters of the plugin DLL name must be "nx" in lower case, otherwise it won't be recognized by Nero Burning ROM. "

But when I go to Nero,

I cannot get the plugin I keep getting the no leech page even when logged in. I've even turned off my firewall. Jeeeez, I tried going through links but keep getting the no leech page. Kinda circular. Extremely frustrating. Real shame..

I tried this link from within afterdawn.com. When I try to download a plug-in I get the "leecher" link/message. What's up?
seadzz (Newbie) 2 October 2004 7:09 Send private message to this user   
I too get this error

http://www.afterdawn.com/general/noleech.cfm

There is no way I'm turning off my firewall or adjusting security settings.

You guys need to resolve the issue on your end.

Shewsh!
I'm baffled.
I downloaded the OGG Vorbis SDK and unzipped it. Seems to contain a programming package. I did find a folder with .dll files. I renamed them nx*.* and put them in the Nero audio plugins folder. I opened Nero, chose the Audio CD from the wizard, then NEW, and loaded the 16 OGG files. I got this message:

"Cannot add file ...*.ogg
Reason: the selected WMA file(s)are
protected and cannot be processed."

Any insight? If I blew the installation could someone give me a blow-by-blow install sequence?
Much Appreciated!

i also get the "noleech" message.
too bad, i don't want to turn my firewall off !!!
agunia (Newbie) 21 December 2004 11:14 Send private message to this user   
I did it and it works! First you must enable Antivirus and than "Extract to":
C:\Program Files\Ahead\Shared\AudioPlugins in case of Nero 5
or
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\AudioPlugins with Nero 6

Then you can just check if it works in: File/Preferences/Plugins. Good luck!

Hi,

Great package - much better than using the Nero plugins!

I notice the current version of LAME is 3.96.1 but the version with these plugins is 3.93.1. Is there any advantage to using the newer version and if so, can I just overwrite the files with the ones from the lame package?

i toured app. six-seven times between http://neroplugins.cd-rw.org/ and http://www.afterdawn.com/general/noleech.cfm even after i've registered. and everytime i ended up here, and still you want me to toy with my firewall settings and all. i've never had problems with downloading anything before, so there's nothing to show me you're a bunch of schemers. sorry.

i meant nothing more than a bunch of schemers... no way i'm deactivating my firewall.

I've tried a bunch of times downloading the flac plugin for Nero from here. I too have had 0 luck in getting it. Is there another website that I can get this from, since it's never going to happen here?

I just downloaded the plugin from the site mentioned in the link... no problems.

Wow! The original thread goes back a long way (May 5th, 2003). I hope someone still finds this post helpful...

Just like ripsteen, I too downloaded an album encoded in the .MPC format. And just like ripsteen, I too wanted to re-encode it and burn it to CD using Nero.

After looking through the net for a MusePack plugin for my Nero application, I came across this FREE download of Nero Mega Plugin Pack v1.0 at www.Softpedia.com:

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Video/Codec-Packs-Video-Codecs/Nero-Mega-Plugin-Pack.shtml

Let me tell you folks, this plugin pack is absolutely awesome! It contains the MusePack (.mpc) decoder/encoder plugin as well as several other great codecs.

(By the way, did a mention it was a FREE download.)

Once the file has been downloaded, the installation is as simple as double-clicking on the installer package and choosing the installation directory. By default, the installation package will install to the C:Program FilesAheadNero directory--where the older versions of Nero used to store the audio plugins--but my Nero v6.6.0.14 keeps all its audio plugins stored in the C:Program FilesCommon FilesAheadAudioPlugins directory.

My version of Nero automatically detected the codecsplugins regardless into which directory I installed the codecs--I tried both approches.

Anyway...I hope this information helps.

PEACE!

WARNING

The Nero mega plugin pack causes memory reference errors in Nero Wave Editor on BOTH Windows XP machines I have tried it on. And the errors go away when I remove the pack. The softpedia link for the "developers" goes nowhere. Suspicious, eh?

FYI - if you don't know - a memory reference error means you get an error message upon closing - for instance Nero Wave Editor with any open file - that says

The instruction at "0x0... referenced memory location "0x0..." The location could not be read. Click Ok to close the program.

And uh, yeah, I have checked my memory which is just fine, my system is free of viruses and spyware, and I downloaded and re-downloaded just ot be sure. I have plenty of ram - 768 megs - and plenty of virtual memory, my system runs fine with several open apps that are memory intensive. I reinstall the pack, the error comes back. I uninstall the pack, it goes away - on BOTH machines I have tried it on. It must be buggy and causes a memory overload somehow.

I suggest you download just the codecs you actually need - it took me two days of searching the net and experimenting to figure out that the Nero mega plugin pack was what was causing it.

SKIP the Nero mega plugin pack if you know what's good for you.

And if you're the developer - pull it until you fix the damn thing.
