<h3>LameXP - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)</h3><br>
|
||||
|
||||
<b>What is LameXP ???</b><br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
LameXP is a graphical user-interface for a number of audio encoders. It was developed to support a huge<br>
|
||||
number of input formats. File formats are detected reliably using MediaInfo. Compressed audio formats are<br>
|
||||
decoded to uncompressed Wave files using suitable CLI audio decoders. Furthermore LameXP allows batch<br>
|
||||
processing of multiple audio files. Multithreading is implemented by processing several audio files<br>
|
||||
concurrently. All the third-party tools incorporated in LameXP are listed in the "About" dialog. The Nero AAC<br>
|
||||
encoder cannot be redistribited due to licensing issues; it is availabel as a free download from the public<br>
|
||||
Nero web-site. Note: LameXP does NOT use/need any "external" audio decoders. It neither requires nor supports<br>
|
||||
any ACM Codecs or DirectShow/DMO filters! And it will NOT install anything of that kind on your system.<br><br>
|
||||
|
||||

<b>My anti-virus software detected a potential threat in LameXP. Why is that?</b><br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Occasionally your anti-virus program may mistakenly detect "malware" (virus, trojan, worm, etc.) in some of<br>
|
||||
the files here. This is called a "false-positive" and the files are actually innocent/clean. It's an error in<br>
|
||||
your specific Antivirus software. In case you encounter such problems, goto <a href="http://www.virustotal.com/" target="_blank">http://www.virustotal.com/</a> and<br>
|
||||
check the file again with multiple Antivirus engines! And take care with results like "suspicious", "generic"<br>
|
||||
or "packed". Those are *not* real hits, they are just wild speculation.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Apparently Antivirus programs tend to suspect installers/uninstaller created with NSIS. Furthermore some<br>
|
||||
anti-virus programs blindly suspect all UPX´d (packed) executables of being malware. Obviously this is a<br>
|
||||
stupid generalization, so please ignore those warnings! Last but not least: Always keep in mind that this is<br>
|
||||
OpenSource software! If you don´t trust the people providing the pre-compiled binaries, download the source<br>
|
||||
codes and compile them yourself.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
DON'T SUBMIT ANY VIRUS REPORTS, UNLESS YOU HAVE VERIFIED THE INFECTION WITH MULTIPLE ANTI-VIRUS ENGNINES!<br><br>

uses a number of thrird-party tools, which have been created by the individual authors. Moreover various<br>

||||
people have contributed LameXP translations. Please see the "About" dialog for details!<br><br>

<b>What are the prerequisites to build LameXP from the sources?</b><br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
LameXP is currently being developed using the following build environment:<br><ul>
|

|
||||
<li>Qt libraries v4.7.1 for Windows (VS 2008)
|
||||
<li>Microsoft Windows SDK v7.1</ul>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Also note the following hints:<br><ul>
|
||||
<li>You must launch Visual Studio using "qtvars.bat vsstart" in order to enable the Qt tools
|
||||
<li>The Microsoft Windows SDK v6.0A should work as well, with a few limitations
|
||||
<li>In order to make a fully "static" build of LameXP, you need to compile Qt as static libraries
|
||||
<li>Support for the GNU Toolchain (GCC/MinGW + Make) is planned for a future version</ul>
