Hello,
I have found "everything", a respective 64bit version of VD, Lame 2.99.5, AC3 ACM, AAC ACM, XViD and x264vfw. And also MANY instructions how to install LameACM (x86) on a 64bit machine. But I am looking for a 64bit version of the LameACM codec so I finally can switch from the 32bit version of VD to the 64bit version.
I find it very strange that there are so many codecs and plugins available from fccHandler, but no LameACM codec. Because I'm sure, if there was there would certainly be a 32bit AND a 64bit version included as there is in AC3 ACM and AAC ACM.
So my question simply is: Why? Why is there no LameACM x64 codec? [At least I didn't find one]
There must be some special reason. I'm sure, I'm not the only one looking for it (and wanting/needing it). And I'm quite sure it's not more difficult for the people that were able to compile the other ACM codecs in a 64bit version to also compile a 64bit version of the LameACM codec.
Can anyone solve that mystery for me?
Thanks.
Mike |

It's in my sig, it can install the 32bit and 64bit acm Lame (on a 32bit OS it'll only install the 32bit acm of course)

Thanks, I've seen that one just before I posted. But it only says Lame, nothing about ACM. Also it's from dropbox, no widespread, "offical" download. So I haven't tried it yet. I don't want to mess my current codec setup by executing some unknown installer from some unknown source.
Also there's no readme file that would explain the difference between the two installer files included in the .zip file. Because the screen of the installer says the same for both ("Welcome to the Lame x64 x32 Setup Wizard" and "This will install 1.0.0.0 on your computer") even though the file sizes and dates are different (~965kb vs. 1,1mb; 18.12.2012 vs. 17.01.2010) and the details of the properties in Windows Explorer as well. Also there's no version number. I'd be looking for lame ACM 3.99.5.
I think Lame ACM should be popular enough to be found somewhere more official. |

The 2 files in there were a mistake (forgot to delete the old one) - that's been corrected now
Thanks for pointing it out
The one with the newest date is the right one
The name changed, just to keep it more in line with other installers I have
It's the official releases, but with an installer I put together because almost no one can seem to install it on a 64 bit os
They always have problems with regsvr32 etc, the wrong os paths 32/64 bit etc blah blah blah
So the installer just extracts the official acm codecs to temp, and then runs regsvr32 on them (the 64 and 32 bit regsvr) and makes sure it's being installed as admin, so you actually get the files installed
It's on dropbox, because that's just where I keep all my crud :-)
And you're right, finding it is a pain
....and seeing how I couldn't immediately see it on google here are the two separate sets of files (without installer)

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17024916/MyUploade...20x86%20acm.zip
Contains
Lame_acm.xml
lameacm.acm
lameacm.inf
version 3.97 iirc

Thanks for the effort.
The x64 .acm file seems 3 years older and also smaller (x64 versions are usually larger as I recall), so I guess the x64 file is an older version.
I just tested the files on my W8 test machine. The x86 codec is version 3.98.4, the x64 codec is version 3.97 beta 1.
Well, I guess I have to learn how to compile and try to compile the latest version of lame for 64bit programs. |

That's pretty much why I started to learn C++ after avoiding it like the plague
And now I have my own custom Virtualdub that does all sorts of weird and bizarre things 
Best of luck to you in your new quest
Oh and happy new year as well
(what the heck am I dong on the pc at 6am 1st jan.........)

Happy New Year to you, too.
Well, I'll try to learn C++ then... :-) |
