drgplay inputfile
drgconvert inputfile outputfile
A serie of programs that take a .drg file from I-Doser and play it to default sound output or convert to another format.
It can convert a drg file to every output format file supported by SoX. Actually, sox is used to convert.
The authors of this project have nothing to do with I-Doser, I-Doser is a registered trademark.
This project does not supports piracy or any illegal action, the use of this product must be strictly to play .drg files on platforms (notably Linux) that don't have I-Doser to play the drg file.
I-Doser and I-Doser files (.drg) may be acquired at:
This program is a processing chain that can be summarized as follows:
DRG input file → convert DRG into SBG → Convert SBG into RAW audio → system sound output
Example to listen a drg file:
$ drgplay inputfile.drg
Example to convert to ogg:
$ drgconvert inputfile.drg outputfile.ogg
Example to convert drg file to mp3 (only if SoX has support):
$ drgconvert inputfile.drg outputfile.mp3
If SoX doesn't have support to mp3, you can do two things
Recompile SoX with libmad or liblame.
Use another program to convert.
In this case, it's necessary to pass sampĺe frequency of 44100Hz and sample bit rate width of 16.
Lame can be used to do this:
$ drgconvert inputfile.drg - | lame -r -s 44.1 --bitwidth 16 - output.mp3
No options for while.
In order to run, you will need:
A posix machine
Maybe Linux or MacOS.
A shell
Bourne Againt Shell (bash) is a valid choice.
Most major Linux distributions have a shell.
drg2sbg
It transforms .drg file into .sbg file.
You can get it from http://code.google.com/p/drg2sbg/.
sbagen
It transform .sbg file into .raw file.
You can get it from: http://uazu.net/sbagen/.
SoX
It can play and convert raw files to various formats.
Available under most major Linux distributions.
In order to install man page, you will need:
rst2man
Available on python-docutils
In order to checkout the code using shell, you will need:
git
Available under most major Linux distributions.
Install the build requirements in order to compile drg2sbg:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev
Download and unpack drg2sbg (in this example version 1.2.11 will be used):
$ wget http://drg2sbg.googlecode.com/files/drg2sbg-1.2.11.tar.gz $ tar xvzf drg2sbg-1.2.11.tar.gz $ cd drg2sbg-1.2.11/
Configure and compile it:
$ ./configure && make
Install it (under /usr/local/bin):
$ sudo make install
Install the build requiments in order to compile sbagen (already installed if you had installed drg2gen):
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
Download and unpack sbagen (in this example version 1.4.5 will be used):
$ wget http://uazu.net/sbagen/sbagen-1.4.5.tgz $ tar xvzf sbagen-1.4.5.tgz $ cd sbagen-1.4.5/
Compile it:
$ gcc -DT_POSIX -Wall -O3 -s -lm -lpthread sbagen.c -o sbagen
Install it (under /usr/local/bin):
$ sudo cp sbagen /usr/local/bin
SOX is available under ubuntu repositories, just use apt-get:
$ sudo apt-get install sox
python-docutils is available under ubuntu repositories, just use apt-get:
$ sudo apt-get install python-docutils
Checkout last revision of drgplay:
$ git clone http://github.com/iuridiniz/drg-play.git $ cd drg-play
Install it (under /usr/local):
$ sudo ./install.sh /usr/local
- Open Doser
- Another project for the same purpose: http://code.google.com/p/opendoser/
- Free Doser
- Another project for the same purpose: http://www.khattam.info/tag/freedoser/
Plan for 1.0:
- Transform SBaGen and drg2sbg into a lib (each one) (must be GPL libs)
- Provide gstreamer plugins using these libs (must be GPL too)
- gstreamer compatible players and converters may use drg files
- DRGplayer using GTK+ and C (must be GPL)
