# Encoding
manhuntribber encode JOURNO.WAV JOURNO.RIBA WAV-file should be PCM encoded 16-bit stereo 44100 Hz (or mono 22050 Hz in case of mono stream) in order to be encoded to RIB format.
Encoding and decoding mono streams (decode -m) are partially supported.
Generally mono streams are used for music and environmental sounds, but format
of these RIBs not fully discovered.
Project requires any modern C++20 compiler (gcc 10, clang 10, msvc 2019) and cmake.
cmake -B build
cmake --build buildThe file is a stream of samples encoded by a variation of the ADPCM IMA
algorithm (in FFMPEG this algorithm is identified as ADPCM_IMA_QT, but the
implementation differs in detail).
Each of the channels is in turn encoded in an interleave of 0x10000 bytes in
size into frames of 0x400 bytes in size. Thus, in one interleave there are up
to 64 channel frames, encoded by a variation of the ADPCM_IMA_QT algorithm.
The key difference from the original implementation is the storage of data for
encoder initialization: while ADPCM_IMA_QT uses packed storage of predicor
and step_index in a 16-bit value, in the modified algorithm predictor is
stored in the first and second bytes of the frame as 16-bit number
(little-endian), and step_index is in the third byte as an 8-bit number.
The structure is aligned to four bytes, leaving the fourth byte unused and
equal to zero.
If there is fewer data than the frame size at the end of the file, the remaining frame and interleave space remains filled with zeros.
