Veblin, Your adding the additional .cook3260.dll to Codecs under Real, My Streambox Ripper is now fully Functional! Thanks so much for the great tip! Mattmin (PS Your tip is below in case any of you techheads missed it!) New versions of RealPlayer have been released, RealPlayer v10+. After installing RealPlayer v10+, StreamBox Ripper will no longer be able to convert files. StreamBox Ripper may show this error message. Decoding of the file requires external codec. Please download & install G2 Player (www.real.com) codec info (cook) StreamBox Ripper needs the codec cook3260.dll Cooker G2 Audio Codec for RealAudio(tm) (32-bit). Previous versions of RealPlayer or RealOne Player had this codec. RealPlayer 10 also has this codec, but it is named cook.dll so StreamBox Ripper cannot find it. Solution. Open folder. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Codecs Right click on cook.dll and select Copy. Then right click in that same folder and select Paste. You will then have a file named Copy of cook.dll Right click on Copy of cook.dll and select Rename. Rename the file cook3260.dll You will then have this codec named both ways. cook.dll This is the one that RealPlayer 10 will use. cook3260.dll This is the one that StreamBox Ripper will use to convert files to .mp3, .wav, .wma.
Was just wondering -- Presently I'm using RealPlayer 8 Basic. I want to convert some real audio files (to Wav)using StreamboxRipper 2009. Should I just go ahead or would there be any advantage of upgrading + following the steps outlined above? Thanks.
You may download Streambox Ripper at any of these Kazillions sites! http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=streambox+ripper+downloads
I was having trouble with rm & ra files, SBox Ripper v2.009 wasn't coping. Once I'd followed the cook.dll instructions above everything worked perfectly. Thanks for the advice.
