Free Command-Line Audio Encoders (for Windows)

Here you can download free, open-source audio encoders for MP3, OGG and AAC music formats. I compiled LAME and Ogg Vorbis tools with MinGW whereas FAAC was compiled by someone (faac-1.28.7z).

• faac.exe 1.28
  
• lame.exe 3.98.3
  
• mpcenc.exe 2009-04-02
  
• oggdec.exe 1.2.0
  
• oggenc.exe 1.2.0
  
• ogginfo.exe 1.2.0
  
• twolame.exe 0.3.12
  
• vorbiscomment.exe 1.2.0

Install MPlayer, Mencoder, MP4Box and Mkvmerge

Download my package of Windows executables, including mencoder and mp4box here.

• MPlayer-svn-r30521-snapshot-3.4.5.zip

I built it using MinGW. The package contains the following programs.

• faac.exe
  
• faad.exe
  
• lame.exe
  
• mencoder.exe
  
• MP4Box.exe
  
• mpcenc.exe
  
• mplayer.exe
  
• normalize.exe
  
• oggdec.exe
  
• oggenc.exe
  
• ogginfo.exe
  
• speexdec.exe
  
• speexenc.exe
  
• twolame.exe
  
• vorbiscomment.exe
  
• x264.exe

It is recommended that you unpack the package into C:\Program Files. If MPlayer and Mencoder were installed in C:\Program Files\MPlayer, start Command Prompt and set PATH to include the MPlayer folder:

PATH "C:\Program Files\MPlayer\bin";%PATH%

Mkvmerge is part of Mkvtoolnix that can be obtained from http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/.
