CD+G (Karaoke CD) files playback [#21516]

[ajmps]

Hello
I used to be able to play cgd files from within MM (can't remember which version I was using). Can that still be done from MM 2024? CGD files are not starting with the mp3, like it used to.

Thanks

None. I was hoping to stay with MM.
Edit: I tried VLC player and it worked.

Hi,
Can you please open support ticket and send us DL link to few files so that we can investigate.

To be honest in 30+ years in Multimedia/Broadcasting I have never had single CGD Media file.

EDIT: I stand corrected CDG = CD+G (Karaoke CDs), I created several such CDs 20+ years ago, but I have never ever used them. Eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY1kCpsW69o Hav eyou tried converting them to MP4 https://cdg2mp4.com/ (if it works as I do not have CDG for testing)
From What I know FFMpeg can also convert CDG With this commands line:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i %1 -i %2 -pix_fmt yuv420p -vcodec libx264 -acodec copy "%~dpn1.mkv"

Hi,
To remedy my initial lack of knowledge I created https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=21516 for implementation

Hello again, and thanks for the feedback.
I will gladly send you the files. I think you mean some of .cgd files I was referring to. They are usually paired with .mp3 files, and they play simultaneously.
How shall I send them? (Pardon the dumb question)

Hello again.
Done. Ticket #9451: "Playback of CDG (Karaoke CD) Files"
Had to zip the pair, because cgd files were not acepted.
