Black Ops Sound File Tool

What does this do?
This lets you make Black Ops' sound files playable since they do not have a WAV header. However, you cannot play the WAV files still unless your player is packet-based like VLC, however you can convert the files to MP3 or Vorbis through my tool and the sound length wont be retarded

Why is the WAV file length 26 minutes?
That's because the header was designed for use on any Black Ops sound file. Like I said above, converting to MP3 or Vorbis will display the correct audio length.

Does this work on all Black Ops sound files?
No, any sound files with player dialog do not work since they use a different sound codec.

How do I use it?
Run the tool and drag and drop any sound files you would like to fix or convert. You can also drag folders and it will search recursively for valid files. Check 'Convert to MP3' if you want to. Also you can go into Tools > Options and change the audio bitrate or codec (MP3 or Vorbis). Then click 'Fix Header' and let the tool do the rest for you.

Where do I find the game's sound files?
Look inside the main folder inside your game's directory and from there you can browse inside the iwd files by using 7-Zip, WinRAR or Pakscape.
