All social media applications now include the feature on their respective platforms. Consumer behavior has evolved, evident in the trends of OTT video subscription and the rapid uptake of live streaming. The processing demands from high quality video applications have pushed limits for broadcast and telecommunication networks. As of July 2019 Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal, Volta and Turing generation GPUs support hardware encoding, and Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal, Volta and Turing generation GPUs support hardware decoding. What params should I use to try and get the same WAV format as the original? Mind you, -ar, -ac and bits aren't the important parts.All NVIDIA GPUs starting with the Kepler generation support fully-accelerated hardware video encoding, and all GPUs starting with Fermi generation support fully-accelerated hardware video decoding. ffprobe shows that the ffmpeg version has some Metadata which the original doesn't have. The ffmpeg version does not play in the game. So why not ffmpeg? Am I using the wrong codec or params? I took an original sound file from the game and performed the following: ffmpeg -i 'orig_thrmlpu2.wav' -f wav -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 22050 -ac 1 'ffmpeg_thrmlpu2.wav'

But it can play a WAV file created by Audacity, GoldWave or ModPlug Tracker to name a few. Speculation was that it added something extra to header or something. Except for that if one were to create a WAV file using MS Sound Recorder, Jedi Knight could not play it. Jedi Knight accepts plain old PCM WAV files of various ranges, from 5khz to 96khz, 8 and 16 bit, mono and stereo.

The problem I'm having is that ffmpeg seems to be doing something that does so that Jedi Knight can't play the sound file. I'm looking to batch convert a number of files to audio files using ffmpeg for a game called Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II.
