G726 codec support with .wav files

Started by Aditi Akula February 3, 2010
Hi All,

I want to play G726 (16 kbps) encoded data with Windows Media Player (WMP).
I have modified the normal wave header to allow for the G726 code (0x0045).
But it does not allow me.

It says "One or more codecs required to play the file". I tried
downloading "Sharp G.726 codec" and installed it. Still it doesn't work
with WMP.

Do we have to add any extra portion to the WAVE header for non-PCM formats
( I found a link for the mu-law format). If so, could some one tell me
the header portion
for G726.

Could you tell me which G726 codec download works well with WMP?
And also which file compression code (Format tag number) does the G726 use?

Thank you,
Aditi.
