22LAME library. It adds DirectShow interface to the library and two
23property pages so you can tune some encoding parameters.

48TROUBLESHOOTING FAQ:
49Q. When trying to open a workspace file (.dsw), I get an "empty" workspace
50(i.e. there are no source files listed) and/or when trying to open a project
51file (.dsp), I get a "This makefile was not generated by Developer Studio"
52error.
53
54A. Often, this can be caused by having UNIX line breaks (LF) in the
55.dsw and .dsp files, as opposed to Windows line breaks (CR\LF). It
56is interesting to note that .dsw and .dsp files are just text files;
57you can open them up in any text editor. If you open the .dsw and
58.dsp files in a text editor that can't handle UNIX line breaks
59(namely Notepad) you will probably see big, black squares at
60the end of lines. You can "fix" this error by following this procedure.
61
621) Do NOT let Microsoft Visual C++ attempt to fix the problem! Press "No" when prompted.
63
642) Open the .dsw and .dsp files in a text editor that understands UNIX line breaks.
65WordPad is one and it is available with most copies of Windows.
66
673) Once open, simply re-save the file (In WordPad, make sure you set the Save
68As type to "Text Document"). All UNIX line breaks should then be automatically
69converted to Windows line breaks.
