Title: ISO: .omg --> .wav converter
Post by: Carter41 on February 09, 2005, 11:32:16 PM
I just got back from a concert that I stealthed with my Sony MiniDisc recorder (MZ-NHF800). Anywho, I've never recorded with it before. When I import the files, they are imported as ".omg" files. I was wondering if there was any way that I could convert the .omg file to a .wav file. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I imported the files with SonicStage (the software that came with the minidisc recorder). From there, the only other thing that can read a .omg file is Windows Media Player, which is odd because WMP usually sucks.

i know how to convert omg to wav, go to the sony web site and update your sonic stage software to version 2.1, you can then download a wav converter from the support page,then just download a wav to mp3 converter and it is done, its a bit long winded but its the only way i know at the moment. ps you have to register with sony web site but it costs you nothing not even for the downloads ok mate. i hope this has helped you.

Before Download - verify SonicStage v2.1 or higher is installed

Hmmmm.....it says that it only supports OMA files. I tried, and it won't read the OMG files. Thanks though. I'll figure something out.

is this a hi-md recorder?  i think there might be a non sony program out that will convert the file, but i'm not for sure.  seems like i remember this discussion before, but can't remember off the top of my head.

Yes, use either Sony Wav Renderer or Marcnet's HiMDRenderer. But HiMDRenderer support more types of files (including those recorded digital-in). And upgrade SonicStage at least to 2.1. (2.3 is reported to be more stable).
Edit:
If you try to upload a large PCM from your HiMD to your PC with SonicStage, this can freeze your PC for a period of time ... Split in several tracks on the HiMD before uploading, this should go more smoothly.
