This library is a Microsoft(R) DirectShow(R) wrapper filter for 
LAME library. It adds DirectShow interface to the library and two
property pages so you can tune some encoding parameters.

We are interested to hear from you, when you use this package
as part of another project.

TROUBLESHOOTING FAQ:
Q. When trying to open a workspace file (.dsw), I get an "empty" workspace
(i.e. there are no source files listed) and/or when trying to open a project
file (.dsp), I get a "This makefile was not generated by Developer Studio" 
error.

A. Often, this can be caused by having UNIX line breaks (LF) in the 
.dsw and .dsp files, as opposed to Windows line breaks (CR\LF). It 
is interesting to note that .dsw and .dsp files are just text files; 
you can open them up in any text editor. If you open the .dsw and 
.dsp files in a text editor that can't handle UNIX line breaks 
(namely Notepad) you will probably see big, black squares at 
the end of lines. You can "fix" this error by following this procedure.

1) Do NOT let Microsoft Visual C++ attempt to fix the problem! Press "No" when prompted.

2) Open the .dsw and .dsp files in a text editor that understands UNIX line breaks. 
WordPad is one and it is available with most copies of Windows.

3) Once open, simply re-save the file (In WordPad, make sure you set the Save 
As type to "Text Document"). All UNIX line breaks should then be automatically
converted to Windows line breaks.
