Help with a python/ c++ converting program

[Guest]

I needed a program to convert .adf files to .mp3 and nothing worked. Then i found 2 codes and thought that they might work, but i have no idea how to get them running. The first one is python (2.0 i think) 

And when running it just flashes a black console and then closes. When opening in visual studio code i still cant get it to work...

I want to do the proccess, because i like the gta VC radios and would like to convert to mp3 myself, because youtube loses a lot of quality.

Spoiler

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import os

def adf2mp3(input_path, output_path, buffer_size=1024*1024):
    print 'Converting', output_path
    input_file = open(input_path, 'rb')
    output_file = open(output_path, 'wb')
    for read_buffer in iter(lambda: input_file.read(buffer_size), ''):
        output_buffer = (chr(ord(b) ^ 0x22) for b in read_buffer)
        output_file.writelines(output_buffer)
        sys.stdout.write('.')
        sys.stdout.flush()
    input_file.close()
    output_file.close()
    print '[Done]'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    if len(sys.argv) <= 1:
        print 'Usage: %s filename.adf' % sys.argv[0]
        sys.exit(1)
    adf_file = sys.argv[1]
    mp3_file = os.path.splitext(adf_file)[0].lower() + '.mp3'
    adf2mp3(adf_file, mp3_file)

 

The next one is c++.

That i cant get it to work also... I opened it in VS code, saved as a c++ file, and it doesnt open also.

If you have any idea how to help, please to.

The proccess should look like this.  FLASH.ADF ----> Flash.mp3

The code will work. It takes two arguments after the script the first is the path to the set file and the second is the output  file.

 

Edit:

It just takes 1 arg and that's the input file. Move the adf file in the same folder as the script and run 

 

 

python scriptname.py thefile.adf

Still nothing happens.

Do i need to name the files and folder something specific too, or how does this work?

Say you had the adf file in c:\my file.adf then to use that file you would put

 

Python theScriptName.py c:\my file.adf

Try “python” (without the capital P)
