QuickTime-compressed images not supported.Compressed resources are not supported.Other audio editors may have incomplete support for old AIFF-C codecs. In order to make it work, you need to download a copy appropriate for your hardware and operating system, have handy a copy of the Mac operating system (versions 7.5.2 through 9.0.4 and not a copy that’s tied.
You’ll have good results with ffmpeg or Audacity. SheepShaver is an open source project designed to emulate Power Mac hardware with versions for Mac OS X, Linux, Windows, and more. This means that, for further processing, you’ll need to use software that supports the codec used in the original resource. The sample stream inside the AIFF-C file is a verbatim copy of the snd resource’s sample stream, keeping the original codec intact. Note on AIFF-C filesĪIFF-C files produced by rsrcdump are 1-to-1 conversions of the snd resources. This is useful if your resource type names contain non-ASCII characters. You can also pass a “URL-encoded” version of the resource type name: -i %53%54%52%20 is equivalent to -i STR. So, passing STR will be interpreted as STR. Note that if the resource types that you pass have less than 4 characters, they will be padded with spaces. Rsrcdump.sh "Bloodsuckers 2.0.1.rsrc " -i STR -i icl8 Get Mighty Mike.zip from Pangea Software, and unzip it. So, on macOS, let's try to extract the music from Mighty Mike.
This yields a “naked” resource fork (not encapsulated in an AppleDouble file), so you must tell rsrcdump about it with the -no-adf switch. They can be accessed by appending /.namedfork/rsrc to a filename. On modern versions of macOS, resource forks still exist.
