SHN to Zen Vision: Convert SHN(Shorten Audio) video to Zen Vision with River Past Crazi Video
What is
SHN?
Shorten (extension .shn)
is an audio compression scheme written by Tony Robinson of SoftSound that can
compact wav files without subtracting out any frequencies. It's "lossless"-
everything in the original wav is there, so that full quality is maintained.
For many traders of live music, Shorten files (shns) therefore have an undisputed
advantage over "lossy" mp3-format files. A shn file made from a wav
is quite a bit larger than the corresponding mp3, with a size perhaps ~50-70%
of the orginal wav.
To convert SHN audio to other formats, please have SHN
DirectShow Filter installed.
