Converting UGG files from Rode Wireless Go II transmitters (uncompressed recordings) to WAV format

Story

I backuped the .ugg and .egg files from the Wireless Go II transmitters before next recording and I needed to export audio from those files. It was not possible to copy it back to the TX to let it export in the Rode Central app (the error is something like the usb mass storage device is protected).

The possible solution is to contact Rode customer service and support, upload the files to Wetransfer, send the link and they converted the files to WAV in approx 24hours.

I wanted to be able to do it by myself but there was no existing solution. So I looked into the UGG file and I spotted the 'OggS' - but unfortunately the format of the UGG file doesn't conform really the Ogg file specification (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg#Page_structure) but after some effort comparing the converted WAV file and the original UGG file and some trial and error I was able to extract the 24bit PCM data from the files and save it to WAV file

USAGE

Python is needed, and installing the wave library (pip install wave)

then convert the files with python ugg2wav.py REC00032.UGG

Enjoy! :)

    Hi

    Very useful tool thanks loads for making this!

    I had quite a lot of trouble getting it to work at first for me on MacOS. I finally figured out that I need to use Python 3 for it to work, which on MacOS looks like:

    python3 ugg2wav.py REC00032.UGG

    This may be me being stupid, I know very little about Python, but I thought it might be worth mentioning in case others have the same issue

    NOOB Q - pip install wave

    Hi, first all, thanks for developing this. I can't wait to try it out. Currently shooting a doc and love the WGII's but the workflow is brutal. I record everything to the packs uncompressed, so I'm assuming with will work - especially with the rename wrapper.

    I'm a photographer and filmmaker - don't know s##t about coding, and I'm having issues running the pip install wave command.

    I installed python3 (Mac) and have tried it like this (without the hyphens):

    -python3> pip install wave-

    and

    python3 pip install wave

    Also with W on wave upper case.

    If you could steer me in the right direction of what I'm doing wrong, I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Aslo ---

    What's with the .egg files? Are these similar to the .pkf's that Adobe Audition exports alongside a wave, or a .xml file?

    Thanks again!

    Just awesome hahaha

    I'm a real noob when it comes to Github but just wanted to thank you for the fix! It's awesome!

    By the way; right now I can only access the storage on my Android device. If I use Win or Mac to access the storage it doesn't work. Is there a way to bypass the accessing issues on Windows?

    Thanks again for the effort!

  • wrapper bash script for converting multiple files...

    wrapper bash script for converting multiple files...

    Thanks for the useful tool!

    I made a quick bash wrapper script for your python script so I can easily run it in a directory to convert multiple files that have not already been converted.

    The contents of the ugg2wawv.sh script are...

    #!/bin/bash
ls -1 *REC*.UGG *REC*.wav | sed 's;.wav;;gi' | uniq -u | xargs -L1 python3 ~/bin/ugg2wav.py

    I realize a weakness of the default Rode file naming scheme is that blindly copying recording files from multiple transmitter devices into the same directory may cause collisions. So it's probably best to copy each device's recordings to different directories.

    A simple idea for enhancing your script might be to generate an md5 hash of the original file to append into the output wav filename. Any that's probably still overkill for anyone that made it this far :D
