Or is there anywhere to download pre-built versions of the AAF libraries and utility apps?

I know this is an old discussion but I'm also looking for an AAF to OMF converter (to run on Windows). I don't have the AAF source code to hand these days (although it'll be backed up okay) but I've a vague memory of a small command line utility. Is it downloadable from anywhere (to save me having to trawl through all the code again?

Hi Ron - I ended up ditching AAFBasicInterpolators.vcxproj and creating a new (empty) project. Since then I've been painstakingly copying all the settings from the original version. Up to now, everything is compiling and linking okay but I've still got quite a few settings to copy over. That's interesting about ssrw_c.lib. I know from past experience that trying to mix-and-match libraries from different versions of MSVC is fraught with problems. You can get away with it (sometimes) if you need to...

I'm trying to build the AAF library (v1.1.6) using Visual Studio 2015. I can build it okay with VS2005 but when I try the VS2015 solution, only the Debug targets build okay. For both Release targets (32-bit and 64-bit) the linker quits unexpectedly when it tries to build AAFBasicInterpolators - giving me this error:- error MSB4018: The "Link" task failed unexpectedly. 1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(638,5): error MSB4018: System.NullReferenceException:...

The cracks start to show once you remove the "visual" element. For use in a purely audio environment, AAF is weak as a transfer format - one specific problem being that it never supported MIDI (even though MIDI was part of the original spec IIRC). There are other problems too - such as the fact that overlapping audio isn't supported very...

Interesting... when I tried building with VS2015 Community Edition, AAFBasicInterpolators...

Gosh, that's a shame! A git repo would surely be useful to you developers? Anyway......
