I'm hearing some people say/insist that Orbis takes up more CPU than MP3. Is this true and by how much?

I'd be surprised if there was a machine out there (that still has any components under warranty) that couldn't play Ogg or MP3 files without a hitch. I can't compare MP3 and OGG on any of my machines, since it reports something like 0% CPU utilization for both. Maybe if I save the usage graph as a bitmap, and zoom in? ----- Original Message ----- From: <FSzick@Interplay.com> To: <vorbis@xiph.org> Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2001 1:23 PM Subject: [vorbis] Orbis VS MP3> I'm hearing some people say/insist that Orbis takes up more CPU than MP3. > Is this true and by how much? > > Thanks-Zeek > > --- >8 ---- > List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ > Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ > To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' > containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Minimum hardware for Ogg Vorbis playback is pretty much the same as it is for MP3: any Pentium I class (100MHz or more) machine should do it. Ogg Vorbis decoding speed is not yet fully optimized, so it should become equal to MP3 in the future since technically Ogg Vorbis decoding is not more complex then MP3. --- Aleksandar @ Vorbis Xtreme | http://solair.eunet.yu/~aldov Ogg Vorbis is the free, open source alternative to MP3 --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
