Hi, Does anyone know if Asterisk is a good tool to be used for a large quantity of g711 and g729 transcoding? What is the best alternative for that? -- Woody Dickson woodydickson at gmail.com <woody.dickson at gmail.com> US and Worldwide Termination ============ Contact me for the following offering =========== USA Onnet - 0.0049/min USA Offnet - 0.011/min USA Mobile starting from 0.001/min USA All NPANXX starting from 0.001/min USA Conference - 0.011/min India mobile - 0.0105/min China CLI - 0.0099/min China Non-CLI - 0.0057/min UK Mobile - 0.0565/min US Dialer - 0.007/min Canada Dialer - 0.0035/min UK Dialer - 0.0067/min -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Transcoding is a fairly CPU-bound process. In principle, the answer to your question is probably more yes than no, because if Asterisk in userspace is not sufficient, there exists a wealth of Asterisk-oriented dedicated transcoding hardware from the usual suspects. -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems LLC 260 Peachtree Street NW Suite 2200 Atlanta, GA 30303 Tel: +1-678-954-0670 Fax: +1-404-961-1892 Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/
