[Vorbis-dev] Question about changing default metric for codebooks
I wanted to try improving the compression efficiency of libvorbis by specifying a new metric used in generating the codebooks. I'm not sure how to compile new codebook entries in the vq directory. I'm guessing you do something to the '.vqs' files to get the codebook '.h' files that replace the ones in the libvorbis 'books' directory. Also, I was wondering how those '.h' files were generated, were the trained on audio data? If so, is that audio training data available? I would like to rebuild these codebook files exactly as they were but using a new metric (instead of the default Euclidean metric) and compare the results. Any information, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tony
