flac dev - Sep 2004 - ACM codec

Hello everyone,

I was just browsing through some video capturing websites/forums and saw some
people complain that there was no lossless codec available to encode audio in
AVI files. I thought that FLAC would have one but it doesn't seem to be the
case.

As it's a popular demand (now that hard drives are inexpensive, people can
record hours of video/audio without any loss and then compress to their
preferred format) I thought I could/should help on this one.

I'm currently working on the ACM version of LAME (MP3 encoder) and since the
code architecture is ready I think it would be quite easy/fast to do the same
job on FLAC.

I saw on the website that the ACM was a work in progress, but have seen no other
mention anywhere else. So if someone is working on that I'm ready to help,
otherwise I'm ready to start it.

Also I could provide the necessary .dsw and .dsp to compile FLAC in Visual
Studio (and which may use the Intel Compiler which is much more efficient on
that kind of subject).

oops, my mistake.  I fixed the wording.

I just read on the FLAC main website, that the MediaXW project contains an
ACM codec and a DirectShow filter. That's not fully true. My project only
contains DirectShow filters for playback and for compression. (Sidenote: for
testing you should either download the snapshot zip package or compile from
source. I haven't made a release with installer yet, because I'm
currently
rewriting my Ogg filters (with Vorbis, FLAC and Video support) and I want
that done before I make a new release.)

Daniel Souza announced to create an ACM driver in the past. Perhaps you
should make a search in the mailinglist archives.

Regards,

Ingo

Yep, I had a look at that and saw some FLAC related code in the CVS. I'll
have a
deeper look (even if it's not CVS).

OK, but where is the Mailing List search engine ? I can browse but not search...
