Hi everyone, My name is Tord Jansson and I'm the creator of BladeEnc. I'm very delighted to see that someone has created an open and patent-free sound format which seems to have the qualifications to be on par (or beat) even the best proprietary formats. Congratulations to everyone involved! I would like to help making Vorbis a popular format for compressed a...

Hi all, I've just posted another version of vorb_enc.dll (w/source code) at http://xtractor.sourceforge.net/vorbdll-20000626.zip It will still work as a drop-in replacement for bladeenc.dll (just rename the files that your ripper creates from MP3 to OGG), but will also accept info for the ogg comment header in the vorb struct in the format union of the BE_CONFIG struct. I'll be releasing an updated version of my ripper that uses the DLL tomorrow. -Andy __________________...

Hi, I released a BladeEnc-style wrapper for the Ogg Vorbis 1.0 codec which works with my CD ripper ACXtractor. You can download it from http://www.marvintec.com/en_download.htm Many thanks for all this great work ;-) <p>Best regards Stefan Schulz/ MarvinTec mailto:support@marvintec.com http://www.marvintec.com ht...

I've put together a first cut for a Win32 DLL using the BladeEnc interface. Right now, it's just a drop-in replacement for BladeEnc.dll that ignores all encoding parameters passed to it and uses the info_A vorbis_info struct (same as the encoder_example). It's not particularly useful as of yet, but you can rename it to BladeEnc.dll and use it with...

...ple to 32000 before encoding, but that didnt work either. Do any of you convert your .wav files to mp3? Monitor call: Monitor(wav|test) 'file' output: test.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 8000 Hz Sox resample: sox test.wav -r 32000 newtest.wav Bladeenc call: bladeenc newtest.wav newtest.mp3 mpg123 newtest.mp3 # sounds like Im listening in fast-forward mode...

I'll be out for the next 3 weeks, away from a net connection. So anyone who wants to improve my Vorbis Tools package, please do because I am not, and send any patches to Monty or somebody else with commit access. Have fun, Kenneth --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/

...g to help in this department. I am a maintainer of one of the freeware implementations of the Message passing Interface (MPI) -- LAM/MPI. As such, I know a bit about parallel programming, both with threads and with MPI. Indeed, several months ago I did a naieve implemenation of parallelizing the bladeenc MP3 encoder (bladeenc was the first encoder that I found in a web search). I don't claim to understand much of the MP3 process (indeed, one of the assumptions that I used about the MP3 encoding process in parallelizing bladeenc turned out later to be false. Oops. :-), but the parallelism does...

As far as I can see, transcoding could be usefull for people who do not primarly care about quality but about filesizes. One could assume that such a user would have a collection of mp3's at 128kbps or higher bitrates, and uses an encoder like BladeEnc or Xing. He wants to take uses of ogg's supposed quality and transcode his 128-or-higher files into 96 or 112kbps oggs to save diskspace. Even if he realizes it will only lower quality, it will gain him/her diskspace. We know that transcoding will introduce errors, but it is interesting to che...

In all the abx'ing and ear testing I've done in the past for my classical and jazz music I have never seen or heard bladeenc output worse than xing. (worse than lame, yes) Now, to sorta keep this ON topic. I have never heard a an xing, blade OR lame encoded mp3 sound better than a Garf tuned RC2 encode of my Jazz and Classical stuff, (not a large sample set). Also, I haven't used blade, lame or xing since RC3 was...

I'd like to write a DLL wrapper (BladeEnc/lame_enc style) for libvorbis. I pulled down the CVS tree today, and with very slight changes (missing typedefs for int64_t, int16_t, etc...) got it to build using gcc 2.95.2 in Win95. Unfortunately, the encoder_example segfaults. I get the same results from Cygwin as well. On a linux box w...

...coder for linux) averaged 6x faster than vorbis. Encoding also was slower by a smaller magnitude (didn't measure, i _think_ 3x slower), but since lame is also the fastest (without assembly optimizations) encoder for linux, it seems natural. I'd assume the encoding time would be similar for bladeenc and encoder_example.

Hi, if it comes to mp3... my 'old' Duron-700 delivers a rip-and-encode performance six (6!) times faster then 'single speed' (bladeEnc 0.94.2). So take the cheapest Duron box available, and you will be happy, for real small money.

Hi, If you check out: http://people.ne.mediaone.net/mjbedy/iamyou.wav You will find a clip that causes an interesting problem with the RC2 encoder. (I have not tried any earlier encoder.) This clip is the first 15 seconds of "I Am You" from Depeche Mode's recent "Exciter" album. It is a quiet passage with a few interesting things going on sonicly. I suggest you

Hi Kovacs, >subj. I can compile the library on vc6, but it seems that it doesn't >export anything. Has somebody similar experience? I've built it using VC6, though I didn't use the project files in the vorbis_vc6 subdirectory, so I can't comment on them. You should be building the library as a static library, and not a DLL -- if you want to build the library as a DLL,

>>You shouldn't do that. Converting mp3 to >>vorbis can ONLY decrease the quality. No doubt the people who want to do this have the sound file in no other usable format. They have no choice. Since MP3 has legal issues, they may very well stand to benefit from such a conversion when there are no alternatives. No need to criticize them for being in this predicament.

Hello, I am interested in recording my LP's from my stereo to my computer and then burning to cd. If I understand right theres no way to save as oog and then burn ? Thanks NewbieMark

...ould be averaged? Or do we have it on higher authority that the psycoacoustics are the best they could be? (I am reminded of Linus Torvalds' announcement for 2.4.0-test2 on l-k back when I was subscribed.) Wow. Not bad. Now gotta try against MP3. Dang, does that mean I have to grab notlame or bladeenc? Darn... I didn't even install them when I reinstalled last, because it seems that I have my audio compression needs taken care of. Back to developer mode: Thanks, Ralph, for the Ogg todo sent a while ago. I've only now got to really studying it and looking at what to do. Looks like video...
