Hello everyone, ff123 compiled Monty's branch of the RC1 encoder, see his post on r3mix.net forum: http://66.96.216.160/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=c&action=display&num=994299736&start=30 Anyway it only supports ~128kbps mode, so I did a quick listening test with some files that bugged vorbis beta4. grace.wav - the right channel is still a bit watery, and I think this can be seen

I noticed that clipping occurs in lossy audio compression even if there is no clipping in the original file (though the original file has peaks that are just below the maximum). I know that this happens due to all the filtering involved during compression, but I'm wondering just how audible this clipping is because I don't hear anything wrong. I mean, as things are now, is it safe to say

During the interesting interview that binaryfreedom has made with Monty and Jack, Monty mentions cascading, a feature that will be added, quote: "Cascading is the ability to make multiple passes through the frequency spectrum, iteratively filling in more detail, like a progressive jpeg". What are the advantages of something like this - does this generally improves quality or is it used

I would like is someone could give me a few hints on how to distinguish whether a WAV file is uncompressed or it was created by decompressing mp3 file - I usually could take a look at the file through Sound Forge and look if there is a freq. cut-off (usually above 16kHz) or if there isn't one - then I can easily tell by listening if there are high-frequency artifacts (common for mp3). Is there

Hi. Since I'm new to this mailing list, I don't know whether this was discussed in this mailing list, or if it is already fixed. Anyway, the problem is that all audio encoders out there add a small amount of silence to the start/end of the encoded file. This is usually a small amount, around 0.03 seconds. Most of the time it goes unnoticed, BUT when you have tracks that flow into one

What's the delay?

Not related to Vorbis, but it shows how software patents can be abused to the point where it becomes absurd... http://www.idg.net/ic_316584_1794_1-483.html BTW I used a hyperlink here...

Frank Klemm made the clip to test short block switching - it's made of series of short periodical 'pulses', and this period gets smaller as time passes.

I was doing some testing with RC2 and I noticed that RC2 doesn't encode past 19kHz with this clip (-b256 and -b350). There are no problems with this clip like it was before, but this clip contains signal past 19kHz which is audible as a faint high-frequency hiss - and that hiss is gone in the encoded file since RC2 cuts off at 19kHz. I think that -b256 and -b350 should encode at least up to

I couldn't catch Monty on IRC, so I'll ask here... how's RC3 coming along?

While using ogginfo (command line util), I've noticed that there's info on "stream integrity" (it says stream integrity=pass). Does this mean that there are no errors in the bitstream (which can happen if the file is corrupted)? <p>Aleksandar <p><p><p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage:

Hi. Winamp version 3.0 has been announced. There will be no public beta and final version is expected for Christmas. Winamp 3.0 will be completely re-written version, but current plug-ins and skins (for winamp 2.x) will NOT be compatible with Winamp 3 (though this will be addressed in later winamp 3 versions). More info: http://www.winamp.com/nsdn/winamp3x/ Anyway, the reason I'm sending

Hi everyone. Reading all this posts about patent issues, I thought of something: if, by some wild chance FhG (or some other audio company) manages to prove in court that vorbis is breaking their patent rights, you could do something like LAME developers did: release only source code and let people do the compiling so that only users that are living in countries where patents on algorithms are
