Hello: Does anyone know if Garf's tunings have been integrated into CVS yet? I am waiting for that before upgrading.

Hello, I'm seeking advice here as I'm intend in the not to distant future to start encoding my CD collection, and I'm not sure what to use. Do I use the still current v1.0, or am I better off using a newer build? Also, I've started to notice mention of versions 1.0.1 and 1.1 in these mailing lists. Are these worth holding out for? I'll probably encode at about Q7, and am using

http://audio.ciara.us/test/index.html http://audio.ciara.us/test/128extension/results.html AAC, MPC, Vorbis, WMA 9/Pro, Lame & Blade were tested at 128k vbr. MP3Pro, AAC-Pro/Plus(?) and older versions of WMA were not tested. Looks like Vorbis tied with AAC, MPC and WMA 9/Pro for first. Although it was a four way tie, Vorbis was on the low end. And LAME was only slightly lower, comming in

Well, this question comes once and again. I have RC3 and Garf's RC2 tuned versions (160 and 350) in a nice graph. Nobody should be surprised that RC3 is better, but in some cases GRC2 shows better EAQUAL/bitrate results. There seems to be room for improvement in RC3 with some tweaking. See it by yourself at http://audio.sinderman.com/...

Hi, Was wondering if any gurus could tell me if it is possible to stream Ogg on very low bandwidth links (for example satellite phone) where the expected bandwidth would almost certainly be less than 19Kbps, and probably more like 10Kbps. I am not after great audio at this bitrate, mono with an audio bandwidth less than 5KHz. I have done some testing (not streaming though) listening to 8Kbps MP3

My icecast server (1.3.11) has been getting 404 errors for the past couple of days from the yp.shoutcast.com server.

...side with MPC. BUT the APPLAUD.WAV test case ( http://lame.sourceforge.net/download/samples/applaud.wav ) still produces **VERY** easily audible high-frequency artifacts when encoded with OGG RC3 up to q4.9 (!!!). Things are **MUCH** better from q5.0 on. I also noticed that Gian-Carlo's "Garf Tuned" oggencgt2 ( http://sjeng.sourceforge.net/ftp/vorbis/oggencgt2.exe ) performs MUCH better, producing q5-like results at lower bitrates: - Oggenc RC3 with -q4.9...........168 kbps -> bad artifacts - Garf Tuned RC2 with -b 128......171 kbps -> good quality - Oggenc RC3 with -q5....

...he Vorbis 1.0.1 bugfix release, and he has moved on to more interesting things. He has started work on Vorbis 1.1, which will feature a refined encoder model, not just tuning of existing parameters, and OggFile, among other goodies that will be announced at a later time. Fans of the Garf-tuned Vorbis encoder will be happy to hear that Monty is using Garf's work wherever he can. On the low bitrate side, Monty has some tricks up his sleeve to remedy known problems such as the high frequency boost and the poor performance on problem samples such as "Waiting.&quot...

Hi folks, We're gearing up to the next full release of the Vorbis codec; I've just tagged a release candidate in SVN in order to encourage wider testing toward final 1.1 release. This release includes the following updates: 1) Adoption of AoTuV and other tuning work by Vorbis developers outside of Xiph into the mainline codebase 2) New bitrate management code 3) bugfixes In more

hello there, I just started using ogg files. And want to thank you all for this new format. I have written an addon for mirc (chatclient for irc chat networks) to play and exchange soundfiles and I am almost done with implementing the ogg vorbis format into this application. The mirc-scriptinglanguage provides me a command to read a specified number of bytes starting at a specified location of

What I want to know is just how he can accurately determine people are doctoring listener counts. In point of fact, I have a few reflectors on a couple of non-routable networks, and none of those servers forward listerner count information to the directory servers. There is also no simple...

hello celt developers. im just wondering if its possible to compile celt codec for windows? if so, could someone point me in the right direction? thanks.

Hi, In paper" A High-Quality Speech and Audio Codec With Less Than 10 ms Delay", you are mention that: There are still several ways to improve CELT, such as by incorporating better psychoacoustic masking in the dynamic bit allocation. This is a difficult problem both because there are few bits available for coding the allocation and because the analysis window is short. it is

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 released. *GRIN* Myles - ogg'ing and flac'ing happily -----Original Message----- From: Greg Wooledge [mailto:greg@wooledge.org] Sent: Friday, June 21, 20...

Q: Is there any testing against a collection of known "hard-to-encode" clips before new releases? It would be an obvious thing, if you want to be serious about quality. I brought this up because I tried latest cvs version of oggenc on one of these standard clips I have. It's a 6 sec long clip of an applause. Heavy noise is easy to hear with qualities 0 to 5,99.

Hi (hope I am in the right mailing list!) I really can't figure out how to use Vorbisgain in OggdropXPd - it doesn't seem to work so far. Can Someone pls. explain detailed (steps) what to do when using Vorbisgain in OggdropXPd? I understand the settings for Vorbisgain are in "decoding options"... why? What I really want is the function of Mp3Gain on Ogg-files, and I thought
