search for: lossily

Hello. I'm new to the list, and I've dutifully, like the good newbie (in this list anyway) that I am, have searched through the archives, but I can find no answer to my question. SO...is there, or can there be, a viable MP3 to OGG translator, so that those of us with gigabytes of MP3's (legalities aside) can translate them to OGGs? I don't mind ripping any NEW Cd's that

...but I'm not sure > could it be true with pop music. For sure 1:4 ratio would be > a great thing to have, compared to FLAC's 1:2 ratio. I don't think this method is relevant to FLAC and here's why. First, the results they show are for compression of data that has already been lossily quantized to fewer bits per sample, e.g. u-Law and A-Law are logarithmic quantizations of 16-bit data to 8-bit. Second, the average ratio (assuming the table describes ratios, since the omitted the units) for 44.1kHz audio is 3:1. They only vaguely mention the sources for the material. I can cho...

...tion, but why don't you just send voice over the radio link? Short of encryption, which is best handled elsewise anyway, I can't think of a good reason to create a data stream, losing a lot of the applicable range of the audio stream to modulation steps, to facilitate the passing of hugely lossily compressed audio, losing massive fidelity to fit into the data stream. I mean, the brain's already got some fairly advanced error correction hardware up and running. Use the radio *as* *a* *radio*. OTOH, if you're just being allowed ~1/4 of a 9600 baud stream, and the other 7200 baud is...

I thought the author has two models, A-law and AMI ADPCM, which both he extends. AMI ADPCM starts with 16-bit samples, but I'm not sure if A-law is involved in that process....

Hi again. Since mostly stupid people gave me stupid answers last time, I will try again. MP3 and Ogg Vorbis use different models in order to remove most of the bits. What is the names of these models and how do they differ? <p><p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to

Hello! i have to re-code about 1Gb of mp3's. And i want to keep tags. o i use Delphi component to save tags, use lame to unpack file, then use =========Beginning of the citation============== OggEnc v0.8 (libvorbis rc2) (c) 13.08.2001 Michael Smith <msmith@labyrinth.net.au) =========The end of the citation================ to pack it - and i cannot pass comments there, as the encoder

...s reports can be found at http://www.vorbis.com. There are many technical improvements in this release. The most ground breaking feature in this release is the long-awaited channel coupling. With 8 channel coupling modes, any number of Vorbis audio channels can be further compressed losslessly or lossily by eliminating the redundant information. No other audio codec has this class of functionality. The result of this new feature is Ogg Vorbis files are now between 20% and 50% smaller and sound even better than before. The final version of Ogg Vorbis is coming soon. Visit http://www.vorbis.com...

Another problem I would like to speack about : tags. Each format appears to create its own tag. TwinVQ and WMA tags are limited but Mp3 has a good tag system (although the "genre" category could be improved). Now ogg develops a new kind of tagging. I imagine converting all my tags with thousand of tracks... real nightmare... Is there an authority or a project to standardiza tags ?

Maybe

In order to experiment with the theora encoder, I bought a mini-DV camcorder a couple of weeks ago; a Panasonic PV-GS9 for $250. I wanted a mini-DV because it is claimed that capturing video from the camcorder to a computer over a firewire cable results in an exact copy of the recorded video. That was not my experience. The video I captured to my computer over the firewire cable, using both

I can't tell whether this is really serious: http://www.informatik.fh-hamburg.de/~windle_c/Logologie/MP3-Gefahr/MP3-risk.html Some comments please! <p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe'

Hi. I'm an undergraduate linguistics major and computer science minor at the University of Colorado in Boulder, and am taking a couple classes this semester which give me the opportunity to do a research project - one on introductory acoustics in the physics department, and one in the linguistics department on phonetics and phonology. I've got an idea, but I'd like to hear from anyone

It obviously would be nice to have such a mode available, for e.g. DVD audio compression. Apparently, the list doesn''t tell me too much about it. My questions are: 1. What is the current status of the 5.1 channel coupling in Vorbis? 2. If I''ll be interested in participation in its development, what is the recommended reading? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Hi, I guess this is a good time to start putting together a wish list for a video codec. I see that for audio the compression is around 10X for reasonable quality. I am sure this will start its own thread of conversation. For video you can do 40X fairly easily and the big task is to go to 80X or 100X with reasonable picture quality, say, a peak luma SNR of more than 30 dB. Uncompressed
