Hi All, Some of the discussion recently has touched on ripping one's own CDs for archival purposes. I've consistantly rejected the idea of doing this in my case for space and time reasons, and in the belief that commercially produced CDs when properly treated can be expected to have a very long life. However, I'm now questioning this assumption. I have a 2 CD set of "The

Hi, I have downloaded Vorbis and played with it, and I have downloaded Speex but not yet played with it. My understanding is that Vorbis is targetted at high-quality audio (music) while Speex is targetted at speech quality audio (telephoney and such). So I have two questions to ask the group: 1. Which would your experiences show is the better codec for recording high quality speech such

Hi All, I've been building and testing FLAC and have run a problem. I get a number of 'integer constant out of range' warnings during the make, and these give rise to failures in the test suite: testing zeroes, raw_uint32*... FAILED pattern match testing process_until_end_of_stream()... 0... 1... 2... ERROR: metadata block mismatch for example. The problem is that gcc

Hi All, Why is it that sometimes when I encode a .wav file then decode it again the length of the generated file is 2 bytes shorter than the length of the source file? The discrepancy in length occurs in the header and the remainder of the data from there on is identical. It seems to me that what appear to be length fields in the header is adjusted appropriately. I suspect that this is not a

Hi, I have created a chained Ogg Vorbis file containing 26 files in 75304323 bytes using the Unix 'cat' utility. When I run the file through 'ogginfo' I get the message: Warning: sequence number gap in stream 26. Got page 0 when expecting page 9. Indicates missing data. This is what I have determined: * When I run each of the component files through

Hi All, I've run into a small hiccup in encoding my audios with Speex. When I encode audience laughter and applause with 'speexenc' (version 1.0.1), the result is quite acceptable... until I enable VBR. Then it distorts horribly. My understanding of VBR is that it frees the encoder to vary the number of bits emitted to better maintain the quality requested, and so I would have

Hi All, Let me ask this question of the group: When bit rate peeling becomes available, how will the quality of the peeled Vorbis file compare to a file encoded at the target quality directly from the original? So, for: a.wav --> b.ogg (at q6) --> c.ogg (at q2) a.wav --------------------> d.ogg (at q2) how are c.ogg and d.ogg likely to compare in terms of audio

Hi Folks, FWIW I figured out the /etc/magic file entries for both native and Ogg wrappered Speex, Vorbis and FLAC (attached). YMMV because the fields aren't necessarily in fixed positions in the files, but it works fine for me. Feel free to include it in the Xiph archives or forward it to the /etc/magic file maintainer once you're satisfied with it. John -------------- next part
