similar to: Is transcoding a bad thing?

In case there are any Debian developers around here, I wanted to point out message <20020828154322.GA15114@chulak.naquadah.org> on the debian-devel list this morning. Another Debian developer is proposing to submit an mp3->vorbis transcoding program for inclusion in Debian. I have objected to this on the grounds that the resulting vorbis files will sound like crap, and I have also pointed

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.

Dear ALl Can we use Asterisk for only for transcoding?. if yes how many concurent call we can transcode with help of Astetrisk? For this we only need to config SIP.conf or any other file too.

Hi, I am having some problems a Samba server logged into an Active Directory Domain, acting as PDC on Windows 2003 server. When I log into the AD domain from my XP machine, I see the Linux server, which has also logged into the AD server and exported a few shares. From XP i see the share in explorer but when I try to access it it pops up a login/password box for me. When I enter the login id

Figured I'd join the list since I saw someone else had just popped in looking for exactly the same thing I am (non-transcoding opus streamer for sending multiple .opus files to icecast2). It looks like ices2 would do exactly what I personally need, except for not having been updated to support opus yet. (I chatted on IRC once or twice with someone who it sounds like is interested in adding

Hi, some questions/comments about performance/utility of * and * hardware I've been reading this list for a few weeks and I think I have compiled the better feelings of the users. please correct me if I'm wrong, still learning * .... Will be nice to see something like this in a wiki. After being flamed and corrected I will repost "clean" data. 1- Transcoding is the process of

Hi, I have a bunch of old radio programs (mystery/drama shows, not music) encoded at 32 kbit (and some 48kbit) mp3 (mono). I want to reencode them in ogg and make them available over gnutella. My question is this. What is the best quality level (-q) for transcoding them. I want to preserve quality, but I want to be sensitive to the many modem based gnutella users. I also want to to

I created some test samples and transcoded to FDK AAC and libopus at fairly low bitrates - I cannot recreate what bothered me about Opus & noisy music previously. It also seems I cannot tease ffmpeg into encoding FDK's AAC with VBR. As it stands, Opus clearly wins in this scenario.* Q: Is it possible to stream in variable bitrate? * ffmpeg -i "$track" -vn -ac 2 -c:a libfdk_aac

Hello I use asterisk realtime, and I can set the order of codec preference on my realtime allow column. If I could disable transcoding, then I can always ensure a passthrough of the common codec from origin to destination without transcoding (expensive on CPU) - and more or less, force the codec to use by setting the codec preference So, can I disable transcoding?

Opus or AAC will give you comparable results at reasonable bitrates (~128k). Though, I would suggest finding a way to get more storage. You could upload to Backblaze B2 or AWS S3 for pennies, if your current host won't let you upgrade.

Hello, Could somebody tell me is it possible to use asterisk without RTP proxying in SIP<->H323 calls? I mean exactly what canreinvite=yes option do in SIP<->SIP calls. I don't need a transcoding, only a signaling conversion, and this is possible with some softswitches, so i wondering what about asterisk. Same question about H323<->H323 calls I'm using NuFone

Good afternoon, I'm trying to use the CLI command file convert on an Asterisk 1.4.26 server with a TC400B transcoding card. The transcoding card is working well for calls but I have some trouble converting sound files from alaw to g729. The command creates empty file as you can see below... CLI> file convert /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/fr/service_notactivated.alaw

Hello, I have transcoding card TC400P installed in server running Debian with Asterisk 1.4.23. Everything seams to be fine and after I boot up server I see in dmesg: 7.590966] Zapata Telephony Interface Registered on major 196 [ 7.590966] Zaptel Version: 1.4.12.1 [ 7.590966] Zaptel Echo Canceller: MG2 [ 7.610963] zttranscode: Loaded.

There is a serious bug in Sangoma transcoding cards. The card has an internal, small jitter buffer and it drops samples from the audio stream when there is high jitter in the network. The bandwidth is cheap now so for me the only reason to use transcoding is where I have low-bandwidth-high-jitter links. Sangoma said they will not fix it and we had to go back to software transconding. Do you have

Sorry for a possible retransmit: the first was sent from an incorrect email address. I'm trying to use the Polycom SoundStation IP 7000 with Confbridge. But the transcoding from siren14 to slin32 is via slin. First, it seems odd that there's no transcoder directly to slin32 since anything else will lower fidelity. But, more importantly, there is transcoding from siren14 to slin16 and

Kai, Thank you for the reply. I didn't want to bother the list too much. However, after reading I discover I don?t have a clear cut way of doing transcoding. Can somebody direct me to where I can get document to get this transcoding done. My set up >From [cisco (g729)] ----> [asterisk (sip channel(g729)within the same asterisk) g711 to chan_ss7] -----> [pstn] And vice versa. I

Let's say I have two devices configured and the follow call scenarios occur. [100] disallow=all allow=g722&ulaw Polycom phone with g722,ulaw,alaw,g729 [101] disallow=all allow=ulaw Polycom phone with g722,ulaw,alaw,g729 101 dials 100 -> ulaw to ulaw is chosen 100 dials 101 -> g722 to ulaw is chosen Ideally when 100 dials 101 ulaw would be chosen since it is the common format.

Hello Everyone, We are looking for solutions where the transcoding is abstracted away from our * box (i.e., to the network layer) using some carrier grade gateway, or router. The reason for my post is to know about solutions people have used in the past, and how it fits into their overall architecture. Our transcoding needs consists mainly of u/alaw <-> g729, and gsm would also be good....

I am unable to get re-invite to work on a new system. Also, unwanted transcoding is occurring on PSTN calls. The new system (FreePBX 2.11.0.37, Asterisk 11.9.0, CentOS 6.5) will eventually replace an old system (FreePBX 2.8.1, Asterisk 1.8.7.2, CentOS 5.8) currently in production. Both systems are on VPS with public IP addresses. Goals for the new system include: HD (g722) connections on
