similar to: new MS codecs

I was wondering how vorbis fares as a speech codec? I mean can it give similar or better quality as GSM/Toast at the same kind of bitrates/filesize? I'm not worried about streaming but I'd love to be able to create really small voice files. Can anyone give me an idea of filesize for recording time for pure speech based use? love Freya __________________________________________________

Hi, I wrote a quite useful perl script (and I am still working on it) that does all the renaming and tagging of my MP3 files automatically (which is very useful because I am an order fanatic and everything has to have MY format). I'm not quite done with ID3v2 support but that will probably work soon. As I am planning to start using Ogg Vorbis instead of MP3 in the future I am already now

I'm shopping for a small/tiny audio recorder, the kind for recording in a class, interviews, etc... not really music, just voice. Per usual, a lot of these write their audio files in some Windows format, e.g., WMA. As a confirmed Linux guy, I'd want to offload the audio files in some format that Linux can read/play natively. I've read a sketchy suggestion that there's a Linux

Hi I downloaded speex_win32_1.0.4_setup.exe. I was pretty happy to see that there was libspeex.lib and libspeex.dll. Everything went fine until I tried to build speexenc.c as win32 console program. Visual Studio 2005 gives error: "fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'LIBC.lib'". What is this LIBC.lib file? My ultimate goal would be to make wav->speex encoder

It won't be long until big labels attempt to eliminate the digital ins and outs of equipment. The problem they face is most people that currently use a rack system featuring digital interconnects will NEVER revert to an analog only system. I know that I won't! Think back to VHS, BetaMax, SVHS and LaserDisc. VHS has incredible market share because its licensing is open. Betamax was

Hi! I am using RHL 5.2 and Samba 2.0.2. I have the SAMBA acting as the PDC in the network where most of the clients are Win95. Earlier we had a Novell Netware Network and I decided to shift over to Linux/Samba. I am having trouble implementing certain shares. The exact problem is described below: I want ONLY 'nhs' and 'vhs' to have read only access to '/usr/iso9001/edp'

Hey y'all -- I heard some discussion a while back about "bitrate stripping" to reduce filesize without re-encoding ... has this gone anywhere?

Sorry for the crosspost but I think it's important. Tom Pepper of Nullsoft, posted this yesterday. "We've considered heavily which direction seems most appropriate for the second generation audio codec of SHOUTcast. Our primary goal in the decision process was to provide smaller consumption of bits while maintaining similar quality and compatibility with existing playback systems.

Hi R experts :) I'm trying to carry out a survival model on my data, but I am unsure of whether it's appropriate or if I should do something specific in regards to hazard. My data is time to death by predator where I have 8 prey and one predator in the setting. This means that two prey can't possibly die at the same time and I can't quite get my head around how to include this in

Hello, Queries: 1 - what is the best RAID (0,1,5,10,50) for server running very, very VM instances ??? 2 - and config of stripes/element sizes (32, 64, 128, 256, etc, KB) ?? 3 - in the configuration of VM, exit one difference in performance between image file (disk:/) or LVM partition (phy:/) ??? any URL or docs for read about this theme ? mmm.. it is all for moment. thanks -- -- Victor

I suppose it could be possible to patent something and let the patent expire so that it is registered at the patent office but not enforcable. No one else could patent it then. I get curious about the RLE patent. I heard Someone has a patent on run length encoding and I wonder how long they have had it because I remember RLE code running on a sinclair spectrum in the 80's before the whole

Looks like the mpeg gestapo are frantically at work cracking down on mpeg projects. Several important projects (tsunami mpeg, gogo, faac, etc) were shut down by the jack booted patent nazis. Since FhG, mpegla, etc plan to start charging royalties on everything even remotely mpeg-related very soon, I expect a lot of interest is going to shift to Vorbis. And soon thereafter, I expect FhG to attack

So it looks like the Frauenhoffer boys are issuing an updated format -- MP3pro. They claim that it will give 128kbps/MP3 quality in 64kbps. I'm interested to see what others think of this. I'm also curious: I've seen others on the list say that Ogg/Vorbis' sound quality is "better" than MP3. Can this be quantified (or is this already on a web page somewhere)? I kinda
