Hello everyone, ff123 compiled Monty's branch of the RC1 encoder, see his post on r3mix.net forum: http://66.96.216.160/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=c&action=display&num=994299736&start=30 Anyway it only supports ~128kbps mode, so I did a quick listening test with some files that bugged vorbis beta4. grace.wav - the right channel is still a bit watery, and I think this can be seen

Read this article on Dolby shutting down Freeware AAC, also Ogg Vorbis and LAME are mentioned as well with some comments from Jack Moffitt.

If anyone is interested, mp3PRO demo is available on Coding Technologies web site: http://www.codingtechnologies.de/ Demo is a Win32 encoder/player, and it is limited to 64kbps only. I did a quick test, and it really sounds good at 64kbps (but not as good as 128kbps - we all know that was hype). SBR (Spectral Band Replication) seems to be working pretty well. Of course SBR is only used if you

Yes I know this question has been asked many times, but since Monty said that RC1 will be released in July (actually a pre-release should happen before that), and since the month is almost over, is everything still on schedule or is RC1 going to be delayed? -- Vorbis Xtreme | http://solair.eunet.yu/~aldov/ Ogg Vorbis is the free, open source alternative to MP3 --- >8 ---- List archives:

I was doing some testing with RC2 and I noticed that RC2 doesn't encode past 19kHz with this clip (-b256 and -b350). There are no problems with this clip like it was before, but this clip contains signal past 19kHz which is audible as a faint high-frequency hiss - and that hiss is gone in the encoded file since RC2 cuts off at 19kHz. I think that -b256 and -b350 should encode at least up to

I couldn't catch Monty on IRC, so I'll ask here... how's RC3 coming along? Can we expect RC3 anytime soon, and what are the main improvements over RC2? -- Vorbis Xtreme | http://solair.eunet.yu/~aldov/ Ogg Vorbis - free, open source audio __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

In case you missed it, RC2 is on slashdot.org too: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/08/13/1811241 BTW Gian-Carlo Pascutto wrote on /. that RC3 should appear very soon (in a week or so)?

Following a post on vqf.com forum, I found out that some company called Adapted Wave Technology is ready to release its audio codec based on wavelets. They say that this wavelet-based codec is superior to MDCT codecs by 30-50%. One sentence caught my attention: "Adapted Wave Technologies holds exclusive patent rights for applying wavelet packets to audio applications." - sounds like a

Watch the film: http://www.filmwave.com/mp3/ Plot: In the year 2002, the government has outlawed MP3s and any related material including Napster. The FBI has created a department called the MP3 Task Force to help combat illegal MP3s, the Task Force are two former musicians, Agent Farley, and Agent Hopkins, together they will infiltrate the MP3 black market and put an end to MP3s forever.

There is a bug in winamp plug-in tag editor that corrupts files encoded in -b192 mode - these files have trouble with seeking. So get the latest plug-in: http://www.blorp.com/~peter/zips/in_vorbis.exe If some of your files have been messed up by this bug, you have to re-encode them. --- Aleksandar @ Vorbis Xtreme | http://solair.eunet.yu/~aldov Ogg Vorbis is the free, open source alternative

ICecast i capable of sorts of streams, that is not your problem. Your stream source client (DSP) is the part who must be capable of streaming the format you want. For AAC use oddcast DSP www.oddsock.org capabale of AAC, LAME Mp3, and OGG (Free to use) very good at OGG specially with the vorbis 1.1 aoTuVb3 DLLs For AAC Plus (HE_AAC) use Orban opticodec for PC (witch is capable of every bitrate

Monkey's Audio lossless compressor (currently win32 only, free but not open-source except decoder) author is thinking to implement a kind of audiophile-quality lossy compression which would filter "noise bits" that are hard to encode lossless but which are (or should be) inaudible and thus improve lossless compression (avg. 300-450kbps). I think that implementing something like this

The open source AAC/HE-AAC encoders offer pretty poor audio quality. You really want encoder that uses the Coding Technologies, now Dolby, or Fraunhofer libs. That's what Orban Opticodec-PC uses.

As far as I know, LAME is able to mantain the informations stored in some audio files in the lower frequencies, useful for a Dolby pro logic decoder to reproduce a surround sound. Is ogg able to do it?
