Hi Joane, I think AMDs are 'preferable' of cost/'performance unit'. For standard applications you will have to compare a Duron-900 to a P-III-933; and AMDs will perform much better when it comes to number crunching. And now -- have a look at the prices...! I wouldn't buy any Intel chip today... this may be a 'European' habit, but I think it isn't / shouldn't

Hello! I am about to buy a new computer, and because encoding/decoding .ogg files is the most processor intensive thing I intend to regularly do, I would like to know which is the "recommended" processor for real-time encoding (I record my favourite radio shows). TIA! Bye, Joane Lispton PS: I receive the FM radio stations through my cable (the one which brings me cable TV),

Hi again, On a related not, I think I read in the mailing-list archives that the Pentium III wasn't "ideal" for .ogg operations; are AMD's processors more appropriate/do they perform better?

Hi everyone, Thank you for all your input; may I pose you one last question? If I wish to _ensure_ that I can _always_ do real-time encoding, what is the cheapest AMD chip I should buy? I really don't need "better than real-time" encoding, but I do wish to be sure that the CD is ripped when I am finished listening to it, so that I can carelessly eject it without checking if the

Hi Warren, is this shell extension able to modify multiple ogg files, either each one after another, or within one transaction (e.g. adding a comment to all files; stripping all comments from all files)? Or would I have to use the context menue for each separately? So long Friedrich > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Warren Spits [mailto:spits@cyberdude.com] > Gesendet:

Hi everyone, My name is Tord Jansson and I'm the creator of BladeEnc. I'm very delighted to see that someone has created an open and patent-free sound format which seems to have the qualifications to be on par (or beat) even the best proprietary formats. Congratulations to everyone involved! I would like to help making Vorbis a popular format for compressed audio and have been thinking

I have having problems trying to take a file recorded with Monitor and convert it to MP3. When I use 'play' to play the .wav file, it sounds fine. After bladenc'ing it, it plays at lightening speed, and the voices are all high pitch. I tried using sox to resample to 32000 before encoding, but that didnt work either. Do any of you convert your .wav files to mp3? Monitor call:

Greetings. In looking through the mail archives, I don't see any mention of parallelism of the vorbis code (particularly the encoder). I was wondering if anyone was looking into this at all? Either with threads, and/or on some kind of parallel machine (e.g., a Beowulf cluster)? I see very little mention of threads in the source code, which leads me to believe that they are only there for

I've put together a first cut for a Win32 DLL using the BladeEnc interface. Right now, it's just a drop-in replacement for BladeEnc.dll that ignores all encoding parameters passed to it and uses the info_A vorbis_info struct (same as the encoder_example). It's not particularly useful as of yet, but you can rename it to BladeEnc.dll and use it with any number of rippers out there

Hi, I released a BladeEnc-style wrapper for the Ogg Vorbis 1.0 codec which works with my CD ripper ACXtractor.

In all the abx'ing and ear testing I've done in the past for my classical and jazz music I have never seen or heard bladeenc output worse than xing. (worse than lame, yes) Now, to sorta keep this ON topic. I have never heard a an xing, blade OR lame encoded mp3 sound better than a Garf tuned RC2 encode of my Jazz and Classical stuff, (not a large sample set). Also, I haven't used

Hi all, I've just posted another version of vorb_enc.dll (w/source code) at http://xtractor.sourceforge.net/vorbdll-20000626.zip It will still work as a drop-in replacement for bladeenc.dll (just rename the files that your ripper creates from MP3 to OGG), but will also accept info for the ogg comment header in the vorb struct in the format union of the BE_CONFIG struct. I'll be

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.

helo I am running samba on an 800 Duron / 640MB PC2100 DDR Ram / 40 GB IBM Deskstar with slackware 8 / 2.2.17 Optimized for Duron. Whenever I copy files to the server, my load average gets to be about 6.0-8.0! On the 700 Duron we have at the office where I work, (same specs except it has 768MB of SDRAM and a RAID Array). Would the reason my box runs so slow be because its swap drive and the

I just recently got myself the SonicBlue RioVolt Mp3/WMA CD player, which has upgradeable firmware. I've sent a request to: customersupport@diamondmm.com asking them to add support for Ogg Vorbis in the next release of their firmware, so that it will be able to read Ogg CDs and display its tags properly. It would be great if others could e-mail the same address and ask for the same

I tried to convert a cheapie box with a VIA C3 processor into my Asterisk server with a TDM-400P rev. E. It didn't work. :) I'm just posting my experiences here for the record; this is not a plea for assistance. The nifty-looking blue "E" cards, as most here probably know, require a PCI 2.2-compliant slot. What you may not know is that manufacturers may LIE about that (or

I have the following Problem, include doesn't seem to work very well, its VERY intermitantly. The files are attached below along with an smbclient output. Basically I am setting up a PUBLIC share, that if I connect to will give me admin access. It contains service packs and fixes, so when I install someones system, they can just click and connect, without being prompted for a password.
