similar to: Open Source Compression

Hi. I am a student with limited funds and storage space on my linux box. So I am trying to decide what audio compression scheme to use for my collection of audio tapes (recordings of one speaker, preaching in an church auditorium, recorded with low-grade mics and tape decks) converted to digital audio (16bit, stereo, WAV, 44100Hz). Is FLAC, LPAC, or a standard data compression format better for

I just read some of the discussion on the list about 'bitrate peeling' and remembered an interview of Monty that I have read recently. In it he says that Vorbis uses MCDTs <sp> and that these are theoretically reversable. And now, I learn that theoretically we can use bitrate peeling to make smaller files from larger ones, and that leads to my question. Could I theoretically

Found a corner case. Is there a way to get stuff like this added to the test suite? The canonical Markdown.pl handles it properly, but markdown.py doesn't. I've sumitted a bug report, but haven't checked any other implemenations. kailoa --Being test file: simple formatted links this is a [**test**](http://example.com/) this is a second **[test](http://example.com)** reference

I came across an interesting test sample the other day while trying to compress some of my music and trying out different encoders. You can grab the sample in question from here: http://www.animus-facticius.org drone_clip.zip is a 9 second clip of the track where the artifact is most apparent, drone_short.pac is a 1 minute clip of track. The sample is from the song "Drone" from

Hi, there. Although I'm not a hacker at all, I noticed an audible noise on Beta 4 encoded files. So, I'd like to report it here. I ripped and encoded 'A Day Without Rain' on the album with the same name By Enya into Vorbis using Oggenc and Oggdrop Beta 4 from the Vorbis site. (You know, she is quite an encoder-killer.) At all the bitrates, files encoded by Oggdrop had audible

Are the ogg/vorbis programs updated to v1.0.1 ? OggDrop for example ?

I can think of a coupla ways to approach this and I'd like to hear about what he tried. A couple of % doesnt seem

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

Hiya, will it be possible to add single song playback support like Monkey's Audio Image Link File to FLAC+CUE? This will allow the playing of single songs from 1 large FLAC file. Since FLAC can already embed the cuesheet inside the FLAC itself, the next step will be to allow the playback of the songs individually, allowing them to be added to playlists when playing singles. Please make

I am thinking of buying a Logitech C920S Pro HD or C922 webcam for the necessary video conferencing. Is anyone using that with Zoom or perhaps with Jitsi? Do I need drivers? Any issues? Thank you.

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

Hello. I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm the guy that wrote kexis way back when. For those of you that dont know, kexis was written before flac, and pretty much does what flac does, although its not nearly as nice or robust. I wrote kexis actualy cause I was interested in playing around with lossless compression and shorten was about the only tool that was linux friendly, but had a

I hope this hasn't already been mentioned on the list or I'll kind of look stupid... The Ogg Developers may already be aware of this, but I thought this would be news for most of the people who subscribe to this list. I saw this on NewsForge where they referenced an article from MP3Newswire.net The article is about Kenwood announcing a digital music system for cars that supports Ogg

Two notes on my T-shirt design... Had I known there was an official logo/font for the Ogg Vorbis and Xiph I would have used it. Sorry if this causes any problems. :o) #ifdef Stand_on_SoapBox As for the phenomenon vs. standard I think I may want to explain. It seems that whenever the media reports on Ogg (or ANY open source project for that matter) they often use the word phenomenon to

I was looking around in the documentation of other lossless decoders and noticed that Monkey's Audio supports a normalize feature, the ability to play back different music types and keep them in the same volume range. This seems like a nice option to have when playing an archived cd collection. My question is whether this could just be done at the plugin level or if it would be better to

No. I want the tightest possible compression, while remaining 100% compatible with the subset that all known FLAC decoders can
