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

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

Hi, I have a track which when encoded with Mode_C or even Mode_E does not encode well at all ... It's a jazz flute track with a lot of plate echo. The flute (centred in the mix) almost disappears ... I am away for a few days, but if someone would like to look at this I would be grateful ... A small clip can be grabbed from my ftp server ... ftp.york.ac.uk in:

Hello -- I desperately want to start using Ogg compression on music I release on the internet, but I am encountering a fair amount of artifacts. I noticed some in beta4 and was hoping they would disappear with RC1. However, I've been playing with RC2 and I've still been banging my head into a number of problems. A majority of the music I make has long drones with a fair amount of spectral

A-ha! That explains a lot. There used to be a project called FAAC but I presume it's gone. After seeing

After doing an informal (128k) listening test, I have concluded that I prefer Beta4 over RC2. The 16kHz low-pass on the RC2 encoder makes it sound like FM radio. Both encoders SEEM to have a couple of dB bump at 10kHz.

We all know that currently Vorbis is the only codec out there that doesn't add any silence to the decoded file, so when you decode your .ogg file the resulting .wav will be exactly the same length as the original one. This is very useful when encoding gapless songs (like live concerts...). But since Vorbis is a lossy codec, even though there is no silence added, sometimes you can still hear a

I noticed that clipping occurs in lossy audio compression even if there is no clipping in the original file (though the original file has peaks that are just below the maximum). I know that this happens due to all the filtering involved during compression, but I'm wondering just how audible this clipping is because I don't hear anything wrong. I mean, as things are now, is it safe to say

Hi, there. While waiting for the encoder RC1, I will report some minor problems I experienced with Peter's Winamp decoder. First, I am using Nullsoft Vorbis Decoder v.1.11a with Winamp v.2.76 on Windows 98 SE. 1. When the buttons of Playlist Editor are extended, the part extended in playlist screen seems to be flickering when an Ogg file is being played. 2. I check the option of

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

In light of the recent study - http://www.airwindows.com/encoders/index.html - posted at slashdot, I've come to realize how little I know about this whole field. So, I'm making an appeal to the audio experts here. I want 'jukebox' quality, meaning ~0 artifacts while maintaining a good compression ratio, but not quite 'archival' (read high bitrate) as I don't mind

Hello, just one question: is it possible to implement a "quality switch" to Ogg Vorbis like the -V option of the lame encoder? It's the only thing I'm missing. Everything else is nearly perfect!

Frank Klemm made the clip to test short block switching - it's made of series of short periodical 'pulses', and this period gets smaller as time passes. You can get this file at: http://www.uni-jena.de/~pfk/Short_Block_Test.wav.gz.gz (1.6MB) (uncompress it twice with gzip) I used oggenc beta3 & mp+ 1.7.8 Oggenc gave 160kbps using mode -b 256 mp+ gave 350kbps (using

Hi. Since I'm new to this mailing list, I don't know whether this was discussed in this mailing list, or if it is already fixed. Anyway, the problem is that all audio encoders out there add a small amount of silence to the start/end of the encoded file. This is usually a small amount, around 0.03 seconds. Most of the time it goes unnoticed, BUT when you have tracks that flow into one

Hi, during I make a some du command (du -sh), samba has been disturb and sent a panic action : Last line of smbd.log : [2008/07/30 15:36:09, 0] lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn(709) ERROR: string overflow by 1 (16 - 15) in safe_strcpy [10.217.7.3/255.255.252.0] [2008/07/30 16:04:43, 0] lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn(709) ERROR: string overflow by 1 (16 - 15) in safe_strcpy

Hello, I'd like to use abcde to rip my CD:s to Ogg Vorbis format - but abcde wants a "vorbiscomment" in my PATH. I assume it's a tool for inserting meta-data into Ogg Vorbis files, but where do I get it? The vorbis-tools package doesn't seem to contain it.

Something very scary just happened to me while I was creating a ksh script to rsync mulitple FS between two hosts. Here is the script, notice the 'i' at the end of rsync line, it got put there by mistake. You also see the contents of $FSLIST cat'd below the script. When I ran this, it started to delete files in root's home directory and place files from the fist FS,

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!?
