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 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)? Also, it looks like Wall Street Journal article is not available on-line (at least to non-registered persons). If someone is registered or have a paper edition, please post this article somewhere so that we

Well, in the world of audio compression it's never boring... :-) Full press release from Dolby: http://www.aac-audio.com/press/aac.pr.0104.AACencoder.html My comments: Looks like Dolby will start licensing AAC encoder that targets consumers and the products they use like CD rippers, jukebox players, etc. Also, it looks like that this encoder will be Low Complexity AAC ("The AAC Consumer

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

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!?

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

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

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! Propably a stupid question, but where can I get those brandnew encoders from? It'd be great if someone could post those URLs to the list for people like me who don't read any forums (no time, no fun :P). Thanks in advance! Obtw, CVS would be fine, too ... but as long as the new code isn't merged to the main branch I feel pretty lost searching for it. Any help here would also be

Hi all, Were there encoder differences between beta4 and 1.0rc1? A precompiled oggenc for Windows identifies itself as beta4, and from a certain mono file produces 53.3 kb/s files, whereas one I've compiled myself, identifying itself as 1.0rc1, produces 55.9 kb/s. Is this a feature or a bug? Also, all the links to images at the top of: http://www.vorbis.com/download_win.psp are broken.

I saw the news about release 1.0 coming up this weekend, but was wondering if there is any reason not to encode now with the pre-release software I have. I want to use CDex with its Ogg support ("Ogg Vorbis DLL Encoder version 1.04, engine 1.04) to replace my MP3 files with Ogg -- and would like to start this weekend while I have the time. Any advice or suggestions appreciated... -- dave

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

I'm going to encode ~2000 CDs soon. All genres, but 90% of it has distorted guitars... Everything from punkrock to metal to industrial to goth to synthpop to classical to techno to whatever... I've heard that RC2 has some hearable artifacts, even in 192/256 kbps... There have been quite a few "bugreports" since RC2 with people sending samples that even I can differ from the
