OT: WinNT(2000) player to open files with unicode names?
Sorry for posting somewhat off-topic...
Most my music files have names in hebrew (FAT32 partition). I dual-boot
between a hebrew win98 (where these files are opened nicely by winamp,
freeamp and any other program) and a hebrew win2000, where windows media
player is the only program I've seen so far to open them. All others say
"can't open file ???? ?? ???.ogg" (or .mp3) - both

Links to archives broken by current->month# transitions
Monty, could you please modify the archiving mechanism so that the current
month messages are archived from the begining into the month-number
directory where they will be afterwards? The current scheme makes people
link to this month's articles with a URL that breaks afterwards.
At least please provide a symbolic link or something from the directory
that will later become correct (e.g.

Is an empty stream legal?
Does the spec allow a stream consisting only of headers, with 0 audio
packates?

DJGPP patches and makefiles
Hi.
Here are my patches and makefiles for compiling ogg, vorbis and
vorbis-tools on DOS with DJGPP. They can build them from cvs snapshots
and need minimal maintainance (even extract source lists from
`makefile.am's). Everything seems to work, except one FP exception on
encode at middle bitrates (lowest two and highest bitrates don't cause it)
- I don't think it's my

FAQ correction
The FAQ says (at its very end):
> Does Vorbis support mid/side stereo modes? More than stereo?
>
> Vorbis has hooks for mid/side stereo and continuous balance stereo,
> but the channel mappings for both are yet to be formally specified and
> implemented. Currently, Vorbis channels are uncoupled.

This should be updated so that people know how good is Vorbis :)

Broken mail list web archive
Hi!
The page http://www.xiph.org/archives/vorbis/masterindex.html

whic gives a 404 error ( not found ).
Just like last time ( begin of november ), when I reported it just like now.
And I was ignored, just like now (?).

Fwd: Re: Clarification on pshycho-acoustic in Vorbis (your non-MP3 guide)
After reading http://mp3.radified.com/mp3.htm I sent Rad an explanation of
some things as I understand them. He liked it and posted it on his site
(still unlinked, use the URL below). Can somebody with better
understanding of psycho-acoustic terms and the vorbis model check it and
comment on it? In particular I didn't know how vorbis handles
quantization noise. If you reply with

Encoding or Playback problem?
Hi all,
Have trouble encoding / playing back OGG using WinAmp + plugin. I encoded
the files from .WAV with Ogg drop RC2. Seems to be ok. When I try and play
them back though I get very very weird sound effects (some kind of
"wobbling", some bass frequencies that are usually in the background seem to
get more emphasised and they seem to have some kind of strange echo / reverb

Winamp plugin not recognized at all
I happily downloaded the official beta4 winamp plugin as well as Mattew's
versions with VCE interated and with/without the dialog. When I installed
it winamp (v2.72) didn't recognize it (no vorbis plugin listed in the
config, doesn't play ogg files) - same for all of them. I recompiled it
myself from Mattew's source with vce - same results.
It does recognize the old plugin when

UTF-8 & Hebrew
Sorry if this is offtopic.
My Win32 comment editor uses a routine of my own to read comments
directly from OGG files but uses vorbiscomment.exe to write comments.
I've implemented a UTF-8 function which I found on the internet to
decode UTF-8. It appears to be working fine for most European
characters, however, I have a Russian user using WinXP who is entering
Hebrew characters such as

Codebook Flexibility
I've tried to understand the codebook matter (but haven't yet had
time to read the source).
I want to understand how ibg is the flexibility resulting from packing
the codebook in the header of every bitstream.
Can we, for example, change the volume of the whole sound by scaling
the vectors in the codebook? (My guess is that this wouldn't be enough,
as we have to scale the floor of

Vorbis packet sizes
As an optimisation to reading Ogg encapsulated files, I've been thinking
about a strategy of reading entire packets out of the stream, and sending
them to the decoder. This has the advantages that:
* The packet is just a linear array of bits in memory, with length known in
advance.
* The routine which gets bits out of the packet is then trivial and possibly
inlined.
* There is no possibility

file(1) magic for Ogg Vorbis
I downloaded `file' for djgpp, and it verbosly identified my mp3 by
bitrate, sample rate, mono/stereo, option bits, etc. WAVs are also
uidentified well. Only vorbis was identified simply as "Ogg-Vorbis
compressed sound file" without any info. So I decided I must fix this to
replace my aliases that use `od' to read the bitrate and number of
channels.
Here is the result

Bit peeling(?) used in MPEG-2/SVCD Nero plugin?
Not vorbis-related, just I think I found a similar technique being used...
The description of the MPEG-2/SVCD plugin on the nero site says that it
can encode exacty to the size of the CD (to maximize quality given a size
restriction). It also says (in a separate point) that it uses two-pass
VBR compression.

"The Ogg Vorbis Musical Abyss"
Just found this one:
http://camelot.kingarthur.com/phoco/ogg_vorbis/info.html
It seems to have music dedicated to vorbis (by the names, don't have
player here) and a link to an interview with Monty ("more information
on the Ogg Vorbis format") and the artists seem very excited about it.

PP's Winamp plugin bug (unicode tags, advanced mode)
In advanced tag editting mode, the list of tags doesn't display unicode
content of tags properly.
A side suggestion: forcing english keyboard in tag name edit field would
be helpful (when I edit many tags all in my language, currently I have
to witch to english and back all the time).

Is comment order meaningful?
The spec seems to be unclear on this: should two comment haeders who only
differ in the order of comments be considered equevalent?
VCE shows comments in the order read and allows to store them in any order
(it has move up/down buttons). Comment editors with a fixed layout (like
the commmon TITLE/ARTIST/etc. fields in PP's winamp plugin) don't show the
order and give no control of it.

Happy New Year! RC3 Released!
Happy New Year from the Xiphophorus Team.
It took longer than we thought, but I think everyone will agree this is
our best release yet.
With drastic quality improvements and new bitrate management features,
this release brings us one step closer to 1.0.
Along with all the lovely VBR modes you are used to, you now have
millions more. oggenc's quality settings are 0-10 in increments of

Realtime resampling/encoding with oggenc
Don't know if anybody is still missing the lame oggenc features for
resampling, lowpass/highpass filters etc, but I wrote a little script that
uses sox to do all the stuff I need to real-time encode oggenc from the
radio, or any input device.
