Hi: I just wanted to know where exactly the problem with re-encoding in RC2 was. Was it in vorbis' ability to cope well with its own output as input, or did the first encode produce output that didn't lend itself to re-encoding? The difference is important. If it's the latter, anyone wanting to re-encode material will have to first encode it with RC3. I guess what I'm asking

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

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 to it

Ok guys, I just committed the Ogg MIDI code to ogg-tools/oggmerge. You can now make synced vorbis+midi Oggs, but there is (not yet anyway) a tool to play such files. Have a look at the code, and let me know if you see anything major. Adding new media types for merging should be trivial, and you already have two examples (the vorbis one is VERY simple and the MIDI one is much more complicated)

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.

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

Hello there folks, i was having a look through bits of the code to see if there was anything to do with pitch control, or perhaps i should call it speed control. For instance, say you took a track off a DVD which is 48khz, forgot to run it through sox to downsample it to 44khz, yet encoded it anyway. It will sound slower (therefore, the pitch has dropped). Whilst dj-ing (though i am no

For those of you who want to be able to decode Ogg Vorbis files into other formats, SoX (the swiss army knife of audio programs) now has Ogg Vorbis support in CVS. It can read Ogg Vorbis files and export the audio in any format SoX supports. You can also write Ogg Vorbis with it, but, because of limitations in the design of SoX, only output at 128kbps is supported. Note: Instructions on how to

Ever considered creating make files for the Mingw? I've wanted to see if it worked with Ming but I've never had the chance to do so since I imagine it might also require some revisions to the code.

Hello All, VCE is undergoing a transformation. I have converted VCE into a shell extension and renamed it to VorbisExt. The pre-release executable and source code is available from: http://www.ozemail.com.au/~spitsw/VorbisExt/ Now you can change the comments of an Ogg file by pressing ALT-Enter or right click and Properties then selecting Comments while in explorer. There is also a new

I want to understand Ogg vorbis format and develope ogg vorbis's player in my embedded system. So I want know about "Vorbis bitstream mapping" and Structure in detail. But the links are broken in www.xiph.org. I had read overview of ogg vorbis and understood what ogg vorbis want to be. What's the first step? I think it is study the file format and source code. Is there any nice

Well, my last question about this was in the middle of other stuff, but it's a basic one: why put tag info in the comment field at all? Why not use the XML field that's already there? It gives the flexibility needed to do things like translated tags easily, and keeps tag info in the same format as other data--potentially simplifying editors which read other types of metadata. The only

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. #!/bin/bash DATE=`date '+%m-%d-%Y-(%H.%M)'` DESTIN=/video/music/perftoday export DATE=$DATE'-PerformanceToday.ogg' sox -V -r 44100 -c

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
