For those who are interested, I've run 3 EAQUAL tests on both the LAME and OGG encoders: LAME with the --alt-standard preset (with and without --nspsytune) and OGGENC (RC3) with -q 6 (my personal "sweet spot") I am somewhat unsure though about the validity of these tests, since the original and decoded files were not the same size (2 KB difference). The LAME encoded files were also

I just wanted to know if anyone has noticed a difference between MP3 and OGG encoded files when having the Winamp equalizer switched on? I seem to be missing bass and the sound doesn't fill the room as much with OGG. With the EQ turned off there is no discernable difference between both LAME and Vorbis encoded files (both at an average of 192 kbps). Is this an error with the OGG Winamp plugin?

I started thinking about this after doing a little testing with AAC, MP3 and Ogg Vorbis. I was comparing the different formats at similiar bitrates. After a while I finally realized that they all sound more or less the same to me. >From 160 kbps on, I usually cannot detect any difference between a lossy encoding and the original source. If LAME is used, I have to strain to notice anything at

This is the new page after the first feedback round: http://audio.sinderman.com/ Comments? Conclusions? Developers feedback? Can someone ABX 60.wav with 60.ogg -q 0? Cheers, AGS. P.S. Garf/Erik, I have included some comments from EAQUAL's author. <p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this

I've just spotted that the latest version of Winamp (v2.80) has support built in (not requiring the plugin to be installed) at last. At least according the the "new features" section.

Has anyone from the Vorbis team been in contact with the LAME camp? I'm sure with their knowledge, the people developing LAME could make a major contribution to the OGG development, if they were willing. Sure, MP3 and OGG are in some ways majorly different, but they are similarities, right? With the latest stable release of 3.91, I think the LAME crew has done their best and pulled a helluva

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I've been off this list for a while now so I lost touch with ogg vorbis development. Could somebody please bring me up to date? As I take, the current RC2 release contains full 1.0 feature support (incl. channel coupling). Does this mean I can now start encoding all of my music as a ~128kbit/s ogg bitstream without fear of reduced

Are there plans to incorporate aoTuV mode into vorbis, perhaps a commandline switch to make optionally available the aoTuV tunings? The abx results from aoTuV are impressive... http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?showtopic=21916&st=50&&#entry215109 -Dan

This mail depends upon the fact that I don't have a couple of good earphones ;-) I read in the site that q=6 is a very high quality, but does it contain perceivable differencies from the original? (for 95% of people, of course). I also found q=6 to produce files slightly bigger (1/10 bigger) than those produced with lame VBR q=2 (about 192 bps on average). I always thought LAME VBR q=2

Maybe anyone can give me some links about testing results of mp3Lame and Vorbis on hi bitrate (192 or >)? Cos i can find only ~128 =[[ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- SaSHa SHokovic E-mail: sh0ck@delfi.lt IRC: SH0x @ QuakeNet ICQ: 67504461 .+-j!i0+:)rhZm1hNrybXuz/-*arj) '+a{ +v&{ay,rR{.n+z,z{m^+-)emw

I am writing a long-run sound recording application using OggVorbis. The user can adjust sound quality parameter to make balance between storage space and sound quality. The input sound is 22050Hz, mono. To maximize the recording capability on a given storage volume, we want the result bitrate as low as possible. I use -q0 parameter and it produces a 32.0kbps stream. It is too high (our

I'm still looking for a P2P network (i.e. Gnutella, KaZaA, etc.) and client that actively supports the OGG format. People have told me that since Gnutella is so flexible that it is also possible to trade .ogg files. In reality, I haven't seen a single client using the Gnutella network that could search and truly FIND an .ogg file. Does anyone know of a network or specifically, a client

hello there, I just started using ogg files. And want to thank you all for this new format. I have written an addon for mirc (chatclient for irc chat networks) to play and exchange soundfiles and I am almost done with implementing the ogg vorbis format into this application. The mirc-scriptinglanguage provides me a command to read a specified number of bytes starting at a specified location of

Hi folks, We're gearing up to the next full release of the Vorbis codec; I've just tagged a release candidate in SVN in order to encourage wider testing toward final 1.1 release. This release includes the following updates: 1) Adoption of AoTuV and other tuning work by Vorbis developers outside of Xiph into the mainline codebase 2) New bitrate management code 3) bugfixes In more

Hi, maybe this is of interest for someone out there. I found that taking the difference between an original sample and its decoded Vorbis counterpart is a cool way to mangle sounds (especially voice samples get a nice weird touch :] ). A side effect is that the result is not only exactly what information the encoder omits, it also contains things that it adds to the sample (artifacts). Leaving

Hello! I found a sample I can ABX successfully when encoded at 133.333 kbps.

Currently there is a jump from 11khz (at 22khz

Hi I made a CD-backup with cdparanoia | oggenc and I tried to use different values of -q listening to the effect by cdparanoia | oggenc -o - | mplayer -. The best quality was 8 -- why?
