Hello all, When I drag the Oggdrop window and pull it around, it disappears from my desktop - it's still visible on the tray, though. Anybody else noticed that? (I'm using RC2 oggdrop from vorbis.com, under Win2K SP2) -- Cheers, _____________________________ SyP (_Szabolcs Péter PGP Key ID: _____________________)ICQ# 69968772 0x098AEC13 --- >8 ----

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

I've had this problem encoding oggs where the output file is small, like 24kbytes for a 4 minute song (tested at 128 and 160kbit). I'm running Windows 2000 and this has happened in oggenc, oggdrop, and CDEX, though I've also been able to get good encodings with each of these. I think the only clean encodings have been .wav's that I've made myself with SoundForge or CoolEdit,

Hello all, I created today a fake stereo piece of music (the left and right channels were completely equal), and encoded it with the all the modes the RC2 encoder supports, and found that: * * dual * waste * waste * * mode * joint * stereo * in * in % * * * stereo * /2 * kbits * of JS *

Hi! I heard many things over ogg, but all what i can see is shit. O.K. The oggdrop.exe play with me, have this tool a version number? I can't see it. Every other tool don't run under my system (Win98; Athlon1,5GHz; 768MB RAM). For example every version of oggenc produce the error: "OGGENC.EXE kann nicht ausgef?hrt werden"! There are a german mailing list? An how can i register

oggenc -b 128 -d 1985 -N 01 -t "Black Planet" -l "First and Last and Always" -a "Sisters of Mercy" track01.cdda.wav egs in free in simple_utf8_encode. I tracked it down to a mis-calculated buffer size for malloc. I've attached the patch that fixes it (for me:). The only problem I have with the rest of the code is figuring out how the terminating 0 (null,

First let me say that I was absolutely astounded at the sound quality when using oggenc at q = -1 (around 50 kbps). So much so, that I'm anxious to try some of the lower bit rates that were mentioned in the announcement for 1.0: ... audio and music at fixed and variable bitrates from 16 to 128 kbps/channel. But I am having trouble finding how to use either oggdrop or oggenc to get these

Hello, is somebody working on a good low-sampling rate / low-bitrate mode? I encoded today a mono/16KHz/16bit WAV (a TV-talkshow), using OggDrop. The quality of the '64kbps' mode was unacceptable, so I had to use '80kbps' mode. The bitrate averages around 42 kbps, which I found a bit high for this quality. In your opinion, what bitrate should I expect as Vorbis matures? 24 kbps?

I've tried 3 times to drop a 250kb wav file on oggdrop, and oggdrop crashes each time. Is this too large of a file for oggdrop? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/vorbis/attachments/20060211/663a007d/attachment.html

Hello vorbis-developers, I found that the start of "Patrick Bruel: Trois ans et demi d'amour" causes a serious clipping artifact (~ a tenth second long) in the left channel. It happens with oggenc and oggdrop too, but only in the 128, 160 and 192 kbps modes. I have uploaded a FLAC-encoded sample to http://www.detim.hu/~syp/Vorbis/PatrickBruel.flac Sorry if this has been solved

<LET OBJECT=STEAM DIRECTION=OFF> Here is an improved WAVE file loader for oggenc/oggdrop : int load_wave(char * filename,void * buffer) { fprintf(stderr,"unsupported WAVE file format !\n"); return -1; } It has the same functionality as the current code, but is shorter, has less ( zero ? ) bugs, is easier to maintain etc. </LET> I created a RIFF/WAVE ( commonly known

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

A friend of mine recently had a problem with a "broken" .WAV file (as you call them) because oggenc first printed out a warning and then didn't accept the file because of a "unexpected EOF error". Because I was interested in the issue, I decided to take a look at the oggenc source, and in fact, it is your .WAV reader that's wrong. More precisely: there are two version

I compared quicktime aac and vorbis,i think quicktime aac is better than vorbis at 80Kbps. please tell me if i'm wrong. using command: qtaacenc.exe --tvbr 31 --highest --samplerate keep test.wav qt.m4a oggenc2.exe --raw -q 1.6 test.wav -o vorbis.ogg the version: qtaacenc version 20100725 with QuickTime 7.6.7 OggEnc v2.87 (libvorbis 1.3.1) links:

If anyone is interested, I smushed the less than 0 quality rate setting into oggdrop. The diff is below.

Have you considered trying to have FLAC become an official part of the Ogg project? Ogg has Vorbis but no lossless codec, and FLAC is already production quality. You've already written the code to wrap FLAC in an Ogg bitstream. Ogg Squish seems to be abandoned, and it would be a grand waste of effort to revive it when FLAC already works so well. The Ogg people would be much better off

I am considering using OGG for sending mono files across the net. OGG sounds great and I like the philosophy. But when I compress a mono file using OGGDROP or OGGENC Beta4, I can only get compression ratios of about 3:1. If I take the original mono file and convert it to stereo, then encode it, I can get a compression ratio of about 10:1. So the final encoded file for stereo is actually smaller

This is the first time I have gotten to the point of wanting to submit code to (what I would consider) a major project. Specifically, I have made a small change to oggenc/audio.c. I will explain the change if necessary, but that us not the purpose of this post. Primarily, I want to know how to submit changes? Mail it to someone? Via CVS commit? If CVS, how do I get access? Also, I
