similar to: compressed audio tutorial - 2nd draft

I've made a large update to the introduction to compressed audio. I completely rewrote the first section, which I wasn't happy with. It now features two diagrams (worth 1000 words each!), and is broken up into a couple of sections. http://cs.leander.isd.tenet.edu/~mitchell/vorbis_intro.html I have also continued to tweak other sections based on feedback from email and this forum.

On <http://cs.leander.isd.tenet.edu/~mitchell/vorbis_intro.html>: "Each snapshot has a 16-bit number for the "loudness" of the sound, meaning that the scale is fairly fine-grained - it ranges from -32,768 (complete silence during that snapshot) to 32,767 (the loudest volume measurable)." That's not correct. A single sample is not meaningful by itself; each sample

Hello. The page http://www.vorbis.com/faq.psp (last faq) and http://cs.leander.isd.tenet.edu/~mitchell/vorbis_intro.html both state that it's possible to lower the bitrate of an existant ogg enc file without reencoding. Where does this feature exists? oggenc only likes wav files as input, how can I feed it an .ogg file and get a lower bitrate in a new one? -- Grzegorz Adam Hankiewicz

Many of you have read and my "introduction to compressed audio with Vorbis" and given me excellent feedback. But with 1.0 about to hit the streets, I figured I'd freshen it up a bit. [ http://grahammitchell.net/writings/vorbis_intro.html ] In particular, it contains two paragraphs discussing the relative quality of Vorbis vs mp3 at a certain target bitrate. These figures seem

This idea is so simple that I'm sure it must have been thought of before, and discarded, since AFAIK it's not used anywhere. I did a quick web search but that didn't turn up much, so I figured I'd put it up for discussion here anyway. How about using large-scale repetition in audio compression? I'm thinking of redundancy in repeated pieces of a song, ie a chorus.

Basically, it was pointed out on the linux audio dev (LAD) mailing list that numerous programs were using plugin architectures and all were different. So they fleshed out a plugin API and the rest, as they say,

Hey all. Two topics: First, I teach Computer Science at the high school level at a largish school near Austin, Texas.

Hello everyone, I would like to bring to your attention the new website that I have been working on. It is a portal for articles, links, and support for everything related to Ogg Vorbis. It just started and hopefully will be evolving rapidly. http://www.ogghelp.com I have modeled it after the group of successful Help pages such as http://VCDHelp.com and DVDHelp.com. I've been

Hi everyone, first of all, I searched through the archives for any posts resembling this, I didn't read all posts about the patents so if this has been suggested before I apologise. I read in an article on C|Net (I think, it was linked from Slashdot anyway) that Thompson are threatening to sue you if Ogg Vorbis becomes a success. Which is evil, and I'm also mad at them because they never

first, congrats to monty and the whole crew for getting this close to 1.0. it's a monumental achievement reflecting a huge amount of hard work -- kudos! econd, i know the bitrate peeling feature has been pushed back until after 1.0 is out. but i'm wondering -- will oggs created with a 1.0 encoder be peelable with an as-yet-unreleased utility, or do "peelable oggs" have to be

Hi: I want to stream audio from my soundcard, but I'd like to apply some dynamic compression to it first (ala winamp's audiostocker plus shoutmuxer thingy). I heard rumours of compression in liveice, but Iv'e been told that this only works when it plays from prerecorded MP3, not the live input. I'd like to do this with darkice, but can't see how it could be done. I guess

One of your users, "nizar_lethif" is subscribed to the [vorbis] and [vorbis-dev] mailing lists at xiph.org. His mailbox is full. Any time anyone posts a message to either of these lists, nizar_lethif is sent a copy (as expected), which bounces because his mailbox is full (also as expected). The problem is that the bounce message is sent to the *person who posted to the list*
