similar to: MP3 to OGG conversion

Hi there In the past, i have used lame to encode high quality mp3-files (vbr 1, bitrate ~ 192kbit). I tend to switch to ogg with Quality 4 or 5, but i noticed, that many ogg-files tend to produce too much high frequencies response. In many cases, this is very noticeable. For my opinion, i cannot accept this worse frequence reponse. I have used latest version of ogg (OggEnc v1.0, precompiled

Hi! I am very pleased with the progress that Ogg is making, expecially after I read the latest comparision tests on http://ff123.net/128test/instruct.html that put OGG on top aside with MPC. BUT the APPLAUD.WAV test case ( http://lame.sourceforge.net/download/samples/applaud.wav ) still produces **VERY** easily audible high-frequency artifacts when encoded with OGG RC3 up to q4.9 (!!!).

First of all, I'm using WinXP and love vorbis! :-) Since I just joined the mailing list, I figured I would answer the Winamp question. Winamp has different EQ algorithms - they have a "fast layer 2/3 EQ" option for mp3s, and they have a PCM EQ for all other formats (wma, ogg, etc.). While the mp3 EQ sounds ok, the PCM EQ (which gets applied to ogg files) is absolutely horrible. I

Hello, I've got a FreeBSD 6 machine running icecast2 and ices0streaming four different streams of mp3's. Now i have a need to stream the same content as either aac+ or ogg vorbis whichever would be easiest to set up and give the best quality. I want these new streams to handle both broadband and dialup users without sacrificing quality. My problem is i really really do not want to

Hello! I am about to buy a new computer, and because encoding/decoding .ogg files is the most processor intensive thing I intend to regularly do, I would like to know which is the "recommended" processor for real-time encoding (I record my favourite radio shows). TIA! Bye, Joane Lispton PS: I receive the FM radio stations through my cable (the one which brings me cable TV),

Generally speaking, I can say that Vorbis already has pretty good quality, better then MP3. Mode 6 (~350kbps) - sounds great, no high-frequency artifacts and no pre-echo in any of my 3 test cases (I use 3 tracks as pre-echo test cases: 1. castanets.wav from LAME homepage 2. drums from the begging of the song Metallica - The Small Hours and 3. bass guitar from the begging of the song Primus - My

In case there are any Debian developers around here, I wanted to point out message <20020828154322.GA15114@chulak.naquadah.org> on the debian-devel list this morning. Another Debian developer is proposing to submit an mp3->vorbis transcoding program for inclusion in Debian. I have objected to this on the grounds that the resulting vorbis files will sound like crap, and I have also pointed

Hai! I'm from Hungary, and my English is not so good. Excuse me! I'm using Linux Debian woody, with kernel 2.4.18 Now I try to encode my music files, that are in .wav format to .ogg format. I used to use the lame program to encode my music files to .mp3 format. I try it now on a Windows NT 4, and this 2 version: Lame version 3.92 MMX OggEnc v1.0 (libvorbis 1.0) I have a question, why is

Hello, I am interested in recording my LP's from my stereo to my computer and then burning to cd. If I understand right theres no way to save as oog and then burn ? Thanks NewbieMark

Hi, with the Lame MP3 encoder I reduce the amplitude of the input signal prior to encoding with the --scale option to prevent clipping that can be introduced due to resampling errors. Is Vorbis prone to this sort of clipping? <p>Headless --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a

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

Hello I had an idea about judging the quality of ogg vorbis (or any other lossy codec) I took a wave-file and encoded it to ogg. Then decoded ogg to wav and inverted it's phase. When mixing the original wav with the phase-inverted decoded ogg-file, any identic parts of compressed and uncompressed audio should be eliminated. Of course there's always a "rest" of sound because

Hello all, I wanted to ask some experienced users some settings about oggenc. 1. How can I setup oggenc so that I can DIRECTLY rip tracks off my audio cd? As we all know, audio cd doens't really have a file format that we can directly use. Do I HAVE to convert them to wav files then convert them to ogg files? 2. The options: -b -m -M with the bitrate of the audio file. If I set something

A friend of mine made the following comment in a discussion I had with him that on a website we adminster we should offer a) WAV or maybe shorten files b) Ogg as a decent reference lossy encoded version He's been trying to convince me that we should offer MP3 (in lieu of WAV) and possibly Ogg. The audio files are primarily vocals I am not a physics guy but his statements don't

Hi, I recently migrated from Windows to Linux. I´ve used Linux quite a bit in server-enviroments, but as a desktop I have very little experience. I am now looking for a tool to rip CD´s to Ogg with CDDA support. I´ve tried KonCD, but it lacks features and is abit buggy. Sure, I can use cdparanoia, rename the wav´s to the right names and then encode to ogg via oggenc. But since I use X I

Hello everyone, I'm a student at the Universtiy of Delaware, and will be soon starting some research on the effects of lossy audio compression on speech sounds. I will be preforming test with both mp3 and vorbis. First of all, if I use the '--ogg' switch to lame, does lame use GPSYCHO to encode the wave, or some other psychoacoustic model (perhaps one designed for

Hi Everyone, My first posting to the list. Longtime Ogg fan, have created many .oggs, but this is the first time needing help. I've been transferring CDs to Ogg files using crip. I've been in the process of setting up a bunch of mules to transfer my music collection to electronic format, but I've found an oddity: >bash$ oggenc -q 5 oddity.wav >Opening with wav

Hi all! I ran across another song that oggenc seems to have trouble to encode. The intro of U2:s "Grace" gets its right channel messed up by oggenc, even at the highest bitrate. Why is the bitrate only 218? Isn't that awfully little when asking for 320? Qualityflaws like these is the reason i prefer mp3 and mpplus today. But vorbis is getting better for every beta, so keep up the

Hello everyone! Please bear with me, I am a complete audio-newbie, and I apologise if I am asking a question that I should know. As most of you all know, DVD's have 5.1 audio, and I want to preserve that in my voribs files. So, to ask the question : Does it support Surround sound? Thank you very much!
