Not much more to say, thanks a lot to all developers for your hard work! I have no chance to reach vorbis.com (CVS works, slowly ;) ), I take that as a very good and promising sign. <p>Moritz --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org'

Hi! Inspired by the discussion about mixing Vorbis streams and so on I came to the question whether Vorbisstreams can be, just like MP3, reencoded without further loss. As I heard, and I am pretty sure that it's true, MP3 files can be decoded and reencoded unlimited times without further quality loss (of course the same encoder with the same preferences has to be used all the time). Is this

Hi! Propably a stupid question, but where can I get those brandnew encoders from? It'd be great if someone could post those URLs to the list for people like me who don't read any forums (no time, no fun :P). Thanks in advance! Obtw, CVS would be fine, too ... but as long as the new code isn't merged to the main branch I feel pretty lost searching for it. Any help here would also be

Hi, it seems that vorbis.com is down (DNS lookups fail). Are there any other up-to-date sites that offer binary downloads and do not refer to vorbis.com?

Which DSP are you running to feed your stream? (on winamp I am assuming) If you are using the new shoutcast 1.8.2 DSP, it has had a lot of problems with super high CPU load and memory leaks. Try Oddcast instead (unless you can run ices or darkice) using VBR Mp3 streaming. Nothing but happy times here on a win2k dual p2 333 with winamp (2.74) and Oddcast DSP Beta 25 connected to KasterBlaster

Hi, <p>John Zitterkopf sent a mail to his beta-testers and registered users about the "Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act" containing this link: http://www.vanshardware.com/articles/2002/03/020325_CBDTPA/020325_CBDTPA.htm Although I'm not an American, I find it quite interesting and disturbing, which is why I want to share it to the list. I think it might

In all the abx'ing and ear testing I've done in the past for my classical and jazz music I have never seen or heard bladeenc output worse than xing. (worse than lame, yes) Now, to sorta keep this ON topic. I have never heard a an xing, blade OR lame encoded mp3 sound better than a Garf tuned RC2 encode of my Jazz and Classical stuff, (not a large sample set). Also, I haven't used

Hi! On March 17th I posted a message on this list concerning an artifact bug in beta4 that is audible in all available bitrates. It was this rumbling sound in the bass area. I made a demo clip, which still is available at http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~us87/ogg/vorbis_bassrumble_demo.rar and that contains both the original .WAV and an .OGG @ 350kbps. This archive is 2.1 MB large. Today, I

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

Hi! While vorbisizing our web site, I also wrote an information page about OGG Vorbis in order to help our visitors to both understand what OGG is all about and learn how to (easily) play our and others .ogg files. Since English is not my native language, I could use some help/feedback/proofreading on that page. What I want in the end is understandable, plain English (that can also be understood

Where do I go and what do I download to enable Ogg Vorbis Playback with Windows Media Player? I found something on sourceforge.net but at the top it says Current (Test and development files; these can damage your whole DirectShow system and probably requires a complete Windows reinstallation) o I don't want to do that, I want to make sure I pick the right thing first ;)

Hi! While writing a bug report to the Sonique authors, I also thought it might be useful to ask for a better handling of the OGG Vorbis comment tags. This lead me to the question on what could be included in the comments at all, since custom tags are allowed. The idea was, for example, to write whole song lyrics into the .OGG or maybe even a small story about how the weather was when the song

Hi! Today, I found an encoding bug with a new tune by me. http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/~us87/ogg/vorbis_bassrumble_demo.rar (2.1MB) contains the original .WAV in 16bit/44.1kHz and an .OGG encoded at 350kbit/s. I found the bug when listening to the 128kbit/s version, but encoding it with that high bitrate didn't change a thing. The deep bassdrum contains a rumbling, knocking sound (the first

Uaaargh ... between now and the last mail, everything's gone kaploohey. But I doubt that it concerns icecast too much in this case - the streaming computer has a cpu load of 90-100% for no reason (it's an athlon 1ghz with only winamp and ssh and the system monitor running under win98). The playback on the streaming computer sounds good, though, but what reaches the client side is no more

Thanks for the help, I can have people connect that are still on my local network at school. People outside of it always get timed out..

Hi, <p>here's my €0.02 on that topic. First of all, all those new tags are total overkill to be standardized. They're only useful for people who both tag OGG files for a living and listen to classical music only. Imagine what will happen when the Jazz fans, and the Techno fans, and the Rock fans and who knows else demands his very own, customized + standardized set of tags. And

Hi! FYI, the web site http://www.kolabore.de/ where we offer our own music is now completely vorbisized. :-) Because of the many releases we switched from direct download links to a simple database/cgi, so if you stumble over any problems, please let me know!
