similar to: vbr / cbr / abr API calls

Hi, I'm experimenting with IceCast2, using DarkIce to generate the stream. I have found some peculiarities with the vorbis bitrates. In DarkIce, I call vorbis_encode_init() with about the following values: vorbis_encode_init( &vorbisInfo, 2, 44100, 96, 96, 96); which by all reasons should generate a 96 kb/s stream, as all max_bitrate, nominal_bitrate and min_bitrate are set to 96.

Hi All; If someone used speex and has experience with its settings, then who can help to explain the following: 1) When it is recommended to use VBR (vbr => true)? 2) If there relation between setting the vbr => true and the abr value (for example to be 0 or 1 or 10) and the relation between this value and abr (true / false). 3) Any relation between the quality value and the abr value?

Hi devs, I am developing winLAME, a frontend for LAME, and it also supports Ogg Vorbis decoding and encoding. I've got a question about the new API function vorbis_encode_init_vbr(). Do I have to call vorbis_encode_init() before to set the bitrate(s)? And what is a good default value for the "base_quality" parameter? I read on the mailing list that ABR use in Ogg Vorbis is not so

Hi, I'm experimenting with managed mode encoding with specifying maximum bitrate. I call: vorbis_encode_init( &vorbisInfo, 2, 44100, -1, 96000, 96000); to initialize the encoding. To my surprise, it seems the maxbitrate value of 96000 doesn't have an effect, the bitrate of the

First off, I don't even know if this is the right place to ask these kind of questions, but I haven't been able to find answers anywhere else, so 1. I have found that "pcmTotal * vorbisInfo->channels * 2" gives the uncompressed size of every ogg vorbis file I have used. What is a more robust way of getting the full uncompressed file size? 2. How do I read a certain amount of

Hi, It's a bit offtopic for this list, but you might be able to help. For libvorbis rc3, what is the correct bitrate parametrization for the call vorbis_encode_init()? For rc2, it worked calling it the following way: vorbis_encode_init( &vorbisInfo, 2, // two channels 44100, // 44.1kHz

Hello, I'm not quite sure if this is the right list for my questions, please excuse if it isn't. 1. While using vorbislib (Win2K/Borland C++ Builder 5), I'm getting reproducible floating point exceptions at lots of sample rate/bit rate combinations. For example, the original encoder_example.c, with just the initialization line changed to

Just in case my quotation causeed misunderstnaing... Forget about what I quoted before. Probably, by CBR, Monty meant ABR since CBR is stupidly patented and this is the reason why Vorbis has no CBR option. If you know this, it cannot be a problem but I see there is a question asking what is ABR in the mailing list. >On Thu 28 Jun 2001, 23:27:41 PDT, Monty (xiphmont@xiph.org)Wrote: >then

I want to display info about Ogg files to Windows users. The docs tell me how to distinguish CBR (nom=min=max bitrate), but how do I distinguish between ABR and VBR streams? When I created my Ogg files (with CDex) I set the 'quality'. Is there some way to read this from the Ogg file? Should I avoid calling the ov_bitrate function because it has to read through the whole stream?

Hello, I purchased the "CD Ripper 2" plugin for Winamp 3 and need help choosing an ogg encoding format. It seems I have the choice between VBR and ABR formatted oggs. I am familiar with VBR (variable bit rate) but not sure what ABR stands for? Is it possible/desirable to specify a bit rate when encoding oggs, or does the nature of the ogg format make use of varying bit rates?

Hi, Is there any difference between decoding of CBR or VBR streams in realtime in terms of CPU usage/cost? Are sample rates other than 44100Hz supported by Vorbis officially ? If it is supported, is it efficient to use them or is Vorbis specifically (or at the moment) optimized for 44100Hz ?

Hello! My name is Lars Quentmeier and I'm trying to write a theora-player. Video is already showing up, but unfortunately I can't get my Vorbis-Decoder to work correctly. Could you perhaps help me? My decoding function looks like this: int VorbisDecoder::getAudioData(char* audiobuf, int fragsize){ // single audio fragment audio buffering bool audiobufReady = false; int size=0; int

Hi guys, I'm using Opus for speech in wide-band mode (sampling rate 16000) and 20ms frames with signal type set to SIGNAL_VOICE. I have a few questions here: 1. When I choose VBR mode, the codec seems to choose the bitrate on its own. However, that seems to be an issue on mobile devices. In some cases, when I configure the bitrate to say 20kbps, I see that the outgoing codec bitrate at

For those of you not of the commit mailing list, I wanted to point out that monty has checked the fixed-point 'tremor' vorbis decoder into xiph.org cvs, under the usual (free) xiph license. This was developed for use in embedded devices, so if you've been waiting for an interger-only (no fpu) implementation, you might want to give it a try. The code is in the 'Tremor' cvs

Hi; In the Vorbis 1.1 release notes from July 7, 2004, Monty says "The 1.1 libvorbisenc allows setting the fixed reservoir size (in bits, defaulting to two seconds worth of requested bitrate) and 'hoarding' behavior (whether the encoder tends to keep the bit reservoir more full or more empty) as well as the other encoding heuristics available through the API of 1.0.1."

Hi, I've just got around to moving from version 1.0 to 1.0.1. Now when I run my program, at least on Windoze, (haven't tried Linux yet), I get an Access Exception on the ov_open. Nothing else has changed. All I did was replace the lib and dll files that are in the win32sdk zip and re-build all, so it's the same the project files for for both builds. Here the snippet of code that

Hi, Regarding to my previous question, I think I have found out from oggenc source code that the correct way to initialize encoding is: vorbis_encode_init_vbr (or vorbis_encode_setup_managed for cbr etc.) vorbis_encode_ctl (to turn off or use avg bitrate management) vorbis_encode_setup_init By this way, there is no problem with encoded stream. However, there is no documentation of the three

Just got around to compiling RC3 under beos and came across an anomaly when using managed bitrates. I haven't changed the code for the beos encoder but I now get double the bitrates so vorbis_encode_init(&vi,mediaFormat.u.raw_audio.channel_count,(long)mediaFormat.u.raw_audio.frame_rate , -1, 128000, -1); now gives me vorbis files that average around 325 - 350. Is this now the correct
