similar to: Reducing the bitrate without recompressing

The last week, after 5 minutes of astonishment for the great compression ratio achieved by ogg (370MB wav of voice -> 14 MB OGG, 28 kbps without any perceivable and/or significant quality loss), I had the idea of use ogg to stream my voice, in order to chat in almost-realtime with a friend (only one, of course: I have a 56k modem). Here the idea: I put a streaming server on my machine (I

This mail depends upon the fact that I don't have a couple of good earphones ;-) I read in the site that q=6 is a very high quality, but does it contain perceivable differencies from the original? (for 95% of people, of course). I also found q=6 to produce files slightly bigger (1/10 bigger) than those produced with lame VBR q=2 (about 192 bps on average). I always thought LAME VBR q=2

Hi, I tried again with some other options. After finding http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-November/093793.html I deleted every ACL from the directory Maildir and I also assigned the group "mail" to it, recursively: OmniOS-Xeon:/tank/home/olaf/Maildir/.Generiche $ ls -lV total 903 drwxrwxrwx 2 olaf mail 2 Sep 27 23:47 cur

Dear Dovecot users, hello. I will merge two issues I have into a single email because they may be related. I used dovecot on a OmniOS server since 2014 (currently OmniOS r151014) with the following configuration (it shows 2.2.18 because I recently updated dovecot, skipping only the PostgreSQL plugin): # 2.2.18: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: SunOS 5.11 i86pc zfs mail_location =

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

RipTrax has just been modified to include support to OGG output file format (Ogg Vorbis); including comment fields for pertinent track/album information. You can download the latest version from this link: http://web2.airmail.net/jlundy/riptrax.htm If you are lacking a respectable playback tool for OGG files, try FreeAmp at: http://www.freeamp.org/ All feedback is welcome (please go easy on

('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Hello, I recently noticed that some of my vorbis-files are corrupt, and I'm sure they weren't before. I have no idea how this could happen. Now my question is: is this vorbis' fault or is it more likely that my (still present) Windows-Installation destroyed the data? (Or even worse: my harddisk's corrupt) The files are on

Hi, I have this idea: It can be useful to have for each frame two variables stored in bitstream that will hold information about starting and ending position of \"valid\" samples in the frame. With these additional information it will be possible to do simple editing (like cutting or concatenating two streams) without decompressing/recompressing at sample-granularity. Simple example

As far as I know, LAME is able to mantain the informations stored in some audio files in the lower frequencies, useful for a Dolby pro logic decoder to reproduce a surround sound. Is ogg able to do it?

Git version of the FLAC encoder prints error message: ERROR: Compression failed (ratio 1.xyz, should be < 1.0). Please contact the developers. in the following cases: a) recompressing from FLAC 1.2.1 (sometimes) b) encoding very short wav files (around 5k samples) c) encoding white noise test signal.

If I use flac with piped input it warns: FAILURE: Compression failed (ratio 495232,432, should be < 1.0). This happens for some files for one or more of the following reasons: * Recompressing an existing FLAC from a higher to a lower compression setting. * Insufficient input data (eg, very short files, < 10000 frames). * The audio data is not compressable (eg a full range white noise

R-developers, I have a binary R package built using R 2.14.1 that I would like to run on R 3.0.0. Unfortunately, the original source code is unavailable, so I cannot rebuild the package as R 3.0.0 requires. Is there a straight forward way of converting the package (.rdb, .rdx and .rds files) in the binary package from a 2.14.1 version to a 3.0.0 version without the source code (perhaps

Suppose I have a particular version of a largish compressed archive, most likely a .tgz or .tbz2, and that a remote machine has a newer, and only slightly different, version of the same archive, where most of the content hasn't actually changed much. I might attempt to obtain a copy of the newer archive by first copying my local older copy to the newer name as a file to update from. My

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all: I have a question which, maybe, could go to the Theora FAQ. How can I join two theora video files in one without recompressing them? Can I just join them one after the other, like with Ogg/Vorbis? I've created a front-end for Thusnelda and want to offer extra features not yet in other software. My idea is to do multithread compression

<PRAISE> First, thanks to everyone for their contributions to flac. It is obviously a significant piece of work with very good performance. For me, the open-source and anti-copy-protection principals of the project make it the best choice among lossless compressors even if there are closed-source projects with marginally better compression. I firmly believe that the open-source process

I just read some of the discussion on the list about 'bitrate peeling' and remembered an interview of Monty that I have read recently. In it he says that Vorbis uses MCDTs <sp> and that these are theoretically reversable. And now, I learn that theoretically we can use bitrate peeling to make smaller files from larger ones, and that leads to my question. Could I theoretically

Sorry for the attachment, but I do not know of another way to communicate the details of my proposed changes to the dev team. While writing RipTrax (a ripper + encoder program), I wanted to make all encoder DLLs dynamically linkable at runtime. I first check for the existence of the dll, open the library with Load Library and then do a GetProcAddress for each routine I plan to use. With the
