similar to: Ogg Vorbis files can be compressed ?!?

Hi all, Yes, it's true. A new version of rehuff, the tool that losslessly compresses Vorbis files: one that is easy to compile, and that works with newer-than-two-years-ago streams, too! On 1.0 streams, you get about 3% size reduction, and the headers get _much_ smaller (which helps for fast-start network streams). Building it should be easy (you might have to add some -I and -L for

Hiya, Here is the sources to my "rehuff" program. ./rehuff in.ogg out.ogg does a lossless recoding of a vorbis stream. (It generates optimal huffman codes for the particular stream). This code is meant for developers only, until someone is kind enough to provide good build and configure support for it. I won't. And no installation help questions please. There is a little patch

[snip] What if, at least for Windows, someone wrote a simple application which when associated with .ogg files and an .ogg file was opened simply read enough of the ogg stream to identify the type of content and then

Hi. I have been working on a tool whose goal is to reduce the bit rate of theora video by decoding to DCT coefficients, reducing the entropy of the coefficients, and re-tokenizing the stream. I have successfully used the decoder source to extract the DCT coefficients for each block, and I am able to capture any and all relevant information about where the block of coefficients falls in the

Hello ! A question to all 'Wheel-reinventers': I can build the huffmantrees by hand (on paper) but how to code it? Are there any good URLs out there? Or does the spec supply sufficient information? I tried figure out how oggdec (debugging) does this, but I couldn't get the clou. Thank you Dominik --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project

No offense, Segher, but the output quality of this thing is awful. =) I'll disregard the fact that, at least with *my* compiler, the source tarball I downloaded reduces every packet to zero bytes, which isn't terribly interesting. I decided to set the byte reduction to something constant: I started by dividing each packet's size by 2 just to see what would happen. The resulting ogg

Hi, After a quick read of the Theora spec, I became curious about the possibility of fast quality reduction of Theora videos. The idea is to decode through the Huffman and reverse prediction steps, and then to truncate the coefficients and reencode. My questions are: * Is this a reasonable way to reduce the quality and bitrate of a stream? Will it be comparable in quality to a complete

Hello all, I've been working a little inside the Theora decoder when I found that it seems that many videos had the very same huffman tables encoded into their bitstreams (at least the ones that I could take my time to dissecate). I found that the tables are listed as TH_VP31_HUFF_CODES in the file huffenc.c. I tried to investigate a little bit more to see who was setting the bitstream

Hello, I am a computer engineering student and compression hobbyst and have recently developed a new entropy coding algorithm. It can be used to achieve compression proper of arithmetic coders at very high speeds -almost like Huffman codecs-. Since it could be of interest to you, I send it as an attachment -code and technical report-. Please, drop me a line in case you have any doubt or

WinRAR (ver 3.x) cannot create russian filenames on Samba shares - it got error: cannot create ????.rar Access is denied. But it can successfully create filename, contains only english characters. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1407 Anybody has the same problem? Thanks a lot!

I took 5 albums (Classical music) and converted them to Ogg Vorbis at "Full Bitrate" (-q10) and all 5 directories take up about 775 Megs which won't fit on a CD. So I ripped them again in WAV first (And give my friend back his CDs) but now I wanna know what quality setting should I use to fit them on 1 CD (The highest possible with total space used just under 700 Megs)

We've implemented a vorbis decoder based on Tremor and as part of the documentation we're also writing about psycho acoustic models and encoding. We're quite up to date with the decoding process and psycho acoustics in general but unfortunately not on the psycho acoustic encoding used in Vorbis. We have a few questions that would we would be very thankful to have answer to: Which

Hi all, I have to compare the theora codec with MPEG and H264. I was googling and I found that the PSNR is a common used parameter. How can I do this with Theora?

Hi all, [For the uninitiated: a "peeler" is a program that transforms a Vorbis stream into a smaller, (somewhat) lower quality Vorbis stream, and does so quickly, by just throwing out some data.] After having prototyped several peelers that aim to peel to a certain filesize, or to a certain quality, with mixed success, I've now taken a different route: a peeler that aims for the

I must compress some thousands of very small WAV samples. I compressed them with OGG and got a very strange result: uncompressed WAV size is 1 kb, and compressed OGG size is 3 kb. (I tried a minimal quality settings (--managed -m 16 -M 16 -b 16)) Is this a bug, or OGG file header is so huge? Is there any way to compress such a small files? Thanks. --- >8 ---- List archives:

Actually, people have implemented perfectly valid Vorbis encoders and decoders before the specification was even published. I wouldn't go so far as to call other
