similar to: VBR vs ABR

Hi, Maybe this is documented somewhere, if so, please send me a link to the documentation. My question is: how to set up different (VBR, CBR, ABR) modes when calling the Ogg Vorbis API? Currently I do: CBR: ret = vorbis_encode_setup_managed( &vorbisInfo, getInChannel(), getOutSampleRate(),

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?

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?

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

Hello, I'm try to run speex on some ARM processor. I'd like to cut away some speex features including VBR, ABR and preprocessor while still supporting VAD/DTX. But I've found some puzzles in the source code regarding VAD as below, 1) there are VAD related codes in the source file preprocess.c. Will VAD still work If I don't use the source file preprocess.c? 2)The speex manual

Hi Marc, Thanks for your quick response. So if VAD is enabled then VBR will be enable although it's a special VBR. How about take out the VAD code from the VBR and remove the code else?

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with the ABR. I'm a developer of Mumble, a voicechat application for gamers, and up to now we've just used VBR quality to determine the bitrate. In an effort to make the resource requirements a little more determinable (and limitable) for hosting, I tried switching to ABR, as there doesn't seem to be a way to determine the absolute peak

Josh, Yes, you can change VBR quality or ABR average bitrate at any time. You don't need to do anything special. I use this feature (changing VBR quality midstream) from time to time and it's quite convenient.

Hi, I'm a newbie to audio compression. And I have several question about ogg. 1. How many bits a vorbis sample take ? does the sample size 16 bits ? like the mp3 ? CMIIW 2. How do a decoder recognize how many sample it takes in a second ? does it related with the code books ? 4. Does vorbis use VBR ? 3. What is function of the Windows ? and what is the output of the windows ? Thanks

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, Is there are document where the interaction between all the configuration options of speex is explained? Speex seems to have CBR, VBR and ABR. You can also use SPEEX_SET_QUALITY (SPEEX_SET_VBR_QUALITY) and SPEEX_SET_BITRATE which I suppose can't be set at the same time. Is there a list of possible combinations somewhere? I also have another question related to jitter. To minimize jitter,

Hi, I am looking how to setup speex codec in codecs.conf for 8 Kbps and 6 Kbps. In config file are many parameters for setting. I don't know what is need to change for narrowbad like 8 Kbps and 6 kbps. Any suggestion? [speex] ;0-10 quality => 4 ;0-10 complexity => 4 ; true / false enhancement => true ; true / false vad => false ; true / false vbr => false ; 0 = off, otherwise,

Jean-Marc and others, We are using Speex inside our Video Conferencing application and have some questions about the trade-off of complexity vs bitrate. A little background information is needed: 1. For us the actual bit-rate isn't that big a deal. Speex running at 14kbps or 8 kbps is minor compared to the video traffic running at 128, 256 or 384 kbps. 2. We care a little about

Dear All, I like to simulate a physiologically based pharmacokinetics model using R but am having a problem with the daspk routine. The same problem has been implemented in Berkeley madonna and Winbugs so that I know that it is working. However, with daspk it is not, and the numbers are everywhere! Please see the following and let me know if I am missing something... Thanks a lot in advance,

Jean Marc, So assuming the quality setting was set as high as possible, and the audio stream was 8000 hz, 16 bit mono, I have two follow up questions: 1. Does the complexity setting override the quality setting, or does increasing the complexity only lower the rate at a given quality? Or would setting both higher increase the quality more? 2. What sort of impact would setting quality as high as

Hi. I'd like to ask a little about where Ogg stands today when it comes to streaming audio. The VBR has been the main argument in the incompatibility for streaming but has this changed somehow or will it? Is there something else besides quick and large scaled bandwith usage variations and the difficulty of buffering, that could cause problems? CBR could be used but some people say that it

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before; I've looked through the archives and haven't seen anything. The problem I'm seeing is that oggenc's VBR encoding doesn't seem to pay attention to any sort of bitrate limitation, either the -m or bitrate_hard_min settings. It isn't that it temporarily dips below the minimum; the average for the whole (in this case,
