It's technically good at streaming for broadcasters because, if it encodes something simple, it drops the bitrate and therefore our costs. And it sounds great too, but you wanted technical reasons... ! By the way, Virgin Radio UK's broadband streams are now proper stereo, instead of the suspicious mono-sounding version you had for the past few weeks - so if you want your non-technical

A large group 64kbps listening test has just come to an end, organised through the Hydrogenaudio[1] audio discussion board (and managed expertly by Roberto Amorim). Eight codecs were tested on twelve different samples, designed to cover a wide range of musical genres. The codecs tested were[2]: * Ahead/Nero 6.0.0.15 HE AAC VBR profile Streaming * Ogg Vorbis post-1.0 CVS -q 0 * MP3pro (from

Hello, I'm seeking advice here as I'm intend in the not to distant future to start encoding my CD collection, and I'm not sure what to use. Do I use the still current v1.0, or am I better off using a newer build? Also, I've started to notice mention of versions 1.0.1 and 1.1 in these mailing lists. Are these worth holding out for? I'll probably encode at about Q7, and am using

Well, this question comes once and again. I have RC3 and Garf's RC2 tuned versions (160 and 350) in a nice graph. Nobody should be surprised that RC3 is better, but in some cases GRC2 shows better EAQUAL/bitrate results. There seems to be room for improvement in RC3 with some tweaking. See it by yourself at http://audio.sinderman.com/ Cheers, AGS.

Hello: Does anyone know if Garf's tunings have been integrated into CVS yet? I am waiting for that before upgrading.

Hi folks, We're gearing up to the next full release of the Vorbis codec; I've just tagged a release candidate in SVN in order to encourage wider testing toward final 1.1 release. This release includes the following updates: 1) Adoption of AoTuV and other tuning work by Vorbis developers outside of Xiph into the mainline codebase 2) New bitrate management code 3) bugfixes In more

Hi. I think that the vorbis team should use this version of OggDrop RC3 as the official OggDrop RC3, because the menu interface is easier to use (& you can see what kind of mode you have chosen). http://www.inf.ufpr.br/~rja00/BQoggdropC1.zip See this thread for more info: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=4683 <p>I only have one problem now: what

Hi (hope I am in the right mailing list!) I really can't figure out how to use Vorbisgain in OggdropXPd - it doesn't seem to work so far. Can Someone pls. explain detailed (steps) what to do when using Vorbisgain in OggdropXPd? I understand the settings for Vorbisgain are in "decoding options"... why? What I really want is the function of Mp3Gain on Ogg-files, and I thought

hello celt developers. im just wondering if its possible to compile celt codec for windows? if so, could someone point me in the right direction? thanks.

Hello all I have been encoding to OGG as a default for well over a year, but I recently thought I ought to test how it sounds compared to other codecs. I got the Windows Media 9 encoder and I was quite surprised at how bad a job OGG did at quality 0 with a simple piano clip, and how well WMA9 was - I've always considered WMA as being a bit naff, but WMA9 has forced me to re-access this view

Dropping the other topic as requested, I'd like to follow something up in a new thread. I want to throw a question or two out there and see what responses people give (if any ;-). Assuming that you think Vorbis could have developed faster than it has done in the past year, what in your opinion has been holding it back and what remedies do you suggest? Speaking for myself, I think that it

Alright folks, here's the solution. 1) Keep extensions to 3 letters for audio & video. Except for special situations where the user might be doing a codec specific name. Since the official extensions are 3 letters, those can always be used on any 8.3 device. 2) introduce a new extension .OGV for ogg container video. With a strong preference for Xiph only codecs. (If you want 3rd

I remember hearing that there was a sound quality issue which boosted high frequencies by 1 or 2dB in Vorbis files at less than q6 or so.

Hi, I have downloaded Vorbis and played with it, and I have downloaded Speex but not yet played with it. My understanding is that Vorbis is targetted at high-quality audio (music) while Speex is targetted at speech quality audio (telephoney and such). So I have two questions to ask the group: 1. Which would your experiences show is the better codec for recording high quality speech such

Hi, Was wondering if any gurus could tell me if it is possible to stream Ogg on very low bandwidth links (for example satellite phone) where the expected bandwidth would almost certainly be less than 19Kbps, and probably more like 10Kbps. I am not after great audio at this bitrate, mono with an audio bandwidth less than 5KHz. I have done some testing (not streaming though) listening to 8Kbps MP3

Hi! I am very pleased with the progress that Ogg is making, expecially after I read the latest comparision tests on http://ff123.net/128test/instruct.html that put OGG on top aside with MPC. BUT the APPLAUD.WAV test case ( http://lame.sourceforge.net/download/samples/applaud.wav ) still produces **VERY** easily audible high-frequency artifacts when encoded with OGG RC3 up to q4.9 (!!!).
