similar to: Poor quality of low bitrate encoding

The last few threads have really been interesting. Technologies that are currently on the market are MP3, RealAudio, and Windows Media (pre-version8). Technologies currently in progress or just shipped are Ogg Vorbis and mp3pro. I don't think anyone has mentioned TwinVQ on this list. While exploring alternatives to MP3 (which is when I also found Vorbis), I noticed TwinVQ. I encoded

At SxSW I ran into the Xiph gang and someone said something in passing that the new version of Ogg Vorbis would have much-improved low-bitrate quality. Wondering - true? Details? ETA? At CD Baby all lo-fi soundclips are still in the SFERA format*. At 20k bitrates, they sound GREAT which is why I stick with it, but I'd much rather switch them ALL over to OGG if there was a way to make

I'm trying to convice a webmaster to start offering Vorbis in addition to his current RealAudio 3(GAH!) web streams. I was just wondering what the status on the RealOne/Helix DNA plugin was so I could include it in a letter I'm going to be sending him today. <p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe

Hey y'all -- I heard some discussion a while back about "bitrate stripping" to reduce filesize without re-encoding ... has this gone anywhere?

Hello, how good is the quality with very low bitrates like 16kbps mono. 16 kbps files compressed with lame sound awful, realaudio is much better. Will vorbis sound as good as realaudio with low bitrates? How fast is vorbis (in comparison to lame).

Can someone who really knows the Ogg command-line encoder, help recommend the best setting for 33.6k modem stereo music streaming? (56k doesn't count cuz many people's 56k modems don't work at a full 56k, and I want them to be able to surf CD Baby at the same time as listening. 2 minutes / 120 seconds of audio should be about 400k.) I'm at my wit's end: tried everything I

I just joined this list, so I'm not sure how many of you are already aware of this. KPFA is a 59,000 watt free speech community radio station in Berkeley, California that has been on the air since 1949. They were the first listener sponsored radio station in North America, paving the way for many other community stations across the U.S. and around the world. KPFA was one of first signals to

I currently utilize Icecast on my website, but I am looking for the same kind of functionality as I get with realaudio server when I stream static content - namely, the ability to seek, show the time remaining, etc, especially with Vorbis audio. I realize the intent of Icecast is to serve mainly live, streaming content (or at least radio-style content), but I utilize it mostly for streaming

Hello. I've made some progress on the issue. I found a tool called TrPlayer which is a text mode front end for real player - initially developed for the use of the visually impaired. The theory is that I can use this and pipe the live stream into vsound which then in turn is passed into ices or another source client. Trouble is, I'm having all sorts of trouble compiling Trplayer on the

My previous message (http://mailman.ds9a.nl/pipermail/lartc/2004q2/012285.html) didn''t generate any replies, so I thought I''d try posting what I''ve done trying to solve my own problem, in hopes that someone will take pity and show me if/where I''m going wrong. Just to recap, I''m trying to accomplish this on my server, which streams RealAudio files

Hi ! I have a single host which is connected via an 512kbit ADSL link to the n= et. I quite often use some realaudio application that uses some bandwidth = and I want to avoid other traffic to scale that bandwidth down. So I used = some classes (with htb) on imq0 device and applied some filters and it see= ms to work in most cases. However, there are some sites with which downloa= d is

Well more specifically I want to transcode a realaudio stream into mp3 on the same machine and on the command line only - reliably! Following up, I managed to compile the trplayer using a substitute __pure_virtual function compiled with extern "C" (without it the function name was being mangled by g++) by now trplayer runs and exits without warning, error or success... the funny thing

In the notes for 2.3.0 it says that IceCast can function as a RealAudio/Helix server. Does this mean that it does the quality negotiation as well, ratcheting the bitrate up and down if it needs to? Or am I reading this all wrong? Thanks. -- //// Jason M. SULLIVAN jsullivan@nc.rr.com |c-oo http://www.jason0x21.org \_- "That's not music,

I thought this might be interesting to you, it's an extract from the latest streaming media newsletter, I was intrested to note that MS are claiming cd quality audio at 48kbps whichi is obviously very low, I didn't think much of it at first because nobody uses MS codecs for audio anyway! However (a bit I missed off this quote by the look of it) I then read mention of portable audio players

dear vorbis developers, it would be very useful, if oggenc would support constant low-bandwith bitrates for testing. something from 20kbps to 44kbps, so anyone could test streaming over modem and isdn. audio quality doesn't matter. mörk --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to

I have a Gentoo Linux (kernel 2.6.11) server. Several months ago, I made a traffic shaping setup for my box (running a 2.4 kernel then) that worked beautifully. It gave high priority to SSH and RealAudio traffic, and put HTTP downloading traffic on a lower prio so they could only use what bandwidth was left. However, I''ve only just realized that tc is no longer accepting the commands I

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey Gang, I figured this is a frequently asked question, however it is not in the faq. i am wondering the lowest possible bit-rate to stream ogg at. is this an ogg limitation or is this dependent on the streaming server. Thanks in advance, (please reply to me too as i am not on the list.) <p>- -------------------------------------- Jeff
