I was just trying to build the shared lib stuff and include it into RC4 of FreeAmp 2.1 today, but I found that the .def file for the vorbis build stuff is missing and therefore no .lib file is generated. Is there a reason for that, or is it just an omission? In any case, I will hold off on the latest and greatest vorbis stuff in FreeAmp until next week.... --ruaok Freezerburn! All else

Hi, I am interested in helping out with the project. What tasks are on the TODO list? I am one of the lead developers of the FreeAmp (www.freeamp.org) project so obviously I will create a decoder plugin for our player but I would also like to help out with the Vorbis CODEC itself. elrod --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/

Hello: I don't usually post requests like this to mailing lists, but I've just about run out of other options. The vorbis.org and vorbis.com sites both make mention of a beta vorbis output plug-in for freeamp, but I'm blowed if I can find it anywhere. It's definitely not in the vorbis.com download section (unless it's been placed their within the last 24 hours or so), and

OK, into the nitty-gritty, albeit a high-level version. If it sounds like I'm glossing important details, you're right. This discusses only the basic DSP; precise coding, framing, sync, etc, will be in another mail. Vorbis is a hybrid transform domain general purpose audio encoder, like MPEG in some respects (it is rooted in much of the same basic theory). For the most part, the

Speaking of Metadata, how's work going on the definition? Looking back at the list archives, there seems to be a semi-plan to use Robert Kay's DTD from http://www.cdindex.org/dtd/TrackInfo.dtd, but I'm conserned that it's too specialized for video and we'll end up having a special case for audio-only files. There are a couple of general issues here. Micheal Smith suggested on

Hi! I've spent the last few nights digging into the Vorbis source and working to implement a vorbis_synthesis_pcmout_int() function that kicks out interleaved int16_t pcm data. I think its important to have this function available to make the job for people using the codec a little easier. This function abstracts out the conversion to int16_t and removes the extra overhead of moving the pcm

Will there be an ogg picture format as well ? Would be nice.. Would be great with an open-source pic format with alpha-channel, layers, fx, etc. :) .. btw, http://burnallgifs.org/ about those tags i talked about in the prev post, some better names would maybe be 'NEXTGAPLESS' and 'THISGAPLESS' or something like that :) Gerry --- >8 ---- List archives:

Now that a few folks of the appropriate technical background are listening (and that a couple more I'm expecting to join in a bit can grab this message from the archive), it seems prudent to start talking about where Vorbis is and what it needs. I'll assume at this point everyone knows what Vorbis is; stop me if I'm wrong ;-) More of the code is complete than the web pages might

Hi, I need a psychoacoustics model for some experiments and would like to use the one included in vorbis. Is there any documentation about how to use it? Looks like the relevent code is in psy.c, but I can't go further. Also I would like to know whether I can be of any help in vorbis. I have some knowledge in speech coding (I doing my master at the University of Sherbrooke's speech

I've got a bug pending for FreeAmp right now where the vorbis metadata plugin does not handle international characters right. The comments that are returned from vorbis_comment_query() are in UTF-8, but FreeAmp is ISO 8859-1. I've been looking for a UTF-8 --> ISO 8859-1 converter that is available for inclusion in a GPL/LGPL program and is reasonably small. There are many full blown

BTW, I need a volunteer to upgrade xiph.org to MailMan or the like. I'm officially sick to death of majordomo.

Hi all, While reading through various bits of libvorbis and vorbisfile, and then thinking about how to implement other features in the xmms and winamp plugins, I had some thoughts... Vorbisfile is very useful, and very easy to use. It is, however, tied to stdio - which means you can't use it for lots of other stuff where it'd be useful - like streaming, or (under win32) avoiding stdio

I've come full circle on the Ogg text stream format, back to arbitrary associated xml streams. What's changed? Mostly rolling the requirements around in my head, and weighting them differently. I think we've dealt with the complexity issue; this functionality can be optional for "dumb" audio players, and possibly also for dumb video players, though there it's a smaller

Having not been reading the list regularly for the past few months, I've been reading through for the past few days trying to catch up. I was wondering what the current state of Vorbis metadata was. Has anything been agreed upon as far as how metadata is to be stored? It seems every time this was brought up before it turned into a large debate and nothing was ever resolved. Tony Arcieri

I've put together the first attempt to defining an RDF metadata vocabulary for use with the CD Index/MusicBrainz/OggVorbis. If you care about metadata issues, please take a look at: http://www.cdindex.org/MM I've included a section for video specific stuff, but everything that I originally had in there is being covered by the MM:Contributors section. The Contributors stuff will allow

[ I'm not in the list because I didn't find a digested version; please move the lists to sourceforge.net, and we would have the digested version. I read the replies from the archive. ] Hello. Would it be possible to allow Vorbis use the same codebook for multiple files? I could keep a 650 MB codebook on CD-R and use that for all my audiofiles. If that is possible, how much the

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.
