Hello everybody, I've put some functions/modifications into the Ogg Vorbis encoder source. (The new functions are in the first 500 lines of the oggenc.c, some definitions are in the oggenc.h) I hope, you can use it. Here is the full source (same source on 3 locations): http://www.geocities.com/mpxplay/oggenc.zip http://www.tar.hu/mpxplay/oggenc.zip http://www.extra.hu/galileog/oggenc.zip

Hello all, I wanted to ask some experienced users some settings about oggenc. 1. How can I setup oggenc so that I can DIRECTLY rip tracks off my audio cd? As we all know, audio cd doens't really have a file format that we can directly use. Do I HAVE to convert them to wav files then convert them to ogg files? 2. The options: -b -m -M with the bitrate of the audio file. If I set something

First let me say that I was absolutely astounded at the sound quality when using oggenc at q = -1 (around 50 kbps). So much so, that I'm anxious to try some of the lower bit rates that were mentioned in the announcement for 1.0: ... audio and music at fixed and variable bitrates from 16 to 128 kbps/channel. But I am having trouble finding how to use either oggdrop or oggenc to get these

Hi all! I ran across another song that oggenc seems to have trouble to encode. The intro of U2:s "Grace" gets its right channel messed up by oggenc, even at the highest bitrate. Why is the bitrate only 218? Isn't that awfully little when asking for 320? Qualityflaws like these is the reason i prefer mp3 and mpplus today. But vorbis is getting better for every beta, so keep up the

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

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,

The oggenc --help text says The bitrate option (--bitrate, -b) will choose the mode closest to the chosen bitrate. but judging by 'vorbis_encode_init', it's actually the mode with the least bitrate greater than or equal to the specified bitrate that's chosen. Here's a possible fix: The bitrate option (--bitrate, -b) will choose the mode with the least bitrate

Hi, there. Although I'm not a hacker at all, I noticed an audible noise on Beta 4 encoded files. So, I'd like to report it here. I ripped and encoded 'A Day Without Rain' on the album with the same name By Enya into Vorbis using Oggenc and Oggdrop Beta 4 from the Vorbis site. (You know, she is quite an encoder-killer.) At all the bitrates, files encoded by Oggdrop had audible

hello, i have a question about the documentation: oggenc --help says: -b, --bitrate Choose a nominal bitrate to encode at. Attempt to encode at a bitrate averaging this. Takes an argument in kbps. This uses the bitrate management engine, and is not recommended for most users. See -q, --quality for a

Are there plans to incorporate aoTuV mode into vorbis, perhaps a commandline switch to make optionally available the aoTuV tunings? The abx results from aoTuV are impressive... http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?showtopic=21916&st=50&&#entry215109 -Dan

Since 1.0rc2 was released i have found that ogg@64k sounds almost like mp3@128k (in 95% of the 3000 files i encoded...) I tested 1.0rc3 and 64k bitrate (quality=0.0) gives less good quality than before. And bad : it takes longer to encode ! (1.7x vs. 2.0x on a P2/500MHz) Effectively 64k ogg files encoded with rc3 are smaller than files encoded with rc2. I hear people debatting on how satisfied

Hi! Playing with Opus 1.3 I converted a tone sweep with a sample rate of 96kHz (just for fun). Before I had converted that from WAV to FLAC, and to Vorbis without problems. With Opus I noticed that the file size for 48kHz and 48 kbps compared to 96kHz Vorbis at 31kbps is about double the size and it sounds even worse (than Vorbis) (there is a lot of noise in the lower frequencies when a low

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

Hi, I'm trying to record something for about 24 hours but oggenc tells me that I have 203m remaining.

Hi all, I routinesly rips my CDs to WAV and then convert to ogg vorbis format for use in my car and portable player. I don't usually notice anything amiss, but on the last track of Mike Oldfield's "Music of the Spheres" album ("Musica Universalis", at the very end crescendo), the converted .ogg file exhibits terrible distortion (sounds like digital clipping). This

When I encode a monophonic wav file, I would expect the resulting ogg file to be at about half the bit rate specified on the command line, as stated in the "oggenc -h" help text: "The 6 modes are approximately 112, 128, 160, 192, 256, and 350 kbps (for stereo 44.1kHz input. Halve these numbers for mono input).". This doesn't seem to be happening, though. I took a 16-bit,

Hi! Excuse the delay, but I had to deal with a corrupted NTFS file system that ate many important files on an USB stick... The FLAC version of the original is almost 6MB and it can be downloaded slowly from this time-limited link: https://sbr5vjid0jgmce4q.myfritz.net:40262/nas/filelink.lua?id=0ba5a10529a6fe7b On the meaning of a logarithmic sweep: If you use foobar2000 and the

In many cases, the concatenation works even if the bitrate does not correspond (correct me if I am

Hello... I was very surprised when I found, that oggfiles created with RC3 are much worse than files made with RC2. I have some example sound file set up for you on the net. The difference is *obvious*. While RC2 made ogg-files, which I would say are perfect (at least I cannot hear a difference to the original), the quality of RC3 is *bad*. Let me first say, that I used libvorbis0, libogg0
