Hi Ingo, >It is just a WAVEFORMATEX with a GUID in it.

Hi, Is there a defined format tag for Opus that should be used with the WAVEFORMATEX structure? See wFormatTag (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd390970.aspx). /John

Yep, that's the bad news, you need an ID from Microsoft to make sure this ID is only used for FLAC. But since it's a 16 bits value, you can probably put anything randomly (only few are reserved). And I don't think it's illegal to use a number like that. Ingo Ralf Blum wrote: >>WAVEFORMATEX >>yes, that's the way to know what the codec does. >>But no

A friend of mine recently had a problem with a "broken" .WAV file (as you call them) because oggenc first printed out a warning and then didn't accept the file because of a "unexpected EOF error". Because I was interested in the issue, I decided to take a look at the oggenc source, and in fact, it is your .WAV reader that's wrong. More precisely: there are two version

Hi, >That's what I wanted to say a month ago. Mr. Blum, I'm really sorry for misunderstanding you. My mistake. I choose an ACM codec because it's the only option that works on every Windows Platform, and since the DirectShow has a generic wrapper that allows it to use ACM codecs, it appeared a good idea. I didn't note that the file format was going to be a problem. But I think

The commit http://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commitdiff;h=99257e177eac96fa41a107b423080232f59ebe45 also requires some changes in write_iff_headers() function: currently flac don't write WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE header if decoder_session->channel_mask is equal to 0, 1 or 3. After the commit 99257e17 flac should do this for channel_mask equal to 0, 4 or 3. The patch fixes this.

I apologize for the terribly long message, but here goes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First, regarding existing tools that I now about. libavcodec and users (e.g. HandBrake): - if there are 6 channels or less, the layout is set by the decoder as per the FLAC specification - if there are more than 6 channels, the layout is

Dear all, First, my aim is to achieve VoIP using VBR and DTX under Win32. I face a problem using speex 1.0.4 and need some help. My voice is ok and no background noise when I do NOT normalize 16 bit value to floating value. Normalized means dividing the 16 bit value by 32767. Turning on VBR is also ok but DTX has no effect. However, the speak is has a continous background beep sound AFTER I

Hi (again), I started to work on an ACM (Audio Compression Manager) for FLAC. I currently only have the canvas. The encoding/decoding is not done yet. So it's completely useless. But since the canvas is the harder thing to start, here it is. (just in case I don't have time to continue) http://mukoli.free.fr/flac-ACM.v0.1.0.zip

Hi Guys, I've just faced a wrong warning trying to encode a 24 bits WAV file if(wFormatTag == 1) { if(bps != 8 && bps != 16) { if(bps == 24 || bps == 32) { /* let these slide with a warning since they're unambiguous */ flac__utils_printf(stderr, 1, "%s: WARNING: legacy WAVE file has

HI Josh, I'm starting now to compile the ACM codec. I don't know how long it will take, since I do it in my free time, but I guess it will not take to long. About Mark Powell's comment, with an ACM codec there will be a lot of Windows GUIs for FLAC. I'm writing this message to talk about the FLAC format. The GUIs for the Audio Codec Manager, including Winamp and Windows Media

Tim's proposal seems reasonable but it conflicts with the FLAC documentation that says the channel ordering follows SMPTE/ITU-R recommendations. I think we may be butting up against an area where the standards aren't clear. ITU-R BS.2159-4 (http://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-r/opb/rep/R-REP-BS.2159-4-2012-PDF-E.pdf) doesn't define a 7.1 layout but simply diagrams several possibilities on

Hello, I have an p2p voice chat application using WAVE PCM (winmm). Now i am trying to add opus encoding to it to send it over the TCP/IP and then decoding it back to play - but without success (without opus it works ok) Here is an example of my code. I get message from input device then encode with opus then decode it back to output wave header and play. Doing it i hear only noise in my

Mr. Blum, I had to make some assumptions writing the driver, because I had no previous experience writing ACM drivers. I did what I could based in Microsoft's documentation but, of course, I made same mistakes. I had no time to test the code I wrote yet and will not in the next 2 weeks. All I can tell you now is about what I did and about my sources. So, considering your enthusiasm, I suggest

I know I've read about it under the FAQ and other various forums a dozen times, FLAC is able to encode up to 8 channels. But has anyone actually tried to do this? I ran across this nifty 7.1 wav sample courtesy of Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/howto/articles/Multichannel.aspx#link6 For some reason the channel mask was incorrectly set to 0x3f, so I manually changed

At the risk of throwing more fuel on the fire, I found the following document on the Microsoft website. It appears to be the file format counterpart to the API documentation presented by Chris Wolf. I'm not familiar with the WAVE format, so I'll let you guys interpret it (or tell me it is irrelevant): http://www.microsoft.com/HWDEV/audio/multichaud.htm [As an aside: Why does Microsoft
