Hi, Maybe this is documented somewhere, if so, please send me a link to the documentation. My question is: how to set up different (VBR, CBR, ABR) modes when calling the Ogg Vorbis API? Currently I do: CBR: ret = vorbis_encode_setup_managed( &vorbisInfo, getInChannel(), getOutSampleRate(),

Hi, Is there any difference between decoding of CBR or VBR streams in realtime in terms of CPU usage/cost? Are sample rates other than 44100Hz supported by Vorbis officially ? If it is supported, is it efficient to use them or is Vorbis specifically (or at the moment) optimized for 44100Hz ? Thanks in advance. --- Mete BALCI Senior Game Programmer Momentum DMT Istanbul, TURKEY

Hi All; If someone used speex and has experience with its settings, then who can help to explain the following: 1) When it is recommended to use VBR (vbr => true)? 2) If there relation between setting the vbr => true and the abr value (for example to be 0 or 1 or 10) and the relation between this value and abr (true / false). 3) Any relation between the quality value and the abr value?

If there is no sound input on the client audio stream being sent to the icecast server does this mean there is no bandwidth being used - or does icecast use bandwidth even for times when there is no sound on the client input end?

Just in case my quotation causeed misunderstnaing... Forget about what I quoted before. Probably, by CBR, Monty meant ABR since CBR is stupidly patented and this is the reason why Vorbis has no CBR option. If you know this, it cannot be a problem but I see there is a question asking what is ABR in the mailing list. >On Thu 28 Jun 2001, 23:27:41 PDT, Monty (xiphmont@xiph.org)Wrote: >then

Hi, I try to use the video tag to post videos on my blog I'm using ffmeg2theora to transcode videos in theora Resolution of 320x240 pixels and constant bitrate (CBR) of ~400 kbps seems to be ok for publishing on my blog. I've read that CBR is a better choice than VBR for web publishing regarding the way TCP/IP works. ("In TCP it takes a while for a connection to increase its

Hi All, I've run into a small hiccup in encoding my audios with Speex. When I encode audience laughter and applause with 'speexenc' (version 1.0.1), the result is quite acceptable... until I enable VBR. Then it distorts horribly. My understanding of VBR is that it frees the encoder to vary the number of bits emitted to better maintain the quality requested, and so I would have

Greetings Fellow Vorbis Gurus! How can I encode, using CDex, at a CBR (constant bit rate) rather than the VBR? Also, can one take a 128kbs MP3 file and re-encode it to ogg? If so, please explain the procedure. By the way, I'm using a Windows based system. Thank you! /jp/ dojpaul@coffey.com --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage:

Hello, I purchased the "CD Ripper 2" plugin for Winamp 3 and need help choosing an ogg encoding format. It seems I have the choice between VBR and ABR formatted oggs. I am familiar with VBR (variable bit rate) but not sure what ABR stands for? Is it possible/desirable to specify a bit rate when encoding oggs, or does the nature of the ogg format make use of varying bit rates?

Hi, I'm a newbie to audio compression. And I have several question about ogg. 1. How many bits a vorbis sample take ? does the sample size 16 bits ? like the mp3 ? CMIIW 2. How do a decoder recognize how many sample it takes in a second ? does it related with the code books ? 4. Does vorbis use VBR ? 3. What is function of the Windows ? and what is the output of the windows ? Thanks

I want to display info about Ogg files to Windows users. The docs tell me how to distinguish CBR (nom=min=max bitrate), but how do I distinguish between ABR and VBR streams? When I created my Ogg files (with CDex) I set the 'quality'. Is there some way to read this from the Ogg file? Should I avoid calling the ov_bitrate function because it has to read through the whole stream?

Dear all I'm currently using a simple encoding implementation based on the encoding example delivered with theora. Now i tried to change the quality of the output file. Its my understanding, that either a bitrate can be set for Constant Bitrate (CBR) encoding, or a quality (0-63) for Variable Bitrate (VBR). As you might know, the basic Encoder Example uses the so-called 2-Pass method for

Hi, I've been using Speex in my voice-over-IP program on Win32, in wideband (16kHz) mode. I just starting using VBR recently and have run into something that might be a problem within Speex: If someone hasn't spoken for a little while, and the bitrate drops to very low, sometimes the high half of the spectrum becomes frozen with a looping sound. The bottom half of the spectrum is

Hello folks I am encoding music to ogg vorbis format for the first time. From what i have researched, ogg vorbis is natively a vbr format. Also encoding using the -q switch is encouraged instead of specifying a bitrate through -b. Now, while encoding using -b i get this: Encoding "file.wav" to "file.ogg" at approximate bitrate 224 kbps (VBR encoding enabled) Notice

Hi guys, It looks to me like line 955 in celt.c should be: effectiveBytes = vbr_rate>>(3+BITRES); otherwise it seems like "effectiveBytes" is 8 times larger than it should be (at least if it's really meant to be bytes). Cheers, John Ridges

Hi. I'd like to ask a little about where Ogg stands today when it comes to streaming audio. The VBR has been the main argument in the incompatibility for streaming but has this changed somehow or will it? Is there something else besides quick and large scaled bandwith usage variations and the difficulty of buffering, that could cause problems? CBR could be used but some people say that it
