similar to: Complexity vs BitRate

Jean Marc, So assuming the quality setting was set as high as possible, and the audio stream was 8000 hz, 16 bit mono, I have two follow up questions: 1. Does the complexity setting override the quality setting, or does increasing the complexity only lower the rate at a given quality? Or would setting both higher increase the quality more? 2. What sort of impact would setting quality as high as

Hi, Is there are document where the interaction between all the configuration options of speex is explained? Speex seems to have CBR, VBR and ABR. You can also use SPEEX_SET_QUALITY (SPEEX_SET_VBR_QUALITY) and SPEEX_SET_BITRATE which I suppose can't be set at the same time. Is there a list of possible combinations somewhere? I also have another question related to jitter. To minimize jitter,

Hi, I'm trying to cover all Speex configuration options to set quality/mode/bitrate in my application and I was wondering if the following all makes sense: - abr_bitrate - use average bitrate and set it using bitrate parameter - SPEEX_SET_ABR - cbr_bitrate - use constant bitrate and set it using bitrate parameter - SPEEX_SET_BITRATE - cbr_mode - use constant bitrate and

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?

Hi, Speex is progressing and I've started thinking about the next 1.2 release (don't hold your breath). Though the bit-stream won't change, the API likely will. The API for 1.1.x already differs from 1.0.x because the speex_encode and speex_decode now use shorts instead of floats. Now, since I'm changing the API anyway, I thought I might as well fix things that might be annoying

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,

In my experience most of the jitter related issues are because people are using too small of audio buffer sizes that match the framing size of Speex - particularly in Windows. This isn't a problem with Speex, but as a programmer you should collect and append a few frames to match the size of your output audio frame buffer before attempting to play the sound. -----Original Message----- From:

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with the ABR. I'm a developer of Mumble, a voicechat application for gamers, and up to now we've just used VBR quality to determine the bitrate. In an effort to make the resource requirements a little more determinable (and limitable) for hosting, I tried switching to ABR, as there doesn't seem to be a way to determine the absolute peak

Hello, I'm try to run speex on some ARM processor. I'd like to cut away some speex features including VBR, ABR and preprocessor while still supporting VAD/DTX. But I've found some puzzles in the source code regarding VAD as below, 1) there are VAD related codes in the source file preprocess.c. Will VAD still work If I don't use the source file preprocess.c? 2)The speex manual

Hi, I'm quite familiar w/ mp3 cbr/abr/vbr encoding, as well as mpeg4 (cbr/vbr,etc). And I can always calc the bit rate for a given file size with: file size * 8000 / length in seconds = kbits/sec Works great w/ mpeg4 + mp3. BUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME: I cannot get oggenc (1.0x version) to give me the file size I want. I calc. it with the above formula, and nothing comes out right. Then I do

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 there, I'm using libvorbis in my program and need to encode to target bitrate. I know libvorbis prefer to use quality scale but I can't use it. I've found something at faq http://vorbis.com/faq/#quality *For now, quality 0 is roughly equivalent to 64kbps average, 5 is roughly 160kbps, and 10 gives about 400kbps. Most people seeking very-near-CD-quality audio encode at a quality

Hi Marc, Thanks for your quick response. So if VAD is enabled then VBR will be enable although it's a special VBR. How about take out the VAD code from the VBR and remove the code else?

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 devs, I am developing winLAME, a frontend for LAME, and it also supports Ogg Vorbis decoding and encoding. I've got a question about the new API function vorbis_encode_init_vbr(). Do I have to call vorbis_encode_init() before to set the bitrate(s)? And what is a good default value for the "base_quality" parameter? I read on the mailing list that ABR use in Ogg Vorbis is not so

Hi, I'm about finished developing a QuickTime component that supports Speex (on MacOS X and Windows).. As it is now the user can set complexity (SPEEX_SET_COMPLEXITY) and quality (SPEEX_SET_QUALITY / SPEEX_SET_VBR_QUALITY) and to wether to use VBR or not. Will these options make it possible to produce all combinations of bitrates/qualities? Or should I also use
