similar to: Discontinuous encoding and VBR tradeoffs

I'm writing a voice communication application, and I've got a few issues that I'd like to get ironed out, but I don't know enough about the speex implementation. First of all, this application is mainly used for conferencing - many people are in a room and only 1-2 are ever talking at a time. So, always encoding and transmitting everyone's audio stream would be rather

Hi Conrad, Thanks a lot for the info. This is exactly what I needed. We want to use speex in our IP telephony client and I was indeed trying to put together a GUI configuration screen.

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

I'm running a: for band in n w u do for quality in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 do for complexity in 3 do for vad in "" "--vad" do for dtx in "" "--dtx" do echo speexenc -${band} --quality ${quality} --comp ${complexity} ${vad} ${dtx} input.${band}.wav

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, I'm updating speex support in sweep to RC2 and I'd like some advice on encoder options, and would appreciate some testing of the user interface. a screenshot of the updated speex encoding dialog: http://www.vergenet.net/~conrad/tmp/sw_speexRC2_1.png you can grab a tarball of sweep for testing here: http://www.vergenet.net/~conrad/tmp/sweep-0.8.0-speexRC2.tar.gz general

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

Hello. I am working on implementing RFC 5574 (RTP Payload Format for the Speex Codec) in the ffmpeg and have a question concerning it. It would be nice if somebody could answered it. * Chapter 4.1.1 Registration of Media Type Audio/Speex, subpart "Optional parameters" states these SDP optional parameters: vbr: variable bit-rate - either 'on', 'off', or 'vad'

Hi, I've just released beta4, which will hopefully be the last beta before starting release candidates. There are a number of quality improvements and a some new features. First, the quality of variable bit-rate (VBR) has been greatly improved, mostly for wideband. Also, some improvements were made to the packet-loss concealment code in order to reduce artifacts caused by lost packets. There

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(),

Great, thanks! That patch solved it. VBR without DTX seems to work perfectly now. If I enable DTX, there's still a little bit of buzz but it doesn't seem to last very long when it happens. I appreciate the quick fix! Tom Jean-Marc Valin (jean-marc.valin@hermes.usherb.ca) wrote: > > Yep, you found a bug and here's the patch. It should solve your problem > (using VBR

Hello, in my project im using speex 1.2rc1 and the preprocessor VAD seems to only separate complete silence from not complete silence frames. The Speex Manual, you can read "The voice activity detector (VAD) provided by the preprocessor is more advanced than the one directly provided in the codec." but if you go to the source code in preprocess.c line 995 "/* FIXME: This VAD

Hi guys, I'm using Opus for speech in wide-band mode (sampling rate 16000) and 20ms frames with signal type set to SIGNAL_VOICE. I have a few questions here: 1. When I choose VBR mode, the codec seems to choose the bitrate on its own. However, that seems to be an issue on mobile devices. In some cases, when I configure the bitrate to say 20kbps, I see that the outgoing codec bitrate at

Hi, I am looking how to setup speex codec in codecs.conf for 8 Kbps and 6 Kbps. In config file are many parameters for setting. I don't know what is need to change for narrowbad like 8 Kbps and 6 kbps. Any suggestion? [speex] ;0-10 quality => 4 ;0-10 complexity => 4 ; true / false enhancement => true ; true / false vad => false ; true / false vbr => false ; 0 = off, otherwise,

Jesus, Unfortunately, FFT and magic algorithms don't work (yet?). You might want to try this if you're not satisfied with Speex VAD: http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/speex-dev/2008-August/006860.html It won't perform any miracles, but I think it works pretty well and is easy to tweak.
