similar to: [Flac-users] settings for tighter compression than -8?

Early this past week, Miroslav Lichvar suggested for me: > Ok, you need 0.04% improvement, that should not be a problem. Try > flac --lax -e -p -l 32 -r 10 --no-padding Thank you again, Miroslav. I tried that, and it took almost two full days (surprisingly, Windows ME stayed up that long without crashing) to re-encode the entire set on my 266-MHz machine. After all, in the help file

Perhaps a little more than that, since the sizes I listed were after stripping out the padding and all metadata blocks except SEEKTABLE and STREAMINFO. > Try flac --lax -e -p -l 32 -r 10 --no-padding > and if it is not enough, increase -r up to 16. Thank you. I'll do that. What, though,

Op 11-12-14 om 10:05 schreef Miroslav Lichvar: > but I'd rather see the real seeking bug fixed instead I think I might have a fix, but it touches quite a bit of code, so it'll take some time. I think the problem is that because bogus headers might pop up in the stream of which the CRC checks out, the whole frame is decoded to validate that a frame is correct. The bogus header

ok, tried it out... passes test/test_seeking.sh and my "xmms twitch" test, checked in to CVS. thanks!

I have read FLAC's "--help", the man-page, and the HTML documentaion, but there are a few things that I don't understand. 1. I'll start with the thing I'm most confused about. The --best option is synonymous with -l 12 -b 4608 -m -e -r 6. Why is that? Is not -l 32 better that l- 12? And you can have -r 0,8 without using --lax, and -r 0,16 with --lax. 2. The --lax option

Ok, the patch from 2003 about improving seeking still didn't make it to CVS, so here is another try. I made some benchmarking with the test_seeking utility from flac sources to show how bad the current seeking is, especially without seektable. Track used for the experiment had about 50 minutes. In the following table is average number of seeks and number of decoded frames required for one

Here is that part of the patch rebased against current git. In a quick test it gives a 10% speedup in decoding. -- Miroslav Lichvar

I have noticed flac -S- isn't working correctly, '-' isn't handled in parse_option() nor in convert_to_seek_table_template(). It makes SEEKTABLE with one seek point. Similar options -V-, -e-, -p-, ... are not allowed since 1.0.4, I think best would be drop -S- from documentation too and use --no-seektable option only. -- Miroslav Lichvar

With current compilers it is very likely that those routines are already superflous.

Ok, here is simple patch, it works for me, but I'm not familiar with this stuff. BTW, metaflac --list prints comments in raw utf8, it can screw terminal easily. -- Miroslav Lichvar

Ok, what about enabling the 3dnow function in libFLAC by default? I think time has shown the function is bugfree... :) -- Miroslav Lichvar
