Hey everyone, Here's one way to get .ogg files down to about ~20kbps, and it's not too hard: 1. Use sox to resample the files down to 11025khz mono. 2. Feed these to OGGLAME (Lame 3.84 Alpha 1 is what I had laying around on my hard drive). OGGENC demands that the files be 44.1khz, but this version of ogglame didn't seem to care what the sample rate was. I'm sure the quality is not as good as what OGGENC will eventually produce, but it's a whole lot better than having a "sorry, streaming is shut off" message on my site, which is what I have now. Assuming I can successfully use http streaming with these files, I'm ready to get streaming up and running again on my site. Hope this is useful to others. - Matt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

Beta 2 is old. OggEnc has accepted different sample rates since shortly before the beta 3 release (early november) LAME can probably do the resampling internally, though (thus not requiring sox to do this seperately). Not sure how old/out of date the LAME vorbis support is. Resampling in oggenc is planned, but I don't know when I'll get around to it.

Other then that, you've pretty much got the right method. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Oggenc *will* accept other sample rates (and the documentation is corrected in CVS) Monty --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
