Hello, I found a sample RC3 seems to have problems with. http://metalbanner.virtualave.net/answer.wav (884 KB) Artist: Blind Guardian Album: A Night At The Opera Song: Wait For An Answer <p>Just listen for the metallic sound quickly jumping from one side of the stereo-image to the other (seriously bad english, I know...). At quality levels < 4 the sound seems to be moved to the center and it "feels" much more "rough"/"unclean" (I'm not a "professional" test-listener so my expressions could seem a bit - strange ;-) Due to my cheap equipment/ears I can't properly detect this artifact in encodings >= -q 4. Nevertheless I'm quite optimistic that more experienced listeners can easily hear it. BTW, are there any pre-RC4 versions available with audible improvents over RC3? bye, Maik Merten <p>--- >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.
