Hi I made a CD-backup with cdparanoia | oggenc and I tried to use different values of -q listening to the effect by cdparanoia | oggenc -o - | mplayer -. The best quality was 8 -- why? Oggenc version was the precompiled 1.0 from Mandrake 9. --- >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.

Most people can't tell the diffence between Q6 and higher qualities. Or if you want the best quality possible use FLAC(flac.sf.net). --- >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.

It's possible that mplayer isn't decoding right, though. What happens when you substitute mplayer with ogg123? -- Tom Felker I'd gladly pay $1 to legally download a song in a format _completely_ devoid of "rights management." If a content provider won't sell me that, they either don't trust me or want to limit my rights, and they don't deserve my business, my bandwidth, or my time. --- >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.

I didn't tell u everything. I think it isn't strange if someone can hear sounds over 18 kHz or something like this. I use Chinese loudspeakers with capacitor tweeters (I bought them for ~20 euro) and a Sound Blaster ViBRA connected to them directly. But there is another problem: Q8 gives better quality than Q9! Perhaps there was a bug in oggenc. BTW: Is that possible to protect a CD from mp3 copying? Like Magnetic Cassettes? Vorbis compresses such sounds properly but can add some unpredictable artifacts to it. --- >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.

Thanks for the suggestion. I use Mandrake 9 with the original gcc (maybe 3.2, I'm not sure). I have compiled libao, ogg, vorbis and tools. BTW: Red Hat Gcc (2.96?) doesn't work, I know because I have read MPlayer doc :) --- >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.
