Hi people, I am aware of the integer based DEcoder (Tremor) but am more interested in a hardware ENcoder, for use in a solid state portable recorder. Has anyone made *any* steps towards implementing an encoder in a DSP? I ask because I have been investigating MP3 hardware encoders, and apart from being very expensive (to licence - DSPs are as cheap as grains of sand in comparison) I have an "idealogical" problem with MP3. Thankyou. --- >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.

Hi everyone, I sent this a while ago but have not had a *single* response. I realise that most of you guys are into PC (etc) platforms, and therefore shun my request. However, the MP3 licence fees are extraodinarily high for the IP to put into a DSP, which by necessity is part of a portable recorder. There are more and more of these devices getting out there now, and all of the manufacturers would have to pay these fees. Ogg is supposed to be an alternative, but for hardware I think I may be wrong. FIIS have this corner packaged very neatly, they know it, and they charge for it. They have to make up for the revenue lost from PC platforms somehow! Is there *any* moves to port the Ogg encoder to any type of DSP? Thanks. <p> ----- Original Message ----- From: engdev To: vorbis@xiph.org Sent: Friday, August 15, 2003 11:08 AM Subject: [vorbis] Hardware encoder. <p> Hi people, I am aware of the integer based DEcoder (Tremor) but am more interested in a hardware ENcoder, for use in a solid state portable recorder.
