Estimated Float - 5.9 Million Shares Outstanding -

Gold mining stocks have been a neglected group during
this great Bull Market.  Many financial advisors
suggest putting a small percentage of a portfolio
(3-10%) into precious metals as a hedge against
inflation.  With oil prices hitting multi-year highs,
we are advising purchase of European American
Resources (EPAR), currently trading near the low for
the year.

EPAR'S largest property in Nevada is located
right between two successful gold mines operated by
Homestake Mining (HM-NYSE-5 5/8), one of the top gold
companies in North America.  EPAR recently agreed to a
joint venture with HM, where Homestake is financing
100% of the drilling costs.  If the digging is
promising, European American could be a takeover
candidate at a high multiple to the current price.  In
fact, HM has acquired three of the last five companies
that they entered into similar joint ventures with. 
Also, Nevada is known as one of the lowest-cost areas
to mine gold, and EPAR'S Prospect Mountain property is
right next door to HM'S Ruby Hill, which runs at a
rock bottom cost of $64 per ounce to mine gold.

Our philosophy is to buy stocks with the potential of
doubling over a short-term period.  After they reach
the doubling point, we advise selling half of your
position, so the remaining shares are in your
portfolio on a "FREE" basis.  We recommend buying EPAR
at any price up to $1.50 per share.

DISCLAIMER: 
The Doubler has received a fee of 5000 shares of
European American Resources, Inc. 
common stock for the writing and distribution of this
report. The Doubler and/or 
its affiliates currently own shares of EPAR, and may
buy or sell shares at any

[MP3 ENCODER] Test PCM files

2000-08-18 Thread Frank Klemm

Only a small hint. 

The test PCM files out there are hard cutted.
There's no envelope used at the start and the end.

But it sound more pleasant if a short fade in and fade out is
used. The ear becomes not so fast tired.

For a couple of files I have done this on my computer.

[MP3 ENCODER] test sample

2000-08-17 Thread Pierre Hugonnet

Hello,

I have a interesting (I think) test sample (.wav ~1.6MB), which consists mainly of 
cymbal hits, with some drums and bass. The problem here is the the cymbal hits. Small 
reports using lame 3.70 (the last stable release) and 3.85b (last beta?) is below. 
However: the CBR result was better (though not very at 128kbs) in 3.70; VBR performs 
better than ABR and CBR with 3.85b.

in 3.85b I'm a little bit worried by the VBR quality setting, which produce fully 
different behavior (average bitrate) than in 3.70.

If somebody is interested in getting the .wav for more testing, just tell me where to 
upload it.

Pierre

Re: [MP3 ENCODER] test sample

2000-08-17 Thread Pierre Hugonnet

Since I've seen that the last beta was 3.86b, I tested it on the same sample. The 
improvement over 3.85b is significant, and now I can ear almost no artefact but on CBR 
128 and below:


lame 3.86b   (--lowpass 15 for all VBRs)
   CBR 96   horrible/artefacts
   CBR 128  acceptable/slight artefacts
   CBR 192  good
   VBR 9(120kbs) acceptable
   VBR 8(127kbs) acceptable
   VBR 7(133kbbs) correct
   VBR 6(140 kbs) correct
   VBRnew 9 (117kbs) acceptable
   VBRnew 6 (135kbs) correct-good
   ABR 128  (128kbs) acceptable



Just a remark: the default VBR mode seems to be still --vbr-old (and not --vbr-new, as 
suggested by the doc).

  Btw, isn't Philips the only company owning a Layer II VBR encoder?
 

 Could be, and this would be a nice feature to have, but layer II VBR is
 not ISO-standard compliant I think; you do have a free bitrate mode; but
 all frames must be N or N+1 slots within this free fixed bitrate;
 maybe this could be incorporated into a NBC-toolame mode in the future ??
 (although I don't like the idea of building something that is not standard
 compliant)
 It should be fairly easy to code this, but the hard part is finding a good
 decision algorithm, ie when to stop the layer II bit-allocation loop;
 although this could be simple too; when all MNR's hit a certain threshold
 just quit bitalloc; I will add this to my toolame (experiment) list
 which is slowly progressing again BTW; I hope to report some things next
 week.

 Patrick.

[MP3 ENCODER] Test and introduction...

1999-12-08 Thread erik . schuijers

Hello all,

first of all this message is meant as a test message. Furthermore I would like to 
introduce myself and ask some questions...

My name is Erik Schuijers and I'm a student at the University of Technology at 
Eindhoven (Holland). My pre-graduation project at Philips mainly consists of the 
implementation of an mp3 encoder possibly based on the ISO layer 3 encoder. In other 
words: 
within three months I will have to complete a coder which performs MUCH better (in 
quality and speed) as the ISO code. 

I've been testing around with the ISO code for a little while now and I just can't 
conclude anything else then that it is a bit sucky! I'm compiling under MSVC6 and I 
get memory read errors all over the place. Now I wondered if the original revised LAME 
code still existed around here somewhere. That would be a nice starting place for my 
project. 

Something else I would like to know is whether the mailing archive dates back longer. 
For me (and perhaps for some others too) this would make things easier in terms of 
comprehension of the changes made within LAME.

Perhaps I can help some of you out when it comes to signal processing problems.

Erik Schuijers

PS: Don't think that at Philips they have all the answers to your questions... it's 
not like that. Fraunhofer really has a powerful position when it comes to layer 3.--
