Re: zip / huffman coding(Re: [MP3 ENCODER] Lame quality observations)

1999-12-04 Thread Monty
R It might make sense to use zip _instead_ of the Huffman coding. So it depends on whether keeping frame independence(it is good for live streaming) or not. If you eliminate detectable frame boundaries, it becomes impossible to seek/ capture a stream. It would have to be played

Does anybody have been finished to optimize for AltiVec (PowerPC G4) in source code level? I complied LAME 3.50 beta with CodeWarrior Pro 5 with max optimization, but it just runs only about 1.5 times faster than same clock of G3 processor. I think that the Proteron guys are working on it

[MP3 ENCODER] VBR not as variable as Xing

Hi all. I'm new to the list. I have been using Xing's VBR up to now but I am hoping to find Lame produces better VBR quality - but I'm not so sure. I may be wrong but it appears Lame's VBR is not as variable when it comes to choosing different bit-rates for each frame. I base this on the

Unfortunately I'm running Windows rather than Linux. I will take that plunge once it is more configuration user-friendly. The -V4 switch in v3.57 (without -v which doesn't appear to be required). I noticed that prior Lame versions required -V5 to average close to 128kb/s whereas -V4 is now

Dear programmers :) I use MP3 for encoding borrowed CD's for a legal low-power FM radio station in New Zealand. To save money I am not using a frequency limiter/sound compressor and I'm allowed to use 16khz rather than the usual 15khz cut-off. I'm using Winamp plug-ins for the compression
