[MP3 ENCODER] Voice encoding with low bit rates

2000-08-04 Thread engdev
I have briefly tried the "--voice" mode and the "normal" mode when encoding a purely voice signal (with background noise) at 8kbps, and have been very impressed with the difference. I would like to compress the signal more... but 8 is as low as it goes. The "nomal" mode renders the voice

[MP3 ENCODER] Operating systems - GTK

I assume that most users of LAME are using the Linux OS, as the GTK extensions are based around (I believe) X-windows. I don't use Linux, and am stuck with windoze. Are there any utilities around to run the frame analyser with windoze 95, 98 or NT ? PS: I know windoze sux, but most of the

I read the "usage" file in the 3.86 zip distribution, but all it says is --ogg Encode using the Ogg Vobis codec (using libvorbis) instead of LAME's internal mp3 codec. What options are available for use with ogg encoding engine? Is there any doco on this? Owen. -- MP3 ENCODER mailing list (

[MP3 ENCODER] Ogg Vorbis encoder

2000-10-04 Thread engdev
I have looked at the Ogg Vorbis encoder (B2) and I have a couple of points to make : 1] I think it is appalling that there is such little interest in this - it is a viable alternative to MP3 - and doesn't have the patent restrictions that our friends at Franhoffer put on it. Sure, LAME is

Using 160kbps for both LAME and Xing, encoding "Dire straits - telegraph road" LAME takes about 1.5 times longer than Xing. Is that the MMX version of LAME? Mark Powell - UNIX System Administrator - The University of Salford Mark, I don't know if it is a MMX version - how can I
