Nitin, I'm sure others have better advice but there's no "best" format per se. Whatever makes asterisk and more importantly the CPU work less in playing those prompts is probably best. from what I understand (*) picks up the best suited format based on the capabilities of the channel and endpoint. If you have endpoints that connect using different codecs, you'd want to have the prompts in all of those formats on your machine and (*) will pick up the relevant ones thus avoiding transcoding. You can find all information on this page: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+sound+files. What I'm going to do is have the prompts be recorded in a wav (44khz) and then downsample them to 8kHz 16 bits windows wav. Then use the Asterisk 'convert' utility to convert all prompts to all diff formats I expect people to use.
Hope this helps _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
