I do not experience the same issues as below. I personally think g729 is more then worth the $10 per licensed channel. I have 10 licensed channels and they are worth every penny. The call quality is far superior to gsm or g726 and is nearly identical to a g711 call. My application is probably different then yours, I convert everything to g711 to my terminators to ensure pristine call quality.

Worth it? Funny thing about g729, when I setup my server to ONLY allow g729, and then put my Cisco 7960's phone into g729 mode, the first call went through fine as g729. If I put that party on hold, and dialed another number, that too would be g729. But if I tried to call 1 party, and conference in another party, I got codec warning messages, the phone(s) were trying to make the 2nd call as ULaw, and what's worst, it try to transform the original stream that was g729 into ULaw as well. I've gotten some strange behaviour of my Sipura and using g729 with multiple streams as well. Certain calls try to revert back to ULaw. For the most part, I've given up on g729. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Schulte Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2005 12:55 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] G.729?

Worth it? > Low bandwidth > Low CPU utilization > Best audio quality > I think you might want to clarify that Best audio quality is in relation to other highly compressed codecs. Certainly my (albeit limited) experience is that g711 is much more clear than g729. Compared against gsm, for example, however, the audio quality is quite good.... regards, Paul _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
