Package: ripperx Version: 2.7.0-1 Severity: minor I download ripperx 2.7.0-1 source package from Sid, and compiled it in a Sarge environment without problem :-D. I think that it is a great ripper for old computers with little memory.
* Players config tab: 1. The cdplay commands that are in the default config of ripperx are wrong (with cdtool 2.1.5-13 from Sarge). The good ones are 'cdplay %' for the 'CD play command', and 'cdstop' for the 'CD stop command'. But in the default config they are: 'cdplay play %' and 'cdplay stop'. 2. The 'Mp3 play command' should be 'mpg321 %', that is the package in the Suggests tag of the ripperx package. In the default config the command is 'mpg123 %', a nonfree? package. * Man page: 1. In the 'ogg quality' part, there are two 'mode 6': "256 == mode 6, and 320 == mode 6". I suppose that the first is 'mode 5' and the last 'mode 6'. 2. The ogg quality modes of this part is no clear (for me, that I'm not a expert): I made a wav file from a CD and them encode it with oggenc at some qualityes (q0, q1, q2, q3, q4, q5 and q6). If you gets the ogg file information with ogginfo, it says the nominal bitrate of the file, and the relation of my probes is: quality = nominal bitrate from ogginfo q0 = 64 kb/s q1 = 80 kb/s q2 = 96 kb/s q3 = 112 kb/s q4 = 128 kb/s q5 = 160 kb/s q6 = 192 kb/s Later, I ripp and encode the same song with ripperx at the same bitrates chosen in the ripperx config Mp3 tab, and the nominal bitrate gets from ogginfo are: bitrate from nominal bitrate quality ripperx config from ogginfo from above list 64 kb = 64 kb/s = q0 80 kb = 80 kb/s = q1 96 kb = 96 kb/s = q2 112 kb = 112 kb/s = q3 128 kb = 128 kb/s = q4 160 kb = 160 kb/s = q5 192 kb = 192 kb/s = q6 This, in my opinion, not corresponds whit the manual page, that says: Because Vorbis/Ogg uses variable bit rates, there is not a direct correlation between the bitrate selected for encoding and the rate used by oggenc. Instead, the bitrates in ripperX are mapped to the quality modes (1-6) supported by oggenc. Bitrates 56, 64, 96 == mode 1, 112 and 128 == mode 2, 160 == mode 3 (the default), 192 == mode 4, 256 == mode 6, and 320 == mode 6. I'm not have so much experience with ogg files and sound, but I suppose that this part of the manual should be: Bitrate 80 == mode 1, 96 == mode 2, 112 == mode 3 (the default), 128 == mode 4, 160 == mode 5, and 192 == mode 6. If all of this is a stupid thing (I have little idea of ogg quality modes) ignore it :-D. Thank you for maintain this good piece of soft. Excuse my poor english (i'm a spanish speaker). Greetings.
