Hi, Since interest in my project was shown before on this list, I will update you on the status of it. I've now finished version 0.42 of FAAC. It has a totally new quantizer, which now resembles the one from LAME pretty much. I hope some of you that have been working on the LAME quantizer could also have a look at my new one. Further I have added a pulsecoder which was the only thing still missing from the AAC format in FAAC. The pulscoder is used to encode large pulses in de spectral components seperately, so that less bits are needed for that scalefactor band. In pulse.c I now use a very brute method to find those pulses, but I'm sure there is a much better method to find the right pulses that need seperate coding. I hope some of you can help me with this project. I find that the quality has improved quite a lot since the last version. Bye, Menno -- MP3 ENCODER mailing list ( http://geek.rcc.se/mp3encoder/ )
