Re: [flexcoders] Ogg Vorbis Tremor in AS3?

2007-01-28 Thread Kevin Newman
That's awesome! I get an error message when it loads, and then the audio 
is choppy, but otherwise, this is very promising. I hope it will be 
released as open source, and that the performance issues can be sorted, 
that'd be great for anyone concerned about mp3 patent issues.

 Hopefully the source will be released at some point.

 I know that its built on top of the audio engine made by Chris Sperry of 
 FlashCodersBrighton fame.

 There is a version of the core audio engine in the SID branch of the FC64 
 project if you are interested in seeing some source. (and it includes the 
 sample 
 rate fix)

 Chris said that he has made some improvements to the engine but they are not 
 public yet, hopefully these will be released soon.

 for now thats all I know :)

 Hello,

 I was wondering what the feasibility of porting an integer based audio

 place that would allow you to load a vorbis file, decode it and output 
 the audio? Does AVM2 have the horse power to pull off something like that?

Re: [flexcoders] Ogg Vorbis Tremor in AS3?

2007-01-26 Thread Jeffry Houser

  I'd love to see a way to get this working, although assumed it was 
not possible.  Are the sound classes in AS3 open source?  Could they 
be used as a base for an Ogg Vorbis decoder?

  The question that comes to mind is, why bother?  Just use an mp3!

  I actually have an answer, for those wondering.  Despite popular 
belief, the mp3 format is neither open nor free.

  When I last researched it, the decoder was free, but the encoder 
had to be licensed.  The Flash player didn't encode mp3s, so 
therefore there was no licensing issue involved there.

  It looks like this has changed at some point, and now the decoder 
must be 
licensed.  http://www.mp3licensing.com/royalty/software.html  In 
theory that means that Adobe is paying a price for each Flash Player 
download.  I suspect this was also why mp3 was left out of the 
Soundbooth beta on labs.

  If you start a business selling mp3s, they also take a cut ( 
http://www.mp3licensing.com/royalty/emd.html ) .  I would theorize 
that this licensing fee is why iTunes did not use the mp3 format, but 
rather ACC.

  I looked into this a while back, and even submitted a feature 
request that Flash Player support Ogg.  Nothing came of it, 
presumably because of lack of demand.

  I'd love to attempt to this; feeling adventurous?

  Is this my first list post?  ( Hi Everyone )

Re: [flexcoders] Ogg Vorbis Tremor in AS3?

2007-01-26 Thread Abdul Qabiz

There are APIs (URLLoader, URLStream) to load binary data (file, stream
etc), manipulate bits (ByteArray) and create also.

I don't think there is out of box vorbis decoder in Adobe Flash Player.

You can achieve what you want to do... There are APIs to do that... And I
guess, once you are done transcoding (vorbis to MP3?) media,
you can load it in sound object ?

 The first link throws a lot of errors, although I do hear staggered 
noise between them. other than that it looks like really cool stuff.

Andre managed to make a mod player.  Not sure what mods are, but they  
have that 8 bit feel.
