[Flac-dev] compression

2008-02-20 Thread Harry Sack
hi can we expect much better compression (like the step to v. 1.2.x) in future versions of the flac encoder or are we at maximum compression level now? thx ___ Flac-dev mailing list Flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev

speed things up when they overlap in unpredictable ways. Games would be harder to write in a single- threaded way. Meanwhile, encoding/decoding FLAC is easier to write in a single-threaded design. Brian W. On Sep 6, 2007, at 16:42, Harry Sack wrote: yes, i totally agree but I'm talking

[Flac-dev] FLAC: compression ratio

2007-08-27 Thread Harry Sack
hi flac-dev list! I see, when compressing CD-audio tracks, I can reach up to 60% (ratio = 0.6x) of the original WAV file after compression. I was wondering if the FLAC codec could become as good as reaching 50% of the original WAV file in the future or if we are already at the (almost) maximum

2007-08-21 Thread Harry Sack
hi dev'ers is it true flac is developed in linux by Josh and later compiled in windows? I was also wondering if Josh implemented the flac encoder/decoder all by himself ? just some questions because I'm interested in flac in general :) thx ___
