As a data point on this, the ld-decode project uses FLAC to compress 40MHz samples of LaserDisc RF, which are a combination of FM composite video, FM audio and CD-style EFM digital audio. FLAC gets much better compression ratios than general-purpose compression algorithms (typically about 55% the size of the 10-bit raw input), and has the advantage that you can directly use audio tools for visualising and manipulating samples. -- Adam Sampson <a...@offog.org> <http://offog.org/> _______________________________________________ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
