Hi all, I posted a few months ago with a plan about building a karaoke system using pykaraoke. One thing I noticed was that cdgrip was a little slow to rip and I wondered if I could make any improvements.
I wrote some code in C and got to the stage of having it ripping to ogg using oggenc as the encoder. There are some differences between my code and and cdgrip (apart from the language of choice) * It is a little bit faster (maybe 20%) probably mostly as a result of being compiled. * It works on the bin file by analysing the q subcahnnel so never needs to look at the TOC file * Because of the above it will probably work with cue/bin files although I don't have a way to test this at the moment. * It combines the ripping and deinterleaving and also performs a CRC on the q code block in to one step (this might give some speed benifits) What's wrong with it? * It's in C * It's unfinished and doesn't do CDDB lookups yet * I can't make it work with LAME and I've not idea why :) Some other notes. While I was writing it (I call it dcdgrip) I tried to write a NoDeinterleave option like cdgrip has. It didn't work properly, and I think the same option in cdgrip might also be broken (mostly because I just copied the code and translated it into C). I think that maybe the deiterleaved data returned by cdrdao doesn't look the way the code expects. Or the drives I've made work with the rw option are returning something odd. It's hard to track down the source of these errors. Anyway... Is anyone interested in the code? I got to the current stage over a month ago but have been too busy to work on it since. I've got a bit more free time now. I'll post it or upload somewhere or whatever if anyone is interested. Also I'd say it was GPL but I took some public domain code for a CRC algorithm and I'm not sure how that works with the GLP (in any case the CRC stuff could be rewritten if needed) Drew _______________________________________________ Pykaraoke-discuss mailing list Pykaraoke-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pykaraoke-discuss
