hi everyone! i have a huge collection of vorbis enocded tracks. 99,99% of them work fine.
however, i have 5 or so which will cause my SB3/classics to reproduceably choke at the same spot. the files play fine on my pc with various players - even softsqueeze plays them fine. i checked the bitrates and discovered that they soar far beyond 500 kbit/s. (a sample can be provided, the board does not allow me to upload files that large) this even though the files are encoded "only" @ q6. however, i use the GTune3b2 vorbis encoder, which allocates more bits/s on tracks rich in transients and high-frequencies. however, the reference encoder @q10 has a "nominal" bitrate of ~500 kbit/s (whatever that means for a VBR encoder), which suggests that such encoded files may not play properly as well... perhaps re-encoding the track with the reference encoder and/or aoTuV will fix this, i will try and report back. hope that does NOT solve the problem tho, because in my subjective mind, GTune3 @q6 just sounds best and is fully transparent to me and all my listening buddies. in the meantime, has anyone else here had vorbis files choking on them? btw. this can be greatly aggravated when using the large spectrum analyzer screensaver. -- dcote ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dcote's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66592 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
