this is wonderful ! how long has it been since licensed g.729 codecs were

They have been on the web/FTP sites for some time, in the 'unsupported' 
directory.

Patent indemnification licenses are completely separate from the codec 
binary you choose to use. There is no price difference for CPU type, OS 
platform or anything else.

Have you founy any real life performance benefit of x86_64 (particularly EM64T on Xeon) as apposed to plan old x86?

Yes. On my Athlon-64 2200+ system on my desk, the 'opteron' version 
encodes a 6722 block sample file in 478ms; the 'i686' version does it in 
514ms. The 'i386' version is somewhere near 600ms, since it has no fancy 
instruction scheduling.


Interestingly, _all_ of the 32-bit x86 optimized versions run just fine 
on that machine, meaning that GCC did not opt to use any instructions 
that are specific to a processor model/family... the performance 
improvements come only from scheduling the instruction flow.

On a dual processor Xeon (EM64T) would you reccomend turning
hypertreading on or off? I tend go for it off dual processor machines
just in case 2 processes end up on the one physical processor rather
than 2 processes on 2 different physical processors. What do you think?On 10/9/05, Kevin P. Fleming [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have no opinion; it would require real-world testing to know for sure.

My instincts tell me that HT would be counter-productive when running 
lots of transcoding, though, since HT CPUs don't have two FPUs. 
Dual-core CPUs do, obviously, so that would be a different situation.
