Re: [MP3 ENCODER] What's Safe-VBR mode?

Could you please give a little more details about it? How does this actually work? Does this have any compatibility issue? And why not add an option for this in the binary? - Zia 3. "safe VBR". This mode is really CBR, but it keeps the bit reservoir as small as possible

I searched the archives and I don't think this has been mentioned before. I downloaded mp3encdemo31 [0] onto two 450Mhz pIII computers with identical hardware, one running NT4, one running red hat linux 6.0. The NT version seems about twice as fast, and they output different mp3s even if

Re: [MP3 ENCODER] More on free formats

2000-06-09 Thread Gabriel Bouvigne
I suspected that "free format" meant that the encoder wasn't restricted to the standard bitrate options, so if I'm right about that if an MPEG Layer3 stream was freeformat had no bit reservoir, would it be natively VBR? In free format mode, each frame is required to have the same size

These issues do not have any effect on the quality of the mp3's, but they do make it hard to validate a compiled version of lame. Using different compilers or just different optimizations or OS's will produce different results. This is why LAME has the "--nores" option. It will disable

Hi all, I have tried to compile LAME 3.70 using the Watcom compiler (host+target was OS/2). Using highest optimization, there seems to be some trouble with the pow function. I have used only time optimization (not fastest possible code). There remain some errors in pow inside the

The tonality is used for the spreading function. The more noiselike a signal, the more masking it generates. Isn't it the other way around? More tonal - more masking? Ciao, Segher If you believe the psymodels in the ISO docs, it appears that more noise like - more masking. In

I am not major in psychoacoustic effect but I am wondering the way LAME's(and ISO dist10's) psychoacoustic noise threshold calculation. it is calculated by the way like this. E(i) : energy of bark i T(i) : threshold of bark i R(i) : ratio of bark i E'(i) : energy of band(scalefactor

Re: [MP3 ENCODER] What's Safe-VBR mode?

2000-06-09 Thread Robert Hegemann
The Safe-VBR mode is more a constant rate encoding than a variable rate encoding. I made (not in CVS) a switch allowing to specify a target bitrate with --abr 157 and noticed that 157 kbits would be reached more often than not. OK that fatboy sample needed a lot more than the target bitrate

This is a bug in the tables - that first line should be a 0 3 instead of 0 2. I have just fixed this, but it should have very little effect on the output. Ok, nice that we found that one then. ;)) And I dont think this could cause any crashes though. Can you try adding a check in that loop
