vorbis-tools 1.4.0, libvorbis 1.3.1, and libao 1.0.0 coordinated relea, March 26, 2010 Xiph's news Options

[icedtea]

xiphmont is aotuv still going to be merged? Last I heard it was going to be merged in 1.3.

[gameplaya15143]

oggenc2 -q 0 --advanced-encode-option lowpass_frequency=99

First test resulted in 6 channels in only 127kbps!

<3 xiphmont thanks for all the great work.

xiphmont is aotuv still going to be merged? Last I heard it was going to be merged in 1.3.

I am also concerning about this, by a quick test, version 1.3.1 is a bit faster than 1.2.3

...
Actually, the Microsoft docs say that if no channel mask is present, the default is all channels are present in order of bitmask. This is definitely what common usage is following.

OTOH, the Microsoft docs also say that > stereo requires WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE, but that feels like a retcon. I do know that wav files in the wild quite often just use WAVEFORMATEX for > 2 channels and that's normally handled as if it was WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE with a dwChannelMask of 0. In short, follow the default order (L,R,C,LFE,BL,BR,SL,SR...)

And I have the specs and didn't notice!! Thanks, Monty, I'll get this done.

[john33]

oggenc2 has been bumped to V2.86 to reflect the new channel mapping. New compiles and sources are now available at Rarewares.

I still have the issue where 64 bit compiles will run on XP x64, but not on Win 7 64 Ultimate. If anyone can offer any suggestions or ideas, they'd be most welcome. Just to mention that FLAC input works fine in both environments, but at the point of the first attempt to read a wave file, integer or float, it crashes in Win 7 64 while working as expected in XP x64. (aif files also suffer the same fate.)

Pipe encoding seems broken. Both generic & P4 builds.

How does libvorbis 1.3.1 compare to aotuv b5.7???

Seconding this question.

Also, unless I'm missing something, it doesn't look like there have been any major quality changes that affect my use of Vorbis (q5/6, 2.0 stereo, 44.1kHz), so I'm guessing I should just stick with aoTuV b5.7 for now.

Can anyone confirm or deny my assessment?

Confirm and deny. The new source code implements channel coupling models for 5.1 tracks for example and changes a few minor things that's the "deny" part. The "confirm" part is the source code doesn't include any AoTuV tunings due to the fact the they have to be tested to see if they resulted in any regressions first. While most people equate to the AoTuV tunings as being "better" nobody looks at the opposite whether or not they have actually caused a regression going backwards. Once that's determined they will be merged into the next release.

Foobar2000 1.0.1

I'm afraid I can't reproduce that here. I've tested on XP Pro SP3 (e4300 @ 3GHz), XP Pro X64 (Atom 330 dual core) and Win7 64 Ultimate (q6600 @ 3.2GHz); all with Foobar 1.0.1. I've tested using ape and wv files, tell me what you're using for input and I'll try that.

(Just as an aside, I'm leaving on vacation just after lunch today and won't return until late on April 11 so if you don't receive any response in the meantime it's because I'll not have any internet access while I'm away, not because I'm ignoring you!! )

[Emre]

...tell me what you're using for input and I'll try that.

i tried various sources (lossy & lossless) and i still get this error. once encoding starts oggenc2 immediately crash and encoding failed.
by the way oggenc2.85-1.3.1-P4 works flawlessly.

First, thanks for the new binaries.

The format sources in Foobar2000 aren't relevant because Foobar2000 always send WAV format to the encoders.

Using XP Pro SP3 (e4600 @ 2.4GHz), pipe issues:

For me work Foobar2000 v1.0.1 convert, but using other 'pipes' crash OggEnc2 with Error Code: 0xC0000005 (old oggenc2 work)

I can confirm the crashes too:

OggEnc 2.86 (libVorbis 1.3.1) from http://www.rarewares.org isn't working in foobar2000 1.0.1! Both compiles (P4 and generic) crash. OggEnc 2.85 is working fine!

[robert]

So, foobar writes localized text into the command line? It seems oggenc doesn't accept this, and it wouldn't work with LAME too, I fear, but would have to check later.

[sauvage78]

In my case the fix seems to work. (Edit: I only tested 2.0)

What is this (Everywhere) in the end of the vendor tag ? Does it means something ?

I can confirm the same problem. Same set up converting a 6 channel 384kbps .ac3 file of approx 1 hour 56 mins, the conversion failed at approx 1 hour 2 mins with the same message.

I suspect this may be something to do with the new channel coupling in libvorbis, but I'll need to do some more checking to be sure.
