A lot of open-source enthusiasts and advocates are very excited about Google latest announcement of VP8 / Vorbis combo in a new container called WebM. The entire HTML 5 enthusiasts are so excited that they went a ahead a little to prematurely are building suboptimal builds! Michael Niedermeyer of FFMPEG projects acknowledges that the FFMPEG Vorbis encoder is buggy! Monty has a work around on his blog if you plan on building the WebM encoder under Linux. I am also providing an explanation in the wiki as to why it's generally a good idea to use the mainline libvorbis with libavcodec instead due to the fact that is has 5.1 channel coupling implemented correctly! Please spread the word as this will turn into a disaster sooner or later before it's patched. If you thought the HTML 5 wars are not bad enough now!

QUOTE (NullC @ Jun 13 2010, 20:13)  TOS #8!!! How is it TOS8 if the user is just passing on word that ffmpeg is acknowledging a known bug in their encoder? Do we need to ABX for programming errors now? Sarcasm aside, Kohlrabi does make a good point. |

Do we need to ABX for programming errors now? Sarcasm aside, Kohlrabi does make a good point. It's not buggy in that sense. It's not like it crashes. The claim is that it produces significantly poor quality. Squarely within the sights of TOS8. There are some people who do not believe these claims, or at least think they are exaggerated. The largest and most visible user of WEBM is using ffvorbis. It would be useful to have an independent (from the developers of libvorbis) validation of the perceptual performance... since the "well known suggestion to use libvorbis" is not that well known. |
