aoTuVbeta6.02 Options

[Anakunda]

Hi, why aoTuVbeta6.02 Compiles are not available @ Rarewarez, could somebody so kind and made oggenc2 + dlls available to public, thankyou

[alter4]

Do you mean 6.03?

[Anakunda]

sure, 6.03
it's couple of days

[Anakunda]

sure, 6.03
it's couple of days

Okay I `ve made an attempt for optimized OggEnc2 build. Please for testing.

I replace the oggenc2.exe from rarewares with yours and the included dll's but I get the following message from Foobar2000 when I convert:

Source: "D:\Audio\Pennywise - Live @ The Key Club\Pennywise - 02 - Wouldn't it Be Nice.flac"
An error occurred while finalizing the encoding process (Object not found) : "D:\Pennywise - 02 - Wouldn't it Be Nice.ogg"
Conversion failed: Object not found

I use the same command line as I did with the rarewares 6.02 that worked and it is the following:
%s -q 3.5 --advanced-encode-option lowpass_frequency=17 --advanced-encode-option impulse_noisetune=-15 -o %d

I use Windows XP SP3 on this laptop.
Regards

Do you get an crash or error message during conversion?
I think it requires SSE 4.1 or higher to run as it was compiled as optimized build.
Try to copy msvcr100.dll and libmmd.dll to same directory.

[punkrockdude]

Oh, I see. This Intel Centrino only has SSE2 I think. Regards.

[Anakunda]

Ah so, If I get some positive confirmation about proper conversion I can try to make a more generic build tomorrow.

[punkrockdude]

I just tried it on my Intel Q9550 with Windows 7 x64 and it works. The processor was in 1.9GHz mode to save power and not in full 2.83GHz and it was about 50x times faster than realtime.

[Anakunda]

Just for the case I`ve made a more generic build that should run on any CPU:

Not Tested

[punkrockdude]

The generic version worked on my Intel Centrino 1.75GHz and the speed was about 9x. Regards

[punkrockdude]

By the way, thank you a lot for these builds! I really appreciate it. Regards.

[punkrockdude]

Is it a lot of work to make a SSE2 version. I do not expect you to make one but just wonder if it is something you might be interested in making? Regards.

Not so much work, if there'll be some interest for SSE2 I might do that level also.
Thanks for testing.

No problem at all. You are the one to be thanked! Regards.

In the meantime you can test my compile.
It doesn't have built-in FLAC reader and resampler but since you use oggenc2 as encoding backend for foobar2000 they are useless anyway.

[Destroid]

Thanks for that. Tested SSE2 version on Athlon64 3000+ and got twice the encoding speed of VEnc without any anomalous bitrate/quality differences (tested on commentary DVD track at @100kbps). Speed of your OggEnc2 was about on-par with Musepack and right between Nero and CELT.

If you want gory details I'll post later

[Destroid]

This test was for multiple reasons: a) to expand my knowledge of DVD video extraction process (heard that CELT did better with 48KHz and figured stereo AC3 converted to WAV would work; b) to test CELT encoding speed in regards to the statement that it was a magnitude faster because of no psy-model and other reasons; c) just another general encoder speed test carried out on a not-so-modern machine. Seems CELT could benefit from optimizations. But anyhow, I ended up putting results here since the OggEnc2 compile (SSE2) above seemed dramatically faster than Venc.

This test focused on lossy encoders aiming for a VBR setting which would result in @100kbps since I figured a DVD commentary track was less complex and needed no 5.1->stereo conversion. I think 100kbps for this material is overkill since there is virtually no audible winner here. Lossless codecs were added to reflect the material was non-complex and easily compressed.

[IgorC]

Those were interesting numbers.

I think 100kbps for this material is overkill since there is virtually no audible winner here.

Since it is DVD audio track then even 64-80 kbps will be more than enough (excluding MP3 perhaps)

A full set of beta6.03 compiles is now at Rarewares.

[Destroid]

john33- I noticed your P4 compile is much slower than lvqcl's compile, close to Venc . This was running an Athlon64. Seemed strange enough that I re-ran tests on both compiles to confirm.

[IgorC]

I´ve experienced slow encoding speed too with rarewares compilation on my AMD cpu. http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....st&p=726406

[Destroid]

Great, it's the compiler. The Rarewares generic compile gets 10x speed, the SSE's get 12x. Meanwhile the lvqcl gets 26x

[Anakunda]

I have compared the speeds and lvqcl's oggenc is about 1.5x faster than every other compile.
If raw streams binary compared, each compile generated binary different output, maybe it's due to each compiler operates with different floating point precision.

Hmmm, I'll check the compiler options I've used.
