Ogg Vorbis For Hardware Makers

Posted by timothy on Wednesday September 4, 2002 @08:07AM from the iriver-are-you-listening dept.

SerpicoWasTaken writes "CNET has a story announcing the release of Tremor. It's an Ogg Vorbis (Vogg Gorbis, Vogg Orbus, or Ogg [unintelligable] as pronounced by the various managers in my office) decoder that does not require a floating point unit and could herald the rise of Ogg Vorbis compatible MP3 players." Update: 09/04 21:00 GMT by T : Sorry -- this story's a dupe.

I've submitted that story... I can't imagine that others haven't. Maybe they think it's a joke?

It was first mentioned way back on March 25th, and more recently in Slashback. Don't feel dumb though, I submitted the MSNBC story too but only later realized that it had been covered. Still, you'd think a place like Slashdot would give it a bit more press.
I guess that's why it's 'news for geeks' and not 'news for greeks'

Your example is of fixed point addition.

Re:Where to download encoder? by EdTheCzar · 2002-09-04 10:48 · Score: 2, Informative

http://www.vorbis.com/download_win.psp Get "vorbis-tools", located under the Encoders/ Jukeboxes header. The encoder itself is oggenc.exe, but included in the package is a number of other programs for using the encoder.
