Bitrate Peeling with Ogg Vorbis

Posted by michael on from the geek-cool dept.

Yort writes "Thought this might be interesting to some audiophile /.ers - there's been some discussion on the Ogg Vorbis lists, summarized in the most recent Ogg Traffic, about "bitrate peeling". In short, it's where you can simply "peel off" the high resolution data from the ends of an audio stream packet to come up with a smaller, lower quality stream. Brings up a number of geek-cool opportunities."

    mp3pro has high frequency compression that has a decent sound at a low additional bitrate. Although it's not free, we are talking about technically cool here and compressing high frequencies on the fly would be way better than just stripping them.

    As it is I am not very entusiastic about listening to more poor-sounding low-bandwidth streams. I *am* very interested in better sounding low-bandwidth streams over my dialup at home.

    That should be, "All your base are belong to Bortman." Please fix, OK? Thanks.
