    I hate to reply to the crap, but anyways...

    Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the "moon" anywhere in literature or historical documents -- anywhere -- before 1950.

    ha ha ha ha ha.

    Genesis 37:9 - Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. "Listen," he said, "I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me."

    Last time I checked, the Bible was older than 1950.

    There seems to be an error in the link. Try http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/et-linux-test-2.32. x86.run.torrent for a download. I'm currently getting it at about 130Kb/s

    I built the files using quality=8, complexity=10. For author, i put in the name of the person speaking that morning. I use VBR. Title is the title. In the comments, I also put the date, and the name of our church (seperate comments).

    I did some testing, and VBR provided the smallest file size at a given quality - YMMV. Having a high complexity also made the file slightly smaller.

    I use windows to record, process, and the compress the files. From the Speex website I am using the Windows binaries.

    I also wrote a little program in QuickBasic (stop laughing) that builds a batch file with all the switches so I can more easily compress the file (it is more for my benefit so I'm less likely to make a typo).

    Our church has recently just started recording sermons to CD and the like.

    I am using an old Toshiba laptop with Win98 and Cool Edit 2000 to record the sermon. I then take it home, and do the post processing there (snip extra bits of the start & end, run noise reduction, etc). People who request a cd of it get a copy created. I also convert the file into a Speex file (a 45 minute sermon is about 225Mb in size in .WAV, about 12Mb in Speex). A copy is available on the church's website. At the end of the year, we will produce a CD with a year worth of semon's on it. What this needs to really be easy to use, is a front end that play's back the Speex files, using a GUI that is easy to use (does anybody want to write one?).

    The sound card on the Toshiba is pretty noisy. It has a constant hiss at about the -45db level. I am able to filter most of this out using CoolEdit2000's noise reduction. In the future, I am considering either using a desktop (with a better sound card), or getting a USB sound card, which should be quieter.
