[speex-dev] RE: [speex-dev] Difference in Encoding of files on Pocket PCvis-à-vis desktop

[Asheesh Vashishtha]

Hello Jean-Marc,

I encoded a 143 kb file on both the desktop as well as the Pocket PC using the default settings/
Here are the results.

Size : Desktop - 17.6 Kb, Pocket PC -17.1 kb (not much difference in size)

Now when I try to decode the file encoded on the Pocket PC, I get a message
"This doesn't look like a Speex file". However, when I decode the Pocket PC encoded file on Pocket PC, it plays fine.

Same applies for the file encoded on the desktop. If I decode the desktop encoded file on Pocket PC, I get a completely
broken sound that is totally indecipherable, but it plays fine when decoded on the desktop.

Isn't it possible to decode a desktop encoded file on Pocket PC? 
Do I have to make change some settings?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Thanks & regards,
Asheesh

<p>Hi,

I suspect something related to endianness or word size here. Can you
check that the encoded files end up the same size? Also, what if you
encode on the Pocket PC and decode on a desktop? Maybe if you encode a
small wav file on both pocket PC and desktop using default options and
send me the results.
