[Tremor] What can be the max code word length in a code book?

[Sanjaykumar Gupta]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I have another important question wrt 24 bit platform implementation of 
OggVorbis

What can be the max code word length in a code book?

In some cases, I have seen it is max 21 bits. Can it go beyond 24 bits? If 
it can occur, Can you suggest how to handle it in 24bit platform as we 
don't have any variable type representing more than 24 bit.

Please reply at your earliest.

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Minimum bitrate is extremely low. Much less than one kilobit per
second. Maximum bitrate is not strictly bounded in the full vorbis
specification (we still hope to create a 'portable friendly profile'
in the future), but over 500 kbps is unusual.

Not strictly bounded. You can experiment with the reference encoder at
very high bitrates to get an idea of what real streams are likely to
top out at.

Can be large. Several kilobytes is common. Perhaps a limit of 8 kB
might be reasonable for portable implementations?

I'd say tremor or tremor-lowmem, depending on whether you require
particularly low memory usage or not (note that -lowmem requires
somewhat more cpu).

You should ideally support all window sizes (i.e. from 64 to 8096).
The smaller ones (64 and 128) are pretty simple to deal with. 256,
512, 2048, and 4096 are all used by the reference encoder for common
cases, so are absolutely crucial. I think some encoders use 1024 as
well. 8096 is something you could skip if you don't have the memory
available, but if you can fit it in that would be preferable.

It's not obvious what you mean by "commercially available". Certainly
there were releases of the reference encoder (which is by far the most
commonly used one) which used floor0, and some people have floor0
files. However, later releases (including 1.0 and later) do not use
floor0, it's uncommon, and it's reasonable to remove support for it if
you have limited cpu power (it's significantly more cpu-intensive than
floor1).
