[vorbis-dev] Some very early RC1 results

[Chase Venters]

I think I've heard that some MP3 players that also play OGG "enhance" the
playback and boost up the high end since MP3 flattens it. Ogg's, apparently,
is stronger... so it come on even more.

Any truth to that?

Hi all,

I started testing the RC1 encoder at

ftp://sjeng.sourceforge.net/pub/sjeng/oggdrop.exe

(based on branch_monty_20010708)

On the songs I have tested so far (not much :)
I did not hear any stereo issues, but there are
some very noticeable problems with the produced files.

Songs without much high-end will suddenly have one
when encoded. (you'd expect it the other way around)
It nearly sounds as if the encoder adds 'hiss'.

Beta4 at 128Kbps does not have the same artifacts.

Monty noted on IRC:

The biggest to expect is that very high frequency
diffuse noise will tend to shrink toward a point.

However, this sounds like it's something else than
what I am experiencing.
