Hi Fellow broadcasters

Just a quick mail to let you all know that I have discovered severe instability problems

while attempting to use TuVb6.03 (winlame cddex) Ogg Vorbis and its associated LIB

On my system:

Amd 2800 (single core)
windows 2000
Oddcast V3

Previously I was using the original Oddcast V3 distibution codecs for more than 5years without problem

and the switch was made because I desided to upgrade to resent release of the ogg encoders.



I suspect that the problem is due to enbedded Surround-Sound support within the TuVb6.03 build

( my system is 2 channel Stereo, thou the hardware soundcard is 5:1 )



Also I notied during testing, that TuVb6.03 only appears to support sample rates of 44100 & 22050Khz

( I usually use 32000khz with Q=3.5 )!



also in comparision to the distribution one, TuVb6.03 codec

requires 300% more CPU time in order encode a FIXED bit-rate stream

( not that I use this mode, I was just testing it )!



Hence:

I am presently testing with libVorbis v1.3.2 libary & Ogg vorbis encoders.

hopefully these will be more sucessful. ( they certantly sound fine )

if not, I will be reinstating the original Oddcast (distribution) codec's & Libaries
