Message-ID: <19990824163103.A51054@nathan.ruhr.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.4i Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, I've recently found a couple pieces of music in a new (to me, at least) format called VQF. VQF is suposed to be the successoar of mp3 - smaller files, better quality. Unfortunately, encoding and decoding VQFs is more expensive (in terms of CPU usage) than en- or decoding MP3. And the various audio tools for FreeBSD don't support VQF. The VQF format is part of the upcoming MPEG-4 standard and a referencce implementation for the mp4 software is 'freely' available. I'm certainly willing to try and port this reference implementation to FreeBSD but I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Is anybody already working on this stuff? /s/Udo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
