Short: Hi-Q mp2 audio encoder (68k+FPU/PPC)
Author: kakace@pacwan.fr (Didier Levet)
Uploader: kakace@pacwan.fr (Didier Levet)
Version: 1.6
Type: mus/misc
Requires: AmigaOS 2.0+
Pegase v1.60, 17/6/99
Pegase is a highly optimized MPEG audio encoder, based upon the
ISO/MPEG source code.
=================================================
PEGASE DOESN'T SUPPORT LAYER 3, AND WILL NEVER DO
=================================================
Features :
- Layer 1/Layer 2 encoding.
- Accept AIFF, MAUD, WAV, CDDA and RAW files (16 bits samples only).
- Really Faaaaast (2.2:1 ratio with a 68060/50).
- High quality encoding, which make layer 2 as good as layer 3
as long as you use a decent bitrate (>= 192 kbits/s).
- Rewritten with Amiga spirit in mind (4 Kb stack usage, ReadArgs
style command line parameters, file requester).
- Batch mode (can encode multiple files in one go).
Missing :
- Layer 3 (for ever).
- MPEG-2 support.
- Psycho-analyzer #1.
- 8-bit samples support.
Requirements :
- AmigaOS 2.0 or better.
- 68020/68030/68RC040/68RC060 (FPU is MANDATORY) or a PPC 603/604e
(WarpOS only).
Distribution :
- EMail-ware.
Future :
Pegase would become "pegase.library".
News :
- Some little changes and bug fixes (Pegase didn't start from the
Workbench in the latest version).
- Possible speedup for 68030 users.
- Up to date PPC version (WarpOS only). Should also be a bit faster.
- Some changes in the byte order detection routine that should give
more accurate results now (CDDA files only).
Current benchmark (68060/50) :
AIFF file (5'50), 15435000 samples per channel, 160 kbits/s.
