- Short: Hi-Q mp2 audio encoder (68k/PPC)
- Author: kakace@pacwan.fr (Didier Levet)
- Uploader: kakace@pacwan.fr (Didier Levet)
- Version: 1.7
- Type: mus/misc
- Requires: AmigaOS 2.0+
-
- Pegase v1.61, 15/8/99
-
- 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 or a PPC 603/604e (WarpOS only).
-
- Distribution :
- - EMail-ware.
-
- News :
- - Fixed a bug that caused the progress bar to be shown for the first
- file only (batch mode).
- - Pegase now deletes any existing filename's extension before adding
- ".mp?", unless you provide a destination filename.
- - Added a workaround to avoid a crash when FPU versions are ran on
- machines without FPUs (untested).
- - New keywords MOTOROLA and INTEL to deal with CDDA files and PIPEs.
- - Special 68020 version (without FPU) for the ones who wanted it.
-
- Current benchmark (68060/50) :
- AIFF file (5'50), 15435000 samples per channel, 160 kbits/s.
