- Short: VHQ MPEG audio encoder (68k/PPC)
- Author: kakace@pacwan.fr (Didier Levet)
- Uploader: kakace@pacwan.fr (Didier Levet)
- Version: 1.8g
- Type: mus/misc
- Requires: AmigaOS 2.0+
-
- Pegase v1.86, 23/9/2000
-
- 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
- =================================================
-
- But before complaining about that, try the layer 2 by yourself.
- It is able to compete with Layer 3 (mp3) now, but the encoded
- files remain a bit larger (+25%, because you still have to use
- a bitrate greater or equal to 160 kbits/s).
-
- Features :
- - MPEG-1 Layer 1/Layer 2 encoding.
- - Accept AIFF, MAUD, WAV, CDDA and RAW files (16 bits samples only).
- - Really Faaaaast (2:1 ratio with a 68060/50).
- - Very high quality encoding, which make layer 2 as good as layer 3
- as long as you use a decent bitrate (>= 160 kbits/s).
- - Batch mode (can encode multiple files in one go).
-
- Missing :
- - Layer 3.
- - MPEG-2 support.
- - Psycho-analyzer #1.
- - 8-bit samples support.
- - Resampling.
-
- Requirements :
- - AmigaOS 2.0 or better.
- - 68030/68RC040/68RC060 or a PPC 603/604e (WarpOS only).
-
- Distribution :
- - EMail-ware.
-
- News :
- - Layer 1 snr and quantization tables have been fixed (long standing
- bug).
- - Little speedup due to a reduced attenuation limit in the spreading
- function.
- - The absolute threshold tables have been changed again.
- - Little modification on the scale factors select information pattern
- in order to match more closely the subband level in some cases.
- All in all, this version should be the best release so far...
