Short: Fast MPEG audio encoder (68k+FPU/PPC)
Uploader: kakace@pacwan.fr (Didier Levet)
Author: kakace@pacwan.fr (Didier Levet)
Type: mus/misc
Requires: AmigaOS 2.0+
Version: 1.5
Pegase v1.45, 6/6/99
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).
- Really Faaaaast (2.2:1 ratio using 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).
Requirements :
- AmigaOS 2.0 or better.
- 68020/68030/68RC040/68RC060 (FPU is MANDATORY) or a PPC 603/604
(WarpOS only). Note that the PPC version is experimental.
Distribution :
- EMail-ware. See the documentation for further details.
Future :
Dark if you expected Layer 3 support, bright if you expected
something more versatile.
News :
- Some little changes and bug fixes.
- Noticeable speedup (~15% on 68060/50)
- Experimental PPC version (WarpOS only).
