- The file L3V099C.ZIP is the zipped version of the
-
- shareware ISO-MPEG Audio Layer 3 software only Encoder and Decoder
- Version 0.99c for IBM PCs and compatibles.
- copyright Fraunhofer - IIS 1994
-
- Here are the highlights of the Layer3 shareware package:
- - evaluate highest quality perceptual audio compression technique
- available today
- - software only encoder and decoder implementations
- - implements ISO/MPEG Audio standard ISO/IEC IS 11172-3, Layer 3
- (restriction: no support of Layer I and II, no realtime)
- - wide range of compression ratios including
- 6:1 fully transparent quality
- 11:1 64 kbps per channel, very high quality
- 16:1 still better than your average 16 bit 44.1 kHz sound card
- - music data is input in raw format (16 bit signed integer)
- - 44.1kHz sampling frequency (version 1.0 supports also 32 kHz and 48 kHz)
- - packed bit stream conforming to ISO/MPEG Layer III
- - output of decoder is in raw format (16 bit signed integer)
- - optional .WAV header for decoder output data. Resulting music files
- can be played with Windows Media Player.
- - written by the very same people at Fraunhofer-IIS who did the
- Layer 3 codecs for the ISO and CCIR tests (best sound quality at
- low bit rates at all listening tests).
- - commercial real time products for encoding and/or decoding of
- ISO/MPEG Layer 3 auddio are available. Contact one of the companies
- listed in the file info.txt.
