Hi everyone, Today, I’ve been performing some AV1 encoding tests using the rav1e encoder. You need an AV1-compatible web browser to see the videos below. The following videos were encoded using speed 10 and different quantizer settings to compare the quality. rav1e is in constant development so I’ll be performing lots of tests. The following uses the appveyor build from yesterday. I’ve managed to install the dependencies needed to build myself rav1e when new commits comes out, so expect my…

New opusenc.exe build with a bug fix regarding the output filename

New opusenc.exe build with a bug fix regarding the output filename

Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, Today, I fixed a bug in my opusenc code regarding the output filename when it is not provided. The issue was that if a file didn’t had an extension, then the output string would be empty, so in reality, the encoded file would not be stored. This has been fixed in my latest commits still awaiting approval to be merged into the official opusenc GitHub repository. The new updated code is the following: There are now two “if”…

Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, Today, I’d like to show you the steps to rip your Audio CD to Opus using Exact Audio Copy and my latest opusenc.exe build. Why use my opusenc.exe build? First, it includes the newly added –tracknumber argument which enables you to easily pass the track number to the opus file. Second, it is not needed to specify the output filename, as it will use the same input name. For Exact Audio Copy, this means that you only need…

Hi everyone, Today, I’ve released Opus GUI: This build brings an option to enable or disable multithreading and also allows you to encode files to the same input folder by leaving the output textbox blank.

Opus GUI v1.2 released!

Opus GUI v1.2 released!

Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, Late yesterday, I released v1.2 of Opus GUI: This new release brings several improvements. v1.1 was also released but was immediately superseded by v1.2 due to an uncorrected bitrate bug. First, the GUI will now display the opusenc.exe version being used. This is useful because sometimes, new opusenc versions are released which I personally compile and try to see if there’s new improvements to the audio files. The other improvement is that the software will try to detect…
