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 v1.1 was also released but was immediately superseded by v1.2 due to an uncorrected bitrate bug.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…
Hi everyone, Today, I provide you a build of opusenc.exe from the opus-tools package. This version includes libopus-1.3-rc-19 which includes the opus commits up to commit eb55ebf This version of opusenc.exe was compiled using Visual Studio 2017 and was compiled for 64-bit systems. You can download this new build by clicking here This build is also compatible with Opus GUI. Just replace the software opusenc.exe file with the one from this build, or download Opus GUI v1.0 with this opusenc…
Hi everyone, Today, I have released Opus GUI v1.0, which is a tool to encode FLAC or WAV files to the Free and Open Source Opus file format: It is very easy to use, just follow these steps: Browse for a folder that contains FLAC or WAV files. Browse for a folder to store the encoded files. Write a bitrate number. I personally use 64 to encode files to 64kbit using Variable Bit Rate. Press the “Start” button. That’s all!…
Hi everyone, Today, I have released v1.2 of FLAC GUI: This version adds Multi-Threaded encoding, meaning that each of your CPU threads will encode a file, significantly speeding up the encoding process. For example, if you have a folder with lots of music files and you have an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X CPU which has 16 threads, you’ll be encoding 16 music files at a time! This assuming that the folder contains 16 or more files. If the folder contains…
Hi everyone, Today, I’ve released FLAC GUI v1.1: This new version includes 2 options that will further improve the compression of the FLAC files. These options are: Exhaustive model search (-e flag in the flac.exe command line) Exhaustively search LP coeff quantization (-p flag in the flac.exe command line) By enabling these options in the GUI, you’ll save a few kb per FLAC files but the encoding time will be a little slower. If you don’t mind waiting a few…
Hi everyone, Today, I did a quick experiment using a relatively new Open Source Lossy audio format called Opus, by the Xiph.Org foundation. I downloaded the opus-tools package from the official Opus Website and tried a tool called “opusenc.exe”. Wow! I was really impressed by the sound quality! I like to listen to my audio CD music collection, and I personally have them ripped to the FLAC audio format, which is a Lossless Audio Codec, but being Lossless means it…
Repository: https://github.com/moisespr123/BOINCToWeb Hi everyone, In the weekend, I worked to improve the BOINC Tasks section of my website: Instead of manually updating this page, I’ve updated the PHP files in charge of retrieving the tasks and showing it. This file was custom made and was not in the GitHub repo. Instead, the file that was in the repo was the one that looks like this: Because that one shows all of the tasks from all of the hosts, I made…
Hi everyone, Today, I have released a new version of my tool to manage your Google Drive account: Google Drive Uploader & Explorer Tool v1.8.5. This new version adds 2 brand-new features. Let’s talk about them now: File count added This version adds a file counter to the File List, so you know how many files are in a given folder when you browse it: In this example, you can see I have 28 files in this folder, which are eBooks…
Hi everyone, Today morning, I continued working with the Google Drive Upload Tool I wrote last year. This time, I implemented a feature that lets you know the copy progress when a file is being copied to RAM before uploading it. This required some code changes and a little refactoring. First, the UpdateBytesSent function was updated, with a new Delegate Sub invoker for when we need to invoke certain elements. It also now requires the passing of parameters BytesSent, StatusText, and startTime: By doing this code rewrite,…
