Titolo: MPC Encoder: il primo PARTO di Frank Klemm

Siori e siore, ecco le news.
Frank Klemm ha gia' partorito un mppEnc ritoccato:
http://www.uni-jena.de/~pfk/mpp/
Ecco le novita':
--------------------------------------------------------
Advantages of this Encoder:
ca. 35% faster 
support of 8 . . . 32 bit linear PCM 
can encode also encode 1 channel files and multi channel files (only 
first two channels are encoded) 
support of directly reading LPAC compressed PCM files 
Can directly read from a pipe (max. 27 hours of audio possible) 
Support of WAVE files with 2...4 GByte (if file system supports this) 
some minor bug fixes (which do NOT affect audio quality) 
smoother fade out 
support of very verbose  -v -v 
Ci sono pero' anche degli svantaggi, anche se solo temporanei (ricordare 
che si tratta della prima uscita targata Frank Klemm):
Disadvantages of this Encoder:
- no clipping protection support (will be added later in a more 
sophisticated way)
- no "No Digital Silence" support (will be added later in a more 
sophisticated way) 
Still missing:
bass fake protection 
SV8 support 
much much more . . .
Clipping Protection: Currently clipping protection is a guess. This 
encoder do not write the data needed for clipping protection. In the 
future this will be done by a separate tool which always write the 
correct value. 
Digital Silence Removal will be combined with the album coding support. 
Digital silence will de derived to the next title of a album. So playback 
of a album is the same with and without this feature.

Goduria, ero certo che l'inserimento di Klemm nel progetto MPC sarebbe 
stato un valore aggiunto non da poco.
Cia', mumble

 Can directly read from a pipe (max. 27 hours of audio possible)
Cosa significa? Che si può codificare "al volo" direttamente da cd? Beh, ho
provato ad inserirlo nell' "External encoder" di CDex (1.40b9) con stringa
"%1 %2 -v", estensione mpc e "On the fly encoding" attivata, ma CDex
continua a copiare PRIMA la traccia wav su hd e POI a fare la codifica.
C'è bisogno di inserire qualche parametro particolare?
Ciao, e grazie.
Fede.


Purtroppo, se ho capito bene, questa limitazione rende inutilizzabile per
scopi 'seri' l'encoder.
Aspetterņ le releases successive.

Concordo con te, e' consigliato continuare ad usare la piu' recente di 
Buschmann: la notizia che ho riportata non aveva lo scopo di convincere 
ad usare questa versione di Klemm (che, ricordo, e' la sua prima ed e' 
una Alpha, non so se mi spiego), ma di fare il punto estremamente 
positivo per la situazione MPC, presente e futura.
A proposito, e' uscita la versione 1.0 di Helium (che a detta di alcuni 
e' uno dei migliori programmi del suo genere, io pero' non l'ho ancora 
provato) con supporto MPC. Qui un sommario:
