(I have a cdparanoia question dating back from a comment made in the septemeber05 meeting... 22:07 < derf_> Yeah. I'm almost certain that's one I won't be able to answer. 22:07 < nemo> *heh* 22:07 < nemo> it's a pjones, or monty question I think 22:08 < derf_> Monty is likely on a plane or in an airport on his way back from NC right now. 22:09 < nemo> *nods* 22:09 < jmworx> Monty's at RH HQ now 22:09 < derf_> jmworx: Right, that's in NC. 22:10 < jmworx> yes 22:10 < derf_> He was supposed to be leaving directly after the training stuff was over. 22:10 < jmworx> oh 22:10 < jmworx> derf_: got any time to play with the noise shaping stuff? 22:10 < derf_> jmworx: Sadly, no. 22:11 < derf_> Lately my free time has gone towards actually implementing the motion compensation ideas I've been sitting on for over 3 years now. 22:12 < derf_> jmworx: Want to give us a status update on Speex? 22:18 < jmworx> sure 22:19 < jmworx> The work I was doing on porting the acoustic echo canceller to fixed-point (for Analog Devices) in completed. 22:19 < jmworx> Monty and I just got an abstract accepted for the next AES convention in Paris. 22:20 < jmworx> (we need to write the paper now!) 22:20 < derf_> What's the subject of the paper? 22:20 < jmworx> The idea is to apply the Vorbis psychoacoustic model to Speex. 22:20 < derf_> Ah, yes. 22:20 < jmworx> After some strange kludges, it seems to work now. 22:21 < derf_> Soudns like a good opportunity to actually document it, if anyone can figure out how it works. 22:21 < jmworx> The result is the equivalent of saving 15-25% bit-rate for equal quality... according to PESQ. 22:21 < jmworx> I'm waiting for Monty to write that part ;-) 22:21 < derf_> I think we've been waiting for him to write that part for years. 22:22 < jmworx> That's pretty much what he said -- a good opportunity to document it! 22:22 < derf_> Maybe a conference deadline will be sufficient motivation. 22:22 < jmworx> Deadline is 15th of March IIRC 22:22 < jmworx> hopefully, he'll be able to make it to the conf too 22:23 < derf_> Well, I look forward to reading it, either way. 22:24 < derf_> Any news about ghost? 22:32 < jmworx> Still very... ghost-y 22:33 < jmworx> I've been playing with a couple interesting ideas, but it's just experiments so far. 22:33 < derf_> Well, I imagine it will remain that way for a while yet. 22:35 < derf_> I guess I can do a Theora update. 22:35 < derf_> Not a great deal has happened in the past month, but Theora is supposed to be Monty's #1 priority at Red Hat, so hopefully next month that will be different. 22:37 < derf_> I started work on an ABR mode for the experimental encoder (as in, 0.5s to 2s buffer), but I stopped and wanted to re-think some things before proceeding. 22:37 < derf_> In the course of my other MC experients, though, I did find and fix a few severe bugs in theora-exp's motion estimation. 22:39 < derf_> If anyone else is actually here and can contribute a project update, please do so. 22:39 < jmworx> MC==? 22:39 < derf_> Motion Compensation. 22:39 < jmworx> right 22:59 < derf_> Well, since it doesn't look like anyone else's going to show up, I move we adjourn the meeting. 23:00 < derf_> Presumably the agenda items that had no one here to represent them will be moved to the next one, hopefully with better luck. 23:01 < derf_> Thanks for coming, all two of you who made it, if you've bothered to stick around. --- Log closed Tue Feb 07 23:04:20 2006
