@lamb @wyatt Fortunately, Opus is available out of the box pretty much everywhere nowadays except in Safari prior to macOS 15.4. This was helped by Opus being a collaboration between vendors (Microsoft and Xiph), not just something coming out of Xiph's or Google's cathedral. I do see on https://caniuse.com/opus that Safari supported Opus in Apple's CAF container before Xiph's Ogg container; might Apple have identified some obscure patent encumbering Ogg?

And you're right that Opus soundly beats MP3 in the "bitrate needed to stop being terrible" measure.

Apple added OPUS and FLAC support to AudioToolbox a while ago (iOS 17), but for some reason AVPlayer does not support it.

While I appreciate it, it feels very half ass. It’s like they want to use it internally (iMessage Audio Messages are using OPUS), but they don't want to incentivize a larger adoption of it.

So if you want to use OPUS to play audio, you need to build the whole HTTP Streaming mechanic on your own.

Das #Xiph Directory ist wohl gerade nach Bad Gateway umgezogen.

Hat jemand einen Status? Wann das wieder läuft?

Never mind that I saved this to the wrong place.

I like #PhonographPlus because I can edit the tags. There are so many tag fields! I decided for full albums, some are worth writing the tracklist in a [custom] field. Perhaps there is a better choice, I'm not sure yet but, this will do.

He documented the process on his blog, joining the tracks as a single stream and compressing it down to 6.7 kbps until it fit a single 1.44 Mio 3½-inch disk.

FFmpeg librav1e is the Xiph encoder for AV1. Compile with --enable-librav1e. Rav1e claims to be the fastest software AV1 encoder, but that really depends on the setting.

AMD, or the Advanced Media Framework, provides developers with optimal access to AMD GPU for multimedia processing. AMD AMF AV1 Encoder is designed to meet the individual needs by ajusting the resolution, bit rate, frame rate, encoding quality, and more.
