Codec Efficiency Comparison Test (iPod)
Davide-NYC:
If I'm testing 21 files I want to make sure I'm testing the file I'm supposed to be testing.
I know myself and I know I'll get distracted or miss a file or whatever. This way confusion is impossible. I also want to minimize the WPS as much as possible in terms of CPU load. If we're to solicit the regular users (like me) in helping us test I feel it necessary to give something clear and comprehensible to look at.
Don't worry, I don't have CVS write access and I don't want it.
Rincewind:
maybe a nice solution would be a real (unofficial, nothing in cvs of course) testing version of rockbox with dedicated testing features like flushing the audio thread, clearing buffers with button presses, triggered timers...
but this would increase cpu load a little bit. But the question is: do we want to find out what the settings with the best cpu efficiency are or do we want to find the "best" codec?
senab:
How do you define the best decoder then?
Some people want more battery life
Some people want to fit more music on their player
Some people want both
What's best is personal to the user ;)
Davide-NYC:
My intention was just to see how different codecs performed across targets at a given time.
(been busy lately, will get to the wiki page ASAP)
soap:
The wiki entry is looking nice, but after looking at Senab's encode.bat I feel it is important to say that these are not CBR encodings - despite the implications made by both the filenames and the wiki page table.
