lame
lame 3.100 vs ffmpeg 5.1
Use lame –abr 8 *.wav or *.mp4
codec2, c2enc, c2dec
compile from https://github.com/drowe67/codec2
Compress, decompress and play a file using Codec 2 at 2400 bit/s:
./src/c2enc 2400 ../raw/hts1a.raw hts1a_c2.bit
./src/c2dec 2400 hts1a_c2.bit hts1a_c2_2400.raw
playe with aplay:
aplay -f S16_LE hts1a_c2_2400.raw
Or using Codec 2 at 700C (700 bits/s):
./src/c2enc 700C ../raw/hts1a.raw hts1a_c2.bit
./src/c2dec 700C hts1a_c2.bit hts1a_c2_700.raw
aplay -f S16_LE hts1a_c2_700.raw
opus
ffmpeg -i a.mp3 -vn -c:a libopus -ac 1 -ar 8000 -b:a 500 -vbr constrained -compression_level 0 -application lowdelay output22.mkv
ffmpeg -i <input> -c:a libopus -ac 1 -ar 16000 -b:a 8K -vbr constrained out.opus
Here, -ac sets the output to mono, -ar sets the sampling rate to 16 kHz, and -b:a
sets the bitrate to 8 kBit/s. The constrained variable bitrate mode is
used here. In principle, it’s not strictly necessary to downsample and
downmix to mono with ffmpeg , as that is something libopus will do on its own to reach the specified bitrate target.
music
Opus can also be used as a high fidelity music compression codec.
There is little support on iOS.
