MP3 - General / Re: Resurrecting/Preserving the Helix MP3 encoder
Last post by KevinB52379 -Don't confuse @KevinB52379 to much.
Old hmp3 versions work, @JoshuaChang version works within foobar.
A solution at the source is worthwile in this case.
I was willing to give Hyperfire a shot...but to be honest I thought the same thing as you.
If the original version of Helix 64 bit works from ReallyRareWares, and @JoshaChan version works perfectly with foobar...then something else is the issue.
Also as I mentioned, I've used LAME (both 32 bit and 64 bit), FAAC 1.30, OPUS, Ogg Vorbis AoTuV, FDKAAC - all from RareWares, and they all behave normally, so I don't think it's a temperature/overheating issue. This is with foobar and all cores/threads being used. Perfect fine speed and system responsiveness.
I do think it is interesting that CPU utilization never reaches 100% like it does with Joshua's version, old Helix and Case's 32 bit binary.
