Lossless / Other Codecs / Re: HALAC (High Availability Lossless Audio Compression)
Last post by Porcus -If we compare to other codecs' "preset choices", all for CDDA, then ALAC defaults to 4096 samples, ffmpeg's FLAC to 4608, TAK's largest -p4 modes have 0.25 seconds blocks, WavPack's is 0.5 I think down from 1 in WavPack 4, TTA (no measure of quality) a bit above 1 second, OptimFROG up to several and Monkey's ... I think the "Insane" mode is closing in on half a minute, but Insane is insane and the developer recommends not to use it.
So FLAC is already one which doesn't use big blocks, but it so turns out that the option to change parameters even more often, does improve.
Whether anything such is any priority for HALAC, which (in my view) is about showing what a new compression algorithm can do fast ...
