TAK is going to be a very big monster in terms of being a competitive codec... Thomas work is being amazing... so much implemented in little time... soon his TODO list will be done and then it's just destiny... Thank you! But i don't think my TODO list will ever get empty...Anyway the people with compression ratio in focus will use -p 2+. And for the speed folks the new -p 0 and -p 1 settings are welcome. So IMO things are alright for everybody's needs. That's exactly my valuation.I wonder how extra and maximum levels of evaluations will be affected in a new modified -p0 preset. If new -p0m will have the compression ratio on par with FLAC -8 probably I will stay with it. Or move to p1. Anyway encode and decode speeds will be more than enough high in a new version. Here the results for my primary test corpus: Compression % | Enco Speed * | Deco Speed * | 1.0.3b 1.0.4 | 1.0.3b 1.0.4 | 1.0.3b 1.0.4 | -----------------------+------------------+------------------+ -p0 58.31 58.83 | 77.70 91.00 | 105.64 120.15 | -p0e 58.10 58.67 | 56.00 69.67 | 104.66 118.40 | -p0m 57.97 58.54 | 29.29 34.06 | 104.96 118.82 | -p1 57.86 57.98 | 64.57 70.90 | 98.24 115.47 | -p1e 57.74 57.87 | 51.28 54.83 | 98.33 115.64 | -p1m 57.61 57.75 | 26.55 28.13 | 98.29 115.59 | -----------------------+------------------+------------------+ FLAC 1.2.1 | | | -5 59.03 | | | -8 58.74 | | | -----------------------+------------------+------------------+ Speed data expressed as multiple of real time on a Pentium 3 with 1000 MHz.
