MP3 - General / Re: Resurrecting/Preserving the Helix MP3 encoder
Last post by john33 -
Thanks for the various builds! It's interesting to see what compilers give what results.

(In particular, I'm interested to see how modern compilers fare compared to the old Visual Studio with the somewhat archaic ASM parts - I think those are somewhat superfluous and suboptimal now.)
...
Intel/MASM build: 11.44 secs
win32-P4 optimised: 11.53 secs (no MASM)
Generic x64: 9.58 secs
AVX2 optimised: 10.09 secs!!
All encoding the 800MB Beatles 'Love Album'.

Edit: Bottom 3 are all GCC 14.1.0.

@l4cache The Helix MP3 Encoder is licensed under a "proper" free software license. It should be very okay to put those on GitHub (unless you mix in incompatible source code).

"devicePriority.properties.fixNoDevice[1] <= 10 ? 10 : 25);"

I don't understand the syntax.
What's the first 10, second 10 and the 25?
What do I change to lower the timings to let's say half? 5, 5, 12?

This one adds a setting to tweak the workaround timing (which is now disabled by default). On line 363 you may lower the time it starts to apply after turning off a device, in case it still fails.
