Opus / Re: Opus v1.5.1
Last post by Marsu42 -LACE/NoLACE is post-processor that works after SILK decoder and can be optionally enabled at decode time. In other words, there's no difference on the encoded bitstream
Thanks for the explanation - I have to admit that after reading the 1.5 release news. I didn't understand that there's no encoder side change at all. I hope apps will enable noLACE decoding - alas, it's probably hard to tell, esp. because there seems to be little difference at moderate bitates (I'm usually encoding podcasts at 24 kbps).
Another question: The release notes state "LACE and NoLACE are currently only applied when the frame size is 20 ms." (https://opus-codec.org/demo/opus-1.5/) - is this just for the time being at this will expand to other frame sizes? Until now, I've used 60 ms for podcast offline encoding to save a little file size...
