Any idea of Opus 1.4? 2020-10-15 07:40:44 Will there be any big changes for Opus 1.4?, Like bigger jumps for <128kbps & squish few more killer samples.

Reply #1 – 2020-10-16 19:54:25 Personally I would like to have,but to have same quality at 205 q6 musepackstill no encoder is itif you want same quality at lower spaceI don't know if Opus 1.4 could have a similar better quality.Even if 141 kbps cvbr music maybe can be a a middle ground with opusrugbut people want vbr because they want more efficiency in parity of qualityand they want to encode films/movies.Talking seriously194 kbps cvbr speech in 1.3.1-71 sounded a bit better46 kbps is sounding good 1.3.1-78 1.3.1-64 and up there are some improvements even for music that isn't too classical (not Bach).But still, Latin (Spanish) music has difficulties as I heard on this forum, some people hear not artifacts but it sounds different.But telling seriously opus 1.4 is far from release so I would use FLAC.

Re: Any idea of Opus 1.4? Reply #2 – 2020-10-16 20:14:06 SERIOUS COMMENTafter 141 kbps CVBR music you won't hear anything (Opusrug)only after 299 kbps CVBR music (opus 1.4)so Opus 1.4 will like improve high bitrates like 300 kbps will sound better and Latin music. But on course I don't know what j m valin is doing. Maybe that will be Opus 1.3.2 or opus 1.5, we don't know yet. Last Edit: 2020-10-16 20:24:20 by fabiorug

Reply #3 – 2020-10-16 20:23:56 I also have a 74 kbps VBR musictool Lavf58.27.103Lavc58.52.102 libopusthat I re encoded with opusrug at 22 kbps VBR music and it sound great.I encoded it on 2019-06-12, with the exact ffmpeg Zeranoe daily builds, the site is closed so I don't know which Libopus commit it was.It works well on all bitrates but obviously I won't push audio codecs at those bitrates.

Re: Any idea of Opus 1.4? Reply #5 – 2020-10-17 19:48:07 i should talk more about opus 1.4but people with 96 kbps music 1.3.1 are fully satisfiedthey don't need equivalent of musepack q6 205 kbpsfor example people think that opusrug 102 kbps vbr detect automatically is waste of bitrateand that all thing should be used with preset --music as is better and tuned for music and the official developer has stated itand 102 kbps is too high for most people, they only encode music who has transparency if a music needs 102 kbps the reasoning is that is poor source.Audio codecs are based on ABX tests and transparency and people follow that and it's right, metrics aren't good as subjective tests.128 kbps is wasting of bitrate you're right for lossy especially how people listen with sbc bluetooth codecs and with poor headphonesFor example in AV1 video encoders people write 96 kbps as "high quality".The important bitrates in video encoding for the audio track, are the one people hear. Sorry for being off topicbut an AV1 user/encoder said:If you care enough about audio to have an opinion you will use a custom bitrateAlso mind you music obviously needs more bits than non music or diegetic audioWhich movies have a lot of...But anyway seriously the only thing sure is that Opus 1.4 will have bug fixes.
