Recommended Encoder Versions and Settings
Reply #49 –
Thanks for all your help, QK! It really helps us newbies out!
One more question:
Regarding the 'impulse_trigger_profile' setting, you said:Note 1: There is the possibility that relaxed block switching may cause other quality problems and create suboptimal Vorbis files. So use sparingly and with caution.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'relaxed block switching'. Are you referring to a lower profile number in the 'impulse trigger profile' string (ie, --advanced-encode-option impulse_trigger_profile=0 (or 1))? In other words, are you recommending the use of higher ITP values?
I was intending to use an ITP value of 3 for most (if not all) of my files, but your warning to 'use sparingly and with caution' caused me to balk. Any clarification would be great!
Also, I noticed that in the 'Vorbis History' section, it still reads:...John33 merged the sources to give us GT3b2, which is now the recommended Vorbis encoder.
Does this still hold true in light of the release of 1.1?
Thanks again. I hope all these questions aren't a bother...
