AMR Plugin for Adobe Audition

May 10th, 2008 Posted in Free Software | 21 Comments »

Hello people,

I have received some requests for writing a plugin for Adobe Audition. So here it is. It can do both - decode and encode AMR files. Installation is simple - just copy the mmamr.flt file into the Adobe Audition directory and you should be good to go.

The source code is a part of the amr_pack repository.

MONOGRAM AAC Decoder 0.9.5.0

April 20th, 2008 Posted in Free Software | 51 Comments »

Hey,

yet another small fix. Thanks goes to clsid for reporting this bug. Output of the decoder got screwed when output mixing was active and you switched audio streams with different number of channels.

MONOGRAM AAC Decoder 0.9.4.0

April 18th, 2008 Posted in Free Software | 6 Comments »

Hello people,

after a while there is a small upgrade for the AAC decoder. There are 3 major issues that have been worked out.

  •  2.1 and 5.1 mixing matrices fixed - rear speakers now work
  • merit was increased to MERIT_NORMAL + 2
  • added compatibility hacks to work with Media Player Classic

The last mentioned is a bit tricky because you might have other decoders installed on your system such as ffdshow or DScaler. If MONOGRAM AAC Decoder is not used automatically you might need to do some manual tweaking to make it work. I might do some more inspectations on this issue.

Why Adobe sucks this time

April 12th, 2008 Posted in News | 2 Comments »

Ever since I’ve started to play with the idea of implementing an own flash server I’ve been checking out flash builds more frequently than usually. After the last Flash Player 9.0.124.0 release I really feel the need to write something about it, Adobe’s steps and the way I feel about all of this.

Opensource alternative to Flash Media Server (Updated)

April 8th, 2008 Posted in News | No Comments »

Hello people,

there is a new hobby project going to be released very shortly :) It’s supposed to be an opensource alternative to flash media server and should be able to deliver H.264 and AAC streams into any regular flash player.

Right now we’re finalizing repositories and preparing some nice project website so stay tuned. You can find more information as well as live demonstration on the FASS subpage.

Update: Latest Flash Player (9.0.124.0) and Flash Media Server contain updates that currently disable H.264 support for non-adobe servers :(.

MONOGRAM AMR Pack 1.0.1.0

March 16th, 2008 Posted in Free Software | 20 Comments »

Hello people,

there is a new opensource (GNU GPL) AMR filter pack available for public use. I’ve upgraded the AMR demux and encoder filter with some better timestamp handling and completed the collection by adding a mux and a decoder filter. So now the package contains a set of Encoder+Decoder and Mux+Demux filters. This makes all kinds of encoding/transcoding into and from AMR format possible.

The filter collection is also available at the public MONOGRAM SVN repository and you can checkout the source code using this command:


svn co svn://dev.monogram.sk/public/amr_pack/trunk

Hello people,

here is a fresh new update of the AAC decoder filter. It contains several upgrades that make it work better with Microsoft MPEG-2 Demultiplexer. I’ve also added some more options into the property page so it is possible now to adjust volume and output channel mixing.
