the Best Settings for MP3

[Hopki]

Hi Thomas
When encoding MP3’s, what’s the best settings?
Depending what MP3 I am using I have had lock ups, no sound and some even close P2VR.

Any chance of OGG format support in the future.

All the best Hopki

OGG not supported into Flash...

BTW. also necessary to have a licensing on use MP3 into software... sound support - a new headache for Thomas in future...

Hi Hum, keeping well?

I did not know that OGG was not supported by flash, so thanks for that.
Licensing, are you saying that because Pano2VR can play MP3’s Thomas needs a licence?

I am interested in knowing more about this.

I am not know completely about this...
but if developer introduced MP3 format in its software... then certainly right License of the requirement from Thomson

Hi Hum, thanks for the info.

I will look into this further, but as P2VR outputs swf and not MP3 I am not sure if this applies in this case. Adobe has a licence for MP3 and as the music actually played by the Flash player I think Thomas has nothing to worry about, but as I said I will look into this.

But thanks for your help on this so far
Kind regards

Same here.
In my case I can only work with 96 kbps files.
80 and 64kbps ones crashes Pano2VR or produces panoramas without sound.

Hi I have found out about the licence issues, regarding MP3, Thomas has nothing to worry about.
I contacted the MP3 Licensing people saying I have some software that you can import MP3 sounds and music to, but outputs swf and plays in a flash player. Their response is this:

If your application creates Flash files, and plays Flash files, and neither creates nor is capable of playing a .mp3 file, then our license is not required.

Job done

Thx Martin for asking. Even if I would play the mp3 (which may happen at some point as "preview") the fee only applies if I had to pay more then 15,000.00 $ a year, if I stay below this amount I am fine without registering. If my sales would grow that much that I reach the 15,000.00 $ fee limit (= 1.200.000,00 $ in Pano2VR license fees/year...) I would be definitely fine and I would happily pay Thomson .

Good news all round as I am working on some Sound FX packs
