    David Scott has written a bijective BWT transform, which brings all the advantages of bijectiveness to BWT based compressors. Among other things, making BWT more suitable for compression-before-encryption and also give (slightly) better compression.

  • Asymmetric Binary System (113 Comments)

    Jarek Duda’s “Asymmetric Binary System” promises to be an alternate to arithmetic coding, having all the advantages, but being much simpler. Matt has coded a PAQ based compressor using ABS for back-end encoding. Update: Andrew Polar has written an alternate implementation of ABS.

Coding Technologies’ MPEG-4 aacPlus Coder Making Rounds

Posted by Sachin Garg on 14th September 2005 | Permanent Link

New version of Winamp media player offers MPEG aacPlus ripping from Coding Technologies. It incorporates aacPlus as the default encoding format. Also, new Winamp player v5.1 supports the 5.1 Surround Sound capabilities inherent within aacPlus.

Coding Technologies and DTS announced a new joint solution which will allow satellite, terrestrial, cable, and IPTV digital broadcasters to transmit Coding Technologies’ MPEG-4 aacPlus(TM) audio for playback on any DTS-compatible receiver. The solution is an aacPlus multichannel decoder from Coding Technologies combined with a DTS encoder which outputs digital audio directly in the DTS format, both residing in the consumer set top box. By switching to the aacPlus format for their transmissions, broadcasters can save enough cumulative bandwidth to add extra video channels or multi-lingual and Secondary Audio Programming to their existing channels.

With Cube-Tec International, Coding Technologies showcase audio content creation in MPEG-4 aacPlus with Cube-Tec’s brand new DOBBIN Audio Rendering solution live at Pokomm, the business platform for music & entertainment in Berlin. The DOBBIN solution offers automated, qualitycontrolled encoding and processing of complete audio archives within a scalable, multi-PC based framework.

Here are the complete press releases.
