  • Bijective BWT (6 Comments)

    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.

  • Precomp: More Compression for your Compressed Files (3 Comments)

    So many of today’s files are already compressed (using old, outdated algorithms) that newer algorithms don’t even get a chance to touch them. Christian Schneider’s Precomp comes to rescue by undoing the harm.

.NET Implementation of an Ogg Vorbis Player

Posted by Sachin Garg on 21st July 2005 | Permanent Link

The Code Project has an interesting article on Decoding Ogg Vorbis audio files in .NET from perry_marchant.

The TgPlayOgg project is a .NET C# library that allows you to play Ogg Vorbis files from your managed code. Decoding a given Ogg Vorbis file into usable sound data is done by TgPlayOgg which makes calls to an unmanaged C++ project TGPlayOgg_vorbisfile. TgPlayOgg also requires managed DirectX for sound output.

Code is available for download and is explained very nicely in the article. You can also download the demo project.
