- Short: Fast MPEG audio encoder (68k+FPU)
- Uploader: kakace@pacwan.fr (Didier Levet)
- Author: kakace@pacwan.fr (Didier Levet)
- Type: mus/misc
- Requires: AmigaOS 2.0+
- Version: 1.4
-
- Pegase v37.827, 27/9/98
-
- Pegase is a highly optimized MPEG audio encoder, based upon the
- ISO/MPEG Codec (Musicin).
-
- Features :
- - Layer 1/Layer 2 encoding (no layer 3 yet, sorry).
- - Accept AIFF, MAUD, WAV, CDDA and RAW files (16 bits samples).
- - Really Faaaaast (less than 3:1 ratio using a 68060/50, ~11:1 for
- 68040/40).
- - High quality encoding, which make layer 2 nearly as good as
- layer 3 (unless you have a sound card and good ears to hear the
- difference).
- - Rewritten with Amiga spirit in mind (4 Kb stack usage, ReadArgs
- style command line parameters, file requester).
- - Batch mode (can encode multiple files in one go).
-
- Requirements :
- - AmigaOS 2.0 or better.
- - 68020/68030/68RC040/68RC060 (FPU is MANDATORY)
