MPEG Audio Codec and Windows REALTIME Player from Fraunhofer IIS
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fraunhofer IIS announces l3enc/l3dec V2.00 and WinPlay3 V1.00.
For high quality audio compression, the shareware l3enc/l3dec V2.00
package is available for Linux, SUN, NeXT and DOS on
<URL:ftp://ftp.fhg.de/pub/layer3>as ]mpeg@powerweb.de via
Versions for SGI and HP will follow soon.
The shareware package for DOS
<URL:ftp://ftp.fhg.de/pub/layer3/l3v200d1.zip>as ]mpeg@powerweb.de via
includes a demo version of WinPlay3, a Windows MPEG Audio Layer 3
realtime-player.
With MPEG Audio Layer 3 you can get a 12:1 compression with a CD like
quality.
Instead of 12 MByte / minute (stereo 44.1 kHz) you only need about
1 Mbyte / minute!

Public C source code for MPEG1 audio decoder available now
The source code for the MPEG1 audio decoder layer 1, 2 and 3 is
now available on ftp.fhg.de (153.96.1.4).
There are two files:
mpeg1_iis.tar.Z (Unix: lines seperated by line feed only)
mpeg1iis.zip (PC: lines seperated by carriage return and line feed)
They are in the directory /incoming now but will be moved to the directory
/pub/layer3/public_c.
Please note that the public C code for the decoder is *not* identical to
the shareware provided by Fraunhofer IIS.
However we at Fraunhofer IIS did check that the layer 3 part of the public
C source decoder works correctly. (As usual this does not imply any
warranties).
