Subject: [Sursound] ambisonics + video
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Hi All,
Is anyone is aware of a good resource that will help me learn about muxing
video with ambisonic audio? I don?t have much experience with audio for
video full stop and I am confused about what is possible with different
codecs. I haven?t been able to find comprehensive info online. I would like
to know what video formats/containers for both audio and video i can use to
distribute video + HOA audio (although knowing about what?s possible for
FOA audio would also be great). Web based playback is what this is really
for, but I would also like to know about high quality options for
downloads, since VLC 3 does TOA. Not sure if this will allow a custom
decoder or if it?s just for binaural.
Sorry for a bit of an open ended question, but if anyone has any tips i?d
really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Oli

Hi Oliver.
To my knowledge there's nothing special about muxing more than 2
channels of audio with a video stream. Once a video file and a
multi-channel audio file are ready to mux, FFmpeg can do it (MP4Box
is also useful for MP4 streams). About mixing codecs: there's cases
where the MKV container is required; for example, H-264 + Opus, but I
could be wrong. What I found difficult (3 years ago) was to prepare and
render multi-channel audio streams and save them in the AMB format, but
now I suppose there's more options.
I did not know about VLC3 and its ambisonics support.

I guess that the produced files can also be decoded to speaker arrays.
P.S.2: I'd be trilled to consult the FB page that Umashankar suggested,
but it requires a login and I'll never get a FB account. So any useful
info found on FB should be forwarded to non-big-brothered repositories.

Subject: [Sursound] getting the peak frequency from microphone input
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="gb18030"
Dear all,
There must be some easy way to do this that I'm overlooking: I want to
scan the audio from a microphone input and get the peak frequency. I know
how to use myriad of spectral analysis software and the spectroscope
object, but I don't see an obvious way to display the frequency with the
greatest amplitude in Max/msp. Seems like a trivial task. I must be going
about this the wrong way.
Looking forward to your reply,
All the best,
YL
