Recognising the different audio codecs

Started by JH WANG January 26, 2005


Hi all,

I am now doing a project regarding audio codecs. I am new to all
these codecs,so hope to get some help here. Firstly, is there any
useful link where i will understand all the different codecs
easily?? pls help..
Second, my project is to be able to recognise the different codecs
(G711,G723_1,G726,G727,G728,G729) used on the file when given the
compressed form. Anyone able to give suggestion on how should i
approach this problem?? Thanks in advance!!! Your help is greatly
appreciated.

No single link that I have found. Using your favorite search site will give you
the information you need.

If you are only looking at the raw encoded bit stream then I know of no way to
tell them apart. But if you are looking at encoded FRAMES then you can use the
sample frame length and the encoded frame length and make a decent guess.
