hi--
i didn't choose them, they are what i have to work with.  G.729 is de
facto voip codec and i've got calls coming into my soft switch that
have to be transcoded for use on the pstn...therefore, G.711

--hi, 
they are vocoders used in telecom

in general,you should get the spec,test vector,and something you can
get.
then trancode the source code to you favarate language(here in general
is c and assembly),pass the test vector,and if necessary,optimize your
code,but if you arrive the performance,congraduation!
you have finished your task.

I can't really see why you chose G.729 and G.711. G729 is a CELP codec
and G.711 is just companded PCM. So effectively your only job would to
decode G.729 (which is quite some work if you write the decoder) and
encode it again to G.711 (which is trivial).

To me transcoding makes real sense only where the two set of codecs
are alike in many respects and you can convert one format to another
without having to go through entire decoding-encoding cycle and
thereby save processing. It it also here that your ideas and
originality come into picture.

maybe by telling us whatever the hell G.729 r8 and G.711 are.  are they some
kinda spec or standard?

i have some experience with vocoder but not with G.729 r8 or G.711.

r b-j

hello, 
i am endeavoring to transcode G.729 r8 to G.711 as my first serious
DSP project for a production environment.
I am seeking any relevant resources including how-tos, reference docs,
tutorials, working code, ..annnything

I am fairly new to DSP and don't really have much of an idea of how to
get started.
Any advice is GREATLY appreciated
regards
chris
