8svx_comp v1.3  (C) 2006-2010  Lorence Lombardo.


What the #$% is 8svx_comp ?

8svx_comp is a compressor and de-compressor using the ZyXel ADPCM
compression algorithm within the 8svx standard.

It can also decompress Fibonacci Delta compression and Exponential Delta
compression.

8svx_comp will also decompress Christian Buchner's ADPCM's into the 8svx
standard.


Why not just use Christian Buchner's ADPCM package ?

Because Christian Buchner's ADPCM package only has mono support.


Usage:-
8SVX_comp <in_file> <out_file> <mode>

modes:-
2 = Compress to ADPCM2 (4 times smaller)
3 = Compress to ADPCM3 (~2.7 times smaller)
D = DeCompress (default)

eg. 8SVX_comp Noonan.8svx Noonan_c2.8svx 2


Developer's Information:-

ADPCM2 and ADPCM3 use the 8svx compression mode ID numbers 3 and 4
respectively. Since 1 and 2 are already used for other compression methods.
1 is used for the official Fibonacci Delta compression and 2 is used for
the Exponential Delta compression. See the archive "wavepak.lha" on the
aminet for related interest. Although the Exponential Delta compression was
an unofficial standard it has had wide acceptance amongst the amiga 
community with quite a few players supporting it such as "Play16".

It is hoped that 8svx_comp also has a wide acceptance amongst the amiga
community.
 

8SVX_comp's compression formats are supported by the multi format player
"playOGG".
