VQF the planet !

last update: 24 May 2003

ENGLISH: VQF is an audio compression format which I used for several years because it has been, in my opinon, the best choice during a certain time. I've created this resource page because all other resource pages about this format seem to have disappeared. I think it would also be a good thing if developpers could include VQF support (directly or plug-ins) in their programs in the futur.

 

Good places if you want to discuss audio formats seriously are (there are probably others as well):

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org (the best one, in English) - http://forum.hardware.fr (in French)

 

Go to webisdead.net's main page (in French)

Go/go back to webisdead.net's downloads directory (mostly in French)

FRANCAIS: Le format VQF est un format de compression audio que j'ai utilisé quelques années car il a été, d'après mon opinion, le meilleur choix pendant une certaine période. J'ai créé cette page de ressources car il n'y a quasiment plus de sites de ressources pour ce format. Je pense également que ça serait une bonne chose que les développeurs pensent à inclure le VQF dans leurs programmes à l'avenir (directement ou en plug-ins).

 

Si vous voulez discuter sérieusement de formats de compression audio, je vous conseille ces forums (et il y en a sûrement d'autres):

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org (le meilleur, mais en anglais) - http://forum.hardware.fr (en français)

NOTES:

- If you're looking for an encoder or a player for Linux or a player for Mac, there are one of each. Look for MACINTOSH & LINUX.) : - Some of these programs are compressed in zip format. If you don't have WinZip, you'll find it on http://www.winzip.com/ .

- For .rar files, use WinRar (also extracts .zip's). )
