g729 and Ekiga

Hello,
  Is there support in Ekiga for g.729 audio codec ?
I saw some threads about it in the mailing list and on some other
places, but I am not
sure as whether this can be done or not.
I would appreciate if anyone who have any experience with it will share his
experience. If it is possible to use g.729, it would be great to post
here a step by step
description of what should be done for achieving it.

I see that in opal-3.6.6 , there is some support for g.729 (in
src/codec/g729mf.cxx)
but I am not sure what this means/

Regards,
AndyJ

Hi, list,
  I want to add that this subject is of much interest also to me. I
would really
appreciate if somebody could shed some light on g.729 and ekiga.
AFAIK, there are some open source projects which support g.729 codecs.
For example, asterisk (though I do not have experience with it).
There are some more, which were mentioned in some posts in this mailing list
in the past.
So, anybody who has experience with g.729 and Ekiga, (good or bad), please
share your experience with us.

Rgs,
Mark

G.729 has patents pending and so cannot be distributed under most OSS-licences.

Format support, Codec operation support requires buying a licence as You can
RTFM of Asterisk.

There're better codecs, no one needs G.729.

No.

Read the source code and G.729 specific tech+law docs.

Hi,

OPAL supports IPP codecs:
http://www.ippcodecs.org/
This should work for Ekiga too... but it is mostly untested...

It does work, even on WIN32 (tested 2 years ago).

Hello,

Thanks a lot for you answer, Thomas!

>There're better codecs, no one needs G.729.

I just wonder, can you please tell us shortly, which codecs do you
consider to be better than g.729 ?
rgs,
Mark

Hello,
 Again, I believe that many think that it would be great if it would be integrated into the Ekiga project.

Rgs,
Mark
