Add Opus sound format to grab from Youtube #214

Closed Rumbah2 closed 7 months ago

Rumbah2 commented 7 months ago

Hi,

I'd like to suggest support for Opus. It's a free sound format that Youtube directly supports and should be pretty transparent at Youtube bitrates (better than ogg vorbis).

It is at least supported by USDX and Vocaluxe nightly.

I will look into it. AFAIK USDX support for opus was a bit problematic (playback in editor was laggy IIRC), that's why we decided against supporting it.

Sorry for the late response. I think Opus is the highest quality option on Youtube. As far as i know Google used FAAC for aac on youtube and that encoder is not that good. The free Opus encoder is pretty good at 128 kbit/s so I thout that was a good choice for singing :) .

EDIT: Ah, saw you edited you post, great that you'll look into it, thanks.

It's already in the support_opus branch, if you want to test it.

Sorry, I don't really have the knowledge to get the branch running at my computer. If you have a compiled bit I sure would test it.
