Split2000 lossless compressor
Split2000 is a very obscure lossless compressor for Linux. As far as I
can tell it was never ported to other operating systems. Actually,
neither the sources not the precompiled binary available here seem to
work, at least on recent Linux versions. So, unless someone takes the
time to update the code, this codec can be considered completely dead.
Anyway, from what I understood of the readme and playing around with it,
it is not a true lossless audio compressor, but it preprocesses the audio
data and then feeds this preprocessed data into a generic data compressor
- the default option is bzip2. This helps Split2000 achieve much better
compression that the generic data compressor would achieve by itself, but
even then, it is among the worst performing lossless compressors in RRW,
coming close to ADA in my limited tests.
The encoder web page is gone, so I am mirroring it here.
Compression performance in my limited test: 66,25%
Date: 1998
Version: 1.0.0
Interface: Graphical or command line
Platform: Linux
Download: split2000.tar.gz - 113kB
Source code: split2000-1.0.0.tar.gz
- 110kB
Thanks to Marco Pontello for submitting
this codec.
Update:
Mr. Volodymyr Poltavets managed to adapt Split2000 to compile on recent
Linux versions. He was kind enough to provide diff files and binaries
that were compiled on Debian/unstable.
Very big thanks!
