Its too bad this type of thread is always the only one anyone carries past like 4 exchanges. I would love for the other aspects of the project to get this much attention. I would like to say for the record. I personally spent the last many years working with others to sign up, pay a large sum of money, and go on the hook to provide these licenses to people. The only people who truly need G729, need it for business reasons. It's patented because someone wants to make money when you do. This is not something I can do anything about. I do my part by giving you the whole soft-switch for free. If you have to pay $10 for a channel, the bright side is you do not have to pay 100k for a commercial soft-switch and if you have to actually buy a lot of G729 licenses you must be doing something right and making a lot of money. I'd prefer if we not waste our time bickering about moot political issues and move on. There is a new codec being developed that is open and free and may some day eliminate G729. Until then let's focus on something we can actually do something about. Carry on if you wish, I just think we have better things to do.

ok, but if I can make a parallel that's not because 95% of computer use $MS that you have to use $MS. so the choice is :
- use more CPU to transcode G729 to XXX - buy a licence $10 and not make $10 donation to FS

90% of our customers only support G711 and G729. Which is just fine since most of our gateways only support G711, G729 and G723.1 so we stick with G729 and don't need to transcode. :)

so the best is, don't use G729 and go to buy food with your $10 ;)

If you want to evaluate the g729 transcoding performance you *must* test with the one you plan to recommend - the mod_com_g729, mod_sangoma_codec and ipp g729 codecs have very difference performance characteristics. It is pointless to evaluate one and then recommend another.
- mod_com_g729 is the official $10/channel license. It has good performance. To evaluate it you should try it for yourself. - The unofficial illegal FS module based ipp g729 which I shall not name has stability problems and uses far more CPU than mod_com_g729. Do not use it. - mod_sangoma_codec uses almost no CPU, but you do have to purchase a transcoding card.

I just need test the performance of trans-coding before to recommend to may customer what server it need and buy the codec, because of then i need testing in my lab how much cpu and memory require the trans-coding in freeswitch for g729. And searching i found the open-g729/g723 for asterisk. I relay don't wish to start a discussion about the g729 license i read and understated it. But i think that the license price per channel is to hight taking care that this codec has more than 10 years but the way this is only my opinion.

Hello, some one can compile open g729 to work with freeswitch? http://www.readytechnology.co.uk/open/ipp-codecs-g729-g723.1/
i appreciate a lot if some one has some experience in it. Best Regards.
