hi I'm reading "Mac OSX and Windows systems will be supported soon" in blog post "G.729 Codec Licenses Now Available For FreeSWITCH!" (http://freeswitch.org/node/249) from 04/01/2010 - 23:34. Searching/googling about G.729 and freeswitch did not reveal any news about G.729 on Windows. Is there any estimate about when it will be available for Windows? - Thomas -- müller it gmbh, kanzleistrasse 126, 8004 zürich

Is there any estimate about when it will be available for Windows? Just curious. If a G729 CoDec is a MUST and unless you prefer to use a SIP compliant ATA device that already comes with a built-in G729 CoDec, then you can search through Google for some freely available (non-GPLed and perhaps a 3-rd party) SIP softphone for Windows with a built-in G729 CoDec. In this case, unless you have a plan to configure your FS server with an option to do a G729 transcoding, there is no need to waste money for a G729 CoDec license because the endpoints can easily negotiate to use their respective built-in G729 CoDec.
FYI, I have my FS server hosted on a Seagate http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/network_storage/freeagent_dockstar DockStar sans a G729 CoDec and set G729 as its defaults CoDec, and all calls are working perfectly with a G729 CoDec on my Linksys PAP2v1/v2 and/or my Uniden http://www.uniden.com/products/productdetail.cfm?product=UIP1869V UIP1869V device. Honestly, the reason I use G729 CoDec is to save some Internet bandwidth, especially communicating with others in some 3-rd world countries where their broadband Internet connections are still metered per their usage/month. ----- don't and stop are the ONLY two 4-letter words considered offensive to men, but not when used together. -- View this message in context: http://freeswitch-users.2379917.n2.nabble.com/G-729-Windows-tp5654175p565491...

Although it's far from the only low bandwidth codec - Speex, GSM etc. -Steve On 20 October 2010 14:44, mazilo <Nabble@slickdeals.endjunk.com> wrote:

This may not be a bad idea for those who can use them. Unfortunately, none of my ATA devices has a support on these two CoDecs. ----- don't and stop are the ONLY two 4-letter words considered offensive to men, but not when used together. -- View this message in context: http://freeswitch-users.2379917.n2.nabble.com/G-729-Windows-tp5654175p565516...

FreeSwitch does have an option to compile a full g.729 codec for Windows from the source code, however I doubt that code has even been tested at all. I've been there and no, so far I haven't been successful at all on getting it work work properly. On Wed, Oct 20, 2010 at 7:41 AM, mazilo <Nabble@slickdeals.endjunk.com> wrote:

Those free sip phones with G.729 are not licenced. If you aren't going to worry about legal issues, there are many options. Steve
Just curious. If a G729 CoDec is a MUST and unless you prefer to use a SIP compliant ATA device that already comes with a built-in G729 CoDec i've had good results with G.729 with audio quality and bandwith - especially with ADSL where uplink is the bottleneck. My hardware-sip phones (Snom, Siemens) are equiped with the g729 codec, the sip provider too.

Any one know of a comparable low bandwidth codec that works for mobile based softphones? Regards HASSAN On 2010-10-21, Thomas Mueller <thomas@chaschperli.ch> wrote:

in ARM processor, you can do g729. On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 1:30 PM, Nyamul Hassan <mnhassan@usa.net> wrote:

Speex would be your best bet. Uses slightly more than what g.729 uses, but it's completely free and open source. You can use GSM too, but iirc, the patents with that codec should have been expired quite some time ago. On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 7:34 AM, Nyamul Hassan <mnhassan@usa.net> wrote:
