Talk:LPCM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't think the LPCM article should be merged with Pulse Code Modulation. It is a computer media format, like MPEG, not just a data encoding format. Readers need to access it in relation to MPEG, not just in relation to PCM. ___

I agree -- I'm after a standard, ISO something something -- very much related to computer audio (DLNA specifically) so it's computer-type information that I'm after.

[edit] Source of the LPCM stub

The stub for LPCM was taken from an ad for a computer program from the company Cyberlink. This is the website:

I think this article should explain the difference between PCM and LPCM.

I tried to make clear the distinction between LPCM as a method of encoding and a file format, and added links to information about particular specifications. The existing article was referring to some particular implementation of LPCM used on DVD players which I was not aware of and don't know much about. But I wasn't really happy just removing this. This explains the bizarre section on standard sampling rates. Alexwright 14:37, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
