RAR format advantages are better compression ratio than ZIP, built-in strong encryption, and error recovery capabilities with optional use of recovery records. For all those reasons, and being one of the first ZIP alternative released, even being a proprietary format RAR is a very popular choice especially for file distribution over the web, where the error recovery capability is a welcome advantage over most of other file formats. Learn more about RAR file format. Due to the commercial nature of the format no free software is available for creating ACE archives, but UNACE for extraction of ACE archives was made available as royalty free for use and distribution closed source software.
UNACE plugin for PeaZip is available either as installable package or as compressed package to be installed by hand recommended for PeaZip portable , and it's free of charge. Learn more about how to work with ACE files. Brotli and Zstandard compression performances comparison Google's Brotli and Facebook's Zstandard are pure compression algoritms as well as zlib's Deflate and BZip2 meant to compress a single input file or data stream, and for archiving purpose are often combined with TAR in order to consolidate multiple input file in a single container.
In a direct comparison at current level of development, on modern multicore CPU Zstandard is faster than Brotli if multithreading option for its ZSTD binary is enabled - while provided compression level is quite similar. How to add files and folders to a new archive How to add new files to existing archive How to add files to multiple separate archives How to delete files from archive How to convert existing archives How to edit files in archive How to extract multiple archives at once How to extract selected content from archive How to open, list, browse, and search archive file How to update existing archives How to improve file compression performances Self extracting archives What is solid compression?
Releases Feed. Don't judge too quickly, the results here depend dramatically on an audio library that is used to do the audio processing, operating system, processor architecture and other computer hardware. The size of encoded files can also vary: although I try to use similar settings for each encoder, they still aren't identical. These tests were performed by fmedia v0.
The accuracy of these results should be very high because they show how much time is spent for processing the track, not taking into account the time needed to start the system process, read configuration or do other irrelevant work. These test files were created using other free tools. Another small note is that the same tests usually run slightly faster on Linux, probably due to the fact that Windows version of fmedia and all audio libraries are built with gcc cross-platform tools that might not produce very well optimized bytecode for Windows.
The goal is to test completely different sound and see how each codec works with it. So, libFLAC performs better than anything else in my tests. Respect to its developers for such a big investment in performance! Notice how fast mp3 decoding is compared to both Vorbis and AAC. I can't tell how accurate decoding is, but from the performance point of view it seems that mp3 is a really good choice as long as media player uses libmpg Here you can learn how to test performance of audio formats by yourself using fmedia.
I don't attach any sound files here, it's better if you use your own files, probably in other music genre. If you wish to share your results with others, please send me a message and I'll do my best to edit the article so it reflects all difference in test results.
There are 3 things you should do to build a performance table like the ones above:. For example, to encode the file music. Here you instruct fmedia to convert your WAVE file into each of these audio formats with their specific encoding settings.

Just have a look at the parameter But all in all this might give you a feeling for the methods. All times are user times, measured by the unix time command. To visualize the results I plotted them using R, compression efficiency at X vs. The best results are of course located near to the origin. To test the different algorithms I collected different types of data, so one might choose a method depending on the file types. The first category is called binaries. A collection of files in human-not-readable format.
All in all This is a bunch of media files. Some audio data like the I have a dream -speech of Martin-Luther King and some music. I attached importance to different formats, so here are audio files of the type ogg, mp3 mid, ram, smil and wav, and video files like avi, ogv and mp4. Altogether The next category is office. The complete size of these files is
