Hello! All Respective members .

My server Configuration : Model (IBM X3250 X2) ,
CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) ,X3330 @ 2.66GHz , Mem = 4 Gig, No additional Hardware. Using Go auto Dial 2.1 , KErnel = 2.6.18-238.9.1.el5.goPAE #1,
HDD 160 Gig.

I want to record the agents calls in g729c format , because it is most compressed size of auto format.

i am using a diffrent Dialer, it record the call in ( in.g729c & out.g729c) , And when you need the recording it combine and provide you in wav or mp3 format , i just want Go auto dial can do like that , how it is possible if yes the let me know.

Thank you For Any suggestions.

Sounds like a lot of overhead for very little drive savings over mp3 or gsm, as well as issues with using the license-encumbered, and CPU-intensive, g729 codec.

No, vicidial doesn't have this capability, and I don't really see any reason to add it.

Thank You mflorell :) For Reply

But In not About (a lot of overhead for very little drive savings).
We Can Save Lot Of disk Space & CPU .
How ? I Can Explain You. I am Not Sure IF i am wrong Then Let Me know...

license Is not a issue .. we obtained that ..

For Example a duration of (01:13:54) Long call Make ( 7199 KB Of in.g729c & 7217 KB of out.g729c) Files & after joining them in .wav we get 67.7 MB of Huge file.

Now tell me am i wright or not ?

And also suggest me where to change in Go auto Dial , SO that it only Join the files when i want with a script.


Thank You For Your Precious Advice.

:)

GSM and MP3 would result in the same file compression ratio, and those are universal formats. I really don't see any advantage at all to storing recordings in G729 format.

Matt is right. There are no definite advantage using g729 as your recording format. This will add more overhead to your CPU while bringing insignificant disk space returns. GSM or MP3 is a lot better.
