Scripts : Asterisk 1.4 : Installs

These scripts will only run with PBX In A Flash ISO version 1.2 and 1.3 with Asterisk 1.4. If you use it on "other pbx" systems you may have problems.

Asterisk 1.4 G729 and G723 Codecs

This program will install g279 and g723 codecs onto your PBX in a Flash Version 1.2 or 1.3 for Asterisk 1.4. NOTE this script is only for people who reside outside of North America.

Thus I am changing the status these scripts to experimental and NOT for commercial production use. Please buy a license from digium if you want to use the g729 codec commercially, they are cheap.

These codecs are for "educational" purposes only and you will need to purchase a license if you plan to use them in any system. The link to the source is below and if you have any questions about these codecs please refer to their website:
http://www.readytechnology.co.uk/open/ipp-codecs/

Note the source is also available there!

We no longer distribute any of the source or drivers. It is downloaded from overseas when you run the scripts.

Remember the software police motto: "Protecting users from themselves at any cost"

We take no responsibility for using these scripts and you must have a valid license to use them.

Use of these codecs without a license in North America is ILLEGAL

Unfortunately we cannot provide any support for these codecs as we wrote just the install scripts. If you want to install the Digium g729 codec there is an excellent reference on their website.
