Update Ogg vorbis encoder

Post by tommycrock »

The Ogg Vorbis encoder that comes with media monkey appears to be a very old one (aoTuV b4b [2005-11-17]) according to ogginfo. Is it possible to update the packaged encoder to a more recent/better version? Thanks

I know with Lame it is user replaceable. Maybe the same works with the OGG Vorbis encoder.

Thanks, yes it does if you replace vorbis.dll.
Hydrogenaudio have since decided on a newer (but still quite old) version. We're currently on beta4.51, they recommend beta 5, but beta 6 is out and xiph.org also have updated encoders.
Hydrogenaudio Vorbis wrote:Aoyumi's Beta 4.51 was found to be very good, so it was re-branded into aoTuV Release 1 and it was the recommended encoder until June 2007. The latest tuning is aoTuV beta 5, which improves further on the low-bitrate quality without sacrificing compression, and it is currently the recommended Vorbis encoder at Hydrogenaudio.
