I'm very glad to find this codec, but I wonder why it's hidden away here in the beta forum and isn't available at Codec Central? That's assuming it's a full release, which it appears to be. Many thanks.

Re: Ogg Vorbis R12 (using Ogg 1.1.0)

Codecs need testing, I like to have the codecs in Codec Central that are stable.

Re: Ogg Vorbis R12 (using Ogg 1.1.0)

Thanks for the explanation. But I don't see any feedback in this thread, so it's not quite clear where the information about stability is coming from. By the way, it seems that one can't install this release without uninstalling the previous release, which makes comparison a bit difficult. Thanks again.

I tested the beta release of the ogg 1.1 codec and found that the conversion to mono files (starting with stereo input) doesn't work.
Can anyone confirm this ?

I've tested DMC 10.1+ OGG codec R12:
Everytime I tried to convert a 44.1kHz, 16bit stereo wav to a mono channel ogg (in CBR,ABR,VBR, frequency as source) , DMC crashed... :cry:

The codec seems to work fine when ripping from CD to stereo ogg, which is all I need it to do.

I can confirm this as well (I don't think this was possible with previous codec either).

What you CAN do is first convert your source file to mono and then convert to Ogg in mono.

Best wishes,

Re: Ogg Vorbis R12 (using Ogg 1.1.0)

With the CLI encoder, it is possible to convert stereo to mono ogg.
If you download the newest oggenc.exe at http://www.rarewares.org/ogg.html and replace the old one, you can encode to ogg 1.1 mono.

Re: Ogg Vorbis R12 (using Ogg 1.1.0)

I don't see the CLI oggenc.exe file anywhere on the web page you mention - can you be more specific, please? Many thanks.

Re: Ogg Vorbis R12 (using Ogg 1.1.0)

It's the fllowing paragraph :

"Oggenc2.3 using libVorbis v1.1.0 2004-10-23"
ICL 8.1 compiles

You can download the exe for your machine :

P3/AMD (293Kb) - P4 Only (259Kb) - Sources + Libraries (384Kb)

The zip contains oggenc2.exe, which you have to rename to oggenc.exe to replace the old one, off course.

Kind regards,

Dirk.

Do you have plans to release a beta based on the newly released Ogg 1.1.2 soon? Thanks for a great utility!

[Spoon]

Re: Ogg Vorbis R12 (using Ogg 1.1.0)

Are you sure Ogg Vorbis is 1.1.2? rather than Ogg (the container) as 1.1.2

Re: Ogg Vorbis R12 (using Ogg 1.1.0)

Darn good question, I have no idea. I saw a post on the vorbis site that was more recent than this beta, so I assumed it was newer (and I'm one of those crazy people that always assumes newer is better ). I really don't quite understand the distinction between Ogg and Vorbis. Here's the post:

"libvorbis 1.1.0 and libogg 1.1.2 have been released
posted by vanguardist on 2004-09-27 21:55:17.91

Here are some goodies. The new libogg fixes some FLAC issues and libvorbis 1.1.0 features the new tunings from aoTuV."

Thanks again!
