OGG encoders


OGG encoders

Postby nicodemus » Oct 29, 2002 @ 6:45am

I'm trying to find an OGG encoder for free...do any of you have links? I'd appreciate it. I'm kinda curious how much OGG would reduce an mp3's size...for example a 3 meg mp3? Thanks

OGG's big thing is free encoders. Just search on Google for it. I'm sure there are plenty of them around.

I don't know if OGG has better compression than MP3 so I can't help you there. I don't know the pros or cons of OGG.

AFAIK, Ogg files have higher quality per bitrate and produce much less artifacts. In addition, ALL Ogg files that are encoded using a modern version of the encoder use VBR. Quality is based on a scale from 1 to 10; AFAIK about 5 or 6 is near-CD quality (sort of like 192 kbps MP3, I think).

I have all my CD's ripped as 320 kbit MP3's since my now dead 525 was too slow to play Ogg files. Maybe I'll bother reencoding them, although I probably won't. 320k MP3's are pretty good.

One more thing is that I use Grip to rip my CD's; it supports various MP3 and OGG encoders, although I think the most popular one is the standard one from

Once I get a better PPC, I'll probably just use +/- 150 kbps Ogg files on it. But then, I really don't like PocketDivx for playing music...

Oh, and you can get a list of Ogg-ish software from .
