maresweb.de is the correct domain. .net and .org are only redirecting to the .de domain. Also, I tested the URL from the picture and Apache redirects the users to the correct file. No problem I guess.

You missed the .de on the graph.
Can you also add more complete info of the encoder in the graph? e.g.: AoTuv -> Vorbis AoTuV 4.51, Nero -> AAC Nero 3.1.0.2, etc... I prefer first the format, then vendor and version. Many sites link only to the image and can give a confusing idea of which encoder was used. Also on that image should be a link to the full explanation of the results.

Well, if someone posts the image, he should also post to results page.
Adding the full encoder version / information is useless IMHO - it's stated already on the presentation page (which can be accessed if you are on the results page, that is supposed to be posted together with the plot).

,Jan 14 2006, 10:42 PM]Also a question / comment.  Is Itunes' encoder actually in iTunes, or is it in quicktime?  What versions were used?  Maybe you should list those on the results page (versions of each encoder..)

Well, they're on the presentation page which I think is enough.

Actually, nowhere is that page linked on here... Also, If you wish, I can set up a nice 'design' image to show the results; Could you post the numbers (ranges), PM them to me or email them? I'll also include the necessary links and info in the image. And I can give you a PDF format of it, if you like.

Sent! Thanks.

BTW, I only changed iTunes and Nero to iTuness AAC and Nero AAC on the final plots. The sample plots still have iTunes only. I hope it's not such a big deal since those images are almost never posted alone.

That's it guys - a warm bed is waiting for me.

BTW... Gambit is screwed if his neighbors read his comments.
