Great song, man...

Sadly, oggenc would probably be around 2 mins for that

Why does ogg encode soo slowly?

I hadn't really thought about it, but now that I have, even if Ogg and MPC were of an equivalent quality, they'll need to make some significant encoding performance gains before I'd be ready to switch. Since I don't care about portable support at the moment, MPC is definitely far and away the best option. SV8 will just cement that for me, and maybe once it's a little more of an "official" release we'll see some innovative portables picking up support.

Dude love the website in your sig.

*gag*

It'll be faster than LAME, but still only 1/3 the speed of MPC. (say 40-50 secs)

Having Ogg encode as fast as MPC is probably not possible (transform vs subbanding).
