AOTUV had the highest overall scores in the 128kbps listening test. Has it been tested at other bit rates also, compared with other encoders at that bit rate?
The most recent version of the AOTUV Oggenc.exe is 4/21/2004, on the author's web site: AOTUV. Anyone tried that version? Still better?
Has anyone tried using AOTUV with DBPoweramp? If so, I guess one would not use dbpoweramp's own OGG codec, but use their Ogg CLI, or their generic CLI. What have people found to work the best?
Has anyone used any other GUI encoding programs, such as CDEX or EAC, with AOTUV? How?
Full Version: OGG Vorbis AOTUV
aoTuV beta 2 tunings have been merged into official Vorbis 1.1 RC 1. I recommend downloading this from rarewares.org
aoTuv has been compared at higher bitrate. Try using the search.
There have been efforts to improve Vorbis quality beyond aoTuV. Browse the OGG-Tech section a bit (Megamix, advancec switches).

So, it is recommended now to use the latest official Vorbis release, rather than the AOTUV version that was found to give the best quality at around 128kbps at the time of the multi-format test at that bit rate?
The efforts you mention to improve Vorbis quality beyone aoTUV--have those efforts been successful? Any blind tests comparing them with aoTUV?
The latest official Vorbis should produce basicly the same output as the tested aoTuV version.
The efforts I mentioned were successful; mostly pre-echo performance has been tuned (at the cost of generally raising the bitrate - which is why none of these additional tunings have been merged into the official Vorbis).
Lately some advanced switches were "discovered" in Vorbis, that allow custom pre-echo and microattack tuning values. Read out in this thread:

Type "aoTUV" into the search field and press the "enter" key.
ok
I may be wrong, but the last time I checked, it was impossible in official Vorbis 1.1 RC 1 to use -q-2 which is available in original aoTuV...

q-2 of aoTuV is reflected in q-1 of RC1. However, it is not correctly the same. q-1 of RC1 will compute the mostly bigger bit rate than q-2 of aoTuV.
