Hi for all 

I need a little help please... I am very confused, because the many versions of vorbis... I don't know what is the better option..

I read many topics in HA and other web sites refering to the top quality of many of the new versions of Vorbis encoders...

aoTuV b2 is one with many good references; 1.1RC1 and megamix2 too...

What is the best option? 

Please many thanks for any feedback 

At the moment, Vorbis 1.1 is the recommended encoder.  It is basically aoTuV b2 with a few bugfixes.  It is also the most flexible since you can tweak it further but you shouldn't need to worry about that.

Oh Boy! Why do you think we have

"Recommended Encoder Versions and Settings"

thread? Go and find it.

@<<Since beta2 was adopted as official 1.1, beta3 uses 1.1 as a base. >>
  # bitrate management mode operates normally now. It not only became new, it offers new rate control. (changed part of Vorbis 1.1 by Monty)  However, it can't be used in this encoder.
�@# Pre-echo was decreased in the mode of q0-q10.
  # Since some codes of beta2 were not working normally, correction and re-tuning were carried out.
�@# In the mode below q3, the problem to which a part of sound becomes unstable is improved. (e.g. piano/strings)
�@# Distortion resulting from channel coupling was reduced. (e.g. brass/drumus/guitar)
�@# The q-2 new mode.

UPDATE: As of 11/21/04 Aotuv B3 has been released, this will take time to be tested so that it can become the new standard.  But it is of course INTENDED to be an improvement over vorbis 1.1 and not just B2...

Changelog is as follows:
