I wanted to check my understanding of some of the settings in oggdropxp.



If I check one of these, the resulting ogg file will be louder or softer based on the replaygain tag of the flac file, correct?  So this would be a way to apply replaygain to files that are going to be played on a DAP that does not support replaygain, correct?

Also, will the HA recommended version of oggdropXP (from the sticky post in this forum) always use the HA recommended ogg encoder version?

John33's oggenc2.4 is a special version of the Ogg Vorbis encoder. "Features include compression from lossless files (Monkeys Audio, LPAC, FLAC, OptimFROG, WavPack and Shorten - requires presence of decoders), and the ability to specify 'padding' in the headers for subsequent insertion of Tags." (from Ogg Vorbis page at rarewares)

oggenc24.exe Xiph.Org's Vorbis 1.1 (ICL 8.1 compile for P3/AMD) With impulse_trigger_profile

The about screen tells me this...



And the sticky post tells me this:



Does that mean they are the same? I guess I'm confused by the difference between the "24" and the "1.1". I just want to make sure that whenever a new encoder version is made that oggdropXP is updated as well. Is that the case?

Thanks for your help!

@john33:
Can i place the old version of oggdropXPd(1.7.11) together with new version(1.8.0) at same directory?

The old version i use are GT3B2, AoTuVB2, Megamix2 and Archer Beta 10,
New version are 1.1.0 and AoTuVB3.

I found i have many problem(crash, and encoding speed drop form ~15x to 5x ...) with the 1.8.0 version if it share the configureation file with old version...

Can you please update the old version too?
But i think the old version is obsoleted for other user...

As you say. Unless there is any real demand for updated versions using the older libraries, I'd prefer not to further confuse the issue of which encoders people should use.

I thought we were talking about oggdropXPd? But now you're referring to oggenc2.4?

Edit: I often update oggdropXPd before oggenc2.4.

Oh, I thought that somewhere deep within the bowls of oggdropXPd was some form of oggenc.  Like it was a GUI front-end for the encoder.  I guess I was mistaken.

Thanks for the clarification!

i have a small, related, request for oggdropxpd.
would it be possible for it to include the advanced encoding option settings into the log file?
so far, it tells me what quality setting and scaling ive used, but not if ive enabled "impulse_noisetune".
since im testing which settings i want to use, i would greatly appreciate this little difference.
thanks.

I guess you're asking to have the Advanced Encoder options used written to the logfile? I'll add this to the next version that I'll probably be releasing towards the end of the week.

Hmmm, I'll look into that, but I think you'll find the version I'm releasing at the end of the week will fix this as I've done a major rewrite in some areas, including this one.
