For all you CDex/vorbis.dll lovers, here is your Christmas present!

I have finally managed to fix all the issues with the DLL and it now produces bit identical results to oggenc and oggdrop. The Pre 10 version will be available at: http://www.inf.ufpr.br/~rja00/ , as usual whenever Roberto updates his page next. If any is really desperate, private message me and I'll mail it to you.

PLEASE NOTE: If the top level bitrate goes above 350kbps, it may be necessary to make a small change, basically to increase the size of the internal output buffer.

Enjoy!! and a Happy Christmas to all the other sad people who have nothing better to do on Chrismtas day than browse their favourite board!!

PS. Available NOW!

Ok, It's already uploaded.
Now, OggEnc returned to the same file of
OggDrop and Vorbis.dll:

Merry Christmas to you all!

First off, thanks for all your hard work getting these RC3 Pre builds out. Now for my question. I just tried using your Vorbis DLL with CDex to rip and encode "Papercut" by Linkin Park off of their Hybrid Theory CD. I set CDex to use a nominal bitrate of 160 and let the maximum and minimum stay at 'default'. The resulting ogg file comes out with an average bitrate of 92 kbps according to winamp. It sounds bad in several sections. I then used CDex to only rip to a WAV file and then used your RC3 pre 10 oggdrop to encode the WAV with the bitrate set to 160. THe resulting ogg is then 152 kbps and sounds just fine. The only variation I can notice otherwise is the libVOrbis version reported in the winamp file information. The file encoded with vorbisdll reports 20011217 whereas the oggdrop file reports 20011212. Both off these came from the vorbis daily zip from the website that your files are posted to. Any ideas what is going on?

Try using the latest versions of both the DLL and oggdrop. If you still have a problem, please let me know'cos I think they are all fixed!

PS. Also, the quality should be better!

PPS. I've just ripped some CD's to test and I had no problems. The latest Libvorbis reports a date of 20011217, but I believe it to have been updated since then. Certainly there have been changes in the CVS that would indicate that.
