Is it really smaller? With all this talk, I have Ogg'd my first
track ever. To do a true comparison, I used 128kbit compression and
compressed the same 4:09min track to Ogg Vorbis (file totals 4,088
kb) and the same track at 128 kbits MP3'd comes to a total of 3,906
kb.
Obviously this is a tiny difference in size (and who said that size
matters anyway, harrrrhargh).
What compression rate do you recommend for Ogg? I just used Sound
Forge, which offers 96, 128 and 320. I haven't installed a specific
Ogg-ing device! Up to now I've been encoding MP3's using 192 kbits.
Sorry to all who consider this thread OT. You are welcome to respond
directly and not to the IDM list (please don't bother flaming).
But I have to ask this : where does the name Ogg Vorbis come from,
and what does it mean?
