OGG Vorbis in FFmpegX?

[Matthias Unterhuber]

I made a thinkabout. If you install the Quicktime OGG Vorbis Component, you can export in ogg vorbis Audio format too. Cool! I tried it. And with a 4 Minute long testtrack i got (mp3 was 4.5 mb @ 128 KB/sec) i exported it with OGG in QUALITY 1. That gave NO quality loss and I got a 2.5 MB big file!!!! Now that we know that comes my question: can I make under the Audio Tab Add Audio and select the vorbis file? Is that possible? So I have a DivX with a Ogg Audio file? is that possible ? That would be great because so i can have a Video with more bitrate and an audio with no quality loss. Would be great! But, does it work?

Firstly, I agree that ogg vorbis (http://www.xiph.org) is vastly superior to mp3 because it gives better quality and it's open source, and it's a shame that it doesn't get better support

Secondly, what you say about "NO quality loss" on quality 1 is very far from the truth, that setting sounds quite bad to anyone with decent speakers and good hearing! IMHO, to sound decent (about the same as 128-160kbps mp3), you need at least quality 3 (104kbps) which I'd reccommend for movies. For CDs, I go for around 4 or 5, since it will give the same size as an mp3 but MUCH better quality.
