uhm... there is something strange going on.

i've just encoded a 141.114mb sized ac3 file to an ogg vorbis file with megui.
i selected "keep original channels" and bitrate 0.6 and the output was a 95,644kb sized ogg file.
then i selected "keep original channels" and bitrate 0.4 and the output AGAIN was exactly 95,644kb sized.

now, while writing this, i'm encoding again with quality 0.01. and the projected filesize again is around 96mb.

shouldn't lower quality result in lower filesize?!

i checked the job?.xml files in the megui/jobs subdirectory.

they contain the correct quality settings like
<Quality>0.3</Quality> and <Quality>0.6</Quality>

but all of the jobs have the same bitrate settings:
<BitrateMode>VBR</BitrateMode>
<Bitrate>128</Bitrate>

is that ok?

hmm, verry peculiar. This is definately a bug or mis-setup somewhere, different qualities should produce different filesizes. Try playing with the oggenc checkbox in settings->program path.

what should i do there?

it reads C:\Program Files (x86)\DVDRipping\megui\tools\oggenc2\oggenc2.exe and the checkbox is marked (i'm using oggenc2 v2.8 or later)

filesize of oggenc2 is 322.048 bytes
