DVD encoding with ogg - Which is the better command line?

[BluDChyLD]

Hi,
When encoding ac3 to ogg I've always used oggmachine with the following command line -

-core( -input "input.ac3" -output "output.ogg" -logfilea "BeSweet.log" ) -azid( -g 0.95 -L -3db -c normal -s surround ) -ota( -d 0 ) -ogg( -q 0.350 ) -profile( The OggMachine v0.61 )

(hybrid gain seems to produce much quieter ogg files, any idea why?)

However, since I have started to use robot4rip I've noticed it's commandline is different -

-core( -input "input" -output "output" -logfilea "BeSweet.log" ) -ota( -hybridgain -d %delay% ) -boost( /b=2db ) -ogg( -q 0.350 ) -profile( %version% )

Which one provides the best sound quality?
Thanks

There shouldn't be a noticable quality difference between these two commands - but only your own ears can tell you that for sure. The quality and bitrate are the same for both, as your ogg parameters are the same. The only differences are the surround sound downmixing options and the type of gain used. Be careful not to confuse sound volume with sound quality. BeSweet and azid have some known issues regarding volume, search the forum for more info on that. Hope this helps :)
