I tested the 2 pass, using an old frontend I originally made for PsyTEL. Seems to work beautifully.

What a long, strange trip it's been.

As I read on Hydrogenaudio forums there is some problems with AMD XP cpus (they don't support SSE2 or something like that)

I wonder do this support 5.1 sound encoding?

Yes support it, i tested with earlier version now can be good as Coding Technologies, maybe 2-pass can help something with better quality but will see

hmm I think this is new encoder it's in exe state not in DLL like when it was part of nero package. I was wondering if they did not cripple it since it's free and all.

The (currently available) encoder requires an SSE2 capable processor.

It has nothing to do with AMD, other than that the AMD Athlon XP doesn't have SSE2 capability (but neither does the Pentium III, whereas the Athlon64 or Opteron does and works with the published package).

Just curious; has work started on integrating this encoder with Exact Audio Copy & MeGUI?

No special integration is required with eac. Just select command line encoder, pick nero's encoder, and use -if %s -of %d as parameters.

I can't test becouse i have AMD machine. btw i do a little test with nero apps and i very happy with quality of 5.1 encoding but quality is not much better than CT, Sometimes i think is much wrost but when i test 2pass and other things from cli encoder i say my final word.

http://www.mp3-tech.org/tests/aac_48/results.html

There was also an 128kbps test, in which Nero scored equal with iTunes, LAME and Vorbis.
I am talking about 5.1 (6ch) encoding not stereo, so lastest Nero 7 encoders are very bad in 5.1 encoding, until this last which is now good, but from my some short test i think is not again so good like CT, but i don't try 2-pass mode becouse have trouble with encoder and wait new realise. btw about this test @48kbs, now when nero have CBR implementation we have to do a new test and see what is better when both codec have same settings and we have to say what is better.

Oh wow Ivan, I really was not expecting this... Many thanks

I hope to test the encoder as soon as somebody incorporates it into a GUI


Cheers

Hi SMD,

Check out Belight next rev, Kurtnoise is stating (in a french forum) that he is working on it

And my thanks to the devs and NERO for this gift.

So, you can't test because you have a non-SSE2 machine, you tested and it's worse but you can't test it and you wait for a new release, you need a CBR implementation (which Nero has always had)...nothing what you say makes any sense whatsoever.

He meant he tested with older version that was bundled with nero, If i'm not mistaken.
