New dMC R11 compatible tagging (unicode)

Release 11.1

Bug Fix: Year was not going across in certain programs (dAP, Sveta)
Encoder is 6 channel compatible (ogg decoder is not)

Release 11

Updated to Ogg 1.0.1 Release, giving better encodings with quiet signals.

Release 10

  • Bug Fix: Ogg files that have tags with more than 255 characters (lyrics-Tag) crash

  • Large Font Compatible

  • Changed icon on comp page to fish

  • UTF8 Compatible tag input and output (Windows NT, 2000, XP and above)

  • [as source] option for channels and frequency

Release 9

  • Added 48Kbps

  • Improved ABR setup

  • CBR now returns correct bitrate in dAP

  • Shows VBR quality value

  • Bug Fix: Writes Date tag instead of year

Release 8

Release 7 was shorted lived, had I done something wrong you ask? no, nothing as mundane as bug fixes - Ogg Vorbis has now been officially released as Version 1.0!!! Encoding speed is up 25% in my quick tests (VBR) and I have improved tag editing.

Release 7

  • Added Professional Frequency Conversion code, this is an option in dMC's Configuration program (Release 9 and above),
  • Added own Stereo >> Mono conversion code to stop clipping,
  • 8KHz, 12KHz and 16KHz frequency encoding options added,
  • Bug Fix - Ogg would crash when initializing for CBR or ABR with any frequency except 44100,
  • Bug Fix - Correct ID tag of TrackNumber now written for Track Numbers (was previously Track). NB this codec is still compatible with the old way of doing it as well.

Release 6

Uses Latest RC3 Ogg Release (getting close to the magic '1' release) - Now supports true VBR (thanks MODatic for calculating the conversion tables), as well as CBR and ABR
Contains new version string (for dMC r7)
removed ENCODED=dBpowerAMP Music Converter

Bug Fix - Fixed the 2 seconds goes missing when encoding from Mp3 to Ogg

Release 5

Uses latest RC2 ogg release, giving much higher compression rates!

Release 4 

Profile Compatible (Sveta Portable Audio requires this).

Bug Fix - added code to make sure End Of Frame bit is set

Release 3

Ogg is finally out of beta, this release adds Variable Bit Rate encoding (VBR), enhancements to the pop-up tool info and a modification of the ID tag (Encoded=)

Release 2

A pat on the back for Monty 'Ogg Vorbis', for the Ogg compression format is progressing just nice. :)

This Release of the codec make use of Ogg Vorbis Beta 4 additions - different bit rates can now be selected - Tag editing has now been implemented - faster! on mine it is 45% faster, smokin'.

Fixed Codec Errors whilst Compressing on some computers.
