BlackSword (of the Ogg Vorbis Acceleration Project) has created a highly-optimized version of Oggenc2 as part of his Lancer suite.

  • Windows
  • Posix

Compatibility

Most of the time, Oggenc may be replaced by Oggenc2, as the latter recognizes the former's switches.

If the application that uses Oggenc is hard-coded to find "oggenc.exe" (or its equivalent in *nix), you can simply rename "oggenc2.exe" to "oggenc.exe" and overwrite the original "oggenc.exe".
