Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : vorbis-tools-aotuv Version : Beta6.03 Upstream Author : Aoyumi <aoy...@gmail.com> * URL : http://www.geocities.jp/aoyoume/aotuv/ * License : BSD? Programming Lang: C Description : Aoyumi's Tuned Vorbis - tuned version of the Vorbis encoder
AoTuV, which is based on Xiph's original vorbis-tools, is widely recommended[0, 1] as encoder for Vorbis, assumed to reach better quality at the same compression ratio. Quoting e.g. [1]: >aoTuV versions improves significantly on Vorbis quality: >Most people agree aoTuV beta 4 (and newer) achieves >transparency at -q 5. Changes up to Beta2 were actually merged with Xiph's Vorbis encoder. I think it would be great for Debian to have AoTuV in addition to the Xiph version (AFAIU there may be some cases were AoTuV produces worse results, and for which it would be good to have the Xiph encoder as well.) Maybe it can be easily packaged based on the vorbis-tools or even delivered as part of it (therefore CCing the Xiph Maintainers Team). Cheers, Chris.
