how is the quality of the new fhg codec, the one included in
musicmatch
jukebox, cool edit 2000 and nero? encoding time is very very
slow at highest
quality, is this any indication of a higher quality encode
taking place, or
simply bad programming? has anyone done any benchmarks of the codec as
compared to lame/mp3enc?
I found the quality of this new codec disappointing. Although, bitrate for
bitrate, it appears to reduce overall noise and improve frequency
response,
it produced very annoying high frequency artifacts on a lot of the
material
I tested, even at high bitrates. Overall, I think MP3Enc 3.1 sounds
better.
YMMV.
As for speed, FhG have never been the world leaders in that area. mp3enc
-qual 9 isn't much faster.
