Vorbis dev - Jan 2001 - Oggenc - strange display output

Hi all:

OK, I was curious to see if I could hear any of the quality loss when going
from MP3 to vorbis (a friend wants to know).  I used the following command:

mpg123 -s 07-Dont_Let_It_Bring_You_Down.mp3 |oggenc -o down.ogg -m2 -r -

The encode worked just fine, but at the end oggenc printed up the
following:

Done encoding file "down.ogg"

        File length:  0m 00.0s
        Elapsed time: 16m 43.9s
        Rate:         0.0000
        Average bitrate: inf kb/s

I can understand the inability to print up a running percentage, but I
would have thought the rest would be trackable, possibly further into the
process than it obviously is.

I admit this is an old version, it may even be beta2 (in fact I think it
is), so it might have been fixed long ago.  I just thought I'd (A) share it
with you and (B) let you know in case it hasn't been.

Geoff.

PS: Are there any plans to (again if it hasn't been done) rewrite
mp3tovorbis for use with oggenc instead of vorbise?

Long since fixed.

Generally, if you KNOW something is way out of date, please try and check
it with a current version before sending a bug report.

Absolutely not. Transcoding is a bad idea. Those who DO have a good reason
can do it the hard way. Providing scripts to do this just encourages it.
