[Question] Convert mp3 to auToV ogg

I want to convert my mp3s to auToV ogg but i have some problems with the settings.

I Copy venc.exe to Fb2k directory
In Tool/Converter, add new "auTuV Ogg Vorbis", set Encoder to "venc.exe" try some parameters. but can't make it work.

If i tried "-q 5 %s %d", it said
Quote
Error flushing file (Object not found) : file://E:\Mp3\Tool\lame\04.ogg


In parameters: Does "-" mean input file, And what does "%S", "%r"... mean?
i've not found any reference for this parameters

not sure if this is what you want, but i suggest that you download an optimized version of aoTuV here. They are much faster than venc and work really nicely.

also, i belive that venc uses different command-line options than oggenc. i could be wrong though...

- means to use STDIN for the input, which means that foobar would pipe the raw data to the encoder.  Many encoders can handle input from STDIN, but some can't, and some have problems with the way foobar does it.

The alternative to using STDIN in is using a temporary WAVE file, which all/most encoders can handle.  If you use this method %s represents to path to the temporary WAVE (the source).

%d is the destination path.

I have not heard of %r - I wonder whether you are getting confused with EAC (which uses it to pass the bitrate I believe).

In Tool/Converter/Edit, select "Ogg Vobis" as the encoder, and re-select "Custom":

Why do you want to transcode MP3 to Vorbis anyway? Low bitrate Vorbis for DAP? HE-AAC might be better suited for this.

For all other purposes, transcoding is frowned upon since transcoding reduces quality.

[a href="http://img339.imageshack.us/my.php?image=20070225211206yc1.jpg" target="_blank"] %r follows the oggenc switch -s, which is explained in the help as follows:

Code: [Select]
 -s, --serial         Specify a serial number for the stream. If encoding
                     multiple files, this will be incremented for each
                     stream after the first.

Therefore, %r represents a serial number which foobar is somehow dynamically generating for the file.

Apologies for being slightly patronising.

I know its quality will be reduced but now i want to change to a free and small codec because of my lack of free hdd space.

Work fine when convert using command: -s %r -Q -q5.000000 - -o %d with oggenc2.exe

but if I use windows cmd, type this:
Code: [Select]
lame --decode "zzz.mp3" | oggenc2 -q 5 - -o "zzz.ogg"
it says error.

Could any one help about the command line to transcode mp3 to ogg without converting to wav first.
How did Fb2k do?[/s]

edit:
oops, sorry, i missed stdout
the working command line:
Code: [Select]
lame --decode "zzz.mp3" - | oggenc2 -q 5 - -o "zzz.ogg"
