Hi,

I can't really say for certain which encoder is better.  I understand
BladeEnc has made some substantial quality improvements as well.  Does
BladeEnc cut off at 16KHZ like other ISO based encoders seem to?

I am relatively new to this list and do have a question somewhat related to
this.  Since I wasn't here when the source of BladeEnc became available, I
am curious as to how the two projects differ in terms of project goals. 
I read Lame's rationale statement and it appears that at the time of it's
conception, it was the only "open source" encoder out there.  Now that
BladeEnc is open source, are the two groups working together to murge fixes
and quality improvements?

Best regards,
Shane
