> A very new version is available as a plugin for 'Nero Burning Rom' cd
burning program.
> Price DEM 29 (released October 99).
> Nero itself can sometimes also be obtained around the same street price or
is included w. CD burners.
> The new FhG has fast, normal and slow mode and optional VBR.
> Fast mode is 8..10x real time on a celeron at 450 which is amazing because
the quality is also excellent, especially at VBR. What sucks in my opinion
is the high frequency filter (last FhG I measured was -3dB at 14 kHz
although it was told to be 16 kHz). Also if I play back in Winamp, VBR
results in completely mad runtime length display, so telling the length of a
playlist becomes impossible. Also the bitrate results at VBR are quite
unpredictable, and sometimes the bitrate chosen is simply too low so that
quality suffers.
> This was a more severe problem w. the old FhG which would produce absolute
crap with certain pieces of music where you wouldn't even expect it (that
even at fixed bitrate, but accompanied by a dramatic increase in processing
speed). That was the reason why I looked for an alternative and got to LAME.
>
> I submit to you that in my opinion, LAME is still more useful (better VBR
behavior) and I can't tell any quality difference from whatever music I
tried so far, including several very good original CDs.
> BTW Normal mode in the new FhG is 7 times slower, slow mode even 49 times
(who needs that?).
> Ripping and encoding can be done w. the Nero/FhG combo in one step, speed
was 4x on my system (bare ripping speed was 11x).
