[vorbis] Re: MP3 to OGG conversion

[Christopher Wise]

Since you don't seem to understand the technicalities, perhaps an analogy will help.

Consider baking a plain cake. You take ingredients like butter, eggs, sugar and flour and "encode" them into a cake by mixing and baking. You can also chocolate cake by using the same ingredients + chocolate and following a similar process. 

What you are asking for is a recipe to turn a plain cake into a chocolate cake. 

You can't turn the plain cake back into the original ingredients any more than you can recover the original wave file from an MP3 - it's a one way process. 

You could "re-encode" by dissolving the plain cake in water and stirring chocolate powder into the swill and baking it. The result would be a form of chocolate cake, but it would not be very palatable. The "chefs" here think that it's a VERY BAD" idea to pass of this vastly inferior form of chocolate cake as the genuine chocolate cake made from original ingredients.
