AoTuV

Abbreviation for Aoyumi's Tuned Vorbis; it is third-party development/tuning of the Vorbis encoding algorithm.

aoTuV versions improves significantly on Vorbis quality: Most people agree aoTuV beta 4 achieves transparency at -q 5.

The latest version is aoTuV beta 4.51. It improves further on low bit-rate quality, to such extent that some reports -q 1 (approx. 80 kbps) is good enough for streaming.

See Recommended Ogg Vorbis for more details.
