oggenc is the official (Ogg) Vorbis encoder by the Xiph.Org Foundation. It is part of vorbis-tools.
oggenc2 is an enhanced version of oggenc developed by John33. Features compression from lossless files (Monkey's Audio, LPAC, FLAC, OptimFROG, WavPack and Shorten - requires presence of decoders), and the ability to specify "padding" in the headers for subsequent insertion of tags.
BlackSword (of the Ogg Vorbis Acceleration Project) has created a highly-optimized version of oggenc2 as part of his Lancer suite.
Compatibility
Most of the time, oggenc may be replaced by oggenc2, as the latter recognizes the former's switches.
If the application that uses oggenc is hard-coded to find "oggenc.exe" (or its equivalent in *nix), you can simply rename "oggenc2.exe" to "oggenc.exe" and overwrite the original "oggenc.exe".
