Publisher's description of Ogg Vorbis encoder for Windows
From Ogg Vorbis:Ogg Vorbis is a completely open, patent-free, professional audio encoding and streaming technology with all the benefits of Open Source.

Version: Ogg Vorbis encoder for Windows 1.0 RC2
Pros: didn't freeze up my system and i didn't have to resotore the operating system
Cons: didn't do anything. something kind of command line flashed open and then closed. i couldn't find it to run it. not in the installed software list. want to convert audio cds to ogg, and don't think this program is what i'm looking for.

Version: Ogg Vorbis encoder for Windows 1.0 RC2
Pros: Used Lame for a while, but the MP3 player stopped recognising MP3 files. Whilst this was an annoyance at the time I discovered that it recognised Ogg files, thus the conversion began.
I use this in conjunction with Exact Audio Copy and the results are excellent. Much more versatile than MP3 and Open Source. If you want to know about bit rate etc see "Filter's" review above.
Cons: So far nothing and I doubt that I ever will find anything that bothers me. Anything less than five stars would be an injustice.
One possible gripe is that you have to know how to use this and research is required, but all that was worth it for the outstanding results.
