I second the recommendation of Audacity for encoding OGG. You can
upload your ordinary pcm wav files or 32-bit wav files, resample (or
not), encode to a huge range of formats, as well as use it to record
from an analogue source. I did some exploring in the program options
after the recent discussion here and discovered that it implements
dithering automatically when bit depth is reduced. It gives you a
choice of three dither methods (or none) if you dig down into the
Preferences/Quality. This is also where you set your project sample
rate and it will automatically resample your footage upon export if it
is different. If you don't export it will leave your original footage
untouched and just resample it live for playback.
Audacity is about as user friendly as a sound app can get. Its primary
function is destructive wave editing but as format converter it works
great, is free, and functions on Mac/Win/Lin. It also does AIFF and
MP3 (the latter if you set it up correctly).
