Subject: VARIABLE BIT RATES WITH LAME, SOME NOTES
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Greetings!
Sorry! I'm all over the place with e-mail at the moment.
Some time ago, someone on list asked about VBR quality with LAME, they said
that they were getting mixed results with a quality figure of 9.
This will indeed be the case as (with the VBR encoding) 9 is the worst
quality you can use. The quality for VBR encoding is slightly different to
that of Constant bit rate encoding, the quality setting for VBR
encoding affects both the encoded audio nad the size of the file thus the
best quality figure is probably about 5, where you get maximum quality and
maximum compression.
LAME boasts 2 VBR methods, "OLD" and "NEW", "NEW", is very fast but doesn't
produce as good a results as does "OLD", which is considerably
slower. Naturally! this situation will change as time goes on.
