Huh? The _average_ bitrate is about the same... But that's the whole point of variable bitrate encoding...
VBR conserves bits when they are not needed (silent pieces, etc), and uses them whenever the encoding gets hardest... Constant bitrate does not produce constant quality Variable bitrate can approach constant quality http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_bitrate#Average_bitrate -- The default MP3 profile is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585496 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-media in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
