Re: [mp3encoder] custom command line (was: Looking for programmer)

2004-05-09 Thread Gabriel Bouvigne
Thats how i got this:
lame -q0 -X6 -ms -d --lowpass 20.05 --cwlimit 11.025 -Z --scale 0.98 
--scale-r 1.1 --scale-l 1.1 --ns-sfb21 2 --nspsytune -v -V0 --vbr-rh 
--abr 172
I hope your are not serious. In case you are, here are a few points:

*As already explained, --scale-l, --scale-r and --scale are redundant 
and can be combined into a single --scale

*--vbr-rh is the default vbr mode, so this switch does nothing in your 
command line

*--cwlimit has no effect when using --nspsytune

*--nspsytune is the default mode, so this switch does nothing in your 
command line

*-v before -V0 does nothing, as -v is already activated by -V0

Considering that your custom command line is including several 
useless/redundant switches, I think that you are experiencing a simple 
placebo effect.

You should try using double blind tests to test your command line 
against the simple (but efficient) "--abr 172"

to have a real license :-)
Sorry Monty, but if someone is using an encoder for the sole purpose of 
creating some streams, he/she doesn't have to acquire a license.
The DISTRIBUTOR of the encoder should obtain the license, but not the 
end-user.

Otherwise every MusicMatch user should acquire a license...
