[MP3 ENCODER] ABR vs CBR

2000-06-23 Thread Robert Hegemann
So ABR is VBR that tries to match the average bit-rate to the user supplied value ? David ABR is more like CBR without to be constraint to fit into a fixed bitrate, so it is allowed to use frames of variable sizes, like VBR too. ABR is a hybrid of CBR and VBR. And yes, ABR tries to

Hi, The dist10-code is part of the ISO 13818 standard. So everyone can go to a good library and copy the standard. (Here in Germany you need papers from a university or you have to pay money ... but basically you can get this code without any problems - and without hacking.) If you look into

Now that -Y has become default, to produce average bitrates of around 128 (joint-stereo), I have to select -V9. This compares to -V4 with the old VBR. Does it need some tuning? I didn't tested it, but if -V9 is producing around 128k, I think the scale needs to be changed. And if it's

Thanks for the info. This makes it a little difficult to look for empty frames since every frame will have text in it, (and different text at that as the versions change). Is there some set limit to the length of the name + version string? So someone could check for 'LAME' in the first 4 bytes
