How do you get the bitrate of the resulting file? I can't reproduce your problem here :/
Please install madplay and run "madplay -o null:/dev/null -vvv test.mp3" on the file and paste the output here. Also I recommend you to use "lame preset=standard" (or preset=medium or preset=extreme, depending on your needs) which will result in approximately the same file size as your settings but higher quality. ** Changed in: gstreamer0.10 (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: gstreamer0.10 => gst-plugins-ugly-multiverse0.10 Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- problems in mp3 conversion https://launchpad.net/bugs/67982 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
