Sv: [MP3 ENCODER] ABR vs VBR

[Peter Olufsen]

I normaly use -h -k -b 192 -ms for encoding. If I change -b 192 to --abr 192 i get 
files with average about 180-182kbit (about 45% frames at 160 and 10% above 192). Is 
the reason for this bits that was wasted in CBR before ?

If its not, which parameters should be used if you want files that only go below 192 
if its caused by bits otherwise wasted in CBR ? (To ensure that you with ABR *always* 
get a better result than with CBR)

Thanks,
Peter
