Re: [MP3 ENCODER] wav/riff header support and preciseness of lame

[Gabriel Bouvigne]

>- Lame does not support outputting to a wav file with mp3 compression (a mp3 with wav header). Since these files are >needed for programs like virtualdub (for combining video and audio), this feature would make lame even more complete.   I agree about this. I'd also like to see this feature in Lame. It would be nice if someone would add a --l3wav option to Lame (note: this shouldn't be too difficult as it's already implemented in cdex)   >- 'Preciseness' of lame: when I encode a wav file with a length of 97 minutes and 4 seconds, the resulting mp3 is only 97 >minutes and 3 seconds. This impreciseness is much smaller than the fraunhofer codec's as found in AudioActive >Production Studio 2.04 (about 5 seconds shorter), but nevertheless unwanted. For perfect video and audio combining, the >tracks should be exactly the same length.   How to be sure that it's not a decoder problem? It seems that some decoders report false durations, even for cbr encoding.     Regards,   --   Gabriel Bouvigne - France [EMAIL PROTECTED] mobile phone: [EMAIL PROTECTED] icq: 12138873   MP3' Tech: www.mp3-tech.org
