[MP3 ENCODER] VBR option oddities

2000-04-08 Thread spahm .
When I encode with the -V2 switch, I get full bandwidth (no filters activated), but when I specifie a minimum bitrate switch -b160 or even -b256, lame applies a low pass filter. Oddly enough, -b128 or lower doesn't trigger the low pass filter. Any one have any ideas? I'm using lame 3.70.

I get the same result as Joshua using djgpp msvc. I noticed that Makefile.msvc still has loopold.c in it. Could that be it? From: Mark Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MP3 ENCODER] V3.70 Default Mode Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2000 10:11:26 -0600

[MP3 ENCODER] LAME better than FhG ;)

I have tried encoding the same file with the old FhG encoder (2.7x) and it does not have the same problem. Neither does any other encoder I've tried, except mp3enc 3.1. Also, if you clip a small segment and encode that, the blip doesn't occur anymore. (Maybe a bug in the bit reservoir?) That's
