C can't cast from type A to type B. There is only the possibility to cast every shit to type B. And this is dangerous. So you write a int ifreq; double dfreq; ifreq = (int) ( dfreq ); and now dfreq changes the type to 'struct bla*'. C converts this without batting an

I've improved the correlation calculator a little bit, so not only the correlation of the pure signal is calculated, but also the correlation of the (in time) differentiated signal. Normally the correlation of differentiated signal is a little bit lower than the of the original signal. But

[MP3 ENCODER] VBR, distortion, and CBR

2000-09-04 Thread Pierre Hugonnet
Hello, If I've well undertood what the VBR quality setting means (-V x), it is the allowed number of bands where distortion (in the psycho-model sense) occurs . I'd like now to take the problem from the other side: in CBR, is there a way to have statistics about the number of distorded bands

What do you think sounds uglier: 20 distorted bands, each 0.1 dB or 1 distorted band by 2 dB ??? I would say that 20 distorted bands at 0.1dB is preferable, and assume that this is the choice of lame's algorithms. Is this assumption wrong ? Depends. If it is maximum
