Re: [MP3 ENCODER] Why it's still a patch against iso dist10 ?

2000-04-18 Thread Mark Taylor
hi, I'm asking myself why the source of Lame 3.70 is still a patch against the ISO-Code. In the history there is a remark that the last ISO-Code is removed from LAME - So it would be much more simple to distribute a plain sourcecode instead a patch, or am I wrong ?! A+ Christian

In mp3 audio it's 1000 bits per second, in Microsoft's media formats it's 1024 bits per second mark told me it was so they could say they could say they took the same amount of space (128kbps) even though they squeezed more data in there. the cheaters. jack. -- MP3 ENCODER mailing list

Hello, I am trying the ripper/encoder CDEX 1.20, with the Lame (3.38 engine) encoding option. I surprisingly observe large file size differences depending if I select MPEG1 or MPEG2 (30% smaller). So: -I don't know exactly the differences between MPEG1/MPEG2 layer 3, but I though they were

Yes, that post was interesting enough. I started working on it right after I got it! I took a stereo wave file [a difficult one, which has frequencies just *jumping* around 20Khz!]. opened it with CoolEdit, deleted one channel and pasted the other channel over it. So, the two channels were 100%
