At these types of average bitrates, I think you might be better off with CBR instead of VBR. This is because with an average bitrate 230kbs, you only need an extra 90kbs to go up to 320kbs. 90kbs is only 40% of the average frame size - these types of fluctuations are easily handled by the

Howdy, Unless they have changed it significantly since I last looked at it (quite a while ago) AIFC is just AIFF with the added possibility of using compressed audio instead of raw PCM. Either format is 'chunk' based, like RIFF-WAVE. That is, an AIFF/C file consists of a number of chunks, most
