Yes, VBR is really VBR :-)
A few more informations how you call Lame would be usefull:
- operating system
- Lame version
- complete commandline
I suppose you are calling Lame out of a DOS Box.
Well, first of all, Lames command line settings are case sensitive.
And as far as I know DOS (I'm on Linux:), it will make all uppercase.
So, if you call "lame -V2 -b 128 x.wav" Lame will see
"LAME -V2 -B 128 X.WAV", which will limit Lame to 128 kbits
at maximum, resulting in an almost constant bitrate of 128 kbits.
