> According to my ISO doc (section 2.4.2.3), for layer III, decoders are not
required to support higher free format higher than 320kbps. So free format
is not restricted to <=320kbps.
> And decoders must support free format at least up to 320k.
My ISO 13818-3 documentation : Section 2.4.2.3
"The decoder is not required to support bitrates higher than 256 kbit/s, 160
kbit/s, 160 kbit/s in respect to Layer I, II and III when in free format
mode."
And in 2.1.74 : "2.1.74 free format [audio]: Any bitrate other than the
defined bitrates that is less than the maximum valid bitrate for each
layer."
So, there is a maximum bitrate for free format or my ISO documentation is
diferent from the original ISO or there's a newer version of the doc.
My ISO 13818-3 is from 11/11/99 , and have 634 kb (doc format).
There is any document that modify the ISO 13818-3 ??
