I'm been encoding some wavs off of CDs using the builds on
dkutsanov's website. I found an odd change in lame encoding when
going from lame383a1_f to lame383a1_f. (day before yesterday to
yesterday).
I am encoding my files with -m j -h -v -V 2 -b 96
On all previous builds of lame, in VBR encoding I have never gotten
frames requiring bitrates greater than 256. As of yesterday evening,
just after the announcement of the 383 beta, the version I pulled down
has been encoding more than 1% of all my wavs frames with a bitrate
of 320.
If I understand correctly (and I probably dont) cd ripped wavs are by
definition using a bitrate of 256. So... there should never be call to
need a bitrate of 320 to encode frames - correct?
I'm pretty new to this, but I think the latest VBR fixes or the filter bank
changes have accidentally thrown something off in the VBR bitrate
evaluation.
All FYI, just my $0.02
