Re: [MP3 ENCODER] vbr encoding of silence

[Gabriel Bouvigne]

--alt-preset standard is using a minimal bitrate of 128kbps by default (ie -b 128). For your specific track, you could use --alt-preset standard -b 32. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brien Oberstein To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 11:23 PM Subject: [MP3 ENCODER] vbr encoding of silence hi,   i was wondering whether it is correct for lame vbr to encode long lengths of silence at 128kbps.  i'm using lame 3.91 with the --alt-preset standard flag.  the track that i'm encoding is off is from a cd with a "hidden track" so there is a few minutes of music, 15-30 minutes of silence and the some more music.  i would have expected lame to use 32kbps for gap.  if this is actually the correct behavior, can anyone recommend a better setting to use for encoding these types of files?   thanks, brien
