Hi All, New to the list, so be gentle :)
I recently ripped a CD to my HD using Lame, hoping to improve on my usual encoder's performance. Everything was going nicely, until I noticed about halfway through each of the songs that artefacts had been introduced to the rip. It's kind of hard to describe. It's not a case of pops, but rather like the encoding's been screwed up; kinda like bits that were meant to be played half a second earlier were being played later instead. I was using alt present extreme, if that helps, on LAME 3.93a1 running MacOS X. Any suggestions or comments? I'm inclined to think it might be a VBR issue, so I'm going to re-encode at insane, and see how that goes. One other thing, while I have everyone's attention. I realise that it's very much dependent on what bit rate you're encoding at, but would anybody be able to give me a rough guide as to what speeds you should expect when ripping at alt present extreme and alt present insane? Would be much appreciated. Cheers -- james _______________________________________________ mp3encoder mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/mp3encoder
