I'm using EAC/LAME 3.92. I've traditionally made the choice to compromise on the sound in order to save space: 'alt-preset standard' is just too big a filesize for my uses. At the moment I'm using 'alt-preset 144[or 160] -b96' as a compromise to retain a smaller filesize. With that goal in mind, are there any better encoding option choices?
Is it worth putting in a feature request for something like an 'alt-preset low' - something that goes for a smaller filesize, but does everything smart like 'standard' does? I'm not sure if I'm alone in such a market... Does the 'standard' methodology allow resolution scaling like that, or does it use heuristics that don't scale like that? Just curious - I'm ignorant about the innards. One aspect I'm wondering about with my current choice is that it doesn't seem to take a 'global' look at the file: say the middle section is very quiet and sparse, the 'alt-preset NNN' doesn't seem to decide it could use the unneeded space from there on the busier parts elsewhere - it just varies the resolution on a very whort time scale. (Heck, I don't even know if 'standard' does that, but I was assuming it did.) Anyway, I'm just looking for the best choice for my constraints. -- Vincent Kargatis np: Burkhard Stangl - "Teint" (R�cital) _______________________________________________ mp3encoder mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/mp3encoder
