Re: [MP3 ENCODER] Clarifying VBR settings

[Filipe Arnaldo de Carvalho Valpereiro]

Hello. I've compressed some mp3 with -q 0 at 320 Kb/s.
When i open them with EncSpot the lame tag show a quality of 60
in contrast with mp3 made using VBR that shows up at quality 98

This seems to be relationed with the Vbr scale. So my question is this:
How does a different Vbr scale affect the compression quality?

Is there any direct conection betwen these two?

Should one ignore the quality (Vbr scale) at CBR mode?

My setting is lame -m s -V 0 -b 224 -B 320 -q 0 -nspsytune --vbr-mtrh --athtype 3
When i don't use VBR i drop the -V 0 and -b 224.

Any help?
Thanks in advance
Filipe
