Hi Everybody, I was trying to assess the performance of lame encoder(version 3.93.1) at low bitrates(32,64 80 and 96 Kbps).What I found is for music streams test cases the quality is not at all improving for option q 5 ( that is with psychoacoustics and noise shaping enabled)as compared to normal quality (q 9 with psychoacoustics and noise shaping disabled).I used bailamos song from Enrique Iglesius and other pop/rock songs as test cases.
Any ideas to improve encoding quality at low bit rates? My testing showed that low pass filtering does almost nothing to improve quality at low bit rates. I request the members of lame group to suggest a few ideas for improving quality at low bit rates I am measuring quality by a freeware tool called eaqual which gives out Objective Difference Grade (0DG).Is there anything wrong with such a measurement method? Are there any other methods to assess the quality of sound? Thaniks and regards Manjunath _______________________________________________ mp3encoder mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/mp3encoder
