Re: Which is quicker, converting to 320 or 256 bitrate?

In theory converting to 256 requires more compression so would probably 
take longer.  But any difference is likely to be small.  GiP uses FFmpeg 
for MP3 conversion, so why not run some tests through it directly and 
time them?

Which is quicker, converting to 320 or 256 bitrate?

2019-02-10 Thread Amro Bilal

Hello everyone,

I am setting the option to always convert downloaded radio programmes to 
a constant bitrate MP3 format, and my question is, does it make any 
difference, speed wise, if I convert to a lower bitrate than 320? i.e. 
Would the conversion take less time if I convert to say 256 bitrate? 
Thank you.


Amro
