Guys, what's the difference between the modes "new VBR" and "old VBR" on Lame encoder?
I am kinda new in ripping my CDs using VBR. Previously I ripped'em using CBR. I use the following settings in Easy CD-DA Audio Extractor http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/8054/settings1u.jpg Should I be using Min bitrate limit when I am ripping with VBR V0? Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Thanks Moguta & LiquidAcid!
I understood. First of all if you saw, I am using 320Kbps for the Max bitrate, which is the highest bitrate for the MP3 format. Ergo I am not "limiting" the VBR algorithm, because I chose the Max Bitrate to be 320Kbps. The truth is that VBR is marvelous (in compare to CBR 320Kbps), because I save space for the whole album, which "additional" space was killing me in the upload (as I happen to have relatively slow upload speed). On the other hand by using a min bitrate, I just waste some space, right? For istance there's a frame tha needs 140 Kbps, but I've set the min bitrate on 224Kbps. Hence the VBR algorithm is going to choose 224Kbps for that particular frame, and subsequently waste some bits (224-140 = 84), right? My rational guess is that this won't affect the transparency of the mp3, right? There's nowhere I can't reach. |
