Re: Noob question

I just did a VBR encoding over the full bitrate range (while leaving sample rate 22050) and guess what.....the max bitrate didnt exceed 138kbps :(

It bites to not have more to work with....but whats lost is lost and I cant create better quality than what's left in my source -sigh-

@ Steve

Yes, I tested it again and you're right! Its's just that certain sample rates are incompatible with certain bitrates, it seems. Since 22050-320kbps didnt work I assumed it wouldnt work for all bitrates. Thanks for pointing that out.

Re: Noob question

Hi Koz, Thanks for your reply ;) The source file is a 16-bit stereo and has undergone several decompressions (maybe even conversions) to even come to its current PCM state. However, the ouput sounds wonderful/flawless so the damage -if any- is extremely limited. Audacity can handle it without a hitc...

Noob question

I have a source audio WAV/PCM (705kbps) with a sample rate of 22050hz that I wish to convert to MP3 with Lame3.98 encoder. Since MP3 doesnt support that sample rate I have will choose to re-encode with 44100hz. Now, my question is, does it make sense to encode at 320kbps (vs 160kbps for example) or ...
