Hello, I dont know why but ffmpeg change bitrate when I change tempo for audio track from 25 to 23.976.
Original file bitrate is 384 kb/s but ffmpeg converting this bitrate to 448 kb/s why?

Thank for help.

ffmpeg -i “%F” -filter:a “atempo=0.95904” -acodec codec “copy” -vn “%F”.ac3

Does it matter? The file size will be a little larger but other than that it shouldn’t be a problem. I’d guess that if you look through the FFmpeg documentation there will be an option that you could add for the target bit-rate.

I’m sure will be but I use this code in context menu to convert many files with different bitrate.

omg i’m idiot I wrote post on wrong forum :smiley: hehe
