Just input the filesize into the encoder and the encoder's own bitrate calculator will calculate for you. As for IQ, do some test trials....best is not to touch it at all

Can someone here, please tell me on how to convert a Fraps recorded video (FPS1 codec) into flash movie to be uploaded to YouTube? Please state the software (freeware) and instructions on how to do it? Thanks in advance.

any pro here, i need a cdex expert
how to convert cd audio to mp3 in the highest quality
i try to enable the VBR mode and set bitrate min 224 to 320 but just constantly played at 224kbps only
help help help

vbr mode is like that one iirc, if the part of the audio doesnt require such high bitrate to encode, then it will stay at lowest bitrate as set by user during transcoding.

and depend on audio player u use, some player will only show average bitrate, instead of dynamic bitrate info.

maybe thats yours, but my requirement is very high
finally i hv successfully convert it in VBR mode but need to sacrifice to a big MP3 file size

u can try mine config:

abr 134 -h --nspsytune --athtype 2 [--lowpass 16] --ns-bass -8

hmm, custom command line options is not recommended, unless u know what are u doing
and abr 134 is... quite a low bitrate setting.

u can still edit further mar , below is sum refer examples:

simple 120 kbit/s
classical 160 kbit/s
global 170-175 kbit/s
metal 200 kbit/s
hyper 260-270 kbit/s

duh its depend on settings, and i seldom use mp3 encoder
highest quality settings for lame mp3 encoder = --cbr 320 -h lol
if this one cant satisfy u, use lossless codec instead?

abr still same as constant, in vbr mode the bitrate fluctuate like hell

Added on March 10, 2008, 8:10 pmagreed. differ with 128 is not very much
i try 192 but still not satisfy so i used up a whole day to explore the cdex

Added on March 10, 2008, 8:12 pm320 i tried before and the file size exceed 10mb

cdex just utilize the lame encoder dll only, which dont have much options can be tweak on there.
the command line version one will give u the full power to tweak the encoder, but hey, its for advanced user only

instead of messing with the encoder settings, save ur time and read this:
http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=LAME

u can play with Exact Audio Copy v0.95 b5.

if really higher quality, u can try with tis. i usually only use it on original cd which i borrow from fren and when i really like it very much the song in it.

--abr 160 -b 32 -B 320 -m j -q 2 -V 1 --lowpass 19.5

ur command line have ABR and VBR options appear at the same time, which will probably overriding each other.
and lowpass setting already incuded in preset -V0. again its not recommended to modify it

really high quality would be -V0 -h/cbr 320.

i aldy use since many yr ago, i also forget 1 i use is incorrect, so u think which word should i delete it?

--abr 160 -b 32 -B 320 -m j -q 2 -V 1 --lowpass 19.5

either remove -V1 to get true ABR, or remove -abr 160 -b 32 -B 320 to get real VBR.
add --vbr-new for faster encoding speed

strongly recommended to remove the lowpass options, its redundant and probably for experimenting audio quality only.

i cant seem to find it so i need ur guys help. Is there a software that converts mp3/wma into 'cd' file. My car player can only play cd, so planning to convert my mp3/wma to those normal cd. Thanks very much

nero... (support many audio format but depend on plugins installed)
windows media player 11(older version prolly also can, support mp3/wma/wav only iirc)
http://www.burrrn.net/ (better than above, err doesnt support wma directly where is ffmpeg?1?!)

actually wat is the 'normal cd' song file? its not mp3 nor wma... if i can find the type of file it uses, prolly i can use some converter to convert my mp3/wma files into... .cda?

u have to choose "burn/create audio cd" from nero, and select ur favorite mp3/wma or other audio formats, nero will convert it to wav file and burn it to audio cd.

the .cda file u sees on windows explorer is some kind of "fake file" its a small file and its only readable by media player classic(or its external cda dshow decoder installed.)
only cd-ripper and som other cd-burner software can read the true audio-cd file.
its 16bit, stereo, 44100hz, 1411kbps uncompressed wav file.

so ur recomend for real vbr is: ?
