I am not sure.  But the files do play on Windows, just not straight
from the browser.  I have to download them first and then play the
file from disk.

I checked for vbr in the man page and did not come up with
anything. I did activate the -hq settings, and cobbled the rest of the
options from other posts to get a file which looks better. Below are
the lines from my script (probably I am doing something stupid?).

How do I turn off vbr ?

Thanks,
