[MPlayer-users] audio encoding v2 + maybe bugreport too

[gabor]

hi,

after i got the info about which audio-type is recommended i decided to
do some tests...

i had the source file a div3-video + mp3(cbr?)96kbit/s audio avi.

i used always mencoder -ovc copy -oac mp3lame -lameopts SOMETHING
infile.avi -o outfile.avi

mencoder : cvs from today
mp3lame : cvs snapshot from yesterday

1. cbr:
i wanted to create a cbr file too ( i'm planning to do some win32
testing)

SOMETHING = cbr:br=64 ... i didn't put any aq=x here, because i'm not
really interested in audio quality in this test. am i correct that
adding aq=0 would give me the highest quality encoding-algo?

the file was created + played-back-on-linux without problems... i have
yet to do some win32 testing

2. abr
as i understand this creates a vbr audio, where the average bitrate
would be somewhere around the specified value

SOMETHING = abr:br=64 ... 

creation + playback no problem on linux

3. vbr
as i understand i can specify to use vbr encoding where i doesn't
specify the average bitrate but the quality.

SOMETHING = vbr:q=9 .. this should create the worst quality audio.

creation: it seems that he creates a cbr:br=128 audio. actually i
haven't tested the mp3-part by extracting it from the audio and
examining with a special tool for mp3s, but mencoder reports at the end
that cbr:br=128 was used and the filesize indicates the same

playback: no problem on linux


summarization:

1. did i use mp3lame correctly here?
2. does vbr encoding ( i mean true-vbr (3.)) work in mencoder?


thanks,
gabor
