[MPlayer-users] abr audio

[gabor]

hi,

how does actually abr-audio encoding work?

what i don't understand is this:

it's done in 1 pass... then how can mp3lame know how many bits can he
use for the audio ? i mean abr means at the end the audio will be
average x kb/s.... that means sometimes above, sometimes below...

how does he know how much can he go above / below if he does this in 1
pass?


thanks,
gabor
