hi,


in DOCS/encoding.html:
.
.
.
# VBR MP3 audio - IMPORTANT NOTE: VBR MP3 audio doesn't always play
nicely on Windows players! On the other hand, currently MEncoder's CBR
encoding is totally broken on Win32 players :)
.
.
.

i made some tests, and:
mencoder's cbr,abr,vbr are all playable on windows, but you have to play
with it a bit to get it work ( mplayer2 only, not wmplayer for example
)..

but, i've found that mencoder's abr works without problems on windows,


so i think ABR mp3 is the recommended output of mencoder ( arpi agreed
btw )..

so i recommend to change a bit that text about vbr audio into something
like:

"MP# audio- important note: vbr and cbr audio doesn't always play nicely
on windows players! if you want to create avis playable everywhere, use
ABR MP3"

bye,
gabor
