Did you use as a CLI? Did it ask you to locate the program? I think this is what happeend one time I tried using one of these (what I call) non-standard things. Now I dont' quite remember, either I browsed until I found it and it worked that way, or in fact I had to move the program to the proper folder where it was looking for it - memory's too fuzzy on that LOL!

Re: conversion problem

Yeah, I had it located in the right spot and it actually started trying to convert. I ended up with a 1 second mp3 that was just a static.
I also found a demo version of mp3enc31.exe but that gave me the same results.

Oh! can't say that I remember how it went (if ever it did) as I don't :D

Wait, I just tried it and it worked fine. Maybe it's a problem with your input file's parameters and the selection of mp3 output file paramaters.

I started with a normal uncompressed PCM, 44.1KHz, 16-bit, 2ch stereo wav and converted to mp3 using that program, 128kbps and quality 9. No problem really. The result was joint stereo.

Re: conversion problem

hmmmmm...Ok i'll try messing around with those settings

Re: conversion problem

Got it to work at 128kb only though......I was trying 256kb before.
Looks like its the same demo version I have.....It's restricted to 30 sec of conversion. Blah!!!

I need to find a hacker for hire...LOL..unlock my other encoder.

Hmmmm... you're right. Id' not noticed that. Oh, welll....LOL

It's also rather lousy quality. I can get a much better sounding mp3 128kbps joint stereo from Lame.

Re: conversion problem

What are the optimal settings for the best quality Mp3? File size not being a factor. I've been using "alt insane"

Re: conversion problem

If file size isn't a factor, do 320kbps Joint Stereo
As for presets, I can't really help.. don't know them, as I don't use mp3 on a regular basis.

Re: conversion problem

is 48000hz better than 44100hz? What is exactly the difference?

[LtData]

Re: conversion problem

For CD, keep it at 44100Hz. CDs are sampled at this rate and you increasing it to 48000Hz will not improve the sound and may actually make it sound worse.

The difference is the amount of time each second the sound is sampled. Most computer sound cards can reproduce both frequencies the same, but a few cards work best with 48KHz. (48KHz = 48000Hz)

Ahhh IC

Re: conversion problem

Personally, I would only do 48 khz if I'm MAKING the audio (e.g. microphone/recording sound using Auxiliary Input) because I tend to think that the audio sounds better.
