Converting speed different for V0 and Cbr 320.

[Music Junkie]

I'm converting some of my Flac files into mp3 at V0 vbr, using slow speed (Best Quality) and the Speed for single file is 54x. But when I convert a flac file to mp3 320 cbr, the conversion speed is 10x by using slow speed (Best Quality). Am I compromising with quality by using V0 vbr, if 320 cbr is more slower while converting. Please help! I want to keep on using V0.

I'm Using dBpoweramp Release 16.

CBR 320 is the highest possible quality, as reflected by the cpu usage encoding it.

Lossy is Lossy.

VBR V0 at slow speed or CBR 320 at slow speed will sound the same. VBR is an efficiency improvement to CBR.

To save space I recommend VBR V0.

Hey Spoon, Thanks for the info. V0 sounds almost precisely the same as 320. So, do you recommend using CBR 320? I will do what you say. I'll be waiting for your suggestion.

They are both very good, personally I would choose V0
