Re: [Update] Lame MP3

since the mp3 support is knackered it doesn't seem that there would be a massive advantage to updating lame. :(

Re: wrong bit rate and sampling for mp3 x64

can i just ask a question about the bug reporting and fixing procedure here.

Re: Automatically decide bitrate based on final file size

target size would be nice, but it would require a rethinking of the interface.

to get it accurate you would probably need to trans the audio first too because most vbr audio codecs are pretty unpredictable.

Re: wpredp=2 (x264 encoding) Problems with Standalone Players

i support this.

i have an old version of media coder before this was co-opted into x264.

because i have a 64bit OS i'm easily able to run two version together, ie the latest 64bit version, and an old 32bit version.

you could even just use lame.exe, it's located in mediacoder's codecs folder. it's a dos app, but most audio coders are essentially a front end for it.
