Hi all - I've change the settings because I noticed that when set to 190 KBS, the converted files came out as round about 155 variable bit rate, in joint stereo format. The original files were 192 KBS stereo. I just need to check if I've missed something, or is joint stereo the only option, and is variable bit rate usually lower than a fixed bit rate? - Andy ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
