BeSweet misinterpets bitrate

[falconfighter]

Your BeSweet Commandline seems to get stuck on CBR 128kbps MP3.
"D:\besweet\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "C:\1x05\1x05.vob" -output "C:\1x05\1x05.wav" -substream 0x80 -wavmp3 ) -azid( -c normal -g 0.95 -L -3db ) -ota( -fs 48000 ) -ssrc( --rate 16000 ) -lame( --scale 1 --cbr 48 -p )
produces a 128k/sec mp3 file. It even says so in the lame command line encoding window. Log file paste follows.

Nice tool :) No sense demuxing then using BeSweet... just do it all in one step. And command line too!

[DSPguru]

it should be "--alt-preset cbr" instead of "--cbr".
and may i suggest hybridgain instead of pregain.. ? read old discussions debating this.. ;)

[falconfighter]

I'll take your word on that - how do I set it?

[DSPguru]

remove -azid( -g 0.95 ), add -ota( -hybridgain )

note i never tested hybridgain on 48kbps mp3 streams, so if you have any troubles, go back to pregain, but please report bugs :) !

[falconfighter]

hmm.... do I leave the rest of the azid or get rid of it entirely?

[KpeX]

Leave the rest.
