BeSweet tells me:
Code:
[00:00:00:000] |  Dialog normalization: No
When changing Azid section to "-azid( -n1 )" DNR is active. In fact any nonzero value will do.
That's pretty strange indeed...

I tested on my first sample (AC3_6ch 48 KHz) :

From oggenc's documentation: "-b n, --bitrate=n. Sets encoding to the bitrate closest to n (in kb/s)." Does Vorbis even have a CBR mode?
mmh yes...check the ML.

yes...exactly.
