Hi,
i think there is a little problem with the --abr mode,
i have make some tests with ac3/mpa and with different version of lame_enc.dll (mitioki/rarewares) i have tested with besweet v1.4 & 1.5b11.
and here were my results :
--------------------------
with the lame_enc (mitioki version) using the lame v3.93.1 & 3.94 alpha there is a problem if u use an ABR bitrate under 77kbts . and it the same with the rarewares version (3.93a)
here my log file :
lame_enc.dll 3.93 @ 77Kbts, all work fine :

as u can see @ 77kbts all work but unhappily @ 76 kbts the encoding process stop , here the bad logfile :

------------------
i suppose it a perhaps a lame_enc.dll bug , and not a besweet bug.
can someone could check in the lame_enc source (on rarewares) ?
Thank u ,
Bye.
