Unable to encode to MP3 CBR using BeSweet

[citro]

Did the development of BeSeeet stopped ? I cannot encode WAV to MP3 CBR, using BeSweet and BeLight (latest versions, using latest lame_enc.dll).

Using standalone lame.exe works just fine.

With lastest BeSweet and lame_enc.dll versions:
BeSweet v1.5b31 by DSPguru.

Using lame_enc.dll v1.32 (24/9/2006), Engine 3.97 <http://www.mp3dev.org/>.

and the mp3 have all the frames at 128 Kb/s (CBR).

Works fine for me also with the last BeLight daily build...

Yes, it is the same for me. However, when I use AVI Mux GUI (latest version) to mux audio and video, the MP3 is always seen as VBR.

This is an AviMuxGui problem.

Try encode mp3 without id3Tag (or delete the tag with WinAmp or similar):
BeSweet.exe -core( -input p.wav -output p.mp3 -noid3 ) ...

In old AviMuxGui I see the same mp3 with/without id3Tag is loaded like VBR/CBR.
