Optimal BeSweet Settings

[falconfighter]

What is the best set of BeSweet settings to produce a 128kbps MP3 out of an AC3 file for a movie? DRC, etc.

Using the presets created by DSPGuru in BeSweetGUI. ;)

Never used the GUI, but here is my command line:

besweet -core( -input in.ac3 -output out.mp3 -logfile BeSweet.log ) -azid( -c normal -L -3db ) -ota( -hybridgain ) -lame( --alt-preset 128 )

Cheers,

Hybridgain is definitely a must for AC3 > MP3, as is '-L -3db' for a good downmix. DRC is a matter of opinion, but light or normal are good choices. Also a dolby surround downmix is important, which is the default in BeSweet.
