--alt-preset dvd :-)

Tried to search for "dvd" on the forum but min. searchterm >= 4 chr.

So anyways... how about a preset for DVD audio? I find --alt-preset standard to be a bit large, and --r3mix seems to be out of date. And now a days, you need all sorts of fancy, advanced switches and hours of tuning for optimal MP3 output. I can't do that. LAME makes great MP3's but it seriously lacks user friendlyness. An issue that neeeds to be adressed in 3.90 stable IMHO.

Back on topic, however... VBR DVD rip audio = good, --alt-preset standard = large... need lower average bps audio for DVD rips. And for other purposes perhaps. Portable audio players fx.

How about just using --alt-preset <bitrate>? I always use --alt-preset 96, 112 or 128 for my 1CD rips (depending on the length and compressibility of the movie, and how important I find the sound quality to be in relation to the picture quality) and --alt-preset standard for shortish 2CD rips...

But that makes a CBR file, doesn't it? I'd really prefer VBR. More efficient and such.

That makes an abr file, and is the only way to predict final size directly.

It's not because a specific vbr command line usually falls into the 130-150kbps range that in your particular case you won't have 190kbps.
If you have some space constraints, then you can't directly use full vbr

Thanks... I'll go play with that.
