Lame 3.98 beta 6
Reply #3 – 2007-10-22 01:36:07
Did a quick test with -V2, for some reason this version produces smaller bitrates then beta 5 and 3.97.foo_abx 1.3.1 report foobar2000 v0.9.5 beta 1 2007/10/22 01:15:12 File A: F:\Listen Tests\Die In A Crash (Sample) LAME 3.98b6 V2.mp3 File B: F:\Listen Tests\Die In A Crash (Sample).wav 01:15:12 : Test started. 01:16:40 : 00/01 100.0% 01:17:40 : 01/02 75.0% 01:17:55 : 02/03 50.0% 01:18:08 : 03/04 31.3% 01:18:32 : 04/05 18.8% 01:19:05 : 05/06 10.9% 01:19:19 : 06/07 6.3% 01:19:42 : 07/08 3.5% 01:20:16 : 08/09 2.0% 01:20:50 : 09/10 1.1% 01:21:15 : 10/11 0.6% 01:21:37 : 11/12 0.3% 01:22:08 : 12/13 0.2% 01:22:30 : 13/14 0.1% 01:23:01 : 14/15 0.0% 01:23:03 : Test finished. ---------- Total: 14/15 (0.0%) Sounds the same or worse then beta 5. Here is another killer track I have that is not transparent on LAME 3.90.3 --alt-preset standard and also not transparent on LAME 3.97 -V --vbr-new.foo_abx 1.3.1 report foobar2000 v0.9.5 beta 1 2007/10/22 01:08:48 File A: F:\Listen Tests\Stigmata LAME3.98b6.mp3 File B: F:\Listen Tests\Stigmata.flac 01:08:48 : Test started. 01:10:09 : 01/01 50.0% 01:10:13 : 02/02 25.0% 01:10:30 : 03/03 12.5% 01:10:40 : 04/04 6.3% 01:11:09 : 05/05 3.1% 01:11:28 : 06/06 1.6% 01:11:38 : 07/07 0.8% 01:12:00 : 08/08 0.4% 01:12:17 : 09/09 0.2% 01:13:01 : 10/10 0.1% 01:13:23 : 11/11 0.0% 01:13:29 : Test finished. ---------- Total: 11/11 (0.0%) This track was transparent on beta 5, but it not at beta 6 and the beta 6 encode produced a smaller bitrate while ogg at q.6 and nero aac q.55 was in bigger bitrates. So far this the worst encode I heard of this track it also has the artifacts that were on -V 5. LAME 3.98b5 205kbps LAME 3.98b6 187kbps LAME 3.97 187kbps LAME 3.90.3 192kpbs
