...de. The track was encoded three times: 1) with -q 5, which averaged 181kpbs 2) with -b 160, which averaged 160kpbs 3) with -b 160 -M 160, which averaged 152kpbs. As you can see, -M enforces the bitrate limit very strictly, -b less so. 2) http://www.maths.warwick.ac.uk/~jingram/ogg/bitrate-time/varyingquality.png This shows how bitrate increases throughout the track as you increase the quality setting. As with my previous graphs, there are postscript versions, which will be of higher quality for those of you on OSes that understand them . These, along with the Python script I used to generate the...
