question: Can Opus also be encoded to more than 256 kbps?

Sa-Ja-Di commented 7 years ago

People wrote that the max capacity is around 512? Can i use some command line parameters for this or does this method so far not work in LameXP?

Anyway, great program :)

Hello,

allowed Opus bitrate is 6 kpbs to 256 kpps, per channel: https://mf4.xiph.org/jenkins/view/opus/job/opus-tools/ws/man/opusenc.html#--bitrate

So, yes, if we encode Stereo source, we can use up to 512 kbps, in theory. But does it really make sense ❓

Opus compression for music (stereophonic source sampled at CD quality) is said to be "very close to transparent" at 96 kbps to 128 kbps, and "transparent (with very low chance of artifacts)" at 192 kbps: http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Opus#Music_encoding_quality

Think we can close this one,
