You use the -b switch to specify the minimum bitrate, or the VBR code might get too agressive during "easy" portions of the WAV file. I use -v -b 112 as suggested in the docs, works well here. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
