Hmm.. well depends on the software.. Xing's older mp3 compressor used to filter out anything above 16khz :) Perhaps a listen test is in order. Also, which encoder under FreeBSD? I use bladenc, and on a PII-350 I get about 1:3.1 time (ie 1 min of real audio takes 3.1 minutes to compress) --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
