rishi you will lose a large amount of data. the optimum bitrate to not lose any data in compression is 256 bitrate. example: compress wav to 128 bit then recompress to 320 bit still is a 128 bit file because you lost the information in the first compression. 128 sucks anyways....why use it...unless of course you have dialup (which means get off your ass and get a high rate connect!). it sounds fuzzy in cmparison to 256. -m --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
