:: > Why are mixed blocks forbidden in mid/side stereo mode? :: ISO/IEC 11172-3 says, "In MS_stereo mode, both channels of a granule
must have
:: the same block_type."
This does not forbid the use of mixed in MS mode, doesn't it?
Well, the demo of mp3enc3.1 I have does not allow to turn mixed blocks on. But I found some »secret« switches: -mol n maximum number of outer loops -amp n amplify mode 0 = all distorted bands 1 = worst distorted bands 2 = mean if all distorted 3 = mean if 90 % distorted There are alot more switches, but they are disabled.
There seems to be a 3.1.1 release from april 2000.
Just to compare it to LAME: -amp 0 is LAME's default behaviour, -amp 1 if compiled with RH_AMP defined and -Y passed.
It might be interesting to find which switches are used for the different -q modes.
