LAME 3.94b commandline Options

[Frankie]

Can anybody please tell me what commandline to use in EAC for LAME 3.94b V4?

[Arite]

Same as here but with "-V 4" instead of "-V 2". --vbr-new is required if you want in enabled IIRC (now it is enabled by default in e.g. 3.98).

LAME 3.98 is the recommended LAME version now though.

Arite.

Should be that simple, shouldn't it?

These are my compression settings:





And this is the error-message I'm getting constantly:

[Frankie]

Works with 3.93.1, works with 3.95.1 but doesn't work with 3.94b.
Maybe the exe is buggy? DL'd the zip from two different locations.
Does anybody have a link to a working version of 3.94b? Or maybe even to a dll-version I can use with CDex?

Just out of interest why do you want to use that particular version?

[Alexxander]

Lame 3.98.2 is the way to go. Download it at http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lame-bundle.php

Just wanna do some bitrate comparison and listening tests and don't want to use the alpha.

[Nick.C]

Lame 3.98.2 is not an alpha version.

[Frankie]

Lame 3.98.2 is not an alpha version.

I was talking 'bout 3.94a

Folks, this thread is about 3.94 so please stop recommending 3.98.2 to me. I do use 3.98.2 but as I said, I wanna do some test with older versions.

Not sure if this will do anything, but you don't need the space between the "V" and the "4". So try "-V4" instead of "-V 4"


Also try running directly from a command prompt to see if it works or if perhaps you get a more descriptive error message.

I mimicked the compression options page you gave (EDIT: including the space between the V and the 4) and it worked just fine. Your problem lies elsewhere.

Tried this. Doesn't work either. Thanx anyway.

Yeah, I think it's the exe. Could you maybe upload yours to sendpace or somewhere else?

Here you go: http://www.rarewares.org/files/mp3/lame3.94b.zip .exe only.

[Frankie]

Thank you very much, john33!

This one is working. It's much bigger than the exe I have (only ~255KB).

[john33]

Well, this one was compiled using Intel 9.1. The other one may have been compiled with an older compiler and/or may have been compressed with UPX. Either way, at least this one works.
