Encode Setting window

The encoder parameter setting window of CD Mp3 Extractor,from here can modify the encode parameters.

Functions:

Encode Parameter Setting: From here can modify encode pameters.

• [Sample Rate]: You can choose appropriate samplerate of output MP3 file,usually 44100Hz.
• [Bit Rate]: For CBR, this specifies the actual bitrate, for VBR, it specifies the minimum bitrate
  Allowed bitrates are: 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256 and 320Hz.
• [Channel]: Stereomode for MP3 file. This can be either STEREO, JOINT STEREO,DUAL CHANNEL or MONO.
• [Encode Mode]: Select encode mode.CD Mp3 Extractor is able to encode your music using one of its 3 encoding modes: constant bitrate (CBR), variable bitrate (VBR) and average bitrate (ABR).

Constant Bitrate (CBR): This is the default encoding mode, and also the most basic. In this mode, the bitrate will be the same for the whole file. It means that each part of your mp3 file will be using the same number of bits. The musical passage beeing a difficult one to encode or an easy one, the encoder will use the same bitrate, so the quality of your mp3 is variable. Complex parts will be of a lower quality than the easiest ones. The main advantage is that the final files size won't change and can be accurately predicted.

Variable bitrate (VBR): In this mode, you choose the desired quality on a sqale from 9 (lowest quality/biggest distortion) to 0 (highest quality/lowest distortion). Then encoder tries to maintain the given quality in the whole file by choosing the optimal number of bits to spend for each part of your music. The main advantage is that you are able to specify the quality level that you want to reach, but the inconvenient is that the final file size is totally unpredictible.

Average Bitrate (ABR): In this mode, you choose the encoder will maintain an average bitrate while using higher bitrates for the parts of your music that need more bits. The result will be of higher quality than CBR encoding but the average file size will remain predictible, so this mode is highly recommended over CBR. This encoding mode is similar to what is referred as vbr in AAC or Liquid Audio (2 other compression technologies).

• [Max Bit Rate]: When VBR mode is enabled, it specifies the maximum allowed bitrate (see also Bitrate to specify the minium bitrate), for CBR mode this setting is ignored.
• [VBR Quality]: Quality option if VBR is enabled (0=highest quality, 9 is lowest quality).
• [ABR Bitrate]: If the Average Bit Rate is specified, the lame encoder ignores the nVBRQuality settings The allowed range for the ABR Bitrate parameter any integer value between: 32000 - 320000 bps
  
• [Preset Encode Quality]:Keep in mind that the presets can overwrite some of the other settings.
• [Copyright]: Setting the Copyright bit to target mp3 file or not.
• [Private]: Setting the Private bit to target mp3 file or not.
• [Original]: Setting the Original bit to target mp3 file or not.
• [Strict ISO]:Use strict ISO encoding rules.

Output Format: Specify output format for extracting.

File Output Path: Specify the storage path for extracted or converted files.

Notice: After you modify the settings,please push the "Apply" button,you also can restore the default parameter by push the "Default" button.
