Help understanding the output from lame
Here’s an freeze-frame output from lame while encoding using variable bitrate on Ubuntu:
LAME 3.98.2 32bits (http://www.mp3dev.org/) CPU features: MMX (ASM used), SSE (ASM used), SSE2 Using polyphase lowpass filter, transition band: 17249 Hz - 17782 Hz Encoding pj2007-08-05d1t03.wav to pj2007-08-05d1t03.wav.mp3 Encoding as 44.1 kHz j-stereo MPEG-1 Layer III VBR(q=4) Frame | CPU time/estim | REAL time/estim | play/CPU | ETA 3500/10289 (34%)| 0:05/ 0:15| 0:06/ 0:19| 16.994x| 0:12 192 [3481] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%**************************************************************************************************************** 224 [ 11] % 256 [ 7] % 320 [ 1] % ----------------------------------------------02:57--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- kbps LR MS % long switch short % 192.3 12.1 87.9 95.9 2.1 2.0
Specifically regarding this:
192 [3481] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%****************************************************************************************************************
What does the ratio of % to * mean? It shifts around as the encoding progresses. Is it something like “placeholder for 100″ or something?
