A program that can tell me ogg audio variable rates?

[Goldman123]

Have .ogg video files (also known as .ogm)

And i'm demuxing the audio files from virtual dub mod. Then converting it to mp3.

But for the converting, want to know how I can figure out the variable bit rates of these ogg audios.

Any1 know a program or how? So that when I make the mp3, I know which Variable rate to put

(for example, to know how to put this in the conversion...

Min Bitrate [number goes here] kbps
Max Birtate [number goes here] kbps

)

Also, Theres two different audios, one Japanese and the other English.

So Question #2

How Can I Edit this so when I burn it on a DVD (Want to burn it as a Data DVD) I can select which Audio to play when its already playing on the DVD player?

DIKO??

[Goldman123]

Regarding to my First Question...

Maybe Just putting the (VBR) to the lowest minimum and highest maximum.

Makes sense.

An Answer to #2 would really be appreciated, and any other comments.

ogg != ogm

Mr QuestionMan will tell you the audio bitrate of your demuxed ogg files. Assuming that it used vorbis audio that is.

Mux both mp3's with your video to avi using AVMuxGUI or VirtualDubMod. If your player supports multiple audio streams, then you will be able to select.

To match the bitrate though, you would use CBR. Not aware of how mix/max really fits in with mp3 encoding.

You probably shouldn't be matching the bitrate though anyway, since vorbis handles low bitrates better, plus you are re-encoding a lossy source. Also the overheads will most likely be different.

Want the quality to be good though.... will it suffer?

And yeah its vorbis.

For your first question, don't use VBR audio. It will just create problems and will not save enough space to be worth it, IMO. There are many, many posts here about VBR audio problems. Just convert to MP3 CBR. 128Kbps/48KHz should be fine.

And you want to burn it to a DVD data disc? But DIKO is a MPEG converter. What video format do you want use on the DVD?

If you convert it to MPEG-2 and author it as a DVD, then you can have multiple audio channels, but then it should be AC3 or MPEG-1, layer 2 audio.

Oh, and whats a VCF? Don't know what it's for

What DVD authoring program then?

[Goldman123]

And which decoder does Mpeg-1, layer 2 audio?

[celtic_druid]

I actually meant ABR above. Best way to match a bitrate.

Most mp3 decoders do mp2 as well. Think you meant encoder though. Try twolame or toolame. I'd go with AC3 though for better compatibility. Forget about what the original bitrate if you are converting to DVD video.
