Fraunhofer - Where are the higher bitrates?

[TheEvilHammer]

I am trying to compress an MPEG video file in VirtualDub. For the audio, I select full processing mode and then choose the Fraunhofer IIS Codec, but the selectable bitrates only go up to 56 kb/s. I click the "Show All Formats" checkbox, and this does open up more bitrates, but all of them are still less than 56 kb/s. I was under the impression the Fraunhofer codec could do higher bitrates. Am I mistaken? If so, what audio codec should I be using? Thanks a lot.

You have a shitty MP3 codec that came with windows. :)

Email me, and I can send you a better codec for up to 320. screw that 56 crap!!

windows has packed original mp3 codecs made by frunhofer. they suppoert only upto 56kbps.

go to www.audioactive.com & dload the audioactive encoder in dload pages. its 30 day trial version.

alternativley u shud try for lame encoder, which the best encoder according to various tests. (better than original frounhofer codecs).

just do a search.
