VirtualDub is limiting my mp3 bitrates! :(

[Lambchop]

I used to be able to encode at 224, 192 etc kb/s, but now virtualdub is limiting my mp3 encoding capablility to 128
I havn't changed anything on my system, to my knowledge, and click "show all formats", but still no high bit rates....any idea how I might get this back?

thanks

Try installing the Nimo codec pack, it has plenty of MP3 settings, also visit www.goldwave.com download and download the plug-ins, cool MP3 codec's there.

Thanks KingJ
I seem to have it sorted now! I don't get why they disappeared in the first place though
I got the Nimo codec pack - don't the quality of the different mp3 codecs differ though? How does this one rate, do you know?

[KingJohn]

Which one ?, well like Video codec's they serve a purpose, some work better than others when you doing different conversions, mono, stereo MP3 ram playback, some squeeze the last k out, while others don't go in for that.

Which one?

Do you mean which codec pack? I got v5, build 7 from http://nimo.everwicked.com/. I just installed all the audio codecs within that
