tmpgenc audio question

[tommcd64]

When you use tmpgenc to do the audio processing, I have selected stereo. Is the bitrate setting per channel or is it the setting for the whole sound stream? Thus if I have 2 channel audio and the bitrate setting is 128 is that 128 per channel (256 total) or is it 94 per channed (128 total)?

It is not per channel.

Thanks for the info. I am looking at using and external encoder for the sound such as toolame. Do the external sound encoders give better quality than tmpgenc?
