MP2_ENCODE_CBR
|
0
|
Encode using the Constant Bitrate (CBR) specified inside the EncodeFormats.MP2.CBR property. In this mode, the bitrate will be the same for the whole file. It means that each part of your mp2 file will be using the same number of bits. The musical passage being a difficult one to encode or an easy one, the encoder will use the same bitrate, so the quality of your mp2 is variable. Complex parts will be of a lower quality than the easiest ones. The main advantage is that the final files size won't change and can be accurately predicted.

MP2_ENCODE_CUSTOM
|
1
|
Encode using the custom string defined inside the EncodeFormats.MP2.CustomString property.

This property is used only in the following situations:
During a recording session if the EncodeFormats.ForRecording property is set to ENCODING_FORMAT_MP2 (for further details see the How to perform a recording session section).
During a CD ripping session if the EncodeFormats.ForCdRipping property is set to ENCODING_FORMAT_MP2 (for further details see the How to perform a CD ripping session section).
During an exporting session if the EncodeFormats.ForExporting property is set to ENCODING_FORMAT_MP2 (for further details see the How to export a recorded sound section).
For further details about encoding in MP2 format refer to the MP2 object section.
For further information about available encoding formats see the EncodeFormats object.
