I've seen some mention that the newer LAME encoder no longer requires the "--alt" in the command line, but I can't seem to find any definitive answer on this.  Most people seem to be continuing to use the "alt."  Is "--preset standard" the same as "--alt-preset standard," and if so, is this what MC11 simply calls "High" for it's "Target Quality?"

Thanks,

Larry

As gpvillamil said they are the same. The switches are combined in the current LAME encoders (v. 3.95.1 -> ). MC11 has the latest version, v. 3.96.1.

These three strings trigger exactly the same encoding settings:
--alt-preset standard   =   --preset standard   =   -V 2


MC11 always displays the actual command line used with the selected option in the Command Line dialog box:
