Hi,
Selected MP3 encoder VBR (not external). There is an optional parameter line. When I entered --alt-preset standard and encoded, got VBR, but I'm afraid it was not --alt-preset standard. Lame APS does a JS, this was stereo.
Either the parameters are not being passed correctly, or something else is wrong. BTW, can --alt-preset parameters be passed to the .dll version of Lame?

Durgame,
MJ 8.0 uses the Lame.exe (not the DLL)...check your task list and you'll see Lame.exe running during the encoding phases. And, NO - the .DLL versions of Lame do NOT accept 'any' command-line params...you have to setup options in a predefined structure that really is nothing like setting/using command-line options (very binary and internalized format).

For all Lame encoding CBR and VBR? I do not see Lame.dll in the MJ dir, so it must be.

See Lame running, but there was no ext, so I was not sure.
I selected MP3 Encoder VBR Custom. Not sure what showed up in the Quality option. Went to Advanced and put in --alt-preset Standard, then went to Quality and selected High.
This apparently overrides what's in Advanced. This was the first time I did encode on this PC and what was in MJ was install default.
The part I'm referring to is that Advanced option allowed to enter --alt-preset even with Qualtiy selected as High.
Maybe a good idea to re-design this area at some point, as it is confusing.

Durgame,
You have to leave Quality setting as Custom and then use the Advanced button to setup your custom command-line options. I think you figured that out, but I wanted to make sure. If you change Quality to something else, your custom command-line options are not passed to the Lame.exe (but are saved incase you choose Custom again).
