Hi,
Does anyone know software that will display the actual bitrate of a VBR music file as it is playing in realtime? For example, if I make a 256Kbps VBR AAC music file, I would be curious to see which passages go below that, which passages make it go above 256... It would also be interesting to know the highest and lowest bitrate sections. Ideally it should run on both Vista and XP.
Also, does anyone know the sample length that VBR looks at to determine what bitrate to make that passage? For example, does it look at 5 second passages, 10 second, 1 second...?
