Hi.

I have a signal (192kbps) that I want to convert to 64 kbps signal to my mobile solution. How can I do this?

I use wincamp to receive the stream, and edcast to send the signal to icecast....

I have tried to setup edcast encoder to 64 kbps, but it still sends the signal with about 170-192 kbps.

Please help. Smile

There are many people who setup 2 or more edcast sessions from the same winamp. I would suggest that over the transcoder route if possible.

Hi KarlH.
Thanks for your answert. Smile
I just need one that plays with 64 kbps.

I have this now, but they says its playing with 170-192 kbps.
Icecast says 64 kbps, so I dont understand.

http://mobilstream.skala.fm

And the signal is:
http://mobilstream.skala.fm:8000/stream.ogg

I have a signal:
http://skala.radiostreaming.dk/Skala128 that plays with 128 kbps, and I need to convert this to a 64 kbps and send it to icecast.
Right now I use Winasmp to receive the signal from http://skala.radio... and then edcast to send it to Icecast.

What else do I have to do to make the signal to 64 kbps?

Sorry, I have to understand this.. Smile

It means that I have to to play the 128 kbps from Winamp and to edcast, and then make a "encoding" to 64 kbps with transcoder and then trough edcast again, and to icecast?? Or am I totally lost here? Smile

When my edcast plays from winamp and in Encoder Settings says MP3: 64 kbps/44100Hz/Stereo, shouln't it be in 64 kbps then????
The Transfer Rate is 178 Kbps right now, so I guess its not 64 kbps?

I am lost.. Pleeeease help... Will pay a lot of beers. Smile

edcast uses vbr by default.
You need to change lame_enc.dll and modify lame_enc.ini for cbr.
