[Libav-user] bitrate for multi-channel audio

[YIRAN LI]

Hi there,

According to this https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/HighQualityAudio


*To calculate the bitrate to use for multi-channel audio: (bitrate for
stereo) x (channels / 2).Example for 5.1(6 channels) Vorbis audio: 128Kbps
x (6 / 2) = 384Kbps*

Is it true for every encoder that supports multi-channel?

Is it ture for every encoder to use just bitarte/2 when encoding to mono
(like mp3) ? Because when encoding to stereo mp3 jointely encode both
channels so that compression can be imporved so when it's down to one
channel, should the bitrate > bitrate / 2?


Thanks for help!
