Fastest Amiga MP3 encoder?

[selco]

What is the fastest Amiga MP3 encoder? (68k or PPC)Speed is the main issue, more important than best quality.

Is there anything that encodes faster than "Realtime"? (e.g. needs less than 10s to encode 10s of audio)?

Ok, thanks for the answers. I tried lame 3.20 (ELF) from Aminet. After some trouble with wrong samplingrates and bit resolutions it worked. It was  fast enough for my application.

But I still ended with lot of trouble...

I want ro encode the input from the soundcard directly (mounted AHI-device) and put the output into a pipe. (for reading by another program)

So I did something like this:

lame -b 16 -f audio:TYPE/AIFF/B/16/F/16000/UNIT/3 pipe:test.mp3

and in another shell window
myNextProgram pipe:test.mp3

which sould open pipe:test.mp3 for reading and further processing.

But that did not work. I guess lame had problems with reading the AHI-device...

Any suggestions what could be wrong here?

And another question: Is it possible on the Amiga to do the piping more unix-like? e.g. with some "|" instead of pipe:?

kind regards, selco

Is it? As a good Amigian I paid some mony for it when it was new ;-)

Well, the important thing for me is really to encode the audiostream from AHI-device and to put the result into a pipe.

I just found much newer version at http://www.honeypot.net/audio/
(3.92)

Maybe that works better with a raw input stream.

It would be really nice if someone could point my to that WOS version. I tried several LAMEs now, but they didn't support the "-r" option, so no chance for raw streams as input.
As you (lempkee) told explicitly that you are doing exactly this, the version you use seems to be the one I need.
Even a link to an older version on Aminet would be nice.

I tried TheMpegEncGUI too and it looks very nice. every parameter selectable. But that not solve my problem if the used LAME version not supports the option I want

[selco]

Could anybody point me a URL of a (PPC) LAME version that supports the "-r" option, e.g. reading sound directly from AHI-device? (raw data, no seek-operation on the input data)
