"psy tunings" = "Psycho-acoustic model adjustments". Is that clearer? :)

I think that that's what Robert meant, yes.

Yes, that's what I thought, but I also thought that it would be best to ask
here.  If Robert is thinking the same things that I am thinking, the release
3.99.6 would be essentially what you have in Debian, plus (perhaps?) a few
minor patches from other projects.

They should all be contained in my git repository and releasing that would
be, essentially, cherry-picking the releases and putting them onto the 3.99
branch (I don't remember if my git repo has one such branch).

It would be a good thing to check with the people from handbrake if they
have some patches (they usually do).

Also regarding handbrake, the last time I checked, they were disabling the
joint-stereo mode of LAME when the bitrate was "high", but I suspect that
this is not exactly a recommended setting.

Robert, just confirming: joint-stereo is the preferred mode of compression
at all bitrates, right? If so, that may have to be patched (in handbrake
upstream or in Debian and other distributions).


Thanks,
