Encoding / Recording Formats and Bitrates - Discontinued

   *****************************************************************************
NOTE: The "Save As MP3" feature is NOT available in Windows Vista or in newer 
      XP systems. Not even at the poor quality of 56kbps. The drop-down menu
      is grayed out.
*****************************************************************************

This software can open an MP3 file that is higher than the supported 56 kbps
rate but you won't be able to Save it as an MP3 file at the same high rate. 

Supported Bit Rates:
   WAV 1411 kbps
   WMA 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, 192 kbps
   MP3 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 kbps

                        *****

Encoding WMA:
   The included WMA Codec allows encoding up to 192 kbps.

Encoding MP3:
   This Software can Save MP3s up to 56 kbps. Not available in all systems. 
   You can open, play and edit MP3 files (of higher rates) but you can only
   Save up to 56 kbps in the MP3 (ACM format) unless you have a 3rd party MP3 
   Encoding Codec (such as CyberLink) installed on your computer. In this case
   you can use the higher Rates that this Codec supports.   

CODEC: Is an electronic device (a circuit consisting of an Encoder and 
       a Decoder) that converts analog signals into digital form and 
       compresses them to conserve bandwidth on a transmission path. 

Cyberlink's website is www.gocyberlink.com
Here's the link to the MP3 codec from Cyberlink:

                       *****************************

NOTE: As with everything Windows, please make sure you Close the program 
      and re-open it after any change you make such as:
      -  Activating the program from Demo to Full version with the Prod ID
      -  In certain system configurations, (including in Windows Vista) even 
         the low bit-rate of 56 kbps is not available. In these systems, the
         "Save As" is not available at all for MP3s. This is system and not
         program specific and it depends solely on the Codecs installed in 
         these systems.
